Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Eldest Brother’s Wedding

A few days before the start of school, she accompanied Lin Lishan to send some items to Sheng Chen, and they ran into Wen Tian, who had just come out of the bookstore.

That day, the weather was fine, and the morning sunlight filtered through the sparse branches on the sidewalk, casting mottled shadows over Wen Tian.

The reserved young man wore a light-colored coat and a scarf, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes soft and gentle, looking down at a book he held.

She and Lin Lishan walked over, gently tapped his shoulder: "Wen Tian."

Wen Tian looked up, a hint of surprise upon seeing Fu Ying: "Huh? Why are you guys here?"

Close by was their graduated high school—this street was lined with stationery stores and bookstores, as well as snack shops and parcel services for the convenience of students.

All in all, it had everything necessary, all for the ease of boarding students.

"I came to buy some things, and also sent Shen Chen a couple of new clothes."

Wen Tian smiled and nodded: "I thought after graduation you wouldn’t come here anymore."

Lin Lishan: "How could that be possible? After all, I have three years of memories here; it’s also where Shen Chen and I met. We plan to come here for our wedding photos in the future."

Hearing Lin Lishan say this, Fu Ying suddenly realized that this place seemed like the starting point of her journey here; the platform opposite the school was where she truly met him after that fire.

At that time, he clutched a cigarette, his smile somewhat improper, the mole at the corner of his eye so tender.

During high school, he was non-existent yet seemingly present in her life.

"Wen Tian, what book are you reading?" Lin Lishan leaned over to peek at the book in his hand.

Wen Tian, slightly embarrassed, lifted it up: "Quite interesting, just browsing, a book about love."

"Oh? Let me see."

The book was titled "Is My Heartbeat Too Obvious?", Lin Lishan flipped open the title page, and read the line written there.

Fu Ying glanced and heard Lin Lishan read: "In that brilliant youth, I was a mute."

Somehow, Fu Ying understood that sentence.

She too had been a mute in her brilliant youth.

Bitter yet sweet.

"What’s written in this book?" Lin Lishan asked Wen Tian.

Wen Tian glanced at Fu Ying, then quickly averted his gaze, looking at the students at the high school entrance, saying, "The most pure, clean fondness of youth, without any flaws."

Lin Lishan nodded: "Just some campus romance, huh? Have you read it? Is it good?"

"I read the e-book before and thought it wasn’t bad, so I bought the physical book for my collection."

"Even a top student reads romance, who would have thought."

Wen Tian smiled shyly, and as his gaze turned to Fu Ying, she was already starting the first Chapter of the book.

Love hidden in the heart, then it became a secret.

Then rumors spread everywhere about liking you, everyone thought it was a joke, only I knew, my heartbeat was too obvious, and then I simply let it become an open secret.

That afternoon passed quickly, with days and nights turned upside down, spring arrived, everything revived, the weather warmed up, Fu Yi began preparing for the wedding, Grandmother started urging the "Second Sister" to get married...

On the day of elder brother’s wedding, Fu Ying saw that gentle girl next door, dressed in a pristine wedding gown, cry after saying "I do". No one knew when she started liking Fu Yi, nor how she persevered alone in her solo act.

That young girl who just entered middle school felt at first sight that Fu Yi was different from others.

From girlhood crush to love, then to marriage, nothing was easy.

The night before the wedding, Fu Ying suddenly asked her a question: "All these years we were apart, did Sister Jin Yun keep thinking about my elder brother?"

Xia Jinyun thought for a moment and shook her head: "After your elder brother went to B University, this feeling subsided. The next time we met, it was when I was rescued from a suicide attempt, and I accidentally discovered that he had become a firefighter. And still, my heart beats wildly for him."

It seemed like, her and Shen Liguang.

Fu Ying looked up and saw her elder brother wiping Xia Jinyun’s tears, looking so tender. Her eyes reddened, and tears fell without warning.

Grandma saw the girl cry all of a sudden and asked with concern: "Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Ying shook her head, wiping away her tears, and smiled at her grandma: "I’m just moved. The things big brother just said were too touching."

"In the future, our Yingying will also stand up there, but by then, grandma won’t be able to see it."

Fu Ying looked up at her grandma and then buried herself in her embrace: "Grandma, you’ll live to see my wedding, I... I’ll marry early."

Grandma smiled indulgently: "Look at this little girl, just got together with someone and already eager for them to get married. Girls should be more reserved."

Fu Ying blushed: "That’s not it. Don’t keep bringing it up, grandma, or my dad will find out."

Grandma couldn’t help but laugh: "Alright, alright, I won’t say anything, I’ll keep your secret."

Grandma teased her, watching her blush and feel embarrassed, laughing joyously.

Several firefighters came to the elder brother’s wedding, but he couldn’t make it.

That day he was responding to an emergency call; while toasts were exchanged at the hotel, he and several firefighters rushed into the inferno with water hoses.

After the wedding ended, and the guests dispersed, he had just extinguished the fire and was washing his face with water.

Qian Zheng said: "Today is Captain Fu’s wedding, right? It’s a pity, I couldn’t drink the wedding wine."

Wu Xiaowu: "When he comes tomorrow, if he doesn’t bring wedding candy, we’ll make him train so hard that he’ll be exhausted, too tired to do anything when he gets home at night."

Shen Liguang couldn’t help but laugh: "They just got married, and you want him to have no energy at night, that’s too much."

Wu Xiaowu laughed carelessly.

Qian Zheng sighed: "During the New Year, my family set me up on a blind date. Initially, it seemed promising, but as soon as they heard I was a firefighter, they worried about being left home alone and called it off. In our line of work, we earn the title of hero but lose so much time with family and loved ones."

Someone agreed: "Isn’t that the truth? My wife and I aren’t young anymore, and we think about having a second child. I only go home twice a month; trying for a child is too difficult."

Shen Liguang paused slightly, stowed away the water hose: "Why not bring your wife here?"

The man shook his head: "It’s impossible, she has to take care of the elderly and kids at home. Sometimes I feel quite guilty; she has never complained."

Shen Liguang couldn’t help but think of the girl.

If one day, they entered into marriage, became husband and wife, she would also be neglected at home.

She’s still so young, could she really manage all by herself at home?

Shen Liguang lowered his head, looking at the small elastic band on his wrist, discovering that it had been scorched during the fire; the outer pink thread had come off, exposing the elastic underneath.

"Xiao Shen, I heard you have a girlfriend too, she hasn’t complained about you?"

Shen Liguang shook his head.

Thinking of the little girl, afraid to disturb his work, even hesitating whether to call him or not, he smiled.

"She’s very well-behaved."

Wu Xiaowu looked at his boss’s expression, as if seeing a ghost.

He hadn’t expected, after so many years, to see him smile with a heart full of love.

Qian Zheng was washing his face with clean water, wiping off his clothes: "Boss, next time bring your girlfriend so I can meet her."

Shen Liguang nodded: "I’ll discuss it with her when I get back."
