Fifty-eight accompany Yuan Bin
()
"I knew you were off today, so I came over to see you." Ou Lian pushed open the door and startled Xiao Xiao.
"Ah, Oulian sister? How did you come? It's really great, I was bored alone." Xiao ran over and hugged Oulian tightly, now there is finally someone to accompany her.
"Hehe, anyway, I'm bored alone too." Oulian sat down.
"Why didn't Oulian Jie go to the store and take a look? But it's better this way, Oulian Jie doesn't have to work too hard, after all, Lingxiu Ge is not as good as Oulian Jie, hehe." Xiaoxiao sat down next to Oulian, in Xiaoxiao's eyes, Oulian was the embodiment of a happy goddess.
"Hmm? Is that so?" Ou Lin simply looked at her.
This can only be a secret, no matter how hard it is to bear in your heart, don't tell anyone, including Xiao Xiao and Jing Xuan. She doesn't know if she's protecting them or Gao Yunxiu. Maybe some truths are better left unknown, maybe Gao Yunxiu just wants to get close to her, but he's not a bad person, he's a good guy, he won't do anything to hurt Xiao Xiao. After she leaves, they'll still live their peaceful lives. Maybe it's only because of her arrival that their lives have changed so much. Is she the one who caused Yuan Bin's death? If she hadn't come here to work, Yuan Bin and Yunxiu would still be good friends, Yuan Bin would still be managing his bar like before. If she had never appeared, how great would it be? She wouldn't have any worries now, and she'd still be in college. But everything is so incomplete now. Ou Lian has changed, no longer the perfect student who only knows how to study, but also a girl with feelings. She said she won't believe men anymore, but she's still gone to see him, those two people, Ou Lian... In the future, will she never think about anyone again?
"Hey, Oulian sister, why do you look unhappy today? Didn't you have a fight with Lingshu brother?" asked Xiao Xiao. Today's Oulian sister was indeed strange.
"It's okay, people always feel tired sometimes, and I'm not made of iron." Ou Zhen smiled, indeed feeling mentally exhausted.
"Yesterday... I've already heard it all from Jingxuan, and... Yuanbin ge's memorial service you didn't even attend..." The soft voice was very quiet, afraid that one careless word might provoke Oulian again.
"Yesterday... did Guo Lunxiu go or not?" Oulian thought for a moment, ah, she had actually missed Yuan Bin's memorial day, how could she be so careless.
"That's for sure, they're the best of brothers. How could Yuan Bin not have included Ling Xiu?" Xiaoxiao thought this was the most normal thing ever.
"Yes, the best... brother..." Ou Lin stared blankly out of the window, but there was no scenery in his eyes.
Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else, she knew that Oulian was still a bit hurt now, so it's better not to disturb her, just sit quietly with her, and accompanying her like this was also good.
"Are you drawing?" Oulu was quiet for a while and suddenly saw the album on the table.
"Hmm, I was just bored at home and drew for fun." Xiaoxiao smiled and handed the sketchbook to Oulian, hoping to shift her melancholy mood.
"Hehe, what's this painting?" Oulian smiled and took over the album.
"This is me and Jingxuan." Xiaoxiao smiled happily.
"Is... you with Jing Xuan? I thought it was two monkeys." Ou Lin laughed, truly delighted.
"Oh my, Oulian sister, what are you talking about? This is obviously a beautiful girl and a handsome boy, okay? ~~" Xiao Xiao said with a smile, but it was still heartwarming to see Oulian genuinely laugh.
"Haha, just kidding, but it's actually quite well-drawn, you've learned something!"
"Hmm, when I was in school, I learned art out of curiosity and even won an award. I was quite impressive back then!" Xiao smiled, as if she were still a student at that time.
"Why didn't you persist? If you had persisted, you would have become a famous writer."
"Hehe, where's the money to study art? My grades weren't good during the college entrance exams, so I dropped out and started working. Although I've regretted it before, I don't want to be so stressed out. Life is just imperfect like that, so as long as we let go, it's fine. I'm doing great now too, I have such a wonderful sister, and a handsome boyfriend who's really cool, hehe, I'm making money~~" Xiaoxiao leaned into Oulian's arms, with both complaints and resilience.
Yes, life is not perfect, as long as you are willing to let go, there's nothing that can't be overcome. Maybe I also need to learn from Xiaoxiao and let go of past regrets, but how can she grasp what's in front of her? How can she grasp it?
"Yes, Xiaoxiao is now the happiest child." Oulian hugged Xiaoxiao tightly, there's nothing happier than having a good friend.
"Ou Zhen is also... Although Yuan Bin is no longer here, but Ling Xiu treats you so well, I think Ling Xiu is the most suitable for Ou Zhen." Xiaoxiao sat up and looked at Ou Zhen, wanting to give her strength.
"Huh? You really think so?" Oulian felt very surprised.
"Hmm! We all admire Brother Ling! Even Jingxuan acknowledges it, looks like Brother Ling is really something! After so long, shouldn't you know that Brother Ling is an excellent man? We're all looking forward to your marriage, it must be especially happy and romantic. At that time, I want to be your bridesmaid~~" Xiaoxiao's genuine smile made Oulian believe that Guo Ling was indeed a perfect good man, they all thought so.
"Haha, that's for sure, you're the bridesmaid, I don't even know when I'm getting married yet......" Getting married? To whom? Guo Lianxiu? Thought about it before, really wanted to, but now? Is it still needed?
"What? Didn't Older Brother Gao ever mention wanting to get married to you? But anyway, since you're already living together, whether or not you get married is just a formality. However, that's the most important formality for women, oh! Sister Ou Lian wouldn't want to wear a wedding dress?" Xiao teased Ou Lian, at least bringing up sweet and happy memories of being with Gao Lin Xiu.
"I also want to wear a beautiful wedding dress and walk on the red carpet with the one I love... Everyone will be blessing us, and we'll be happy for the rest of our lives. How could I not think about it?" Oulian smiled, that would be so wonderful.
"Ou Lian, you're making me want to get married too! But I still have to wait until Jing Xuan graduates from university. If not, he won't study hard. However, as long as he's by my side, that's all that matters... those formalities will come later..." Xiao Xiao also smiled, and the two women looked so happy together.
"Will Xiaoxiao marry Jieyun? At that time, should I call you sister-in-law?" Ou Lian suddenly realized that until now, Xiaoxiao still calls her Ou Lian jiejie.
"Oh yeah! At that time I was already a sister-in-law!" Xiao Xiao seemed to have suddenly thought of it too.
"Hehe, no matter what, I still like it when you call me Oulian Jie, it feels... really fulfilling." Oulian smiled.
"It's also true that if Oulian suddenly starts calling me sister-in-law... I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it..." Xiaoxiao felt a little shy, but this was all true.
"Huh? I don't want to! You're obviously younger than me, okay?" Oulian also felt awkward.
"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on this issue anymore. Whatever it is, it's fine. Oulian sister, do you want me to draw one for you and Lingshu brother too? How about a wedding photo?"
"Okay, I want to wear a beautiful wedding dress, draw one for me."
"That's for sure, just wait, it'll be fine in about three days."
"It's great, it seems that we don't need to spend money on wedding photos anymore, you can just draw them for us." Ou Lian smiled, but was surprised to find herself saying "we" - who? Herself and Gao Lingxiu? How is that possible?
"Okay, but I'm going to want a high salary, hehe."
"Xiao Xiao, let's go take a look at Yuan Bin together later?" Oulian's heart was very calm.
"Huh? Going to see Yuan Bin's brother?"
"Yeah, I didn't go see him yesterday, he must be mad."
"How could this be? Yuan Bin's temper is the best. Hmm, let me tidy up and we'll go, how about that?"
"Okay."
All the way, Ou Zhen didn't say a word, she just quietly looked outside, the car was driving so fast, just like her own heart wanting to see Yuan Bin, wishing she could arrive by his side immediately.
It's been a while since the kids came to visit Yuanbin, and Yuanbin must be thinking of them too. Oulian placed flowers in front of Yuanbin's grave, squatted down to caress the tombstone, and looking at that bright smile made it seem like Yuanbin was right there beside her. In fact, she really felt like Yuanbin had never left at all, did she? This feeling of happiness still feels so real...
Ou Zhen didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that if she revealed the secret of Gou Lianxiu, Yuan Bin would cry in heaven and be heartbroken. She wouldn't let him be sad and desperate, his Lianxiu brother was still the best Lianxiu brother, she could just know it herself and hate it, let her alone bear the guilt and atone for her sins, others were innocent...
Seeing Oulian so calm and leaning against Wu Yuanbin's tombstone, Xiaoxiao didn't dare to cry out loud. She was afraid that if she cried out loud, it would disturb the heart-to-heart connection between Oulian and Wu Yuanbin. They were still together, without needing words or hugs, yet they could still be together.
Ou lay down beside Wu Yuanbin and fell asleep, Xiao didn't wake Ou up, it's good this way, they will definitely meet in their dreams, let them be together again. Xiao walked over to help Ou put on his coat, sitting quietly beside him waiting. Ou was really tired, but felt very at ease in Wu Yuanbin's arms...
"...so cold..." Ou Zhen seemed to have woken up.
"Ou Lian jie, are you awake?" Xiao Xiao walked over, didn't expect that one sleep would be a whole day, now it's almost dark.
"It's so cold... little one..." Ou Zhen hugged Xiao Xiao tightly, her whole body trembling. "Ideal Home"... ??
