"Ouch!"
A car came speeding towards her. In that instant, Ji Siyue felt her body go numb. Everything in front of her was flying by.
Finally, like a fallen leaf, she collapsed to the ground without a sound.
To be precise, Ji Siyue couldn't hear any sound anymore.
Her vision began to blur. All she could see was a red haze. Soon, the area around her was swarmed with people.
She was waiting for someone, hoping to catch one last glimpse of that person before she died - even though she knew that person wasn't at this test site.
Suddenly, the crowd in front of Ji Siyue seemed to be forcefully pushed aside! Then, a panicked face appeared before her.
Even though her vision was gradually fading, she managed to squeeze out a smile, for she knew - he had come.
So, he had come.
When she opened her eyes, she was still lying on the cold floor.
Ji Siyue got up from the ground, feeling sore all over as if she had been run over by a truck several times.
Her whole body was cold, as if she had died and come back to life.
Everything that had just happened was crystal clear in her mind. She felt as if she had returned to her sophomore and junior years of high school, but she wasn't sure when she had started to mistake that dream for reality and now consider this the dream.
She staggered back to the soft bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and stared at the bright moonlight outside the window, trying hard to figure out this question.
When a streak of white light sliced through the light - blue sky in the east, she finally figured it out.
She understood when she had started to lose the ability to distinguish between dreams and reality.
It seemed... it had started when she threw herself into Qin Chengyao's arms.
At the end of the dream, Qin Chengyao came to find her.
Although she didn't know if Qin Chengyao had really come that year in senior high school, in the dream, that person had truly appeared.
And it was because of this person's appearance that Ji Siyue understood one thing - in this lifetime, she would never be able to let go of that person...
She got out of bed, picked up her phone to check the time. It was 7:30 in the morning.
But the date was the day after she had gotten drunk.
Which meant... today was Qin Chengyao's wedding day!
Ji Siyue stood there like a lonely ghost for a while. Then, like a madwoman, she rummaged through everything. From a corner of the drawer of her dressing table, she found a small box. Opening it, there was a game coin inside.
This was from the time when she was in senior high school and was together with Qin Chengyao. They had sneaked off to a game arcade for some fun during their busy schedule.
They had spent a hundred yuan and got ninety - nine game coins. They hadn't managed to win anything, and in the end, there was one left over. Ji Siyue had taken it as a souvenir.
She took out the game coin and placed it in her palm.
Let's flip the coin.
If it landed on heads, she would go to the wedding to bless him. If it landed on tails...
Ji Siyue took a deep breath and tossed the coin up forcefully.
The coin flipped violently in the air. All that could be seen was a silver glint.
When the coin fell, she caught it with her hand and squeezed it tightly.
Her hand formed a fist, and the skin between her fingers turned white, showing how much strength she was using.
But after waiting for a while, she didn't open her palm. Instead, she smiled as if she had let go of something and stuffed the game coin into her pocket.
She turned around and walked out.
Sometimes, you don't need to leave the decision to fate, because the moment you toss the coin, your heart has already made a choice.
The biggest difference between humans and gods is that the scale in one's heart always tilts towards one's selfish side. So, if you hope for it to be a certain side, you've already made your choice.
...
Today was the wedding day of the chairman of the Qin Group and his fiancée, who had been engaged for two years. The announcement had been made three days ago, so there were hordes of people gathered outside. Some small media outlets without entry passes had also arrived early and were waiting at the entrance.
The Qin Group was involved in many industries, including the entertainment circle. So, there were also some celebrities present.
The guests had all arrived, walked on the red carpet, and entered the banquet hall on the first floor of the hotel to wait.
It was 10 a.m. now. There were still two hours until the wedding started.
Unfortunately, there was a traffic jam.
Ji Siyue was stuck on the Fourth Ring Road, twenty kilometers away from the Golden Dragon Hotel. Seeing that the traffic jam would last for a long time, she got impatient. She got out of the car and started running forward.
She was wearing a hat and a mask. Ordinary people couldn't tell who she was at all. They just thought this girl was crazy, leaving her car behind.
After running for a while, her body couldn't take it anymore, but she had already run out of the traffic - jammed area.
She stood by the roadside trying to hail a taxi, but she waited for a long time without success.
Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly heard a soft "meow~" in her ear.
She turned around and saw a skinny little orange cat lying on the car window. The person sitting in the driver's seat was Xiao Zhang.
"What a coincidence, Sister Ji! You seem really anxious! Need a ride?"
Without a word, Ji Siyue rushed to the passenger seat and got in the car. As soon as she fastened her seatbelt, Xiao Zhang drove off.
Ji Siyue asked him, "Do you know where I'm going?"
Xiao Zhang replied, "I do."
"Where?"
The Golden Dragon Hotel.
There were still forty - five minutes until the wedding started.
Xiao Zhang's car stopped at the entrance. Just as Ji Siyue was about to get out of the car, Xiao Zhang grabbed her wrist.
"Wait for me. Let's go in together. If you rush in by yourself, those media people will definitely mock you!"
"Do you have an invitation card? I heard that each person needs one, and I only have one."
"Your humble servant's face is the invitation card!"
Xiao Zhang got out of the car and opened the door for Ji Siyue himself. He was holding a little orange cat in one hand and holding Ji Siyue's hand in the other as they walked forward slowly.
Ji Siyue was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she got drunk. She had only washed up in the morning and hadn't put on any makeup. She was bare - faced. Fortunately, she had a good complexion, so even in front of the camera, she didn't look too disheveled.
When they reached the entrance, the usher asked for the invitation cards. Ji Siyue showed hers and looked at Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang wasn't in a hurry. He slowly made a phone call, as if he was asking someone to come.
After a while, a chubby middle - aged man rushed out of the hotel. Seeing Xiao Zhang, he immediately bowed ninety degrees.
"Master! Why did you come? I failed to welcome you properly!"
"Master?" Ji Siyue looked at Xiao Zhang suspiciously.
What master? Why didn't she understand?
Xiao Zhang just winked at Ji Siyue. "Your humble servant said that this face is the invitation card. How about it! Isn't it a face of wealth?"
