Ji Siyue: "… Just talk properly."
"After you've finished your business, I'll tell you. Now, go quickly!"
Xiao Zhang gave Ji Siyue a gentle push forward. Ji Siyue took a few steps forward and then looked back. That person was still standing there, eyes fixed on her, a faint, ambiguous smile on the corner of his lips.
Maybe it was just Ji Siyue's illusion, but she always felt that this boy, much younger than herself, seemed to have expectation and hope in his eyes, as if... she carried his hopes.
Once inside the wedding venue, Ji Siyue immediately caught the attention of most people present.
The first one to rush over was actually Zhu Zhiyao.
"Siyue? Why are you here?"
Looking at her old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Ji Siyue showed a faint smile on her face. "Why can't I be here?"
"Are you here today to..."
"Isn't this a wedding? Of course, I'm here to attend the wedding." Ji Siyue stared at her as if looking at an idiot. "What? Do you think I'll do something out of line?"
At this moment, another person walked out from the side and directly said to Ji Siyue, "I actually hope you'll do something out of line."
Ji Siyue took a look and saw it was Nangong Qi.
Among the four of them back then, she had already seen three, and the other one was about to return to the country... Ji Siyue always felt that things were going to get out of control soon.
"Seriously, do you have the intention to disrupt the wedding?" Nangong Qi looked at Ji Siyue seriously. "If you really have any thoughts, bro will help you!"
Ji Siyue neither agreed nor refused, but just let out a cold laugh. "Humph..."
This laugh was full of ambiguity.
Zhu Zhiyao said from the side, "Siyue, I've known Lao Qin for so long that I can pretty much guess his thoughts. Although it's his wedding today, I think that as long as you give him a definite look before the vows, he'll also leave with you regardless of anything."
"Come on, can you guys stop causing trouble!" Ji Siyue walked to her seat and sat down. Although there were people looking at her, no one came over to talk to her.
Just then, a girl in a bridesmaid's dress suddenly walked over.
"Miss Ji, could you please come with me?"
"Hmm? Who are you?"
"I'm a bridesmaid. The bride asked me to come and invite you over. She said she has something to say to you."
So it was Liu Xuejiao?
But Ji Siyue thought that whatever Liu Xuejiao wanted to say to her should have been said three days ago. Calling her over now, did she have something else to say?
"I don't want to go." Ji Siyue said directly.
She had already made up her mind. If she saw Liu Xuejiao, Ji Siyue was afraid that she would change her mind because of her words.
"She said she has something for you."
"… Alright."
Ji Siyue could tell that this woman was determined to make her go. If she didn't go, she probably wouldn't let her off easily.
She followed this woman to the back corridor. When passing by a lounge, the bridesmaid pointed to the door and said, "It's in there."
"Okay."
Ji Siyue opened the door and stood at the door, taking a look inside. But just as she poked her head in, someone gave her a hard push on the back.
She staggered into the dark room, and the door behind her was slammed shut!
All the fear and unease in her body gathered together. She rushed over and pulled the doorknob hard, but the door had already been locked from the outside!
She tried to ram it with her shoulder a couple of times, but it didn't budge. All it did was cause her pain; it was useless!
"Damn it! What the hell!"
Ji Siyue rarely swore. She guessed that this was Liu Xuejiao's plan, just to prevent her from causing trouble today and ruining her wedding.
Perhaps when she gave her that wedding invitation, she didn't expect her to actually come.
Ji Siyue instinctively reached into her pocket to get her phone, but then suddenly realized that her phone seemed to be in her bag, and the bag was just behind her seat!
Oh no. Now, she was really going to be locked up here for God knows how long!
Ji Siyue tried to shout a couple of times, but found that her voice sounded very faint, even though she had shouted as loudly as she could.
She fumbled to turn on the light switch and saw that there was sound - absorbing sponge on the ceiling of the room.
"Hey?" She let out an incredulous laugh. "You've prepared quite well! Have you been planning to lock me up here for a long time?"
…
"She's not answering?" Nangong Qi asked.
"Yeah, she still hasn't answered. I've made several WeChat calls." Zhu Zhiyao said worriedly.
"Did she block you? After all, you haven't contacted her for several years!"
"No way! I saw her WeChat moments from two years ago just the other day. If she blocked me, I wouldn't be able to see them!" Zhu Zhiyao said firmly.
Nangong Qi gave in. "Alright, alright! Let's go look for her. It's just this small area anyway."
The two of them went looking together. Finally, they found the seat with Ji Siyue's name on it. She wasn't there, but there was a black bag on the seat, faintly glowing.
Zhu Zhiyao opened it and saw that it was actually Ji Siyue's phone, with several missed WeChat calls from herself on it.
"She didn't answer the call ten minutes ago either. Even if she went to the restroom, it shouldn't take this long, right?"
"Maybe she wasn't mentally prepared?"
Zhu Zhiyao didn't say anything and just picked up Ji Siyue's bag to go look for her.
He took a couple of steps and then turned back to Nangong Qi. "You stay here. It's not appropriate if both of us go looking."
Nangong Qi knew what he meant. After all, this was Liu Xuejiao and Qin Chengyao's wedding. It wouldn't sound good if the best friends of the groom all went to care about an ex - girlfriend.
After Zhu Zhiyao walked to the back corridor, he walked while shouting.
"Siyue! Siyue!"
After shouting for a while with no response, he left. But what he didn't know was that Ji Siyue had heard his voice, had shouted back loudly, and had even rammed the door, but because her voice was too faint, she hadn't been noticed.
"Zhu Zhiyao! Zhu Zhiyao! I'm here!" Ji Siyue shouted a few more times, but still got no response. Helpless, she sat back down on the floor dejectedly.
There was nothing in this room except a TV that seemed to be unplugged. There wasn't even a place to sit. She had just slept on the floor for two days, and now she had to suffer this kind of grievance again. Even if Ji Siyue had a good temper, she was starting to lose her patience now.
