Free Web NovelChapter 2482: Chapter 1565: The Rain Isn’t That Heavy
Don’t be fooled by Boss Jiang’s relaxed appearance, he’s actually had quite a bit to drink. He took a breath and said, "What exactly are you referring to? We’ve talked so much, our conversations could fill several gigabytes. Which one are you talking about?"
"You know."
Is this getting a bit ambiguous?
"I don’t know."
"Still pretending to be clueless? Didn’t you make me a promise once?"
Fang Qing got curious, "What promise did he make you?"
"Tell me yourself, what did you say you’d do when I got married?"
Someone still shook their head, perhaps their memory was diluted by alcohol.
"Trying to surprise me?"
Tie Jun laughed, "Your surprise was caught on camera and posted online!"
"..."
Finally.
There was a slight flicker in his eyes.
Looks like he’s pretending.
He clearly remembers everything.
Now, Tie Jun was sure it was an arrangement by an old friend. His emotions surged, and he opened his mouth only to smile wryly with both gratitude and helplessness.
"I’m just an ordinary person, this is a bit over the top."
"A promise is a promise, it has to count."
Jiang Chen casually confirmed that the Koenigsegg causing a stir on social media was indeed his doing.
Of course.
Sha City is such a small place.
Who else could it be?
"Didn’t they stop producing that car?"
"In the capitalist world, there’s only one rule."
Tie Jun understood.
A frog in a well cannot understand the vastness of the sky.
Jiang Chen’s level was beyond his understanding.
Forget about the color.
Even printing their wedding photo on it should be easy.
"I’m just keeping my promise. Whether you use it or not is up to you."
"Since you’ve gotten it, how can I not use it?"
Tie Jun then said to Fang Qing, "Qing Gege, I guess I won’t be borrowing your car."
"What kind of car did he get you?"
Fang Qing sensed something.
Tie Jun sighed, feeling a hard-to-describe "heaviness."
"A Koenigsegg One:1."
"..."
Fang Qing was silent and then said, "Isn’t that car a two-seater?"
"..."
"..."
A lawyer’s mind really is different.
"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded, "You’ll have to drive the car yourself as the groom."
Tie Jun smiled bitterly once more.
Looks like this wedding of his is bound to be unique and unforgettable.
"Just a heads up, if it gets scratched or something, I’m not responsible."
"Then you better be careful. It’s not auspicious for the wedding car to have an accident on the wedding day."
Tie Jun’s eye twitched, unable to bear it, he cursed, "I’ve never driven such a crazy car before."
Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Just go slower."
Tie Jun was left speechless, picked up a bottle of alcohol, chugged it and walked away silently.
Between brothers, too many words are unnecessary.
"When did you make such a promise to him?"
Fang Qing’s focus was peculiar.
"A long time ago, I forgot exactly when. Who didn’t brag a little when they were kids?"
"Your memory is quite good."
Fang Qing praised his honesty and credibility.
For some reason, Jiang Chen started evading, "Why hasn’t Tong Dan come back yet? Did she go to throw up? Go check on her."
Fu Zili was humorous. freeweɓnovel.cøm
As this bachelor night drew to a close, he played "Unforgettable Evening."
"Unforgettable evening, unforgettable evening~"
Amid the chorus, the reunion themed "promise" came to an end.
As they emerged from the elevator, everyone’s faces glowed with alcohol.
"Xiao Yu, take your sister Tong Dan home."
"Don’t worry Brother Tie Jun, leave it to me."
"You two..."
As the main character, Tie Jun had to be responsible for everyone. Tong Dan was flushed from drinking, swaying as she walked. Similarly, Jiang Chen and Fang Qing also drank quite a bit.
"It’s okay, take care of Captain Wu."
Boss Jiang’s drinking manners were impeccable; no matter how much he drank, he never showed it in front of others.
"Okay."
The two left together, so Tie Jun wasn’t too worried, "Message me when you get home." freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Mr. Jiang, see you."
Wu Yubin bid farewell.
"See you."
Jiang Chen bid goodbye to everyone and walked with Fang Qing towards the edge of the square, where a line of taxis awaited passengers.
Watching the two of them walk away, Ji Ailin still felt dreamy and could not quite snap out of it.
Had these heavenly figures appeared before her so vividly and authentically?
"Let’s walk for a bit."
Just as Jiang Chen was about to open a cab door, Fang Qing suddenly said this.
Walk?
It’s almost one in the morning.
But Jiang Chen withdrew his hand and nodded.
Walking a bit after drinking a lot is actually quite pleasant. Sitting in a car might make you feel dizzy instead.
The midnight air felt a bit gloomy, and faint dark clouds drifted above. The constant cool wind not only blew leaves off trees but also diluted the alcohol scent on them.
Of course.
It’s just a temporary fix.
The alcohol scent can disperse but the alcohol in the blood can’t be cleared.
"Is your stomach uncomfortable?"
Jiang Chen noticed Qing Mei holding her stomach, "Do you want to go to the hospital? Getting an IV drip might help a lot."
"How embarrassing."
"Why embarrassing? No one saw."
Is he not considering himself a person?
"It’s okay, a walk will do."
Jiang Chen isn’t the nagging type, so he didn’t insist, "Let me know if you can’t handle it."
"Your drinking tolerance has improved."
"Like you, risking my life to accompany a gentleman. Tie Jun won’t forget his wedding."
Fang Qing laughed, holding her stomach tighter.
Jiang Chen didn’t dare offer to carry her, in his current state, trying to carry someone might end up in a fall.
"How about we sit down for a bit?"
"Mm."
In the middle of the night, the two sat down on the curb. Occasionally, a car would pass by, casting fleeting and blurred shadows of light.
Fang Qing felt much better, slowly relaxing her grip on her stomach, but she still didn’t say a word.
"I think it’s going to rain."
Jiang Chen, sitting by the road, looked up at the sky.
"Why don’t we catch a ride back?"
"Let’s wait and see."
"..."
Alright.
Jiang Chen quieted down.
They just sat there on the roadside at night, not knowing what they were looking at, just like not knowing why some old people like to daydream.
"Drip, drip, drip..."
As expected.
Someone’s judgment was correct, sparse raindrops started to appear, landing on their hair and cheeks.
Jiang Chen quickly patted his backside and got up. But at this hour, there were few taxis around; they had to find a place to shelter first.
"Let’s go, find a place to hide from the rain."
Fang Qing extended her hand.
Without a second thought, Jiang Chen habitually held her hand and pulled her up.
The two relocated, taking shelter under the eaves of a street-facing shop.
"Pitter-patter—"
The rain fell like a broken string of beads, swaying in the wind and scattering.
Still holding hands, this scene had played out countless times before, only that from children to teenagers, from young adults to now.
Much like a slideshow of life’s film.
Under the same scene framework, the characters unknowingly grew up.
"It probably won’t last long."
Jiang Chen lifted his arm to wipe the water off his face.
"I wish this rain would never stop."
Jiang Chen was startled but didn’t turn his head.
The rain.
Wasn’t heavy indeed.
It’s just that night fell.
It’s just that memories were rampant.
It’s just that regrets were many.
It’s just that they didn’t bring an umbrella.
"How could it never stop?"
Jiang Chen said, then suddenly felt a squeeze on his right hand, prompting him to turn his head.
The confusion after drinking and the inherent rationality conflicted and intertwined within his eyes, exuding a force that made hearts tremble.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak.
"Shh."
Fang Qing looked at him with a never-before-seen expression,
"Didn’t you say you couldn’t tell the difference?"
"I’ll help you."
The interrupted conversation continued here.
In Jiang Chen’s numbed brain and dilated pupils, the pull from their joined hands drew that face, as warm as time itself, closer amid the noise of cars speeding by on the road.
Ultimately.
All distances vanished.
Raindrops blurred the street scenery.
A man and a woman kissed intimately under the eaves of a shop by the roadside, and didn’t part for a long while.
