"Director Liu, you also came to attend Xiao Zhao's wedding? Come, let's have another drink! "
Looking at the lively scene in front of me, I was a bit absent-minded. I numbly raised the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. I don't know how many glasses it was anymore. I didn't even know if what I drank was beer, white wine, or just plain water, I couldn't tell, and didn't know who persuaded me to drink.
I sat at the table with a dull gaze, and recalled every bit of Zhao Yanyan and me, the goddess in my heart, now I could only silently watch her, and become someone else's bride.
Zhao Yanyan and I were classmates since high school, and we were deskmates. At that time, Zhao Yanyan was the focus of the school, not only were her grades excellent, she was also multi-talented, and most importantly beautiful, she was privately named the school flower by many students.
Although she and I sat at the same table, we actually didn't talk much. We only spoke a few words, and they were all irrelevant. My personality in high school was a bit introverted, of course, because I wasn't good at studying, and wasn't the type of student that the teachers doted on, I wouldn't get too much attention, and belonged to the type that was dispensable.
I don't know when it started, but I deeply liked Zhao Yanyan, or maybe it was just a good impression. However, I liked to silently pay attention to her, every move, every frown and smile. However, I never told her, because there was no lack of pursuers around her, and everyone's conditions seemed to be a lot better than mine.
During the second year of high school, we went our separate ways. She chose liberal arts, but I still chose science. At that time, science wasn't my strong point, but I always had a fear of unfamiliar environments, so I stayed in the original class to pass the time.
After separating from Zhao Yanyan, I thought I could forget the girl that appeared in my dreams every night, but I was wrong. Not only did my longing for Zhao Yanyan not decrease, it increased day by day, she completely became the goal of my life.
I knew that with Zhao Yanyan's grades, she would definitely get into a top university in the country, if I wanted to continue seeing her, I had to work hard. Under this intangible motivation, I threw myself into books in the last year of high school, and picked up a lot of knowledge that I left behind in the first and second year.
Finally, during the college entrance examination, she lived up to everyone's expectations and got into the nationally famous Huaxia University. In the joyous atmosphere of the adults in the family, I knew that this credit actually belonged to Zhao Yanyan, if it wasn't because I missed her, and if I didn't know that she would apply for Huaxia University, I wouldn't have worked so hard.
When the new students reported in, I unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. After not seeing her for a year, Zhao Yanyan became even more beautiful. Although I don't feel as inferior as before, compared to Zhao Yanyan, I know that I'm still not worthy of her. Which student in Huaxia University wasn't an outstanding student in high school? Compared to them, I have nothing to be proud of.
What surprised me was that as the school beauty of Huaxia University, Zhao Yanyan didn't have a single boyfriend in her four years of university, nor did she have any scandals.
It could be seen in high school that Zhao Yanyan definitely lived in a very superior family, there was a special car to take her to and from school. Compared to me, whose parents were both workers, it was a world of difference.
In the four years of university, I continuously wanted to get closer to her, study finance, study politics, learn many foreign languages, join various clubs to improve myself, I became the main force of the clubs in basketball, football, swimming, sanda, shooting, and represented Huaxia University in the National University Competition many times. It could be said that the me in university had completely changed from the weak Liu Lei in middle school, and became a dazzling star in Huaxia University. There were also a lot of girls who pursued me, but I couldn't forget Zhao Yanyan.
Perhaps it was due to my personality, but I never confessed to Zhao Yanyan. I was afraid of failure, afraid of being rejected, afraid of losing this feeling that I kept for many years. From my point of view, although I didn't confess to Zhao Yanyan, it meant that I still had a chance. I didn't want to easily waste this chance, so I still worked hard to improve myself, and surpass myself.
After graduation, I was lucky enough to work in the same company as Zhao Yanyan again. I was still single, and so was Zhao Yanyan.
At the end of the year when I was thirty-one, I finally reached the peak of my career, and became the CEO of the Huaxia region of the company. I knew that the chance I had been waiting for had arrived, I prepared to confess to Zhao Yanyan on Christmas this year, and poured out my feelings for her.
As the saying goes, eight or nine out of ten things don't go your way in life.
On Christmas, I went to the flower shop early in the morning to order a bunch of fresh flowers, and also booked a private room at Maxim Western Restaurant. I prepared to ask Zhao Yanyan out for dinner tonight, and then find a suitable time to confess to her.
I walked into the office happily, the secretary Xiao Zhang gave me a bunch of greeting cards, I smiled, being the CEO is good, even if you don't send greeting cards to others, others have to send them to you.
At the top of the greeting cards was an invitation, this sort of thing could be seen almost every day. Sitting in the position of the CEO of the Huaxia region, there were social events almost every day. Lazily, I picked it up and opened it. When I opened it, I felt like the world was spinning, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar. All of a sudden, my mind went blank. This invitation was like a bolt from the blue, hitting me deeply in the chest.
Zhao Yanyan is getting married?! I suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry, but I couldn't do so. What made me not know whether to laugh or cry was that the groom's name was actually my assistant Xu Qingwei. He and Zhao Yanyan were actually getting married? Why didn't I know anything before, I smiled wryly and shook my head. In this one year, I put all my heart into my career, and rarely asked about other things, what was even funnier was that this Xu Qingwei was promoted from the position of manager of the public relations department when I was the CEO, Zhao Yanyan, who was originally the assistant manager of the public relations department, was now the manager of the public relations department.
After a long while, I finally calmed down my emotions, since it didn't start, then let it end.
I raised my wine glass, and walked shakily in front of Zhao Yanyan and Xu Qingwei, and said incoherently, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Zhao. I — — I wish you two a hundred years of blissful marriage, and have a child soon! "
Xu Qingwei and Zhao Yanyan also raised their wine glasses, Zhao Yanyan smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Director Liu!"
I finished the wine in my glass in one breath, just as I was about to return to the table, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart, causing me to fall onto the floor.
Seeing that I fell, Xu Qingwei quickly shouted, "Quickly call the ambulance, Director Liu fainted, his head hit the corner of the table, there's a lot of blood!"
Zhao Yanyan also quickly squatted down, and kept on pinching my philtrum.
The ambulance pulled me to the hospital, and I was quickly pushed onto the operation table. I didn't know why my consciousness was still so clear, but my body couldn't move at all.
A doctor wearing a white coat looked at the meter on the side of the operation table, and quickly said to another person, "This is heart failure caused by excessive drinking, quickly put on the high voltage pacemaker!"
Another person who looked like a nurse quickly used the high voltage board to press on my chest.
"Increase the voltage!" The doctor in the white coat shouted.
The nurse pressed the high voltage board on my body again.
The doctor in the white coat shook his head, and said to the nurse, "No, give him a cardiac stimulant, ask if the patient has any last words."
Outside the operation room, all of the company's employees were anxiously waiting, that nurse ran out, and shouted to the crowd, "Which one of you is called Zhao Yanyan?"
Zhao Yanyan, who was wearing a wedding dress momentarily blanked, but immediately ran over.
The nurse said to her, "The patient won't make it, he has something to say to you."
I opened my eyes with difficulty, Zhao Yanyan was already waiting in front of me.
"Yanyan, I — — I have something, always — — always wanted to say to you, Yanyan, I — — I love — — you!" After saying the last word, I left this world without any regrets.
In that instant, Zhao Yanyan's face was covered in tears, she used her hand to lightly caress the face of the person on the operation table, no, it should be the face of the corpse, and muttered to herself, "Liu Lei, if you said this to me a moment earlier, I would have definitely married you regardless of everything — —"
