CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 349: MY EYES ONLY SEEK YOU

—

Evening

The beachside bonfire blazed cheerfully, with the surrounding noise unusually lively.

The sound of clinking glasses and conversations accompanied by the sea breeze made everyone feel comfortable.

Jiang Mian and Su Lixing sat by the seaside, drinking. It had been a long time since they had been so unrestrained.

One was a woman who had just finished receiving the Movie Queen award; the other, a woman who had just wrapped up a series of fashion designs.

"Has your mom been in touch with my parents?"

Su Lixing took a sip of her drink, "Are you talking about the wedding?"

"Of course, they’re checking for auspicious dates every day. But Mianmian, I’m honestly not ready to get married yet. I can’t put my finger on it, it’s not that I don’t love your brother, I’m just afraid that the mess after the wedding won’t let me be in control of my own life."

Jiang Mian downed a big gulp of her drink, deep in thought. It seemed like she had always been doing what she wanted after getting married, whether it was anything she desired, she felt even more at ease than before her marriage.

"My brother won’t do that, he will let you do as you wish."

Jiang Mian knew that Su Lixing had been somewhat resistant to relationships because her parents had been busy with work since her childhood, and she had always been independent.

If it hadn’t been for her growing up with Jiang Mian, she probably would have been a stranger to her.

As for her own older brother, the man who unexpectedly disrupted her rhythm, he had indeed caused her to change a lot, from being averse to marriage to slowly being willing to accept it.

Jiang Mian’s lips curved slightly, "You, you’ve already made a big change, I know, and my brother knows. Getting married, you know, is a headstrong thing; the more you think about it, the more anxious you become."

Su Lixing clicked her tongue lightly, her gaze sizing Jiang Mian up and down, "Are you still the Jiang Xiaomian I know? Getting a Movie Queen award, and now you talk differently."

"Hey~ I’m just speaking my honest, heartfelt truth."

The bonfire was thriving, and both of their gazes shifted towards the group of people chatting not far away.

Fu Sichen held a drink in his hand carelessly, his eyes slightly downcast, with the dark shadow of the light casting multiple reflections over him, giving off a sense of abstinence and cool detachment.

She couldn’t help but take out her phone to snap a photo of him.

Upon clicking the camera button, Jiang Mian checked the photo and unexpectedly saw that his gaze was directed towards her.

His thin lips curved into a faint, indulgent, and alluring smile.

Jiang Mian put down her phone, just in time to fall into Fu Sichen’s gaze.

"Old Fu, what are you looking at? Go on, go on, I’m done. They’re all cheaters; they need you to handle them."

"You call me Old Fu, they are cheats, but you haven’t seen a hack yet."

The smile on Fu Sichen’s lips didn’t diminish a bit as he was dragged away by a bunch of people, and Jiang Mian withdrew her gaze.

Beneath the moonlight, amidst the noisy crowd, my gaze only seeks you.

Jiang Mian and Su Lixing had quite a bit to drink and were soon claimed by their respective families.

"Fu Sichen..."

Jiang Mian’s fair cheeks were tinged with red, her beautiful eyes slightly blurred, and she staggered a few steps.

Fu Sichen stepped forward and swept Jiang Mian into his arms. "I’m here."

Jiang Mian lifted her eyes and placed her hand on Fu Sichen’s lips, "Shh—don’t talk, listen to me."

"Okay, I’ll listen, I’ll carry you back."

Jiang Mian was now swaying so much that she couldn’t walk at all, walking circles in place.

Fu Sichen easily lifted Jiang Mian onto his back, her heavy head resting straight on his shoulder, softly humming, "The stars in the sky hang low, shining brightly together..."

"The buzzing of the insects, the flying of the insects..."

"That’s not right!"

Jiang Mian suddenly lifted her head, paused for two seconds, then burst out laughing, "It should be husband carry, husband carry, I’m thinking of you."
