Magic City, lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Oh, oh, it's you! I remember now. You're getting married today too? Congratulations, congratulations!"
As the saying goes, you don't raise your hand against someone who's smiling.
Seeing He Yicheng treating him with such respect, Lin Xuan didn't keep a cold face and instead replied with a smile.
And this kind attitude made He Yicheng feel flattered, grinning from ear to ear.
You have to know......
Compared to when the two of them had first met not long ago, Lin Xuan was now even more at the height of his fame.
According to the grapevine, the Su family would soon be promoted to a first-tier family, and by then Lin Xuan's worth would skyrocket; he was a top-tier connection you absolutely couldn't miss out on.
These days, whenever He Yicheng bragged to his buddies about how he and Brother Xuan had joined forces against the enemy and suppressed Tiger Ye until he bowed his head and admitted defeat, he would always reap a pile of envious, jealous, admiring looks and feel proud to share in the glory!!!
He Yicheng's face was glowing red, and his gaze slid to the peerlessly beautiful girl in the wheelchair; a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes.
So, this is that… number one comatose beauty of Magic City.....
Sure enough, her looks are absolutely world-shaking; a woman like this is only worthy of being owned by Brother Xuan.
Brother Xuan is just awesome, truly worthy of being my idol—he even managed to wake a vegetable with a 'bring-good-luck marriage,' practically the greatest miracle in history.....
The title 'Magic City's Most Devoted Man' is really well-deserved!!!!
Obviously, He Yicheng had specially gone to read up on his idol's deeds and worshipped him to no end.
"Brother Xuan."
At this moment, the girl in the pink dress walked over and softly greeted Lin Xuan.
"Brother Xuan, this is my girlfriend, Kong Lian. You saw her that day too—we're basically childhood sweethearts."
"Our parents on both sides have been urging us, so we figured no time like the present and came to get the certificate today."
"Didn't expect to just happen to run into you and sister-in-law also coming to get your license, Brother Xuan. Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Xuan and sister-in-law are just too perfect a match! At a single glance, you're simply a match made in heaven!"
"Here, I wish Brother Xuan and sister-in-law happiness and fulfillment, perfect harmony like zithers and lutes, and an early precious child....."
"........"
He Yicheng racked his brains, wishing he could pour out every blessing phrase he'd ever learned in his life.
Hearing him casually call her 'sister-in-law,' and even toss out blessings like 'have a child soon'......
Su Qingge's expression almost cracked on the spot.
But since He Yicheng meant well, she couldn't really say anything; she could only do her best to maintain her cool, aloof image.
"You kid, you're actually quite talented! Not bad, not bad!"
As for Lin Xuan, he gave a thumbs-up and expressed his approval of He Yicheng's store of phrases.
That made the corners of a certain rich second-gen's mouth practically curl up to the sky.
After a few words of small talk, He Yicheng didn't dare bother them further and tactfully went back to his original seat.
And just as they were chatting and patiently queuing for their license......
Outside the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau, at the crosswalk directly opposite, under the traffic light.
A thin figure stood there like a guard at attention.
And this person… was Su Fan.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled across his face, adding a warmth and softness that this aloof face usually didn't have.
Su Fan just stood quietly under the red light, his gaze passing through the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau and locking firmly onto the cold, slender figure in the rest area, sitting in a wheelchair......
That was his younger sister, Su Qingge.
The siblings had been deeply attached since childhood, like the roots of an ancient tree, twisted and tangled, impossible to sever.
They had spent countless days of laughter and tears together; every setback, every success, was tightly intertwined.
Now, watching with his own eyes as his sister was about to sign her name on the marriage registration form.
Su Fan's heart was a mixture of all five flavors.
He knew it was a commitment to marriage and also the starting point of a new chapter in his sister's life.
Su Fan felt happy for her, but it was mixed with an indescribable sense of loss, and the reluctance in his heart was as fine and continuous as drizzle.
He couldn't help recalling their childhood—little Qingge always followed behind him, calling out 'Big brother, big brother' in a tender, childish voice.
In those days, he often disliked how clingy she was, hoped she would hurry and grow up, so she could face the storms of life on her own and he could finally get rid of this little tail.
However, now that his sister really had grown up and was about to start a new life, Su Fan's heart was filled with reluctance instead.
He suddenly wished time could turn back and take him back to those carefree days when he could laugh and play happily with his sister.
Unfortunately, once time has passed, it never returns.......
Looking at the curve of happiness at the corner of his sister's lips in the Civil Affairs Bureau lobby, and the way her beautiful eyes occasionally showed her longing for the future.
Su Fan's expression became somewhat dazed.
Scenes from the past flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, playing on fast-forward.
In the end.
Su Fan came to terms with it; one corner of his mouth quirked up in a smile of blessing.
That arc was like sunlight in a clear sky, warm and blazing.
Although his heart was full of reluctance, Su Fan knew.......
This was an important moment in his sister's life; he should feel happy for her and send her his blessings.
"Sis, you've grown up. You're about to start a new life."
"Your brother is happy for you, really. I hope you can be happy, and I hope your future will be filled with sunshine."
"......"
Su Fan murmured to himself; his voice trembled slightly, a bit hoarse and choked, his eyes stinging.
For a moment, he almost couldn't control his emotions.
But remembering his master's earnest teachings, and not wanting to let his tears fall, Su Fan directly took an action that left passersby stunned......
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a.
At the busy intersection, Su Fan ignored the bewildered, shocked looks of the people around him, planted his hands on the ground, and went into a handstand under the traffic light.
"......."
"Damn! This bro is insane! This is the first time I've seen such a perfectly standard handstand!"
"What's he doing? |?) Performance art? Young people just love flashy stuff."
"Take pics, take pics! Hurry up and film it, I'm posting this to Moments! Gotta hit Douyin trending!"
"Hmm… this perv, he's not trying to peek up girls' skirts, is he? From that angle, if a girl's wearing a super short skirt, wouldn't it be all laid out in front of him?!"
"For real or what! These days, even being a creep has such high requirements? →→ You even have to know how to do a handstand~~~~"
"......"
Su Fan's bizarre behavior instantly drew countless onlookers to stop, watch, and take pictures.
But Su Fan still acted as he pleased, treating the ants around him as if they were nothing.
Even though the world was upside down, in his eyes there were still only his family......
