Compared with the lively wedding and the happy crowd, Jiang Xudong, sitting alone in the corner, seemed much lonely.
He came to the wedding on behalf of his father. Of course, it was okay not to come, but his mother urged him all morning just to let him go out and relax, and it would be better to make more friends.
But he also knew very well that he was destined to disappoint his mother.
In this situation, he is more like an outlier.
He was reminded all the time that he was different from normal people.
This pessimistic and depressive mood was only broken when a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Brother Jiang."
Jiang Xudong was stunned, and the hand holding the wheelchair subconsciously tightened a lot.
Ye Ning came to him in the next second.
"Brother Jiang, are you coming to the wedding too? Long time no see, are you okay?"
Ye Ning's smiling face fell into Jiang Xudong's sight, causing his pupils to shrink violently for a moment, then showed a puzzled expression, and then he was shocked.
"Who are you……"
The voice was clearly that of the person in his memory, but this beautiful face was not.
Ye Ning didn't expect that Jiang Xudong wouldn't recognize her, but it had been a long time since they had seen each other. It was no wonder that she weighed 1,670 pounds last time.
The smile became a little brighter.
"I'm Ye Ning."
Jiang Xudong's eyes widened in shock, and even his breathing was unsteady.
He tried hard to connect the Ye Ning in his memory with the ridiculously beautiful girl now.
"Are you really Ye Ning?"
The voice can't lie, and this kind feeling will never change. Only Ye Ning can make him feel like this.
Ye Ning nodded, "It's true."
Jiang Xudong used the greatest restraint in his life to prevent himself from losing his composure.
"You've become beautiful."
He felt that his voice was trembling a little, and he was nervously paying attention to whether Ye Ning heard something strange about him?
"I just lost weight." Ye Ning has heard too many such compliments, so even if Jiang Xudong said it, she didn't feel too much, and easily emphasized that this is actually her original self.
Jiang Xudong was sure that Ye Ning didn't notice his nervousness, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
His swaying eyes fell on Ye Ning, and there was an unspeakable surprise in his eyes.
Of course he knew that Ye Ning had been losing weight. From the first time he met her by the river, he felt that Ye Ning would definitely succeed.
Because she has determination and endurance that ordinary people cannot match.
Sure enough, she had completely transformed and found the most perfect version of herself.
Now Ye Ning is no longer the fat girl who has low self-esteem and can only sit in the corner of the stage.
The current Ye Ning even made him afraid to look directly at her, as if he would lose heart if he took one more look at her.
Ye Ning looked at Jiang Xudong who was suddenly stunned and asked in confusion: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xudong smiled bitterly and lowered his eyes to look at his legs that could not move.
Although he has had too many times when he felt inferior, this moment has reached the extreme.
"Brother Jiang, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Jiang Xudong's pale cheeks made Ye Ning worried about his physical condition.
But soon Jiang Xudong looked at her again with a smile.
"I'm fine, I'm just happy for you. You finally got what you wanted."
Ye Ning immediately heard the decadence in his words, thinking that when they first met by the river, he was already in a bad state, and now he was probably stimulated by her successful weight loss.
"Brother Jiang, you can do it too."
"Me?" Jiang Xudong's heart felt nothing but bitterness.
Ye Ning nodded vigorously, "Yes, as long as you work hard to live, there will always be hope."
She didn't know Jiang Xudong's specific situation, and she just wanted to stop him from having any thoughts of committing suicide.
Jiang Xudong murmured in despair: "Work hard to live... In fact, I have given up long ago."
Ye Ning's brows knitted together, noticing what he said about "giving up".
"Don't give up. When you can't hold on, you can look at me. A year ago, I was still a fat man that everyone hated and was afraid of avoiding. At that time, I had no future and no hope. But I I didn’t give up, I chose to change. Although the road was very difficult, I persisted.”
In order to comfort Jiang Xudong, she calmly mentioned her past self.
People are like this, there always needs to be a comparison to make it easier to accept.
Sure enough, Jiang Xudong's expression kept changing, and even his eyes shook violently, as if he was trying his best to suppress some emotion.
"I can change my destiny as a woman, why can't you, Brother Jiang?" Ye Ning increased her voice at the end.
He was the only person who never disliked her during her most difficult time.
She hopes he can get back on his feet too.
Ye Ning's words hit Jiang Xudong's heart hard, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably.
"Do I still have a chance?"
Just like a drowning person, Ye Ning is his life-saving straw and his final salvation.
"Yes, as long as you live well and work hard, there will be hope and miracles!"
Ye Ning saw Jiang Xudong's hesitation and uneasiness, squatted directly in front of him, and held his hand tightly.
There is no love between man and woman, just encouragement between friends, just wanting to give him the strength to continue.
Jiang Xudong's eyes were filled with Ye Ning's sincere and trusting gaze, and a fire was ignited in his chest.
Yes, in the past few years, he just lived in a muddleheaded way and completely gave up on himself. Not leaving any hope for yourself is just because you are afraid of being disappointed after hope.
It turns out that he is the coward, the coward!
"Yen Ning, thank you, I know what to do."
At this moment, all his fears, inferiority, and uneasiness were all gone, and he finally found his former high-spirited, self-deprecating self.
Ye Ning was shocked when she saw Jiang Xudong like this.
Her comfort actually had an effect.
So this is the real him, right? !
Full of edge.
"Brother Jiang, we all need to be well!"
Although Ye Ning doesn't know what Jiang Xudong's next plan is, she knows that Jiang Xudong will never have extreme ideas anymore.
Jiang Xudong nodded solemnly and gave the first and only promise in his life.
"Okay, we all want to be well!"
Ye Ning was relieved and smiled again.
Jiang Xudong also smiled, confident and determined.
