Chapter 1418: Drunk on the River Wind
"Zhuang Shiqi didn't come?" Zhou Lan'er glanced into the car, and her smiling face became a little stiff.
"Qiqi has to get up early in the morning and has a busy day tomorrow, so I didn't call her." Kou Quan explained.
The job of a bride is not an easy one. If you don't get a good rest tonight, your face will be swollen tomorrow. Not only will it be difficult to put on makeup, but it will not look good even if you put on makeup. The key point is that brides are supposed to be beautiful, but if you don't sleep well the night before, you will look listless tomorrow.
"What does it matter? I didn't even sleep the night before my wedding. Now you don't agree to get married? Brother Xiaoquan feels sorry for Qiqi and wants to rest, does that mean others don't need to rest?" Zhou Lan'er snorted coldly.
Lu Jiang stood behind her with a smile. Zhou Lan'er was not ready to get in the car, so Lu Jiang naturally would not get in first.
Kou Quan got out of the car, leaned against the side of the car, glanced at Lu Jiang, and when he saw that Lu Jiang was actually indulging him, he looked away.
"Lan'er, don't make things difficult for me." Kou Quan whispered.
"Lu Jiangke and I were both dragged out of bed by you. As soon as your phone rang, we both answered it. Why, shouldn't Qiqi be present for our last single time?" Zhou Lan'er was relentless. He wanted Zhuang Shiqi to have a good rest, but she refused to let him.
She couldn't do anything else, so she just let her act like a willful tantrum. At most, Zhuang Shiqi would be a little tired tomorrow, but compared to the disaster Zhuang Shiqi brought to the Zhou family, what was that?
Zhou Lan'er only called Seventeen. Kou Quan frowned and moved to stop her, "Lan'er, don't be so willful."
Zhou Lan'er had already dialed the number and was waiting for the other party to respond, looking straight at Kou Quan. Hearing this gentle yet helpless tone again tonight after not seeing him for many years, she almost burst into tears.
Kou Quan met her gaze and finally lowered his hands.
The call went through. Seventeen hadn't slept at all. She couldn't sleep, so she went to bed long ago. Her family also told her to go to bed early so she wouldn't be tired tomorrow, but she lay there for hours with her eyes open. So when Zhou Lan'er called, Seventeen immediately agreed. It was a good time to go out and have some fun. As for tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
If you insist on treating the wedding as a wedding, that would be too serious. Anyway, it's not her first marriage, so there's no need to take it too seriously. It would be better if she relaxes.
Zhou Lan'er hung up the phone, looked at Kou Quan, and raised her phone. "You heard it, she agreed. Drive the car to the door. She's ready to come out."
Kou Quan was helpless, "You guys...get in the car."
Seventeen had already agreed, so he couldn't say no. After getting in the car, Kou Quan called Seventeen with headphones on and asked her if she really wanted to come out. Seventeen was in high spirits, which was beyond Kou Quan's expectations. After hearing her voice, he didn't ask any other questions and hung up the phone to drive seriously.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside the Zhuang family's courtyard, and Seventeen was already waiting at the door.
"Good evening, Brother Lu Jiang, good evening, Sister Lan'er." Seventeen leaned over to greet the people in the car. Kou Quan had already gotten out and opened the door for her. But when Seventeen turned around, she suddenly hugged Kou Quan's neck and kissed him on the cheek, "Good evening, Brother."
Kou Quan's heart instantly felt numb and tingling, and he subconsciously hugged her, "Good evening."
She seems really happy. She is as excited as if she has been injected with chicken blood at this time. I am really worried whether she can sleep at night.
Seventeen got into the car and turned to ask the people behind him, "Where are you going? Want some late-night snacks? The night market by the river is bustling, you should definitely go and have a look. The night view is amazing, and there's no such unique cultural scene in Beijing."
"Okay, let's go to the riverside you mentioned." Zhou Lan'er responded with a smile.
Kou Quan glanced at Shiqi's seat belt and made sure she was fastened before driving, "Sit tight."
Kou Quan had been exhausted these past few days, but even if he were to go to bed at this hour, he probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep because he was so excited. His childhood dream was about to come true, and the closer the wedding got, the more he couldn't believe it, fearing that the dream would end at dawn.
There were very few cars on the road at this time. A main road led directly to the river. The car windows were open, and the cold wind blew in. Kou Quan was explaining in front.
"We left a little late, and many of the night lights were off. If we had left earlier, we could have seen the colorful lights across the river, and the reflections on the water were beautiful. The crisscrossing roads here are all built on bridges. The riverside area is a famous scenic spot in Kyoto. Generally, when you come to Kyoto for vacation, you can't miss eating a late-night snack by the river and watching the night view."
Zhou Lan'er turned outside, looking at the silent city, the vast river, and the still-brightly-lit opposite bank. She felt the cold night wind against her face and listened to Kou Quan's uniquely gentle voice. She felt a wave of emotion. Such a delicate and gentle man, after all, didn't belong to her.
"So this is your hometown." Zhou Lan'er said softly.
The moment he finished speaking, Lu Jiang placed his hand on the back of her hand and gently covered it. Zhou Lan'er turned to look at him and smiled at him.
"Yes, my mother-in-law is also from Kyoto." Kou Quan responded.
Seventeen leaned back in the chair, said nothing, and just glanced at his profile.
The car stopped by the river. This is a park along the river. There is a snack street similar to a night market on the riverside. Two long streets have been built to satisfy the diners. The most common snacks are various barbecue stalls, with all kinds of local and foreign snacks.
Kou Quan found a seat near the guardrail and asked everyone to sit down. "Let's go here. It's relatively quiet tonight. It's very lively here at night on weekends or holidays."
Seventeen sat down and said, "This is my first time here at night. I heard that it's very lively here at night, so I've always wanted to come here."
It was indeed very lively, with quite a few diners even at this late hour. From what Kou Quan had said, there weren't many people here today, so I wondered what the real lively atmosphere would be like.
Kou Quan looked at Seventeen, his eyes filled with warmth. "If you want to come, I'll bring you here more often, but not this late."
"Yeah." Seventeen nodded. "I'll go order some food. Sister Lan'er must try the lianggao here; you can't get it anywhere else. Then, let's have some barbecue. I wonder if eating barbecue tonight will give me pimples tomorrow."
Kou Quan chuckled, "No, drink more water and don't get angry."
Kou Quan tidied up Shiqi's hair which was pressed down by his coat, straightened it gently, and then the two of them walked towards the stall.
Zhou Lan'er sat motionless on the chair. Lu Jiang turned around to look at the two people who were leaving, and gently grabbed Zhou Lan'er's hand.
"Bless them, it's not easy for them either."
"Did I say anything else?" Zhou Lan'er asked softly, "Let's get something to eat."
Lu Jiang stood up and followed his wife. Seventeen and Kou Quan picked out some food and returned to their seats. Seventeen turned to look at Lu Jiang and Zhou Lan'er and said softly, "Sister Lan'er must hate me very much."
