Chapter 51: Jealousy 21

Well, she didn’t want to leave her home either.
Getting married was not something she desired!
Liuli retreated to her own room.
She glanced around, feeling even more distressed.
She wouldn’t be sleeping here anymore.
Her room would soon be empty.
How vexing!
If only she could stay with her family.
That way, it wouldn’t matter whether she got married or not.
But now, it felt as if she were being uprooted!
Why couldn’t Mr. Tang be the one marrying into their family?
That way, she wouldn’t have to leave her home.
Just as Liuli wallowed in her distress…
The phone began to ring.
She retrieved her cell phone and saw that it was a call from Lin Jingqi. Surprised, Liuli answered the phone.
“Jingqi…”
They had only parted ways in the afternoon!
“Liuli, you weren’t online! I left you a message, but you never responded!”
“No, I went home to talk with Grandma. What’s the matter?”
“Shi Shi has moved, but she hasn’t left the country yet!”
She informed our classmates that she’s getting married the day after tomorrow.
She’s inviting all of them to her wedding!
“They’re all contemplating whether or not to attend!” Lin Jingqi relayed on the other end of the line.
“The day after tomorrow?” Liuli muttered.
Wasn’t she supposed to marry Mr. Tang on that day?
Was it a popular wedding date?
Why was everyone getting married on the same day?
“Yes, the day after tomorrow! Are you coming along?”
“I’m busy on that day, but if you want to go, I can join you. 1 won’t be attending the wedding,” Liuli awkwardly responded.
“Oh, I was actually thinking of going with you!”
“I really won’t be able to make it on the day after tomorrow. I’m sure there are other students who would like to attend, right? You can all go together!” Liuli suggested.
“We were all considering whether to go, but we haven’t reached a final decision.
And how much money should we spend on gifts?
Some people might not be able to afford it.
Others don’t think it’s worth the trouble.”
“That’s easy. We can all contribute an equal amount.”
“Alright, let’s discuss it further and finalize the plan later.”
Sigh, we’ve just started college, and now our high school classmates are getting married.”
“Jingqi, what if we give Shi Shi some additional gifts?”
We used to have such a close relationship.”
“Sure, what do you suggest?”
“I’m not sure either, just make the decision. I’ll split the cost with you.”
“Okay, I’ll let you know when the time comes,” Lin Jingqi replied.
After confirming with Lin Jingqi, Liuli ended the call.
She sat by the bedside for a while and opened the chat app. There were messages from Lin Jingqi and Shi Shi, but the most active conversations were in the casual chat groups with her high school classmates.
Shi Shi had sent her a message a week ago, asking her to be a bridesmaid.
Liuli clicked her tongue as she read the message and then replied.
“Sorry, Shi Shi, I just read your message.”
“I’m busy on the day after tomorrow, so I won’t be able to be your maid of honor.
“But congratulations!”
“Jingqi and I came to your place today, but the neighbors said you both had moved out.” Liuli repeated the message and sent it.
“Shi Shi’s avatar turned dark. Liuli assumed that she had gone offline.”
Within seconds, Liuli received a voice message from Shi Shi.
“I would have called you, but I lost my phone and haven’t gotten a new SIM card.”
“Without your contact numbers, I wouldn’t have been able to reach you.”
“I miss you too.”
“But it’s been a while since we last connected, and I wasn’t sure how to get in touch with everyone.”
“I’m also getting married, and it feels strange to suddenly reach out to everyone.”
“That’s why it took me so long to reach out.”
“It is fine.”
“We are good friends!”
She wasn’t like the others who were so concerned.
“Shi Shi, aren’t you planning to take the college entrance exam next year?” Liuli replied with a voice message.
In reality, what she wanted to know more was, “Shi Shi, are you really getting married just to go abroad?”
“I haven’t been to school for over a month.”
“Maybe you won’t believe me, but I’ve forgotten how to ask for your help!” Shi Shi said with a smile.
“Alright, all roads lead to the capital, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t take the college entrance exam.”
“My husband helped me apply to a school, and I’ll spend a year there before going to college.”
“Liuli, I was so confident when I first started studying for the exam.”
“But soon, I couldn’t handle it anymore. I had confidence in myself, but the pressure was overwhelming.”
“You can’t imagine how it feels unless you’ve gone through it again.”
“In the end, I gave up!” Shi Shi said with disappointment.
“You can try preparing again!” Liuli consoled her.
“There’s no other choice.”
“When making a decision, people always have to give up something.”
“When I was retaking the exam, and even now, I sometimes think, what if 1 had taken the college entrance exam…” “If I weren’t sick, my life would be completely different..”
