Chapter 21 Episode 2006, Li Li, you lost

Li Li and Pei Shangxuan's wedding day coincided with the opening of the World Cup in Germany. The groom, who was the main planner of the wedding, deliberately chose this special day.He originally planned to pick the day when Argentina would make his debut, that is, June 11th, but Li Li firmly disagreed.She plausibly said: "Fu Wushuang is here. If our happiness prevents Argentina from winning the championship, I will have a bad conscience." Pei Shangxuan habitually raised his hand to hold her head. Her hair had grown back after chemotherapy, and he was quite satisfied with the fine and soft texture.He deliberately widened his eyes and made a fuss: "Li Li, I didn't expect you to be so superstitious! Anyway, your Argentina will definitely lose to my Germany, and I don't mind marrying you on June 10."

"Argentina won't lose to Germany again!" She gave him a hard look, turned and walked away.Li Li still remembered the bet she made with Pei Shangxuan last year - in the next life, I will fall in love with you first!Still, she hopes Argentina will win the Hercules Cup.In this life, she has obtained the happiness she wanted, and now she only hopes to see Argentina win the gold cup in her lifetime. The doctor said that her chemotherapy is very effective, and if there is no recurrence within five years, there is great hope for a cure.She survived the painful chemotherapy because Pei Shangxuan and Liu Qianren did not give up. These two men gave her 100% support both financially and spiritually for her to finally let go of the past.

Li Li did some calculations in her mind, and because of her physical condition, which could not be exhausted or endured hardships, it would be very difficult to pay off the treatment expenses in a short period of time.While thanking Liu Qianren, she expressed her apology that it might take several years before she could return the money to him. The latter glanced up and down her whole body with his usual contemptuous eyes, and said coldly: "Then promise him with your body." Bar." Li Li knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and looked at him with embarrassment.She should have thought that he gave up his fame and fortune for her, and he was willing to have no attachment to her, so how could he care about the money she owed him.What he wants is never material things.

Seeing Li Li bit her lip again, Liu Qianren sighed helplessly, "I take back what I just said." "I'm sorry," both Li Li and Liu Qianren knew—she couldn't give him what he wanted, and the realistic script never loved Happy Satisfaction. "I've never done anything for you, but I've always caused you trouble." He introduced her job, he found Pei Shangxuan, and even saved her life.Li Li wanted to tell Liu Qianren that he didn't owe her any more. Liu Qianren stared at Li Li with focused eyes, as if he wanted to deeply impress her voice and smile into his heart.He looked at her for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said, "You haven't stained my life. I will never repay this love." Her heart is too small, too small to accommodate another person, so why bother? Let her add more trouble?Liu Qianren explained his feelings with a high-sounding reason.

That's it, don't pursue it any further!Li Li told herself. The calendar turned to June tenth.In the early morning, in the opening game of the World Cup in Germany, the hosts defeated Costa Rica 4:2. What was more amazing than the victory was that the German team swept away the decline of the European Cup in 2004 and set off a veritable "youth competition". storm". Pei Shangxuan sat in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast. When Lahm made a long-distance attack and scored a beautiful long shot, he remembered the day when the German team failed in the group stage of the European Cup two years ago. He asked Li Li: "What are you doing?" Do you like me?"

That day she sent him home drunk, and he remembered that erotic dream that left no trace.In the days that followed, Pei Shangxuan tried to ask Li Li for confirmation more than once, but every time the words came to his lips, he swallowed them abruptly, like a Chinese men's football team's finishing touch.He was extremely terrified, if they really did something that shouldn't happen and Li Li defined this incident as "drunken sex", wouldn't it embarrass everyone if he insisted on making it clear that Zi Chou Yinmao? He wasted too much time, fortunately, it's not too late!Pei Shangxuan is grateful to God for giving him another chance to spend the rest of his life with Li Li.

"German team, come on, we must win the championship!" The broadcast camera turned to the coach's bench, and Pei Shangxuan pumped his fists at Klinsmann on the TV screen, muttering words in his mouth.He was not a die-hard fan of the German team, but because of the bet with Li Li, he has the tendency to become a "die-hard fan" now.Li Li was quite disappointed, she was more willing that Pei Shangxuan supported Argentina like herself, but he firmly believed that "if we don't continue to gamble, our past and future will be meaningless." Li Li sometimes thinks that men's self-righteous "romance" is actually quite boring, but she no longer tries to unify the camp, and just "gamble" as he wishes.

Li Li was strictly forbidden to stay up late to watch the football game. The Liu family father and son who lived with her temporarily were entrusted by Pei Shangxuan to be in charge of supervision, and they must drive her back to the bedroom to rest before ten o'clock every night.The opening game of the German team started at zero o'clock, and Li Li had already fallen asleep. Her dream is full of golden sunshine and green grass, which makes people want to lie down on this grass and sleep comfortably.A handsome boy broke into the quiet scene by kicking the ball. His dribbling skills are proficient, and he sometimes provokes the ball to bounce a few times... Li Li looked at the radiant boy in his dream, and felt sad for his future fate—— Pei Shangxuan once represented the school in a football match in the district. Although he failed in the group stage like the "normally performing" Chinese men's football team, his talent was still affirmed by the physical education teacher.If Han Yichen hadn't appeared, perhaps Pei Shangxuan's life would have been different.

When Li Li woke up, she vaguely remembered the scene in the dream. She opened her eyes and looked at the dark ceiling - after dawn, she was about to put on a wedding dress and become Pei Shangxuan's bride.No matter what his life turned out to be, she wanted to occupy a place in his life. Li Li and Pei Shangxuan's wedding was not intended to be announced to the world's banquet guests, they only invited the closest people as witnesses.At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Qianren drove Li Li to the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Pei Shangxuan and his parents had been waiting for a long time.As soon as they got off the car, Pei Shangxuan came to meet them.

"Li Li, this year's German team is great, they will definitely become the champion!" Liu Qianren gave him a supercilious look at the first sentence he blurted out, and Liu Zhixian reminded him with a smile: "Xiao Pei, you didn't pay attention to Li Li Is it very beautiful today, how can you talk about football, it's too bad." Pei Shangxuan rubbed his head before realizing his mistake.Just as he was about to defend himself, Li Li helped him out: "It's no big deal to win a game. Argentina will win tonight." Immediately a crimson. His hand held her hand, as if he used his palm to bring her warmth in the winter of those years.Li Li looked at him with gentle eyes and a smile that revealed full of happiness.

They went to take their wedding photos first, and both of them agreed in advance to wear white shirts. Against the backdrop of the red curtain, they looked younger by several years, as if they were college students who had just walked out of school. After the photos were printed, Li Li held them carefully.She carefully looked at the picture of herself and Pei Shangxuan in the photo, and sure enough, as she expected, the picture of them together lacked aesthetic feeling, and even raised questions: Is such a handsome man "encouraged"?However, Li Li no longer felt bad about this matter, he was the one who made her feel inferior, and he was the one who eliminated her inferiority complex. Pei Shangxuan came over to see the photo of the two of them together. As a divorced man, this is of course not his first wedding photo.He has long forgotten whether he was touched back then, but now his eyes are wet, as if the journey of a migratory bird flying across thousands of mountains and rivers has reached the end, and he has finally returned to the real habitat. "Thank you." Just as Pei Shangxuan opened his mouth, Li Li also said the same three words in a tacit understanding.Both of them froze for a moment, and then laughed heartily at the tacit understanding that existed for a long time. Thank you for always being by my side, thank you for giving me happiness!This is what Pei Shangxuan and Li Li want to tell each other. In these years, including Pei Shangxuan's wedding, Li Li participated in many wedding ceremonies.She herself is not enthusiastic about the similar process, and she has always believed that the day of getting the marriage certificate is the most important day in life, so everyone respects her idea of ​​not having a banquet or a wedding ceremony, and only holds a small one on the day of getting the certificate. friends and family. The clerk of the Civil Affairs Bureau pasted the photos on the two marriage certificates, and when they handed them back, they had become "husband and wife."Li Li's expression seemed to be dreaming, she looked at Pei Shangxuan, her smile was affectionate, but also a little silly. "Fool." Pei Shangxuan lowered his head and kissed her quickly, "Do you still remember that I said that if you are not married by the age of thirty, we will get married?" She remembered everything he said.The young man made a joke unintentionally, but unexpectedly, he spent sixteen years waiting for this sentence to become a reality.Li Li raised her head, looked away from his face, and turned to the family members behind him.Pei Shangxuan's parents couldn't hide their happy faces, and chatted enthusiastically with Liu Zhixian; Liu Qianren stood beside his father, with a patient expression on his face, obviously not interested in the topics among the elders, and had to listen in due to politeness... Li Li It's a bit sad, but it's a pity that her mother is not here, and she has no chance to see herself put on a wedding dress and marry the person she loves the most. That's right, even though Li Li was unwilling to hold the ceremony, Pei Shangxuan insisted on her wearing a wedding dress.He said: "Li Li, putting on a wedding dress is the most beautiful moment in every girl's life, and you deserve it." It sounded like an advertisement, but she was convinced. Pei Shangxuan immediately mobilized everyone he knew to find a suitable venue. He remembered that he once complained to Li Li that his fiancée was so picky about the details of the wedding ceremony that it was almost abnormal. At that time, she said: "If it were me, I only want a For a small gathering, just after getting the certificate, put on the wedding dress and take a group photo with your family and best friends.” After a short pause, she added: “Of course, after the photo shoot, there will be a buffet party to celebrate Not bad." Pei Shangxuan curled his lips, not agreeing with her point of view, he shook his head, speaking from the experience of those who have experienced it: "Li Li, most of the wedding ceremonies are for the elders and friends in the family, how can the elders feel that it is not lively?" It counts as marriage! Just keep your thoughts in your heart, and don't let your future parents-in-law know." He remembered her reaction as a slight smile, disapproving. Pei Shangxuan decided to give Li Li a dream wedding, a small party, surrounded by all the family and friends who love her.With the help of Li Li's friend Wang Xiaofeng, Pei Shangxuan quickly contacted a western-style club willing to host the party.He and Wang Xiaofeng went to see the site together. There are grasslands, gardens, and white houses like palaces. Pei Shangxuan immediately made a decision to reserve the right to use the whole day on June 10th. When Li Li inquired about the rent figure from Wang Xiaofeng, his first reaction was to blame Wang Xiaofeng for not stopping him from spending money indiscriminately.Wang Xiaofeng complained aggrievedly on the phone: "It's not that you don't know your family's temper. He was so tough back then that you wouldn't go with me to Tiananmen Square to watch Hong Kong's return. Today he is as tough as you can be." .” Li Li had nothing to say, and Wang Xiaofeng always pointed at the vitals while seeing blood.What he said next made her feel relieved, and she no longer struggled with Pei Shangxuan's "waste". He said: "Li Li, it's only natural for a man to spend money for his own woman!" "The one from your family", "my own woman", the combination of words Wang Xiaofeng used to define the relationship between Pei Shangxuan and Li Li made her happy. Li Li put down the phone and couldn't help laughing. After so many years, she can finally declare her sovereignty to everyone legitimately: Pei Shangxuan and Li Li are together! So on June 10, 2006, when Li Li saw the wedding venue that Pei Shangxuan had prepared for her for the first time, she was surprised and speechless.The entire lawn was dotted with countless colorful balloons, the archway filled with white roses fluttered, and the stairs leading to the white palace were sprinkled with red rose petals, which was more beautiful than her dream. The selected wedding dress was waiting for its owner upstairs, and it was also a gift that Pei Shangxuan insisted on giving her.Li Li originally planned to rent a wedding dress to take pictures, but when he heard the word "rent", he immediately vetoed it.In order to completely extinguish her thoughts, Pei Shangxuan also wooed Liu's father and son to his side, and suppressed Li Li's feeble opposition with a 3:1 vote. "Next year, the year after, the year after, until you are 100 years old, you can wear this wedding dress to take pictures." Pei Shangxuan's whimsy was so rare that Liu Qianren nodded in agreement, and Li Li watched them sing and sing together as if they were visiting from outside the world. Gradually understand that they are changing ways to encourage themselves to live hard. This is the bet she owed Pei Shangxuan - to live to be a hundred years old by his side. On June 10, 2006, Li Li, who is about to turn 30 years old, put on a white wedding dress. Under the skillful hands of the hair stylist and makeup artist, the woman in the full-length mirror can use "beautiful" like never before. Two words to describe.The figure of Li Jun, the bridesmaid, appeared in the mirror. She leaned close to Li Li and sighed, "Li Li, you are so pretty." "On the day you get married, you will be the most beautiful." Li Li smiled sweetly, and her whole body exuded a radiance of happiness.Li Jun's wedding is scheduled for the National Day in the second half of the year. The groom-to-be is in the same company as her, and they saw each other right during the induction training.Her love process went smoothly, and Li Li was happy for her from the bottom of her heart. Opening the door, Liu Qianren stood outside, holding her bouquet in his hand.Li Jun took a step forward wisely, leaving space for them. "I wish you happiness." The flower in his hand was handed to her. "Thank you." She took the bouquet and touched his fingers. He took half a step forward and embraced her in his arms.She didn't move, and let him hold her, his breathing was just beside her ear, slow and heavy. A short minute is like a long life.Liu Qianren let go of Li Li, turned around and walked downstairs. Li Li looked at Liu Qianren's back, she prayed that after today he would let go of himself and himself. She walked downstairs step by step, Liu Zhixian greeted her at the stairs. "Li Li, the wedding dress is so beautiful, and Xiao Pei has a good eye. I believe Meiqing will be happy for you too." Liu Zhixian stretched out his hand to adjust her veil, his expression full of relief and joy. "Thank you... Dad." He had never used this title before, Li Li hesitated a little when he said it, and the volume of the first word was obviously much lighter.Liu Zhixian regards her as her own, Li Li has long wanted to call him "Daddy", but he couldn't find the right time.Today, couldn't have been more appropriate than this time. Li Li didn't understand the weight of these two words.She only saw Liu Zhixian's eyes were red, and he took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes. "Okay, okay, Dad is so happy." Liu Zhixian cleared his throat and swallowed the choked sobs back into his stomach.On such a happy day, we cannot shed tears.He bent his arms and waited for her to reach out, "Let Daddy take you to another person who can take care of you." Li Li took Liu Zhixian's arm and walked step by step to the sunny place outside.Her family and friends are waiting outside, and they have accompanied her from childhood to maturity during the long years.In sixteen years, everyone is changing. She went outside and stepped up the stairs covered with rose petals.The man she loved was in a white dress, waiting for her at the foot of the staircase, in front of the arch full of white roses. In the sun, he was in high spirits.Many years ago, on June 10th, she said to him: "I fell in love with someone." It seemed vaguely, back to the time when I was young. For sixteen years, Li Li's "liking" for Pei Shangxuan has never changed. June 30th, Friday, Lai Mei Ching's 4th Anniversary Ceremony. The Songhe Cemetery is quiet and solemn during the non-sacrifice-sweeping peak period. When you step here, people can't help but deeply understand the truth that "life is impermanent, and we need to cherish the present". Pei Shangxuan and Li Li walked among the tombstones, and Li Meiqing's tomb was in the middle, so they had to pass by other people's tombs.Li Li kept saying "I'm sorry to bother you" to the owner of the tomb, and walked all the way to her mother's tomb. "Mom, I'll bring Shangxuan to see you." Li Li took out a rag from the plastic bag Pei Shangxuan was carrying, and bent down to wipe his mother's portrait.He was not idle either, took out another rag, went around to wipe the back of the tombstone, and listened to Li Li and his mother's chatter. "The doctor said that if I don't relapse within five years, I should get better." She first reported her illness, and then said: "Besides, I married myself, and you know the groom, Pei Shangxuan." "Hey, Li Li, I protest!" Pei Shangxuan poked his head out from behind the tombstone with a dissatisfied expression. "Your tone is too plain, be more excited, be more excited, you listen to my demonstration." He came back, stood beside Li Li, put his arms around her shoulders, and began to report solemnly: "Hello, Auntie! I am Pei Shangxuan, Yes, that bastard you know, I married Li Li this month, and I am honored to be your son-in-law." "What's the difference between your tone and mine?" Li Li didn't hear the difference at all, squinted at him, and regained the right to speak: "Father was going to visit you with us, but today the school opened for him to retire." At the farewell party, he said that he would definitely come over to talk to you tomorrow." At this point, Li Li turned her head to look at Pei Shangxuan and smiled, and she continued: "Mom, I'm so happy that you chose the right person." Pei Shangxuan approached Li Li, raised his eyebrows, and asked her with a playful smile: "What about me? Did you choose the right person?" She bit her lip and pretended to be distressed, and answered him reluctantly: "I can't help it if I'm wrong, who made me lose a bet to this guy named Pei Shangxuan sixteen years ago." He grabbed Li Li and gave her a long and passionate kiss regardless of whether he was in the cemetery.Li Li was quite scrupulous at first, and pushed Pei Shangxuan hard to remind him to pay attention to the situation, but he was determined and not strong enough, so he let it go. "Tonight, in the quarter-finals between Germany and Argentina, the two teams we support finally meet again after 16 years." When the two balances were equal, he put down his gauntlet: "Don't forget our bet." "Are you really willing to meet me again in the next life?" She was worried, lest he would make his life wish out of sympathy that day.Li Li's worry was not unreasonable, most people heard that a dying person had actually been secretly in love with her for more than ten years, and it was hard not to be moved, not to mention Pei Shangxuan was so loyal.Although there are elements of self-comfort in the past and future lives, once she said it, she would have a sense of life and life, so she shouldn't force her to promise like winning a lottery. "I bet that Germany can beat Argentina in all major competitions, so that the girl named Li Li can't get rid of Pei Shangxuan for life, do you dare to bet?" His expression seemed to be joking, but the affection in his eyes told Li Li that this was Sincerely.He solemnly raised his hand, waiting for her to swear by high five. "Remember the bet," she held out her hand, smiling with tears in her eyes, "I love you forever." With a "snap", the palms joined together, and once again made a lingering promise. In the early morning of July 1, 2006, after 120 minutes of fierce fighting between Germany and Argentina, the final battle ended in a 1:1 draw.In the ensuing penalty shootout, the German team finally eliminated Argentina 4:2 with a total score of 5:3 and entered the semi-finals with goalkeeper Lehmann's excellent save.
