Shasha walked over gently, afraid of waking him.
Sitting slumped there, completely motionless, was Wang Chuqin. He had downed a few glasses of red wine and felt his head spinning. Brother Long and the others had gone off to socialize with Chairman Liu, Gaoyuan had taken a seat at the women's team table, and Xue Fei and Liuting seemed to have gone to get acquainted with the bridesmaids. Staggering slightly, he made his way outside; the banquet hall was too stuffy, and he was finding it hard to breathe.
Standing by the porch outside, he glanced back inside and thought how lively it all was. His best brother was getting married today, smiling brightly as he held his wife's hand. Wang Chuqin smiled faintly to himself, thinking: You really are lucky, brother. But why do I have nothing at all? My brother already has a child, while I fell out of love without even getting to hold Shasha's hand. I can't even play table tennis well anymore, and I have no idea what to do next.
