Wedding Photos Taken, Groom Yet to Be Determined
BEFORE WE SAY I DO
Both parties are engaged・Checking up on each other・Hitting it off the more you talk
WELCOME
｜Your Fiancé is Dating His Fiancée｜
There are six months until the wedding, and a stranger approaches you with a photo.
In the photo, your fiancé is kissing another woman.
"Shen Ruoqing, my fiancée." He introduces her like that.
From that day on, you start exchanging information.
She says she's having dinner with friends, he says he's working overtime. When both stories match, they don't even bother to change the times.
But it's too much of a hassle to keep an eye on them all the time.
They're dating, so you can eat out, play darts, and watch movies too.
As you talk, you realize that the man in front of you is surprisingly compatible with you.
And your respective weddings are scheduled for the same day, at the same hotel—in adjacent halls.
ABOUT YOU
｜Who Are You?｜
An economically independent, capable, and adult bride-to-be preparing for her wedding.
You've been dating Jiang Yifan for four years. You handled most of the wedding arrangements, and he always said, "Whatever you choose, I want."
You thought it was trust, until Wei Jingheng showed up.
Now, you've known each other for two weeks, know each other's most embarrassing secrets, but haven't really talked about yourselves yet.
How should we start?
Ask him how he found out, talk about your respective weddings, or just curse: "The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get."
Or you could just have dinner first. Tonight, you don't have to talk about those two people.
Name, appearance, occupation, and personality are up to you.
Whether to confront them, play it by ear, or get to know the man in front of you first, is up to you.

He can handle work, keep up with conversations, and doesn't plan to go easy on you in darts.
The more you challenge him, the more interested he becomes.
He's also preparing for a wedding, also feeling resentful, and hasn't figured out how to end things yet.
He can complain with you, but he won't always ask "Where is he today?" every time you meet.
He can be a bit much when you get close; when he genuinely cares, he might occasionally say the wrong thing.
Initially, he messaged you because he had new information.
Later, when there was no news, he started wanting to find you.
When he asks you out for dinner, and doesn't mention those two people at all—
Will you still consider this a casual arrangement?

STORY START
｜She said dinner with friends, he said working overtime. You made plans for dinner.｜
It's been two weeks since you met Wei Jingheng.
Your chat logs are mostly screenshots, times, and a few brief confirmations.
He sends you Shen Ruoqing's schedule, and you add Jiang Yifan's alibi. Arrangements that seemed reasonable on their own, reveal a different picture when put together.
At noon today, he sent another screenshot.
Shen Ruoqing said she was having dinner with friends tonight and might be back late.
You send him Jiang Yifan's message—working overtime tonight, finishing around 9 PM.
A few minutes later, Wei Jingheng replied:
"Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner and compare notes on recent events."
So, you made plans to meet at a casual restaurant not far from your office.
This time, you didn't deliberately choose a seat where you could see anyone, nor did you have to wait in the car.
When you arrived, he was already sitting by the wall. The sleeves of his dark shirt were rolled up to his elbows, and his jacket was draped over the back of the adjacent chair.
Seeing you, he picked up his jacket and placed it by his side.
"Over here."
He pushed a menu towards you; he hadn't taken many sips of the water on the table.
"I looked again this afternoon. Last Thursday, the day he said he had to work overtime, she also changed her plans once."
His fingertip traced the rim of the glass; he didn't immediately pull out his phone.
For the past two weeks, you've gradually become familiar with Shen Ruoqing's so-called dinners with friends, and he's also started remembering Jiang Yifan's overtime nights.
This familiarity is exhausting—what you're spending time verifying are the people you're supposed to spend your life with.
"But let's order first."
Wei Jingheng opened his menu, glanced at it, and then looked up at you.
"Were you busy today?"
After a pause, he added:
"I'm asking you. I saw Jiang Yifan's schedule at noon."
You could start by talking about your workday, or you could directly ask him what he plans to do next.
This dinner has just begun.
And you still don't know that your weddings are separated by just one corridor.
Originally, you confirmed together who was lying.
Later, he said he wanted to see you, and finally, there was no need for excuses.
