5.Who is the most beautiful person

The next morning, the sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting dappled light and shadows on the floor of the hotel room. Sun Tai slowly woke up, feeling his head still a bit groggy as the aftereffects of last night's heavy drinking hadn't completely dissipated. He rubbed his bleary eyes and, in a daze, saw Ye Fan sitting by the bedside with a solemn expression on his face.

Ye Fan pursed his lips tightly, his brows knitted into a deep frown, and there was an unyielding determination in his eyes, as if he wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. Sun Tai scratched his head and asked in a confused tone, "Who? What's going on?" His tone was as if he was still trapped in a muddled dream.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly turned his head, a glimmer of eagerness instantly lighting up in his eyes. He spoke rapidly, "The one in the cheongsam at yesterday's wedding! The most beautiful one!" As he spoke, his hands unconsciously gestured in the air, as if trying to visualize the appearance of that woman.

When Sun Tai heard this, his face was filled with a look of bewilderment. He shook his head vigorously like a rattle-drum and kept denying, "There's no such person!" As he spoke, he tried hard to recall the scene of yesterday's wedding, but indeed, there was no image of such a stunning woman in a cheongsam as Ye Fan had described in his mind.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Fan suddenly felt an unnamed anger surge in his heart. His entire face turned deep red, and his emotions were almost out of control. He shouted loudly, 'Are you blind? She's even more beautiful than a celebrity! She's only wearing light makeup!' His voice echoed in the room, making Sun Tai's ears a bit loud.

Sun Tai was at a loss because of Ye Fan's sudden outburst of anger. His face was still filled with confusion. He shook his head again and said with a hint of helplessness and sincerity in his tone, "If she was really that beautiful, I would definitely have an impression. But there really wasn't a cheongsam beauty prettier than a celebrity!" As he spoke, he carefully observed Ye Fan's expression, trying to find a clue from his face.

Ye Fan's face became even more gloomy, like the sky before a storm, covered with thick dark clouds. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, pulling out a sneer filled with mockery. He said, "Fine, I met a female ghost yesterday, right?" There was both dissatisfaction with Sun Tai's denial and a hint of doubt about the authenticity of his own memory in his voice.

Sun Tai opened his mouth, but found that his throat seemed to be choked by something. He didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only stand there awkwardly, his eyes dodging Ye Fan's piercing gaze.

Ye Fan stared intently at Sun Tai, his gaze as if he wanted to see through him. Sun Tai felt uncomfortable being stared at. After hesitating for a while, he stammered, "Er... What's her name? I'll go and ask around." As he spoke, he silently calculated in his heart where to start to inquire about the news of this mysterious woman.

When Ye Fan heard this, his already irritable mood instantly became even worse. His brows knitted even tighter, and his tone was full of impatience, "I don't know!" He really couldn't figure out why he hadn't even asked the woman's name clearly, which suddenly increased the difficulty of finding her.

When Sun Tai heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face. His eyes widened like copper bells, and his mouth opened slightly in surprise, "Ah?? Then how can we find her?" In his opinion, without the crucial clue of the name, it was almost as difficult as ascending to the sky to find someone he had only met once in the vast sea of people.

Ye Fan was now completely overwhelmed by his irritable emotions and didn't want to waste any more words with Sun Tai. He stood up, and in a flash, he disappeared! His movement was as swift as a gust of wind, as if he had never stayed in this room at all.

Sun Tai looked at the empty doorway and thought to himself, "Leaving right after waking up? Without even a second of hesitation! Heartless! He really lives up to his reputation as a ruthless guy who destroys his own paintings!" He couldn't help but think of Ye Fan's usual maverick way of doing things, and this action was indeed in line with his consistent style.

Sun Tai always felt that there was something indescribably strange about this matter. There were clouds of doubt in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fan, was the wedding you attended yesterday my great-uncle's golden wedding anniversary?" As he spoke, he carefully observed the direction Ye Fan had left, trying to find some answers to Ye Fan's strange behavior from this question.

Ye Fan had already walked into the corridor. When he heard Sun Tai's words, his steps suddenly stopped, and he was frozen in place as if he had been cast a body immobilization spell. He slowly turned his head, a look of confusion appearing on his face, and muttered to himself, "Golden wedding anniversary?" His tone was as if he was very unfamiliar with the term "golden wedding anniversary," or as if he was trying hard to recall something important.

Seeing that Ye Fan had reacted, Sun Tai quickly nodded vigorously and emphasized, "Yes!" He was full of anticipation that Ye Fan could give a reasonable explanation to solve the mystery in his heart.

Ye Fan stood there, silent for a moment, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "How many weddings were held in this hotel at the same time yesterday?" As he spoke, his eyes became more and more determined, as if he had made a certain decision at this moment.

Sun Tai thought for a while and replied, "Five." As he spoke, he secretly estimated in his heart the probability of finding that mysterious woman among the guests of these five weddings and felt that the hope was very slim.

When Ye Fan heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky. He stared fixedly at Sun Tai and firmly uttered a single word, "Find!" His tone was beyond doubt, carrying a powerful aura, as if he was declaring to the whole world his determination to find that woman.

When Sun Tai heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he almost knelt down in front of Ye Fan. With a woeful expression, he said, "Brother Fan! This isn't our territory! How do you expect me to find her? And she's a guest at someone else's wedding!" In his opinion, in this strange city, without any effective clues, it was simply an impossible task to find someone among so many wedding guests.

Ye Fan slightly narrowed his eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He asked again, "Your great-uncle?" There was a hint of expectation for Sun Tai's personal connections in his tone.

With a mournful face, Sun Tai helplessly explained, "How many generations apart are we? He's a distant relative whom I haven't seen for more than a decade!" As he spoke, he spread his hands, and the expression on his face was very helpless, meaning that he couldn't get any useful help from this so-called great-uncle at all.

Ye Fan gritted his teeth, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a bit of annoyance in his tone, "Don't you have any personal connections at all?" He knew very well that in this situation, personal connections might be the only hope of finding that woman.

Sun Tai let out a helpless sigh and said, "Brother Fan! This is my first time in Xizi City. How far is it from Xiangjiang?" As he spoke, he secretly blamed himself in his heart for not being able to help Ye Fan at this crucial moment.

After hearing Sun Tai's words, Ye Fan thought there was indeed some truth to it. He felt a wave of irritability in his heart, and his mind was in a complete mess. He didn't want to say a word and closed his eyes irritably. At this moment, the image of that woman from last night involuntarily appeared in his mind. Her every frown, every smile, and every movement were like scenes from a movie, constantly replaying in his mind. Especially her few sweet and melodious laughs and her pair of eyes as stunning as the bright stars in the night sky, as if they had a magical power, deeply engraved in his heart, making it impossible for him to forget.

Sun Tai secretly observed Ye Fan's expression. Seeing that he had a worried look on his face, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Fan, I always thought you weren't interested in women before." As he spoke, he carefully observed Ye Fan's reaction, for fear that he might say something wrong and make Ye Fan unhappy again.

When Ye Fan heard Sun Tai's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes sparkled with a sharp light, like two unsheathed swords, shooting straight at Sun Tai.

Sun Tai was so frightened by Ye Fan's sudden gaze that he trembled all over. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "That's not what I meant. I mean... A Jiangnan woman? The gentle and demure type? No way..." As he spoke, he imagined the image of the woman described by Ye Fan in his mind and really couldn't associate her with the Jiangnan women in his impression.

Ye Fan furrowed his brows, and his tone was filled with a bit of anger and disdain. He said, "She's nothing like a Jiangnan woman!" In his opinion, although that woman had a gentle and beautiful appearance like a Jiangnan woman, her personality and way of doing things were completely different from the traditional gentle and demure Jiangnan women.

When Sun Tai heard Ye Fan's words, he opened his mouth but found that he didn't know how to respond at all. He thought to himself, "Judging from this description and tone... Something's not right! Could it be that the other person owes money and refuses to pay it back?" He really couldn't figure out what kind of reason it was that made Ye Fan so persistent about this woman he had only met once.

Sun Tai thought for a while and then tentatively said, "A living person wouldn't just disappear into thin air. How about calling the police?" As he spoke, he observed Ye Fan's expression, secretly hoping that Ye Fan would accept this suggestion.

When Ye Fan heard Sun Tai's words, the anger in his heart flared up again. He thought to himself, "Call the police? This is just nonsense! If we call the police, this matter might become even more complicated, and it might even cause unnecessary trouble." The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he almost burst out in a fit of rage, but in the end, he managed to hold back his anger and didn't let it out.
