老王刚把脑子里的工作计划搅得一团乱麻，客厅那头突然传来“咚咚咚”的敲门声。他皱着眉往玄关走，心想这会儿谁还敢来？张妈不是说苏小姐回娘家了么？“咚咚咚。”声音还在响。老王翻了个白眼，伸手开门。

door creaked open, and a bright, almost fluorescent smile greeted him. A woman with bright pink hair clutched a small bouquet, her eyes sparkling behind a pair of oversized sunglasses.

“老王！你在家呢！” she chirped, her voice girlish and bubbly. He blinked, trying to focus past the sunglasses. Who was this woman?

“咯咯咯，就你慢！” the woman laughed, stepping further inside. She took off her sunglasses, revealing bright blue eyes and a surprisingly mischievous grin. “I’m Xiao Shi! Su Xiaoqian’s best friend! And you’re going to be my husband’s best friend now!”

老王’s head spun. Best friend’s best friend? What was this woman talking about? He tried to recall the wedding, the chaotic rush, the woman he’d barely seen. Now, she was suddenly in his house, calling herself his friend?
