Chapter 136

The dream that remains in my mind has not yet dissipated.

The feeling of powerlessness and panic when the world collapsed at the end of the dream is still clear.

Han Ting took a deep breath and slowed down for a while, then raised his hands to cover his eyes.

After a while, I heard noisy voices in the yard outside. My five senses gradually returned to the real world. The sense of reality in the dream dissipated, and I slowly calmed down.

After calming down, he got up, went to the window, pulled open the curtains and looked out. He saw that they were all relatives of the Tang family.

Today is the day of early summer wedding, so naturally these people are here to attend the wedding banquet.

They stayed here for a while.

When the time is about right, we will go to the restaurant.

Han Ting lowered the curtains, returned to the bed and sat down, then leaned against the headboard in a daze.

Although the sense of reality that he had when he was in the dream had disappeared, he still remembered the scenes in the dream, the lively and festive scene in the yard, and the smiles on everyone's face.

Especially the smile on Chuxia’s face.

He took a deep breath.

Pick up the pillow and press it against your face.

My eyes could no longer see the light, but the smiling face in my dream became clearer and clearer.

Because there were many people outside and the lively and festive atmosphere belonged to Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan, Han Ting did not go out.

He stayed in the room all the time, and occasionally heard someone outside saying congratulations.

After listening to the noise for who knows how long, someone suddenly entered the east room of his house, walked to the door of his room, opened it and walked in.

He did not lift his face from the pillow.

You can tell without even looking that the only people coming in are Chaozi and Guogai.

Then, as expected, Chaozi's voice was heard: "Auntie said you were in the house, so we came to see you."

Han Ting smiled and said, "What's so good about me? I'm not the protagonist today."

Pot Cover said, "As long as you want to be the protagonist, you can stand up and be the protagonist at any time, but look at what you look like now? You are just a coward! Last time, even Su Yun went to the reunion of educated youths. She dressed up beautifully to let everyone know how well she is doing now. Only you are still shrinking your head and lying here like mud!"

Han Ting lay there without any reaction.

Chaozi reached out and pulled the lid of the pot to tell him to stop talking.

I really don’t want to talk about Guo Gai anymore.

He was originally sitting on the edge of the table like Chaozi, but now he stood up and said, "You can continue to sleep. It's almost time to go to the restaurant. We'll leave first."

After saying this, Guo Gai turned and left.

Chaozi also greeted Han Ting, "Brother Ting, we'll leave first. You should have a good rest."

After saying that, he went out as well, and went out of the yard to Ximanlou with Guogai.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we found that the other educated youth classmates had already arrived.

Of course, not all the other seven people came. Su Yun did not come. Only Hu Yang, Gu Yuzhu and the other six people came.

When everyone met, they naturally exchanged greetings and joked. Since they had met before, this time they were a little more cordial.

It seems that Han Ting did not appear with Chaozi Guogai again.

Gu Yuzhu smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Han Ting? He's the one who travels the most among the twelve of us. He didn't come to the last party, and he won't come to Chuxia's wedding this time either?"

It can't be because of a divorce that you don't even dare to go out and see people, right?

It doesn’t matter whether they come or not, they all want to come to join in the celebration.

Han Ting is different from them. Isn’t Chuxia his sister who grew up in the same courtyard with him?

Although we had a falling out when we were in the countryside, how long ago was that?

Besides, it’s not a big deal. No one has really harmed anyone. It’s just a conflict due to a disagreement. After so many years, it should have become a thing of the past.

Chaozi heard this and said, "He is busy."

Gu Yuzhu smiled again and said, "Then he must be busy making a lot of money."

Chaozi and Guogai didn't want to talk to them much about Han Ting, so they changed the subject after a few pleasantries.

Not long after he was taken there, Li Qiao suddenly said, "Hey, here comes the busy man."

Upon hearing this, the others turned around and saw Han Ting.

They didn't expect him to come over by himself. Chaozi and Guogai were the first to light up. They waved at him and called out to him, "Brother Ting, over here!"

Han Ting originally wanted to sit at their neighbors' table.

But when he saw Chaozi and Guogai's table, he changed direction and came over here.

Everyone present was an old acquaintance, so they had to greet each other and exchange pleasantries.

Gu Yuzhu smiled and said, "I told you, early summer is getting married, how could you not come?"

Han Ting smiled and said, "I didn't expect you all to come."

Gu Yuzhu said quickly, "We agreed to come at our last gathering. Everyone went except you. Secretary Liu and Captain Liang kept talking about you."

Han Ting smiled again, "I was delayed because of something else."

It's just a casual greeting, I won't go into more details.

Everyone is here today mainly to attend the wedding banquet, so of course the topics we will talk about next will be festive.

***

Courtyard No. 8, Tianxian Temple.

Most of the relatives and friends who were attending the banquet had already gone to the restaurant, but the yard was still very lively.

Neighbors in the alley, both adults and children, came to share the joy and get some wedding candy.

The alley was also crowded with neighbors who came to watch the fun.

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan came out of the courtyard gate and got into the wedding car with a smile on their faces while being surrounded by everyone.

Make way for the wedding car to drive out of the alley.

The neighbors next door were all talking and sighing:

"When Chuxia is dressed like this, she looks prettier than the female stars in the paintings."

"Xiao Lin is also very energetic. This is what they call a talented man and a beautiful woman."

"There's no better match than these two in our alley. They're both good-looking, both graduated from prestigious universities, and now they're both government officials."

"So Haikuan and Xuemei are blessed."

"These two have nothing to worry about in their lives."

…

Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan were sitting in the car and could faintly hear the discussions of people outside.

Lin Xiaohan held Chu Xia's hand in his palm, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

In each other's eyes, it was like eating a big jar of honey.

***

Ximanlou banquet hall.

Everyone was still sitting at their tables, laughing and chatting.

When we were chatting animatedly, we heard a child shouting, "Here they come."

Then everyone stood up one by one, with smiles on their faces, ready to applaud.

The master of ceremonies at Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan's wedding was Lin Xiaohan's leader. He brought Lin Xiaohan and Chu Xia in from outside the door. The two people who were well prepared inside the door decisively sprinkled the flower petals in their hands on Lin Xiaohan and Chu Xia's heads, and then applause of blessings rang out in the banquet hall.

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan walked into the banquet room amid a rain of petals and everyone's applause.

Everyone was smiling in this atmosphere. Gu Yuzhu clapped and said to Li Qiao next to her, "This is so romantic. These two are so good-looking!"

Li Qiao echoed: "It is indeed pleasing to the eyes. Just looking at it makes people feel good."

The scene was beautiful, and everyone else was immersed in the romance and joy, smiling and applauding.

Han Ting stood between Chaozi and Guogai, originally expressionless. However, when he saw Chuxia walk in wearing her wedding dress, the scene he dreamt last night suddenly flashed through his mind uncontrollably.

The Chuxia wearing a wedding dress in front of him and the Chuxia wearing a wedding dress in his dream flashed before his eyes.

He felt dizzy and quickly closed his eyes and lowered his head to relax for a while.

After taking a break, he looked towards Chuxia again, and more images flashed before his eyes uncontrollably.

Then there was a sudden sharp pain in his head. He leaned on the edge of the table and raised his hand to press his forehead.

Chaozi noticed that he was in a different state and asked him hurriedly, "What's wrong, Brother Ting?"

Han Ting was unable to answer. He sat down at the table with his back hunched, pressing his forehead with both hands. Veins bulged on the back of his hands, the sides of his forehead and neck, and sweat soon seeped out of his forehead.

Seeing that he was in such a bad state, Guo Gai naturally asked with concern: "Brother Ting, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Chaozi and Guogai ask this, the others at the table naturally looked over.

Seeing that Han Ting seemed to be enduring severe pain, the others expressed their concern and asked him what happened.

Han Ting didn't want to attract attention and become the center of attention in this situation.

He squeezed out a "it's okay" from between his teeth, and after Lin Xiaohan and Chu Xia sat down at the main table, he quickly got up and left without attracting the attention of the people at other tables.

Chaozi and Guogai were worried about him, so they followed him out.

Han Ting went outside, leaned against the wall and pressed his forehead to relax for a while.

Chaozi and Guogai still asked him: "What happened to you suddenly?"

The bulging veins on Han Ting's forehead had not yet subsided, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable pain. "I'm fine, I just have a headache. You guys go back, I'll go to the hospital by myself."

After saying that, he put his hand down and forced himself to move forward.

Seeing Chaozi and Guogai were about to catch up, he turned back suddenly, his eyes dyed red, and said with veins all over his forehead and cold sweat: "Don't bother me!"

Then he said in a slow voice, "I'm fine."

Chaozi and Guogai didn't follow him, and Han Ting forced himself to go downstairs.

Chaozi and Guogai turned to look at each other, hesitated for a moment, and went back to the banquet room.

As soon as Chaozi and Guogai came back and sat down, the others asked, "What's going on?"

Chaozi said, "I have a sudden headache. I'll be fine if I go to the hospital."

The others just said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was still festive and lively.

Everyone ignored this little episode and continued to immerse themselves in this atmosphere.

In such an atmosphere, feel the sweetness and joy of the newlyweds, accept their toasts, and then say all the festive blessings you can remember in one breath.

***

The wedding banquet is over.

The guests left the banquet hall one by one.

Those who had things to do went about their work, while those who had nothing to do but were happy to do so went to play in the new house some more.

Wang Xiangqian said goodbye to the four boys and left.

Chaozi and Guogai were thinking about Han Ting, so how could they go to Lin Xiaohan's bridal chamber to join in the fun? Naturally, they did not go with her. After the banquet, they just said goodbye and left.

Gu Yuzhu, Li Qiao and Chen Sisi wanted to join in the fun and did not leave.

They went to the bridal chamber with the others who stayed there.

When we got to the new house, it was just like a party. We talked and laughed and ate some melon seeds, candied fruits, candies and chocolates.

Among the topics of jokes, there was inevitably envy for the house that Lin Xiaohan's company had allocated.

After all, it is better to be a college student. The country has allocated everything to you, including jobs and houses. You really don’t have to worry about anything.

For a house like this, they can only take a look at it.

After talking about the house, I have to talk about the wedding photos.

Taking photos dressed like this looks much better than wearing your own clothes.

After having enough fun, let’s step aside and take a rest.

Gu Yuzhu sighed again: "In just four or five years, the gap between people is too big."

Li Qiao continued, "The gap between people is huge."

***

night.

After washing up, go into the room.

Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan lay down on the bed together.

They both turned to look at each other.

Chu Xia asked, "Are you tired?"

Lin Xiaohan said: "Not tired."

Chu Xia leaned over, smiled, looked at him and said, "Dear Comrade Xiao Lin, I want to solemnly congratulate you. From today on, both in terms of law and customs, you are a man with a wife and a family."

Lin Xiaohan couldn't help but laugh.

He looked at Chu Xia and continued, "Dear Comrade Xiao Xia, I want to solemnly thank you here. Thank you for allowing me to become a man with a wife and a family."

Chuxia completely lost control and let the smile bloom completely on her face.

She moved her body again, went straight into Lin Xiaohan's arms, and put her arms around his waist.

Lin Xiaohan also reached out and hugged her, wrapping her completely in his arms.
