Chapter 149: Return of an Old Friend
The bridesmaids were on full alert, and the groom and the groomsmen were successfully blocked outside the door.
Shi Yu spoke loudly to the person outside the door, "If you want to take the bride away, you must accept the test."
"Okay." The speaker was Xiao Xuanjin. His voice was low and calm, without any hurry.
When Su Mi heard his voice, her face started to feel hot for some reason.
"Each bridesmaid will be given a question. If you pass it, you can take the bride away."
Several groomsmen protested from outside, "Can you go in first and take the test? There will be plenty of red envelopes."
Yun Lingling agreed, "Okay, but we have to see the red envelope first."
It was still the groomsmen's voice, "You guys are blocking it so tightly, there's no way to get the money in."
Shi Yu and Yun Lingling looked at each other and decided to open the door a crack.
Then they underestimated the boy's strength. Just as they opened the door a little bit, someone from outside broke it open.
Several groomsmen rushed in, all of them looking very proud. However, there was no delay, and red envelopes were thrown into the air like rain.
Basically, everyone present received several big, thick red envelopes.
The bridesmaids didn't care about the brutal act they had just done by breaking the door.
But after this lively event of throwing money, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Because the figures of several groomsmen seemed to be frozen.
Xiao Xuanjin was the last one to come in, and he saw Su Mi sitting upright on the bed at a glance.
She was wearing an extravagant wedding gown made of fiery red gold brocade, her hair was tied up in a bun, and her phoenix crown was inlaid with thumb-sized pigeon-blood rubies, which looked luxurious and profound. The hairpin on one side swayed gently, and she looked like a phoenix.
The makeup on her face is delicate and perfect, the base is moist and clear, the eyeshadow colors range from light champagne to brown, layer by layer, and every stroke is just right. The distinct eyelashes tremble slightly, and the delicate sequins at the corners of the eyes are like stars, smart and charming.
She held 27 top-quality Ecuadorian cinnabar roses in her hands and looked at him through the crowd, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.
Xiao Xuanjin was also immersed in this brief illusion, and they looked at each other.
He didn't come back to his senses until He Fei gently patted him on the shoulder.
He Fei said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother Xiao, you are really amazing. This is what it means when an old friend returns, the feelings are hard to let go."
Wu Cheng and Wen Kai were almost unable to stand, looking at Su Mi in her wedding dress with some doubt. Was it really her? Or did Brother Xiao find an identical replacement as a consolation?
Only He Fei was absolutely certain that Brother Xiao looked down upon any substitutes. His heart was too small to accommodate only that one person.
Of course, we don’t need to explore all of these things now. The most important thing right now is to follow the procedures to pick up the bride.
The only relatively calm groomsmen was Meng Yuncheng. He had already met Su Mi in Jiangcheng, so it was not new to him.
What made him uneasy was... Su Tang. Today he finally met her as he wished. Her true face was even more beautiful and holy than he had imagined.
It was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to look away, and felt that he was losing a lot if he missed a glance.
But Su Tang didn't even look at him, as if she didn't know him.
Yes, for a long time, she didn't give him the chance to meet her. Ever since that day when he dressed up as a ghost to meet her, her attitude towards him dropped to freezing point.
Yun Lingling and Shi Yu stood in front of them and said, "Groom, do you still want to take the bride away?"
Xiao Xuanjin retracted his gaze and recalled what the bridesmaids had said when they blocked the door. "What test?"
Yun Lingling took the brunt of the attack, "Then let me test you first."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of white cardboard and faced him.
Xiao Xuanjin saw several lipstick marks on it.
"Groom, guess which of these lip prints belongs to the bride. If you guess correctly, you'll pass this test."
This question is actually quite weird. After all, the prints of the lips are actually pretty much the same, and it's hard to tell the difference.
Xiao Xuanjin saw eight lipstick marks in front of him. They were the same color, even in the same direction, and the pouting movements were the same. They looked extremely similar.
Several groomsmen wanted to help, but they were unable to do so.
Yun Lingling looked at their expressions and felt that they would definitely not be able to guess, so she was ready to continue accepting red envelopes.
But the groom suddenly replied in a firm tone, "There's nothing for her in here."
Yun Lingling was anxious, "Why?"
Even Su Mi was a little surprised. There was indeed no question for her. She didn't even know what questions they had prepared.
Xiao Xuanjin answered loudly, "Of course I recognize her."
Yun Lingling looked back at Su Mi, with an expression of being hit hard, and stepped back with a smile, "Alright, alright, you've passed this level."
The next one is Shi Yu.
She asked directly, "Describe your married life in four words."
This question was asked to them before when they got together as sisters, and Liam's answer was that it was like a lion fighting a rabbit, and the strong bullying the weak.
Now she was also curious about the man's answer.
In fact, this question is not difficult to answer. It can be said to be an easy question. There are so many words that can be used, but Xiao Xuanjin paused for a long time.
Su Mi knew his hesitation and her heart became tense.
Until she heard Xiao Xuanjin's answer, "Day and night."
There is nothing wrong with this answer, so Shi Yu passed.
Su Mi felt a little relieved. This word has a very broad meaning. There are many ways to accompany each other. It can be respectful to each other or it can be romantic. But for them, it is obviously neither of them.
Then Luo Qingci began the third test.
Luo Qingci has a rather aloof personality. For her, who is a person who does not want to get married, marriage is a constraint and even a burden. But since her good sister chooses to get married, she naturally won't say anything.
"My part wasn't hard either. I had to say 'I love you' to the bride in five different languages."
For those of them who have received multilingual education, this is actually very simple.
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at the woman on the bed, walked over calmly and stood in front of her.
The voice is low and pleasant, "I love you."
“Je t’aime.”
“te amo.”
“lch liebe dich.”
"爱してる"
English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese.
He spoke everything except Chinese.
Su Mi listened to his deliberate words and her heart was inevitably wrinkled, but she quickly smoothed it over and comforted herself that this was the nature of this marriage.
Even Luo Qingci, who was standing beside him, asked in confusion, "Why don't you speak Chinese?"
Generally speaking, at such moments, the mother tongue can better express true love.
Xiao Xuanjin raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at Su Mi with his deep brows, taking in her expression just now. "Of course... I'll tell you tonight."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of whistling sounds at the scene.
"Brother Xiao doesn't want us to hear this."
"It's still early, but I'm already thinking about the evening. Brother Xiao, you're really capable."
Xiao Xuanjin acted as if he didn't hear their teasing. He held Su Mi's stiff hand and said, "Be good. We'll talk tonight."
