Chapter 53
The wedding began, and Yan Qing watched quietly. The screen on the stage began to play every detail of the couple's love, from games to reality, from shyness to proposal, every step they took to get to where they are now.
Zhou Mingshu is a sentimental person. He looks carefree on weekdays, but he is easily moved by some subtle details. He sighed: "Wow, they can still love each other for so many years. I envy you so much."
What she envied was the determination of the two people walking side by side, the courage to fight against unfriendly voices together, and the loyalty that had never changed in their feelings even after working together until now.
The relatives and friends next to her poured her a glass of juice and held her hand. Although they didn't say anything, she could understand what she meant.
The background music at the scene is also the bride's sect music in the game.
The host was talking about the couple's love journey on the stage, but the groom, who was required to appear on the stage in previous weddings, was nowhere to be seen.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the host said in a loud voice: "This is also one of the most special weddings I have ever hosted. Everyone, please turn your eyes to the door of happiness."
Everyone's eyes moved over and saw the door slowly open under the guidance of music. What came into view was a bride in a white veil with a beautiful smile, and a groom in a suit and tie.
Someone was whispering below: "Why are they all coming in from outside? What's this?"
Others retorted: "Those who play games are smarter. We who are married haven't thought about these things. I think it's great. Marriage is about two people breaking away from two big families."
Seeing this scene, Zhou Mingshu couldn't bear it anymore.
Even Ming Xu looked a little panicked, Yan Qing quickly hugged her and comforted her softly.
"It's okay. I'm just so happy to meet these friends and witness the most important things in their lives. I cried with joy." After saying this, Zhou Mingshu smiled while wiping his tears.
Everyone present understood, but no one said anything.
Yan Qing: "So many years have passed in a flash."
Yang Mingzhou is a destroyer of the atmosphere: "If you two don't leave."
Before he could finish his words, another male relative next to him covered his mouth with paper. After tearing off the paper from his mouth, Yang Mingzhou questioned him: "Do you think I'm dirty?"
Male relative: "I haven't found a partner yet."
"What does it have to do with you finding a partner?"
"I want purity."
Yan Qing came out to interrupt the argument between the two: "Be careful that the photographer takes a picture of you and sends it to others."
Mingxu added: "This kind of video is more likely to go viral than a wedding video."
The newlyweds slowly walked onto the stage, [Pink Lightning] greeted them, and their friends and family in the game waved their arms, everyone was genuinely happy.
After the process was completed, the newlyweds began to exchange rings and speak.
Their rings were recommended by Zhou Mingshu. At that time, she and Fan Zhuoyi were in the honeymoon period of love. Like everyone else, she fantasized about getting married in the future. At night, she secretly looked at many wedding rings and wedding dresses under the quilt.
Zhou Mingshu was very proud: "I helped pick out their rings, and her husband was very generous, spending over 200,000 yuan."
"Wow, let's go check it out later. I haven't seen it yet."
"Okay."
After saying that, Zhou Mingshu looked at Mingxu and said, "Brother Meiqiu, if you need it, I can send you the various wedding ring brands I have sorted out."
Yan Qing was about to speak when he heard Ming Xu say, "Okay."
She blushed instantly and glared at Zhou Mingshu. The instigator was proud of it and laughed secretly with his relatives and friends.
"You followed her in her foolish ways."
Mingxu leaned close to her ear and said, "Everything needs to be prepared."
-
Yan Qing ate little in the evening and put down his chopsticks before he had eaten much, while the newlyweds were still toasting in front of him.
"Not eating anymore?" Ming Xu whispered to her.
The two of them were always whispering to each other, which made the other people at the table very unhappy.
"What are you two talking about? Is there anything we can't hear?"
Yang Mingzhou, unusually, did not contradict the two of them: "What do you know when you don't have a girlfriend?"
Relatives and friends were not to be outdone: "Boss, do you have it?"
"You kid!"
After a while, [Pink Lightning] came over and said, "Thank you all for coming to our wedding. It's so touching."
Her husband is not good at speaking, but he was always smiling and toasting with everyone. When his wife was talking to relatives and friends, he stared at his wife with a smile and said, "Thank you all for taking care of us all these years. Let's continue to have fun together in the future."
[Pink Lightning]: Don’t leave tonight, we have arranged the next game, let’s play together.
"OK."
"I definitely won't leave."
After the wedding, the relatives and friends of the newlyweds gathered together to wait for them.
The leader of the groom's gaming gang kept looking in Yang Mingzhou's direction. Zhou Mingshu observed for a long time and was sure that he was looking at Yang Mingzhou. He whispered to Yan Qing, "Do you know their leader? He kept staring at Yang Mingzhou."
Ming Xu looked over and called Yang Mingzhou over. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the gang leader from the opposite side walking towards him with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Yang Mingzhou was a straightforward person and asked directly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Now our two gangs can be considered a marriage, right? We'll be a family from now on. I apologize to you for all the grudges and quarrels in the past. I hope we can move on and be a family from now on."
Past grudges?
Yan Qing glanced at Ming Xu, and Ming Xu also shook his head.
Zhou Mingshu pulled the two aside and said, "When you two were away, that gang started a gang war with us over a pet. The battle lasted for half a month."
"So Lightning still has connections with the people in their gang?"
Friends and family nearby joined the group chat: "Lightning didn't know the man was from a rival gang. He first met Lightning using his fake account, and later confessed that he wanted to break up, but ultimately didn't. I don't know how the gang leader found out."
Listening to the two gang leaders still talking, they continued to discuss this matter.
Yan Qing: "This could be written into a novel. My husband was my mortal enemy at first."
Zhou Mingshu and Ming Xu both widened their eyes. This man really never forgets his career at any time.
The relative continued, "Anyway, I don't know what the two promised each other afterwards, but the gang war was dropped. No one in our gang plays with anyone in their gang, except for these two."
"Like a proton." Yan Qing commented sharply.
While they were still talking, Yang Mingzhou came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Let's go, let's go." [Pink Lightning] called to everyone at the door.
Mingxu's car could still carry two more people, so when it was full, they followed the navigation and left.
Arriving at the singing place, Yan Qing sighed: "The last time I came here to sing was when I graduated from college."
The music in the KTV was deafening. She saw Mingxu's mouth move, but she didn't hear any sound.
When I asked him, he seemed not to hear what I said.
People arrived one after another, and the old rules still prevailed. Although they were married, each family still had to play with their own people.
Newcomers also play with their own guilds.
Someone joked: "Is this really okay for you two?"
[Pink Lightning] doesn't really care: "Distance makes beauty."
Yan Qing sat in the corner. She wasn't very good at singing, but she would occasionally hum a line or two when she was alone. Ming Xu sat beside her, serving tea and water. "And barbecue."
"I'm not eating anymore." She refused to give in. "Don't you want to drink something on such a happy day?"
He held Yan Qing's hand, looked into her eyes, and asked with a smile: "You want me to drink so badly? Wait until next time when there's no one else around."
Hearing this, Yan Qing quickly pulled his hand out, but it was held tightly. "Why are you running?" He glanced at the others and said, "No one is paying attention to us."
"Ming Xu!" Yan Qing's eyes were full of warning, but he shifted his gaze elsewhere the next second.
Ming Xu loosened his grip and leaned on her shoulder: "I feel safe around you."
Yan Qing didn't say anything and let him lean like that while she watched everyone playing around. Zhou Mingshu had just finished singing when he saw the two of them being intimate. He quickly took out his phone to take a picture of the moment and sent it to the parties involved.
Seeing the photo, Yan Qing immediately pushed Ming Xu away.
His eyes were full of confusion: "What's wrong?"
After seeing the photo, although he was disturbed, he still gave the highest praise: "It's a good photo, please send it to me."
The next second, I felt Mingxu's hot breath beside my ear: "Can you send me this one?"
"What?"
"Friends circle."
He mentioned it when they first got together, but it ended up in nothing. Yan Qing was not a person who would hide things, and she wanted to protect this relationship well, so she just nodded.
The two continued to lean against each other, Ming Xu murmured: "Dreams come true."
The next second, he explained, "It's always felt like a dream. Someone I might have passed by in real life just showed up again. I've been waiting for this day for 607 days."
Yan Qing was stunned and sat up straight, with a look of disbelief in her eyes. She thought that their meeting again was just a coincidence, but now it seems that it may be inevitable.
"you."
Mingxu pulled her and opened his mobile phone. There was a locked memo on it, and the time started from the day he left.
It says above.
She seems very busy today.
A month later.
She disappeared.
Half a year later.
[I'll come back to try the Spanish restaurant you mentioned sometime.]
On the 607th day.
I saw her.
Seeing this, Yan Qing suddenly felt her eyes sore. She took a deep breath, pulled out her hand and held Ming Xu's hand instead: "I'm sorry for what happened back then."
Mingxu's eyes fell on their tightly clasped hands and he interrupted her: "It doesn't matter anymore."
Someone noticed this and held up a microphone for the two to sing a love song together. Everyone started to cheer, with Zhou Mingshu and Yang Mingzhou's voices being the loudest.
Yan Qing was just thinking about how to refuse when he saw Ming Xu take over a microphone. Seeing this, someone wanted to pass the microphone to Yan Qing, but Ming Xu stopped him and said, "Let me sing a song first."
There was only background music in the box.
"This song is dedicated to my girlfriend."
Ming Xu has a very deep voice, but I didn’t expect that he could sing so well.
It was an English song, very familiar. Yan Qing suddenly remembered that the first time he heard it was in Ming Xu's car.
After the song ended, Mingxu returned the microphone to the person who had just sung and signaled them to continue.
"Sing one for hotpot too."
Ming Xu: "Just listen to what I sing."
Everyone looked at each other and continued to make a fuss. Ming Xu said no more, and no one urged Yan Qing to sing. The lively atmosphere in the box continued.
"I've heard this song before in your car. I didn't expect you to sing it so well."
Ming Xu chuckled: "I learned this specially."
"Um?"
"That song in the car was played especially for you."
