Chapter 187 The Groom and the Best Man



Whether it was for Yan Zixiu or Jing Shaoci, these words were filled with endless sadness and bitterness.

Jing Shaoci closed his eyes in pain, no longer able to maintain his pretended calmness and indifference.

He felt as if there was a big hole in his heart, which could not be filled no matter what he did.

He was the one who said the breakup, and he was also the one who said never to see each other again.

But since then, he has never felt any better than Yan Zixiu.

In the past two years, Yan Zixiu has completely established himself as a top-tier figure in the entertainment industry, and his advertising endorsements can be seen everywhere.

Every time he saw the other party in this way, he felt that his internal organs were flowing out and ruined all over the floor, and looking at him for one more second was like being abused.

But he still couldn't help but want to look.

Although they have nothing to do with each other anymore, Jing Shaoci is still worried that Yan Zixiu will be wronged and bullied. Although he knows it won't happen, he is still afraid that he will be tainted by this circle.

He even saw the paparazzi's Reuters photos of Yan Zixiu sitting alone on the set during a break. Such a person who should be so brilliant doesn't even have a bit of fresh breath. It

's obviously the best time of his life, but all he sees is the dead air of the setting sun. Yan Zixiu doesn't even have a struggle, and is just immersed in the lingering pain.

Jing Shaoci can't tell which one is the real appearance of the other person, the extremely powerful national teacher in the previous life, or the little Taoist priest in this life who appears cold on the surface but is extremely soft on the inside.

Each of Yan Zixiu's looks was like a slice of flesh, torturing him repeatedly, making him not know which one to believe.

When he opened his eyes again, Jing Shaoci's eyes were a little red.

He silently wanted to pull Yan Zixiu up, but the other party still stubbornly hugged his legs.

"Wait for the peach."

Jing Shaoci's slender fingers trembled, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.

After a while, he came back with a peach in his hand.

When the peach really fell into Yan Zixiu's arms from above, he did not feel any joy or pleasure.

He held the peach tightly in his hand and buried his face in the gap between his legs and chest.

After an unknown amount of time, he said, "I know that Jing Shaoci will never love me no matter whether this peach falls or not."

Yan Zixiu's voice was hoarse and sad. He could no longer suppress the pain and said with a sob, "I was wrong..."

He never regretted revenge, let alone using the country as a chess piece.

But he also knew that from the moment he made up his mind, his sky would never be bright again.

****

Although he was drunk the night before, Yan Zixiu woke up automatically the next morning because of his biological clock.

There were bursts of bloating and pain in his head, and when he sat up, the bloating and pain were accompanied by dizziness.

Yan Zixiu realized at this time that there was definitely something wrong with the two cups of "tea" that Xie Qinglan gave him.

But the other party is an elder, and today is the wedding day of Gu Shiyi and Li Fengzhi, so he would never go and ask for an accusation.

Yan Zixiu endured the discomfort and sat cross-legged in meditation, but after a while, his whole body trembled violently, and a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his lips.

The memories of last night surged up like a backlash, and when he thought of what he had said and done to Jing Shaoci, he could hardly suppress the surging emotions.

Yan Zixiu clasped his palms tightly with his slender fingers, trying his best to suppress the urge to look for someone.

Although the memory became blurred after Jing Shaoci took him back to the room, it was easy to imagine what the other party's attitude would be.

Jing Shaoci already hated him to the extreme, and after last night's entanglement, the other party must be even more contemptuous.

Explaining the reason now would only bring humiliation to himself.

Yan Zixiu closed his eyes hopelessly, a tear quickly slid down his nose and fell on his chest.

****

Yan Zixiu had just changed into the best man's suit when the doorbell rang.

As soon as he opened the door, Xie Wanxin saw his pale face.

"Xiu Xiu, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling sick in the stomach?"

Yan Zixiu recalled that he had forced himself to go see Xiaobao last night, and lowered his head and said, "Mom, I'm sorry for disturbing you and father's rest last night."

Xie Guanxin held his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. There is a special doctor on the ship. I'll take you to see him, okay?"

"No, I just didn't get enough rest after the hangover. I'll be fine after eating something."

Xie Guanxin couldn't persuade him, so she had to call the switchboard and ask the restaurant to send up a stomach-warming soup.

After watching Yan Zixiu finish his breakfast, Xie Guanxin looked at him apologetically and said, "You know my aunt's character, she..."

"Mom, you don't have to explain, I understand."

Xie Guanxin looked at his expression and didn't seem to be sarcastic, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

The wedding was scheduled to officially start at twelve o'clock. In order to marry Li Fengzhi as soon as possible, Gu Shi also arranged a grand ceremony, but the wedding reception was extremely simple.

Yan Zixiu arrived at Li Fengzhi's room at half past ten, and the other party had already finished his hairstyle.

Li Fengzhi was already good-looking, and today he looked even more handsome.

Yan Zixiu smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Really handsome."

Li Fengzhi was a little embarrassed by his compliments, and his ears turned red.

Not long after, dense footsteps were heard outside the door.

Li Fengzhi did not inform any relatives of this wedding, and only invited a few classmates with whom he had a good relationship in college. Most of the others were Xingyi's colleagues.

There were more relatives from Gu's side, at least more than two hundred people came, and it was very lively.

Li Fengzhi only invited Yan Zixiu as best man, while Gu Shiyi had two, one was Jing Shaoci, and the other was Chi Sheng, his childhood friend.

"Wife!" After three knocks on the door, Gu Shiyi's high-pitched voice rang out, "I'm here to marry you."

Li Fengzhi waited in the bedroom as planned by the wedding planner, and only Yan Zixiu stood in front of the door.

Blocking the door is a traditional part of Chinese weddings, and the groom has to coax his partner's relatives and friends to open the door.

Yan Zixiu's request was also very simple, just two words: "Red envelope."

Gu Shiyi very straightforwardly stuffed five red envelopes under the door, each with 100,000 yuan.

"Brother Yan, I'm getting married today, please help me." Gu Shiyi begged for mercy in advance.

Yan Zixiu was unmoved, but said in a cold voice: "Not enough."

Gu Shiyi stuffed a few more red envelopes, this time with 200,000 yuan.

Yan Zixiu had been told in advance that the more red envelopes the groom gave, the more he valued the groom, so after Gu Shiyi emptied all the red envelope cards he had prepared, Yan Zixiu still did not open the door.

At this time, Gu Jianfeng stepped in and directly stuffed a 5 million yuan card, saying: "Xiao Yan, we are all a family in the future, Xiaoyi will definitely treat Fengzhi well."

Hearing the elder speak, Yan Zixiu finally opened the door.

After entering, Gu Shiyi immediately ran to the bedroom with the bouquet, and then knelt on one knee in front of Li Fengzhi.

This time he did not call her his wife, but said solemnly: "Fengzhi, I am here to marry you."

Li Fengzhi took the bouquet from his hand, smiled and held his hand.

Si Yi saw this and said: "Now we just need to find the groom's tie, and we can set off."

The tie was hidden by Yan Zixiu. Gu Shiyi and his friends searched the room for more than ten minutes, but they couldn't find even the shadow of the tie.

"Brother Yan..." Gu Shiyi looked at Yan Zixiu pitifully.

The ceremonial assistant immediately said, "The opening red envelope has been given. If

you want to get the best man to agree, it depends on the groom's ability!" Gu Shiyi heard this and said with a desperate look, "Brother Yan, tell me what you want me to do!"

Yan Zixiu looked at him calmly and said, "Arm wrestle. If you win, I'll tell you where it is."

Gu Shiyi choked up, "I, I'll wrestle with you?"

"Otherwise?" Yan Zixiu asked back.

Gu Shiyi looked at Li Fengzhi with tears in his eyes, but Li Fengzhi just smiled and didn't mean to plead for him.

Yan Zixiu and Gu Shiyi sat at the table prepared in advance. The moment they held hands, Gu Shiyi felt his hand bones start to ache.

Si Yi came over to act as the referee, lowered his right hand and said, "Ready, start--"

With relatives and friends present, Yan Zixiu also gave face to Gu Shi, and pressed down the opponent's wrist five seconds later.

"The groom failed, now it's the best man's turn!" Si Yi announced straightforwardly.

No one dared to confront Jing Shaoci, so only Chi Sheng took the lead.

"Brother Yan, if I have offended you in the past, please forgive me."

Yan Zixiu raised the corner of his lip without comment, and said nothing.

Without a doubt, Chi Sheng lost.

But just when Yan Zixiu pressed down the back of the opponent's hand, he reacted belatedly.

If Chi Sheng lost, then the next person to arm wrestle with him would only be Jing Shaoci.

Yan Zixiu stood up suddenly, looked at Gu Shiyi and said, "No more competition, I'll give you my tie..."

"That won't do."

Li Fengzhi, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Such an important matter must have a winner."

Gu Shiyi also responded immediately, pretending to be expectant and said to Jing Shaoci, "Brother Jing, my happiness depends on you."

The former lovers sat down face to face.

Two very beautiful hands were clasped together, but neither of them tried hard.

As soon as Si Yi announced the start, Yan Zixiu unconsciously gave up and turned his wrist to the right, but he didn't expect that Jing Shaoci would hold his hand tightly as soon as he moved.

Yan Zixiu subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the other party, but he met Jing Shaoci's perfect black eyes.

His heart tightened, and he looked away as if to avoid her.

The two men seemed to be in a state of anxiety, and their clasped hands did not move.

Yan Zixiu did not understand what Jing Shaoci meant. He should have been tired of touching him, but why did he stop him from admitting defeat?

He was unusually anxious inside, but after thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative to attack.

Feeling that he began to exert force, Jing Shaoci's wrist also began to exert force.

Just after Yan Zixiu pressed down a little arc to the left, Jing Shaoci turned over again.

Seeing the other party's relaxed look, Yan Zixiu was inexplicably ignited with a competitive spirit, and began to wrestle his arms seriously.

After a long period of stalemate, he actually lost in the end.

Seeing Yan Zixiu's incredulous look, Jing Shaoci restrained himself and pressed the corners of his lips.

Then Yan Zixiu took out the hidden tie as agreed, and handed it to Gu Shiyi.

Just when everyone's attention returned to the newlyweds, Jing Shaoci secretly turned his sore wrist.

At eleven-thirty, all the guests were seated on time.

Li Fengzhi's parents were not present, and finally entered the venue with Gu Jianfeng's arm around them.

Gu Shiyi, who was standing not far away, was nervous and excited, and even his hands hanging by his side began to tremble.

After Gu Jianfeng handed Li Fengzhi's hand to Gu Shiyi, he said very seriously: "Son, be good to my daughter-in-law."

Gu Shiyi nodded vigorously, as if he was really making a promise to his father-in-law.

After the previous part was finished, the two began to say their wedding vows face to face.

"Feng Zhi, I have really thought about marrying you for a long time." Gu Shiyi's eyes were red, and he choked up as soon as he finished this sentence.

"I originally had a long paragraph to say to you. I wanted to tell you clearly how important you are to me, but I found that it is really difficult to clearly express how much I love you, so in the end I want to say to you, thank you for staying by my side, I really love you."

Gu Shiyi spoke the second half of the words stutteringly, and even cried so hard that he couldn't say several words clearly.

But no one at the scene laughed, and everyone was moved by the feelings between the two.

Li Fengzhi had already shed tears. He looked at Gu Shiyi and said, "I know that every time you make concessions, it is to give me enough sense of security. Because of you, I know for the first time that home is an extremely warm word. Thank you for being my husband, Gu Shiyi, I love you."

After he finished speaking, the two hugged each other tightly, and the guests at the scene also applauded with emotion.

Yan Zixiu watched from the side of the stage, thinking about the little things that had happened between the two of them from the beginning to now, and smiled with relief.

The applause hadn't stopped yet, but Chi Sheng suddenly covered his abdomen, his whole face wrinkled in discomfort.

"Brother Jing, can you help me get the ring box, I'll be right away..."

He couldn't wait to finish his words, and impatiently stuffed the ring box into Jing Shaoci, then bent over and ran away quickly.

"Okay, now please ask the two grooms to exchange rings--"

Chi Sheng hadn't come back yet, and the wedding process couldn't be delayed, so Jing Shaoci had to go on stage in his place.

He and Yan Zixiu, one on the left and one on the right, walked behind Gu Shiyi and Li Fengzhi at the same time.

Gu Shiyi first picked up the ring and put it on Li Fengzhi's ring finger, and then changed to Li Fengzhi.

Yan Zixiu and Jing Shaoci stood facing each other, neither of them looked at each other.

But when Gu Shiyi kissed Li Fengzhi, Jing Shaoci's eyes fell on Yan Zixiu.

More than two years ago, he had thought about their wedding countless times.

At that time, he felt that no matter how grand it was, it was not worthy of Yan Zixiu.

Because his little Taoist priest was really too good.

It was also the first time that Jing Shaoci knew the taste of inferiority. He was afraid that if he was not good enough, he would not be worthy of Yan Zixiu.

He never forgot those days and nights when he imagined the rest of their lives, but for him now, he couldn't think about it even more.

Once, he and Yan Zixiu had a future, but both of them gave up.

And these fragmented pasts have become wounds that are torn repeatedly.

Yan Zixiu did not look at Jing Shaoci, but he knew that he was looking at him.

Because the person you love can be seen clearly even with your peripheral vision.
