"Xinyi, when you went to pick me up at the station this morning, the Cheng family sent someone to deliver a bridal dress. Come and take a look. Do you like it?" Cuihua pulled her into the inner room. The box on the table was beautifully packaged.
"Sister, I've been wondering what the bridal dress inside looks like. Go and put it on and show us." Zheng Xinyue was even more excited than her. When she opened the gift box, the bright red dress caught her eye. She thought her second sister was already good-looking, and she would look beautiful in this dress.
"Xinyue, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while. I'll try it on for you after dinner." Zheng Xinyi said seriously.
Zheng Xinyue cast her gaze towards Cuihua. Cuihua winked at her, then turned and smiled at Zheng Xinyi: "My girl, then you should have a good rest. I will call you when the meal is ready."
Zheng Xinyi nodded slightly with a tired look on her face. After sending Zheng Xinyue and Cuihua away, Zheng Xinyi sat on a chair, looking at the bright red bridal dress. She felt indescribable in her heart, not knowing whether it was excitement or sadness, or perhaps she felt more afraid.
Lying on the kang, he stared blankly at the paper-made Peng with a dull gaze. His mind was blank. He sighed deeply and closed his eyes quietly. Perhaps he was really too tired and soon fell into a sweet dream.
"We're getting married, we're getting married." Zheng Xinyi put on her wedding dress and waited quietly for Cheng Haoyu to pick her up amid the excited calls of the Zheng family.
Everything was ready, but Cheng Haoyang suddenly came to the Zheng family with a sad face. Everyone in the Zheng family was dumbfounded, and a bad premonition came to their minds. Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense.
Zheng Shaochun still held onto his pipe, which he always kept in his hand. "The auspicious time is almost here, why hasn't your brother come to pick up the bride yet?"
"My brother... I'm afraid he can't come." Cheng Haoyang choked.
Zheng Shaochun's eyes widened: "Kid, what happened?"
"Last night, the army suddenly issued an emergency mission, and my brother rushed back to the army overnight. He said that he would not be late for picking up the bride today. But just now his comrades came to report that my brother died gloriously while completing this mission." Cheng Haoyang frowned, and big pearls burst out of his eyes.
Zheng Xinyi, who was sitting in the inner room waiting to be picked up by her bride, suddenly took off the veil on her head, sat still like a statue, tears of despair kept falling.
"Sister." Zheng Xinyue held her own cold hand and called out comfortingly.
Zheng Xinyi looked up at the sky with a bitter smile on her lips. God had already punished her once in her previous life, so why did he punish her in the same way in this life? She cast a sharp gaze on the scissors on the table, raised the scissors high under Zheng Xinyue's horrified gaze, and stabbed them into her heart.
"Ah." Zheng Xinyi screamed and sat up suddenly, covered in cold sweat, with traces of tears on the pillow.
Zheng Xinwei and Zheng Xinyue rushed in after hearing the shouting: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Zheng Xinyi looked at them with tears on her face, and reached out to touch her frightened face. Only then did she realize that everything was a dream, but this dream was so real that it made her truly feel the heart-wrenching pain.
I am a woman living in the 21st century. I am at the forefront of the times and have my own dreams. How can I succumb to my fate so easily?
Thinking of this, she quickly put on her shoes and socks, pushed the door open and left.
