Xia Xi had no choice but to clarify what happened in the past: "Lu Mingji is my boss, yes, but he's also a very good friend of mine. On the day of our class reunion, we played the game of truth or dare, and I lied and asked him to pretend to be my boyfriend."
Zhao Lei figured it all out. She had felt strange that night. Xu Yanfeng and Xia Xi were flirting in the private room, but Lu Mingji, their boyfriend, didn't get angry. She thought he was tolerant, but it turned out to be a lie.
"Your child is..." Zhao Lei hesitated, too embarrassed to ask.
"It's Xu Yanfeng's." Xia Xi had anticipated this before she arrived, and since she had brought Xu Yanfeng with her, she hadn't considered hiding anything. "We did break up a while ago. We hadn't been in touch for several years. We bumped into each other by chance last year, and we reconciled recently."
She omitted the twists and turns and gave a simple summary.
Zhao Lei was startled. She felt her veil was in the way and lifted it up. At the moment, nothing was more important than eating melons: "No, sister, are you running around with the baby?"
Xia Xi: “…”
After chatting for a while, the auspicious time for picking up the bride was approaching. Xia Xi helped Zhao Lei put down her veil and reminded her jokingly: "Bride, don't forget that today is your big day."
Several bridesmaids pulled Xia Xi over to block the door, asked the groom a few questions symbolically, and after receiving a stack of red envelopes, they mercifully let them in.
But that wasn't the end. Wang Qiuyu took out a piece of paper and said, "Next is a quick question and answer game. If you answer incorrectly or take more than three seconds to answer, you'll be punished."
The groom is 1.8 meters tall, with fair skin. He wears half-frame glasses and has waxed and stylishly combed hair. He wears a white shirt and a black suit with a bow tie at his collar and a red flower on his chest, looking very energetic.
"Tell me what the punishment is first." He smiled brightly, staring at Zhao Lei on the bed without blinking.
Wu Qinglu brought a tray filled with candies in various packaging: "Every time you lose, pick a candy and eat it on the spot."
The groomsmen looked at each other and shouted, "No way, is it that simple?"
Soon, they discovered things weren't quite as simple as they thought. The candies all had strange flavors. The ones labeled sour tasted like something hitting you, your cheeks aching, and the sourness made you jump. The ones labeled spicy turned your face red the moment you tasted it. There were also bitter and poop-flavored candies... No idea where they were bought from.
The groomsmen were tortured so much that they announced: The groom will have to bear the consequences from now on, they won’t be with him anymore!
Everyone laughed and joked for a while, and when it came to finding wedding shoes, Xia Xi quietly moved to Zhao Lei's side, bent down and whispered, "I want some candy."
"Huh?" Zhao Lei tilted her head, blinked, and smiled. She said proudly, "Well, I thought you were going to tell me something big. Nothing else, just plenty of wedding candy. Eat as much as you want and take as much as you want."
"No." Xia Xi said, "I want the weird-tasting candy that I just played a prank on."
Zhao Lei: “?”
Although she didn't understand, Zhao Lei still gave her a handful. Xia Xi stuffed it into her small bag, looking down and laughing, thinking about finding a chance to test it on Xu Yanfeng, wondering how he would react. He was always calm and composed.
