Shen Muzhi walked over and took Xiang Zhilan's hand.
Xiang Zhilan looked up when she saw the wedding ring she had put on his finger.
"Let's go." Shen Muzhi tightened his grip on her hand, said only these two words, and led her into the hall.
Xiang Zhilan adjusted her facial expression and followed him into the inner area.
Ni Sitian, arm in arm with Xu Tingchuan, also walked over.
The guests were clearly separated into two groups: those with orange-red tablecloths were Shen Muzhi and his wife, while those with dark purple tablecloths were Xu Tingchuan and his wife. The guests from the overlapping groups sat on beige tablecloths.
The banquet hall was as big as two stadiums and could accommodate nearly two thousand guests, creating a lively atmosphere.
The banquet hall was decorated with flowers and balloons, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
Xu Tingchuan led Ni Sitian to offer toasts, and Ni Qianshan even put on airs as a father-in-law, speaking to Xu Tingchuan earnestly and then chatting with Xu Haicheng.
After Ni Sitian finished offering a toast, she lowered her voice and expressed her concerns to Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan smiled and squeezed her small hand reassuringly; he had already made arrangements.
When Ni Sitian went to the main table again, she found that Ni Qianshan was not there. She looked at Xu Tingchuan curiously.
"He just went to cleanse his stomach," Xu Tingchuan whispered in her ear. He had originally arranged for Ni Ziqi and He Cuiyun to come, but the two of them didn't show up.
"He Cuiyun is probably accompanying Ni Ziqi to see a dermatologist," Ni Sitian told Xu Tingchuan with a low laugh, referring to her trick from this morning.
"You're so smart." Xu Tingchuan praised her by pinching her waist.
Ni Sitian smiled with the corners of her mouth up, and the two whispered intimately to each other.
The wedding ceremony is now halfway through, and everyone is in high spirits. No one cares who is missing; they've all started toasting each other and chatting.
Xiang Zhilan cannot drink any alcohol, and it's best not to drink any beverages either. Shen Muzhi arranged for her to have warm water and a small glass of white wine.
After paying respects to his close relatives and elders, he found a moment to arrange for Xiang Zhilan to sit down and rest.
The banquet lasted until 5 p.m., when some elders and distant relatives gradually left.
After the wedding banquet, there was a party, where only young people of the same generation stayed.
Ni Sitian and Xiang Zhilan changed into their third outfits, wearing matching little dresses they had chosen themselves, and went to the party's small banquet hall.
Without the elders around, the guests naturally let loose and played more freely, teasing the bride and groom even more fiercely. Eating cherries and chocolate bars were the most basic requirements.
Having run out of new ideas, someone suggested that the groom, blindfolded, touch the bride's face to identify her. Regardless of whether he identifies her correctly or not, the groom must kiss her once he gives the answer.
As for whether the groom will have to kneel on a washboard or a keyboard afterward, that's up to the young couple.
With everyone making a ruckus, the two newlywed couples had no choice but to go along with the guests.
Soon someone handed over a blindfold to blindfold the groom.
The girls present who wanted to play lined up in two rows, with Ni Sitian and Xiang Zhilan interspersed among them.
Ni Sitian stood in the middle of the left row, while Xiang Zhilan stood at the very end of the right row.
The two grooms were asked to turn around and then go find the bride.
Ni Sitian watched as Xu Tingchuan walked to the opposite row, her lips slightly pouting. How many times would he have to touch her before he could touch her?
Unexpectedly, he didn't reach out to touch her. He just stood in front of the girl, put his hands behind his back, paused for a second, and then walked away. He passed by each girl one by one, making sure that no one was in this row, and then had someone help him to another row.
As Ni Sitian watched him get closer and closer, she became a little nervous, gripping her skirt tightly.
