The next day.
May 1st.
At 4:32 a.m., night still enveloped the entire city of Hangzhou, the lights between buildings were off, and there were few vehicles on the road.
It was as if the whole city was asleep.
However, the entrance to a certain hotel was unusually lively.
Before dawn, a group of people set off under the stars and moon. The festivities at the hotel entrance had already been arranged, with red flowers pinned to each car. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the cars turned around and lined up to head towards Jiang Chao's house.
"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath. You're going to pick up a bride, not to enter a delivery room."
In the wedding car, Chen Lu glanced at Jiang Chao and saw him looking tense. He yawned and muttered a complaint.
Jiang Chao was dressed in a formal suit, sitting upright with his fists clenched and his eyes wide open, seemingly staring at something.
This guy probably never sat this straight in class since he was a child.
It took Jiang Chao a full two seconds to react. "Go to hell! Your dad just got his hair done. Don't force me to do it."
Annoyed by the mockery, he couldn't help but mutter, "Just you wait, I'll see how nervous you are when you get married in the future."
"Just kidding, it's just a wedding, what's there to be nervous about?" Chen Lu found it amusing.
Jiang Chao continued, "What if you get nervous then?"
"I'll wash my hair upside down."
"Did you record it all?" Jiang Chao asked when he saw Li Sinian holding up his phone.
Sitting on the other side, Li Sinian grinned and said, "It's recorded."
Watching Chen Lu aloofly plant a flag on himself in the video, Li Sinian's smile grew brighter and brighter.
Even though today is Jiang Chao's wedding, he's already looking forward to Chen Lu's wedding.
Damn it, I'm going to upload the video to my cloud drive as soon as I get back. Even if I lose my phone, or even if I lose him, I can't lose this video.
Seeing Li Sinian's silly grin, Chen Lu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, then turned his gaze to the window, looking at the faint light on the horizon, that faint, fish-belly white.
snort.
A group of ordinary people.
Master Chen has fought over a thousand battles with frogs of all sizes in the pot, how could he possibly be nervous about getting married?
In less than half an hour, the group arrived at the bride's building.
The cameraman got out of the car first, squatted down next to the car door with a large camera in hand, and waved for the others to get out.
Just as Li Sinian was about to open the door, Chen Lu quickly patted him on the shoulder, "Let Jiang Chao go down first!"
"He's in the middle, how can he get down?" Li Sinian's mind hadn't quite caught up.
Jiang Chao, who was still in a daze, got up and was about to climb into the front passenger seat when he heard this.
"Damn it, why don't you just step over Li Sinian and be done with it!"
Several grown men took turns asking questions, but none of them seemed to be thinking straight. They ended up huddled together in the car, making a ruckus.
Just as the photographer was completely bewildered, Jiang Chao finally stepped out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Chao's expression remained tense, while Chen Lu chatted and laughed with the others as they walked to the door together.
A large red "囍" (double happiness) character was pasted on the door, festive and dazzling. Inside, a group of bridesmaids were nervously blocking the door, waiting for the sound of knocking.
A group of children were gathered around it.
If you don't give me a red envelope later, they won't open the door. This is just the front door; opening the bedroom door costs extra.
Soon, the smiles on the bridesmaids' faces froze, and they looked at each other in confusion.
Strange... The footsteps have stopped for so long, why is no one knocking on the door?
Could it be that they ran away halfway through the wedding procession?
Of course not.
This group of guys is having a strategic meeting right now.
A group of boys huddled around the corner of the stairs like thieves, whispering excitedly.
"Damn it, I just glimpsed the peephole light. Someone's definitely peeking through it." Jiang Chao kept adjusting his collar, looking nervous and completely unlike his usual roguish self.
Chen Lu grinned. "Of course! You think this door is so easy to get through?"
There were the same number of groomsmen as there were bridesmaids.
Lin Miaomiao, who inexplicably "worked overtime," goes without saying. The remaining two girls, Xu Ningle and Zhai Liya, are naturally the other two roommates that Liu Yan called out.
Like Zheng Haoyu, the two of them had rushed over from out of town overnight.
Chen Lu wasn't particularly close to these two, and they didn't usually keep in touch. However, they had been classmates for several years and had interacted quite a bit during that time, so he knew them somewhat.
These three bridesmaids can be summed up as follows: none of them are easy to deal with, and the wedding procession will not be simple.
Jiang Chao suddenly took two deep breaths, patted his clothes, and said, "How about it? I look pretty cool in this outfit, right? Give me your opinion, don't be so sensitive."
"Not bad, looks presentable."
Chen Lu gave him a thumbs up.
"Hahahaha." Several people nearby burst out laughing on the spot.
Jiang Chao was too lazy to deal with this, but he was still unsure. "There isn't a single good person in their entire dorm. I hope they don't come up with some particularly difficult challenge for us later?"
"If I were you, I'd knock them out with red envelopes." Li Sinian tossed a bunch of red envelopes in his hand.
These things are for begging for mercy. Whether you're getting in or begging for mercy because you can't get through a checkpoint, you'll need to use these.
The bridesmaids' task was to get as many red envelopes as possible.
Their goal, naturally, was to save as much money as possible.
"That's no fun. We're here to outwit each other!" Zheng Haoyu tugged at his collar, looking smug. "Besides, we still have Chen Lu. Once that guy gets into a fight, what chance do these bridesmaids have?"
If all the guys in their dorm have a hundred cunning schemes combined, Chen Lu alone would have eighty-odd of them.
