Because everyone here was someone she loved.
Tears blurred her eyes, and she tried her best to sniff and prevent her makeup from smudging. After all, crying was inauspicious. She wanted to smile beautifully and marry him.
When she walked towards him on the flower path, the moment she saw his face under the veil, the moment the priest was about to give his speech, she couldn’t hold back and sniffed.
All her reactions were a beat behind, watching the priest turn to ask the man standing next to her, “Mr. Xie, do you agree to take this lady as your wife? Do you agree to love her unreservedly, be loyal to her through prosperity or adversity, wealth or poverty, health or illness, joy or sorrow, until eternity?”
The tall and handsome man turned slightly to look at her. His gaze was deep, and then he slowly said, “I do.”
“Miss Su, do you agree to marry this gentleman as your husband? Do you agree to love him unreservedly, be loyal to him through prosperity or adversity, wealth or poverty, health or illness, joy or sorrow, until eternity?”
With teary eyes, she looked up at him and softly but firmly said, “I do.”
He lowered his gaze and stared at her for a while, then lifted her wedding veil and leaned down to kiss her. Amidst the sudden applause that sounded like drumbeats, she blushed and tiptoed to kiss him back.
She had once heard a saying: “The most beautiful marriage is probably when I am willing to defy the instincts in human genes, faithfully and unwaveringly love only you in this life and in this world, with you in my eyes and heart.”
In fact, ever since she met him, her world could no longer accommodate anyone else.
During the banquet, it seemed like everyone had a bit too much to drink. After all, they had witnessed the difficulties that led to this relationship, so they knew how precious it was for them to be together. “Damn, it’s these two. They made me believe in love again. Damn it, I was in the same class with them back then, and I was even Su’s former desk mate. You know what, Xingge used to be so indifferent to Su.”
Someone curiously asked, “How was he indifferent?” At this moment, Han Ming happily chimed in, “Maybe you guys don’t know? Back then, this guy’s expression towards Su was seven parts indifference and three parts disdain. He even told me that he wasn’t interested in this kind of thing and had that indifferent look, and I actually believed him, thinking he wanted to reproduce asexually.”
Then, a gossip-loving girl from high school spoke up, “But Su didn’t like the study god before. Didn’t she always say that he was just putting on a good front, but in reality, he was something… like a beast in sheep’s clothing?”
“Hahaha, beast in sheep’s clothing, that doesn’t make sense. How did these two end up together? Did anyone witness the whole process? Give us a breakdown.”
“Desk mate, it’s your turn to explain.”
“Don’t ask me. All I know is that there used to be a long gap between their desks, but one day Xingge suddenly moved his desk a bit to the right. After a few days, I saw that even their chairs had moved closer. It scared the hell out of me. It wasn’t easy for me, sitting in front of the two study gods in high school, and now I had to endure the nauseating smell of their love.”
At this point, Han Ming was quite drunk and didn’t care about bro code. He slurred, “Xingge may seem aloof on the surface, unwilling to lose face, but he secretly came to me for advice on how to pursue a girl. Hahaha, you know what happened, Su always thought it was a socialist bro code. During that time, Xingge was like a girl going through her special time, irritable every day, it was hard to understand, hahaha.”
However, before he could finish his sentence, someone kicked his chair, and he met Xie Xinglin’s cold gaze. He immediately sobered up halfway and quickly added, “Of course, Xingge is still very respectable. After all, how else could he have won her over? Right?”
Wen Mingming poked him twice and leaned in, saying, “You’re really bored, digging up his past like this. You think just because there are many people here, nothing will happen to you? Take a look at what will happen behind the top student. Why is your mouth so foul? You’re just as despicable as Su Yuanzhou.”
On this side, Su Yuanzhou was still unaware that he was being used as a negative example to educate others. He was finding it difficult to accept the fact that his sister was about to get married, and a good catch was about to be taken away.
He placed his hands on Su Qiuge’s shoulders, lowered his head, and said, “If he ever dares to bully you, make you do housework, or if you just don’t like him anymore, come find me. I’ll take care of him directly.”
Seeing him dressed in an extravagant silver suit, looking like he was about to break into street dancing but putting on a serious expression, for some reason she wanted to laugh.
Suppressing her laughter, she nodded, “Got it.” Su Yuanzhou took off the glitters that were stuck in her hair, then squatted down and adjusted her dress, even pretending to blow away some imaginary dust from her high heels. In the eyes of others, he looked like a father about to marry off his daughter.
“No matter what happens in the future, you need to know that your big brother will always be your support. Your big brother has made some progress now and can be your backbone. If you encounter any difficulties or grievances in the future, come to me.”
Finally, Su Qiuge couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. She stepped forward and hugged his neck directly, holding him tightly. She smiled and said, “Brother, thank you.”
Su Yuanzhou was caught off guard by her sudden embrace, and all the lingering bittersweet feelings vanished with this hug. His eyes turned red as he held her tightly.
