Too thin-skinned and easy to lose a wife
Chapter 28
Yang Yi said that she still had a lot of things to do, so she went to the toilet and hurried into the office.
Zhao Lu asked her: "Do you want me to wait for you to get off work together?"
The originally clean and tidy desktop was now full of documents, Yang Yi glanced at it, and sighed: "Forget it, I don't know how long you will be busy, you should go back first."
A workaholic is a workaholic, Zhao Lu feels ashamed, and only advises her: "Then don't be too late, it's not safe to go back too late."
Yang Yi smiled and said softly: "Got it. Thank you for bringing me food today."
"Is it tasty?"
"good to eat."
Zhao Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you like it, I can bring it to you often in the future."
Yang Yi froze for a moment, and said, "That's so embarrassing."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, I often rub against your car." Zhao Lu didn't give her a chance to dismiss it, so he sped up his speech, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you can be busy, bye!"
"Bye-Bye."
When I walked out of the studio, it was a little dark.Zhao Lu hailed a taxi, and just got in when the phone in his bag rang.
The caller ID showed "Chen Xiaomei".
Zhao Lu pressed to answer: "Hello Xiaomei."
Chen Xiaomei: "I sent you a message on WeChat and you ignored me, are you busy?"
From eating to buttoning her underwear, to when she came out, Zhao Lu really didn't look at her phone. She said awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention."
Chen Xiaomei didn't care about it, and said: "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, we will go to make-up and make-up together, please send me the address, and I will send someone to pick you up."
If she hadn't been reminded, Zhao Lu would have almost forgotten that tomorrow is the weekend again.There is such an important thing waiting for her.
"Okay, I'll send you a WeChat message later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lu began to lose his mind.
Ever since she promised to attend Chen Xiaomei's wedding, she has been restless every day.
In fact, she could find many reasons to refuse, but she felt sorry for her conscience.
That's all, let's take one step at a time.
After returning home, Zhao Lu took a shower early, washed his hair, went to the bed, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest early to refresh himself.
But because it was too early, she couldn't fall asleep at all, tossing and turning, she heard footsteps upstairs.
She found her mobile phone in the dark, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Yang Yi: "You won't take your work home to work overtime again, will you? Model worker?"
Yang Yi quickly replied to her: "Not today. I found that I was much more efficient after eating your meal, and I finished my work ahead of schedule."
Is a meal really so powerful?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhao Lu was so beautiful in his heart that he didn't want to sleep when he got excited.
"Am I being nice to you?" This sentence was deleted after typing, deleted and typed again, Zhao Lu struggled for a long time, and finally replaced it with the most unnutritious sentence: "Did you take a bath?"
Yang Yi: "Just finished washing. Are you going to get up early tomorrow to attend your colleague's wedding? Go to bed early, don't stay up late, it won't look good if you get edema."
Even she came to remind her, it seems that it is impossible not to sleep.
Zhao Lu suppressed the trace of annoyance in his heart, and typed slowly with his fingers: "Are you going to sleep now?"
Yang Yi: "Almost."
Zhao Lu: "Okay, okay, listen to you, sleep together. Good night."
"Good night."
According to Chen Xiaomei, she would ask someone to pick her up half an hour earlier.
In order to avoid being late, Zhao Lu set the alarm clock for six o'clock, got up limply, and went into the bathroom to have a look.When it was over, his face was swollen again.
It didn't take long to brush his teeth and wash his face. Zhao Lu washed his hands and rubbed his face in the mirror.Knead on the left and rub on the right.
When I was drowsy, I heard the phone ringing in the bedroom.
Worried about disturbing Yu Ning and Mimi who were next door, she ran into the room lightly and found that it was an unfamiliar number.
Guessing that the person who came to pick her up had already arrived, Zhao Lu hurriedly answered the phone and gave a soft "Hello".
"I'm already outside your community, how are you?"
this sound...
Zhao Lu's consciousness was more than half awake, her lips moved, and she asked tentatively, "Chen Xi?"
"Ah."
"..."
15 minute later.
Zhao Lu was wearing six-centimeter stilettos, which made it difficult to walk, but she deliberately walked quickly because she didn't want the man to wait for her for too long.
A silver Chang'an Mazda was parked at the gate of the community, the windows were tightly closed, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly from the outside.Zhao Lu didn't know if Chen Xi was inside, so she slowed down.
At this moment, the window of the car was lowered, and as soon as she raised her head, she met Chen Xi's eyes in the car.Zhao Lu lowered his eyes and went to the other side to open the door.
There was a women's satchel on the passenger seat, Chen Xi put it on the middle armrest, and smiled at her: "Sit down."
Zhao Lu hesitated for a second before sitting in. When she was wearing the seat belt, she still couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Why are you here to pick me up?"
Chen Xi's tone was relaxed: "Xiaomei is my cousin, as her family, is it strange that I come to pick you up?"
Zhao Lu was not surprised when other people came to pick her up, but she knew that Chen Xi was the bridesmaid.
How can there be a bridesmaid as a driver?
I had doubts in my heart, but Zhao Lu didn't ask any more questions.After fastening her seat belt, she sat quietly, hoping that this would reduce her sense of presence.
The car restarted, Chen Xi held the steering wheel, looked ahead, and said, "The others will be here soon, and it will take a long time to put on makeup. After putting on makeup, we have to rehearse the wedding process."
"Ah."
Chen Xi glanced at her, saw her expressionless face, and changed the subject: "I added you on WeChat yesterday, but you didn't add me."
"..." Zhao Lu simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose yesterday. You have changed so much that I... didn't recognize it for a while."
Zhao Lu twitched the corners of his mouth, with a half-smile, and said jokingly: "It's not your fault. I believe that any junior high school and high school classmates will definitely react the same as you when they see me like this, so you don't have to talk to me about it. Apologize."
Chen Xi looked at her secretly from the rearview mirror, and said, "I'm surprised... no, it should be said to be amazing. Zhao Lu, you are very beautiful now."
Zhao Lu said politely, "Thank you."
You can't be polite, after all we haven't contacted each other for nearly ten years, no matter how good a relationship is, it can't stand the ruthless destruction of time.
Probably Chen Xi also realized this point, the joy of reuniting after a long absence did not arise between them, she could feel Zhao Lu's indifference, and she could also feel the embarrassment of the two being alone.
They both fell silent.
It was daylight, the streets were deserted, and the low air pressure in the car made it hard to breathe.
"Can I open a little window?" Zhao Lu asked her.
"Is it boring?" While speaking, Chen Xi unlocked the car and lowered the window a little.
The hot wind blew in, Zhao Lu exhaled, and said, "I didn't eat breakfast, my chest feels a little nauseous."
Chen Xi's expression changed, he slowed down the speed of the car, and looked at her: "Are you all right?"
Zhao Lu's face was a little pale, but half of the reason was because he didn't have a good rest last night.She shook her head: "It's okay."
Chen Xi saw someone selling breakfast on the street outside, so she parked the car on the side of the road, opened the car door and walked out without saying a word.
"..." Zhao Lu didn't have time to stop it.
Two minutes later, Chen Xi got into the car with a hot breakfast, and happily handed it to her: "There is your favorite glutinous rice, and I asked that aunt to add sausage for you."
The delicious smell of rice immediately filled the entire cabin, and Zhao Lu took it with a complicated mood.
"Thank you."
While fastening her seat belt, Chen Xi said, "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." She nodded her chin on the driver's seat, "That bottle of water hasn't been touched, you can drink it."
Zhao Lu didn't say anything, and looked down at the hot rice ball in his hand, but he couldn't eat it for a long time.
"Is this car your own?"
"No, Xiaomei's brother's. What's the matter?"
"Is it okay to eat in his car?"
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Xi laughed and said, "It's okay, you eat yours."
Zhao Lu still didn't move, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Chen Xi shrugged and said, "I drank two cups of warm water when I got up, and I'm still not hungry."
Zhao Lu stopped talking, opened his mouth and took a bite, it was soft and waxy.
Zhao Lu has not experienced this taste for a long time.
In fact, I really want to tell her that since she knew that glutinous rice is not easy to digest and is not conducive to weight loss, she has never touched this kind of food in the past ten years.
Feelings, like habits, will be slowly diluted with the passage of time, and eventually return to zero.
Thoughts turned and turned, Zhao Lu chose not to say anything.She didn't want to make the atmosphere even drier.
I met him by chance at the shopping mall that day. After returning, Zhao Lu thought about it and felt that his reaction was a little too radical.It has been so long, she should face it calmly.
It's one thing to figure it out, but quite another to do it.
"Are we still friends?" Chen Xi said abruptly.
Zhao Lu was caught off guard by her beating, and his thoughts were pulled back. Looking at her side face, he had the illusion that he had suddenly passed away.
There are some people in the world who seem to be favored by heaven from birth. They have a good family background, good appearance, excellent academic performance, and outstanding abilities in all aspects.No matter how long time passes, no matter what occasion they appear in, they will always be the most dazzling one in the crowd.
Zhao Lu believed from the bottom of his heart that Chen Xi was one of those darlings favored by heaven.
When she was in high school, Chen Xi was the top student in the class. As she grew older, she was still so beautiful. It is said that she was later sent to a well-known university in the United States.
The person is still the same person, but some things have quietly changed.
Zhao Lu looked down at the rice ball in his hand, and said slowly: "Chen Xi, I wrote you an email when I was a sophomore, do you still remember?"
"..."
Zhao Lu raised his head again, looked into her eyes through the rearview mirror, and said with a wry smile, "You may not remember, but I remember very clearly. You saw my email, and you only responded to me with one sentence."
"..."
"'Let's not communicate again', that's what you said to me."
Chen Xi's face turned red and then turned pale, he hesitated: "Zhao Lu, I..."
"Let's stop talking, let's drive properly." Zhao Lu interrupted her expressionlessly, eating glutinous rice balls expressionlessly, as if chewing wax.
……
Zhao Lu has participated in many other people's weddings before, but this is the first time to be a bridesmaid.
The wedding was all contracted by the hotel, and Zhao Lu and Chen Xi were invited to the dressing room.
In the huge dressing room, makeup artists and stylists are all in place.Zhao Lu went to change his dress first, and stood in front of the mirror with a slumped face.
The stylist examined her face and said with a smile, "It's beautiful, don't you think?"
Zhao Lu smiled without saying a word.
The dress was beautiful, with flowing skirts and lovely colours.It's just that her face was still swollen, and the double eyelid of one eye became a single eyelid.
The light above her head hurt her eyes, Zhao Lu was pushed on the chair, and the makeup artist began to apply makeup for them.
The soft brush swirled gently on his face, Zhao Lu closed his eyes, as if he was catching up on sleep.From makeup to styling, she fell asleep five times in total during the hour.
"All right."
When the make-up artist announced that she was done, she even stretched her waist, and accidentally bumped into Chen Xi who was sitting next to her.She hurriedly withdrew her hand and sat upright.
I don't know if she said those words in the car too harshly before, but now Chen Xi looked at her with strange eyes, with a hint of guilt in her eagerness.
Zhao Lu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: I hope I'm not suspicious.
The wedding process was very busy, and when everyone had put on their makeup, the host came and called them to the hall to rehearse.
Zhao Lu drank a bottle of water in the car. She was worried that the rehearsal time would be too long and she would urinate urgently, so she said, "Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom."
She stood up, but she didn't expect that the skirt was stepped on by the makeup artist, and her body was dragged forward.
"Be careful!" Chen Xi, who was sitting next to her, quickly supported her with his hands.
A look of unnaturalness flashed across Zhao Lu's face, he broke free from her hand, said "thank you", opened the door and walked out.
At twelve noon, the wedding ceremony officially began.
After all, Zhao Lu is not a bridesmaid. Like the other three girls, she only needs to accompany her through a cutscene. After standing on the stage for a few minutes, the couple and the best man and bridesmaid stay behind, and the others retreat.
The bridesmaids and best men specially set up a table of meals, after a whole morning of tossing, Zhao Lu was already exhausted.Her ankle was sore, she sat down and beat her legs, looking towards the stage.
The ceremony lasted for nearly half an hour. When the groom knelt down and put on the ring for the bride, Chen Xiaomei was so touched that the pear blossoms were raining.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lu couldn't help but think of the wedding video she saw on Yang Yi's phone, she took out her phone and sent Yang Yi a WeChat message: "Does every married couple have to cry on stage? "
Waited a few minutes and got no reply.Zhao Lu couldn't help wondering, it's already noon, isn't it up yet?
According to Yang Yi's personality, it is also unlikely.
At the end of the wedding, there was thunderous applause at the scene, and Zhao Lu applauded along with everyone.
Next is the time to eat and drink.
The bride and groom toast each table one by one, followed by the groomsmen and bridesmaids.
Zhao Lu glanced around, and unexpectedly met Chen Xi's eyes, she pretended to move away as if nothing had happened.
After tossing and tossing all morning, he was already hungry. Zhao Lu picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, looking down at his phone from time to time.
Still no movement.
The buddies from the best man team went to toast with the groom, Zhao Lu and the others were all women at the table, and they were still not satisfied.Zhao Lu didn't know anyone, so bored, he typed with one hand while eating.
"Did you have meal?"
"What are you doing?"
"Yang Yi?"
"Miss Yang?"
"Yang Yang Yang?"
"Xiangxiang?"
With one hand inconvenient, she typed very slowly, and Yang Yi still didn't reply her even a single word during the process.
Zhao Lu has never felt that she was so bored, she raised her eyelids, glanced at the people at the same table, and found that everyone was eating and didn't notice her.She bowed her head again and continued to do whatever she wanted.
"Beautiful Yang?"
Yang Yi: "???"
Zhao Lu stared at the three question marks that popped up suddenly for a few seconds before realizing that it was Yang Yi who replied to her.
The corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, she put down her chopsticks, held the phone in one hand, and stamped with the other finger: "You are too snobbish, I called you for a long time and didn't respond, and you just showed up after praising you."
The other party is typing...
In the next second, Yang Yi replied, "Sorry, I was cooking noodles just now."
The food in the hotel is fancy but not useful. It looks good and tastes terrible.Zhao Lu put down his chopsticks and didn't want to move anymore, so he might as well chat with Yang Yi.
"Show me the noodles you made."
Yang Yi sent her a picture, clear soup with little water, a few noodles floating in the water, not even green onion.
Zhao Lu was dumbfounded: "You eat this at noon?"
Yang Yi: "No, I just finished eating the fried eggs."
It is barely acceptable to have eggs.
Zhao Lu was afraid of affecting her meal: "We will talk after you finish eating."
Yang Yi sent another message: "Is the wedding boring?"
There are thousands of people sitting in a hall, Zhao Lu searched around but did not find a single acquaintance, she said honestly: "It's boring."
Yang Yi: "Looking at you calling me madly just now, I probably guessed it."
Zhao Lu's face turned hot, and he deliberately changed the topic: "You may not believe me, but I also snatched the bride's bouquet."
Yang Yi: "Amazing! Congratulations."
Zhao Lu: "Same joy, same joy."
After Yang Yi finished eating, she said she was going to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, she also shoveled the cat litter and mopped the floor.Zhao Lu was embarrassed to bother her any more, put down his phone, and took a sip of coconut milk.
The makeup artist obviously used low-quality cosmetics on her, and the makeup on Zhao Lu's face was unreadable after a while, so she took her bag and went to the bathroom to touch up the makeup.
She didn't delay, she came out as soon as she finished it, she never expected to bump into Chen Xi.
The two stood on both sides of the aisle, looking at each other, a little embarrassed.
Chen Xi's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she didn't know if she had been drinking.
Zhao Lu only glanced at it, turned away hastily, and turned to leave.
"Zhao Lu." Chen Xi called her name.
Zhao Lu paused slightly, not wanting to turn around.
Chen Xi stepped forward to block her way, looked straight at her, and said, "I really didn't expect you to hate me."
Zhao Lu's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened: "When did I say I hate you?"
Chen Xi's eyes darkened, and he said, "In the shopping mall that day, I actually felt a little bit, but I wasn't sure. Later I added you on WeChat and you didn't agree, I just pretended that you didn't see it. On the way here just now, when you mentioned the email With that tone, and that look, I don't believe you said you never hated me. "
"..."
When Zhao Lu walked into the wedding hall, he found that half of the people had already left, and others left one after another.
She also wanted to follow, but as a member of the bridesmaids, she didn't dare to leave without authorization.
There is going to be a new house at night.
The newly decorated new house is full of the closest relatives and friends of the bride and groom.Zhao Lu was caught in the crowd, cheering and booing with everyone.
The bride and groom were forced to play a few rounds of ambiguous games and hugged each other. They were pushed down on the bed by the best man brothers, and the room cheered.
Seeing other people walking out one after another, Zhao Lu thought it was over, but was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders.
With a bang, the door of the new house was slammed shut by someone.
Five big men firmly blocked the door, reeking of alcohol and cloudy eyes.
One of them, named Biaozi, said in a loud voice: "The bridesmaids are not allowed to leave, the brothers haven't had enough fun yet."
Zhao Lu looked around, and found that the brothers and sisters of the best man and bridesmaids were all there. These five big men came from nowhere, and they were not good at first glance.
Chen Xi stood up to make a rescue: "It's getting late, let's leave some space for the bride and groom."
Biaozi said impatiently: "If you say no, you can't. The groom is my brother. The process hasn't been completed yet, so you just ran away. What's the point of getting married."
Chen Xi frowned: "What do you mean?"
Biao Zi squinted at her, and said, "You girls take off your underwear and throw them here, and we will let them go, otherwise you don't even think about leaving."
Including Zhao Lu, the other girls all changed their faces when they heard what he said.
Zhao Lu couldn't help but choked: "If you want to make trouble, just make trouble normally, don't expect us to cooperate with you in such vulgar tricks."
Biaozi immediately became unhappy, knocked on the door with his hands, and said, "Why is it vulgar? We have to do this when we get married and start a new house. If you don't cooperate, how can you be a sister of others, and you won't give face?"
Zhao Lu's face turned green with anger. She had often heard of vulgar marriages before, but she never thought that she would be so unlucky to be bumped into.She snorted coldly: "Are you the groom? Why should I give you face?"
"That's right, why listen to you, you are too shameless." Several sisters of the bridesmaid group seconded.
Chen Xi went to the big bed, and asked the best man coldly: "Wang Tao, you let them mess around like this?"
The groom had been drinking with him all day, and he still hadn't fully sobered up yet. He looked blankly at the people in the room and said, "I'll listen...to my brother."
"Did you hear that, the groom said to listen to us!"
Chen Xiaomei couldn't stand it anymore, and said anxiously: "They are all my sisters, you can't bully people like this."
Biaozi yelled: "Bride don't talk, it's none of your business." He pointed at Zhao Lu and the others, "You don't have to take it off, we don't mind helping you take it off."
At the critical moment, Zhao Lu and Chen Xi looked at each other, and reached out tacitly to push away a man who jumped in front of their eyes.
The room suddenly became a mess, accompanied by the woman's screams.
"Let's go out!" Zhao Lu rushed to the door.
Chen Xi also rushed over, wanting to screw the door with her.
But those men were cheating, their bodies were as hard as a city wall, blocking the door tightly.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing! If you want to quarrel, go out and quarrel!" Chen Xiaomei stood on the big bed and yelled.
I don't know who bumped into the table, but there was a loud "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" and the scene got out of hand.
After a few seconds of stalemate between the two sides, the groom Wang Tao finally realized his conscience and said, "Forget it, let them go."
Biaozi Buyi: "No, it's not that easy!"
Zhao Lu laughed back angrily: "What else do you want?"
Biaozi gave the others a wink, and someone immediately handed him a bottle of Wuliangye. He smiled evilly and said, "Whoever finishes drinking first, I will let him go."
The author has something to say: Yang Yi: "What Xiangxiang?"
Zhao Lu: "Is the nickname I gave you nice to hear?"
The corner of Yang Yi's mouth twitched: "Why is it called this?"
Zhao Lu: "You are fragrant, you don't know, you still ask!"
Yang Yi: "..."
emmmmm the author is nervous
Zhao Lu asked her: "Do you want me to wait for you to get off work together?"
The originally clean and tidy desktop was now full of documents, Yang Yi glanced at it, and sighed: "Forget it, I don't know how long you will be busy, you should go back first."
A workaholic is a workaholic, Zhao Lu feels ashamed, and only advises her: "Then don't be too late, it's not safe to go back too late."
Yang Yi smiled and said softly: "Got it. Thank you for bringing me food today."
"Is it tasty?"
"good to eat."
Zhao Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you like it, I can bring it to you often in the future."
Yang Yi froze for a moment, and said, "That's so embarrassing."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, I often rub against your car." Zhao Lu didn't give her a chance to dismiss it, so he sped up his speech, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you can be busy, bye!"
"Bye-Bye."
When I walked out of the studio, it was a little dark.Zhao Lu hailed a taxi, and just got in when the phone in his bag rang.

While fastening her seat belt, Chen Xi said, "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." She nodded her chin on the driver's seat, "That bottle of water hasn't been touched, you can drink it."
Zhao Lu didn't say anything, and looked down at the hot rice ball in his hand, but he couldn't eat it for a long time.
"Is this car your own?"
"No, Xiaomei's brother's. What's the matter?"
"Is it okay to eat in his car?"
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Xi laughed and said, "It's okay, you eat yours."
Zhao Lu still didn't move, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Chen Xi shrugged and said, "I drank two cups of warm water when I got up, and I'm still not hungry."
Zhao Lu stopped talking, opened his mouth and took a bite, it was soft and waxy.
Zhao Lu has not experienced this taste for a long time.
In fact, I really want to tell her that since she knew that glutinous rice is not easy to digest and is not conducive to weight loss, she has never touched this kind of food in the past ten years.
Feelings, like habits, will be slowly diluted with the passage of time, and eventually return to zero.
Thoughts turned and turned, Zhao Lu chose not to say anything.She didn't want to make the atmosphere even drier.
I met him by chance at the shopping mall that day. After returning, Zhao Lu thought about it and felt that his reaction was a little too radical.It has been so long, she should face it calmly.
It's one thing to figure it out, but quite another to do it.
"Are we still friends?" Chen Xi said abruptly.
Zhao Lu was caught off guard by her beating, and his thoughts were pulled back. Looking at her side face, he had the illusion that he had suddenly passed away.
There are some people in the world who seem to be favored by heaven from birth. They have a good family background, good appearance, excellent academic performance, and outstanding abilities in all aspects.No matter how long time passes, no matter what occasion they appear in, they will always be the most dazzling one in the crowd.
Zhao Lu believed from the bottom of his heart that Chen Xi was one of those darlings favored by heaven.
When she was in high school, Chen Xi was the top student in the class. As she grew older, she was still so beautiful. It is said that she was later sent to a well-known university in the United States.
The person is still the same person, but some things have quietly changed.
Zhao Lu looked down at the rice ball in his hand, and said slowly: "Chen Xi, I wrote you an email when I was a sophomore, do you still remember?"
"..."
Zhao Lu raised his head again, looked into her eyes through the rearview mirror, and said with a wry smile, "You may not remember, but I remember very clearly. You saw my email, and you only responded to me with one sentence."
"..."
"'Let's not communicate again', that's what you said to me."
Chen Xi's face turned red and then turned pale, he hesitated: "Zhao Lu, I..."
"Let's stop talking, let's drive properly." Zhao Lu interrupted her expressionlessly, eating glutinous rice balls expressionlessly, as if chewing wax.
……
Zhao Lu has participated in many other people's weddings before, but this is the first time to be a bridesmaid.
The wedding was all contracted by the hotel, and Zhao Lu and Chen Xi were invited to the dressing room.
In the huge dressing room, makeup artists and stylists are all in place.Zhao Lu went to change his dress first, and stood in front of the mirror with a slumped face.
The stylist examined her face and said with a smile, "It's beautiful, don't you think?"
Zhao Lu smiled without saying a word.
The dress was beautiful, with flowing skirts and lovely colours.It's just that her face was still swollen, and the double eyelid of one eye became a single eyelid.
The light above her head hurt her eyes, Zhao Lu was pushed on the chair, and the makeup artist began to apply makeup for them.
The soft brush swirled gently on his face, Zhao Lu closed his eyes, as if he was catching up on sleep.From makeup to styling, she fell asleep five times in total during the hour.
"All right."
When the make-up artist announced that she was done, she even stretched her waist, and accidentally bumped into Chen Xi who was sitting next to her.She hurriedly withdrew her hand and sat upright.
I don't know if she said those words in the car too harshly before, but now Chen Xi looked at her with strange eyes, with a hint of guilt in her eagerness.
Zhao Lu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: I hope I'm not suspicious.
The wedding process was very busy, and when everyone had put on their makeup, the host came and called them to the hall to rehearse.
Zhao Lu drank a bottle of water in the car. She was worried that the rehearsal time would be too long and she would urinate urgently, so she said, "Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom."
She stood up, but she didn't expect that the skirt was stepped on by the makeup artist, and her body was dragged forward.
"Be careful!" Chen Xi, who was sitting next to her, quickly supported her with his hands.
A look of unnaturalness flashed across Zhao Lu's face, he broke free from her hand, said "thank you", opened the door and walked out.
At twelve noon, the wedding ceremony officially began.
After all, Zhao Lu is not a bridesmaid. Like the other three girls, she only needs to accompany her through a cutscene. After standing on the stage for a few minutes, the couple and the best man and bridesmaid stay behind, and the others retreat.
The bridesmaids and best men specially set up a table of meals, after a whole morning of tossing, Zhao Lu was already exhausted.Her ankle was sore, she sat down and beat her legs, looking towards the stage.
The ceremony lasted for nearly half an hour. When the groom knelt down and put on the ring for the bride, Chen Xiaomei was so touched that the pear blossoms were raining.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lu couldn't help but think of the wedding video she saw on Yang Yi's phone, she took out her phone and sent Yang Yi a WeChat message: "Does every married couple have to cry on stage? "
Waited a few minutes and got no reply.Zhao Lu couldn't help wondering, it's already noon, isn't it up yet?
According to Yang Yi's personality, it is also unlikely.
At the end of the wedding, there was thunderous applause at the scene, and Zhao Lu applauded along with everyone.
Next is the time to eat and drink.
The bride and groom toast each table one by one, followed by the groomsmen and bridesmaids.
Zhao Lu glanced around, and unexpectedly met Chen Xi's eyes, she pretended to move away as if nothing had happened.
After tossing and tossing all morning, he was already hungry. Zhao Lu picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, looking down at his phone from time to time.
Still no movement.
The buddies from the best man team went to toast with the groom, Zhao Lu and the others were all women at the table, and they were still not satisfied.Zhao Lu didn't know anyone, so bored, he typed with one hand while eating.
"Did you have meal?"
"What are you doing?"
"Yang Yi?"
"Miss Yang?"
"Yang Yang Yang?"
"Xiangxiang?"
With one hand inconvenient, she typed very slowly, and Yang Yi still didn't reply her even a single word during the process.
Zhao Lu has never felt that she was so bored, she raised her eyelids, glanced at the people at the same table, and found that everyone was eating and didn't notice her.She bowed her head again and continued to do whatever she wanted.
"Beautiful Yang?"
Yang Yi: "???"
Zhao Lu stared at the three question marks that popped up suddenly for a few seconds before realizing that it was Yang Yi who replied to her.
The corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, she put down her chopsticks, held the phone in one hand, and stamped with the other finger: "You are too snobbish, I called you for a long time and didn't respond, and you just showed up after praising you."
The other party is typing...
In the next second, Yang Yi replied, "Sorry, I was cooking noodles just now."
The food in the hotel is fancy but not useful. It looks good and tastes terrible.Zhao Lu put down his chopsticks and didn't want to move anymore, so he might as well chat with Yang Yi.
"Show me the noodles you made."
Yang Yi sent her a picture, clear soup with little water, a few noodles floating in the water, not even green onion.
Zhao Lu was dumbfounded: "You eat this at noon?"
Yang Yi: "No, I just finished eating the fried eggs."
It is barely acceptable to have eggs.
Zhao Lu was afraid of affecting her meal: "We will talk after you finish eating."
Yang Yi sent another message: "Is the wedding boring?"
There are thousands of people sitting in a hall, Zhao Lu searched around but did not find a single acquaintance, she said honestly: "It's boring."
Yang Yi: "Looking at you calling me madly just now, I probably guessed it."
Zhao Lu's face turned hot, and he deliberately changed the topic: "You may not believe me, but I also snatched the bride's bouquet."
Yang Yi: "Amazing! Congratulations."
Zhao Lu: "Same joy, same joy."
After Yang Yi finished eating, she said she was going to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, she also shoveled the cat litter and mopped the floor.Zhao Lu was embarrassed to bother her any more, put down his phone, and took a sip of coconut milk.
The makeup artist obviously used low-quality cosmetics on her, and the makeup on Zhao Lu's face was unreadable after a while, so she took her bag and went to the bathroom to touch up the makeup.
She didn't delay, she came out as soon as she finished it, she never expected to bump into Chen Xi.
The two stood on both sides of the aisle, looking at each other, a little embarrassed.
Chen Xi's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she didn't know if she had been drinking.
Zhao Lu only glanced at it, turned away hastily, and turned to leave.
"Zhao Lu." Chen Xi called her name.
Zhao Lu paused slightly, not wanting to turn around.
Chen Xi stepped forward to block her way, looked straight at her, and said, "I really didn't expect you to hate me."
Zhao Lu's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened: "When did I say I hate you?"
Chen Xi's eyes darkened, and he said, "In the shopping mall that day, I actually felt a little bit, but I wasn't sure. Later I added you on WeChat and you didn't agree, I just pretended that you didn't see it. On the way here just now, when you mentioned the email With that tone, and that look, I don't believe you said you never hated me. "
"..."
When Zhao Lu walked into the wedding hall, he found that half of the people had already left, and others left one after another.
She also wanted to follow, but as a member of the bridesmaids, she didn't dare to leave without authorization.
There is going to be a new house at night.
The newly decorated new house is full of the closest relatives and friends of the bride and groom.Zhao Lu was caught in the crowd, cheering and booing with everyone.
The bride and groom were forced to play a few rounds of ambiguous games and hugged each other. They were pushed down on the bed by the best man brothers, and the room cheered.
Seeing other people walking out one after another, Zhao Lu thought it was over, but was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders.
With a bang, the door of the new house was slammed shut by someone.
Five big men firmly blocked the door, reeking of alcohol and cloudy eyes.
One of them, named Biaozi, said in a loud voice: "The bridesmaids are not allowed to leave, the brothers haven't had enough fun yet."
Zhao Lu looked around, and found that the brothers and sisters of the best man and bridesmaids were all there. These five big men came from nowhere, and they were not good at first glance.
Chen Xi stood up to make a rescue: "It's getting late, let's leave some space for the bride and groom."
Biaozi said impatiently: "If you say no, you can't. The groom is my brother. The process hasn't been completed yet, so you just ran away. What's the point of getting married."
Chen Xi frowned: "What do you mean?"
Biao Zi squinted at her, and said, "You girls take off your underwear and throw them here, and we will let them go, otherwise you don't even think about leaving."
Including Zhao Lu, the other girls all changed their faces when they heard what he said.
Zhao Lu couldn't help but choked: "If you want to make trouble, just make trouble normally, don't expect us to cooperate with you in such vulgar tricks."
Biaozi immediately became unhappy, knocked on the door with his hands, and said, "Why is it vulgar? We have to do this when we get married and start a new house. If you don't cooperate, how can you be a sister of others, and you won't give face?"
Zhao Lu's face turned green with anger. She had often heard of vulgar marriages before, but she never thought that she would be so unlucky to be bumped into.She snorted coldly: "Are you the groom? Why should I give you face?"
"That's right, why listen to you, you are too shameless." Several sisters of the bridesmaid group seconded.
Chen Xi went to the big bed, and asked the best man coldly: "Wang Tao, you let them mess around like this?"
The groom had been drinking with him all day, and he still hadn't fully sobered up yet. He looked blankly at the people in the room and said, "I'll listen...to my brother."
"Did you hear that, the groom said to listen to us!"
Chen Xiaomei couldn't stand it anymore, and said anxiously: "They are all my sisters, you can't bully people like this."
Biaozi yelled: "Bride don't talk, it's none of your business." He pointed at Zhao Lu and the others, "You don't have to take it off, we don't mind helping you take it off."
At the critical moment, Zhao Lu and Chen Xi looked at each other, and reached out tacitly to push away a man who jumped in front of their eyes.
The room suddenly became a mess, accompanied by the woman's screams.
"Let's go out!" Zhao Lu rushed to the door.
Chen Xi also rushed over, wanting to screw the door with her.
But those men were cheating, their bodies were as hard as a city wall, blocking the door tightly.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing! If you want to quarrel, go out and quarrel!" Chen Xiaomei stood on the big bed and yelled.
I don't know who bumped into the table, but there was a loud "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" and the scene got out of hand.
After a few seconds of stalemate between the two sides, the groom Wang Tao finally realized his conscience and said, "Forget it, let them go."
Biaozi Buyi: "No, it's not that easy!"
Zhao Lu laughed back angrily: "What else do you want?"
Biaozi gave the others a wink, and someone immediately handed him a bottle of Wuliangye. He smiled evilly and said, "Whoever finishes drinking first, I will let him go."
The author has something to say: Yang Yi: "What Xiangxiang?"
Zhao Lu: "Is the nickname I gave you nice to hear?"
The corner of Yang Yi's mouth twitched: "Why is it called this?"
Zhao Lu: "You are fragrant, you don't know, you still ask!"
Yang Yi: "..."
emmmmm the author is nervous
