King of People

On the eve of the wedding, Zhu Yilin didn't sleep well all night and had countless dreams.

He remembered the day he met Lu Jiachuan for the first time. Lu Jiachuan was sitting in the last row of the class, wearing a school uniform with short sleeves, long pants, and old sneakers. He walked through the gap between the desks and accidentally scratched his clothes. Lu Jiachuan put the textbook on the corner of the table, "slap", the English book fell off, Zhu Yilin bent down to pick it up, put it back to its original position, and said "sorry".

Lu Jiachuan didn't say a word, just looked up at him.

This is the first time they met after the sophomore class in high school.

At that time, Zhu Yilin was 17 years old and Lu Jiachuan was [-] years old.

Zhu Yilin hasn't thought about what career he will pursue in the future, and Lu Jiachuan doesn't know who his father is. Similarly, they have never thought about what love is, and they never expected that they would love each other enough to want to be with him Life and death.

And time flies, today is their wedding.

Zhu Yilin felt a little dazed when he got up early in the morning. Lu Jiachuan helped him put on the dress with his own hands. As usual, he would habitually kiss him when he was wearing a tie, but there were outsiders—makeup artists, photographers, assistants, etc. It's not good to be too intimate, just a light kiss and it's over.

Lu Jiachuan said suddenly: "Brother, I heard that there are many rules in traditional weddings. The bride and groom cannot meet before the ceremony. Do you know that?"

"Really? Why?" Zhu Yilin didn't understand.

"Well, there is a saying that in ancient times, most of the marriages were arranged. Parents and matchmakers were afraid that they would regret the marriage if they found out that the other party was ugly when they met early. Therefore, on the wedding night, when the groom uncovered the bride's red hijab, he would know What does the other party look like?" Lu Jiachuan laughed, "If you lift the hijab, no matter if it's ugly or beautiful, you can't go back on your word."

He helped Zhu Yilin tidy up his clothes, and said: "After we finish exchanging rings later, you can't go back on your word, brother."

Zhu Yilin also smiled: "If I could repent, I would have repented long ago."

"Huh? What did you say?" Lu Jiachuan frowned deliberately, made an angry grimace, and glared at Zhu Yilin.

Zhu Yilin poked his face: "Stop making trouble, the guests will be here soon."

Lu Jiachuan had no choice but to restrain himself, walked out of the room with him, and went out to meet the guests.

July is a good time. Today’s weather is excellent. The blue sky, big white clouds, the occasional wind blowing near the lake, and the scent of moist grass and trees in the wind form a bright summer that is almost dreamlike. .

The door of the villa is open, and several security guards are guarding the door.

After entering the gate, there is a wide stone road leading directly to the garden. Both sides of the road are covered with ribbons and balloons. The footsteps of the guests are accompanied by brisk music. As far as the eye can see, there is joy.

Today's ceremony stage was set up on the lawn of the garden. There were two neat rows of white tables and chairs under the stage. There was a red carpet between the tables and chairs.

The arrangement of the ceremony table is very beautiful, but not very particular.

The "exquisite" here refers to conforming to the customs and doing things according to the rules. Zhu Yilin and Lu Jiachuan are not rules at all. , did not find a witness.

In fact, they originally planned to follow the rules. Their original plan was to hold a traditional wedding according to the customs of Jiangcheng, but the young people did not understand the customs. Asked Zhu Yilin's mother Zhao Ying, Ms. Zhao said she did not remember , even more thoughtful than them, leaving behind the sentence "It's good to celebrate", Zhu Yilin is funny and helpless.

Facts have proved that it is very good to do so, very happy.

The guests all came. Since there were few people and they were familiar with each other, they were not too restrained. After greeting each other, they took their seats casually, and the order of the seats was not particular.

Zhu Yilin and Lu Jiachuan each wore white dresses, stood at the starting point of the red carpet flowers, no one led them, held each other's hands, and walked up to the oath-taking ceremony amidst the booing of the two rows of guests on the left and right .

Zhu Yilin stood on the stage, touched his nose, and said with a smile, "Are we being too casual?"

Lu Jiachuan said, "It doesn't matter."

He can't help but pretend to be cool in front of outsiders. Zhu Yilin poked his arm quietly and asked in a low voice, "What's the first session today?"

Lu Jiachuan said: "Recall the past and introduce our love history."

Zhu Yilin nodded, and turned his gaze to the audience: "Hi everyone, thank you for coming to Zhu Yilin and Lu Jiachuan's wedding, today is July 7th, not only our wedding, but also Mr. Lu Jiachuan's birthday, we Happy birthday to him first."

Director Zhang Kun, who has collaborated with Zhu Yilin in several films, rolled his eyes funny in the audience: "Zhu Yilin, why is the atmosphere a bit off? Is this a wedding or a cross talk show?"

Zhu Yilin looked at him expressionlessly: "Are you going to be the master of ceremonies?"

Zhang Kun quickly waved his hand: "No, no, you continue."

The audience laughed.

Zhu Yilin said: "I don't want to talk so much. You all know that I am a quiet person, but if I don't talk, no one will talk. Xiao Lu is not familiar with you, and he will be shy——Director Cheng, you What are you laughing at? Do you know that because you asked me to shoot "Red Clothes" and he scolded you behind your back every day, you can still laugh?"

Cheng Jieshi lowered his head and smiled.

Zhu Yilin looked at Lu Jiachuan: "Forget it, I forgot the words I wrote last night, baby, please tell me a few words."

"What am I talking about?" Lu Jiachuan was really shy. Zhu Yilin noticed that his fingers curled up unconsciously. This was his habitual little movement when he was nervous, but Lu Jiachuan pretended to be calm. Tell me about our past?"

Lu Jiachuan looked at the audience.

There were ten or so people in the audience, less than twenty, except for the guests invited by Zhu Yilin, and the companions brought by the guests, they were all acquaintances.

The photographer took pictures on the stage, and Lu Jiachuan said: "I have never participated in other people's weddings, and I don't know what they will do when they get married. I have been separated from Zhu Yilin for seven years, and I have many opportunities to participate in weddings during those seven years." , but I have rejected other people's invitations, otherwise, I would be jealous to see their happiness with my own eyes."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Lu Jiachuan is a quiet king, but he has the advantage of not being stage-frightened and not caring about how others look at him: "I met Zhu Yilin when I was 16 years old, and today I am 26 years old. This wedding is a gift from him. I... I have never had such a complete birthday, I love to wish you a happy birthday."

Lu Jiachuan didn't know the expressions of everyone in the audience, and those who didn't know the past would not understand the weight of this sentence, but he was already moved by his words, tears welled up in his eyes, and he turned his head hastily to wipe it off.

Zhu Yilin squeezed his hand: "Don't cry, what are you doing?"

Lu Jiachuan turned his back to the audience and refused to turn his head.

Zhu Yilin had no choice but to say to himself: "Actually, we have prepared a few romantic scenes, intending to make a splash, but before the main event, Mr. Lu Jiachuan can't hold back, what can I do? Or we can just have dinner .”

The audience laughed again, Zhu Yilin looked at Zhao Ying: "Mom, can you come up and say a few words?"

Zhao Ying refused: "What am I talking about? You two have been friends for so many years, and you have been hiding it from me. I don't know anything."

Zhu Yilin was helpless: "Give me the ring, and be a guest at the head office of the wedding witness?"

Zhao Ying said "OK", took the wedding ring box from Tan Xiaoqing, walked up the steps to the stage, and stood between Zhu Yilin and Lu Jiachuan.

Zhao Ying is also like a cross talk actor, and she smiled first: "What lines should I say? You said earlier that you want me to witness the marriage, so I will recite a line in advance."

"up to you."

"Okay." Ms. Zhao Ying wore a deep red dress today, very dignified, she slowly opened the ring box.

The wedding rings are a pair of engraved couple rings, one is engraved with "Zhu Yilin" and the other is engraved with "Lu Jiachuan". Zhao Ying sent them respectively, and first said to Zhu Yilin: "Lin Lin Precocious and sensible, I have never done anything too outrageous since I was a child. You told me that day that you and Lu Jiachuan were together. I was shocked, but you have grown up, and your mother can’t accompany you to the end. You found it It's a good thing to want to be with someone for a lifetime, no matter he is a man or a woman, I understand you and envy you."

Zhao Ying said earnestly: "Are you willing to be with Lu Jiachuan, regardless of good times or bad times, poverty or wealth, health or disease, and hold his hand forever until the end?"

Zhu Yilin's eyes turned red: "I am willing."

Zhao Ying nodded, and turned to Lu Jiachuan: "Xiao Lu can be regarded as the one I watched growing up. I know that it was not easy for you when you were a child, and it should not be easy when you grow up. You used to come to my house to play. At that time, I I thought, Linlin and you can be good brothers for a lifetime. It is a good thing to help each other when you grow up. I didn’t expect you to come together in this way. It is also a good thing. I will treat you as I treat Zhu Yilin in the future , regard you as my own son."

Zhao Ying said: "Then you are willing to be with Zhu Yilin, no matter how many difficulties you encounter, love him forever, never separate for the rest of your life, and call me mother like him?"

Lu Jiachuan had just withdrawn his tears just now, and was provoked to cry again by the word "Mom", and said in a hoarse voice, "I am willing, thank you Mom."

"Okay, now you can exchange rings."

There was applause of blessing from the audience.

The ring engraved with the name "Zhu Yilin" was put on Lu Jiachuan's finger, and the ring engraved with the name "Lu Jiachuan" firmly locked Zhu Yilin. When the petals and ribbons fell, they embraced and kissed——

"I love you."

"I love you forever."
