Ha ha

The wedding of Phytolaca and Passerby A was held in a high-end restaurant in City A.

Xu Chenchuan walked into the lobby, and saw the large flowers and eye-catching posters decorated at the entrance of the banquet hall at a glance, and many people had already gathered beside them.He walked to the edge of the crowd and looked around, and as expected, he saw a couple of newlyweds busy greeting the guests.

Shanglu is wearing a suit and leather shoes today.Passerby A is wearing a wedding dress and still has short hair, probably to match the short hair. The makeup on her face is also lighter than that of ordinary brides, but it does not prevent her from being radiant.

In front of the two of them, many people were lined up to send blessings.Xu Chenchuan saw that it would not be his turn in a while, so he turned around and walked towards the signing place first.

"Little Keke!" Someone called him suddenly.Xu Chenchuan followed the prestige, and there was an old man leaning on the edge of the sign-in stage, waving vigorously at him.

"Cat grass? You're here too?" Xu Chenchuan looked around, and the seven or eight people standing here seemed to be from the Shuying group. The number of people was naturally much smaller than the last New Year's gathering, and three or four of them They are members of the management group who have met once, and there are a few unfamiliar faces, who must have a deep friendship with Phytolacca or passerby.

"The rest of our group can't come because it's not a holiday after all." Maocao said with a smile, "Go and see in the group, Awen has been crying for an hour."

Xu Chenchuan took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It's not that you have been posting photos to tease him!"

"That's right, Little Keke, stand up and let me click one." Maocao gestured with her mobile phone, "Speaking of which, where is your god? Why are you the only one here again!"

"He...is not very convenient, hehe." Xu Chenchuan scratched his head.

"It's too mysterious, that's right. People like this brother are not afraid to die in the light of the light. What does the great god look like so that people don't show it!"

Xu Chenchuan smiled without saying a word.

"Could it be short, fat and frustrated?"

Xu Chenchuan made up the picture in his head, and laughed loudly: "Well, maybe he's bald."

【Translation-Cat Grass】: "The great god Xiao Keke said you are bald!"

[Translation-Chris]: "Hey, no no no I didn't mean that QAQ!!"

Xu Chenchuan quickly diverted Maocao's attention: "Why don't you go in, what are you waiting for here?"

"There are still a few people who haven't come. We, the team members, can take a group photo when everyone is here."

"Oh." Xu Chenchuan looked around and saw that everyone was reporting their IDs to each other. A girl with glasses and the appearance of an honor student was standing aside, looking at him with a half-smile.Xu Chenchuan was stunned for a moment, but the other party took the initiative to speak first: "Chris?"

"Yes, it's me." Xu Chenchuan always felt that he had never seen her before, "Excuse me, what is your ID?"

"I have many IDs, one of them, I don't know if you still remember it." The other party smiled and took two steps closer, "Come here with your ears."

Xu Chenchuan bent down without knowing it, and the girl whispered in his ear: "I'm called Your Majesty Axia, the tech house boss."

"……ah!"

"Shhh." The other party hastily made a silent gesture, took two steps back and said with a smile, "But that ID has been invalidated, as long as you know me."

Xu Chenchuan hasn't recovered from his surprise yet - this is the technical nerd who stripped off Bai Qi's vest under Shang Lu's instruction!It's such a little girl...

"I have admired you for a long time, and I finally met the real person." A-Xia looked back, "It's a pity, I wanted to apologize to the paper crane god, after all, I didn't discuss it with him beforehand. You Can you pass it on to me?"

"...OK, no problem." Xu Chenchuan couldn't help but also looked forward to Bai Qi's reaction when he learned the truth.

They chatted for a few more words, Xu Chenchuan saw that there were fewer people in front of Shang Lu, so he walked over to say hello: "Team leader, happy wedding!"

"Yo, little Keke~" Phytolaca tidied up carefully from head to toe, with a rose decorated with a ribbon on his chest, exuding an aura of beastly clothes.Xu Chenchuan handed him the red envelope in his hand: "This is the wish of the two of us, I wish the team leader and Ah Jia a happy marriage for a hundred years."

"Aguan is still refusing to come, and I don't even give any face when I get married. It's so heartless."

Xu Chenchuan black line: "Team leader..." Forget about other people, Shang Lu knows Bai Qi's situation perfectly.

"But after I persistently cried and showed him, he somehow made up for it."

——This is pure extortion! "Wait, what compensation?"

"Hey hey hey I won't tell you, you'll know after a while."

Xu Chenchuan still wanted to ask again, but Shang Lu had already shouted towards the sign-in office: "Everyone is here, right? Come, come, let's take a group photo!"

The people in Shuying were directed by the wedding photographer, and they chose a place to stand in two rows. The two newlyweds were surrounded in the middle, and they hugged each other tightly under the booing of the crowd.Passerby A suddenly said: "Wait a minute, my bouquet is scattered."

The heart-shaped bouquet in her hand was originally tied with a ribbon, but the ribbon was rubbed off at some point.Passer-by A thought for a while and asked, "Who has a rubber band to lend me?"

The bride herself has short hair, and the girls in the guests also wear their hair.Everyone's eyes turned a few times, and finally fell on the groom.

Shanglu silently grabbed his ponytail, removed the rubber band and handed it to passerby A.

「[email protected] Shuying-Shanglu team leader's distribution look!!!」

"It's so beautiful Cry?! This is completely unscientific!!!"

"Thank you Guan Pi-jun for the live broadcast! The team leader has long hair reaching his waist and finally got married. What's the matter with my inexplicable gratification?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the group leader and the goddess QAQ really want to go to the scene to have a look! Just a quick look! I'm crying!"

……

Today, A Xia, who was in charge of wearing the official skin of the Shuying Group, handed the mobile phone to the photographer: "Brother, can you take a group photo with my mobile phone, too?"

"Ah yes, bro, take a picture with my camera too!" "I want it too!" Everyone woke up and took turns taking pictures with their cameras.Xu Chenchuan also joined in the fun and asked for one with his mobile phone, bowed his hair and gave it to Bai Qi: "I'll show you the scene. By the way, what is the compensation that the team leader said? Why haven't I heard of it?"

no reply.

……Angry?why?Because he is bald?

Xu Chenchuan nervously followed the crowd into the banquet hall, found a table specially reserved for the Shuying group and sat down.The guests were almost full, and after a few words of pleasantries, the overhead light dimmed, and the stage at the end of the hall was lit up with colored lights, and a man who looked like a host ran onto the stage, loudly heating up the venue.

Xu Chenchuan put his mobile phone on his lap, and sneaked up to the penguins to take a look, his eyelids twitched, and he typed quickly: "I'm joking QAQ, don't take it seriously! He doesn't have a lot of hair at all, but he has a lot! Cutting long hair into three sections and transplanting all of them on the scalp would add up to more!"

[Later stage-Awen]: "Hahahahaha, isn't Little Keke really free of 300 taels of silver here!"

【Translation-Yu Tarasang】: "I didn't take it seriously at first, but I suddenly became a little skeptical after hearing you say that hhhhhh..."

[Supervisor-Passerby A]: "Planted on the scalp? I seem to have realized something→_→"

[Later stage-Awen]: "Hahahahaha... Hey! Why did you climb up, bride?!"

Xu Chenchuan raised his head and looked over, the host was still the only one talking on stage.At this moment, he just stopped talking, and said loudly: "Guests and friends, let's welcome a couple of newcomers to the stage with warm applause, and congratulate them on their marriage! Oh, our newcomers are so talented and beautiful."

The host paused, waiting for the applause to rest: "Actually, before the worship ceremony, we prepared a special surprise video at the groom's request, and gave it to the bride at this happy moment, and we invite everyone to enjoy it together."

"Eh? There's still this hand?" A-Xia whispered.

A projection screen slowly lowered, and the lights on the stage turned black.The hall gradually fell silent, and everyone was staring at the pure black screen.

Gradually, a picture appeared in the center of the screen. At first glance, it was just a very ordinary old photo. After a few seconds, there were low laughter and admiration from the banquet.It turns out that this picture is a composite, and the processing method is quite creative. It is a combination of interesting childhood photos of the two newcomers.The little passer-by hugged the tree trunk and bravely climbed up, while the preschool little Shanglu looked at her with his arms crossed under the tree.

The deep and beautiful cello sounded, and this picture faded out with the music, and then transitioned to the second one, which was a composite beach photo.

Then, a male voice in the background began to read softly: "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..."

Xu Chenchuan straightened his back among the unaware crowd.

The intelligent voice is generally standard, and the stream hardened in early spring is generally cold.

Is it... Bai Qi's voice?

The photos on the screen have been placed on two elementary school students wearing red scarves, as if they are growing up with each other, filling the years of absence from each other.At the same time, Bai Qi's voice continued, reciting Mrs. Browning's famous love poem to the sound of the violin.

how i love youLet me break it down.

i love you as far as my soul can reach

Depth and breadth and height, when it is felt out of sight

The end of existence and the most beautiful grace.

i love you every day

The quietest need, regardless of daylight or candlelight.

……

From the pen of a poetess who has been plagued by illness and disability for many years, every line kisses her lover who finally appeared, and the new life that followed.She learned to walk again for him, stepped out of the house with closed doors and windows, and finally walked into the sunshine side by side.

Even guests who don't know anything about the stories behind these scenes can probably feel the deep-rooted sweetness when watching the Chinese-translated verses that emerge at the bottom of the video.

Qinglie's voice was neither too fast nor too slow, overcoming the commotion, pouring out syllables that only one person could understand.

……

I love you freely as a man strives for the right;

I love you purely as they turn from fame.

I love you in my old sorrow

The anger consumed is also based on the conviction of my childhood.

I love you with a faith that seems lost with me

A lost love,—I love you with all my life

Breathe, smile, teardrop! —then, if God grants,

I will love you more only after death.

……

One photo after another, the years flew by, and finally stopped at the scene of the two embracing and kissing.

The lights were turned on again, and there was the warmest applause since entering the venue, mixed with booing: "Kiss one! Kiss one!!!..."

"[Picture] Kissed, Kissed! Delighted Sahua!"

"The video just now was so touching that I had tears in my eyes... Now the host is asking the couple to say a few words to each other, and then it's the ceremony! Mr. Guanpi, go and wipe your tears and snot first!"

After sending the live broadcast, A-Xia put her phone aside and took a sip of juice, then turned her gaze: "...Chris? Are you okay?"

Maocao on the side patted her: "Hahaha, it's all right, this guy just took a bite of the cold dish and it turned out to be spicy."

◇◇◇

On this day, Xu Chenchuan accidentally drank too much.

It seems that he was absent-minded and inattentive during the exchange of toasts, and when he noticed that the poor drinker could no longer hold on.

When people left the table in the subtitle group, he dazedly took out his mobile phone and called the driver: "Old Qu, my side is almost finished, please come and pick me up—you're already here? Then I'll go outside." ..."

"Are you still walking straight?" Maocao sneered.

"No problem." Xu Chenchuan stood up while supporting the table, and walked straight to show him.

"Forget it, let me go together," Maocao got up and waved to everyone, "in case he falls into the gutter halfway."

"Oh, I really don't need to—"

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Maocao supported him and walked a few steps, and whispered, "It's boring for me to be there by myself, so I just left."

Xu Chenchuan smirked.

This meeting was the peak time for the retreat of the large troops. Once the two of them left, the rest of the people at the table seemed to think that it was time to end, and people followed one after another.Maocao helped Xu Chenchuan walk towards the door while trying to get the words out of his mouth: "Your god is really mysterious."

"Hehe...is there any?"

"Yeah! If you weren't with him, we'd all think he wasn't a real person. So he's actually a star?"

Xu Chenchuan shook his head.

"Crooked nuts?"

Xu Chenchuan shook his head.

"Local tycoon?"

"Hey hey..."

"I got it right?!"

Xu Chenchuan shook his head.

"..." Maocao gave up and changed the way of asking, "Then what does your master look like, do you have any photos to show?"

"What does it look like?"

"Uh-huh."

Xu Chenchuan straightened his arms with a smile, and pointed to the front: "That's it."

Not far in front of them, a car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, and the windows of the back seat were slowly lowered, revealing the face of the man sitting in the car.

Maocao felt that his whole body was petrified.

The man cast his deep eyes on Xu Chenchuan, and then moved along the arm supporting Xu Chenchuan all the way to Maocao's face.

Maocao felt that it had cracked with a "click".

He was fixed in place by that gaze, and could not move until the driver in the driver's seat pushed the door and got out of the car, came over with a smile on his face, and took it from him while saying "I'm sorry to trouble you". Xu Chenchuan helped him into the back seat, then closed the car door and left without a trace.

Several people from the subtitle team were still standing at the entrance of the restaurant, silently watching the car disappear at the end of the street.

It took a long time before someone said slowly, "Is that... a paper crane?"

"...Guan Shan?" A group management person asked hesitantly.

"So why on earth is he refusing to show up?!!!"

A cool breeze blows.

"Ah! I forgot to take a picture!" Ah Xia screamed.

◇◇◇

Bai Qi glanced at Xu Chenchuan's flushed face: "Drinking again?"

"Sorry..." Xu Chenchuan kept giggling today, "Why are you in the car?"

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do." Bai Qi looked out of the window, and suddenly a large group of hot things stuck to him from the side, and for a moment he had the sensation of being touched by Oscar.Xu Chenchuan hugged him with open arms: "I heard the love poem you read, it's really nice."

Here it is again, the skill of stuffing candy into someone's mouth with a sincere face.

Xu Chenchuan took advantage of the strength of the wine, and the drunken salty pig's hands grabbed Bai Qi and kept stroking him around.The corner of Bai Qi's mouth twitched, he grabbed the salty pig's hands and moved them away, and they pulled them back in a blink of an eye.

The driver, Lao Qu, drove straight ahead, trying to treat the two people in the back seat as air.

Bai Qi turned his head to look at Xu Chenchuan.

Xu Chenchuan also looked at him with crooked eyebrows.

Bai Qi stretched out his hand suddenly, scratching the opponent's chin as if teasing a dog.Xu Chenchuan immediately narrowed his eyes and hummed comfortably.

...so is it a dog or a cat?

Xu Chenchuan was dizzy, and dozed off after a short while, his whole body was still tilted on Bai Qi's body, his head was shaking back and forth, left and right as the car moved.In the end, Bai Qi couldn't see him, so he brought the man over and changed his position, letting him sleep on his lap.

Xu Chenchuan slept so hard that he didn't know what night it was. He felt that the car had stopped in a daze, but his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open it.It seemed to be lifted up by someone, and then put on the warm cotton, and he sank into it with peace of mind.

Old Qu helped carry Xu Chenchuan into Bai Qi's house, put him on the bed, clapped his hands and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Okay, it's time to work."

Bai Qi sent the driver away, turned around and went to the bathroom to twist a hot towel, parked the wheelchair beside the bed, and went there to wipe Xu Chenchuan's face.

The person on the bed stretched his limbs, sleeping in an extremely relaxed and trusting manner, with a sense of security.Bai Qi once again felt the sight of Oscar spreading his belly out for others to see, so he couldn't help putting the towel aside, and scratched his stomach a few times in a wicked way.Xu Chenchuan shrank almost invisibly, and let out a vague laugh: "Itch..."

Bai Qi covered him with a quilt, and turned his head to look at those closed eyes.The eyelashes drooped softly, as if there was still a smile that hadn't dissipated.

Actually, it's not exactly the same.

For Bai Qi, it was not until the moment he met Mr. Xu himself during the interview half a year ago that the mystery of many years was finally completely solved.

It turned out to be him.It only takes one glance to recognize that the so-called colleague in the painting should actually be the boss.Bai Qi thought about the relationship between a few people going around, which can be regarded as a trick of fate.

Xu Guoqi is elegant and steady, he has goodwill in dealing with people, and he is reliable as an elder.It is simply an antonym of itself.Gu Shuying, who had just left her exhaustedly, would be willing to fall in a single mistake.

A long time ago, Bai Qi also imagined how he would react if he met the person in that painting one day.But when he really faced the bewildered Xu Guoqi, he was surprised by his own calmness.

Perhaps it was because at that time, he had already found the answer that he had tried so hard to find.

Not excited, not apprehensive, not overjoyed, and not heart-piercingly sad.It is ordinary, quiet and distant.

Loving someone feels like being alive, with an immortal fire burning in your chest.

Bai Qi pressed the corner of the quilt, the wheelchair turned around, and slid towards the door.

Xu Chenchuan on the bed suddenly murmured vaguely: "Bai Qi..."

"Huh?" Bai Qi turned around.

Xu Chenchuan smacked his lips, he had to listen carefully to distinguish those words:

"……You came……"

"Um."

"I am really happy."

……

"So happy, so happy..." Xu Chenchuan muttered and fell silent again.

Bai Qi shook his head, left the bedroom and gently closed the door.
