Chapter 51: Wedding Farce
"Do you think it's appropriate to ask a woman who has nothing to do with you at our wedding?" Yi Xin, who had originally lowered his head, raised his head, as if amused by my cold tone, his eyes were indifferent, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes.
My mind was filled with Xia Yan's voice and face, and countless fragmented memories of my dreams came flooding in an instant, more intense than ever before, and I was almost swallowed up.
Such a powerful flood of memories hit my heart again and again, like a reminder that something was not done.
It's not that I don't know what the occasion is, and it's not that I don't know how important the wedding is for a girl, my remaining sanity tells me that if the wedding goes smoothly, anything can be solved later, and on the spot of my wedding with Yixin, I, as the groom, actually asked about Xia Yan's whereabouts without words, it really shouldn't be, and it's too ridiculous.
It's so unfair to Yixin, even if she lied to me, even if I know that she must have let Dr. Gu Suliu manipulate my treatment, even if it ...... But over the years, in countless details, I know very well that Yixin loves me, and really loves me.
Can't this love counteract a lie that seems to be a little longer and has good intentions?
But...... But......
Xia Yan's crooked smile enlarged in front of me over and over again, and then disappeared, and my guilt for Yi Xin disappeared in an instant, leaving only the embers of anger. I was angry and sad, and asked Yi Xin word by word: "Tell me, where is Xia Yan?"
The alienation in Yi Xin's eyes grew heavier and heavier, and finally turned into a stagnant mist, making it impossible to see her emotions clearly. Yi Xin's lips opened lightly: "Gu Chenye, have you really, loved me?" The breath became weaker and weaker as the words stretched, and the voice was almost inaudible by the end.
There was a loud bang in my mind, Xia Yan's mystery was still lingering, but I seemed to suddenly break away from everything, floating into the infinite sky, looking down on all this compassionately from top to bottom, looking down on me, looking down on Yixin, looking down on my mother, looking down on all the guests, relatives and friends, looking down on such a strange world.
Confused, unwilling, fearful, regretful, guilty...... I was held hostage by unknown feelings and stood still.
The wedding master of ceremonies on the side watched the farce become more and more intense, and hurriedly started a round: "Dear guests, sorry to disturb you, due to some small accidents, the wedding process has been suspended slightly, please dine first, and we will see you later." ”
The sound engineer backstage turned up the background music several times to hide the accident on the red carpet. The discerning guests raised their glasses and began to eat and drink as if nothing had happened, trying to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, and the other guests gradually came back to their senses and moved their chopsticks together, after all, for everyone, this farce was very sudden and completely unexpected.
Even I didn't know that it was just so happened that memories would flood back at this time. After a while, the banquet was filled with the exchange of cups and chopsticks, and the noise of bowls and chopsticks colliding, as if a pair of big hands were silently gently erasing the crack just now.
But the confrontation between me and Yi Xin and my mother in the audience did not dissipate, I rushed out of the venue, I wanted to calm down, Yi Xin and my mother chased out, my mother's tone was as stern as a blade, since I graduated, this is the first time I have seen her so angry, just like I didn't write homework in junior high school, and my mother looked like my mother when I was found skipping class: "Chen Ye, you think this is home?!Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?!"
My voice was tired and hoarse, but I still asked persistently, "Mom, where is Xia Yan?" The disappointment in my mother's eyes exploded: "Gu Chenye, you either finish the wedding for me today, or you don't recognize me as a mother!"
I felt a hint of sarcasm, whether it was for myself, for the farce, or for the two women in front of me, my mother and Ishin, who was about to become my wife.
Xiao Jun calmed down the mood of the wedding guests a little, and after wishing the wedding master of ceremonies to stabilize the overall situation, he immediately rushed over to see how things were going.
Seeing my stiff and numb appearance, Xiao Jun was sympathetic and puzzled, and he was angry for a while: "Gu Chenye, your uncle is not sick, right?! This is your wedding, big brother! What position do you put in Yixin?! No matter how uncomfortable you are, you can't go wrong at this time! Is there anything that can't be solved by going back? Master doesn't believe that once you go back, everyone will die!"
I listened to Xiao Jun's words of hatred that iron is not steel, and smiled bitterly, I understood that Xiao Jun, my mother, and Yi Xin were all for my good, but why, I was kidnapped by them with love when I should have the right to know. Has anyone asked me? Does anyone understand my pain? My pain is no less than theirs.
Yi Xin, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted Xiao Jun: "Okay, Mom, okay, Xiao Jun, whatever he wants." ”
Yi Xin turned to me, his eyes were black, and he said to me as if he was talking to himself: "Gu Chenye, I did my best, if you still want to go to her, go ahead, I hope you don't regret it." "I've never seen such a deep Yixin, and my heart skipped a beat, as if a silk thread had been pulled from it, and a subtle and sharp pain was pressing into the bloodstream.
Yi Xin patted the gorgeous tail of the wedding dress, touched the veil with pity, raised her head again, looked at me fixedly, and said softly and resolutely: "Gu Chenye, you have thought about it." ”
My throat felt like it was full of broken glass shards, my mouth was full of blood, and I felt an urge to explain, and I opened my mouth silently, unable to say a word.
I just felt that the world was spinning, and the world was about to collapse in the next second, and I didn't stay any longer, like a scarred little beast suddenly appearing in the middle of the endless traffic, stumbling away from this place, every step was like desperately grasping at the unreachable illusion.
At the end of the memory, I still heard Yi Xin's crying voice behind me: "Gu Chenye, have you ever considered me? I'm just the most ordinary girl, why, why do you always put Xia Yan first in your heart and never see me?!" followed by sobbing and crying, followed by my mother and Xiao Jun's comforting words and the sound of walking, no matter how far away, I couldn't hear anything.
On the main road, where vehicles are rare, a speeding sedan vents its overflowing emotions instead of the driver.
The cold wind whistled into my chest and cut my face.
The mechanical work of the brain is meaningless, and the scene scurrying outside the car window is more like a mockery of the farce that was ridiculous a few minutes ago and makes people can't believe what really happened.
I was lost and determined. There was only one thought in my heart.
I'm going to escape, find Xia Yan, and find out the truth.
