CHAPTER XXXIV
thirty-four
Five days passed quickly, Yu Yu and Tang Wei have been living in Qiao Mosheng's house in the past few days, Yu Yu is because of Qiao Mosheng's previous promise, and Tang Wei was persuaded by Yu Yu's "toughness" to leave a nuisance, early in the morning of January 1, before the sky was clear, the three of them drove to Shen Tongyu's maiden address, running for Qiao Mosheng's bridesmaid position.
It stands to reason that whenever someone gets married, the newlyweds are as happy as possible, the more bridesmaids and groomsmen, the better, and they wish to make up eight pairs of men and women, but Shen Tongyu's bridesmaids only chose Qiao Mosheng, as for the reason, many people have a mirror in their hearts. The early morning of the wedding day was more busy than expected, the women were busy with makeup, the men were busy with the wedding car makeup that could not be completed the day before, before arriving at the wedding scene, Qiao Mosheng almost did his duty as a bridesmaid, Yu Yu was afraid that she would see Shen Tongyu's feelings fluctuate, so she was stunned to pull her to another room to help do some trivial things, even when the groom came to his mother's house to pick up Shen Tongyu, Yu Yu dragged Qiao Mosheng's wrist throughout the whole process, for fear that Qiao Mosheng would be called to go forward if he was not careful.
Fortunately, no one was able to pick on the people present, and Shen Tongyu didn't have time to take care of Qiao Mosheng, in the midst of the joy and laughter in the room, Qiao Mosheng felt that a qiē was so unreal, a couple of newcomers who were surrounded by everyone in the center of the crowd, the man's face was full of achievement and joy, and the woman stood beside him with a slightly shy and gentle smile, and this kind of warmth that once made people extremely attached to it was dazzling in Qiao Mosheng's eyes today, although it was dazzling, it was also extraordinarily dazzling, it seemed that in the past, she once had, but how long it was, Qiao Mosheng can't say it clearly, and the way is not clear, just like a world away, and like yesterday. One of her hands was dragged by Yu Yu's wrist, and the other was held by Tang Wei beside her, interlocking with her fingers, holding tightly in her hands, when Qiao Mosheng frowned, when was in a daze, when he pulled the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a smile, Tang Wei saw it clearly on the side, in the whole laughter, the heartache was definitely not one person.
"Let's go to the hotel, let's go......"
When the couple was hugged by relatives and friends into the wedding car, Tang Wei and Yu Yu glanced at each other and shook the hand that shook with Qiao Mosheng.
"Hmm."
A short syllable, without dragging mud and water, Qiao Mosheng drove in a car of three people and followed the convoy to the venue where the wedding was to be held.
On the red carpet at the wedding scene, Qiao Mosheng had nowhere to hide, the person in front of him was dressed in a white wedding dress, which looked dazzling and moving under the glorious light of the hall, Shen Tongyu's arm was gently carried on the slightly bent arm of his father beside him, and with the beat of the march, he slowly walked to the person standing at the other end of the red carpet smiling and waiting.
one-step
- "Tongyu, in the future, I will hold your hand and walk on the red carpet, even if there are not too many people's blessings, I am willing!" ”
- "Fool's ......"
Qiao Mosheng's hand holding the hem of the white gauze skirt trembled a little,
Two steps,
- "Tongyu, if you don't have the blessing of your relatives, would you like to walk this red carpet with me?" ”
- "Fool's ......"
Three steps,
- "Tongyu, you promise me that one day you will walk a long red carpet with me, okay?" ”
- "Mo Sheng......"
- "Don't say anything else, just promise me!" ”
――“…… Good. ”
Yes, as you said, I am a fool, a complete fool, you have obviously chosen the blessings of everyone, but I still deceive myself and refuse to let go completely, once the red carpet in the blueprint is under my feet, but after this journey, I will send you to the arms of others. But what about you? Since you have already chosen the blessings you deserve, why should you care about the promise you made to me in desperation?
The color in front of him was blurred by tears, and the red carpet under his feet was no longer so bright and gorgeous, Qiao Mosheng finally let go of the gauze skirt in his hand after taking a deep breath and stood in place.
"Mo Sheng?"
Feeling the weight of the hem of the gauze skirt after it landed, Shen Tongyu, who was walking in the center of the red carpet, turned around and looked at Qiao Mosheng who was standing two steps away from him with his head lowered in surprise, and even Shen Tongyu's father, who was walking on the side, also turned around, staring in surprise at the bridesmaid who was decided by his daughter's "thousands of choices", and the groom standing at the end of the red carpet was even more unaware of why, it was not good to act rashly in front of so many guests, so he had to continue to wait there anxiously, praying that his bride could come to his side quickly,
"Mo Sheng?"
Seeing that Qiao Mosheng lowered her head and didn't react, Shen Tongyu lowered her voice and called her again, just as she was about to step towards the person who was standing, Qiao Mosheng finally raised his head to stop her,
"Don't come here!"
"Silent... Sheng......"
When she saw Qiao Mosheng, who raised her head, crawling with tears on her face but squeezing out the smiling face to herself, Shen Tongyu's heart sank, and the end of the flower ball in her hand was held tightly, she only felt that the air around her was a little suffocating.
"Tongyu, thank you for fulfilling your promise to me," Qiao Mosheng sniffed and continued that reluctant smile, "But it's enough, at this point, I'm already very satisfied, you should continue to move forward, you shouldn't look back and linger behind you, and I should completely cut off the red carpet under my feet, and no longer have any extravagant thoughts." I'm sorry, Kiriyu, I can't continue to be your bridesmaid. ”
Qiao Mosheng finished saying these words in a trembling voice, and then bowed deeply to Shen Tongyu's father, who was frowning and looking at this qiē in front of him, to express his apologies for the wedding disturbance, and then turned around and walked out of the wedding hall quickly without looking back.
The departure of the bridesmaids made the guests present in an uproar, but fortunately, under the cover of the march, Qiao Mosheng's words did not reach the ears of the fourth person, and the host of ceremonies also hurriedly joked after a short period of stunned:
"Oops, why did the bridesmaids run away? It must be that the faucet at home forgot to turn off, this flowing water is flowing money, today is January 1, the beginning of the year, the bridesmaids are probably afraid that they will have bad luck this year before they hurry back, what a realistic girl~"
Under the circle of the emcee's exaggerated statements, the guests began to laugh, and soon, another girl stepped forward to hold up the bride's gauze dress, and the wedding continued in the music, as if the interlude had never happened.
Tang Wei wanted to chase him out immediately after seeing Qiao Mosheng leave, but was stopped by Xue Li, who was sitting next to him from the moment she entered the arena, and held her wrist:
"Tang Wei, wait a minute, come with me, it's rare for us to see each other once, I have a lot to talk to you about, as for Qiao ...... Just let Yu Yu chase after it, it'll be fine, don't worry. ”
"This ......"
Xue Li's attitude was a bit tough, Tang Wei said that her friendship with her was not deep, and it was not for nothing that she said it was shallow, there was really no good reason to refuse, in front of so many people, Yu Yu was not good at tearing her face, so she got up and patted Tang Wei comfortingly:
"Weiwei, you stay here first, I'll take a look."
"Well... Call me quickly if there's anything. ”
I don't know why, Tang Wei is always a little uneasy in her heart, Xu is Qiao Mosheng's usual impression on her is too calm, and it is a little incompatible with this sudden runaway, the contrast formed by this is a bit abrupt, which makes her difficult to accept for a while, Tang Wei comforted herself so much, watching Yu Yu pick up her bag and quietly leave the venue quickly.
Qiao Mosheng drove away directly after leaving the hotel, running aimlessly on the streets of the city, several of Yu Yu's calls on his mobile phone were all ignored, until a music different from ordinary ringtones sounded, Qiao Mosheng wiped his eyes and lowered the speed of the car.
"Mom... Is there something wrong......"
How do you say that, the house leak coincides with the overnight rain, people have to have something unpleasant, drink cold water and stuff their teeth, Qiao Mosheng usually doesn't like to receive calls from Qiao's mother, because Qiao's mother always says three words and is annoying - Bai Weijin.
"Hey, Shengsheng, are you busy? Mom has something to tell you. ”
"Not busy, you say."
Qiao Mosheng found a place to park, pulled over and turned off the car.
"That's the case, your Uncle Bai has found someone for you, I want you to meet, the conditions are good, and the age is not much older than you, do you see if you can find time to meet today?"
Qiao's mother was so focused on talking about the little things she was worried about, and she didn't hear anything wrong with Qiao Mosheng's voice at all.
“…… Mother. ”
Just listening to that person's name, Qiao Mosheng hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, this time it's good, this person even gave himself a "good errand", Qiao Mosheng couldn't wait to come to the door to thank his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, what do you mean, you can't play and still want to give it to others, right?! I have to say that as long as she hears a few words related to Bai Weijin, she will become very irrational and completely disregard her own image.
With just one syllable, Qiao's mother understood Qiao Mosheng's intention to refuse, and hurriedly accompanied the laughter and coaxed and deceived:
"Shengsheng, if you listen to your mother, you should go through the motions, and set off a ten-twenty-point one, and your Uncle Bai's mother can explain it, otherwise you will refuse like this, and your Uncle Bai will not feel that he has been pouted!"
“……”
Qiao Mosheng was silent, his free hand was on the steering wheel, and because he was too forced, his nails sank into the holster wrapped around the steering wheel, leaving a lot of marks.
"Shengsheng? You... Alas, forget it, if you don't want to go, don't go......"
After a long time, Qiao's mother saw that Qiao Mosheng had no intention of responding, sighed, and planned to give up.
Just when Qiao's mother was about to hang up the phone, Qiao Mosheng suddenly relented:
"Time, address, phone call."
As soon as she agreed, Qiao's mother was very relieved on the other end of the phone, so happy that crow's feet piled up in the corners of her eyes, and she praised her again and again, and told Bai Weijin not to lose face for a long time, and then hung up the phone and sent the person's information and the time and place of the meeting to Qiao Mosheng's mobile phone by text message.
If it weren't for taking care of his mother, Qiao Mosheng wouldn't have agreed to this kind of errand, the meeting time written on the text message was set at two o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Mosheng looked at the time, it was already past twelve o'clock, the place was not close to his location, if he wanted to go home and rush over again, he was afraid that it would be too late, no matter what relationship the other party had with him, what channel he was in contact with, in terms of getting along with people, Qiao Mosheng never liked to be late, but fortunately, the clothes she brought were put in the car, This also avoided her wearing a pink x tender bridesmaid dress to meet the so-called "blind date", Qiao Mosheng found a nearby shopping mall, went into the bathroom to change the bridesmaid dress on her body, and by the way, changed the makeup on her face slightly, and tidied it up, she stared at her delicate but cold face in the mirror without any expression for a long time, and finally the corners of her lips outlined a touch of helplessness and mockery, and turned around and left with her things-
