Chapter 57: I felt a tremor in my heart
It has been several months since the last charity dinner and butterfly meeting, Zhuang Yousheng thought that he had forgotten her a long time ago, but he didn't expect to see her today, and he suddenly felt very cordial in his heart, although today he came to the wedding as a relative of the woman, but this "pro" is really a little far, and he himself doesn't know how many layers of relationship he has.
Originally, he didn't want to come, but after thinking about it, this was the first wedding after returning to China, and he also wanted to see what the wedding was like now, so he came. I didn't expect to see butterflies, and the surprise was full of surprises.
Among the friends and relatives was a cousin of the bride's mother, who was just a young girl when he left China for the United States, and when he was a child, he came to his house to play and loved to watch him draw.
So here except for the mother of the bride, others are not very familiar with the reason is very simple, he has been wandering abroad for too many years, and there have been many changes in the family over the years, the old ones are gone, the new ones are born, and the faces of each family have changed dramatically, in the eyes of Zhuang Yousheng, he is basically a stranger.
He exchanged a few words of greeting with his cousin, who was old but still charming, and this was the first time he had seen this cousin whom he had not seen for many years, and she took his hand and said, "Why did you come alone?" β
He smiled and said, "I'm divorced." β
The old cousin looked a little embarrassed and said, "Yo, I don't know, I shouldn't ask." β
He said lightly: "It's okay, it's been many years." β
"I shouldn't be leaving this time when I go back to China, right?"
"Well, I'm not going to go."
"Okay, if you need any help, just ask me."
"Okay. Thank you and wish you a happy family. β
"You're welcome, please come insideβ" At this time, another group of elders came, a group of people helping the old and the young, there were seven or eight of them. The old cousin smiled and brought Zhuang Yousheng to the waiter to see the seat, and then quickly went to greet the new guests.
Zhuang Yousheng followed the seat card where the waiter had compared his name just now, and saw his name on a round table. After sitting down, all I could think about was the scene when I saw a butterfly when I entered the door. He stared at the doorway, as if trying to find the slender figure in the crowd.
After a while, the table he was at was already full of people, young and old, basically distant relatives, so everyone almost didn't know each other, eye contact for a while, and then they talked, among them there was a seemingly ancient old man, with silver hair, sitting there looking at the front of the wood carving clay sculpture, Zhuang Yousheng had the illusion that he had been looking at himself many times, but he felt inexplicably nervous.
A few of the children, who were not too tall to sit at the table, apparently unable to sit still, jumped out of their chairs in a moment and ran around curiously, while the young mother hurriedly followed behind and shouted, "Be careful, don't stain your clothes." β
It was a brand-new set of cotton clothes, with a bright red satin, lined with a red fluttering little face, moisturizing. The mother was probably afraid of his heat, so she chased after him in one step, hugged him, and then took off the cotton clothes, revealing the emerald green sweater inside, and a small bracelet of pure gold on the wrist, which was extremely conspicuous.
When the little boy ran in front of Zhuang Yousheng, he also looked at him, and then he probably felt that this person was too serious and boring, so he grimaced and jumped away again.
Zhuang Yousheng knew that his young mother had been staring at her son, and when she saw her son grimacing at him, she smiled at Zhuang Yousheng unapologetically. Zhuang Yousheng's face twisted slightly, he felt that he should have some smiles in response, but in fact, his face was still expressionless. The young mother turned her head away in amusement.
As the hall became more and more crowded, the nearby tables were almost full, and everyone was talking to each other, and the whole hall felt hot and full of laughter. Look at the welcome area where the newlyweds have left, and the staff are there to clean up. Butterflies have long been unaware of human figures.
For Zhuang Yousheng, the original image of butterflies in his heart was not good, and he even had a little disgust, he knew that it was because of Lin Motian. He hated to see Lin Motian when he was with her, Lin Motian always liked to take her with him, he always spoke so closely, and his expression was so ambiguous, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Lin Motian also likes to praise butterflies in front of everyone, saying how talented she is, at that time Zhuang Yousheng always felt that this talent was just a gimmick, she was just a girl who wanted to be a girl, relying on her young and beautiful, looking for a rich and powerful backer, to fill her vain and luxurious little world with a driver.
He hated such a woman from the bottom of his heart.
But after a few interactions, he felt that the image of butterflies in his heart was subtly changing, she didn't seem to be the kind of girl he originally thought, he felt that in her interaction with Lin Motian, there was also a little helplessness, and forced, her smile in front of people, with a little involuntarily, and lonely. This kind of loneliness from the heart is so similar to himself, which can't help but surprise him.
Beneath this girl's pure appearance, she has a deep and vast inner world, which cannot be seen through at a glance. He began to be curious, and felt that he was gradually becoming interested in her.
The wedding began, when the music sounded, the venue was quiet for a moment, the lights were dimmed, everyone focused their eyes on one place, where under the spotlight, it was the bride holding her father's arm, holding a white rose in her hand, with a happy smile on her face, the wedding dress was long and dragged on the carpet, two small champagne stood left and right, holding the wedding dress in her hand, the most wonderful moment of his life, he could vaguely appreciate the scene when he got married, although it was not the same as now, but the mood was the same, nervous, happy, full of imagination.
With the music, the bride slowly walked on the pre-laid red carpet, and there were people sprinkled with fragrant rose petals on both sides, and the bride stepped on the rose petals into everyone's sight and walked into the palace of her life.
I don't know when the veil has been lowered, faintly heavy, and the smile seems to come from his wife decades ago.
Zhuang Yousheng felt a tremor in his heart.
At this moment, in the dark crowd, he actually found a butterfly, and she was standing not far from the bride, observing all this intently.
After this glance, Zhuang Yousheng found that his gaze could no longer leave her.
Butterfly and JJ returned to their seats after the bride and groom walked on the stage and began the wedding ceremony, JJ leaned close to the root of Butterfly's ear and whispered, "Eat." Butterfly was already dizzy from hunger at this time, her limbs were weak, and she felt that she could be described as gobbling up the delicacies on the table, but fortunately, everyone didn't know her, so she couldn't care about so many images.
JJ didn't eat a few bites, he put down the chopsticks again, took the camera, and left the seat, after he left, the butterfly felt more comfortable, completely let go of the belly and eat, this day drank two bowls of red date longan soup, the butterfly swore that he would never want to drink any red date longan soup in the future.
The ceremony of the newlyweds was long and tedious, and after a few rounds of binge eating, the butterflies began to feel tired caused by fullness, and sat there, the whole person was lazy. I am not very interested in which ceremony is being performed on the stage, although from time to time the master of ceremonies will provoke some interesting topics, which will cause everyone in the audience to laugh, but the butterfly's whole heart is no longer concerned about the couple, but the Zhuang Yousheng.
As soon as the doorway parted, he disappeared from the eyes of the butterfly, as if a grain of sand had been thrown into the sand at once. Yes, there are only 3,000 Ganges sands in life, and you and I are only one of them.
