Chapter Ninety-Three: Chubby and Summer's Wedding
On October 6, 2008, a landing wedding plaque in front of the door of an X hotel in J City read "Congratulations to Mr. Chubby and Ms. Summer on tying the knot, a hundred years of good union, and eternal marriage".
Follow the hotel signage inside, through the hotel lobby, then into the west passageway, then into a small corridor, then through the door at the end of the corridor, and then you will be greeted by an endless green lawn.
At a 45-degree angle to the southeast of this lawn is a hand-made wedding scene.
On either side of the middle sidewalk is a vase filled with pink stars every meter, and next to the vase are rows of guest seats. Each chair is covered with a white cover, a sky blue bow, and two pink balloons, which sway in the wind and are beautiful.
In front of the stage is a courtyard made of 999 red roses, and the wedding stage is composed of sky blue and white. The back wall of the stage is plastered with photos of the bride and groom from their high school days to the present tense.
Guests have arrived one after another, including their parents, their seven aunts, eight aunts, and friends from high school to college.
They all had a smile on their faces.
Li Haoyu has returned to his hometown in J City, the urban area of his hometown, from the city more than 300 kilometers away from his home ahead of schedule. And has come to the wedding scene. After graduating from college for four years, he did not directly choose employment, but was admitted to the graduate school of C University, where Xia and Chubby were located, and now, he is the only one still on his way to study.
Over the years, Li Haoyu has changed the most, not only has he become darker, but he has also lost weight. And his eyes are also short-sighted, and now he has become a veritable "four-eyed wolf".

"Fairy, you are so beautiful." Li Zhen is today's bridesmaid, she stood next to Summer in a white wedding photo, and sincerely appreciated.
Looking at the beautiful self in the mirror in the summer, I was also excited.
"Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, I'm going to get married." She sighed again.
"yes, we in that high school era vaguely seem like we were yesterday." Li Zhen also said.
"yes, where are you going all this time?" The two sighed and said in unison.
"Wow, our fairies deserve to be fairies, it's so beautiful." The two girls in a bridal dressing room on the first floor of the hotel, near the west, were still sighing, when they were suddenly disturbed by the sound of the intrusion, and they turned their eyes to the door.
"Smile, Leilei." Summer shouted happily as she looked at the two girls who broke in.
"Bride, you are so beautiful today, I want to kiss you when I see it." The one who spoke this time was Lei Lei herself, and the one just now was Wang Yixiao.
Lei Lei only came back from D City yesterday, and she didn't plan to come back after the eleventh holiday. And Wang Yixiao is even busier than Lei Lei, she also rushed back temporarily last night, and she will rush back to City B early tomorrow morning.
"I'm so happy you're all here. It would be nice if Keiko was here. Summer looked at them and said gloomily.
"Will Xiao Chen come back today?" Wang Yi smiled and held Summer's hand and asked softly.
"The fat man said he would come." Summer replied affirmatively.
"Didn't he hear about Li Huizi at all in H City all these years?" Lei Lei asked again.
"It seems that every time I ask him, I always don't say it, I guess he hasn't had a good time all these years, right? When he comes, let's stop talking about Huizi. "From Xiao Chen's point of view, the person who said these words was none other than Nurse Li Zhen.
Li Zhen has never bothered with him about her student days since she knew all these years about what Xiao Chen had done to find Li Huizi, and she now regards Xiao Chen as a relative from the bottom of her heart. Looking at him, she has been insisting on looking for Li Huizi all these years, and she is a little distressed in her heart.
The other three also acquiesced to Zhen'er's statement and nodded silently.

"The warm flowers of spring take away the sentimentality of winter, the breeze blows the romantic breath, every love song is suddenly full of meaning, I will meet you at this moment...... Marry me today, okay", Chubby and the fairy's wedding officially began with the sweet song of Tao Zhe's "Today You Want to Marry Me".
Summer took her father's arm and slowly walked to Chubby's side, only to see Chubby take Summer's hand from Summer's father, she was already excited and burst into tears, these were tears of happiness.
That year, the hazy and sensible me met the innocent you, and many years later, we finally came together because of love, what a beautiful thing to show off and share.
When the officiant of the wedding on the stage shouted "Please exchange rings between the bride and groom", a very handsome man in formal clothes walked out of the wedding scene gloomily.
With a heavy face, he walked aimlessly to a small lake behind the hotel, and leaned directly against the fence next to the lake.
"If she hadn't disappeared, the first couple to marry would have been me and her, right? Maybe we have both of our children by now......" He thought thoughtfully as the water in the lake rolled around the waves, and his face slowly darkened.
Over the years, whenever he was in the dead of night, he would hold a photo of him and her, and imagine the future of him and her beautifully, so that he could sleep peacefully.
Thinking about it, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, then took out one, nodded silently, looked at the lake with dull eyes, and smoked it on his lips.
After a while, the originally fresh air by the lake began to fill with the smell of smoke he exhaled.
"Xiao Chen."
While he was immersed in his thoughts and the smell of smoke, he heard someone calling him. He turned around slowly, and saw Wang Yixiao and Lei Lei.
He skillfully pinched off the unfinished half of the cigarette in his hand in the next second, and then threw it directly into the lake, and finally said slowly to the two girls: "Hello, long time no see." ”
"Well, yes, long time no see, is everything okay?" Wang Yixiao saw all Xiao Chen's small movements in her eyes, she looked at those melancholy eyes and asked softly.
"Well, it's still the same." Xiao Chen said, and then turned his gaze to the center of the lake.
"The wedding banquet is about to start, let's go in and have a drink, we haven't seen each other for many years, let's go in and catch up." Lei Lei said compassionately.
"Let's go." After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he smiled bitterly, and walked straight forward.
The two people in the back reluctantly glanced at each other and followed closely.

Chubby and Summer, a table of toasts took turns, and finally arrived at the table of their group of friends and high school classmates.
"Xiao Chen, we respect you, thank you for coming." It was today's bride who opened his mouth, he looked at Xiao Chen, who was sitting in the seat without saying a word, and was bowing his head and drinking wine and said softly.
"Come on, come on, congratulations, congratulations, you must be happy." Xiao Chen suddenly took a glass of white wine from his seat and said with a smile at Chubby and the fairy.
"Thank you...... Thank you, Xiao Chen, you ...... too Don't be discouraged, Li Huizi will definitely find it. Chubby had drunk a little too much and began to speak freely.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, and wiped out the glass of liquor in his hand.
Seeing this, Summer pinched Chubby's arm fiercely, and Chubby grinned in pain, "You...... You pinch me...... What are you doing", Summer glanced at Xiao Chen embarrassedly, and said to the other students: "Everyone eat and drink well, don't be polite." After saying that, he pulled the fat man and quickly escaped from the table.
"Come on, let's all have a drink, and I wish Chubby and Summer to grow old together." Lee Ming-che stood up from the table and said to these former friends.
Everyone happily stood up and started clinking glasses.
In the end, except for Xiao Chen, everyone else at this table was staggering.
Over the years, Xiao Chen has drunk alcohol alone, and the amount of alcohol has long been practiced.
In the end, each of them dragged today's protagonists, Chubby and Summer, to take all kinds of funny photos.

"How? Is the wedding over? Xiao Chen stood by the window of the hotel room, calling Leng Leng Leng and only listening to the concerned question on the other end of the phone.
In fact, his room is on the third floor of Chubby and Summer's wedding banquet. Chubby and Summer thought at that time, if the classmates whose home was not in the city were happy, and it was inconvenient to go back, they booked a room for each of these classmates in this hotel.
"Well, it's over." Xiao Chen replied silently.
"You didn't drink too much, did you?" Leng Leng asked again on the other end of the phone.
"No, I've been drinking wine as water all these years, hehe." Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Alas, you, ......, drink less in the future, don't abuse yourself." Leng Leng comforted on the other end of the phone.
"Leng Leng, you say, where has she been all these years? Why can't I find her? Xiao Chen asked on the other end of the phone, almost crying, his tone full of helplessness.
"Well, why do you bother? I believe that she is now living a good life in a city in this world. It's just that she doesn't want to see us yet, and I'm sure that one day, she'll come back. After all, her hometown is her roots, don't you say? The cold man on the other end of the phone sighed and comforted.
This question Leng Leng also asked himself over and over again in his heart, "Li Huizi, where did you go?" How have you been doing all these years? Do you really miss us at all? ”
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid she won't come back, I'm afraid I won't find her again in this life." After everyone on the other end of the phone finished speaking, they squatted on the ground and hid their faces in front of the phone and wept.
The fairies you care about the most are married, and she has already found her happiness, how can you not know the return date? The handsome young man squatting on the ground, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and the crying voice gradually became louder.
"Xiao Chen, you drank too much, let's sleep first." The person on the other end of the phone listened, and the crying on the other end of the phone became louder and louder, and he began to be anxious.
"I didn't drink much, I was sober, do you know how I've been all these years? I couldn't breathe every day in the pain of the moths I missed, and I even took sleeping pills for a while to be able to fall asleep. You say, why hasn't she contacted me for so many years? Is she really that ruthless? The person on the other end of the line almost collapsed and hung up.
"Alas, Xiao Chen, why are you doing this?" The coldness on the other end of the phone, looking at the hung up phone blankly, said sadly.
Acacia is a disease, and acacia is a pain that ordinary people can't understand.
