Chapter 68: A Concerto of Love

When he was having dinner with Lu Li at home, Gu Zijin sent a WeChat message: "Zhen Zhen, my wedding dress and your bridesmaid dress have arrived, you come to the wedding dress shop now, and bring your Lu Li by the way." ”

I quickly replied: "What are you doing with Lu leaving?" ”

"Jianghu emergency." After Gu Zijin replied to these four words, he quickly sent another line of words, "My family Yaoyao has been on a business trip for the past few days, and I need help trying on his dress." ”

I see.

I put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Lu Li, who had just finished eating: "Zijin is trying on the wedding dress, let's go over and have a look together." ”

Lu Li stood up and consciously cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, "Don't go, you try on wedding dresses, what am I doing as a big boy?" ”

I knew that Lu Li would not agree to go, so I had to change my routine, "I also want to try on a wedding dress, don't you want to see how I look in a wedding dress?" ”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes, "It turns out that you can't wait to marry me so much." ”

Haha, let's take it.

If Lu Li knew that I called him to help Chen Yao try on dresses, he would definitely regret stepping into this bridal shop.

The scene in the bridal shop was a little chaotic, Gu Zijin and Wang Ning were wearing wedding dresses, touting each other's better; Anne gestured to the clerk in her bridesmaid dress, hoping to tighten her waist a little more; Gu Zipei stood in front of the fitting mirror, wearing a bow tie awkwardly.

Seeing me and Lu Li coming in, Gu Zijin walked over excitedly with a skirt in one hand and a blue dress in the other, "It's great that Lu Li can come, Chen Yao is on a business trip, you can help him try this dress." ”

After Lu Li knew that he had been deceived by me, he unexpectedly cast a resentful glance at me. He pointed to the dress, not very happy and helpless to complain, "Why should I try it?" Isn't that okay with your brother? ”

Gu Zijin glanced at Gu Zipei who was still struggling with how to tie the bow tie with disgust, "That guy's appearance is too low, I want to think about it, and only you can be compared to my family Yaoyao, so of course I have to look for you." ”

Gu Zipei snorted inwardly, "What are you talking about?" Don't forget that we were born by a mother, and I am ugly and you are ugly. ”

Gu Zijin didn't bother to reply, stuffed his clothes into Lu Li's arms, and forced him into the men's locker room without allowing him to refuse.

Gu Zijin dragged the long skirt over again, "Zhen Zhen, let's try on your bridesmaid dress." ”

In the women's locker room, I was holding a champagne-colored bandeau dress, struggling with which one was the front.

Anne was speechless and helped me straighten the front, "Zhenzhen, haven't you worn this dress?" ”

I shook my head, "Who usually has nothing to do and bare half of their breasts outside." ”

"I remember a few years ago, Zhen Zhen asked Lu to leave the playground to confess, and she didn't even dare to wear a knee-length skirt." Gu Zijin brought up the old story again.

"Zhen Zhen, when are you and Lu Li going to have a wedding?" Wang Ning asked.

"Yes, yes," Gu Zijin took my hand and his eyes lit up, "Why don't you join us, how romantic it is for our three girlfriends to get married together." ”

"Lu Li hasn't mentioned marriage to me yet!" I lifted my bandeau up as much as I could, but I still showed a large area of snow-white skin, turned my head and said awkwardly, "It's so exposed." ”

But the three of them didn't care about the second half of my sentence at all, Wang Ning took the lead in asking me: "You two have met your parents, haven't Lu Li proposed to you yet?" ”

Anne then asked, "Isn't he planning some big surprise?" ”

Gu Zijin shook his head, "With my understanding of Lu Li, he shouldn't do such a vulgar thing as a marriage proposal." Zhen Zhen, let me tell you, if Lu Li doesn't propose to you, don't be stupid enough to marry him. Girls only have such a wedding once in their lives, and the sense of ceremony is very important, but they can't leave that kid cheaply. ”

Is it ceremonial?

If Lu Li and I were just a young couple who had been in love for a year or two, maybe I would still care about those so-called rituals.

But Lu Li and I have silently liked each other for ten years, and the deep affection in these ten years is not supported by the superficial sense of ritual, but the tacit understanding we have cultivated.

"I don't care about the marriage proposal, I just care about being able to hold hands with him for the future."

As a result, the three of them showed disgusting expressions at the same time.

When I walked out of the locker room, Lu Li was already waiting for me outside the door in his dress.

He is about the same size as Chen Yao, so this groom's dress fits him very well, it's not that I haven't seen Lu Li in a suit, but this is the first time I have worn such a ladylike skirt in front of Lu Li, and I am a little shy and afraid to approach him at this moment.

Gu Zijin and the others mischievously pushed me in front of Lu Li, and deliberately asked loudly: "Lu Li, do you think Zhen Zhen is good-looking?" ”

Lu Li looked at me quietly for a while, his eyes suddenly fixed on the large patch of skin exposed on my chest, and then his cheeks suddenly flushed two crimson.

I saw that Lu Li was shy, and suddenly wanted to tease him, so I threw a wink at him, "Am I beautiful?" ”

Lu Li turned his head unnaturally, "I think you still look the best when you wear a school uniform." ”

“......”

A week later, the wedding of the Gu family sister and brother was held as scheduled.

Because the two couples were married at the same time, more people came to the wedding than any other wedding I had ever attended.

Gu Zijin and Wang Ning stood in the backstage of the auditorium, and the two peeked at the dense crowd in the hall, and they all became nervous.

Gu Zijin took my hand and stomped his feet, "Zhenzhen, I kind of want to go to the toilet." ”

I looked at the time, and there was still some time for the divorce to start, so I lifted her long skirt and accompanied her to the bathroom.

I stood outside the toilet and uneasily lifted the skirt on my chest in front of the mirror, then turned on the faucet and washed my hands.

At this time, a figure in a white shirt walked out of the men's bathroom, and the man was stunned at first when he saw me, and quickly showed me a gentlemanly smile, "Zhenzhen, long time no see." ”

"Pei Xuan, long time no see."

Gu Zijin mentioned to me that Chen Yao's best man was Pei Xuan, but I didn't take this sentence to heart at that time.

Pei Xuan carefully handed me a piece of paper to wipe my hands, "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been about half a year." ”

"Thanks," I said, "how are you doing?" ”

"I applied to be transferred to the operating department, so I basically took it with me in the operating room every day, which was quite busy."

Although Pei Xuan didn't say why he changed from a relaxed consultation room to a busy operating department, I vaguely guessed that it might be because of our breakup.

I was a little ashamed, and I was silent for a long time before I slowly spoke, "Pei Xuan, although you don't like to hear it, I still want to say sorry to you." ”

Pei Xuan habitually reached out to rub my hair, but his hand stopped in mid-air and hesitated for a few seconds before taking it back, "Fool, I'm fine." ”

"Thank you, Pei Xuan."

At this time, Gu Zijin called me for help in the toilet.

When I turned around and pushed open the toilet door, Pei Xuan suddenly asked me, "Zhenzhen, have you ever liked me?" Even a little. ”

I looked at Pei Xuan with a little expectant look, and convinced myself in my heart that it would be okay to tell a lie.

But I can't fool myself, and I don't want to deceive Pei Xuan anymore, "I used to have a heart for you, but that's not liking." ”

Pei Xuan smiled with relief, "Zhen Zhen, I was willing to let go of your hand in the hope that you could live a better life, I wish you and Lu Li happiness!" ”

One of my favorite songs to be sung at Mayday's concert is "Tenderness (Return You Free Version)", in which Ashin's slightly hoarse monologue lingers over the stage for a long time amid the falling paper flowers, saying,

If you say to me that you want a flower, then I will give you a flower. If you say to me that you want a planet, then I will give you a planet. If you tell me that you want a snow, then I will give you a snow. If you say to me that you are leaving, I will not force it, I will not keep it, just because I want to give you the last tenderness. I will say to you, I give you freedom, I give you freedom...... I'll give you all of your freedom.

I think Pei Xuan's letting go is his last tenderness to me.

The stage lights dimmed and the wedding began. The spotlight hit the two pairs of brides standing at the end of the red carpet, and the soft piano melody slowly sounded, and in the sound of music, Gu Zijin and Wang Ning respectively held their respective fathers and walked towards the center of the stage.

Anne and I sat next to the stage.

Anne turned her head and whispered to me, "Is it really okay for Lu Li to play in front of so many people today?" ”

When trying on the wedding dress a few days ago, Gu Zijin specially asked Lu Li to play a song for her and Gu Zipei's wedding. Originally, I was worried that Lu Li's illness was not completely cured, but when I saw him sitting next to the piano at the moment, he was exuding a calm light, just like the confident appearance at the school orientation party back then.

Lu Li played Beethoven's "To Alice", and it is said that Beethoven was inspired by a girl named Alice. She asked for help from an elderly man who was blind to see the forest and the sea. Beethoven was so moved by this that he played a beautiful piece of music for the old man on Christmas Eve, and listened to it, and the music made the old man see: "The snowy peaks of the Alps, the waters around Tahiti, the seagulls, the forests, the dazzling sun." So the old man closed his eyes with satisfaction, and there was no longer loneliness and pity. After that, Beethoven dedicated the piece to the kind girl Alice.

When Lu Li was practicing at home, I asked him why he chose this as his wedding song.

He looked at me and made no secret of his love for me, "Because, I want to give this song to my Alice, and you are the Alice who brings me warmth and light." ”

Thinking of Lu Li's words, I unconsciously raised the corners of my mouth, "No problem, I believe him." ”

Because he is Lu Li, the best Lu Li in the world.

Soon, in the midst of everyone's congratulations, the romantic wedding came to an end.

When I accompanied Gu Zijin to change his clothes and returned to the banquet hall, Lu Li, who was dressed in a white suit, happened to be standing not far from me, looking at me gently.

I looked at Lu Li who was walking slowly towards me, watching his face gradually become clear under the bright light, with starry eyebrows and a shallow smile, at this moment I suddenly understood that he was not just Lu Li. He is my vanished girlhood, those glorious past years, the witness, participant, and creator of my most beautiful youth.

At this moment, the distance between us is our long youth. Fortunately, we have not missed each other's youth, my youth has you, and your youth has me.
