Tuesday, October 6, 2017.

The National Day holiday is not over yet, and Yanguang City, as a tourist city, ushered in the last wave of short-term tourist crowds, and the streets and alleys were full of joy.

Yanguang City is close to the sea, there are many seagulls on the beach that are not afraid of people, and when the sun rises, the whole sea has a quiet and magnificent beauty. In the past few days of National Day, I don't know how many couples have married here and taken happy photos.

Before the morning fog dissipated, Li Nan was woken up by the makeup artist. She fiddled with her long, messy hair—the straight one that had been hot and curly the night before, was now a little wool in thin curls, which made her cheeks even sharper.

"Gotta hurry, we can't miss the good times." The makeup artist was sent by the wedding company and urged him.

The door was pushed open again, and a woman in a bathrobe ran in: "Nan'er, good morning, I was still sighing with them yesterday, even you are getting married, and the child in our dormitory is finally getting married!" At that time, we thought you were unmarried, and you were focused on your career......"

The sink is filled with jars and jars, some of which are of great value. Li Nan was engrossed in washing his face in the mirror, letting his college roommate Wang Qianqian next to him chatter.

"As a result, you are good, and you caught a golden beetle son-in-law without making a sound!"

"Yes," Li Nan smiled very lightly, "I'll ask him if he will lay golden eggs when I go back." ”

"Seriously, you've done a good job of secrecy, and you didn't even tell us about your relationship!" Wang Qianqian was surprised when she heard Li Nan's bridesmaid invitation on the phone-

I can't tell why she was surprised why she was asked to be a bridesmaid, after all, her relationship with Li Nan was not very warm before; I was still surprised that Li Nan, a famous ice beauty on campus, chose to step into marriage early.

"Did I call you to inform you that I was in love?"

"No," Wang Qianqian was looking for the pair of high heels to be worn everywhere, "You don't want to make an announcement on the circle of friends, let alone falling in love, you won't send it when you get married, it's too low-key!" ”

"I don't have any habit of posting on Moments."

This is true, in the four years of college, Li Nan has posted only a few times on Moments, and she can only see a few when she clicks on her homepage, some books she has read, music she has heard, and that's it.

"Okay, okay, we all know anyway." Wang Qianqian smiled and peeled a candy and stuffed it into her mouth, saying some pleasantries that were not brainy, but she had a faint weirdness about this wedding in her heart.

Not to mention that they had studied the chapter "Micro Expressions" proposed by the American psychologist Paul Ekman in 1969 in college, even those who are keenly observant can also find that Li Nan's face is not a little happy.

To be precise, she even looked a little uneasy, and there was a small but irrepressible tremor in her eyebrows, as if her whole person was in some kind of fear.

Noticing Wang Qianqian's scrutiny, Li Nan put down her eyebrow pencil: "I haven't painted for a long time, and my hands are a little raw." I almost forgot that there was a makeup artist today. ”

Li Nan changed into a set of bride's wedding dresses, not wedding dress styles, but Chinese-style wedding dresses, embroidered with chic gold threads at the cuffs. As soon as she wore this red dress, it suddenly reflected a little blood on her pale face.

"It's good-looking, it's so good-looking."

Li Nan went to open the door and invited the makeup artist and photographer to come in, and the photographer wanted to take some pictures before sending off his relatives.

When Li Nan was putting on makeup, Wang Qianqian couldn't help but start looking at this home. It was too late for her to get here from the airport last night, and she didn't have time to wash up and go straight to sleep.

Looking around now, I see that the room is empty, and there is a TV set on the old TV cabinet. This TV looks very old, and there is a huge "butt" on the style, this kind of CRT TV has long been eliminated now, and ordinary families will also use LCD TVs.

"Is this when you were a kid? So cute! "There is a large washed out photo hanging on the TV wall cabinet, which is a child about four or five years old, with short hair and only a pair of smart big eyes, which is very similar to Li Nan.

"No, that's my brother."

"Your brother? You're not an only child? ”

"Don't move," the makeup artist broke Li Nan's face who wanted to turn his head, "The eyeliner will be crooked later." ”

"Yes—" Li Nan stiffened his neck and spoke, "He is twelve years younger than me, and he is still in school, attending boarding school." ”

Wang Qianqian hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." They slept together for four years, and they only knew that Li Nan's parents died in a traffic accident, and she was an orphan, so she rarely mentioned the elders in the family in front of Li Nan. Unexpectedly, she actually had a younger brother.

And Li Nan never mentioned this matter.

"Then today is your wedding, why didn't you see him?"

"He was only in his second year of junior high school, and he had a three-day holiday on National Day, and his studies were intense, so I didn't let him come." Li Nan said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, even the makeup artist was a little surprised. On such a happy day, not to mention other relatives, the closest relatives at home should always be notified and accompanied by the long red carpet.

"Then the elders of your family ......," Wang Qianqian said cautiously.

Li Nan said softly: "My grandmother will come, she is old, and she went to the hotel in advance." ”

At this time, Wang Qianqian had already walked to the door of another room: Li Nan's house is a three-bedroom and two-living room, and after she got off the plane last night, she slept in a guest bedroom that had not been lived in for a long time, while Li Nan lived in the master bedroom, so the remaining room should be her brother's room.

Wang Qianqian subconsciously twisted the handle.

The door clicked and did not open.

The door was locked from the outside.

Wang Qianqian felt even more weird, if it was an adolescent child, with a sense of privacy, it would be understandable to lock the door when she was in the room. But no one is there, but the door has to be locked so tightly, for what? What is the state of this sister and brother living in such a big house?

She left the corridor and looked back, Li Nan, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror in the master bedroom, raised her neck, and cooperated with the movements of the makeup artist, like a crested ibis jumping in flames. After watching it for a long time, you will feel that it is a soulless puppet that is manipulated to perform on the stage.

- How can a polygraph detector who is just in his youth, about to get married, and who works for a well-known third-party polygraph agency in the industry, be a puppet? Wang Qianqian laughed in her heart that she had read too many suspense novels, and there were always some unrealistic dramatic plots.

Compared with my own gratuitous associations, there are more important things to do right now.

As soon as Li Nan put on the phoenix crown, the doorbell outside the door rang.

It is the groom and the groomsmen who come, and there is a local custom of blocking the door to receive relatives. Li Nan's bridesmaid only invited one Wang Qianqian, so she felt a great responsibility, and waved to block the door with the photographer.

"Who are you picking up? Name the groom's five exclusive titles for the bride, one less to be served with a red envelope! ”

The people outside the door burst into laughter and shouted, "Baby! Good boy! Baby! ”

"And what?!"

There are very few people on Wang Qianqian's side, but the scene was immediately a little lively by her, and she asked some regular questions: such as the bride's birthday, the ups and downs of love. Those people outside the door, whether they answered right or wrong, all passed red envelopes through the cracks in the door.

As soon as the door opened, the groomsmen rushed up, and at the end was the groom holding a large bouquet of flowers, also wearing a Chinese-style suit, his hair was combed all up, and he looked thoughtful and wore a pair of glasses.

In the room, Li Nan sat on the bed with a red cover, and beside her was a slender red umbrella.

According to local customs, a married woman must always carry a red umbrella after going out until she gets into the wedding car.

Then came the delight and the search for shoes, and everywhere there were cheers and shrill laughter: "Where can these shoes be hidden?" Auntie, give me some clues! ”

"It can't be hidden in the TV! How can we find this! ”

A reckless groomsman shouted, "Eh, there's a locked room here, can't the shoes be in there?!" ”

Wang Qianqian noticed that Li Nan's figure on the bed seemed to shake, and hurriedly waved her hand: "I'll give you a clue, in the highest place!" ”

The shoe was hidden in the air-conditioning cabinet.

There was another burst of laughter.

After looking for shoes, the groom brought a glass of wine to the black and white photo of the living room, which showed a middle-aged man with a thin face, black hair a little thin, and a cramped smile because it was a photo. This is an introverted and cautious person.

The groom spilled the wine on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Dad, then I will take Nan Nan away, and I will take good care of her." ”

Then it was time to get into the wedding car, Wang Qianqian helped with the umbrella with one hand and Li Nan with the other, and the latter's hands were sweaty. When she arrived on the third floor of the hotel, Wang Qianqian was nervous about being a bridesmaid for the first time, so she couldn't hold back her smoke and ran into the bathroom of the hotel.

When she returned to the scene, she was very surprised to find -

The bride is gone.
