CHAPTER XXVI
October 14. It is the wedding of Zheng Mengqi and Liang Jing.
The venue was chosen as the only open-air hotel with a beach in Yi City.
However, according to local customs, the groom needs to go to his mother-in-law's house to pick up his daughter-in-law and children, and then return to his new home to meet his in-laws.
Zhao Yiran and the other three bridesmaids only slept for two or three hours last night, and they followed Zheng Mengqi to clean up and dress up in the early morning.
The auspicious time is coming soon, the car to pick up the relatives is already on the way, the bride Zheng Mengqi is dressed in a gorgeous Xiuhe sitting on the bed in the master bedroom, and the four bridesmaids are already waiting at the closed door of the house to block the door.
Although there are a lot of people blocking the door in the house, it can't help but hang a heart, after all, the more difficult it is for the man's relatives and friends on the woman's side, the more careful the baby bride is.
The confrontation between the two sides began, Zhao Yiran's height was the weakest in this group of people, and the other bridesmaids were all cousins' volleyball teammates.
At the moment, he is being pushed by the person behind him, and his feet can't use any strength, but he looks like a "meat patty" caught in the crowd.
The people over there have gradually pushed open a small crack, and the woman has also moved with difficulty with the opening and closing of the door, and she can't care about the image at this time, as long as she can insist on not falling on the ground and showing her appearance.
There is a wedding planner next to the side to control the situation, after all, you can't stalemate for too long, it's not good to miss the auspicious time, and it's a symbol, and you don't need to fight for who wins and who loses.
Finally, the door was pushed open. The "heavy wall" behind the woman suddenly loosened, coupled with the pressure on the man's side, the already unstable center of gravity felt bad and felt like it was about to fall backwards.
Before he could make any saving moves, the door had been rudely squeezed open, and the best man who had just entered the head was halfway in, and he quickly stretched out his arm to the side and tightly grabbed the forearm of the opposite woman.
The panicked woman raised her eyes and saw that it was Dong Fang. No wonder the tactile sensation is familiar.
In fact, he didn't know that the woman might be knocked down in the next second, but he saw it when he hit the door just now, and he was afraid that he would touch her with no light or heavy force, so he subconsciously stretched out his arm to support her.
On the big day of the wedding of a good buddy, as the best man, he must be attentive but also want to protect her silently in private.
With the continuous influx of people, the woman who was grabbed by the arm was caught in the flow of people with him, and the man skimmed the pair of high heels on Zhao Yiran's feet, a little brain-scratching, but there was no way, and quickly said, "Pay more attention to yourself." ”
After that, he let go and returned to the best man team to marry the bride.
And Zhao Yiran's mood at this time was just calming down like a roller coaster.
The master of ceremonies has explained the various processes very clearly before, so it went smoothly today. After the location, a few bridesmaids accompanied the large group to the couple's home, and finally arrived at the hotel where the ceremony was held.
After arriving at the hotel, Zhao Yiran followed another bridesmaid to stand at the door of the lobby and help the couple receive guests together.
Dong Fang, who had been standing on Liang Jing's side for a long time, saw the woman coming over and standing on the side, quietly looking at it by the natural light outside.
I've been busy with the process just now, and although I met her, I didn't carefully observe what she was wearing today.
It was the first time he had seen it, a gray gauze skirt, and the skirt at the bottom of the skirt hung directly to the top of his feet. The tailor-made size outlines the woman's narrow waist more perfectly and enchantingly. The square neckline design on the top shows off the superior neck line.
Her hair was simply tied into a low ponytail, and the whole thing was just right, and she didn't steal the limelight from the bride at all.
Now standing quietly in the corner, it is very low-key.
The guests came and went, Dong Fang weighed it, and finally moved his steps and leaned in, stopping on Zhao Yiran's left.
"If you're tired, lean in a little."
The man's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear him.
Zhao Yiran turned his head sideways, and saw that the man in a black suit was still looking in the direction of the visitor, and when he was stunned just now, he seemed to hear his voice, and he didn't know if it was an auditory hallucination.
Just as he was hesitating, another whisper sounded in his ears.
"Aren't you tired of standing so tall?"
Dong Fang put away his gaze and turned his head to look at her, with a gentle expression.
"If you're tired, just rely on it for a while."
But there was no movement next, just the man's right arm behind his back, leaning towards his side, probably because he wanted to let himself borrow strength, and he would stand a little easier.
It may be the sudden gaze on the eyes, or it may be these few short words, Zhao Yiran suddenly felt a hot tremor in his heart, and the tiredness in his body suddenly eased, and he raised the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
Such a hidden style is not like him at all.
This subtlety is a bit like the sneaky feeling of middle school, which no one else knows.
-------------------------------------
Soon after, the bride and groom were taken back to their respective lounges to rest and await the wedding ceremony later. Zhao Yiran, they can leave even if they stand a little longer.
In fact, Dong Fang stood beside her, she felt a lot more relieved, and it became their task to greet the guests after the protagonist left, and she has never been good at dealing with strangers.
The man is here, she just needs to smile and welcome her, and the rest of the words will be spoken for her.
After a while, Zheng Mengyao, who was originally entertaining guests at the seat, trotted out with her mobile phone, looking a little hurried.
Zhao Yiran asked with concern, but she only said "pick up someone" and sent it away.
When I saw her appear at the door again, there was Chen Wan next to her.
For a moment, the woman's smile froze there, not knowing what to react next.
At this time.
Jiang Eryang, who had just come over to join in the fun, blurted out, "Brother-in-law." It made Zhao Yiran feel even more embarrassed.
Dong Fang, the only outsider who was present and knew the truth, dealt with it most naturally, and when he approached, he was completely thoughtful and rude as he entertained other guests.
It is estimated that Chen Wan has not participated in Zheng Mengyao's side for a long time, and now his expression seems to be a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Yiran pursed her lips and subconsciously stood behind Dong Fang's side, not even noticing that she was already relying on this man so much.
Seeing them leave, the standardized smile on Dong Fang's face slowly fell, and when he turned around, he saw that the woman hiding behind him was still looking in with them, and the expression on her face was not obvious, but it was definitely not good.
"Today's wedding is the most important, and we will talk about the rest later." After softly putting down this sentence, he rushed her to find Zheng Mengqi.
——————
"Come in, you're tired today."
Zhao Yiran pushed open the door of the lounge, Zheng Mengqi was sitting on the dresser and redressing, saw her in the mirror, and hurriedly spoke.
At this moment, the bride has changed into a white main veil, dignified and grand, charming and moving. Just like Zheng Mengqi, a girl who rarely wears a skirt will be even more amazing when she wears it.
"It's really hard for you, I'll leave the errand of entertaining guests to you." Seeing her cousin limping away from the mirror, Zheng Mengqi also regretted it a little, and she should have arranged a little more leisure for her.
"Sure enough, wearing a wedding dress is different, and I speak more gently." The woman stood still behind her, and the mirror in front of her was lit up with soft lights, and now she felt that Zheng Mengqi's appearance even made her want to look twice.
The upper body of the wedding dress, every move, every smile is so gentle.
"I'm usually very gentle, so hurry up and sit down!"
Zhao Yiran smiled witfully at the bride ghost in the mirror, raised her heavy steps and walked to the sofa next to her, she felt that her feet were hard and painful now, every step was like a punishment, the heel was very thin, and if she didn't take a good step, there would be a risk of breaking her foot.
"I guess my cousin wants to get married when she sees you like this, and the woman in the wedding dress is more beautiful than anyone else." The teacher who followed the makeup teased while taking care of Zheng Mengqi's hair.
"It's probably going to be a while before she gets married, so wait." Zheng Mengqi thought about her sister's style, and felt that what she said was far away.
"It's too tiring to get married, I don't want to toss like this." The woman leaned back on the leather sofa beside her, and she spoke weakly.
She is just a bridesmaid, and the running around in the past few days has already made her physically and mentally exhausted.
Setting up a wedding was complicated and complicated, and she felt it was more troublesome.
"Adapt first, and when you meet your man, you won't think so." Teacher Xiang Makeup has seen many brides who have the same idea as Zhao Yiran now, so she doesn't think it's strange.
It's a romantic thing to be able to prepare your own wedding together.
After that, there was a wordless silence, and Zhao Yiran adjusted his state while thinking back to what he had just heard.
Waiting to meet your own man?
What is it like to prepare for a wedding together?
"Knock Knock"
A knock on the door interrupted the occupants of the house, and the woman, without putting on her shoes anymore, walked barefoot on the carpet in the house to open the door.
The door was unlocked, and it opened with a slight pull on both sides. The sound of all sorts of redundant exchanges, accompanied by the playing background music, filled the lounge again.
It was Dong Fang, who had already unbuttoned all the buttons of his black suit at this time, revealing most of his white shirt with his arms open. Today, wearing formal clothes makes a man look even more sturdy.
His figure is already a big man, with a suit upper body, and a variety of line patterns will make the body shape more obvious after the perennial workout, with wide shoulders and a thin waist, and a thick back when viewed from the side.
Coupled with the deliberate shape, today's Dong put down a more calm performance and is more different from usual. The actions and conversations are all reasonable and measured, and they are not next to the childish prodigal big boys.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yiran held the door with both hands and did not open the door very wide.
The man looked at her, then handed in a pair of unopened slippers from the gap.
The transparent bag also has the hotel's logo printed on it, which he should have just taken from the service staff.
"Wear this first slowly, and then change it after a while."
Zhao Yiran took it, could it be that he deliberately went to get the slippers and then gave it to himself?
Obviously, it will be placed in the lounge, is he a little stupid.
However, this unexpected surprise touched the woman's heart even more, and at this moment, she even wanted to say that she would wear this pair of slippers when the ceremony began, and she would not change them again.
"Why are you so careful?" The corners of the woman's mouth were raised, and her heart was sweet.
She always felt that it wasn't until Jiang Yaohua's age that she almost knew how to hurt people. Young lads like them may not even be able to take care of themselves.
"For you." She seems to be very independent, but Dong Fang still seems to be a little confused. It's just that the tone has just risen a little bit, because I saw something and became serious again.
"How barefoot?"
I looked down and saw the woman standing barefoot on the ground, and there were different shades of red marks on her delicate little feet, which should have been the new shoes.
"If your heel is broken, I'll get you some band-aids." When Zhao Yiran saw him raise his eyes to look at himself again, there was a little anger on his face.
"Nope! It's not as exaggerated as you think~"
"I've taken the slippers, so you can go over and rest for a while." What she meant was to let Dong go to Liang Jing's room to rest.
Looking at it today, he has not been idle for a moment, and he has been busy.
"I may not be able to take care of you if there are many things today, you should take care of yourself first and then take care of other things, do you hear?"
The implication is, don't let him worry.
"Got it. Wipe off the sweat and rest for a while. Zhao Yiran noticed a few drops of sweat hanging on his forehead just now, and gave him the clean tissue he was holding in his hand just now.
Gently touched the door, in fact, she knew in her heart that Dong Fang had "protected" himself well in all the opportunities he could take care of.
"Huh? Why don't you let people in, you have to talk through the door like a prison visit. Zheng Mengqi saw it just now, and deliberately asked her.
"How can he come in the woman's lounge, and he wants to rest and find his brother-in-law."
Zhao Yiran said it well, and then sat aside, unwrapped the slippers, and happily put them on.
"Why didn't Mr. Liang Jing come and take the initiative to send me a pair of slippers?"
Hearing his cousin's slightly sour words, Zhao Yiran couldn't help but snicker, "Brother-in-law is too busy~I'll change it for you~"
Zheng Mengqi was not so careful, and she changed her slippers as soon as she came in the morning.
I just said so much, I just wanted to probe my cousin's tone and help a bunch of Dong Fang. She felt relieved when she saw the man's expression of her sister who was so nervous just now, and then she looked at Zhao Yiran and didn't seem to resist so much.
"Sister, if you need to contact me at any time in the future." As an outsider, the makeup teacher understands even more, and it is estimated that the best man outside the door just now is the hero of the next wedding.
