Can you believe it? The wedding continues

Qu Fanyi's wedding is next week.

Three months later, Qu Fanyi's belly has a slight sign. The two elders of the Chi family are very nervous and don't want her to worry about the wedding anymore. Instead, they persuade Chi Wei to pay more attention to it. However, Chi Wei is really not interested in the preparations. After all, the thing he lacks the least in his life is the wedding.

For the whole spring, the first thing Qu Fanyi does when she wakes up every day is to find Qiu Zining. Under the influence of Qu Fanyi, Qiu Zining also develops the habit of getting up early, waiting for Qu Fanyi to come over for breakfast and then strolling around the furniture store together.

The move was too hasty at the beginning, and all the savings were used up. Everything in this apartment is simple. Qiu Zining saved money for a year and finally had a budget for buying new furniture. Qu Fanyi was lazy about the wedding, but she paid special attention to the soft furnishings of Qiu Zining's house, and even learned interior design for this. Seeing this, Qiu Zining rummaged through the boxes and found a large stack of notebook gift boxes that Chanel, Hermes and Dior gave her two years ago and threw them to Qu Fanyi: "Take it, don't you like to make a diary?"

Seeing Qu Fanyi's eyes widened as if she saw some rare treasure, Qiu Zining laughed: "You are really easy to coax."

Qu Fanyi said: "This is the first time I received a notebook. Chi Wei always thinks that I make these diaries like a child playing house."

"Oh." Qiu Zining retorted: "Your skills are a treasure, you know? Every time you come to my house, I have the motivation to make money after tinkering with it."

With Qu Fanyi's efforts, the apartment was decorated bit by bit. They changed new sofas, tablecloths, carpets, and bought retro storage cabinets, paintings and table lamps. Near the windowsill, Qu Fanyi moved a few pots of plants. The sunlight shone down, casting the shadows of the plants on the wall, with mottled green shadows.

In the afternoon of early spring in March, Qu Fanyi was baking cakes in the kitchen, and Qiu Zining was writing on the sofa. When Qiu Zining was tired, she would have afternoon tea with her. When Qiu Zining was sarcastically complaining about others, Qu Fanyi would be her confidant.

In Qiu Zining's eyes, Qu Fanyi was like a house elf, cute, harmless and capable. When Qu Fanyi returned home at night, Qiu Zining would choose her favorite gifts from those PR gifts and put them in the gift bag, handing it to Qu Fanyi, and sighing in a fake way:

"I really don't want you to go home."

And Qu Fanyi would always say: "It's not like I won't come tomorrow."

However, tonight, Qu Fanyi said: "I can't come tomorrow, I have to try on wedding dresses. Also, I can't come the day after tomorrow, I have to attend a wedding - my own wedding."

Finally, she asked Qiu Zining: "Are you coming?"

Qu Fanyi stayed in the hotel suite the night before the wedding. The next morning, Chi Wei's motorcade will come to pick her up. Although it is called a motorcade, there is no best man, but employees of the wedding company in suits. The ceremony was held in the lobby of the hotel next door. There were 10 tables, which were nothing more than Chi Wei's family, Qu Fanyi's parents and several relatives.

She took a shower, wrapped in a nightgown, and put an emergency mask on her face. After a while, the doorbell rang. She was startled and opened the door. She saw Sheng Yiqing and Qiu Zining standing outside the door. The two of them held a thermos cup in their hands, shook it, and shouted in unison: "Surprise!"

"What's going on with you two?" She was stunned.

The two women went into the room, and Qiu Zining said, "Single party! Shouldn't there be such a part before marriage? Besides, Sheng Yiqing's test results are out!"

Qu Fanyi looked nervous: "What's the result?"

"This time the result is better than before, from 4b to 4a." Sheng Yiqing leaned back on the sofa and announced loudly: "The possibility of breast cancer has dropped from 50% to 10%!"

Qu Fanyi froze there: "Huh?"

Qiu Zining waved his hand: "It won't kill anyone. If it's really cancer, at most she can do chemotherapy, and she has a very beautiful head shape, this woman will look good with a shaved head! And! She has a new job."

Sheng Yiqing smiled: "Bald heads are cool in summer. Isn't it a coincidence? I met a previous client in the patient group, and we chatted. Hey! She has a subsidiary that is about to go public, and she asked me to go there to be the CFO! I can start work after the chemotherapy is over."

"When will you have the surgery?" Qu Fanyi was stunned.

"The cash ability has been urgently scheduled for the day after tomorrow. I'll go there after attending your wedding."

"So you and Chen Zhuan..."

"Hey, hey, let's not talk about it." Qiu Zining interrupted, having already unscrewed the thermos cup: "Tonight is a bachelor party. One of you is pregnant and the other is sick, so you can't drink. I asked our aunt to prepare two barrels of health packages. Let's drink warm water tonight!"

Qu Fanyi laughed: "What bachelor party? You two are single." She walked to the cabinet and took three glasses and poured three glasses of warm water: "Chi Wei and I got the marriage certificate a long time ago, and now we even have a child. This is how my life will be."

Sheng Yiqing smiled: "Why do you sound sighing? Aren't you most willing to marry him?"

Qu Fanyi was stunned, and after a long while she said softly: "People will always change."

In most people's lives, marriage is never the same as the version they imagine.

Chi Wei used to be a god in her eyes. And she was very happy because she had the qualifications to serve the gods. One day, she found that the statue also had flaws. As time passed, the flaws became bigger and bigger. She began to be disappointed little by little, until one day, the statue collapsed completely. The gods began to pray to her to save themselves. So the soft-hearted Qu Fanyi used tape to stick the statue back together bit by bit. Then, she looked at the broken statue and realized that what she had been serving devoutly was never a god, but just a clay statue of Bodhisattva.

Compared to her need for him, he needed her protection and salvation more.

"Chi Wei's parents said that they need a wedding as an explanation to me. But they don't know that I don't look forward to the wedding at all now." Qu Fanyi looked at Sheng Yiqing and Qiu Zining, and pulled the corner of her mouth: "If the days after are destined to be mediocre, boring and without love, why should I miss the grand day?"

Speaking of this, she glanced at Qiu Zining and said half-jokingly: "If possible, I would rather be with you every day."

Qiu Zining smiled and clinked glasses with her: "Okay. I'll support you."

The three women chatted until midnight, lying on the bed together, looking at the moon outside the window. No matter how sober they claim to be, they once had infinite expectations for marriage, and marriage also failed their expectations equally.

In this city, even in this hotel, how many girls waiting to get married are happily stroking the hem of the gorgeous wedding dress, looking at the same bright moon with them, eager to start a happy life with the help of a grand ceremony.

Will marriage also fail their expectations?

No one knows.

But if it fails one day, there is no need to feel strange. After all, when you have hope, disappointment is the norm in life.

Sheng Yiqing looked at the moon and thought of the man on the other side of the ocean.

Qiu Zining looked at the moon and thought of the window that she had longed to have since she was a child.

And Qu Fanyi, she didn't look at the moon, she turned her head and looked at Qiu Zining quietly.

.

The wedding was held on time at 10:30 in the morning.

The lights lit up the hall like daylight, the artificial small T stage was decorated with pink roses, and the big screen played the photos of the newlyweds in a loop. Then, the surrounding lights gradually dimmed, and as the door opened, Qu Fanyi, wearing a white wedding dress, was led by her father and slowly entered the venue. At the end of the road, there was Chi Wei, dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He took Qu Fanyi's hand and nodded to Qu's father.

The MC announced, "Now please invite the groom to give a speech."

Chi Wei nodded, took out a note from his pocket, and read it: "Xiao Yi, we have been together for two years without knowing it. Thank you for your support. I promise that I will take good care of you and our children in the future, and grow old with you."

Qu Fanyi did not speak, nor did she cry. She looked at Chi Wei calmly, at the note in his hand, which was printed with the hotel logo. It was written hurriedly after the MC reminded her before going on stage. She remembered that when he proposed to her, he wore headphones and connected remotely, asking Chen Zhuan to cheat for him... Thinking of this, Qu Fanyi lowered her head and glanced at the diamond ring she bought on her hand. He remembered that he didn't have a diamond ring the day before the proposal, and hurriedly transferred money to her...

Chi Wei had finished speaking, and there was silence in the audience. The MC looked at the bride who was wandering in her mind, and couldn't help reminding her: "Bride? Our bride is a little moved and silly, hahahaha, now it's the bride's turn to give a speech."

As he said this, he handed the microphone to Qu Fanyi.

Qu Fanyi took it in a daze, and suddenly, she glanced at the audience and called out, "Qiu Zining, Qiu Zining, come up."

"Ah?"

All eyes fell on Qiu Zining who was chewing a chicken leg. Qiu Zining was stunned and put down the chicken leg, not knowing what play Qu Fanyi was directing. Seeing Qu Fanyi staring at her, she wiped her hands and walked up with her head held high -

Fortunately, his mother put on makeup today.

"This is my best friend. In my eyes, she has a successful career and a clear mind. She looks sharp, but she is sincere and kind. Every day I am with her, I am very happy." Qu Fanyi looked at Qiu Zining and said, "Before I give my speech, I want to hear a few words from you."

Qiu Zining's pupils trembled, and he lowered his voice and said, "I'm not prepared."

"Just say whatever you want."

The microphone was pressed against his hand, like a hot potato. Qiu Zining took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, and spoke impromptu with some hesitation: "Ahem, hello, I'm honored to be invited. This is the second wedding I've attended. The first wedding was the year I graduated from college, when my roommate got married. To be honest, that wedding didn't leave me with too many good impressions: the guests sat together and quietly complained about the groom being ugly, fat, and bald, saying that the only thing the bride liked about the groom was his family background. The bride's photos were taken by her when she was a child, and when she grew up, they were all selfies with a large filter on Meitu Xiuxiu, and the sharp-eyed guests found traces of plastic surgery. The wedding with more than 50 tables , few people knew each other, and the bride and groom also prepared a four-hand piano and dance, which looked like a small company annual meeting. In the end, in my impression, the marriage seemed to last even longer than their wedding - the groom was caught soliciting prostitution, and the bride began to give birth to children one after another in order to save the marriage, and also defended her nest like a hen. Their short marriage covered countless clichés in novels, and it was the most bloody one: cheating, catching adultery, mistress, tearing, pregnancy, paternity test... From then on, I never attended a wedding again. "

The venue was very quiet. Qiu Zining's words were direct, which seemed to offend some people. She didn't care, and continued: "The reason I participated this time was because the other party was Qu Fanyi, a woman I didn't want to contact before, but after getting to know her, I wanted to see her every day. And I was a person who didn't have much interest in marriage and family, but she made me feel that marrying her and staying with her for life was a particularly beautiful thing. So, I envy today's groom. "

Someone on the field laughed softly.

Qiu Zining continued, "Some people say that those who do not want to get married must be very averse to or even hate marriage. I used to think that I was quite averse to it, and the men I met were never what I wanted. But my encounter with Qu Fanyi made me start to reflect on whether there is really someone in this world who is worth spending your whole life with? If so, what kind of person would that person be? I was just imagining. First of all, he must not hold you back. Over a long period of time, when facing the challenges brought by fate, you will not feel that the other person is an obstacle on your way forward, but a helper and motivation. Also, you must have a common language, the same opinions, and the same sense of humor. , and the cognition of the world is the same. Then, you have to be of one mind. When you encounter something that makes you angry, the other person is as angry as you, or he can understand your anger. When you encounter a confusing problem, he will help you solve the puzzle, or at least understand your confusion. Your good mood will spread to each other, and your bad mood will not become worse because of him. Finally, you have to be close enough that you can relax and be unrestrained in front of him, just as casual as you are in front of the mirror. You can rely on him and be ready to be relied on by him at any time..." Qiu Zining turned her head and looked at Qu Fanyi, and found that Qu Fanyi was also looking at her. Just as she was about to continue, Qu Fanyi grabbed the microphone in her hand and said, "The standards you just mentioned seem to be irrelevant whether it is a man or a woman." "Huh?" Qiu Zining didn't react. I saw Qu Fanyi staring at me stubbornly, word by word, "If these are the standards you want to accompany you for life, it's okay if it's not a boy?" "No..." Qiu Zining was completely dumbfounded. As if she had made up her mind, Qu Fanyi looked into Qiu Zining's eyes, holding the microphone in her hand, and said very slowly: "You said yesterday that you would support me, is it true or false?"

Instantly, there was an uproar in the audience.

Chi Wei stretched out his hand, intending to take the microphone from Qu Fanyi's hand, and signaled the emcee to save the situation quickly. Qiu Zining was completely stunned, frowning at Qu Fanyi: "No, at least you told me last night?"

Seeing that time was running out, Qu Fanyi stared at Qiu Zining and asked: "Can you support me?"

"Support, support, support!"

Before she finished speaking, Qu Fanyi smiled brightly, lifted her skirt, pushed Chi Wei away, took Qiu Zining's hand, and pulled her violently. Qiu Zining reacted, made up her mind, and pulled her hand back, interlocked their fingers, and jumped off the T-stage together. I saw that the door of the auditorium was opened by someone unknown, and the spring sunshine shone in. In the dim auditorium, it seemed that the dawn was ahead.

"Xiaoyi! Qu Fanyi!" Chi Wei's voice came from behind. The two stopped walking. Qu Fanyi turned her head and looked at the stage. When their eyes met, she saw the pleading in his eyes.

The next second, she let go of Qiu Zining's hand, took off the diamond ring in her hand, and threw it onto the stage--

"Ding--"

With a sound, the diamond ring fell on the catwalk, bounced up, and fell down again. Qu Fanyi pulled Qiu Zining and ran out of the auditorium.

After leaving the hotel, the two were still a little confused. They looked around and saw that everything was unfamiliar. They didn't know where to go for a while, and then they realized--

I ran away from (robbed) my marriage?

Luckily, the audience in the venue also experienced this for the first time. They were stunned in place, thinking it was part of the wedding. For a while, no one chased them out.

At this moment, a familiar sports car with a flashy color drove out of the parking lot in a hurry, braked suddenly and stopped in front of the two people, the car window was lowered, and Sheng Yiqing stuck his head out: "Get in quickly!"

"How do you have my car keys..." Qiu Zining opened the passenger door and saw the leather handbag she had just left in the hotel on the seat. Then she realized that it was Sheng Yiqing who found out that something was wrong, took the bag and sneaked out at the first time, and then drove to pick up the two people who were confused.

The sports car roared, and Sheng Yiqing in a car started to complain: "It's amazing! It's not just about robbing the bride! It's not the best man who robbed the bride, nor the ex-boyfriend who robbed the bride, it's the bride who robbed a guest and then ran away with the guest! It's amazing!"

While Sheng Yiqing was talking, he glanced at Qiu Zining in the passenger seat, and saw

She kept muttering: "Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy..."

Sheng Yiqing chuckled: "You know..." Looking at the rearview mirror, she saw that the space in the back row was filled with thick white gauze. In the middle of the layers of skirts, Qu Fanyi's beautiful head was depressed.

She lowered her head, feeling anxious.

After a while, he pulled Qiu Zining and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Qiu Zining rolled his eyes and turned his head: "The problem is you, I don't care! The problem is, do you regret it? Have you thought it through?"

Qu Fanyi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I've thought it through."

"Think it through!" Qiu Zining exploded and stared at Qu Fanyi, "Of course we can live together, but you won't have sex in the future!"

Qu Fanyi gave a short sneer: "I didn't have much anyway."

Qiu Zining covered his head: "Your parents will be furious."

Qu Fanyi was still calm: "They can't control me."

Qiu Zining took a deep breath: "I will make money well."

Qu Fanyi nodded: "Don't worry, I will be fine too So I can urge you." Qiu Zining paused again, "I'll give you 10,000 per month, forget it, I like you a little more, 20,000 salary." "Deal! Don't worry, I will work hard and support your life with all my strength. Strive to let us live in a bigger house as soon as possible." "Now that you say that, I'm really motivated." Qiu Zining was stunned, and further planned, "After the child is born, call you mom and call me godmother." Qu Fanyi thought of something, and her head buried in the gauze skirt moved up and down, "Hey, we can still fall in love separately!" "But you can't bring men home." Sheng Yiqing was stunned listening to the side. He didn't expect that these two people really sang the same tune to plan the future? Turning his head, he looked at Qu Fanyi: "Don't forget, you still have to divorce Chi Wei. You are pregnant now, will he be happy?"

"After this, he has to agree even if he doesn't want to. If he is willing to pay child support, the child can take his surname."

Qiu Zining clicked his tongue twice, "I feel so sorry for Chi Wei."

Sheng Yiqing said lightly: "Chi Wei's house cost 20 million, and he bought it in full at the beginning."

"..."Qiu Zining shut up, "I'd better feel sorry for myself. "

The sports car roared all the way, from the North Fifth Ring Road all the way south and east. Seeing that Sheng Yiqing was familiar with the road, the two women asked: "Where are we going now?"

"To my house first. Then go to the hospital." Sheng Yiqing shrugged, stepped on the accelerator, overtook two more cars, and gave orders: "Anyway, you two are fine, just accompany me, a cancer patient, to have an operation."

The elevator door opened, and the three women came out of the elevator and saw the door of the house opposite Sheng Yiqing's house was wide open, and workers were moving things in.

The property manager was standing at the door. Sheng Yiqing was stunned when he saw him: "A new tenant?"

"The owner." The manager smiled, his eyes fell on the huge wedding dress on Qu Fanyi, and he was stunned again, then looked at Sheng Yiqing and said: "This house has been sold, and you will have a fixed neighbor in the future."

Sheng Yiqing nodded, said nothing more, turned around and opened the door to go into the house, Qu Fanyi and Qiu Zining looked at each other and followed in.

Sheng Yiqing's surgery was scheduled at Union Medical College International Hospital. After packing the necessary things for hospitalization, she went to the hospital to check in and moved into a single ward.

Qu Fanyi and Qiu Zining kept watching her. The three women were huddled in the ward. They had either just experienced a big scene or were about to experience a big scene. They were all excited and nervous. They had to keep talking to boost their courage and divert each other's attention. Qu Fanyi thought that at least one of her parents or Chi Wei would come to her house, but the whole afternoon passed and WeChat was quiet.

Qiu Zining couldn't help it and sent a message to Yu Youyang, asking: "How was the wedding?"

Yu Youyang replied in seconds: "You are really awesome. You did what I have always wanted to do but didn't dare to do since I was a child."

Qiu Zining was impatient and asked again: "How was the wedding?"

Yu Youyang smiled and said, "Can you believe it? The wedding continued."
