7 min read1,782 words

The wedding was held on a very good day. The wedding was planned by Wen Yu himself and with Zheng Ye’s assistance, it was extremely grand.

There was a very large number of guests present.

Of course, guests without invitation letters weren’t allowed in, and many people who wanted to get on Wen Yu’s good side followed those who had invitations.

This wedding only accepted blessings, not gifts.

Outside the venue, there was a lot of traffic.

At this moment, Chi Zhengzheng was wearing a big red wedding dress and she was sitting inside the room of the Chi family.

The wedding dress was worked with Su embroidery. It was booked several months in advance, hand-embroidered by the master of Su embroidery, it was magnificent. (t/n: Su embroidery or Suzhou embroidery is one of the four major traditional styles of Chinese embroidery.)

Chi Zhengzheng had already put on her makeup and was a little nervous.

She didn’t have many friends, so the bridesmaids were invited to the girls in her circle whom she had a good impression of.

She reserved a place for Wen Sisi.

– Although Wen Yu and the Wen family were related by blood, it was well known that they had no feelings. She was a bridesmaid because she was Chi Zhengzheng’s friend.

Wen Sisi also rushed back.

Wen Sisi, who was wearing a purple bridesmaid dress, looked at Chi Zhengzheng and couldn’t help but say: “I really didn’t expect you to invite me to be your bridesmaid…”

“I’ve always considered you my friend.” Chi Zhengzheng said.

After a pause, she grinned: “And it’s such a nice day, why can I not look for you to show off?”

Wen Sisi: “…”

She said angrily: “I haven’t seen you for so long, and your mouth is still so poisonous.”

Wen Sisi had changed a lot, she had matured, her temperament had become reserved, her hair had been cut short, and she was much more capable and experienced. Apparently, she was doing quite well outside.

“I’ve always been like this.” Chi Zhengzheng picked up the mirror and looked at her exquisite makeup.

Wen Sisi said softly: “Zhengzheng, you’re really good, I’m happy to see you, I’m so happy…”

Immediately, she was a little embarrassed, looked away, and her cheeks were slightly red: “But let me tell you, they’re afraid of Wen Yu, but I’m not afraid, today I won’t let him in easily!”

Chi Zhengzheng put down the mirror and couldn’t help but say: “Don’t make it too difficult for him ah…”

“Yo yo yo yo, this protective?” Someone teased.

Chi Zhengzheng smiled embarrassingly, and suddenly, inside the room, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Outside, there were making a racket –

“The groom is here!!”

At once, Wen Sisi and other bridesmaids swarmed all over and stood blocking the doorway.

Wen Yu was wearing the same set of groom’s clothes as Chi Zhengzheng’s wedding dress. It had been modified and was lighter, not as gorgeous as Chi Zhengzheng’s.

Zheng Ye and other groomsmen followed behind him.

“Come, come, come! Please do us all a favor, ladies, and make way for us!” Zheng Ye pulled out a large pile of red envelopes, and directly stuffed over a handful of them.

He moved too fast, and there were too many red envelopes, and many fell to the ground.

The bridesmaids weren’t people who were short on money, but at this moment, they grabbed the red envelopes subconsciously. As soon as the movement was chaotic, they didn’t block the door, and Zheng Ye and the others immediately rushed inside with Wen Yu in their arms.

Wen Sisi stood a little behind, she was very clear-headed, she immediately blocked the door, and shouted-

“Don’t mind the red envelopes, don’t let them in!”

The bridesmaids immediately came back to their senses and hurriedly took their positions, blocked the door, laughing with anger –

“You guys are too devious!”

“We won’t let them in easily!”

“Right, come on, the groomsmen should do push-ups, and the groom should say 500 words of love to the bride, and the groomsmen will have to do it for as long as it takes. When we’re all satisfied, then you can come in!”

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s how it should be!”

Zheng Ye wailed: “You’re deliberately making things difficult for us!!”

“It’s just to make things difficult for you guys, who asked you guys to be so devious and to try to rush right in!”

“Hurry up, Zheng Ye, take the lead and get down!”

“Hahaha right, hurry up!”

Chi Zhengzheng was sitting inside the room, holding a circular fan, listening to their laughter, and also couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

Zheng Ye and the others obediently got down and shouted to Wen Yu – “You should hurry up!”

Wen Yu couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows with a headache and said: “Let me think…”

“Don’t think about it! I’ve already done five, hurry up!” Zheng Ye howled.

Wen Yu took a deep breath. He looked through the gap, and could only see red, couldn’t see Chi Zhengzheng, but he knew where she was in his heart. As a result, his heart was pounding, looking forward to seeing her and feeling anxious.

After a while, he opened his mouth, his eyes looked inside the room, as if looking at Chi Zhengzheng, he said seriously –

“Chi Zhengzheng, I’m grateful to fate for letting me meet you, you’re the most precious gift from heaven. You’re more important than everything I have. I’m also grateful to you, thank you for coming into this world, thank you for being willing to stay in this world, thank you for being willing to stay by my side for the rest of your life with me… I’ll always remember our promise we have to see through, I would like to spend my life in accordance to our appointment, it won’t change in this life.”

Five hundred words and no one gave him a detailed count. (t/n: it’s about 500 Chinese characters.)

In fact, after he was finished, the bridesmaids were all taken aback.

Everyone knows more or less about Wen Yu’s character. He looked so serious, that no one suspected that there was any exaggeration in his words, they all knew – what he said, he really meant it.

Five hundred words of love, yet he didn’t say “darling”, just softly called out”Chi Zhengzheng”, not even an “I love you”, but it seemed that every sentence was filled with love, every word was gentle.

This was a man who had everything, such an indifferent man, but he was only gentle to one person, only giving everything to one person, he put that one person in his heart, and valued her more important than his life.

No one of them was not moved.

The bridesmaids were all single and happy to be bridesmaids, one was to be friends with Chi Zhengzheng and the other was – Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yu’s wedding, who wouldn’t want to freeload some cheerful atmosphere?

When they heard these words, they couldn’t help but feel envious.

When Wen Yu finished, inside the room, Chi Zhengzheng covered her mouth and cried, she tilted her head, afraid to ruin the makeup.

It was quiet for a moment.

Wen Yu asked: “Is this okay?”

The bridesmaids then came back to their senses and immediately said: “Of course not! Come, come, groom, you will certainly not drink less today, we won’t pour you wine, but we’ve prepared for you the five tastes of life!” (t/n: the five tastes 五味, namely: sweet 甜, sour 酸, bitter 苦, spicy hot 辣, salty 鹹|咸.)

Someone brought out a tray with five cups on it.

You could tell by the smell – it was sour, sweet, bitter, spicy hot, and salty. (t/n: 酸甜苦辣咸 also means the joys and sorrows of life.)

Zheng Ye and the others had just gotten up, they were already sweating and seeing this, they howled: “You’re too cruel! Such a big cup!”

“You can also help to drink ah, anyway, how much the groom drinks would prove how sincere he is to the bride. The bride can look from inside, the groom, see if you want to let the bride down?” The bridesmaids were jeered, laughed, and joked.

But they didn’t really want the groom to finish the drink all by himself.

Wen Yu once again took a deep breath and smiled helplessly.

Zheng Ye looked at the cup and swallowed, and said carefully: “This… anyway, Zhengzheng must know your sincerity, or should we help you drink it?”

One cup per person was still possible, if Wen Yu were to drink it all, he reckoned he would be somewhat overwhelmed.

However, Wen Yu didn’t seem to let them help, although this didn’t represent his sincerity for Zhengzheng, today was the wedding day, so he also wanted to show everyone sincerity.

As a result, Wen Yu barely paused, he picked one cup and drank it in one gulp, one after the other.

The taste was very overwhelming, his brows were furrowed, especially the sour one, there was probably a little too much vinegar, Wen Yu drank it and his face changed.

Next to him, Zheng Ye looked terrified.

Mom ah, getting married was too scary, the bridesmaids were too scary!!!

“Is this okay?” After drinking the last cup clean, Wen Yu asked.

The bridesmaids were shocked and flabbergasted.

They had to say, Wen Yu passed these two hurdles beautifully, Zheng Ye and the others were still desperately stuffing red envelopes next to them, and all the bridesmaids were all embraced to each other and these bridesmaids wanted to make way.

Wen Sisi stood there with her chin slightly raised, and suddenly said: “The last hurdle, the groom needs to sing a love song.”

Wen Yu’s brow became even more furrowed than when he was about to drink those five cups of strange water.

Wen Sisi was happy.

Sure enough, Chi Zhengzheng had a good idea to make things difficult for him!

No one had ever heard Wen Yu sing before, not even Chi Zhengzheng.

“Are you not going to sing? Then you can’t take away the bride!” Wen Sisi raised her eyebrows. “The bride can hear everything!”

“I’ll do it I’ll do it!” Zheng Ye said hurriedly.

“No, the groom has to do it himself!”

Wen Yu took a deep breath and stood there calmly, his expression regained his composure as if singing was not a big deal to him.

– Was the king really good at everything?

At this moment, Wen Yu opened his mouth.

Everyone, including Chi Zhengzheng in the room, was all shocked.
