Chapter 154: Chapter 152: Wedding

Sunday.

The weather was clear, not a cloud in the sky.

A fine day for weddings.

Qin Guanglin, as usual, woke up early, carrying breakfast and fresh vegetables to He Fang’s place, stuffed the vegetables into the fridge, and left the breakfast by the bed.

He Fang was sleeping soundly, so he straightened the thin quilt that she had kicked aside and then reached into the covers to grope around, contentedly turned around, and went downstairs.

His classmate Yu Fei was getting married. On Friday, he had already arranged to meet with Sun Wen and head over to Xiao Yu’s place to gather, then the three of them would go to the wedding together.

He took the bus to Xiao Yu’s house. Sun Wen hadn’t arrived yet, but Xiao Yu was already dressed and ready. After welcoming Qin Guanglin in, he sat down on the sofa and sized him up.

"You look sharp. These clothes, this hairstyle, I almost didn’t recognize you."

"I can’t show up looking all shabby at someone’s wedding, can I?"

"Aren’t you afraid you’ll steal the limelight?" Xiao Yu clicked his tongue in wonder. "You definitely couldn’t have dressed up like this on your own. Tell me, who did it for you? I never noticed before, but you clean up really well..."

"With your eyesight?" Qin Guanglin curled his lip. "’Clean up really well’? Don’t you look the same? A wolf in sheep’s clothing."

"Hey, wait till you see Sun Wen. He’s bound to be a polished scoundrel."

"Enough, you artsy-fartsy painter, stop showing off the little culture you have. Go, pour me a glass of water." Qin Guanglin sprawled on the sofa, turned his head, and saw the cat that had startled him last time he was over. He grabbed it and stroked it a couple of times.

Mmm, cats are really fun to play with, soft and cuddly like a girlfriend.

"Acting like a boss... Don’t move!"

Xiao Yu stood up, muttering non-stop, and when he saw Qin Guanglin holding his cat, he shouted and pounced over to snatch the cat away. "You think you can just touch it whenever you want?"

"Why can’t I just touch it?" Qin Guanglin looked at him as if he were an idiot.

What’s he freaking out about?

"This is no ordinary cat," Xiao Yu huffed. "It has to repay its gratitude when it grows up. It’ll become my wife, you know what a wife is? How can I let you touch her?"

"..." Qin Guanglin was speechless for a moment. "Was I just touching your wife?"

"Darn, don’t say something so disgusting."

"It was you who said something disgusting."

"Anyway, just don’t touch it, okay?" Xiao Yu cuddled the cat for a bit then put it on the ground to let it walk away, chuckling, "There’s no way I could find a girlfriend, so I’m hoping it’ll turn into a human and repay me. Then..."

"Creepy otaku."

Qin Guanglin gave a disgusted snort. Repay him? What weird stuff was this guy thinking?

The little tabby cat walked around in circles on the floor, then with a leap and a bend of its legs, it jumped onto Qin Guanglin’s lap and lay down. He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands towards Xiao Yu, "Your wife is sitting on my lap again."

"..."

Knock knock knock.

The sound of knocking at the door came again.

Xiao Yu picked up the cat and ran to open the door. Sun Wen, with his towering height of 1.9 meters, bent down to walk in, "Wow, you guys are early."

"Yeah." Qin Guanglin looked him up and down, scoffing, "All dolled up."

"A sheep in wolf’s clothing," Xiao Yu chimed in.

"A polished scoundrel."

"A shameless rogue."

"Come on, what’s with this? Can’t handle someone being handsome?" Sun Wen flicked his hair. "You’re just jealous."

"Jealous of you?" Xiao Yu hugged his ’wife’ to his chest, took it into the bedroom, tossed it in, and shut the door before turning back to pour tea for both of them. "Do you have even one ten-thousandth of my good looks?"

"You’re good-looking? Where’s your girlfriend?" Sun Wen asked.

"His wife just went into the bedroom, didn’t you see?" Qin Guanglin laughed.

"Hahahaha, what a polished beast, not even sparing the cat," Sun Wen laughed so hard he slapped his thigh. "When’s the wedding? Make sure not to invite me."

"Don’t invite me either," Qin Guanglin waved his hand dismissively. "I’ll just transfer the money for my gift to your card."

"Stupid mortals."

Xiao Yu shook his head as he brought over two glasses of water. "When should we head over?"

"After we finish these glasses of water, it’s not good to be too late."

"Hey, wait until we see Yu Fei, he’ll definitely be dressed to the nines."

"No kidding, he’s the star of the show today."

"Hey, we can treat it like a class reunion, we haven’t had one this year yet."

"We still don’t know how many people are going."

The three chatted idly as they finished their water and then went out to hail a taxi to the wedding venue.

When they arrived at the venue, the groom had already brought the bride back, and the couple was standing at the hotel entrance to greet the guests. Upon seeing Qin Guanglin, Xiao Yu, and Sun Wen, Yu Fei’s already smiling face brightened further, "You three came as a group?"

"Ha ha ha, congratulations on your marriage, wishing you a lifetime of happiness," Xiao Yu went up first with a greeting, then turned to look at Qin Guanglin and Sun Wen behind him, "Isn’t that right?"

"Definitely," Qin Guanglin replied with joy upon seeing Yu Fei in his suit, "Let me wish you a happy marriage and an early arrival of a little one."

The kid had dressed up and looked way more handsome than before, standing next to the bride in her wedding gown, they looked like a perfect match.

"Hey, I wanted to offer the ’early arrival of a little one’ wish too." Sun Wen, a bit annoyed at being slow, scratched his head before coming up with something different, "Happy marriage, wishing you everlasting love."

"There will be time for wishes later, I still have to toast each of you," Yu Fei said, holding the bride’s hand and smiling, introducing them one by one, "This is Qin Guanglin, this is Xiao Yu, and this is Sun Wen, all college buddies of mine..."

"Hello, hello." The bride greeted them graciously, "I often hear about you guys, he says your painting skills are amazing... such a waste you don’t play basketball with that height..."

"Hey, don’t just stand there, come in and take a seat, Gao Xin and a few others are already inside."

Yu Fei called them inside as another group of guests arrived at the entrance.

"Almost forgot the red envelope."

Xiao Yu reached into his pocket and took out a red envelope, handing it over. He approached Yu Fei, turned, and handed it directly to the bride, "The money should definitely go to the sister-in-law, what are you reaching for?"

"I could have taken it and then given it to her... it’s all the same, right?"

"Thank you." The bride glanced at Yu Fei and couldn’t help but giggle.

"Take this." Qin Guanglin stuffed the red envelope into Yu Fei’s hands, "I’ll watch you hand it over."

"..."

"Hey, you two are too naughty." Sun Wen said with a chuckle as he also stuffed his red envelope into Yu Fei’s hands, "Here, don’t say I’m not thoughtful."

"... If you were thoughtful you would’ve slipped it quietly, she’s watching right over there." Yu Fei teased, then handed the red envelope to the bride, "Let’s go inside."

Wedding music played inside the hotel, where a good number of guests were already seated at their respective tables. The three of them looked around but couldn’t find anyone they knew right away.

"Hello, may I ask if you are..." The welcomer approached them as they stood there.

"Groom’s classmates."

"Oh, the groom’s classmates are at this table..."

She led them a few steps forward, but Xiao Yu had already spotted familiar faces waving at them, "Thanks, thanks, we see them now, we’ll head over ourselves, you go ahead."

"Okay."

"Brother Lin, Brother Wen, you’re here." Yu Le popped up from somewhere and greeted Qin Guanglin and Sun Wen.

"Yeah, when we were coming I was wondering if we’d bump into you," Qin Guanglin hadn’t forgotten that Yu Le was Yu Fei’s cousin.

Sun Wen laughed and patted Yu Le on the shoulder, "We’ll take this chance to have a few drinks with your master later."

"Isn’t his master you?" Qin Guanglin asked.

"You were the one who taught him," Sun Wen winked.

Xiao Yu stood by in surprise, "You guys took on apprentices?"

"What apprentice, just kidding..."

Qin Guanglin waved it off but was cut off by the sight of another familiar face.

"Boss, Brother Wen." Jiang Lingling greeted the two.
