Tian Xin's house was on the third floor, and the corridor was filled with red ribbons and petals. When Fangzheng arrived at the door, he saw that it was open. In the house, a couple was looking at Tian Xin with tears in their eyes. From their appearance, Fangzheng guessed that they were Ding Mu's parents.
Indeed, when the two elders saw Fangzheng, they were stunned on the spot. Then, they ran over. Then, they hugged Fangzheng. Following that, Fangzheng heard the sound of wailing. The crying was heart-wrenching, and the tears drenched his clothes.
Fangzheng didn't move and allowed them to hug him as they cried. Not far away, Tian Xin gave him an apologetic smile. Fangzheng returned a look that said, "I understand."
After the two elders cried enough, they let go and immediately apologized and thanked him.
Fangzheng immediately said, "You're welcome, it's fine, my condolences."
As the drumming downstairs grew louder, everyone's attention began to shift. They helped the bride make the final preparations, holding the flowers and umbrellas.
Tian Xin threw a set of clothes to Fangzheng and said, "This is the best man's clothes. Quickly change into it."
Fangzheng went into the room and changed into a red best man's outfit. When he looked in the mirror, Fangzheng was intoxicated with himself. He sighed and said, "This brother is quite handsome."
The moment he came out, Tian Xin said to Fangzheng, "You are the best man, not the bridesmaid. You can go down and escort the groom up. We are going to block the door. "
Fangzheng nodded and hurried downstairs.
When he arrived at the door, Fangzheng was stunned. He saw that the wedding procession at the door was made up of handsome men and beautiful women. The men were tall and handsome, and the women were valiant and heroic. Especially the chick who was beating the drum, she looked especially spirited!
However, what really surprised Fangzheng was that these people weren't wearing traditional red clothes. Instead, they were wearing green military uniforms with red ribbons … In other words, they were all soldiers! Or rather, firefighters!
The moment everyone saw Fangzheng, the music paused as though they knew about Ding Mu.
However, Fangzheng's heart palpitated as he thought, "So Tian Xin is going to marry a firefighter. This is bad. The people who are here to snatch the bride are his comrades. And in their eyes, his face was definitely a public enemy, the kind that deserved a beating. No way, when there's no one around, you can beat me up first … "
As Fangzheng's thoughts ran wild, the others snapped to their senses. They pulled Fangzheng to the side. Just as one of the chicks was about to ask something, the other party urged them to go upstairs to fetch him.
A large group of people rushed forward. A group of strong young men rushed forward like a flood. How could the girls blocking the door be a match for them? It was instantly washed away.
Fangzheng ran in with the crowd. At the same time, he looked around and was surprised to discover that he did not see the groom! At the very least, none of these guys in front of him were dressed like a bridegroom.
Tian Xin was quickly welcomed out and boarded a sedan chair. Then, a large group of people walked into the distance while beating gongs and drums.
Fangzheng was somewhat dumbfounded. As the groomsman, shouldn't he be by the groom's side at all times? Why didn't I see the groom the whole time? Just who was his groomsman?
Following the large group, they soon arrived at the hotel. Following that, Tian Xin stood at the door. Fangzheng and another groomsman stood behind her to welcome their family and friends.
Fangzheng finally couldn't help but ask, "Tian Xin, where's the groom?"
Tian Xin smiled and glanced at a box beside her. "Isn't he here?"
Fangzheng was taken aback. He looked down and saw two words engraved on the box on the stool: "Ding Mu!"
Fangzheng was instantly stunned. Marrying the ashes?
Fangzheng knew very well that modern society wasn't like the old society of the past. One person could marry several wives, or a matriarchal family could find several men. Today's society was monogamous. Not even one more was allowed! That was against the law!
Now that Tian Xin was going to marry Ding Mu's ashes, it meant that she was marrying Ding Mu. If she were to get married again in the future, it would be a second marriage … To her, this was actually a discount. More importantly, this was equivalent to being a widow …
Tian Xin seemed to see through Fangzheng's worry. She smiled and said, "Today is the day I agreed on with Ding Mu. I promised him that I would wait until today at the latest. If he doesn't achieve our agreed goal today, we will either break up or get married. Of course, I have the final say in all of this, so I've decided to marry him. "
Fangzheng asked, "Do your parents agree?"
Tian Xin said, "They didn't agree in the past, but they agree now. Ding Mu gave me a chance at a new life. I'm only marrying him, not dying. There's nothing to disagree about. "
Fangzheng frowned and asked in a low voice, "Have you really never thought of dying?"
Tian Xin was taken aback. Just as she was about to answer, Fangzheng said, "I can tell if a person is real or fake. Don't lie. Either you don't say it, or you tell the truth."
Tian Xin lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Fangzheng instantly understood that she had indeed thought of dying …
Fangzheng didn't say another word. The wedding continued. Tian Xin and Ding Mu's ashes bowed to the heavens and the earth to their parents. Finally, Tian Xin carried Ding Mu's ashes and toasted them table by table. The atmosphere was a little lively, but there was a strange coldness in the liveliness. Everyone was laughing, but behind the smiles was their heartache and sympathy for the girl. They were also touched by the love between Tian Xin and Ding Mu.
The wedding soon ended. When everyone dispersed, Tian Xin suddenly found Fangzheng.
The two of them didn't say a word as they quietly walked out and sat on a long bench. They were still on each side, with the savior dog lying in the middle.
It was Tian Xin who broke the silence again. She took a deep breath and said, "I thought of dying."
Fangzheng didn't say a word.
Tian Xin continued, "Ding Mu left, and my world was destroyed. The future I had thought about for so many years suddenly became meaningless. But I still have my parents. I can't die so selfishly. "
Fangzheng said, "That's why you chose to be a firefighter. No matter what you encounter, you will be at the front. You want to die in an accident instead of committing suicide, right?"
Tian Xin lowered her head and said, "I just want to die more naturally and heroically. This way, they will be proud of me."
