Sweet slice-of-life love story: Wife, Let's love again Chapter 297 - 292: The Past is Like a Dream
My best bro was getting married, the very best one of them.
Qin Guanglin was a bit excited.
Even though he didn’t know exactly why he was excited, he just felt it, unable to sleep well at night, going over in his mind again and again what he had to do and the process as a groomsman.
Xiao Yu, that guy, was not only getting married but also going to be a dad...
Unlike the sentint he felt attending Yu Fei’s wedding, this ti he felt sowhat reassured.
Scenes from their college days passed through his mind like a carousel lantern.
"Who needs a girlfriend? I’ll draw one for you."
"Let’s go online, I’m going to climb to Silver rank today."
"Sword Saint has gone mad, I’ve blinded him, Lin, run!"
"Hasa give... fuck, why are you running? You betrayed us!"
"Playing pool is no fun, co on, I’ll take you to do sothing interesting... fishing, those big fish are waiting in the water for us to catch them."
Xiao Yu’s playful and goofy face seed to linger from just yesterday, and now suddenly he’s about to be a dad?
Ti really flies...
"You’re not asleep yet?" He Fang turned and asked.
"Mm, just thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
Qin Guanglin opened his eyes and looked at her in the dim light of the night lamp, "Another friend got married, and it always feels like we’re still very young, yet he already has a child."
"Young?"
"When I think about it, not really young, less than four years until thirty... My mindset hasn’t quite adjusted." Qin Guanglin hugged her tight and nuzzled her, "Let’s sleep, I have things to do tomorrow, make sure you eat well at ho."
"Mm, goodnight." He Fang smiled, glanced at him, closed her eyes, and buried her head in his chest.
"Goodnight."
As the night deepened, the cool moonlight sneaked in through the gaps in the curtains, and the people in bed fell asleep in each other’s arms.
He Fang had a smile on her face, dreaming back to when they first t.
"How about that groomsman?" Zhou Nan nudged her with her shoulder, nodding toward the young man next to the groom, "My husband told he’s a great artist, the kind who stays ho all day painting, and he’s also single. I think he’d be a good match for you."
She took a glance over there, and the man happened to be listening to the groom, their gazes t, and then casually drifted elsewhere.
"Are you the bride or the matchmaker?" she asked.
"I’m just anxious seeing you single... My belly is already sticking out and you’re still by yourself."
Zhou Nan exaggeratedly touched her barely showing belly and leaned in to whisper, "It’s perfect, you write novels, he paints, you can spend days off without stepping outside the door, a true match—And from what my husband says, that guy is quite sothing... If he wasn’t good, I wouldn’t suggest you et him, what do you think? Try getting to know him, if you don’t like him, no harm done, but what if it works out?"
"What if it works out?"
"Yeah, if the best man and bridesmaid at my wedding beco a couple, you are my bridesmaid this year, and next year I’ll attend your wedding, it feels so surreal and wonderful..."
Listening to Zhou Nan’s low murmuring, she sneaked a peek at the man who was also stealthily looking over here, and she felt sowhat amused, asking Zhou Nan, "Did you two plan this?"
"Ha-ha, it was his idea. I thought it was pretty good, so I brought it up to you, If you’re really not keen on it, forget it..."
"What’s his na?"
"Ah? His na is... Qin, Qin Guanglin, he looks decent, and he’s not very social because of his art, that’s why he’s still single—where are you going?"
"To et him, I wouldn’t want to waste all your effort... Just to get acquainted, right?"
"Right, just to get acquainted."
The groom looked puzzled as she walked over, then patted the man’s shoulder and stepped aside. The man called Qin Guanglin seed a bit uncomfortable, his legs close together, hands resting on his knees, glanced at her, and then looked away before looking back again.
"My na is He Fang, I’m the bridesmaid for tomorrow." He Fang indicated Zhou Nan behind her, "Nice to et you."
"Hello, hello, I’m also very glad to et you." Qin Guanglin quickly stood up, realizing the height difference between them, and unconsciously slouched a bit to appear less tall.
"How pleased are you?" He Fang asked with a teasing smile.
"Uh..." Qin Guanglin was caught off guard, staring at the smiling He Fang, who was a whole head shorter than himself, and hesitated for a mont, "as happy as you recognizing ."
He Fang tilted her head slightly to look up at the sowhat dazed man before her, wondering if this could be considered an acquaintance now?
"Tomorrow when we co to pick up the bride, can you go easy on us?" Qin Guanglin saw that she was looking at him without speaking, so he gestured with his hands, "It’s my first ti being a groomsman, and I’ve heard that you bridesmaids will block the door and not let us in, set up a lot of challenges to make it difficult for us..."
"Pfft..."
He Fang looked down and chuckled, "It’s also my first ti being a bridesmaid, I don’t know those gas."
"Oh..."
Seeing Qin Guanglin relax, He Fang looked at him with an amused expression, "Was the groom just talking to you about this? Asking you to say a few good words to the bridesmaid?"
"No, he said let’s get to know each other."
"So are we acquainted now?"
"We should... probably add each other on WeChat to be considered acquainted, right?" Qin Guanglin’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened, his gaze wandering, noticing Xiao Yu in the distance giving him a fist pump of encouragent.
This girl had a very pleasant voice, clear and gently moist; he wondered what it would be like when she lectured.
Watching He Fang take out her phone to scan the code and add a note, he suddenly rembered he hadn’t introduced himself, and hurriedly said, "Qin Guanglin, Qin as in the Qin from Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu, Guang as in General Li Guang, and Lin as in forest."
"Got it." He Fang typed his na, then held up her phone in front of him, shaking it slightly, "Pleased to et you, Mr. Qin."
"You were already pleased just a mont ago."
"Then let’s be pleased once more."
He Fang smiled, "Mission accomplished, I’m heading back."
Qin Guanglin watched her walk back to the bride’s side with her hands behind her back, then he looked down at the na noted in his phone.
He Fang.
The na did have a nice ring to it.
"How did it go?" Xiao Yu approached him full of energy.
"What do you an how did it go?" Qin Guanglin opened her avatar, a Doraemon with its hands behind its head in a laid-back posture.
"Do you need a little more help? If you say you like her, I can set it up for you!"
"Ah?"
Qin Guanglin paused, "Isn’t it just getting to know each other?"
"Tsk... I’ve already got kids, no wonder you’ve stayed single till now. So, you just leave it at getting to know her, with no follow-up?" Xiao Yu was completely speechless with his buddy, "Just tell if you like her or not, forget about the rest."
"Well... just t once, how can I talk about liking or not liking..." Qin Guanglin stealthily glanced over there, seeing He Fang talking to the bride and looking his way, he quickly averted his gaze.
"Then forget it..."
"Wait a minute... I think... I don’t dislike her."
"That settles it." Xiao Yu’s eyes glead with a smile, "I heard from Zhou Nan that she’s a teacher, you’ve hit the jackpot... Let first ask Zhou Nan what she thinks—gotta first see the girl’s attitude. If she’s not into you, there’s nothing I can do... But it looks promising, leave it to ."
Qin Guanglin didn’t ask what he ant by "leave it to ," the wedding process was complicated, and he didn’t have ti to think about these ssy things. His most important task at the mont was to make sure the wedding went perfectly without any hitches; everything else had to take a backseat.
In a person’s life, you only get married once; you have to make sure it’s thoroughly well managed for your buddy.
On the wedding day, when the bouquet flew through an elegant arc right in front of Qin Guanglin, he instinctively caught it, looked towards the stage in a daze at Xiao Yu’s teasing gestures, and it took him a mont to realize that this buddy did it on purpose.
The bride had practiced, she could throw it wherever she wanted even with her eyes closed, and turning her back made it a piece of cake.
"The bouquet has actually ended up in a man’s hands... Look at those anxious girls, what to do now?"
The MC, realizing this was a planned act, started to stir things up with the microphone.
Qin Guanglin’s heart raced as he looked towards the girls, so crying out in surprise, others laughing rrily. He Fang rely looked surprised for a mont, glanced at the bride on the stage, then pursed her lips and chuckled softly, also looking his way.
Their gazes t, and Qin Guanglin took a deep breath, strode forward, and extended his hand to present the bouquet to He Fang.
"This is supposed to be for girls to hold... here you go."
This was also the first ti he had given flowers to soone.
