“No, you have to get up. If someone sees us, our relationship will be exposed!”
Song Qiuyu looked at Jiang Xiao, who seemed intent on taking over her little bed, feeling anxious and frantic.
She quickly patted his thigh with her small hand.
Jiang Xiao didn’t budge, not even opening his eyes.
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu’s eyes darted, and she decisively slipped her hand into Jiang Xiao’s pocket, trying to fish out his room card.
But before she could grab the card, the next second, Jiang Xiao caught her hand, and with a thud, she was forced to lie down on the bed.
Strangely enough, as soon as she lay down, she started feeling drowsy too.
She had to yawn and force herself to stay awake. “Alright, come on, get up now.”
As she spoke, she patted Jiang Xiao’s shoulder a few more times in succession. Under her coaxing, Jiang Xiao reluctantly crawled out of bed.
Having such a cute girlfriend is really a pain. Can’t take it.
But just as Jiang Xiao reached the door, he heard footsteps following him. Somewhat surprised, he stopped.
He turned around and saw his girlfriend’s adorable little head gently thud against his back as she spread her arms and hugged him from behind.
“Jiang Xiao, good night. See you tomorrow!”
“Mm, good night.”
After ruffling her fluffy little head one last time, Jiang Xiao smiled, opened the door, and left the room.
With a creak, Song Qiuyu closed the door and lay back down on the bed.
Seeing that it was already quite late, she wanted to go straight to sleep. But after closing her eyes for a while, a face with freckles appeared in her mind.
It was naturally Xia Qi.
She figured that since Lin An had asked them for help, Xia Qi, who always loved to compete with Lin An, couldn’t possibly stay silent.
So she picked up her phone and checked her unread messages.
To her surprise, she discovered that while she had been seriously helping Lin An, her phone had already been bombarded with messages from group chats and Xia Qi’s private chat!
“Mm…”
Song Qiuyu had her own rhythm for replying to messages. She sat up unhurriedly, stroked her chin, and thought it over carefully.
She and Jiang Xiao had already helped Lin An.
For the sake of fairness, helping Xia Qi again shouldn’t be a problem.
After all, the master leads you in, but cultivation depends on your own understanding.
Besides, this way, the competition they wanted would be more balanced, not completely one-sided.
With that in mind, she decisively opened Xia Qi’s chat interface, blushed, and passed on the secret manual to this soon-to-be bride.
She didn’t want to see her good best friend completely suppressed by her good buddy!
And so, four days flew by in the blink of an eye.
During that time, the weather forecast had changed from five consecutive days of rain to less and less precipitation, finally turning into a scorching sunny day at 38°C.
The temperature only got higher, never lower.
On the wedding day.
All invited guests arrived. Since the sun was a bit harsh, a large number of sun umbrellas were set up on the grounds.
Song Qiuyu had already received the groomsmen’s outfit and went to the dressing room early to put on the handsome suit.
As soon as she walked out of the dressing room, she looked at the other groomsmen, and her gaze naturally fell on Jiang Xiao.
It couldn’t be helped. Jiang Xiao had grown a lot taller again.
Just his height, nearly 1.9 meters, was conspicuous enough in the crowd, let alone the face that was a gift from heaven.
She suddenly worried that this groomsman might steal the spotlight from Lin An, the groom.
But that was obviously unnecessary.
How could Lin An not know the handsomeness of his own brother? He didn’t care about being overshadowed at all; in fact, he felt that having such a high-quality groomsman group was a particularly joyful thing.
They had also agreed that by the time she and Jiang Xiao got married, this groomsman group would become even better.
Song Qiuyu clasped her hands together, already looking forward to the day that promise would be fulfilled.
“Lao Song, something’s off with you!”
Xie Zhuran, with his weathered face, squinted at Song Qiuyu as she walked out of the dressing room.
He felt like something was very wrong with her height.
“What do you mean?”
Song Qiuyu’s expression remained calm.
“Did you secretly put heel inserts in your shoes?!”
Xie Zhuran exposed her without mercy.
“Mm…”
Song Qiuyu bit her lip and glanced sideways at Lin An approaching, trying to change the subject: “Lao Lin, you look really handsome today!”
“Mm, thanks.” Lin An nodded, adjusted his glasses, and looked around at the entire groomsman group.
“Speaking of which, do you still remember the first skit we shot after we met?”
He hadn’t invited many classmates—only those he was close to, like the ones who often participated in their short video shoots and some from the drama club.
The Drama Club President was also among them.
He had also invited Aider, the big blogger he had collaborated with on a major business order, to drink at the wedding.
In short, he had gone all out on social obligations.
For this groomsman group, he had chosen only the top handsome guys he thought were the best.
The Drama Club President was also there, but the standard was no longer about being top-tier handsome; the key was that the other person was willing to happily pay the wedding gift money.
“You’re talking about the skit you did during military training, right? I saw it. It was your debut after entering college. Every aspect was a bit immature, but overall it was pretty good.”
The Drama Club President nodded, his eyes full of praise.
“The skit is one thing; reality is another. The real bridesmaid group might be harder to handle than a bunch of bandits.”
Xie Zhuran also recalled for a moment.
Even though that was his first heart-wrenching experience in cross-dressing, it was still a good memory.
Back then, Lao Jiang was still a quiet kid, relying entirely on Lao Song to lead. All of them must have been single virgins…
Just one year later, all four of them had changed a lot.
Especially Lao Song—she was almost someone’s wife now.
“So, brothers, I’m counting on you today.”
Lin An frowned, his expression serious.
His instinct told him that Xia Qi would sharply increase the difficulty on her side. Today’s wedding might not be easy to pull off.
Of course, this was something everyone who knew Xia Qi’s personality understood.
Even if they didn’t know, they had at least some idea of the oppressive pressure a bridesmaid group could exert.
One woman might not be scary, but when women gather, it becomes something to shudder at.
Fortunately, Lin An’s groomsman group had a mole planted inside.
“Don’t worry, Lao Lin. Our groomsman group won’t let you down!”
Song Qiuyu smiled, clenched a small fist, and pounded her chest twice.
Lin An also smiled.
They began to seriously discuss how to pick up the bride. This time would be a victory for the men!
We will win!
Meanwhile, almost the same thing happened on the bridesmaid side.
After both the groom and the bride entrusted their futures to each other’s groomsmen and bridesmaids, and both sides finalized their strategies, the groomsmen and the groom all got into the cars and officially set off.
The sun was perfect along the way.
The pedestrians walking past the wedding cars on both sides of the road carried shadows of their former selves.
When they arrived at the location, they didn’t immediately face the bridesmaid group.
Instead, they stayed outside the door, recording with a camera while playing a song relay game.
Whoever couldn’t continue had to reveal an embarrassing past story, suffering a little public shame.
And so…
“How could I bear to blame you for your mistake? It was me who gave you too much freedom~”
Xie Zhuran started.
Hearing this song, Song Qiuyu couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Xiao.
Although his expression was calm, she was sure he probably hadn’t heard it before.
Then, after Xie Zhuran finished one line, he looked at the Drama Club President and said, “President, your turn!”
“Let me think… Oh oh! I remember! The next line is, ‘Makes you even lonelier, only to fall into the whirlpool of feelings~~”
The Drama Club President turned his face to Jiang Xiao, grinning evilly, and said, “Jiang Xiao, your turn!”
Jiang Xiao fell into deep thought.
Jiang Xiao’s deep thought almost made Song Qiuyu crack up. So he really hadn’t heard this song!
