Chapter 731 Wedding Under the Night
Jiang Xiao and the others settled down on Tree Island, and the wedding day was approaching day by day.
Two more groups of friends came to Fang Xingyun's side, and without exception, they all brought their children. One family even had two parents, each holding a chubby little one, extremely cute.
Jiang Xiao keenly noticed that at least one Star Warrior was in each family, and among these guests, there were no teachers from the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University, which made Jiang Xiao secretly wonder who Fang's teacher's close friends were.
Childhood friends? High school classmates? College classmates?
In contrast, Li Wei, whom Hai Tianqing had invited, did not appear until the wedding day.
After all, he went to the Northern Military Academy. It was normal not to get leave.
Hai Tianqing didn't show anything, and Jiang Xiao and the others were very tactful and didn't mention it.
On June 22nd, the day before the wedding, the priest arrived.
Jiang Xiao thought that since it was a Western-style wedding, there should be a bachelor party the night before the wedding.
However, Jiang Xiao was overthinking it. Everyone was playing together every day, swimming and sunbathing on the beach during the day, and having dinner together at night. The so-called bachelor party did not appear on the list of wedding options.
These days, Jiang Xiao has also opened his eyes and encountered many strange Star Pets on the beach and in the forest.
Someone once said that the Star Beasts in the sea that are close to land are mostly harmless to humans and animals and are relatively weak. Those real ocean overlords are forever hidden in the deep sea.
Facts have proved this point. Whether it is Jiang Xiao's personal experience, or the feedback from seaside cities to the world over the years, this rule has never been broken.
...
June 23rd, the big day finally arrived!
However, everyone's waiting had to continue for a day, because the wedding ceremony was held in the evening.
Until dusk, the sun dyed the distant horizon a reddish halo, and in the deep forest, warm little colored lights lit up.
Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue sat in the first row of seats. A gentle breeze blew through the trees, rustling the leaves.
Behind the arch made of flowers in front, an elderly pastor stood on the stage, a book on the table, smiling, waiting for the bride and groom to enter.
A white carpet was laid on the lawn, passing through the flower gate from the stage where the pastor stood, separating the two sides of seats, and following the lawn to the distant forest.
Even so, everyone knew what kind of person would come out of there.
It is worth mentioning that in this not-so-large wedding venue, some things like "night-shining pearls" were scattered all over the lawn. The lights were very soft, even a little dim, which was very suitable for the scene.
Jiang Xiao knew that this was a lighting-type Star Technique, made by Fang's teacher's friend, and the brightness was specially lowered.
Unlike those waiting guests, Jiang Xiao, in a suit, was standing at a corner of the stage, standing side by side with Hai Tianqing, whispering something.
The bride had not yet entered, and most people's eyes were focused on the groom, wondering what the groom and best man were talking about.
Xia Yan was really curious, secretly hating herself for not having a passive perception-type Star Technique. She tried to observe Jiang Xiao's lip movements, but found that he blocked his mouth as he spoke.
So annoying!
Xia Yan gritted her teeth. She suddenly had the urge to cry and use her Domain Tear Star Technique...
Han Jiangxue just silently looked at Jiang Xiao in formal attire, seemingly never getting enough of him.
She was used to him wearing boundless clothes every day, which was really troubling.
In Jiang Xiao's life, it seemed that only the Chinese national team uniform could satisfy Han Jiangxue a little. As for all the other clothes, they were gaudy and made her headache.
The dark, fitted suit perfectly outlined Jiang Xiao's body lines. His posture was upright, and his buzz cut was neat and tidy, making him look very energetic.
Well... that's all that can be said about Jiang Xiao, because he was standing next to Hai Tianqing. Jiang Xiao perfectly met the conditions of a best man, completely highlighting Hai Tianqing's handsome and dashing appearance.
Jiang Xiao clearly felt someone staring at him. He looked over and winked in Han Jiangxue's direction.
"Ugh, uncomfortable." Xia Yan muttered beside Han Jiangxue, "Hey, what do you think they're talking about?"
Han Jiangxue smiled, retracted her gaze, and shook her head slightly.
Actually... well, Jiang Xiao didn't really say anything.
Jiang Xiao: "Teacher Hai, you guys are wise, holding the wedding at night, at least it's cooler. If it was held at noon, my suit would be completely wet."
Hai Tianqing's voice trembled a little, obviously nervous: "I'm already wet."
Jiang Xiao: "......"
"Here, wipe your sweat." Jiang Xiao hurriedly took out a tissue from his back pocket and handed it to Hai Tianqing.
Suddenly, music sounded, echoing in this lawn, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, and passed into the deep forest.
Everyone hurriedly turned around and looked behind them.
Jiang Xiao also pushed Hai Tianqing, signaling him to go on stage and stand below the pastor.
"Hehe." A bouncing little angel walked out first, carrying a flower basket and wearing a pure smile on her face.
Song Duoduo...
She was obviously past the age of being a flower girl, but there was also a benefit, that is, she was old enough to know what she should do.
She carried a flower basket in one hand and kept scattering flowers in the other, and her happy smile easily infected the audience.
Behind, Fang Xingyun walked out slowly in a snow-white wedding dress.
"Yo-hoo!"
"Shh~"
Cheers and whistles rang out. Although there were less than 20 guests, they gave the newlyweds enough enthusiastic support.
"Teacher Fang is so beautiful!" Xia Yan turned to look at Fang Xingyun, with her hands shaped like a megaphone, shouting loudly.
Fang Xingyun generously waved and smiled at the crowd. Behind her, a slightly plump middle-aged woman walked out, carrying Fang Xingyun's long train.
This wedding was a bit special, and some of the necessary rituals were omitted, and some people were also omitted.
Fang Xingyun and Hai Tianqing didn't even want a best man, bridesmaid, or flower girl at first. These were all factors that were added after their friends came.
Fang Xingyun had no parents to accompany her. Although there was a flower girl in front and a bridesmaid in the back, Fang Xingyun was still considered alone.
In this way, she handed herself into Hai Tianqing's hands.
Only a small half of the long wedding carpet had been walked, and Hai Tianqing's eyes were already red. Standing below the pastor, he covered his eyes with one hand.
Jiang Xiao was so anxious!
It's okay to cry, but you're crying too early!
You can cry later when you exchange rings and say your vows. Everyone's eyes are on the bride. Are you forcibly stealing the show!?
Jiang Xiao hated that he wanted to give Hai Tianqing a Diamond Blessing to let him experience what a Holy Light Array is...
This wedding, although not formal, was more sincere than many weddings.
Fang Xingyun walked on the white carpet, with a faint smile on her face, her beautiful eyes passed through the flower gate, looking at Hai Tianqing, whose eyes were red, and she said softly: "Duoduo, go comfort your Uncle Hai, tell him not to cry."
"Ah." Song Duoduo was in high spirits scattering flowers. Hearing the bride's order, she didn't care about anything and ran over.
Everyone watched in surprise as the little guy ran past the flower gate and came to Hai Tianqing, frantically scattering flowers on his head: "Uncle Hai, wait a little longer, Auntie Fang can't walk fast wearing a skirt..."
Such naive words made everyone laugh. Everything here seemed so beautiful.
Xu Li, whose face was always serious, also had a faint smile on his face.
The fairy-like Fang Xingyun, wearing a white wedding dress, finally passed through the flower gate, stood next to Hai Tianqing, and stood face to face with him, smiling at the unpromising Hai Tianqing.
Hai Tianqing was indeed unpromising, but he was indeed the envy of others.
Ever since Fang Xingyun came out in a wedding dress, Hai Tianqing's state was abnormal. In fact, he was not normal when he was anxiously waiting...
Fang Xingyun suddenly turned her head and said to the pastor: "Can we skip the speech part?"
"Of course, child." The old pastor smiled, having presided over too many weddings. He had seen all kinds of newlyweds. He opened his mouth and said, "But if you have anything to say, now is a good time."
Fang Xingyun looked at Hai Tianqing with a smile and said, "Keep everything simple."
The pastor nodded and said, "Hai Tianqing, are you willing to accept Fang Xingyun as your lawful wife?"
"Heh..." Hai Tianqing took a deep breath and said, "I do."
Pastor: "Fang Xingyun, are you willing to accept Hai Tianqing as your lawful husband?"
Fang Xingyun: "I do."
Pastor: "Now, please exchange rings."
On the side, Jiang Xiao hurried onto the stage, took out a small square box from his pocket, and handed it up.
Hai Tianqing's palms trembled slightly as he put the ring on Fang Xingyun.
In the guest seats below, two people suddenly turned their heads to look. Similarly, Xu Li, who was sitting behind Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue, also frowned and turned to look.
As the swaying figure in the forest slowly walked out, Xu Li's eyebrows raised slightly, slightly surprised, it was actually Er Wei?
The huge figure did not enter the venue, but stood at the edge of the forest, looking at the couple on the stage from afar.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife." The old pastor looked at Hai Tianqing and said, "You may kiss your bride."
Er Wei came at the right time. She caught the most important moment.
Hai Tianqing lowered his head and kissed Fang Xingyun, and the atmosphere at the scene became lively again.
Click!
Xia Yan took out her mobile phone and captured this beautiful scene.
The music sounded again, and Hai Tianqing and Fang Xingyun walked down, and suddenly discovered the last guest who had arrived at the edge of the forest.
Hai Tianqing looked surprised. Under Fang Xingyun's slight tug on his arm, he recovered and nodded gratefully to Er Wei.
Er Wei nodded slightly, turned around and left, disappearing into the forest.
On one side of the stage, Jiang Xiao looked at Er Wei leaving in shock.
Are you a little too cool!?
Just left like that?
I'm still standing here! Not even saying hello?
Am I, the dignified Pi God, so unimportant?
Er Wei did leave. The wedding dinner was held on the beach. When everyone got on a small vehicle and drove on the forest path to the beach, they heard the sound of a helicopter flying away in the night sky.
...
The sea breeze was gentle. The temperature on Tree Island at the end of June was still pleasant at night.
Jiang Xiao hadn't recovered from Er Wei's departure, and the wedding dinner had already begun. At some point, a huge cage car had been parked on the beach.
"Wow, there's a special arrangement? What is this?" Xia Yan sat at a small table and looked at the car curiously.
"You'll find out later. Xingyun doesn't even know." Li Wanyu walked over and said with a smile, throwing a crystal ball with a faint luster in one hand.
When Fang Xingyun changed into a second, shorter wedding dress and arrived at the beach banquet with Hai Tianqing, the beach was already covered with faint fluorescent crystal balls, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
"What is this?" Fang Xingyun looked at the car curiously and turned to look at Hai Tianqing.
"Surprise." Hai Tianqing chuckled, twirling the diamond ring on his ring finger, "Go ahead, go sit down and watch."
"Hmm?" Fang Xingyun looked at Hai Tianqing expectantly, gently kissed Hai Tianqing's cheek, and joined the banquet.
Twenty or so people sat at the small tables in twos and threes, watching Hai Tianqing walk towards the cage car.
Hai Tianqing waved to Li Wanyu in the distance, and Li Wanyu nodded with a smile.
Li Wanyu spread her hands, and a dozen crystal balls slowly floated up and flew into the night sky. Compared with the dim crystal balls on the ground, the crystal balls in the sky were much brighter.
Hai Tianqing beckoned to Jiang Xiao and came to the front of the dovecote car. The two of them held a door with one hand. The door was louvered. Just pull it down.
Jiang Xiao walked forward blankly. Although he didn't know what was going to happen, such a simple operation couldn't stump him.
"3...2...1!" Hai Tianqing counted down the numbers, and Jiang Xiao each pulled down two louver doors.
Flutter flutter...
Flutter flutter...
Groups of glass gulls flew out of the dovecote car and into the night sky. The irregular-shaped transparent bodies emitted a strange luster under the light of the crystal balls, and flew into the night sky in groups.
"Wow!" Xia Yan looked at the crystal-clear glass gulls in amazement.
Even Han Jiangxue on the side crossed her fingers and held them in front of her. Under her cold shell, her girlish heart was also revealed.
Everyone was watching this beautiful scene, watching the glass gulls flying in the crystal ball array, watching the slightly flickering beautiful night sky.
Hai Tianqing, however, was leaning against the dovecote car, sitting on the beach, staring unblinkingly at the woman in the white wedding dress in the banquet.
On the side, Jiang Xiao knelt on the beach with his head in his hands, his body against the tires of the dovecote car.
After a while, he carefully revealed his eyes and looked around, following people's gazes, and saw the groups of glass gulls circling in the crystal ball array in the sky.
Jiang Xiao sat down on the beach with a thud, so many of them, it scared me to death...
