Last night, the moon was bright and the stars were numerous. This morning, it was actually drizzling. Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, I laughed at myself. Even the heavens are reminding me that today is a sad day.
The 8th of March, the auspicious day of Lu Kai and Yun Shu's wedding, was like countless ants in my mind, slowly gnawing at my fragile soul, causing me to lose my appetite and sleep for the past half a month. Everything was set in stone today. I should have forgotten the past and generously sent my blessings to Lu Kai and Yun Shu, but I didn't expect the dark face of the heavens to cover my heart with a layer of frost. There's no right or wrong in matters of the heart. Since I love Lu Kai, then I should accept his choice and not give him any more pressure. Yun Shu's illness was his eternal pain. I could only smile and wish them well. Perhaps Lu Kai would feel at ease and truly start a happy life. Even if this happiness was fleeting, as long as he experienced it, it would be the best memory of his life.
Suddenly, my phone rang. Seeing that it was Yanzi, I slowly picked up the phone."Yanzi, what are you doing?"
"Today is Lu Kai and Yun Shu's wedding. Are you okay? What I mean is that we shouldn't go!”Yanzi was afraid that I would be agitated at the wedding venue, so she gently stopped me.
When I heard Yanzi's voice, I suddenly seemed to have seen through everything. I smiled indifferently and said,"Why not? In order to attend his wedding, I bought a gown last week!”Lu Kai and Yun Shu's true love deeply touched me. In order for this pair of unfortunate lovers to receive everyone's blessings, I decided to dress myself up beautifully and witness their great love with my own eyes. I also wanted Lu Kai to accompany Yun Shu on his final journey without any worries.
"You even bought a gown? Are you really not sad?" Yanzi asked me in disbelief, but hearing my calm tone, her tone became much more relaxed.
"Is there any use in being sad? If you love someone, you should respect their choice. Since Yun Shu is the love of Lu Kai's life, I can only wish them well!”Looking at the raindrops outside the window, I should be crying, but I didn't expect that at this moment, I was so strong. There was no resentment, no tears, no loss, everything was so normal!
"Can you really let it go?"
"So what if I can't let go? I only hope that Lu Kai will be happy!"
"No matter what you do, I will support you. Yun Shu's illness is beyond cure. It's only a matter of time before Lu Kai accepts you!”
"Don't say that. Today is Yunshu's big day. I hope that she can always be by Lu Kai's side!”I knew that Yun Shu didn't have much time left, but when I thought of Lu Kai's pitiful and helpless appearance when he lost Yun Shu, I really hoped that Yun Shu could miraculously live on.
"I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous. Good people will be rewarded. The heavens will definitely send an angel to protect you!”
"Thank you. It's getting late. Come to my house in half an hour to pick me up!”
"Alright, I'll be right there!" Seeing that I was in a good mood, Yanzi hung up the phone with relief.
I put down my phone and took out the dress I bought last week from the closet. I specially prepared this dress for Lu Kai's wedding. Although it's not noble and elegant, it's fresh and refined. It's very compatible with my aloof personality. I changed into a dress in front of the mirror and immediately felt much more energetic. My complexion seemed to be very good, and I didn't look like I was heartbroken at all. I put in so much effort to dress up so that I can leave my happy and sunny side to Lu Kai, so that he doesn't have to feel guilty for rejecting me.
Downstairs, Yanzi kept honking in the car. I hurriedly changed into my high heels and looked at myself in the mirror to make sure that I was properly packed before I left the house with my bag…
Lu Kai and Yun Shu's wedding banquet was held at Tianhao Hotel in the city center. Outside the hotel, there was a lot of traffic and the sound of salutes. Yanzi spent a lot of effort to find a parking space. After parking the car, Yanzi and I walked into the hotel side by side. There was still half an hour before the wedding ceremony. Lu Kai was dressed in a white suit, making him look even more handsome. Although Yun Shu, who was beside him, had heavy makeup on, he still looked pale and haggard. Due to her long-term chemotherapy, her black hair had almost fallen off. The big wavy hair on her head today was obviously fake. The torture of the disease made Yun Shu as thin as a stick. The white and noble wedding dress on her body looked unusually wide. I couldn't help but feel pity for her and secretly cursed the heavens for being so blind. How could such a kind and beautiful girl have the heart to let her get cancer?
Just as I was feeling sad for Yun Shu, Lu Kai saw me and Yanzi among the guests. He had already held Yun Shu's hand and walked to our side with a smile.
"I wish you all the best!" Seeing Yunshu's frail appearance, I smiled and held her dry hands as I sincerely said.
Yun Shu looked at me, touched. He forced a smile."Thank you for coming to my wedding with Lu Kai!”
Lu Kai looked at my sincerity and smiled.""Thank you for your blessings. I'm really happy that you and Yanzi can come!”
Seeing Lu Kai's sincere gaze, my calm heart started beating violently again. My expression also became very ugly, and my eyes were almost moist. I thought that I could easily let go of this relationship, but it seems that I was just deceiving myself.
Yanzi saw that I was a little out of control and was afraid that my feelings for Lu Kai would be seen through by Yun Shu. She hurriedly stood in front of me and smiled softly."Lu Kai, you guys go and welcome the other guests. Ye Qiu and I are not outsiders, so you don't have to worry about us!”
A trace of guilt flashed across Lu Kai's face, but he immediately put on a smile. He glanced at Yanzi and me and said softly,""Then find a seat and sit anywhere you want. Yunshu and I will go and get busy.”
I endured the pain in my heart and forced out a smile. I nodded and said,"Okay, you and Iris go ahead.”
Yun Shu gave me a warm smile, then held Lu Kai's arm and slowly walked out of the hall to welcome the new guests at the hotel entrance.
Yanzi dragged me to a corner with fewer people and said in a low voice,"What's wrong with you? Didn't he say that he could let go? If it doesn't work, we'll go back now!”
I didn't say anything and just silently watched Lu Kai's back.
"It's not easy for Yunshu either. She's about to die. Do you want her to know your feelings for Lu Kai?”
"No, how can I make things difficult for Yun Shu? It's just that I can't help myself when I see Lu Kai!”
"Then let's go back!" Yanzi was afraid that I would lose control of my emotions again when the wedding started, so she wanted to persuade me to leave.
I took a deep breath and forced the tears in my eyes back into my stomach. I looked up and said,"I'm fine. I'll control myself and never let Yunshu see through me!”
"Are you really alright?" Yanzi looked at me in disbelief. She and I grew up together, and she knows my character the best. How can I let go of the man I love marrying another woman?
I knew that Yanzi was worried about me. In order to reassure her, I forced a smile and said,"Are you crazy? I already said that I'm fine! Come, let's find a seat!"
Yanzi saw my smile and felt relieved. She pulled me to a more secluded seat in the hall. I looked up and saw Lu Kai holding Yun Shu's hand tightly at the entrance of the hotel. They were so loving that I couldn't help but think of my wedding with Gu Cheng. I remember that day when I wore the wedding dress that he had specially tailored for me and stunned everyone. He gently held my hand and said that he would accompany me no matter if I was sick or old. These words were still clear and distinct, but he had already become someone else's husband, and we were like strangers. We had once loved each other passionately, and we had also made a promise of eternal love. However, this love could not withstand the trivialities of life and could not withstand the test of time. Looking at Lu Kai and Yun Shu snuggling up to each other, this relationship should have borne fruit, but in the end, it could not escape the arrangement of fate.
Thinking of my failed marriage and Lu Kai's fruitless love, the tears I held back just now poured out like a flood. Yanzi saw my sad look and hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to me. The others at the table looked at me strangely. An old lady was very angry and muttered,"Mr. Lu and Miss Yun are overjoyed. Why are you crying? How unlucky!”
I wiped my tears with a tissue and didn't dare to look at Lu Kai and Yun Shu again.
Yanzi glared at the old lady and snapped,""My friend's eyes are just a little sore. Why would she cry in such a lively atmosphere?”
The wedding was held at 12 o'clock sharp. Amid the melodious wedding march, beautiful wedding photos of Lu Kai and Yun Shu appeared on the big screen in the banquet hall. They were either playing barefoot on the beach or kissing sweetly on the green grass. Every photo was filled with love. The smile on Lu Kai's lips was also a kind of happiness and satisfaction that I had never seen before. Page after page of photos were displayed in front of the guests. A young emcee in a black suit walked to the big screen and told many beautiful love stories. Finally, he clapped and invited the bride and groom to enter. Amidst the sound of the gun salute outside the hotel and the pleasant accompaniment of the wedding song, Lu Kai was dressed in a white gown. With a smile on his face, he helped Yun Shu, who was dressed in a white wedding dress, to the front of the stage. Although Yun Shu's face was pale and his figure was thin, he attracted everyone's attention at this moment. The emcee used all the beautiful words in his memory to praise Yun Shu's beauty and kindness, as well as Lu Kai's handsome infatuation. All the guests present stretched out their palms and clapped hard. I also stretched out my trembling hands from my pocket and gave the loudest applause to their hard-pressed lovers. A woman who fought against her illness was worthy of everyone's applause. A loyal man who never left her was worthy of respect and imitation by the whole world. Then, Lu Kai looked at the smiling Yun Shu in a daze, afraid that if he blinked, Yun Shu would disappear from his life again.
Looking at Lu Kai's burning gaze, I really wished that the person standing beside him at this moment was me, but this was just wishful thinking. He said that no matter if Yun Shu was alive or dead, he would only love her. The emcee stood beside Lu Kai and Yun Shu, praising them with the most beautiful words in the world, affirming their difficult love. Everyone present was listening attentively. They were moved to tears by Lu Kai and Yun Shu's poignant love, and I was already in tears. In my blurry vision, I saw the handsome young man from seven years ago. During the peach blossom season, he became my eternal concern...
