1774 [Side Story] wedding (4)
Fati had seen someone secretly taking photos of the bottom of a woman's skirt just now. It was almost mad with anger. This was not some random place, but a sacred place. This kind of behavior was tantamount to blasphemy. If it was the old Fati, it would at least bite off one of the man's hands ... No, if it was the old Fati who had not converted, it would not have cared about this kind of thing.
Zhang Zian first found an excuse to squeeze out of the crowd and made a gesture to it. It also came out of the crowd, and its body was covered with the fragrance of makeup.
It knew what he was going to ask, so it said directly,""I don't know what the groom looks like, but in the church's repair room, there's a man who fits the description."
Zhang Zian was stunned. A cultivation room?
The doomsday room was the confessionary room. It was a small room provided by the church for the people to repent to God. Regardless of whether they were believers or not, they could enter to repent. As the spokesperson of God, the priest would listen to God's confession on his behalf, open up and forgive his confession. Furthermore, the priest would keep the confessioner's confession a secret to a certain extent, unless it involved criminal behavior.
Fati nodded."Because the person in the repair room was wearing a formal dress and a bow tie."
The groom could wear either a suit or a suit for a western wedding. The formal suit was probably requested by Shishi. After all, most women hoped for a once-in-a-lifetime wedding and wanted to leave a perfect Memorial on this one and only wedding.
Among all the young men present, only the groom would wear a suit.
"Alright, let's go find him."
Zhang Zian wondered what the groom was confessing. Could it be that he really didn't like Shishi and was forced to get married due to the pressure around him?
Things like repentance were actually more of a form of self-relief and could be considered as a form of psychological treatment. One could tell their suppressed thoughts to someone who would keep their secrets for them in order to obtain peace and salvation in their heart ... As for the effect of being forgiven by God, it was either believed or not.
At the entrance of the church, he was stopped by a volunteer. He was told that people could enter, but dogs could not. Otherwise, what if the dog pooped or barked in the church?
He peeked inside and saw that there were already many members of the church gathered in the church. There were Chinese and foreigners. Everyone was chatting in a low voice affectionately, waiting for the beginning of Mass. Some were even carrying babies to be baptized.
He had no choice but to tie Fati to the outside as a symbolic gesture. He entered the church, bypassed the seating area, entered the side hall, and went upstairs.
The cultivation room was generally located in a relatively secluded location in the church, so that confessioners could confide in the priest without being disturbed.
However, when he went up to the second floor, he was stopped by a volunteer who was waiting outside the Shuhe room.
"Are you here to repent? Please wait a moment, there's already someone inside. "
Zhang Zian couldn't get in, but Richard quietly jumped out of the cage. It knew that the volunteers would definitely hear it if it flapped its wings and flew, so it jumped on the carpet and slipped in.
The real mending room was just a very small wooden hut, with a door on each side. The confessionist stayed on one side, and the priest who was listening to the confession on the other side. The middle was separated by wooden boards, so they could not see each other. The door was full of small holes, and the confessioners and priests could not be seen from the outside, but they could tell if there was anyone inside the door through the shadows.
Richard noticed that there was only a figure on the left side of the room, and the right side was empty, which meant that the priest had not come yet. After all, it was Christmas, and the clergymen should be very busy.
The one on the left was probably the groom.
So, it jumped to the right side of the door, opened the door with its claws, jumped in, and closed the door.
"Ahem!" It coughed and said pretentiously,""Speak, tell me what crime you have committed, my child."
It didn't know the exact process of repentance, but fortunately, the other party didn't know that the man and bird were the real Li Gui and had met the fake Li Kui.
Liu sanlang had been struggling for a long time. When the "priest" finally came, he said quickly,""Father, will you keep what I say here a secret?"
"Of ... Of course I'll keep your secret," said Richard."Don't worry, my child."
It would never let go of anything that it could take advantage of verbally.
He heaved a sigh of relief. Since he was here, he could only trust the credibility of this "priest."
"Father, I'm guilty. It's too difficult for me ..."
He had been under a lot of pressure ever since the proposal.
Relatives and friends were giving him all kinds of half-joking hints. "You've been together for quite a while, right? when are you getting married?"
When they went shopping together, Shishi seemed to like children very much.
When he returned to his parents 'house, his parents would always say,""While we're still healthy, if you give birth early, we can help you take care of ..."
Perhaps the speaker did not mean it, but the listener took note of it. Of course, he was the one who took the initiative to pursue Shishi. Now that they were together, and they were not particularly young, would the status quo remain? Wasn't that ... A scumbag?
Once, he had proposed to her on impulse. Although she was surprised, she agreed the next day. Then, she told her friends and family to start preparing for the wedding.
The process of marriage was more torturous than imagined. It was not only a marriage between two people, but also a competition between two families. They had a lot of disagreements because of various problems. They even had to argue about the date and the location of their honeymoon. It made the two mentally and physically exhausted, and their financial problems were like a mountain pressing on their heads.
Shishi didn't save much money for eating, drinking, and having fun. She basically belonged to the moonlight and didn't want to reduce the quality of her life after marriage.
He had some savings, but he had to take a car loan for two to three years to save face.
The economic situation was not good, and both of them had no hope of getting a promotion and a raise in the short term.
It was not fair to say that he was the only one who had the intention to retreat, because Shishi had said 'forget it' more than once.
The closer it was to the wedding date, the less heated the relationship between the two was. It was because of the various problems exposed in the wedding preparation process.
Dating was one thing, but getting married was another.
He had finally come to this point after all the obstacles along the way. He suddenly began to doubt himself. Could it be that he didn't really like Shishi? otherwise, why would there be so many twists and turns? Then, he tried to convince himself that he liked Shishi.
The marriage certificate had been collected, and the Chinese wedding had been held. After today's western wedding, the two of them were going to use the New Year's holiday, marriage leave, and Spring Festival holiday to go on a honeymoon abroad. So, what was done was done, but he had to find a place to talk about the entanglement and depression in his heart.
Richard listened to his long-winded speech, which was as stinky and long as an old lady's foot-binding cloth, and he became impatient.
"Then, let me ... Let me point you in the right direction." He interrupted.
"Oh? What clear path?" Liu sanlang asked anxiously.
"Actually, you're not the only man who is confused before marriage. I've heard many similar confessions."
Liu sanlang felt much better after hearing that. He was not the only one who was like that.
"So, you can register an alternate account on a social app, post your feelings on the internet, and leave your contact information. There will definitely be people who are in the same situation as you who will contact you. You men can form a group, preferably a group from the same city, and confide in each other in the group. Or, when your wife is not around, you can simply go to a bar for a drink and improve your relationship through face-to-face chat ..."
At first, Liu sanlang nodded his head to learn, but he felt weird when he heard about improving their relationship ...
"I know someone. He's an owner of a pet shop in the east of the city. His surname is Zhang or something. He's quite famous in the city. Have you heard of him?"
"Zhang? A pet shop? I've heard of it, and I even know it! Zhang Zian, right?" "What happened to him?" Liu sanlang was surprised.
"In fact, he often comes here to repent because he has been troubled by similar anxiety, so he has never gotten married ... He has created a group. You can ask for the group number from him. There are many people in the group who share the same goal. You will definitely be able to find your own kind in the group."
Liu sanlang felt much better. He thought it was because of his repentance, but in fact, it was just because he said what he had been holding back.
"I understand. Thank you, Father. I've learned a lot from talking to you. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come and visit again."
He had never intended to run away from the marriage from the beginning. They had already collected their marriage certificate and had a Chinese wedding. What was the point of running away from a western wedding?
He left the cultivation room, bowed respectfully to the wooden door on the other side, and then left the room.
Unexpectedly, he met Zhang Zian outside the room. He was stunned at first, then immediately remembered that the "priest" had said that Zhang Zian often came to repent, and he immediately believed the "priest's" words without a doubt.
Zhang Zian saw him come out and said,""What are you still doing here? It's getting late, hurry ..."
Liu sanlang walked closer and said in a low voice,"Manager Zhang, what's the group number?"
"What group ID?" Zhang Zian was stunned by the question.
Liu sanlang gave him a meaningful smile, patted his shoulder and said,""You're right, don't doubt yourself, just continue being single. Don't be like me, a single mistake can cause a lifetime of regret ... When I come back from my honeymoon, you must tell me the group number, I want to interact more with those men."
After that, he turned around and went downstairs to attend the wedding, leaving Zhang Zian, who was still confused.
He was terrified when he thought about it. This guy was indeed a well-hidden ...
The wedding went according to the procedure and went smoothly.
After the bride and groom exchanged their rings and kissed under the mistletoe tree, it was time for the bridesmaid's most anticipated event.
Shishi, who was wearing a white wedding dress, raised the bouquet in her hand and threw it high.
She had already seen where Zhao Qi was standing, and of course, she had to throw the bouquet at her best friend.
Zhao Qi reached out her hand expectantly, ready to accept her best friend's blessing.
A gray shadow flew past in the air. Richard appeared halfway and flew away with the bouquet in his mouth. The wedding scene fell silent.
Facing the murderous gazes of more than ten bridesmaids, led by Zhao Qi, Zhang Zian complained endlessly.
