Shi Tian was awakened early in the morning by the sound of rain outside the window. He just felt a dull headache due to the hangover.

　　He didn't remember what he dreamed about last night after drinking. He only remembered that it seemed to be something that happened a long time ago. The only impression he had was that the weather in the dream was the same as today, also a rainy day.

　　He subconsciously wanted to turn off Ji Yuanlin's alarm clock and sleep a little longer, but when he turned around and saw that there was no one next to him, he remembered that this person was not there last night.

　　The older generation attaches great importance to traditional marriage customs and believes that a husband and wife should not see each other the night before the wedding, especially sleeping in the same bed, otherwise, it will ruin the good fortune.

　　The two grown men didn't care about these things at first, but because both parents emphasized it, he and Ji Yuanlin decided to act separately the night before their wedding.

　　Ji Yuanlin first moved into Bulgari's hotel suite to prepare for the wedding, while he stayed in the company to handle the final work before going abroad for his honeymoon, and then met up at the wedding the next day.

　　Before driving to the hotel, Shi Tian also took time out to hold a sales meeting with a client far away in Germany.

　　The meeting lasted for two hours. Shi Tian looked at his watch and explained to everyone in the online conference room: "I have something else to do. I will log off first."

　　The foreign director of the client company asked curiously in the meeting room: "Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

　　Shi Tian smiled and said, "I'll take a day off today and go get married."

　　It was already noon when he arrived at the Bulgari Manor, and almost all the bridesmaids and groomsmen for the wedding were already present.

　　The bridesmaids and best men at their wedding were all his and Ji Yuanlin's former high school or college classmates, and there were very few friends they knew in the business world. After all, the friendship of youth is the most precious. After entering society, interpersonal relationships will be more or less mixed with other things.

　　Shi Tian was pushed into the hotel room by his old friends, shouting and yelling, and was almost driven to death by the noise.

He sat in front of the makeup chair. Two of his tall and strong friends who graduated from the Sports Department held his shoulders with one hand each from behind, laughing as they let the hairstylist hold the hairspray and apply it to his head.

　　“… Stop!” Shi Tian’s temples were throbbing. “Stop arguing. If you want to argue, go to the dance studio.”

　　"Xiao Tiantian, this is your big day!"

　　Xu Yan, Shi Tian's high school monitor, held up his phone and looked around for people to take photos with. He sighed to everyone, "My son is finally getting married at the age of 30. As a father, I am really relieved."

　　An Xiaoying, who was sitting next to Xu Yan, couldn't help but chime in: "Boss Shi is really generous. When I asked for my annual leave, I told HR that my friend was getting married and they booked a four-day, three-night trip to the Maldives for us. My colleagues were so envious when they heard about it."

　　"Okay, okay, Boss Shi is the best. Boss Shi is the best." An Xiaoying's fiancé, also their former classmate Cai Tianjie snorted, "Then you might as well just marry Shi Tian."

　　"Cai Tianjie, get out of here!!"

　　The suite was filled with the sounds of these people's laughter and playfulness. A group of old classmates from more than ten years ago got together, and it was as if they had found their organization again. When they went crazy, they were no different from when they were teenagers.

　　It was not until the manor's waiter brought afternoon tea that everyone finally quieted down for a while, gathered together and started eating and chatting.

　　"I didn't expect that after so many years, Shi Tian hasn't changed much, he's still the same as before." Cai Tianjie patted his belly, "Look at me, if I don't exercise for a few days, I'll have a beer belly."

　　Xu Yan laughed and said, "Yuan Lin has changed a lot. I remember that when he was in school, he was like a bamboo pole spirit, with such thick glasses covering his face that I couldn't see what he looked like at that time." He pointed his finger in the air, "I didn't expect that he was a potential stock. Before we knew it, he kidnapped our Xiao Shitian!"

　　"Yes, I originally thought that Shi Tian would be with Zhou——"

　　As soon as Cai Tianjie finished speaking, he saw the female classmates sitting together turned their heads at the same time and looked at him with extremely frightened eyes.

　　Across the coffee table, he saw An Xiaoying shaking her head at him and slowly mouthing the words: Don't.

　　Cai Tianjie quickly fell silent and subconsciously glanced at Shi Tian who was not far away.

　　The person involved obviously heard their conversation, but just smiled slightly in the mirror, without any special reaction, and continued talking to the stylist.

　　What happened between the two people back then has become a taboo topic in their circle.

　　It’s not that you can’t mention it, it’s just that the scar has already formed a scab and there’s no need to uncover it.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

　　After all, time can dilute everything. Look, Shi Tian is about to get married.

　　--

　　In the evening, the hilltop church of Bulgari Manor.

　　Shi Tian stood outside the gate and heard the bells coming from the top of the church from far away.

　　The old wooden door slowly opened to both sides, making a creaking sound. The prayer hall looked solemn and dignified under the light, yet it was decorated magnificently.

　　Shi Tian saw her husband.

　　Ji Yuanlin was wearing the same pure white suit he brought back from Milan. He stood at the end of the aisle, as if he had been waiting for his arrival.

　　He had to admit that Ji Yuanlin did have a very good appearance. If such a person was thrown into a crowd, he would be fanatical and sought after no matter where he was, and would become the most dazzling existence.

　　But from high school to now, this figure has been chasing me, day after day for more than ten years.

　　Walking towards Ji Yuanlin along the flower-covered aisle, Shi Tian saw out of the corner of his eye that his mother, who was sitting in the front row, took out a handkerchief from her handbag and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, but turned her head away so as not to be noticed.

　　He used to occasionally attend other people's weddings and often saw the bride or groom shedding tears on the stage. He knew that it was a product of joy and emotion. From a scientific point of view, excessive excitement leads to sympathetic nervous system control disorder, which will cause the tear glands to secrete a small amount of transparent liquid.

　　Standing side by side with Ji Yuanlin in front of the pastor and listening to the pastor's prayer, Shi Tian also subconsciously blinked slowly.

　　He felt very happy today, but his tear glands were dry and he didn't seem to have any desire to cry.

　　I don’t know if it’s because his tear glands are underdeveloped, but he seems to have only shed tears once since he could remember.

　　"I declare that Mr. Shi Tian and Mr. Ji Yuanlin are officially married as husband and wife starting today."

　　After saying all the prayers, the pastor put down the Bible amid applause: "Mr. Ji, you can kiss your husband now."

　　From the beginning of the ceremony until now, Ji Yuanlin had been intertwining his fingers with his, holding hands tightly, as if afraid that he would run away halfway.

　　Hearing the pastor's words, Ji Yuanlin's fingertips trembled slightly, and finally slowly let go of his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Tiantian, is it okay?"

　　Shi Tian had never seen Ji Yuanlin so nervous before, and couldn't help laughing: "Ji Yuanlin, why are you so careful? Are you afraid that I will run away?"

　　Ji Yuanlin looked into his eyes seriously, then raised his arms, held his face, tilted his head and kissed his lips.

　　Flower petals fell from overhead, and there was a burst of warm cheers in the church, especially from some of their former classmates who cheered the loudest.

　　Ji Yuanlin kissed deeply and too much.

　　It was the first time that Shi Tian kissed someone in front of so many people, so she felt a little embarrassed. She simply closed her eyes and gently and tentatively kissed her husband back.

　　He wanted to tell Ji Yuanlin not to be anxious and to slow down, but he found that as the air he breathed was taken away little by little by the person in front of him, his heartbeat gradually became violent and disordered due to lack of oxygen.

　　An inexplicable emotion attacked his chest and surged into his brain. Shi Tian suddenly felt a softness in his heart, as if it was itchy, or as if it was being pulled in pain.

　　Just like when he left the company last night and saw the package at the front desk.

　　The front desk told him that someone had just sent a local courier, but it had nothing on it except the address and his name.

　He opened the package and found a very old and small thing inside, which was a music player that had been discontinued long ago.

　　Of course he remembered what it was.

　　He secretly bought the MP3 player for Zhou Sifu with the internship salary he had saved with great difficulty. It was not cheap at the time, costing more than 500 yuan each.

　　This was the only thing he left with Zhou Sifu after they broke up.

　　Zhou Sifu returned all the past between them to him.

　　--

　　After entertaining all the guests and settling both sets of parents, it was almost dawn when Ji Yuanlin and Shi Tian returned to the suite at the villa hotel.

　　Although it was their wedding night, both of them had been busy all day. Shi Tian was so tired that his eyes were drooping. As soon as he returned to the hotel, he fell on the bed and died.

　　Ji Yuanlin prepared a bath for Shi Tian, and after he finished, he carried him back to bed and blew dry his hair.

　　Shi Tian leaned on Ji Yuanlin's shoulder, nodding his head: "...Sleep for a while and call me later."

　　Ji Yuanlin rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Tiantian, go to sleep if you are sleepy. I will wake you up tomorrow morning."

　　Since they were all family, Shi Tian didn't hesitate at all. In front of Ji Yuanlin, he closed his eyes, fell back into the quilt with a "bang", and fell asleep in a few seconds.

　　After covering Shi Tian with a blanket and turning off the desk lamp, Ji Yuanlin took out his cell phone and was about to go out to make a call when he suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door.

　　Ji Yuanlin frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

　　"Didn't you see the Do Not Disturb sign outside the door?"

　　The person outside the door didn't say anything.

　　Ji Yuanlin walked to the door with light footsteps and looked out through the peephole. As soon as he saw who was standing outside the door, his face suddenly darkened.

　　After turning around to make sure that the person on the bed was sleeping soundly, he took the room card and walked out of the room, gently closed the door, reached out and pulled the person outside to the elevator at the end of the corridor.

　　Ji Yuanlin no longer maintained his usual demeanor. He had a cold face and a gloomy look on his face: "What are you doing here?"

　　Seeing Ji Yuanlin reaching out to press the elevator button, Cheng Xi grabbed his arm and spoke from under the mask: "Ah Lin, you don't recognize me anymore after you get married?"

　　“…”

　　Ji Yuanlin realized that his reaction just now was a bit too deliberate.

　　He took a deep breath and slowed down his voice: "There are too many people here, I will contact you tomorrow, you go back first and be obedient."

　　However, Chengxi did not listen to him in everything as usual.

　　As soon as Ji Yuanlin finished speaking, Cheng Xi took out a door card from his pocket: "I live next door to you."

　　As if he knew what Ji Yuanlin was wondering, he continued, "The hotel was fully booked by you, so I asked a director to help me book a suite."

　　Ji Yuanlin's eyes tightened, and he suddenly felt that the child in front of him was a little unpredictable: "...What do you want to do?"

　　"I saw the video of your wedding on WeChat Moments." Cheng Xi said indifferently, "I'm upset when you look at him like that."

　　"Xiao Xi, you——"

　　Cheng Xi took off his mask, pointed at the surveillance camera above his head, and looked at the man in front of him with a pair of clear puppy eyes: "If A Lin insists on me leaving, if I accidentally make any noise, he should hear it soon in the room, right?"

　　As he said this, Cheng Xi slowly moved forward, rested his chin on Ji Yuanlin's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "You know, I'm very good in bed."

　　"Alin, I want to do it."
