Chapter 8 The Eccentric Bridegroom

  A riot like this at a wedding is inauspicious for us, and the people around are all discussing it, the whole scene is chaotic. Fortunately, Su Huai Feng's father has a high position, so someone quickly came out to maintain order, and everyone immediately smiled again, hypocritically saying words of blessing.

  Now Su Huai Feng has gone to the restroom to tidy up, we have to wait for him to come back before proceeding with the wedding. Except for Su Huai Feng's mother, all of Su's relatives came to comfort me, but instead, my usually gentle and kind mother-in-law had a serious expression on her face when she entered the hotel, as if something terrible was about to happen.

  I don't know why, but looking at Xiuniang's expression, I felt a surge of inexplicable unease in my heart. Enduring the severe pain that was spreading from my waist, I walked towards Xiuniang and asked her what was wrong, if she was uncomfortable somewhere.

  Grandma Xī saw so many people around me and seemed hesitant to speak, I immediately reacted and said to the people around me "I'll go check on Su Huai Feng first?" Then I asked Grandma Xī to accompany me. Grandma Xī saw that I was wearing high heels and was afraid I'd fall, so she held onto me as we walked. When we reached a secluded spot, Grandma Xī suddenly grabbed my arm, looked at me with a stern expression and said:

  "Xiao Yue, I'm asking you again, did you really burn that wooden puppet that day?"

  When Old Lady Jin asked the question again, I was suddenly startled in my heart. I caught a sense of danger from her words, and inexplicably, my eyes felt hot, and I nodded and said it was burnt. At that time, there was nothing left in the basement.

  Grandma Xiao was silent for a moment, then said to me in an extremely affirmative tone:

  "I felt that this hotel was not clean from the moment I came in, and I suspect that something will come out to haunt us later. You stay here first, I'll go back and get some things and then come over. Remember, if you see such a thing, don't shout, today is your wedding day, can't ruin the scene yourself. If it's really not possible, just call Su Huaifeng for help, this kid doesn't like you, but he's also a good kid, he'll definitely help you."

  My grandma hastily told me something and then quickly pulled my older cousin away, leaving me standing there, unsure of what to do. Everyone was getting impatient, so I walked towards the bathroom, thinking about how to tell Su Huifeng about this matter. As I was deep in thought, I felt like something was staring at me from the front corner. I thought it was Su Huifeng, but when I suddenly looked up, my three souls and six spirits almost flew away! In the corner of the bathroom, I saw the terrifying wooden puppet that had been haunting me earlier! It was standing in front of the wall, revealing half of its pale and frightening face, with bright red eyes staring straight at me, looking extremely eerie and terrifying!

  I couldn't believe my eyes, I stepped back step by step, then turned around and ran wildly. How is it possible? I clearly burned him to death, how could he possibly be alive again in front of me?!

  Fear was expanding infinitely in my heart, and I just wanted to turn around and escape, but at this moment I thought of Su Huaifeng who was still in the bathroom, he hadn't escaped yet!

  Almost without hesitation, I immediately turned my head to rescue Su Huifeng, but after turning around, I didn't see even half a shadow of the wooden puppet. A pot of phoenix bamboo was quietly enjoying the warm light at the corner, not moving an inch. The thing that just happened seemed like my illusion. I tried to walk towards the wall corner and looked down the corridor to the bathroom, still empty.

  Am I wrong?

  I was suspicious and thought about going into the bathroom to see what's going on, but just as my foot was about to step into the bathroom door, I heard my mom's shout from behind me:

  "Rong Yue, don't look for it anymore, Su Huai Feng is waiting for you, hurry back."

  Su Huai Feng left, I stared at the bathroom door in surprise, how did he get out? Obviously, I didn't see him walk out all along! I wanted to step into the bathroom to take a look, but my mom was urging me from behind, so I didn't think much and turned around to follow her to the hall.

  I walked to Su Huai Feng's side with my mother by my side, wearing a light and white wedding dress. Su Huai Feng, for some reason, didn't push me away when I tried to hold his arm, but instead calmly walked with me towards the wedding officiant, surrounded by everyone, to the accompaniment of the Wedding March.

  Su Huai Feng's calmness made me feel a faint sense of unease in my heart. According to his personality, how could he have adjusted his mood in an instant? Didn't he dislike me? But now he was tightly holding my hand, what did this mean?

  I couldn't help but look up at Su Huai Feng's face, and I don't know if it was because I hadn't really looked at him in a long time, but after he came out of the bathroom, his originally slightly tanned skin seemed to have become much paler than before, his expression calm, even the faint anger that had been hidden in his eyes earlier was now as clear and cold as the soft moonlight on a quiet night.

  "Just now, how come I didn't see you coming out?" I asked Su Huaifeng in a low voice. After all, I really wanted to know how he came out when there was only one way out of the bathroom.

  Su Huai Feng turned his head to look at me, but didn't say anything. His expression was calm and serene. The host on the stage smiled and gestured for us to go up. At this moment, Su Huai Feng suddenly picked me up in his arms. In my shocked gaze, he carried me onto the stage. As he scanned the crowd below with his eyes, I saw from his gaze that he was unfamiliar with these people. Even when he looked at his father's relatives, his gaze was the same as when he looked at strangers!

  The doubts in my heart grew bigger, I stood beside Su Huai Feng, yet I couldn't feel even a hint of her presence, it was as if the person standing next to me was someone else!

  But doubts are still doubts, after all, Su Huifeng is a living person standing in front of me, and I didn't think much about it. The host stood in front of Su Huifeng and me, just like the scene on TV, asking Su Huifeng if he was willing to marry me as his wife, whether rich or poor, willing to protect me and love me, and hold hands with me until we grow old together?

  Su Huai Feng lowered her head and looked at me, stretching out her hand to wipe my face:

  "Agreed."

  Su Huai Feng said this, and I felt a sense of discomfort rising up inside me, but couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. Su Huai Feng finished speaking, and the emcee immediately followed up with the same question to me: "Are you willing to accompany the groom forever?"

  I raised my head to look at Su Huai Feng, he was also looking at me, I didn't speak for a moment, staring straight into Su Huai Feng's eyes! The crystal lamp on the top of our heads shone brightly, reflecting in Su Huai Feng's pupils, it looked good, but it was also when I thought Su Huai Feng's eyes were too good-looking, that his left eye started to turn red, as red as the fresh blood I accidentally dripped into the wooden puppet's eyes that day!
