Chapter Eighteen: From now on, Xiao Lang is a passerby

  On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, auspicious, suitable for marriage and relocation.

  Today's Nancheng is filled with joy, early in the morning, there are cranes dancing, magpies circling the city, and flowers blooming continuously, forming a double happiness character in the sky above Nancheng.

  Today, the son of the principal of Nancheng Middle School got married. As the principal of the only middle school in Nancheng, his only son's wedding was naturally a grand affair, with all the big shots in town flocking to attend. The bride's side wasn't from any high-ranking family, and those who came were just some old classmates.

  Chun Qiu Wang trailed behind Lin Huang, choosing an inconspicuous spot to sit down and speaking in a low voice: "How is it? I'll call some people over first. If we need to take action and grab someone later, there will be some support."

  "Shut up and be quiet." Lin Huang said faintly, his expression somewhat dazed.

  Bright red candles, joyful music, today the hall is filled with guests, today a happy event arrives. At some point in the past, it seemed that he had also thought of today in his heart.

  Unfortunately, after today's encounter, Xiao Lang will become a stranger again.

  "Is that Lin Huang?"

  "Is he coming too?"

  "Isn't he the one who was involved in a cult and became a fugitive? How dare he come back? Is everything okay now?"

  "Mind your own business, hehe, Lin Huang, Chen Ruo. Maybe there's a good show to watch today."

  The seemingly secretive whispers all fell into Lin Huang's ears, and when he looked up, it was a few of his former classmates. As he listened to their words, Lin Huang's expression became increasingly indifferent, with a hint of dust rising from him.

  Wu Cheng had actually discovered Lin Huang's arrival earlier. As the groom and also a former classmate of Lin Huang, he was aware of Chen Ruo and Lin Huang's past affair. Although Chen Ruo said she met Lin Huang yesterday and invited him, Wu Cheng did not expect Lin Huang to actually show up.

  Hesitating for a moment, Wu Cheng still stepped forward and whispered in Lin Huang's ear: "Today is my big happy day, don't make trouble."

  "They will come later, including several of my teachers from Yue Shan Academy, who are all prominent figures with noble titles. Don't be misled."

  After finishing speaking, Wu Cheng's face showed a smile, and he patted Lin Huang's shoulder, held his head high and walked past Lin Huang to the door to continue welcoming guests with his parents.

  Everyone thought Wu Cheng came over to show off in front of Lin Huang, but unexpectedly it ended like this. The old classmates who were secretly watching from the side couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After hesitating for a while, still no one went up to greet Lin Huang.

  "Your interpersonal relationship is really poor." Spring and Autumn King muttered, "You said your interpersonal relationship would be so bad that there wouldn't even be a single classmate coming to greet you."

  "Sparrows can't understand the ambitions of swans, this is normal." Lin Huang said.

  His heart was firm, never wavering, only wanting to become a god. In the past, it was difficult for his fellow students to understand him, they thought he was crazy, stupid, weak-minded, and an arrogant fool. He also felt that they were mediocre and not worth mentioning.

  "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at them for not seeing through."

  Lin Arrogant whispered a sentence, and suddenly burst into laughter on his face. "I thought I was almost like these people, mediocre, burying my dreams. I feel that attending this wedding is really good, really good. In the red dust, there are only ordinary people, no need to be nostalgic."

  "Hi."

  The wedding is about to start, and finally someone comes over to greet Lin Huang. He's a bit on the plump side, with a big head and ears. Lin Huang recognizes him after a moment, nodding his head, "I remember you, Chen Xiang."

  Chen Xiang was taken aback, let out a dry laugh, "Heh heh. Good that you remember, good that you remember. You rarely attend class reunions, didn't expect you to show up today."

  "Chen Ruo and Wu Cheng, huh. Actually, the two of them are quite a good match. You see, Wu Cheng's old man is the dean of our college, and Wu Cheng is now working in the City Guard Bureau, which is much stronger than us. Chen Ruo can also be said to have found a good place to settle down, and who knows, maybe she'll become the Lady of the City Guard in the future."

  "Later on, who knows when we might need to ask for their help. Look, Cheng Shou has also arrived. And those few over there are all teachers from Yue Shan Academy, big shots like Feng Hou Xiu."

  Chen Xiang said a lot in one breath, seeing Lin Huang still calm and composed, he felt a bit angry, his tone also became stiff. "You and Chen Ruo broke up many years ago. Today was originally a big happy day, you said if you saw me, thinking of those old things, you said it's not very good."

  "It's enough if you've made up your mind, no need to insist on staying. If you really see Chen Ru get married, I'm sure you won't feel good either."

  "Listen to me for a moment, leave first and avoid watching the pain. Let's drink together tonight, I'll accompany you until we're drunk."

  "Die, fatty. Are you done yet?" Chunqiu Wang figured it out, Chen Xiang was here to drive people away.

  "Where it's cool, stay there. Besides, I've worked you into a sweat."

  Chen Xiang was unhappy, and he glared at Spring Autumn King with a slanted eye. "Hey, I'm in a bad mood. Lin Huang, is this guy your friend? If not, watch me kill him today."

  "The wedding ceremony has begun. Be quiet." Lin Huo slowly spoke, and Chun Qiu Wang immediately shut his mouth, lowering his head and eyes. Chen Xiang still wanted to show off a bit, but seeing Lin Huo's expressionless face, he felt a tightening in his heart and didn't dare speak again.

  "Time, second by second, counting down. Past events, scene by scene, suddenly come to a standstill. You're holding hands with him, she's holding hands with you, walking towards me. People at the same table swarm up, separating you and me..."

  Chun Qiu's mind flashed with this song, and he suddenly looked at Lin Huang with concern, worried that Lin Huang might be planning to turn the wedding into a bloodbath today.

  As soon as this thought flashed, Spring and Autumn King felt a little nervous. Seeing the groom Wu Cheng coming over to toast with Chen Ruo, Spring and Autumn King seemed to see the scene of blood flowing like rivers today.

  "I and Chen Ruo can walk together. To be honest, I have to thank one person, without his help, there would not be today's me and Ruo Ruo. Today he also came to attend the wedding, I am very happy."

  The groom and bride are already the focus of everyone's attention, let alone Wu Cheng deliberately raised his voice, immediately attracting everyone's gaze.

  Someone who understood the situation immediately let out a low cry, anticipating a good show.

  "Lin Ao, thank you. Without your help, I wouldn't have known that Ruo Ruo is the best woman in this world. Thank you."

  Wu Cheng hugged Chen Ruo tightly and said to Lin Huang.

  Chen Ru looked at Wu Cheng in surprise, then glanced at Lin Huang, hesitated for a long time, and could only remain silent.

  Lin Huang stood up and looked at Chen Ruo, "Have you ever regretted it?"

  Wu Cheng's expression immediately turned gloomy, wanting to say something, but unexpectedly was stopped by Chen Ruo who stretched out her hand.

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Ruo looked into Lin Huang's eyes. "You said it yourself, the path you chose is one you must follow, even if it means kneeling down. I really did love you before, but that's over now. I thought I would regret it, but I don't. The differences between us are too great. Wu Cheng is the most suitable for me. I love him very much, so I won't regret it."

  Chen Ruoyi started speaking extremely slowly, gradually becoming calm and firm. Wu Cheng's face changed from gloomy to sunny, and he gave Lin Huang a complacent glance.

  "As expected, if you don't seek death, you won't die. Now it's time to go all out and slaughter, with blood flowing like rivers." Spring Autumn King's face turned red, muttering in a low voice.

  "No regrets? That's good, really good." Lin Huang's tone became ethereal, and if anyone noticed his eyes, they would find that his pupils had turned completely silver white, without a hint of emotional fluctuation.

  Everyone thought Lin Ao would definitely get angry and make a scene, but unexpectedly, after saying one sentence, he seemed to be stunned.

  Chen Ruoyu wanted to speak but stopped herself, thinking that her words might be too hurtful, but was pulled away by Wu Cheng to another table.

  "Once you enter the noble's gate, it's like entering the sea, from now on Xiao Lang is just a passerby. Alas, brother, accept your fate and change your ways." Chen Xiang patted Lin Huang and sighed.
