EBE Chapter 307 Longing
Chapter 307 Longing
Chapter 307 Longing and Yearning
Lin Dongzhe stepped onto the red carpet and walked step by step to Courtyard No. 37.
The courtyard gate was wide open.
Upon reaching this point, Lin Dongzhe stopped, adjusted his "groom" boutonniere, straightened his collar and suit, and then strode confidently toward room number thirteen!
A fairly spacious area had been cleared out inside the house, so Lin Dongzhe and his groomsmen didn't feel particularly crowded when they walked in.
Zhuang Xiaoting sat on the edge of the bed, quietly waiting for Lin Dongzhe, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying were also dressed in their best clothes, and they both stood up after Lin Dongzhe came in.
Lin Dongzhe automatically switched the titles, "Dad, Mom!"
Huang Ling smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
Zhuang Chaoying nodded, "Yes!"
Lin Dongzhe then said, "Dad, Mom, I've come to pick up Xiaoting!"
Huang Ling gestured: "Go!"
Walking slowly to the bedside, Lin Dongzhe reached out his hand. "Xiaoting, from now on, I need you to wholeheartedly accept me, comfort me, support me, stay by my side, and never leave me. Are you willing?"
Zhuang Xiaoting also reached out and grasped Lin Dongzhe's large hand, "You would do the same for me, wouldn't you?"
Lin Dongzhe nodded, "Of course. For the rest of my life, I will always love you and protect you!"
Zhuang Xiaoting turned to Huang Ling and said, "Mom, I'm leaving!"
Although we will meet again later, this farewell symbolizes Zhuang Xiaoting's separation—a separation of the heart and a separation of home.
Huang Ling's tears welled up instantly. "Go, you all must take good care of yourselves!"
Zhuang Xiaoting was also in tears, saying, "Mom, please take care of yourself."
Zhuang Tunan and Ke Hongxia quickly comforted Huang Ling, and it took them a long time to calm her down.
Zhuang Chaoying took the red scarf from Huang Ling and gently placed it over Zhuang Xiaoting's head, waving her hand, "It's getting late, let's go!"
Lin Dongzhe agreed, then scooped up Zhuang Xiaoting and said, "Dad, Mom, we're leaving!"
He carried Zhuang Xiaoting and walked at the front. Wu Shanshan and Li Jia exchanged a glance and followed.
At the alley entrance, Zhao Luyi, who was squatting on the wall, finally got his chance to make his appearance. Flower petals fell along with the ceremonial cannons, and the children shouted excitedly, glad that they had witnessed this "luxurious wedding".
Zhuang Xiaoting automatically transformed everything into blessings for the two of them, and the reluctance she felt in the room just now slowly turned into anticipation for the future.
The classmate who was the best man had already opened the car door, and Lin Dongzhe gently placed Zhuang Xiaoting on the back seat.
Li Jia consciously sat in the passenger seat, while Wu Shanshan sat next to Zhuang Xiaoting.
Zhuang Chaoying, Huang Ling, and Zhuang Tunan all followed.
Lin Dongzhe turned around and said goodbye to the group one last time, "Mom and Dad, we're leaving!"
Zhuang Chaoying waved her hand, "Drive carefully."
Lin Dongzhe bowed to the neighbors who had helped him, clasped his hands in a circle to express his gratitude, got into his car, started the engine, and drove away.
The compressor factory has replaced the windows, making the outside room very bright.
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng had been waiting for a long time, staring blankly at the intersection, like two statues.
The female statue spoke up, "Why haven't they arrived yet? Is something wrong?"
The male statue responded, "It's not time yet! Wait a little longer... it's coming!"
As the convoy returned, several young men at the intersection immediately lit firecrackers.
They were all employees of the compressor factory who volunteered to help with Lin Dongzhe's wedding. It was all out of respect for Lin Dongzhe, absolutely not because Lin Wufeng was the factory manager!
Lin Dongzhe stopped the car, walked to the back seat, opened the back door, and carried Zhuang Xiaoting into the house.
Inside the room, both statues had returned to their main positions, sitting upright.
Gently put Zhuang Xiaoting down and stand in front of Lin Wufeng and Song Ying.
Under the guidance of the "host" on the side, the two completed a series of ceremonies.
Upon entering the bedroom and sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Dongzhe gently lifted Zhuang Xiaoting's red veil, revealing her stunning beauty.
Zhuang Xiaoting had never felt this way before. When the veil was lifted from her head, an extremely shy feeling filled her heart.
Lin Dongzhe's favorite expression is this shy look. Even if tens of thousands of years have passed, let alone hundreds of years, he will still only like this kind of verdant shyness.
Looking down, Lin Dongzhe tasted the unripe flavor and found it to be quite sweet.
"Lin Dongzhe..." Zhuang Xiaoting felt like she was melting!
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Li Jia's voice came in, "You two, don't stay too long! Your aunt and uncle are waiting for you to go to the hotel together!"
The alluring atmosphere vanished completely. Zhuang Xiaoting quickly changed her clothes. Although she felt a little shy being stared at by Lin Dongzhe, she didn't mind because of the time constraints. Besides, there was another layer inside.
Upon arriving at the hotel, almost all the guests had already arrived.
Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying sat at the main table, while Lin Wufeng and Song Ying entertained the guests.
After Lin Dongzhe arrived, the "host" arranged for people to set up the venue so that the bride and groom could serve tea and water to the four parents, which was considered a formal way of addressing them.
Zhuang Xiaoting poured the tea, and Lin Dongzhe served it; their teamwork was impeccable.
He offered the first cup of tea to Huang Ling, saying, "Mom! Thank you for taking care of me all these years!"
Huang Ling was very emotional, and tears began to well up again. "Oh, okay, you're all good kids!"
Tears blurred Huang Ling's vision. The two people in front of her looked just like when they were children. Each of them received a piece of candy, and Lin Dongzhe held up the candy and said, "Thank you, Aunt Huang!" Zhuang Xiaoting was also confused and imitated Lin Dongzhe, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Huang!"
As I thought about it, I laughed again! But as I laughed, tears started streaming down my face.
Song Ying gently wiped away Huang Ling's tears. "Sister Ling, it's such a joyous day, don't cry, okay?"
Huang Ling: "I'm happy! Tears of happiness! Right? You wipe your tears of happiness first, then wipe mine!"
After Huang Ling calmed down, Lin Dongzhe handed the tea to Zhuang Chaoying, saying, "Dad!"
Zhuang Chaoying: "..."
Why is it that when Huang Ling speaks at length, you can just call me "Dad"?
Zhuang Chaoying's face darkened again. "Hmm!"
Lin Dongzhe didn't care what Zhuang Chaoying thought and continued to pour tea for Lin Wufeng and Song Ying, but now it was Lin Dongzhe pouring the tea while Zhuang Xiaoting served it.
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng watched Zhuang Xiaoting grow up. She was a top-notch obedient girl from a young age, the kind of child that everyone would admire. No one would dislike such a daughter-in-law!
When Zhuang Xiaoting started calling them "Mom and Dad," the elderly couple's faces broke into wrinkles with laughter!
The ceremony to change the address to the new person has ended, and the banquet has officially begun!
Zhuang Xiaoting had attended other people's weddings and eaten at several wedding banquets before. But being a guest and being a host are two completely different experiences.
The meal was of very high quality, considered high-end in Suzhou, but Zhuang Xiaoting felt as if she hadn't tasted anything.
After the ceremony, Zhuang Xiaoting's only impression of the wedding was exhaustion! Her second impression was hunger! Her third impression was rush!
In short, if you can't even move yourself, your wedding will only be a disaster!
