Zheng Zhuoting's pupils were bright, but Lu Hongxi couldn't see whether he was really blushing in the reflection.He withdrew his held hand, turned around and walked forward.

Realizing that the joke just now had gone too far, Zheng Zhuoting immediately caught up to stop him, and walked him down the steps: "I'm just kidding. You're blushing like this, did you drink too much wine?" After finishing speaking, he took the glass of Baileys , took a sip and said: "This wine tastes good, but if you drink too much, you will get drunk easily. Don't be greedy."

It's not that Lu Hongxi doesn't know how to drink, how can he not know this, but now he really wants to calm himself down, so he said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Zheng Zhuoting didn't stop him anymore, and followed him until he entered the bathroom, waiting for him outside.

Leaning against the sink, Lu Hongxi took two wet wipes and stuck them on his face for a while before putting them down.Looking at the person in the mirror, he was a little speechless about himself just now.

It's not that he hasn't seen handsome men before, nor has he been teased by men before.Zheng Zhuoting just dressed a bit more formally, how could he have such a big reaction?

After washing hands, the music outside was changed to "Dream Wedding", which meant that the ceremony was about to begin.

He opened the door, Zheng Zhuoting came up to meet him, and asked if he was going to watch the ceremony?

He took Zheng Zhuoting to the direction of the main building of the church, the closer the guests were, the more guests there were.They avoided the crowd, and when they walked into the church, they found that many spectators had already taken their seats, so they sat down in the last row of the man's relatives and friends area.

The church is very large and can accommodate 200 people to watch the ceremony at the same time.Zheng Zhuoting sat beside Lu Hongxi, looking at the layout of the church.The five-color glazed roof refracts the sunlight outside, and sprinkles hazy meaning in every corner.The solemn pastor held the Bible in his hand, and stood in front of a nun, talking to relatives.The guests around were talking in low voices, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Zheng Zhuoting has also participated in such weddings before, but he has never calmed down to observe the wedding arrangement and the people sitting beside him like this time.

Lu Hongxi ignored Zheng Zhuoting's gaze and focused on the phone screen.Not long after the phone rang, MJ asked him where he was, and he said he was already in the church, so MJ asked him to go to the front.

He said something to Zheng Zhuoting and walked forward. MJ sat in the first row, surrounded by the groom's family members. Seeing him coming, he motioned for him to sit down, but he said awkwardly: "My friend is still at the back, I'd better sit at the back."

MJ said with a half-smile: "I asked Arthur just now, and he said you rejected him. Can you tell me the reason?"

Lu Hongxi lowered his eyes. Arthur was introduced to him by MJ, logically speaking, he should explain to MJ, so he said: "Teacher, I really don't have the heart to think about this now, and I don't want to delay others."

MJ watched him for a moment, then patted the empty seat next to him again.After he sat down, he said, "Is it because I don't have the time to think about it, or the person I introduced to you is wrong?"

He heard the meaning behind the words, and just as he was about to explain, MJ laughed and said, "What does that Mr. Zheng do?"

"His family runs a fabric business." Lu Hongxi explained: "Last time Lin Ou's batch of egret sand was unusable, and he helped."

MJ is the nominal partner of Qingli Studio. Lu Hongxi does not need to report to him in detail, but he will show the work report to him every month.

"He solved the Bailusha matter?"

"Correct."

MJ tapped his fingers lightly on his thigh, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "You have good eyesight."

Lu Hongxi didn't say a word, he already guessed what MJ wanted to express.

"The teacher doesn't really want to meddle in your private affairs, but I'm just afraid that you... the shadow of a snake? Isn't that how the term is used?"

Lu Hongxi smiled and said, "Yes."

"The most important thing is to be happy in everything. Don't suppress yourself, and don't be afraid of failure."

Patting him on the shoulder, MJ said: "Let's go, and ask him to have dinner with him after the wedding."

Lu Hongxi nodded, got up and went back to the last row.After he sat down, Zheng Zhuoting immediately said: "I thought you were going to sit in the first row and ignore me."

He asked: "The teacher said that we will have dinner together after the wedding, do you have time?"

Zheng Zhuoting said: "Of course."

During the conversation, the master of ceremonies came in and announced that the wedding ceremony will start soon, please take your seats and keep quiet.

They both turned their mobile phones to silent mode, watched the staff make the final confirmation, all irrelevant people exited the door, and the door slowly closed.

The groom, Homer, stood beside the priest, looking nervously at the closed door.Someone sat down in front of the grand piano in the east corner and began to play "Wedding March".

After the beautiful melody sounded, the door opened again, and the groomsmen and bridesmaids in dresses came in one after another and stood on both sides.And under the steps outside the door, the bride in a snow-white wedding dress walked slowly up the red carpet, holding her father's arm.

Lu Hongxi sat in the last row outside, watching the bride gracefully walk past him. The 13-inch long white gauze tail spreads out the world of snow behind it, which is a sacred and solemn romance.He focused on chasing the bride's back until he felt someone holding his right hand.

He turned his head, and Zheng Zhuoting also looked at the bride, with a serious look that did not show that he was distracted at all.But the hand holding him was very hot and sweaty.

The "Wedding March" played by piano solo is easy to move people's hearts, let alone in such a beautiful atmosphere.Lu Hongxi was stunned for a moment before withdrawing his hand, wanting to remind himself to focus on the ceremony, when someone pulled his right hand over again.

Zheng Zhuoting still stared at the front, as if he didn't do this little trick.Lu Hongxi drew back again, and Zheng Zhuoting held him by the hand again.

This time, it was the ten-finger interlocking method, no matter how much he pulled, Zheng Zhuoting would not let go.He could only ask in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Zheng Zhuoting finally turned to look at him, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "I don't do anything, I just want to hold you."

The overly candid tone gave him an illusion, as if he and Zheng Zhuoting really had this kind of relationship that could hold hands.But before he could come up with a reason for his refusal, Zheng Zhuoting approached him, bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "I don't know how to do anything, just let me lead you, and I'll let you go when the wedding is over."

The bride's father has walked up to the groom with his daughter on his arm and is giving the bride's hand to the groom.Facing this touching scene, Zheng Zhuoting said again: "They are so happy, when will I be able to hold the person I like like this in front of relatives and friends."

These words seemed to be talking to himself, more like speaking to Lu Hongxi.Lu Hongxi's face became hot again, and he had to change the topic: "You can't talk at the wedding."

"Okay." Zheng Zhuoting replied dryly, sitting up straight and leaning on the back of the chair.Although she stopped quarreling with him, she still held his hand tightly.

The groom read English love poems written for the bride to the guests.After he finished reading, the bride had tears in her eyes and said a few words to everyone in sign language.

The bridesmaid was translating at the side, and Zheng Zhuoting didn't know until this moment that the bride couldn't speak.

But this did not prevent her from expressing her love.

Looking at the newcomers on the stage, Zheng Zhuoting gradually showed envy in his eyes.

Human emotions tend to resonate at a certain moment. Looking at the speechless bride on the stage, he thought of those things hidden in his heart that he could not say to Lu Hongxi for the time being.

When it was the turn of the wedding vows, he remembered a question his mother Guo Yonghui had asked many times.What was the only feeling he was after?If you can't find this feeling, will you never get married for the rest of your life?

He knew how anxious his mother was, and was afraid that he would pursue some unrealistic ideas, but in the end he would miss the right one.So he also tried to find such a feeling in the relationship, but in the end he found it really difficult.After all, it is rare to meet a partner who loves so much that he loses control and loves so desperately.

He looked at the people around him again.

In fact, he didn't need anyone to remind him, he also knew that this feeling came too suddenly.And he just chased after him directly, which was inconsistent with his past prudent behavior.

So he understood Lu Hongxi's unspoken uneasiness.

Between them, they need more time to think clearly and see if they are suitable for each other.

He clenched the hand in his palm, raised the corners of his mouth when Lu Hongxi turned to look at him, and continued to look at the new couple exchanging rings in front of him.

The groom lifted the bride's veil and gave her an affectionate kiss. Amid the cheers of all relatives and friends, the melody of "Wedding March" changed from soothing to cheerful.

Lu Hongxi stared at the couple intently, and didn't stand up until they stepped out of the gate hand in hand and greeted the rain of flowers outside.

His eyelashes were a little wet, and he wanted to wipe them with his fingers, only to realize that Zheng Zhuoting was still holding him.

After agreeing to let go after the wedding, he reminded Zheng Zhuoting with his eyes, but the man didn't react and looked at him puzzled.

He had no choice but to say: "Let go."

Zheng Zhuoting looked down at the hands that were holding each other, with a very reluctant expression.While listening to the melody of "Wedding March" and the sound of blessings cheering outside, he didn't know if he was infected, but he also had thoughts of reluctance.

So the two of them just stood there, silent to each other, until someone called out "Hongxi."

Lu Hongxi pulled his hand back like a spring box whose switch was pressed.

The person who called him was MJ, and he didn't notice that they were holding hands, but this movement of his made MJ notice.

MJ and him looked at each other, saw that the unnatural blush on his face didn't break, and instead said: "It's over, let's go eat."

Lu Hongxi agreed, and walked out with Zheng Zhuoting behind MJ.

The bride was standing on the steps, surrounded by a dozen or so unmarried young girls not far away. It looked like she was about to toss a bouquet from this posture.

The group of them passed by the group of girls, originally separated by several steps, but the bride threw her back to the crowd with too much force, and the bouquet flew towards them like a parabola.

Hearing the exclamation, Lu Hongxi turned his head and saw that a bouquet of flowers fell from the sky and landed directly on his forehead.

Although the bouquet of white roses was small and light, Zheng Zhuoting pulled him into his arms to check, and confirmed that he was not injured, and he was relieved only after his forehead hurt a little.

The bride also ran over and looked at Lu Hongxi anxiously.She couldn't speak, so Lu Hongxi smiled and comforted her and said it was all right, it was just an accident.

Seeing that he was indeed fine, the bride was relieved, picked up the bouquet on the ground and handed it to him with a smile.

Lu Hongxi was stunned, and the bridesmaid reminded: "Elsa's bouquet hit you just now, you should accept it."

The girls who didn't get the bouquet also surrounded them, smiling and reminding him to accept it.After all, being hit by a bouquet symbolizes that you will get married soon, which cannot be refused.

Lu Hongxi didn't know what to do after being told by each of them, but Zheng Zhuoting took it for him, stuffed the bouquet into his arms, and smiled at the bride: "Thank you for your blessing."

The bride smiled, lifted her skirt and went back to the groom to take pictures.Lu Hongxi looked at the bouquet in his arms, his brain was like a gear lacking oil, and it couldn't turn around after a long time.

MJ next to him saw the whole process in his eyes, and also saw Zheng Zhuoting's eyes looking at him clearly.After the crowd dispersed, MJ coughed and reminded: "Let's go."

The meal at noon was originally planned to be eaten with two of MJ's other friends, but for some reason it ended up being just the three of them.During the meeting, MJ asked Zheng Zhuoting a lot of questions, not only about work, but also about family.

Sitting between them, Lu Hongxi couldn't understand what the teacher's purpose was, and was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at Zheng Zhuoting.

After the meal, MJ still had business to do, so he explained a few words to Lu Hongxi before leaving.After he left, Zheng Zhuoting smiled and said, "He really cares about you."

Lu Hongxi nodded. To him, MJ is like a teacher and a father. This relationship has long surpassed the relationship between work partners.

Since the plane was at night, there was still time, so they went shopping near the Colosseum.Back at the hotel in the evening, each packed their luggage before going to the airport.

There is no direct flight from Rome to Sydney, and it takes almost a day to add the transfer time.The two of them didn't talk much that day, firstly because they were not seated together, and secondly because Zheng Zhuoting wanted to get rid of business affairs ahead of time, and stared at the computer except when eating and sleeping.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening of the second day after landing in Sydney, and in the car sent by Orson to pick him up, Lu Hongxi asked the driver to take Zheng Zhuoting to the hotel first.The driver looked at the address Zheng Zhuoting gave, and reminded them that this was in the suburbs, and it would take more than four hours to go back and forth. He asked Lu Hongxi if he wanted to go back to the hotel to rest first?

Both of them were stunned, and Lu Hongxi said in surprise, "Isn't the hotel in the same block as where I live?"

"No." The driver explained: "The street names are similar, but the suffixes are different."

Lu Hongxi was dumbfounded, and heard the person beside him ask, "Then I have to spend more than four hours every day to see you?"

Zheng Zhuoting asked calmly, but Lu Hongxi felt guilty.When Zheng Zhuoting booked a homestay, he should have asked Orson how he made such a low-level mistake.

Seeing his self-reproach, Zheng Zhuoting said: "Forget it, I'll change to another one. Are there any vacancies in any nearby hotels?"

The last sentence was asked to the driver, and the driver replied: "It's so late. There will be a global investment promotion conference in the past half a month, and many homestays in the urban area that are not up to the reception standard are full, let alone Star Hotels."

Zheng Zhuoting turned to look at Lu Hongxi, this time he didn't need to ask what to do, Lu Hongxi took the initiative: "You can sleep in my room tonight."

"What about you?" Zheng Zhuoting asked.

Lu Hongxi's expression didn't change, but his voice was a little nervous.He said, "I sleep on the sofa."

The author says:

Zhuo Ting: You sleep on the sofa and I sleep on the bed?How can it be.
