Thirty-Nine Degrees Part 3

Lin Fang was speechless and gave him a thumbs up: “Since you have so much resolve, why should I even bother… No, why should I be Lu Dongbin.”¹[] I’m not going to bother with an overly long note so here it is. He was a Taoist who performed good deeds and was well-respected.

Just like any other wedding, the process was the same with a different name but the same content.

Vows, exchange of rings, kissing, and everyone standing up to toast…

Someone from their same table had just arrived. Liang Mengyi hunched over and walked to the table over there. She sat next to Wei Congying in a short skirt that barely covered her chest. “Why are you all here so early?”

Lin Fang, who was sitting next to her, said jokingly, “The Young Miss is here early. It’s still too early for the bridal chamber.”

Liang Mengyi looked towards the stage and saw Xiang Shaoyuan. She looked disgusted and asked, “Why is Xiang Shaoyuan dressed like a real estate agent?”

Lin Fang: “Liang Mengyi, did you know that there will be a dance segment with the best man and bridesmaid later? I watched the rehearsal, and there was a hug around the waist, shoulder, and a hand in hand.”

Liang Mengyi scoffed, “Give it up already, dancing? When he was in school and had to perform the broadcast exercise, “Eaglets Taking Flight.” He danced… well, he couldn’t get past an eaglet.”

The bride and groom on the stage had gone downstairs to change into their toast attires, and the lights in the room had come on.

Wei Congying picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks: “Okay, at least she doesn’t talk as much as you do.”

Liang Mengyi heard the words, “ex-girlfriend” and looked around: “Where is she?”

Lin Fang raised his chin and pointed to Liang Mengyi in a direction: “That way.”

Liang Mengyi looked over and saw Shi Yun’s not-so-happy expression. Her slightly frowned brows gave her a pitiful appearance. And with tears in her eyes, she looked like a top-notch white moonlight.

From their angle, they could see Shi Yun very clearly. She looked a little depressed, but after all, it was someone else’s wedding, so she lowered her head and did her best to keep it to herself.

Wei Congying looked over and saw her eating and drinking. She was looking quite capable, as she was drinking white wine.

–

Shi Yun took a sip and realized that the wine in her glass was actually white wine. She had only taken a sip and coughed a few times because of the spicy taste.

When the bride entered, the room darkened. In the dim light, the children brought by former classmates were a little restless and kept making noise.

The hot dishes were then served.

She didn’t know what the kids next to them were doing, but they were quite noisy.

The classmate who knew a lot about wine was holding the bottle of liquor and looking at it: “This wine is good, it costs tens of thousands…”

Shi Yun didn’t quite understand, but she could taste the fragrant aroma of grain coming from the liquor. And the pungent feeling of intoxication was also like the mellow aroma of the liquor, rushing to her head.

They say that it is easy to get drunk if you mix alcohol together, and Shi Yun’s alcohol tolerance was probably at that level.

There were also people who could sleep all night just by mixing white wine with boiled water.

The child refused to look at the bride when his mother coaxed him to do so. He also refused to eat and even knocked over the bowl of supplementary food.

When the soup spilled on Shi Yun, she hadn’t reacted yet. A lot of bad things had happened today. She looked at the kid who got into trouble and didn’t apologize. Upon seeing the scattering of teeth in the child’s mouth,  and looking at his scattering of teeth, she couldn’t say a word.

The child’s mother looked apologetic, and Shi Yun wiped it with a wet towel, but it was of no use. The fabric of the chair was also stained with soup, and it was impossible to sit on it.

The child’s mother immediately stood up to call the waiter to change her chair. Shi Yun put on her bag and picked up her phone: “Forget it.”

She went to the bathroom and rinsed it briefly, but the oil stain remained stubborn.

She was fumbling around, and when she raised her eyes she saw a dark figure turning into the men’s restroom next door.

–

After taking a bite of fish, he realized there were a lot of fish bones. His gaze unfocused for a moment after following Shi Yun as she stood up and left.

In a trance, he saw the table of elders at a distance, and saw his father toasting with his precious daughter, paving the way for her to familiarize herself.

Wei Congying felt that the fish bones in his mouth had gone down his throat.

It was very uncomfortable.

He put down his chopsticks, stood up with his phone in hand and said, “I’m going the restroom.”

When Wei Congying was almost to the bathroom, he heard the sound of water. She pulled the hem of her shirt that was stained yellow by the soup and scrubbed it under the faucet.

Shi Yun continued to scrub, but not long after, her feet began to hurt.

She took off her high heels and sat on the sink with her feet dangling there. The sound of the orchestra’s performance mixed with the ethnic-style singing of the emcee in other rooms was a bit irritating.

The liquor was fermenting in her body and she felt a little dizzy.

Shi Yun heard footsteps coming from the side but did not look up.

The pain in her feet gradually disappeared and got better.

First there was the sound of water, then the sound of hand soap being rubbed between the palms. Shi Yun stole a glance at Wei Congying’s profile, and every time she looked at it, she still felt he looked so similar…

After looking away, she continued to pretend not to see him.

Shi Yun lowered her head and looked at the dirty spot on her clothes, feeling annoyed.

When the sound of running water was heard again, he rinsed the foam off his hands and left.

Listening to the footsteps disappearing from his ears, Shi Yun sighed, suddenly feeling a sense of loss after being relieved of the pressure.

From the time Wu Tai was executed to now when she met the man in the wheelchair, Shi Yun felt so tired.

Her eyes were a little dry because of the bout of crying from before.

She covered her red and slightly hot eyes with her slightly cool palms to cool them down for a moment.

When she was relaxing, the footsteps reappeared, and a familiar voice sounded, with a gleeful smile in it, but also a bit of disappointment.

“When you dumped me, I thought you were so f**king awesome. Now you’re being bullied like this?”

La la la la la, do you like sweet or salty rice dumplings?
