Chapter 84 “Dream Wedding.”

【February 9, 18:00】

"clang--!"

The church bells rang and rose petals fell from the dome.

The rays of the setting sun shine down through the stained glass, and the skirt resembles a long, winding white river. The motes of dust flickered in and out of the cutting light.

The surrounding church columns and the dome squeezed inward, like a high copper-yellow cage. Couples of newlyweds held each other's hands and walked across the long red carpet. People on the bench applauded and blessed their union.

Among the crowd, the blond boy sat quietly on a bench, his hands clasped neatly in his lap. He watched everything in the church without saying a word.

A silk top hat and a blue rose cane were placed next to him. He was wearing a pure white gown and simple black trousers. His simple attire was inconspicuous among the crowd.

"Sir, no matter poverty, illness, difficulty, pain, or wealth, are you willing to never leave Miss Chang Shu and love her for the rest of your life?"

A man dressed as a priest asked a newlywed couple on the stage.

"I do." The boy nodded with a flushed face and looked at the girl opposite nervously. The girl is wearing a beautiful wedding dress and rich makeup, which embellishes her facial features extremely beautifully.

The priest asked the girl if she wanted to.

"I do." The girl blushed and nodded.

When both said "I do", the priest declared them officially husband and wife. They held hands, walked off the stage, and walked out on the red carpet.

After they left, another couple walked into the church, walked along the red carpet to the high platform, and accepted the priest's questioning and blessing.

"I do."

"I do."

Noel sat on the bench and stared at the newlyweds receiving blessings. Similar to Noel, there were many people watching the wedding sitting on the surrounding benches.

Su Ming'an sat next to him, wearing a black and white gown similar to Noel's. Today they were just bystanders, not the protagonists. Noel was afraid of overshadowing the guests, so he deliberately did not wear the bright red noble robe.

"This is an event to 'experience marriage in the world game.'" Noel said softly: "In the world game, many people's relatives were not selected. Although some people wanted to get married during this year, they were hindered by their elders and Friends are away and there is no wedding. But here, with just a few points, you can fully experience a wedding and enjoy the blessings of many people, whether they are familiar people or strangers.”

"So that's it." Su Mingan said.

Since the founding ceremony of the Peak Alliance ended, Su Mingan took a short break and came to attend Nour's appointment.

He has not yet chosen the direction of his second career and wants to wait until he is alone before deciding. His initial consideration was [Reconnaissance] and [Treatment]. His combat power was enough for the time being. Even if he increased his combat power, he would not be able to crush the dungeon BOSS. It was better to make some choices in this kind of assistance.

If Thirty-Three-Three-Hand Eyes had the skills to treat broken limbs or remove paralysis drugs when he rescued Yueyue, it wouldn't have been so hard.

He has been sitting here with Noel for half an hour. The two of them did nothing but watched other people get married.

"It turns out that when you say 'watch a wedding', you don't mean to watch a specific person's wedding." Su Mingan looked at the couples walking by: "It's just a wedding."

This is a very famous group wedding venue. Whether you are experiencing a wedding or getting married, you can do it here. There is no need to invite guests or hold a grand banquet. As long as the newlyweds arrive here, they will be blessed by countless onlookers.

This kind of collective wedding became popular as early as the beginning of the 20th century. Floats, bouquets, rose gardens, churches. Even adventure players come to visit.

Human beings have come up with all kinds of tricks in the world of the Lord God, but unlike those things that entertain people to death, this kind of beautiful scene does have value. It makes the love between lovers deeper, the connection between husband and wife closer, and allows human beings to remember that they still have a lover to save when they are numb.

Noel held his head high, rose petals floating on his forehead.

"In twenty-six years of life, I have seen too many unreliable human emotions." Noel said: "Betrayal, hesitation, philandering, cheating, emotional conflicts... Love is very ethereal in my eyes, because what I have seen Yes, there are few loves like Jin Jian's love, and most of them end in tragedy. But I am a romantic. The more I am like this, the more I long for long-lasting relationships like diamonds. I like to see the sweetness on people's faces. I also like to see the most beautiful look of love at its very beginning. So during my break, I sometimes come to a place like this and sit there all day long.”

"I often forget that you are twenty-six years old. When you invited me, I almost thought you were going to marry someone."

Noel smiled: "Twenty-six is ​​indeed a suitable age for marriage."

Su Mingan joked: "Then do you have any plans? Which girl?"

Noel shook his head: "Nineteen is also a suitable age for falling in love, what do you think?"

He met so many outstanding people in the dungeon, such as Naraku and Tredia, and so many people had great kindness towards him. Wasn't he not tempted at all?

The smile on Su Mingan's face faded slightly.

He looked at the young men and women on the benches around him, looking at their blushing smiles.

Although it is said that marriage is the grave of love, it is based on insufficient material foundation. In the world game, everyone can live a prosperous life, and even love does not have to be lacking - so love becomes a more "perfect" love.

"Nineteen is indeed the right age to fall in love. Now that I'm an adult, my outlook on life is more stable and I have romantic fantasies about love," Su Mingan said.

"so?"

Su Mingan looked at these beautiful things:

"But falling in love has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Dang-dang-dang-!"

The bells rang, people laughed and laughed outside the church, and there was a smell of butter floating in the air.

Noel stood up quickly, picked up Su Mingan and walked out along the edge of the church.

"Come on, let's go outside. There are more fun things outside." Noel pulled him and walked quickly.

The green grass carpet stretched from the feet into the distance, the "Dream Wedding" symphony sounded on the vast lawn, and there were many couples taking photos and walking outside the church.

The last rays of the setting sun disappeared in the distance, and star-like lawn lamps lit up everywhere. Warm yellow lights fell from the heights of the church, illuminating their white wedding dresses.

Su Mingan walked on the lawn, and the sound of people's conversations came through the scent of roses.

"If my mother saw this scene, she would definitely be very happy. She has been looking forward to my marriage for a long time." A pair of young lovers, the woman held up a diamond ring.

They stood under the fountain, and the woman's veil was stained with water drops, like diamonds under the light.

"Lin Yao, I still have a lot of points. When today is over, we will organize a Chinese wedding that you like." The man promised: "I couldn't afford these before. I was even afraid of not having a house to live in when I got married. What do you want now?" , we all have them."

"Yeah." The woman clutched the diamond ring tightly: "Actually, when I was in school, I, I liked you. If I hadn't been selected into the World Game and I became more confident, I would have really missed you."

"I, I actually like you too. But I think that if your parents are so rich, they will definitely look down on me for coming from the same village..."

"Fool, how can there be anything in the city or village now? After the world game, everything has been shuffled and everyone is the same..."

Su Mingan and Noel passed a pair of middle-aged lovers, and the woman held a photo in her hand.

"Zhisheng, my child would never have imagined that I actually got remarried in a game. When the year is over and the day I come back, he will definitely be shocked when he sees the diamond ring on my hand." The woman's fingers slipped. Passing the photo glass, I touched it and sighed:

"My hands are now as delicate as a little girl's. I used to have chilblains in the cold winter, which were painful, red and swollen. Now my stomach problems and my cervical spondylosis are all gone."

Her hands are smooth and beautiful, and her skin is more like milk. The man nodded and hugged her tightly: "Yes, this is a good time... It's really good."

Su Mingan and Noel passed by a pair of young-looking old people. The old lady looked at the jewelry box in her hand and sighed.

"Old man, I really didn't expect that I would be able to wear a wedding dress on this golden wedding anniversary... When we got married, I wore a big red flowered jacket and married you. There was nothing like these ceremonies..."

"It wasn't possible before, but now everything is possible. Even if I wear a red flower jacket and marry you, it will be possible!" The old man had an open mind and laughed a few times.

Those who fish for goldfish, those who divine with crystal balls, those who make wishes, those who sell bouquets and veils... The smell of "love" is everywhere, and even the smell of the air is full of buttery sweetness.

Su Mingan watched all this, as if he saw thousands of households.

"Love makes humans blind, and it also makes humans strong. The world game keeps the human species changing," Su Mingan said.

"Sometimes, the sensibility of most people will easily dominate rationality, which is good. Under the stimulation of emotion, human beings can sometimes do impossible things." Noel said: "But for leaders, In other words, you cannot let your emotions control your rationality. Even if you have high rationality and high sensibility at the same time, you cannot let your emotions control your actions. Your Peak Alliance may have taken this into consideration and chose all single members."

At this point, he felt a little annoyed: "Why are we talking about this again? I just skipped it."

It was such a relaxing place, but he actually talked about these troublesome things.

"It's okay. Now that I've thought about it, I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't say it." Su Ming'an said, "What you just said is right. Mizushima Kawakora is like this. She is too attached to her sister. Regardless of whether this emotion is 'Love' is more about unhealable scars and madness."

"So you don't believe in love?" Noel asked.

They stopped. Not far away, someone was throwing bouquets. People are flocking here.

"——The person who catches the bouquet will find happy love and have a baby early!" The bride who threw the bouquet smiled and threw the bouquet.

At first, people were still smiling and wanting to catch the bouquets, but when they heard the word "give birth to a baby early", their faces changed drastically and they all ran away.

The bouquet was thrown in the direction of Su Mingan, and he could catch it as long as he stretched out his hand.

But he just watched quietly as it came, and then took a slight step back. The bouquet fell into someone else's hands.

"It seems that no one wants to have a baby early," Noel said.

"——I believe in love." Su Mingan answered Noel's last sentence.

Noel looked at him.

"But it has nothing to do with me." Su Mingan said.

Noel saw the expression on Su Mingan's face. There was no regret or unwillingness. It's like saying something casual, like stating the facts.

【It has nothing to do with him. 】

Since the beginning of the World Game, it's like life has been suddenly cut with a knife, and the normal trajectory of life has been taken in an unpredictable direction. Nineteen is the right age for love, and his yearning for love has nothing to do with him.

"It doesn't matter, love is not a necessity in life. Compared to 'love', I believe in 'love' more." Noel smiled: "In this life, people have to find the meaning of their existence and realize it. .”

"From now on, I will accompany you to find it."

Love for life, love for ideals, it is these things that make people great. Idealists insist on knowing this.

The lights turned on in the distance, and the champagne tower shone with a warm yellow light, like stars flowing on the grass.
