Chapter 1343: Chapter 529: Encountering Lucy at the Wedding! The Gifts from Classmates Are Seriously Tearjerking [Subscription Request]

But last time I invited her over, she said a friend invited her to a wedding.

Could it be that her friend knows Brother Xu?

Geng Lele tugged at Lucy’s clothes and asked in English:

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Lucy then noticed Geng Lele’s presence:

"Geng, why are you here too? My friend invited me to a wedding. Is this the same wedding you invited me to last time?"

"Yes, the person on stage is my Brother Xu, the one who’s really good at cooking. The one in the suit is his master, who used to be the head chef here. Do you know her?"

When communicating with foreigners, there’s no need to beat around the bush. Just ask straightforwardly.

Lucy sighed lightly:

"The person I’m looking for is him. He even told me he was a retired pilot. What a big liar... Geng, how do you say ’big liar’ in Chinese?"

Geng Lele taught her seriously, then asked:

"Who invited you here?"

Lucy pointed to Luo Shan on stage, who was handing gold bars to Shen Jiayue:

"She did, invited me to the wedding, only to show off her love. I’m so mad. Wang Cuihua is at odds with her!"

The name Wang Cuihua was given to her by Luo Shan, who tricked her by saying it had a noble and sacred meaning. Lucy never realized she was deceived.

Geng Lele remembered when Aunt Luo Shan cornered Grandpa Gao, and couldn’t help but say:

"You can’t beat her. Why not join our Meow Meow Sect? We’ll gather all the church members to help you."

Last time, several people in the group said their English speaking skills weren’t good, which affected their IELTS scores. Geng Lele thought that although everyone joined the group claiming to be part of the Meow Meow Sect for fun, they should still strive for some benefits.

For example, finding a strong speaking teacher for the members of the Meow Meow Sect.

Perhaps later, we can ask Teacher Lucy to invite a few more foreign friends into the group, and converse with everyone orally. I believe the speaking skills can improve quickly.

"Meow Meow Sect?"

Lucy didn’t know what kind of organization this was.

But upon hearing that they can help her defeat the woman on stage, she nodded and said:

"Okay, I’ll join you!"

On stage, Luo Shan handed two standard gold bars weighing three kilograms to Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue, smiling as she said:

"I couldn’t think of a gift in short notice, so here are two gold bars as a token. I hope you both have a long and happy life together."

Three kilograms of gold, quite hefty. Lin Xu almost dropped it when he took it.

However, Shen Jiayue, who was used to seeing gold bars, had a rough estimate as soon as she saw the size.

The audience watching the ceremony was full of envy when they saw the two gold bars:

"Wow, only now do I realize how wealthy Lin Boss and the wife’s elder relatives are."

"Yeah, with properties, funds, and shares in listed companies, no wonder some people are born directly in Rome. Such a life is truly enviable."

"I guess that’s what being a ’life winner’ looks like."

"But Xu Zi, though he’s rich, is still so hardworking. It’s really something to learn from."

"Yeah, if I had his conditions, I’d probably be indulging in all kinds of games without pulling myself out, but he’s always either cooking or filming, never taking a break."

While everyone was chatting, Grandpa Gao and Luo Shan came down from the stage.

"Let’s go, little handsome, I’ll introduce you to someone you’ve been yearning for day and night."

Luo Shan’s words made Grandpa Gao pause:

"Who? The DJ from Heaven Bar? Or Lu Lu, the manager from the Red Glass Winery? Or maybe... why pinch me?"

Luo Shan pinched Grandpa Gao:

"You’ve got quite a few people you’re yearning for day and night."

"It’s the way you asked, so naturally, I have to guess."

"Stop feigning with me, Robin. You really thought I didn’t know about Lucy’s existence? She’s also at the wedding today. I invited her. Do you want to see her?"

Grandpa Gao didn’t expect his cover name to be exposed.

He asked weakly:

"Just state your conditions directly. Beating around the bush is exhausting."

Luo Shan smiled slightly and whispered in Grandpa Gao’s ear:

"If you agree to register for marriage with me, I’ll take you to see Lucy, otherwise..."

"Actually, I was just about to propose to you anyway. This Chinese-style wedding doesn’t have a bouquet, or I would have just asked my little disciple to fetch one and kneel on one knee to propose to you just now."

Being a romantic in love, it’s easy to spin tales.

But he truly wanted to propose. After all, traveling together for so many days, he had long been accustomed to having this rich lady full of schemes by his side.

Luo Shan looked at him with a half-smile:

"It’s not just because you want to see Lucy?"

"Meeting her is necessary too, at least let us say goodbye properly, and part on good terms."

Hearing this, Luo Shan took Grandpa Gao’s hand and said:

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to see her."

On stage, Lin Xu finally completed the wedding ceremony. Just as he was about to step down with Shen Jiayue to change into their toasting attire, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ear:

"Congratulations to the host for marrying a lovely lady, rewarding you with Perfect Level Chinese Wedding Pastries—Joy Cakes."

Joy Cakes?

Such a delicious treat comes quite aptly.

Back home for weddings, Joy Cakes were an essential dish.

But they weren’t eaten at the wedding venue. Instead, after the wedding ended in the afternoon, when people visited the house, the bride would take out Joy Cakes to give to everyone, allowing guests to share in the joy.

Made by combining sugar and dough, these fluffy pastries have a rich sweet aroma, loved by both adults and children.

But with the rising cost of weddings and everyone being busy, Joy Cakes have long since been replaced by Snow Cakes. It’s quite difficult to get authentic Joy Cakes nowadays.

Since I’ve attained this technique today, no doubt I will make some when I return home after the feast, in case someone visits in the afternoon, and we have Joy Cakes to share.

"Please stay, bride and groom, as the finance department students present your wedding gift."

The emcee specifically called Lin Xu after the ceremony ended to unveil the gift that classmates had prepared for a long time.

The reason it’s placed in this segment is that the gift prepared by the classmates is quite humorous, mitigating the solemnity during the paying respects and tea ceremony process, and it brings joy before the feast, making dining more pleasant.

Soon, the lights dimmed on the stage, and the brightness on the big screen behind increased, revealing a figure in a white T-shirt who seemed drunk.

Outside the video, Sun Minghao’s voice was heard:

"Lin Xu, who do you like most in our school?"

This happened during the summer, Lin Xu lifted his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face, smiling as he said:

"Shen Jiayue, from our class, even our department, even throughout the entire Finance University or all of Beijing, I only like her. I don’t know if in this life I’ll have the chance to hold her hand..."

At this point, the screen paused, and a line of text appeared:

[The summer of 2019, the first confession—Videographer: Sun Minghao]

As music played, footage appeared of Lin Xu during class, sneaking snacks handed from Shen Jiayue, munching them, with new subtitles appearing:

[Spring of 2020, Being Fed by Love—Videographer: Li Dakai]

...

Various scenes emerged gradually. There were warm, funny, and loud moments, even the scene from graduation photo day when others wanted a photo with Lin Xu, and Shen Jiayue got mad.

The video varied in clarity, and there were even security camera footages from the school.

Watching it made Shen Jiayue’s eyes misty, and even the classmates watching also had wet eyes.

This is both Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue’s love journey and a memoir of everyone’s youth.

In between, there were clips of Lin Xu playing basketball. Every time he scored, Shen Jiayue in the stands would cheer loudly, handing drinks and towels during half-time breaks.

Many onlookers were silently amazed.

What seemed like a rushed love affair between the two actually had its budding in school.

This type of romantic relationship culminating successfully is truly gratifying, prompting many to consider writing a novel with Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue as the prototypes.

The video ended with Shen Jiayue resting during exercise, as the girl beside her asked:

"Shen Jiayue, which boy do you like in our class?"

"Lin Xu! It’s not just our class, but even in our department, and the entire Finance University or all of Beijing, I only like him!"
