What happened in the summer of 2020

wedding?

No, no.I said to the hostess embarrassingly, shaking my head and walking out.

However, my gaze came across a standing full-length photo.

It was clearly a wedding photo.

I can no longer recognize the woman in the photo because of the makeup and special effects.

But the man in the photo, even with makeup and special effects, I can still recognize at a glance, that is Cang Hai.

Is this Cang Hai's wedding?

Isn't Cang Hai already married?

But the name printed on the photo is indeed Cang Hai.

Is there something wrong with my memory again?

I couldn't react for a moment.

I must have stared at the photo.

The hostess reminded me softly.

I just stabilized my emotions.

I think there must be a reasonable explanation for this.

I'm going to ask someone I know.

I asked the hostess how to get to the main hall.

The hostess said weakly: Are you here to attend the wedding?Is it the man's guest, or the woman's?

I said: I am the man's classmate.

Miss etiquette was not too sure, but she still led me the way. In fact, bypassing a few pillars and screens is the main hall.There were some guests here and there, and the wedding photos scrolled on the screen. The lights were not fully turned on, so it was a little dark.

I walked towards the occupied table and finally saw a somewhat familiar face.

I waved my hand, and the other party was a little confused.

I sat down next to him before he reacted.

He said: I didn't recognize you, why did you change?

I don't feel like I've changed.

He said again: Why do you still look like a student?

I said: Then have I changed, or have I not changed?

He shook his head and said: His voice has also changed, it has a Shanghai flavor.

I said: I have been in Shanghai for so long, but I can’t understand a word of Shanghai dialect, but I still think Tianjin dialect is friendly.

He said: That's right, everyone stays in Tianjin and Beijing, it's only you who travel so far.

We said a few words at random, all of this joking nature.

I still decided to ask, although I was a little embarrassed, I said: Cang Hai didn't tell me that today was his wedding, I thought it was just a few of us eating and chatting.

He smiled a little strangely.

I really don't look at people.

I can't see whether he knew about it before, and whether he partnered with Cang Hai to punish me.

I said: I thought he was married.

He said: I got the certificate a few months ago, but because of the epidemic, the wedding has been postponed until now.

I said: Then why did you choose the school?

He said: Then you (the woman) don’t know each other. They are both classmates, so I chose this one. This grade is enough and compelling.In the past, you couldn't even order it if you wanted to. It is estimated that it is a special period and business needs.

Oh, I look around.

The classmate said: The place here is a bit small, and it can accommodate more than a dozen tables. Canghai didn't think about it, and they are all relatives and close friends.

I thought it was in line with Cang Hai's personality, but I suddenly thought of a practical question, and I said: where do I pay the gift money?

The classmate laughed a little strangely again, and said: If he has money, it’s not bad, and he doesn’t accept money from his old classmates.He is hiding it from you, probably because he doesn't want you to be too concerned about this.

ah?I said: Do you have any gifts?

He said: Several of us partnered to buy one.

Uh, so what should I do?This realistic question immediately rescued me from the previous state of confusion.I started to use my brain.

The relationship between me and Cang Hai, I have always been narcissistic, thinking that it is deeper and does not need to involve secular interests.But after all, I am not a student now, I think it is still appropriate to give a gift, and it should be a decent one.

I opened the delivery app to see if there was anything decent in the nearby supermarket.

I looked at red wine, small household appliances, and even maternity and baby products, but I thought of a practical problem. I don’t know if takeaway can be delivered to the campus nowadays.

Classmates said it should be possible.

I think order red wine to try.

But I don't understand wine.

I asked someone for help on WeChat, and sent him pictures of several wines with relatively high prices in the supermarket, and asked him to see if they were pheasant brands.

Some did not understand at first.

I explained to him the situation I was in.

I thought he would give me an answer soon.

As a result, he didn't respond for several minutes.

I asked again, and he replied that the second picture was okay.

I hurriedly placed the order, and the APP showed that it was expected to be delivered in 50 minutes, so it should be in time.

At this time, I finally saw the sea.He appears on the edge of the stage.

I thought he must be very busy today, so instead of waiting for him to come to me, I took the initiative to walk towards him, wanting to chat with him while there were few people around.

I ended up walking towards him and he walked towards the back of the stage.

The lights were dim and there was music, and it was not convenient for me to shout, so I quickly chased him, and finally stopped him when he was about to turn into a door.

He turned around and saw me with a smile on his face.

However, I don't know if it's because of his makeup, or because he's already made too many ceremonial expressions on this big day, but I always feel a little... not so comfortable.Before this day, I had fantasized that my appearance and our reunion would have the glory of revisiting the past, but at this time, it may be that the background music is not right, and the words are really just greetings.

He must have realized it too. At this time, another staff member called him, so he patted me on the shoulder and said like a promise: Brother, I will talk to you later.

I quickly said: You are busy with your own business, don't worry about me.

Then I stood by the stage and watched the scrolling wedding photos for a while.

At this time, there were more guests, several other old classmates also arrived, and one old classmate led his wife and children.

I gave them the special products I brought and chatted casually.

The phone vibrated, and when I saw it was a Tianjin number, I walked out while answering the phone, thinking that the red wine had arrived.

It turned out to be a phone call from the supermarket telling me that the red wine was out of stock.

I said to change it, but he said it was inconvenient to change it. I may be in a state of confusion. I always feel that he is deliberately rejecting this business. I don’t know what he is worried about, so I can only give up in the end.

Hang up the phone, somewhat frustrated.

There were people coming in and out of the door, so I walked to the side of the road, called a certain person, and told him all the experiences of this hour.

It seems that the emotions that were originally prepared to be given to Cang Hai to his old classmates, but not expressed, were all vented to a certain person.

I said: I just want to get a decent gift and watch the ceremony smoothly.

But, do I really only care about the gift?

Although a certain one didn't ask, he must have heard that there were other reasons for my upset.

It's probably the first time I've talked to someone so emotional.

The last time I spoke so emotionally was when I resigned from the law firm.

The last time, it was on the tree-lined avenue of the university, and he found that he couldn't get out no matter what, and when he collapsed to the point of slapping himself, Cang Hai appeared under the dim streetlight at the right time.

It turned out that after so many years, I didn't make much progress, and I was still a slave to that emotional shadow.

A certain listened silently to my venting, and only asked: Have you prepared a gift for me tonight?

I didn't react at once.

He said again: Where did you put it?I can not find it.

I said: at the front desk of the hotel.

He said: I will send it to you, and you will send it to Canghai.

I want to say no.

I want to be ashamed to say that it is just a Polaroid camera, I only spent 10 minutes to choose it, and it was less than 500 yuan.

However, I didn't say anything.

I can clearly feel the retribution for my perfunctory treatment of Valentine's Day at this time.

However, I felt comforted in my heart again.

Only ten minutes.

A certain one arrived.

He handed me the gift.

I said: If I kiss you now, will it be too green tea?

He said: Then you can see for yourself.

I was just about to see it in person when I suddenly heard the sound of the sea.

I don't know if he came out to pick up people, or came out to find me.

It seems that fate is like this, I think fate is to let me introduce him to a certain understanding.

However, fate is unpredictable.

Before I could speak, Cang Hai asked a certain: Why are you here?
