He knew that Weiwei would believe it, but he asked anyway. Wei Erwei did not answer, but simply rested her head on Lu Mian's shoulder - expressing her thoughts with her actions. It doesn't matter if it's not true, she will deceive herself. “I hope you can live in such a beautiful world. If you still can’t forget me by then, come to me. If you don't want to come to me, then -" Before Lu Mian could finish his words, Wei Erwei interrupted him and pushed him down. The hibiscus tent is washed away by the dusk, and the romantic clothes decorate the mandarin duck bed. The starry wind sweeps across the lingering scene, and the moon reflects the beautiful warm spring light. Chapter 24: A Wedding (Two in One) Game Life Company.
Alicia came excitedly because of Lu Mian's invitation, but she only received a notification. A piece of news that was beyond the expectations of the flawless girl, but also seemed to be expected. "You said, you are getting married!?" Ai Lixia stared at Lu Mian in a daze, her beautiful eyes moving around, her pupils flickering. "Well, it will be in three days," Lu Mian smiled, with less tenderness and more maturity in his smile, "I promised you to inform you in advance, and here is this -" After saying that, he raised his hand and handed over a small red cloth bag that had been prepared long ago and was printed with a golden "喜" character. Alicia took the small red cloth bag and subconsciously weighed it in her hand - it was wedding candy. "This is the one I picked out specially. It must be the sweetest one." Lu Mian said. Hearing this, Alicia's eyes trembled and her cherry lips opened and closed several times, but in the end she couldn't utter a single word. Even she herself couldn't figure out why she had the inexplicable urge to refuse the bag of wedding candy. Why is it? She couldn't figure it out... And just like every time before, this time Alicia still couldn't speak until the end. Lu Mian blinked at Alicia, who suddenly seemed a little sad for some reason, then shook his head slightly and turned to leave. There weren't many people to invite to the wedding, and the task of preparing the banquet wasn't onerous, but it was still something he had to worry about. This time, he didn't ask anyone to send Alicia away happily, nor did he insist on keeping a certain distance from Alicia. no need. Lu Mian knew better than anyone that he had never been and would never be a person who could ignore feelings. On the contrary, he has always been a person who would be broken by sufficiently sincere and heavy emotions, just like the snow globe before. Therefore, he had always been afraid or expecting that Alicia would do something that would really touch him.
When it comes to that point, he will definitely not be able to control himself. Now, this fear and expectation have disappeared without a trace. Lu Mian has received enough sincere and heavy emotions. He would think about how to create a new world where the "Shining Starlight" can continue to exist; he would also wonder when he could reunite with the person he loves in the infinitely intertwined world lines outside of the simulation. But he would never think about Alicia again. No matter what Alicia does next, Lu Mian probably won't feel overwhelmed. He was already able to completely let go of the vague feelings he had for Alicia, so there was naturally no need to deliberately keep any distance. They would be friends, perhaps very good friends, but that was about it. Lu Mian turned around without any reluctance, leaving Ai Lixia to do as she pleased, but suddenly he felt his sleeve being tugged. He turned his head to look at Alicia who was pulling at his sleeve, and asked softly: "what happened?" "Mian, let's have a good talk, shall we? Just this time, just the two of us, okay?" Ailisa, who had already put away the wedding candy, had a trembling voice, her beautiful eyes full of pleading. She was like a desperate gambler, betting that this time she could talk out all her problems and save everything. Lu Mian, whose mentality had changed, thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Come with me." It was noon, the sky was clear blue, and the warm sun was shining brightly, spreading a gentle warmth over the world. A few breezes passed by, outlining an invisible poem in the air. On the rooftop of No Game No Life Company, Lu Mian and Alicia came to this place that was "of great significance" to him, sat down side by side, and listened attentively. Ai Lixia stared at Lu Mian, who was looking at her gently, for a long time and struggled for a long time. Finally, she seemed to muster up the courage and whispered: "Mian, I...about your wedding, can I be a bridesmaid?" Hearing this, Lu Mian, who thought he wouldn't be surprised by anything Alicia said, was still stunned. He thought that "just this time, just the two of us" would have a good talk and discuss some more in-depth topics. I didn't expect that we were discussing bridesmaids-related matters. It’s not impossible. "Sure, if Pang Keding is interested, let her be the bridesmaid as well." After thinking for a while, Lu Mian gave his response. After hearing this response, Alicia pursed her lips and finally showed her signature flawless smile again, "I think she will be happy with it." [After that, Alysia rested her head on your broad shoulders. Facing this somewhat ambiguous action for a person of the same generation, you did not react at all.] [You listened to Alicia's dreamy murmurs with a normal expression, listening to her thoughts.] [She said that she now has an inexplicable urge to take you and escape beyond the blue sky, to the stars and the moon.]
[Okay, that’s good.] [This is also where you and Alicia are always different. ] [Because of your previous experiences, you are actually very realistic, even your ideals are very realistic. 】 [And Alicia is always beautiful, beautiful and dreamy. ] [It's like letting the two of you face a disaster like Honkai Impact 3 together, where if you're not careful, everything will be over.] [You will struggle and give up at the first moment when you realize that you can’t struggle or there is no need to struggle. ] [Alicea will also struggle, but when struggling is useless, she will prefer to make the world full of flowers before the world is destroyed. ] [In reality, you actually yearn for this kind of beauty - it's like an old dream that you will never wake up from and is full of happiness, isn't it? ] [The conversation didn't make any sense until the end, it was just some emotional output of Alicia.] [After all, you can't abandon your fiancée and really run away with her to the stars and moon. ] [As time goes by, you will eventually grow up. ] ----------------- Three days later, the wedding took place. Few guests were invited, only those shining ones who had attended the social gathering before. Lu Mian was wearing a neat black suit. He had a slender figure and a handsome appearance, like a god from heaven. The brides, Paduo, Ying and Weiwei, were all wearing wedding dresses, looking as beautiful as paintings, with surprisingly consistent happy smiles on their faces. On both sides of the four people were Dante and Leon who appeared as best men, and Pancake and Alicia who appeared as bridesmaids. Alicia, dressed in a snow-white dress, looked at the scene in front of her, still in a trance. She thought she could accept everything calmly, but when she saw the wedding dresses of the three brides and the dress she was wearing, she suddenly realized that she still couldn't accept the fact that Lu Mian was getting married. With a layer of holy gauze on his head, Pang Keding looked up at Alicia with a complicated expression, and suddenly used fairy magic to transform into a small hand to rub Alicia's head, as if to comfort her. But in fact, only she herself knows what she wants to say: "It's okay. We never even started this, so it's not a failure in a strict sense." The wedding actually went very plainly and was held in a warm and beautiful atmosphere. Dante, who had rarely worn formal attire and used his ancestral hairspray to comb his hair into an adult look, and Leon, who was also dressed in a suit, walked off the stage together and returned to the table where they were sitting side by side. Leon found Qianjie. The content of their conversation startled Kosmo, who was holding a sunflower nearby. The boy raised his eyes and glanced around, then immediately focused his attention on the sunflower again. It can be seen that he really likes collecting sunshine. Dante walked up to Kevin, only to see that the silly boy was looking forward to something. "What are you doing?"
Seeing that it was Dante, Kevin did not hide anything. He scratched his head and smiled: "When will the food be served?" "..." Dante had to admit that he was rarely so speechless in his life. On the other side, Alicia also hugged Pang Keding and returned to her table. Looking around, the old marginalized man Hua was curled up playing with his phone, Ling was playing with Tailmon, and the two talented and beautiful doctors, Mebius and Mei, were chatting idly. No, isn’t it good too? Alicia thought so. As time goes by, the sun sets and night falls. The wedding, which was not grand but worth remembering, ended, and the shining people who had been together for a short time separated again. They all had their own things to do. Alicia was still the last one to leave among everyone. She was like a thief spying on other people's happiness. She watched the brides walk into the bridal chamber, and then walked to Lu Mian's side. "Mian, will we still be friends?" Even she herself didn't know what kind of mentality she had when she asked this question. Lu Mian stared at Alicia, who seemed to be losing her "color", in silence for several seconds. Finally, he smiled a smile that would make anyone feel at ease. "Of course, at least in my eyes, you will always be my best friend, even though you fired me because of a disagreement." The original intention of bringing up the old matter was to ease the atmosphere, but it seemed to accidentally touch the softest spot in the girl's heart. Ai Lishiya stood quietly where she was, her beautiful eyes fixed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask: "Tell me, if I hadn't left that year, and you hadn't met another girl who made your heart beat faster, how would the story develop?" Then I may never get the relationship I want in my entire life, and there is a high probability that I will regret it for the rest of my life. Guessing the bad ending that was perfectly avoided, Lu Mian shook his head without any hesitation, "Aili, you can ask this question, but I can't think this way, so there will definitely be no answer. "If I must ask, I hope that the road you take will be full of flowers and the sun will shine wherever you go." Really, don't say such foul words. After hearing Lu Mian's answer, Alicia seemed to finally feel the reality of everything around her. As if she was sobbing, she took a few deep breaths, then took two steps forward and hugged the former. The sweet voice was a little dull, as if it was distorted: "Don't think too much, it's just a hug from the flawless pink fairy lady to her friend." "Oh? Are you like this to all your friends?" Lu Mian did not put his arms around Alicia like he did to other girls, but asked suddenly. In an instant, all the emotions and atmosphere that should have been built up with the action were shattered. Miss Pink Fairy was also petrified. Lu Mian sniffed the subtle fragrance lingering around his nose, a smile of fulfillment appeared on the corner of his mouth. Now this hug is really just a hug between friends, very pure, very pure.
[Alicea finally left silently with a puffy face. ] 【so good. 】 [You watched Alicia leave, and the smile on your face became even more sincere.] [Even though what happens to Alicia has nothing to do with you, you still don't want to see her look as sad as before, as if she was just divorced even if she wasn't widowed.] 【Wish her good morning, good afternoon, and good night. 】
