Flash Marriage

Chapter 7 Jiang Li is a true actor

Since childhood till I grew up I had always despised He Zhi, whether it’s face, shape, IQ scores, hardware or software I did not like anything. She had complimented me just once only, that too because of my ability to eat. But after seeing Jiang Li He Zhi utilized phenomenal efforts, using all the imaginable words to compliment my eyes, indeed making me really flattered but even then did not dare to tell her about Jiang Li’s sexual orientation.

Because of my good "eyes", He Zhi also acted much more aggressively for my marriage, despite being busy she would rush to help, after work or on the weekend, this immediately made me forget all her past ‘abuse’, I sincerely appreciated her support.

Although He Zhi was never ceremonious with me, but her politeness towards Jiang Li was at a completely different class. Jiang Li unreasonably said that I was not uncivilized but He Zhi was extremely genteel. So, I often sighed, He Zhi and Jiang Li these two people were indeed a homologous pair, if not .... Whenever mentioned this, He Zhi would give me a slap on the head, mercilessly and Jiang Li would gloat over my torture and after randomly adding fuel to the fire would go and sit at one side.

In summary, He Zhi’s feature, ferociousness, could be parried off, while Jiang Li’s character was simply evil, this scum!

Unsurprisingly He Zhi was not only my bridesmaid but also maid of honor and the other bridesmaid was my college friend, Ai Xue. Quite frankly in four-years of college Ai Xue was not my best friend but a different person, whereas now we basically had become two strangers, the reason for that could be compared to throwing dog’s blood*... She stole my boyfriend and that stealing was very successful. Everybody had seen “Struggle”**, which had a girl named Ma Yi Li. I felt I did not get as lucky as Ma Yi Li, there was only her bad luck in my life.

* As mentioned in the previous chapter the term used was ‘gou xue’ meaning cursing someone.
**A highly successful 2007 Chinese drama about post-graduation life of four students.

Aiya aiya, these were the things of the past, not worth mentioning.

He Zhi helped me by making a lot less trouble, only to give me a huge annoyance in the end – since she had a direct hand in my wedding arrangements, so I almost ruined the celebration of my own wedding.

Although busy for two weeks, I had persevered till the end, marriage to me was only a show, just like drinking a cup of boiling water, and one should just run away right after drinking. But I was surprised, from the cup of boiling water that was supposed to be empty emerged a few flies like species, making it disgusting. Ah, that plainly means at the wedding there were some people whom I did not want to see……you do not see wrong, it was ‘some’, not ‘a’.

So the man, who did not care about me at all, was here and was being pushed over onto the stage.

... ..

I really felt that The Almighty really gave me some face, Thought the Sun must be getting married on this day publicly as it was really very hot, just as the earth roasted the sweet potatoes and the roasted one out of oil had to be considered as forsaken I was also spared from the heat.
Fortunately, our wedding was not outdoor event, I basically had to walk to and fro while staying at an air conditioned place otherwise I would really have died of sweating….

The wedding, in fact, was not an interesting thing just boring, I was almost like a large doll at the mercy of others, going here and there, doing strange and cumbersome procedures, not only that, I had to laugh and not just laugh, it had to be a reserved and dignified smile……I really wanted to understand but failed to understand, marriage was obviously a couple's story, why did the whole world run along for the ride?
