A long time ago, Gu Guoxiang imagined the scene when he attended Gu Mingxi's wedding. At that time, he had a certain status in the company, with friends and customers all over the country, and even in E City, there were many partners in the political and business circles. In front of others, Gu Guoxiang was elegant, had strong professional knowledge, and was versatile in dealing with people. Everyone said that his prospects were bright. But those people didn't know that behind his glamour, there was a son with severe disabilities. Gu Mingxi was always a thorn, a tumor, and a scar in Gu Guoxiang's heart. He didn't want to mention it but couldn't give up.

Gu Guoxiang used to have a headache about Gu Mingxi's wedding. He had attended wedding banquets for many high-ranking officials and noble children and gave a lot of red envelopes. How to collect these red envelopes is really a big problem, because he really didn't want his friends to know that he had such a special son.

When Pang Shuisheng went to deliver the invitation, Gu Guoxiang asked him how many tables he had for the wedding banquet. Pang Shuisheng said nothing, so he had to set up twenty tables and prepare two tables. Gu Guoxiang said hesitantly: "Actually, my friend must at least add ten tables."

After hearing this, Pang Shuisheng laughed: "There is a maximum of twenty-four tables in that hall. Your friends will wait for Zi Yue to get married before you invite him."

He gave his sincere advice, and somehow, it made Gu Guoxiang feel hurt.

Gu Guoxiang always thought that Gu Mingxi's wedding must be depressing, simple, and even watched as a joke. Except for the employees of Jincai Company, he almost didn't know anyone else. He would unconsciously look at the eyes of the guests and speculate whether they made fun of Gu Mingxi.

He took it for granted that the guests were all relatives and friends of Pang Qian, and Gu Mingxi should have few guests. Later he found out that he was wrong.

There was a man with a kind appearance who was busy in front of the stage, and was dispatched all over the place, and sometimes he got together with Pang Shuisheng to discuss a few words. Gu Guoxiang sat in his seat and looked at the man in confusion until Pang Shuisheng came to hand in the cigarette.

"Who is that person? Is it from the wedding company?" Gu Guoxiang asked.

"No, that's the elder brother Mingxi recognized." Pang Shuisheng smiled, "His surname is Sha. We call him a shark. He has been busy these days. He is basically the one who dispatches Mingxi and Qianqian's weddings. He helps prepare wedding cars, firecrackers, and happy smoke and wine."

Pang Shuisheng smoked a cigarette with Gu Guoxiang and slowly told him that in addition to the shark, the two young people who had been busy all the time were also Gu Mingxi's good brothers, one of whom was the surname Ge and the other of Hao, had known Gu Mingxi for more than ten years; the middle-aged man with ordinary appearance but indifferent expression was a famous oil painting master in China, and he and the few people around him were Gu Mingxi's teachers; the woman in her thirties and beautiful appearance was Gu Mingxi's Bole, and now he works.

As a partner; the table over there was Pang Qian's colleague, the one who was the leader, Zou, helped Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi a lot in Shanghai. They all recognized Gu Mingxi because Qianqian often took him to participate in activities organized by his colleagues; the table was young, and the one with a little boy was Gu Mingxi's colleague when he was teaching in Sanya; and the two tables of children were Gu Mingxi's classmates now in Shanghai. I heard that he was getting married, so he insisted on coming for a wedding banquet, and he occupied the table preparation...

Gu Guoxiang listened silently and found that he had completely separated from his son's life.

Outside the banquet hall, the makeup artist put on makeup for Pang Qian for the last time and said, "The auspicious time is here, and I'm going to enter the venue."

Pang Qian turned her head and looked at Gu Mingxi, smiling brilliantly, and asked, "Mr. Gu, are you ready?"

Gu Mingxi smiled and nodded: "I'm ready, is Mrs. Gu ready?"

Pang Qian took the bouquet handed over by Wu Feiyan, stood beside Gu Mingxi, and said, "You have to think about it. What we are going to walk on is not this red carpet, but for the rest of our lives."

He nodded: "If a lifetime is not enough, add it to the next life and the next life."

“We will never be separated.”

"Well, we will never be separated."

The door in front of him slowly opened, and the light in the banquet hall dimmed. The only thing that fell in Pang Qian's eyes was the shaking lights and the bright stage in front of the red carpet.

The wedding march sounded in their ears, and Pang Qian turned to see Gu Mingxi again. He was also turning to look at her. They were not nervous at all, and there was only the other person in their eyes.

This is not a show, it is their wedding, it does not need to be grand, does not need to be expensive, does not need to be perfect, and does not even need to walk on the red carpet hand in hand.

As long as you treat each other sincerely, incompleteness will no longer be incompleteness, and regrets will not be regrets.

Their wedding was simple, happy and festive. The emcee responded to their request and set the hosting style as relaxed and humorous without taking the sensational route.

Pang Qian said: "Today is a good day, I don't want anyone to cry."

Xu Shuanghua became their witness. After giving the testimony to the testimony, he hugged Gu Mingxi and said to the microphone: "Mingxi, the teacher will give you a word, test the real money in the fire, test the strong in adversity. The teacher knows that you will not belittle yourself, but you still want to encourage you here, you are definitely an excellent person. The teacher wishes you a happy wedding with Pang Qian and take her to City S when you have time. We have not drunk and chatted together for a long time."

Gu Mingxi smiled and nodded: "It must be! Thank you teacher."

The intimacy that was revealed in their words made many people in the audience look at Gu Guoxiang. Gu Guoxiang was thorning on his back, but he could only sit straight with his body tense.

When exchanging wedding rings, Pang Qian put on a diamond ring openly and tied a string of necklaces with men's rings around Gu Mingxi's neck. After tied them, before the emcee said that the groom could kiss the bride, Pang Qian had already tiptoed and pounced on her, wrapped her arms around Gu Mingxi's neck, and kissed his lips heavily. The force was so strong that Gu Mingxi even took a step back to stand firm.

The emcee was frightened: "Oh, this is the first time I have seen such a anxious bride!"

The audience burst into laughter, Gu Mingxi's face turned red, but Pang Qian snatched the microphone like a madman and shouted: "We are finally getting married! Love has been running for twenty-seven years! Is it easy for us!"

"No! easy! easy-"

The responses to them were a group of old classmates, elementary school, junior high school, high school, college, and Gu Mingxi’s current group of students born in the 1990s were simply a group of demons dancing, which shocked the old employees of the gold materials company.

Zhong Xiaolian was dissatisfied: "The little brat fights us! When I said Qianqian was Mingxi's little wife, they were still breastfeeding!"

People at the table laughed and began to recall the past in the courtyard. Gu Guoxiang, who was sitting at their next table, looked dark, and the loud voices of middle-aged and elderly people brought the past stories into his ears one by one. He silently took out a cigarette and lit it, and he no longer had the appetite to eat.

During the toast session, Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi were entangled by a group of teachers from Sanya. They thought of many tricks to mess with the newcomers. If the newcomers can't finish it, they have to drink. If they can't drink it, they let the best man and bridesmaid drink it. Doudou jumped and jumped beside him, cheering for Teacher Gu. The best man and Fu Qinfeng were almost drunk and lying down, leaving only Zhou Nanzhong with them. The three bridesmaids Yang Lu, Wu Feiyan, and Zheng Qiaoqiao were scared away directly.

While waiting for the toast, Gu Guoxiang received a call from Gu Guoying, saying that Gu Ziyue had lost her temper at home and was clamoring to find her mother. Gu Guoxiang was upset and shouted at the phone: "You ask her to call her mother by herself! If her mother is willing to pick her up, we will deliver it tomorrow morning!"

After hanging up the phone, he calmed down for a while, but was still worried. He stood up with the car key and said to Dong Yuan: "Uncle has gone back in advance. You can send grandma home later."

Dong Yuan said yes and said, "But uncle, we haven't been to our table yet."

"Forget it, I'll go and say something to them."

Gu Guoxiang walked to the noisy table, and Xie Yi and Jiang Zhiya had already come to help the newcomers. The group had a lot of fun, and Gu Mingxi was also filled with a lot of wine, blushing, and was bargaining with Teacher Chen to drink less.

Gu Guoxiang separated the crowd and squeezed to him, patted his shoulder, Gu Mingxi turned around and asked for a drink, but he was a little confused and didn't call out at once. Gu Guoxiang said, "Mingxi, I have something to do, and I have to leave first."

"Oh, okay." Gu Mingxi was about to say he was sent to him, but Ji Xiuer pushed him over: "Teacher Gu didn't finish drinking it, don't want to run away!"

Gu Mingxi glanced at Gu Guoxiang again and said, "Dad, then I won't send you there. Be careful when driving."

Gu Guoxiang nodded, before leaving, he stuffed a bank card into his pocket, leaned into his ear and said, "The password is your birthday, Dad gave it to you, you can keep it."

After saying that, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked out of the hall while lighting a cigarette.

A series of voices came from behind: "Teacher Gu, is that your father?"

"Dad dad?"

"Yeah? Teacher Gu, do you have a father?"

"Why have you never heard of it?"

Gu Guoxiang walked out of the banquet hall and met many old colleagues along the way. They all smiled at him politely, and then turned around and started chatting.

The noisy, lively, festive and joy were separated by the door. Gu Guoxiang was about to walk to the parking lot when Pang Qian's voice suddenly came from behind: "Uncle Gu!"

Gu Guoxiang turned around and saw Pang Qian wearing a red dress trotting towards him with her skirt. She handed the bank card back to him: "Uncle Gu, take this back, we are not short of money."

Gu Guoxiang originally thought he would be angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he just whispered: "Mingxi got married and bought a house, and I didn't give you anything. The money here is not much, only 100,000 yuan. If you accept it, you can pay a little mortgage."

"Thank you, but we really don't need it." Pang Qian also drank a lot of wine, her cheeks flushed, her eyes were a little confused, and her words were still clear, "If you don't accept me, I'll send it back."

Gu Guoxiang stared at her: "Pang Qian, don't make any decisions for Mingxi."

"I didn't make a decision for him. He asked me to chase you. He had no hands and could not repay you." Pang Qian ignored it and stepped forward and stuffed the bank card into Gu Guoxiang's pocket. She also held a cigarette and a lighter in her other hand. She handed the cigarette to Gu Guoxiang. He took it blankly. Pang Qian signaled him to suck it to the side of her mouth. She put the lighter on her to light it and said, "Gu Mingxi said, I didn't have time to toast you. I'm so sorry, this bride's happy cigarette must be asked to suck it."

Gu Guoxiang: "..."

Pang Qian glanced at him: "Uncle, I have to go back to toast, goodbye."

She turned around and ran back. She was wearing a fiery red dress, as enchanting as a ball of fire, leaving only Gu Guoxiang at the door of the hotel, holding the bank card in his pocket, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

That night, Gu Mingxi felt that she seemed to have returned to Sanya.

Starry night, by the sea.

The moon hangs on the sea level, and the stars shine on the night sky. The coast is full of tropical plants. The breeze blowing towards him brings the breath of the sea. Gu Mingxi stepped on the delicate beach with barefoot barefoot. During the day, the beach is very hot by the sun, and walking barefoot will be a bit burning, but at night, he only feels warm and comfortable under his feet.

There was not a single person by the beach, but he didn't find it strange. He was naked and had only a pair of beach pants on his body. When the sea water overflowed his instep, Gu Mingxi seemed to be able to feel that refreshing and comfortable feeling. He was a little hot and urgently needed this comfortable sea water to cool him down.

Just as I was about to go into the water, a man's voice suddenly came from behind me. His clear voice was a little low, and it sounded very familiar.

"Gu Mingxi."

Gu Mingxi turned around and saw a young man walking slowly towards him.

Tall figure, hair that is blown by the wind, brightly contoured facial features, and deep eyes as dark as the night. When you smile, the tiger teeth in your mouth appear faintly.

He was also naked, with wide shoulders and thin waist, symmetrical muscles on his body, and a pair of strong and toned arms. When he walked to Gu Mingxi, he took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pants pocket, lit it skillfully, squinted his eyes and took a breath, and gently spit out the smoke rings.

Gu Mingxi looked at his slender and beautiful fingers, and cigarettes burned between his fingers, leaving silent.

Two men who looked exactly the same stood silently by the sea, the sea breeze whistled, and after a long time, the man asked, "Don't you want to know who I am?"

Gu Mingxi shook his head.

The man poked his heart with his index finger: "I am you."

"I know." Gu Mingxi said.

"Have you seen me?"

"Maybe." Gu Mingxi smiled, "When I was a child, I couldn't write well with my feet and couldn't eat well. I would see you at night. I would be bullied by children and accidentally fell while walking. I would see you. I would be rejected by many schools, laughed at by others, and looked down upon me."

"Yes, I've always been with you and grown up with you." The man also smiled, playing with a lighter on his right hand, and his posture was very cool. "I always told you that you don't have to work so hard. You are different from others, and you don't need to treat yourself with such strict requirements."

Gu Mingxi said: "With that being said, in fact, I don't want to see you. There were so many years when I rarely think of you."

The man smiled: "But when you graduated from high school, we still met. Have you forgotten? Under the sycamore trees in that small park, it was raining heavily, you were crying, I know, you thought of me again."

He was telling the truth, and Gu Mingxi's eyes dimmed.

The man said again: "We met frequently in those years later, weren't we? We were in City Z, City S, Sanya... and even in that year, in Shanghai."

"That's right." Gu Mingxi's voice lowered a lot, but after a while, he said firmly, "But, that's all over, everything is over, I'm fine now."

"You mean, we won't meet again in the future, right?" The man's eyes were smiling, "Gu Mingxi, don't show off. Everyone has times of vulnerability. Everyone longs for something that they will never get. In your heart, I am your most perfect appearance and your ultimate ideal. Although you never tell others, I am you, and you can't hide any ideas from me. I know you often think, how great it would be if you could be like me."

The man is really handsome, with broad shoulders, developed chest muscles, and thin belly with clear barriers on his abdominal muscles. When he spoke, his hands made gestures casually, and his whole body was calm and his eyes were sharp.

Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "I don't deny that I have thought that way, but you can't deny that I have hardly thought of it in recent years."

The man thought about it and curled his lips helplessly: "That's right. But... Gu Mingxi, do you really don't want to see me again?"

"You are wrong. You have never been my ultimate ideal." Gu Mingxi said calmly, "You are just my imagination, a utopia that I imagined in my head when I was helpless. I now understand what my ideal is, so, yes, I don't want to see you again."

"You called me out and came to say goodbye to me, right?" the man asked.

Gu Mingxi's eyes were as deep as the sea under his feet: "Yes, I'll say goodbye to you. Thank you for your company over the past 22 years, but I will no longer need you in the future."

He took a deep breath and repeated, "Really, I don't need you anymore."

As soon as the words finished, the man finished smoking. As Mars went out between his fingers, his whole body gradually became transparent, and his face felt relieved. The tide once again surged onto the beach, and the sea water touched his feet, like a bubble was pierced, and in just a moment, he disappeared.

There was only one Gu Mingxi left by the beach. He looked down at his shoulders, and there was nothing there except the faint scars under his armpits.
