"Yes, I called Xiaoli, and she asked me to come too."

Zhang Wei clung to the pillar, unwilling to leave: "I've thought about it, I'm not going."

"You are important, you are the bridesmaid."

"Don't you think this is absurd? To then gather with their family, smiling obsequiously, drinking with them, and even dressing like a member of the Imperial Guard!"

"Haven't you already let it go? Sometimes the reality isn't as terrifying as you imagine. Of course, I won't force you. You're the one who said you don't care."

Yifei went back into the room: "I'm going to change my clothes, let's leave right away!"

Is this what you call not forcing me?

No way, I absolutely refuse to go!

Zhang Wei suddenly noticed a box of crayfish on the coffee table. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, picked one up, and stuffed it into... Never mind, I'll just put it in my pocket.

Although going to the emergency room is better than going to a wedding, it's still better!

He started shouting with a lisp.

"Oh dear, oh dear!"

"Yifei, I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore!"

Upon hearing that something had happened, Ye Bai from next door was the first to rush over, even faster than Yi Fei, who was in room 601: "What happened? What's wrong?"

"I accidentally ate a lobster just now..."

"..."

Ye Bai's gaze towards him was strange.

Upon hearing this, Yifei, who had just arrived, looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief.

Zhang Wei glanced at the lobster: "Count them if you don't believe me!"

Ye Bai was worried about his intelligence: "Zhang Wei, who would remember how many lobsters are left on the plate?"

Yifei, however, doubted Zhang Wei's motives for eating the lobster.

He retorted angrily, "Don't you know you're allergic to seafood?!"

"I didn't even pick it off, so I just ate it. It was just sitting there..."

"Nonsense! If there were a gun on the table, would you shoot yourself in the head?"

"I...I need to go to the hospital, otherwise...ga!"

Zhang Wei tilted his head to the side, indicating that he was about to die.

Yifei put her hands on her hips and asked definitively, "Now?"

"If you believe in rebirth from the ashes, you can stand by and watch someone die."

"Alright, alright," Ye Bai stopped him from continuing, "I'm really impressed with you."

Before Ye Bai could make any arrangements, Yi Fei spoke first:

"I'm going downstairs to get a taxi. Ye Bai, get Zhang Wei downstairs, don't let him really die here!"

He turned and left.

After pulling her away, Ye Bai patted Zhang Wei, who was still pretending.

"Alright, stop pretending, they're all gone."

"What am I pretending for? I'm not pretending..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Bai interrupted, "That's enough. You're not really stupid. Why would you go eat lobster? You know allergies can be fatal."

"Even if you're making excuses not to go, pretending to have an allergic reaction is more believable than actually having one."

"Get up! Stop lying in that chair like you're about to die!"

“I can’t hide it from you after all,” Zhang Wei said, his expression turning serious and forlorn. “Hey—it turns out that faking an allergy is much easier than faking nonchalance.”

"What are you sighing about? Go on your way, I'm not going down with you!"

Ye Bai also turned and left.

Unfortunately, Ye Bai didn't know that after arriving at the hospital, Yi Fei saw that Zhang Wei's swelling hadn't increased, so she thought it wasn't serious and suggested that they just grab some medicine and leave, as they could still make it in time.

In an attempt to stall for time, Zhang Wei took out the lobster from his pocket and actually ate it!

...

Inside the bar, Youyou was high-fiving Ye Bai and Qianling.

“I’ve already made arrangements. I’ve posted messages on Guan Gu’s Weibo and forums, saying that the colors in Guan Gu’s comic were wrong, and he’s very angry now, with serious consequences.”

"If I'm not mistaken, this Conch Girl will definitely take the bait."

On the other side of the billiards area, Xiaoxian was frantically making phone calls.

"Wukong, no, Senior Brother! I know you want to prove you're stronger than Guan Gu, but now's not the time. Guan Gu never intended to paint the zombies green."

“I know he’s mentally unstable, but this isn’t the time to argue. If his artwork is ruined, he’ll commit seppuku in a heartbeat… How would I know whose seppuku he’ll commit?”

Ziqiao snatched the phone: "Hey! You did get paid for this."

"You'd better get this sorted out, or I'll file a complaint against you. Okay, we'll wait."

Late at night, Xiaoxian and Ziqiao secretly slipped into Guangu's room with the newly sent artwork.

Ye Bai, Youyou, and Qianling crept to the door of the room and, hearing rustling sounds inside, sent a signal to Guan Gu.

Guan Gu received the message and rushed back from outside. He believed Youyou's promise to take him to see the Conch Girl, so he gently pushed open the door.

As expected, they found two idiots clumsily swapping paintings, which startled everyone.

Outside, Yifei carried Zhang Wei back from the hospital; Zhang Wei's face was still slightly swollen.

"Why are you performing a colonoscopy on me? My butt still hurts." Zhang Wei looked extremely weak.

He was lying on the sofa when Guan Gu ran past, crying.

"Oh... my Conch Girl! My dream has been shattered again! Oh my god!"

"You can't be like Guan Gu. Even if your dreams are shattered, you have to face reality bravely. There's no use in running away." Yi Fei said earnestly as she watched Guan Gu's disappearing figure.

Zhang Wei pretended to suddenly remember.

"Oh dear, I forgot today is Xiaoli's wedding. I completely forgot."

"Oh no, this damn allergy. It's so late, it looks like I'm too late. I guess I'm really destined to never be able to attend her wedding."

Ye Bai followed Guan Gu out.

Seeing Zhang Wei like this, he shook his head and sighed.

Yifei kept laughing to herself.

Zhang Wei immediately had a bad feeling: "What do you mean by this?"

Yifei looked at him: "You're still deliberately trying to skip her wedding. You haven't truly let go, have you?"

"How...how could that be?"

"Zhang Wei!"

Chapter 868 ┤ Yue Qianling missed a big one

Zhang Wei said sincerely, "To be honest, I was really conflicted before, but when my tongue was stuck in my throat just now, I think I suddenly understood."

"Life is full of terrible things, and you can never escape them all if you really try. I'm not even afraid of death, so why would I be afraid to let go of this relationship that's been going on for so long?"

Ye Bai looked at him with a half-smile.

"Are you sure you've really thought this through? You're not afraid of wearing a bridesmaid dress?"

"Yes, but it's too late to talk about this now. Xiaoli's wedding is over, and I obviously missed it again," Zhang Wei sighed.

Yifei smiled mysteriously and said, "Who said that? The wedding isn't today."

"Huh? What did you say?" Zhang Wei was so startled that he fell off the sofa.

"Didn't you see the invitation she gave you?"

"My mind was a complete mess at the time, and I didn't dare to look," Zhang Wei said, picking up the invitation from the table. "Not today?! Then why were you urging me this afternoon to come pick me up from Xiaoli? Where are we going?"

"Didn't you complain that the bridesmaid's dress didn't fit? Today, Yifei took you to get it altered, I know that." Ye Bai finally revealed the answer.

Zhang Wei felt like the sky was falling.

"What? Alterate clothes? Nobody told me I was going to get clothes altered."

Ye Baixiaoxiong shrugged: "I don't think I told you I was going to a wedding."

Zhang Wei banged his head against the sofa.

"I almost lost my life over a piece of clothing!"

“Your image in my heart has become even more impressive now,” Yifei said, noticing a box on the sofa. “Hey, you don’t need to go. Xiaoli has already altered your new clothes and brought them over.”

"What is this?" Zhang Wei looked up.

"Your new bridesmaid dress."

He decided to accept his fate: "As long as the word 'ban' in 'bridesmaid' isn't in it, it'll be fine."

Yifei took it out to show, and the same clothes were now embroidered with a huge "娘" (mother) character.

Zhang Wei glanced at the remaining lobsters, then at his clothes.

Good heavens! Who did I offend in my past life?!

...

Finally, at Ye Bai's prompting, Zhang Wei made up his mind once again, and no one forced him to go against the wishes of this respectable man.

Zhang Wei's bridesmaid incident did not become a black mark on his life.

However, the version of the Snail Girl played by Guan Gu, Zeng Xiaoxian, and Zi Qiao became his inescapable nightmare.

During this time, Zhong Bai, Lu Qiaochuan, and others made phone calls. Xiao Haiyang and Yu Hao, the drivers, had failed their driving test and had gone to their place for refuge.

We had planned to go on a trip, but we ended up playing mahjong and eating hot pot all day long and didn't leave the house at all.
