Qing'er only remembered Shui Xinyuan and the emperor standing at the door watching her walk into Zhuge's house.

However, the stone road leading to the door, the garden paths and corridors...the countless candlelights guiding her made this familiar house look like another world, and Qing'er's consciousness drifted into the distance.

…It’s almost like a dream…

After sunset, candlelight greets the bride.

When my sisters got married, they also saw these candles.

At that time, my sister in red was walking in front of me... Now, there was no one in front of me.

The candle leads to one of the rooms, the door of which is open.

Qing'er knew that all the wedding guests were looking at her, but it all seemed as blurry as a dream.

Where is this?...Why are you here?

She saw the hem of her red dress, her red wedding dress.

By the way...I am the bride today.

"..."

When she raised her head, Zhuge Qing appeared in front of her.

Zhuge Qing looked very uncomfortable in his groom's clothes. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at himself nervously.

...Will he laugh at me again?

Will he say with an unbearable expression that I don't look good in this dress...that I'm funny?

Qing'er couldn't help but sit next to Zhuge Qing, took a sip from the wine glass handed to her, and listened blankly to what others were saying.

I am the bride, and Zhuge Qing is by my side... I thought it was a dream, but it turned out to be so real.

……no problem……

My friend's words echoed in my ears, supporting me who was feeling heavy.

No problem...absolutely no problem.

……Really?

Shui Xinyuan, is it true?

However, Zhuge Qing's expression is too terrifying...

He didn't say a word when he saw me... He used to at least say that the clothes I wore didn't look good, but now he didn't even say anything.

Shui Xinyuan, I definitely can’t do it...

Your Majesty, I will not marry you unless you are... But I am different from you. I only married me because the Zhuge family wanted a daughter, so Zhuge Qing married me...

It’s not that Zhuge Qing has to marry me, but it doesn’t matter if he marries me.

That must be it...

Qing'er stared at the wine glass in her hand, and the wine glass gradually became twisted.

His vision became more and more distorted and blurred, and he gradually lost sight.

……very scary……

Zhuge Qing...

"..."

A pair of big hands grasped her fists on her legs.

Qing'er turned to look at the owner of those hands.

"Qing'er, let's go..."

"ah……"

Qing'er woke up completely.

The sound of music, chatter and laughter that had not been heard a moment ago suddenly reached my ears.

"follow me."

"wait……"

Zhuge Qing's strong hands grabbed her, and she stood up unsteadily.

The chatting and laughter of the wedding guests suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at them, but then everyone continued chatting and looked away.

Qing'er was pulled out of the room by Zhuge Qing.

"Zhuge Qing...you..."

"After the bride and groom worship heaven and earth at the wedding, they can leave at any time and no one will stop us. Isn't that right?"

"Yes...that's right..."

This is indeed the custom for weddings, but several sisters had left after the wedding banquet before, and no one left so early.

Zhuge Qing took Qing'er's hand and walked along the corridor to his room.

Because Zhuge Qing walked too fast, Qing'er started running.

"I can't let you cry there..."

"ah?"

"You were crying just now..."

"..."

Qing'er reached out and touched her face... Until the moment before, she had not noticed this at all.

Zhuge Qing forcefully opened the door to his room and pulled Qing'er into the room.

"Why are you crying?"

Zhuge Qing grabbed Qing'er's shoulders with a solemn expression.

"I...I don't know."

"Are you crying for no reason?"

"I told you I don't know! Just leave me alone."

"How could I not care about you!"

Hearing Zhuge Qing's strong tone, Qing'er couldn't help shrinking her body...tears fell from her cheeks again.

"Qing'er..."

"Leave me alone..."

Too bad.

The makeup I finally put on was ruined, and I looked terrible now.

I really want to go home, I really want to run back to my home and cry loudly...

"...Did I do something wrong?"

Qing'er opened her eyes and saw Zhuge Qing looking at a loss.

"Qing'er, did I do anything to make you unhappy? Did I do something wrong again?"

...Again? Did Zhuge Qing do anything wrong before?

"Please... Qing'er, tell me."

"..."

Zhuge Qing had a helpless expression on his face, and Qing'er thought he was still dreaming.

Is this the Zhuge Qing who just pulled him into this room?

"no……"

"What?"

"I still can't marry you..."

"What?"

Zhuge Qing's shouting voice echoed throughout the room, and Qing'er shrank her body again.

"Wait, wait a minute! Wait a minute! What did you just say?"

"I can't marry..."

"No, wait a minute, stop saying it! Don't say it again, never say it again!"

"..."

Qing'er opened her mouth blankly, blinking desperately, not knowing what to do.

"Wait a minute. Calm down first. Calm down first. Uh... Okay! It's all my fault. It's all my fault, so you must not have such thoughts."
