Chapter 8 Chapter Six

I am late.It seems that I must have thought that something happened to me, and I am very worried about me.I looked at my watch, it was past 11 o'clock.After turning a gentle bend, the church is finally in sight.A feeling of tension welled up, but I straightened up naturally. There are still a lot of people on this road, and I drove slowly towards the church while dodging pedestrians on the road. Ah, it's finally back! ... I parked my motorcycle under the ginkgo tree and ran towards the chapel.As I ran, I unbuttoned my shirt with my hands.If I had been given two more minutes, I would have had time to change into a tuxedo.

I pushed open the heavy door and rushed into the chapel. "Xiangzi, I'm sorry!...I'm late..." My words suddenly stopped.Because instead of seeing Xiangzi's shadow, I saw two men standing vaguely in front of the altar, staring at me closely. "Xiangzi?..." I called out. Maybe it's because I haven't come for a long time, so go outside to find me? ... I adjusted my breathing and walked towards the altar. Both men were wearing black tuxedos.Are they like friends?However, we have clearly agreed that only the two of us will attend the wedding, so no one will notify us anymore.

The two of them also stared at me with a surprised look. "No...it's not 'producer'!..." The man wearing silver-rimmed glasses muttered in a low voice.I don't know what happened. The man who spoke was a fair-skinned young man who looked as thin as if he was sick.Maybe it's because you think it suits you to do so?The young man kept brushing his long hair back. This posture made people feel disgusted. Although, I hate this man in front of me very much, but I can't show a very disgusted expression.This is, after all, a place where people should be complimented.If he is still Xiangzi's friend, it is even more impossible to treat him rudely.

"Ah... that..." The man standing next to the man wearing silver-rimmed glasses spoke first, making a sharp voice that didn't match his facial expression. Hearing his voice gave me goosebumps. It was a middle-aged man with a thick face and big ears.Although the weather was not so hot, he kept wiping his forehead with a handkerchief.There is no hair on the top of the head, and the hair is combed randomly into the back.Nothing but alternate hair and scalp. "Well, you are..." "Are you asking me?" I said to that tiger-headed dog face while suppressing my disgust.

The man with the bull head and dog face was panting heavily, and seemed very unhappy. "Um... are you Matsui Shoko's boyfriend?" "Well, I'm her fiancé!..." I said bluntly, "Are you Xiangzi's friends?" "Ah... no, how could it be like this... bastard!..." the bull-faced man gritted his teeth and said angrily. "So, where did Xiangzi go? Did he go out to find me?" "No, I don't think so." This time it was the man wearing the silver-rimmed glasses who answered me, holding on to the frame of his glasses nervously while answering me.

"What's the matter?" I walked to the front of the altar and stood face to face with the two of them, and the tone of my question was somewhat aggressive.The two men didn't answer anything, just the man in the silver-rimmed glasses pointed at the altar, but that was enough. I looked at the altar and gasped.A pure white wedding dress that was torn to shreds, just like the kind of death seen on TV, was placed there horizontally.It looked very miserable. I wanted to run to the altar and get the wedding dress in my hands, but was stopped by a man wearing silver-rimmed glasses.

"You'd better not touch it." I turned my head and stared at the other person's face. "It's best not to destroy the scene!..." "Bastard, what are you talking about?" My voice was a little manic. "Can you tell me what's going on?" "I don't know, I don't know anything." The man wearing silver-rimmed glasses held his right middle finger up on the frame, lowered his head and shook his head. I picked up Xiangzi's wedding dress without any scruples.I can't conclude that this wedding dress belongs to Xiangzi, because I have never seen Xiangzi's appearance in this wedding dress.

It should be like this - this wedding dress is not Xiangzi's, it should be put here by the children who sneaked into the church and played pranks.Xiangzi must have run out to find me, it must be like this! ... I took out the mobile phone in the pocket of my chino pants and dialed Xiangzi's phone number. "It's useless, I can't get in touch." The bull-faced man muttered, accompanied by a snort. As he said, the voice on the mobile phone told me that the number I had dialed was temporarily unavailable. "Where is the luggage? ... Where is the luggage that Xiangzi is carrying with him?" I roared anxiously.

"It's all gone." The bull-faced man sighed. "It's impossible to lie!..." I crossed the altar and opened the lounge door roughly.Xiangzi was supposed to change into her wedding dress here.However, nothing remained in the lounge.I searched around the prayer room next to it, but found nothing.Except for reindeer dolls and Christmas trees, which are piled up in disorder, there is nothing else to see. "Xiangzi!..." I shouted excitedly, "Where are you, Xiangzi?" The two men looked at me and seemed to have a little pity for me.When I saw them like this, I immediately became furious.

"Bastard, why are you so calm?...Are you all Xiangzi's friends? Are you not worried about her at all?" I yelled so loudly that I couldn't believe it myself. "What are you doing... It's so noisy." The door of the church was opened, and an old man walked in, half of his face was covered with white beards.From the color of his pupils and the strange tone of his voice, it can be known that he is a foreigner.But his soft face and round red nose, so lovely to look at, were more Japanese than the foreign-influenced youths of recent years. I soon learned that he was the pastor of this church.Although I have never met him, I have heard about Pastor Jin more than once.

"Where is Xiangzi? Where did his appearance go?" I jumped and shouted anxiously, waving my hands wildly. "Xiangzi?...Oh, you are Xiangzi's fiancé, right?..." The pastor walked up to me calmly and extended his right hand to me, "Hi, please take care of me." "Bastard, where is Xiangzi?" "Ah, it's already at this point, I'm delayed. Are you ready?...Or, let's start now!..." Pastor Jin said with a kind smile. "Wait a minute, Xiangzi isn't here yet!" Since just now, I have been talking loudly, and I feel a dull pain in the back of my throat, as if it was burned. "Xiangzi isn't here? Didn't she come with you?" "Xiangzi should have arrived first. Didn't you see her?" The pastor's expression finally showed a kind of gloom. "It's so strange!... Xiangzi hasn't been here yet? What's the matter?" "Let's go to her house and have a look!..." The man wearing silver-rimmed glasses interrupted suddenly. "Maybe we'll find something." Just guessing here like this will lead to no progress.I can only follow his word. "Just take my car and go." Hearing what the bull-headed and dog-faced man said, I nodded in agreement with the man with silver-rimmed glasses. After asking the pastor to keep the shredded wedding dress on the altar and asking him to contact us quickly after seeing the appearance, the three of us left our church. The man's car with a bull head and a dog face is a white single-compartment tool cart with the words "White Falls Auto Repair" painted on the side of the body.In the trunk, car repair tools piled up like a mountain. The compartment was tidied up relatively cleanly, which made people feel a bit out of place with the rough man in front of him.The man with silver-rimmed glasses sat in the co-pilot, while I sat in the back seat.And in the corner of the back seat, there was a kitten doll that didn't fit the bull-headed dog-faced man.This is his daughter's?Or a gift from his girlfriend? "Ah!" My eyes lit up.I remembered. "Call me on Monday and Friday, I guess I can't be reached." I remembered what Xiangzi said to me. "As usual, this road is still so crowded." "Turn right from the front and take a detour to go farther, which can save some time." "Well, let's go like this." Hearing the suggestion from the man with silver-rimmed glasses, the bull-faced man replied in a nasal voice. Listening to these conversations, it seems that the blood in my whole body is going to flow backwards.Not only the two arms, but also goosebumps on the back. I finally figured out why I felt caught somewhere in my heart when I heard his voice from the very beginning. As if nothing had happened, I took out my mobile phone and flipped through the phone number in the call log.Should still be reserved. When turning into a remote path, the speed of the car began to increase slowly.There was the rough sound of a car engine. “哇哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！……找到了！……” I dialed the number displayed on the mobile phone.There was a burst of mobile phone ringing in the cab.The bull-headed and dog-faced man started to leave the steering wheel with one hand, bent down and groped. I quietly dialed the phone number displayed on the mobile phone screen.At the same time, a mobile phone rang next to the driver's seat.The bull-faced man left the steering wheel with one hand, and began to grope around the seat for a mobile phone. for sure.The call I dialed went to the bully-faced Maizi's mobile phone.That phone number is the mobile phone number of the person from M.S. who called Xiangzi on the day I proposed to Xiangzi. I remembered where I had heard the voice of a bully-faced man.That night, I quietly stole the number from Xiangzi's mobile phone call log, and called this man. "...Ah, I'm sorry!..." I tried my best to hide my uneasiness and said to the two of them calmly. "I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and Xiangzi?" The man wearing silver-rimmed glasses and the bull-headed man looked at each other and frowned at the same time. "Xiang Zi's interpersonal relationship is not very extensive. Her friends, as far as I can think of, are all her classmates in school, colleagues during part-time work, or friends in the cooking class, that's all. But you Both should not be within the scope of what I said. In the end, you are..." "We are her fiancés!..." The bull-headed and dog-faced man replied bitterly.Although I had expected it, such an answer still surprised me. "Me too!..." The man wearing silver-rimmed glasses turned his head and said, with a bitter smile on his face. "What?... What's going on here?" I leaned forward and asked the two of them. "It's nothing, that's all!..." The bull-headed and dog-faced man spat on the side of the road, replied to me, and then stopped the car roughly. "This is too absurd. That woman fell in love with the three of us at the same time. If it's just like this, it's fine. It's not the first time I've been played like this. But, the little girl still thinks it's not enough He even accepted the marriage proposal of the three of us, and decided to hold the wedding on the same day and at the same place. The three of us were all played by that vixen." "It won't be like this..." I denied his statement with a smile. Of course I don't believe what he said is true.It's not that I can't believe it. In fact, in the bottom of my heart, I have begun to waver, and I have already believed in what the other party said. "When you were in the church just now, you asked the two of us, 'Are you two not worried about Xiangzi at all?' Ah, what are you worried about? Now, she may be hiding somewhere, looking at the three of us, silly Hehe, I must be very happy to be played around by her. Now, even if I go to her house, it is futile. I am afraid that the house has already been emptied." "It's probably like this!..." The man wearing silver-rimmed glasses sighed deeply. "I arrived at the church at the appointed time. At that time, I had never seen Xiangzi, but I saw him standing in front of the altar in a daze. It was agreed that the two would hold a wedding. Who is this person? ?..." The man with a bull-headed dog face said angrily, "It's incredible. When I saw the wedding dress on the altar, I was also very panicked at first, but after listening to what he said, I realized that we all I was tricked by Xiangzi." "Everyone was cheated by Xiangzi?... How could it be?" I was a little panicked. "Is she defrauding us by getting married? But, I didn't give Xiangzi a penny, she got nothing!... If she pretends to be defrauding the three of us, then what is her purpose?" "Perhaps, there is no purpose at all?" The bull-headed dog-faced man spat on the road and replied. "This woman is clearly born a slut. She dated the three of us at the same time, and finally agreed to get married. When there is no way to refuse the wedding, let the three meet in the same place, so that it will be easy Did you explain clearly?" "Bastard, how could it be like this!..." My whole body collapsed, and I retracted my body that had been stretched forward, back to the seat, and sighed deeply. "Such a thing... I don't want to believe it." She must be in the apartment.Maybe it was because of a temporary mood change, and I went back home again.The reason why I can't get in touch with the mobile phone is because the phone is charging. The two men in front of them must have been secretly in love with Xiangzi all the time. When they heard that she was getting married, they became restless, so they ran to the church to mess around.The fiancé who said that they are the same, must be talking nonsense. Finally, the car drove to the apartment where Xiangzi lived.The three of us kept knocking on the door of her room as if we were chasing malicious debts; however, there was no sign of anyone inside.Everyone claimed to be Xiangzi's fiancé, but no one had the key to her room. The feeling of being deceived by Xiangzi gradually became stronger.I suddenly remembered that when Xiangzi was asked to give me a key to her house, she flatly refused.At that time, I thought that she wanted to protect her privacy, but now that I think about it, it seems that there are completely other reasons.It looks like she doesn't want me to see that she is with another man... "No, no, it's not like this!..." I beat my head hard and blamed myself, "No, she doesn't look like that kind of woman. Could it be that something happened and she was lying in the room gone?" The three of us got in touch with the management staff of the apartment, explained the whole story while making up appropriate lies, and got the key to Xiangzi's room. However, looks are not in it.I left a note that said: Want to meet and chat with you.After putting the note in the mailbox, he hurriedly left the apartment. After the three of us exchanged names and contact information, we parted ways in front of the church.The big clock in the chapel is already showing two o'clock in the afternoon. If all goes according to plan, we are now on the train for our wedding trip.What happened to Xiangzi? ... I couldn't figure out what was going on, and there was smoke in my throat. I gritted my teeth vigorously and slammed the ginkgo tree in the courtyard of the church. "Beast!... Beast!..." I rubbed my forehead against the tree trunk, chanting the same word over and over, like a spell.
