How far can you go with a liter of gasoline? I refuse to take passengers when I explode like a gasoline explosion! Chapter 29 - Honey, is Lin Yang your ex-boyfriend?

Chapter 29: Honey, is Lin Yang your ex-boyfriend?

Lin Yang waved his hand, saying, “I’m a friend from the bride’s side. You don’t know me.”

The groom, relieved, responded, “Then thank you, please come inside!” Meanwhile, the bookkeeper announced over the microphone, “My friend from the bride’s family, Lin Yang, comes with a gift of 18,000!!” A hush fell over the guests as they turned to look.

The bride’s parents, engaged in conversation, were surprised and rushed over to greet Lin Yang. “Dear family, this young man named Lin Yang is your relative?” They asked.

Confused, the bride’s parents inquired, “Uh… boy, are you my Qin Xue’s friend?”

Lin Yang smiled, “It can be understood in this way.”

The bride’s mother realised, “You must be Qin Xue’s classmate! Oh… it’s fine if you come, and you still have such a big red envelope. Hurry up, please come inside!” Lin Yang was invited in and seated in an upper position.

The bride’s parents were delighted, leaving Lin Yang to chat with relatives. However, hearing the buzz about Lin Yang’s generous 18,000 yuan gift, the groom began to wonder about his identity. The talk in the banquet hall revolved around who Lin Yang might be – a classmate, childhood friend, or even an ex-boyfriend. These speculations reached the groom’s ears, adding a layer of tension to the celebration.

Just as the groom was perplexed, someone behind him excitedly shared, “Brother, there are 8,000 people on the live broadcast this time!!” The groom, realising the situation, came back to his senses. He was an anchor, live broadcasting his wedding, and Lin Yang’s unexpected appearance had contributed to a record-breaking 8,000 viewers.

After enduring the bride’s parents’ questions, Lin Yang felt the pressure of making up stories. Although he knew only the bride’s name, he managed to navigate the conversation with some quick thinking. Despite the challenge, he couldn’t help but feel tired, especially considering the 2,000 yuan he received for running errands. Nonetheless, he continued to weave stories, determined to make the best of the situation.

[Popularity]+1+1+1+1…

….

[I can’t laugh anymore. It’s finally time to see Lin Yang in pain. I feel embarrassed for him. If I were sitting there, I would have been unable to bear it.].

[He has thick skin, what do you think? With his ability to make up stories, it is not a problem for him to write a novel. You didn’t see how happy the bride’s parents are now, and those who didn’t know thought he was the groom.].

[Brothers, I suddenly saw a live broadcast just now and was getting married. Coincidentally, I saw Lin Yang. This groom turned out to be an anchor, and his popularity is not bad. There are 8,000 people. Shall we go there and blow up the street?].

[Damn it! This is good! Didn’t Lin Yang promise the man to give a face to the bride’s parents? There are more than 200,000 people in our live broadcast room. If they suddenly parachuted there, the groom would probably be dumbfounded, right?].

[What’s the room number? Send me a message. Let’s all join in the fun. After all, are you married? Let’s celebrate it.].

….

After Lin Yang persisted for over half an hour, the wedding was finally set to commence. All guests were seated, and Lin Yang willingly gave up the main seat to honour the immediate elders of the bride and groom. Initially planning to sit anywhere, he was convinced by a bridesmaid to join their table, which was filled mostly with women and offered only one male presence. Caught amidst them, Lin Yang relished the situation, leaving onlookers envious.

As piano music resonated, the host took the stage, emphasising the live broadcast effect for the groom. A talented pianist graced the stage, her performance guided by the host. After the music, the host thanked the attendees and officially commenced the ceremony.

Two minutes later, after the speech, the groom, holding flowers, stepped onto the stage. The wedding music played, and with her father’s support, the bride, adorned in a wedding dress, gracefully walked down the aisle. Reaching the end, she joined hands with the groom, completing the handover ceremony amid blessings from all. Witnessed by relatives and friends, they officially became husband and wife.

Post-ceremony, as the hotel staff began serving food, Lin Yang, ignoring decorum, prioritised satisfying his hunger. The girls at his table were shocked, wondering if he intended to devour his entire eighteen thousand at the dinner table.

Simultaneously, backstage at the wedding, the makeup artist attended to the bride’s final touches while her mother inquired about the past relationship with Lin Yang.

“Qin Xue, share with Mom, what was your connection with Lin Yang before? Was he your ex-boyfriend?”

Qin Xue hesitated for a moment. “Mom? Lin Yang?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

The bride was puzzled, “Ah??? I don’t know Lin Yang!”

“What?” Her mother paused, persisting, “You don’t know? Didn’t he come with a gift of eighteen thousand?”

Dumbfounded, Qin Xue, focused on her makeup, was unaware of previous events. “Mom, are you kidding? Eighteen thousand? Are you sure his name is Lin Yang? I really don’t know him!”

“Oh no!” Her mother slapped her thigh. “He claimed to be your classmate, talking about this and that. Could he have ulterior motives?”

Qin Xue frowned, “Why don’t I ask?”

“No, you’re getting married today. You’ll thank the guests later. If you ask him what he looks like…”

“What should I do?”

Just then, the groom entered the dressing room. “Honey, everything okay? Great news — my live broadcast room hit over 20,000 viewers today!”

Qin Xue’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

The groom proudly shared, “Absolutely! Our wedding has over 20,000 online spectators!”

“I wanted to ask earlier, who’s Lin Yang?”

“He… Can I say I don’t know him?”

“Really? Don’t lie. If he’s an ex-boyfriend, just tell me. I won’t be jealous.”

Qin Xue looked at her husband, on the verge of tears. The blame for this situation rested squarely on his shoulders.

“Honey, I’m not lying. I really don’t know him.”

These words prompted contemplation while online spectators in the groom’s chat laughed.

[Haha, I can’t stop laughing, thanks to me coming over to take a look otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll never see this once-in-a-lifetime scene.].

[He’s shameless, isn’t he? With his storytelling skills, he could easily write a novel. Just look at how happy the bride’s parents are now. If you didn’t know better, you’d think he’s the groom instead.].

[It’s not enough. There are only more than 20,000 people, and the room number was clearly issued just now. What’s going on, isn’t it to help the mother’s family save face?].

[Come here, I swipe the screen too fast over there, and the room number is suddenly gone. It took me a long time to find it, brothers. I didn’t miss anything, right?].

….

Amid the confusion, a young man following the live broadcast voiced suspicion, “Brother… Is there a bug in our live broadcast room? Just a moment ago, there were 20,000 people… now it’s jumped to 100,000???”
