Today is the wedding day of Blue's cousin, Ji Mei, and she still haven't seen her. Ji Mei really needs some scolding from her. She dared to keep her engagement from Blue for more than a year. She just heard from the house maids that Ji Mei and Fu Quan are engaged for more than a year. Blue called Ji Mei last week and thought that Ji Mek and Fu Quan are just a normal boyfriend-girlfriend couple. She felt stupid.
Blue stared at her reflection in the mirror that occupied one whole wall in her walk-in closet. She looks so delicate and pure, wearing a white sleeveless dress. It's a simple flowing dress but it fits perfectly on her, and she thinks that no one can wear the dress more beautifully than she did.
Blue went out of the walk-in closet and went straight to the living room where the hair stylist is. The housemaids just left the living room, dressed in Imperial Palace maids' costume, and of course, their hair matched their outfit.
Blue doesn't really know what's going on her cousin's mind. Making the maids wear a costume like that, even though her wedding is western-style.
Blue sat in front of the hair stylist and the hair stylist smiled at her. The hair stylist is a young and fashionable woman, wearing a pair of white suit and slacks. Underneath her white suit is a black sleeveless shirt with thin straps. To match her outfit, she wore a bloody red lipstick and her is not tied. Her shoes, she's wearing a black closed stilletto. Blue rated the hair stylist's outfit in her mind, and her rating was 90 points over 100 points. Not bad for a professional look.
The stylist started to fix Blue's hair. Blue noticed that the stylist tied her hair into a low messy bun. Some strands of her hair was purposely left out to enhance Blue's face shape. The stylist didn't need to curl Blue's hair because her hair is naturally wavy.
The stylist stuck a piece of stargazer in Blue's right earlobe. Blue stood up when the stylist gave her an okay sign and went back to her walk-in closet to see what she looks like.
Blue turned around in front of the mirror and she smiled sweetly. She suddenly stopped smiling when she realized that she looks so stupid while spinning around.
She seriously stared at her reflection in the mirror and smiled elegantly.
"Perfect. I look so stunning." Blue assessed her self. With her light makeup on, her outfit, her hairstyle, and her shoes, no one can really accuse her of being ugly because seeing Blue face to face, everyone would know that all of the people who dared to accuse her of being ugly are liars.
Blue left the walk-in closet and went downstairs. It seems like she's the only one left inside their house so she went outside and saw that their garden is gradually being filled with people.
Blue walked around the garden and saw the set-up of the platform at the center of their lake. She wanted to snort. Who turned it into a gazebo?
Blue was almost blinded by the design of their garden. It was filled with white roses, white silk, white everything. She doesn't like the color white so everything's an eyesore to her.
If the color theme was black and gold, she'll be very delighted.
Blue freely walked around and she's very happy because no one recognized her as Blue, the fashion designer.
"Oh my! If I'm not mistaken, are you Blue, the well-known designer under the 1997 company?" A woman in her early thirties approached Blue. The woman spoke in Chinese. Blue wanted to scratch her head because she went to Sanya to have a vacation, not to discuss business, but she doesn't want to be disrespectful.
"Ah, yes." Blue answered in Chinese and the woman looked shocked.
"Wow, you can speak in Chinese. Being here today, how are you related to the bride or the groom?"
"I'm the bride's cousin."
"Oh! I didn't expect that you're Ji Mei's cousin. By the way, I'm Su Ming. I'm Ji Mei's boss." The woman introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Su Ming. I need to thank you for taking care of Ji Mei."
"Ah, it's my duty! Well, now that you're here, me and my boyfriend are already planning our wedding, and I want you to design my wedding dress." Su Ming said and Blue wanted to frown.
"Mm, I'm willing, but isn't it quite improper to talk about business here? You can contact me through my website." Blue politely said.
"Ah, hehe. Ms. Blue is right. How inconsiderate of me." Blue just smiled at the woman's comment. "Then I should take my leave."
Blue wanted to shout in glee when Su Ming finally left but the wedding organizer called the people who are a part of the wedding entourage. The organizer instructed them to go to the entrance where the entourage will start through her mic.
Blue silently went to the entrance and the organizer started to arrange them. They are now lined up and Blue was silent because her partner has still not arrived. She's really going to beat her cousin up if she's going to walk alone in the wedding entourage.
Blue held tightly on the piece of white rose given to her by the wedding organizer. All of the bridesmaid are holding one.
Blue breathed deeply when a man stood up beside her. Blue glanced at the man's direction and saw a man with a neatly cut hair, wearing an American-style suit and he looked so perfect just by standing up.
Of course, Blue wouldn't be blinded by his perfect face. She knows the man who stood beside her. It's the man who had mistaken her table as a trashcan, Light Lim.
Light suddenly turned his head to Blue's direction and they stared at each other for a while.
"..."
"..."
When no one was talking, both of them felt embarrassed and turned their head in opposite sides.
"Okay, we'll start in just a few minutes." The wedding organizer announced.
Everyone prepared themselves and the bridesmaids held on the groomsmen's arms. Blue is the only person who wasn't moving and she was startled when the man beside her held her hand and started to walk slowly. The people in front of them are now walking.
Blue wanted to scratch Light's face. Is he an idiot? The girls are supposed to hold the man's arm, not the hand. Light's brain is really not working well.
Now, the guests are looking meaningfully at Light and Blue's hands that are clasped together.
Luckily, Light finally let go of her hand when they reached the front of the guests' area. Girls are seated in the left part and boys are seated in the right part.
Everyone faced the aisle when the bride started to walk gracefully, holding on to her father's arm.
When the bride reached the gazebo at the center of the lake, the wedding ceremony took place and everyone was attentive.
When the ceremony was finished, Blue didn't leave her seat. The reception will also take place in their house's garden and Blue knows that the food will be brought directly to their tables.
When the food arrived, Blue started to dig in. This is just one of the rare days where she can eat delicious foods so she should make the most of it. When she returns to X City, she'll be back to her unhealthy lifestyle. Eating all instant noodles in her cupboard.
An emcee stood in front and started talking. Later on, the bride and the groom arrived, wearing more comfortable clothes.
Some necessary formalities took place and it's time for the part where the newly weds' loved ones will congratulate them for their marriage on the stage.
"We'll hear a message from our bride's favorite cousin, Blossom Qin." The emcee said.
"..." Blue was silent. Why did they involve her again?
Of course, she has no choice but to go in front and say her message. She smiled at the newly wedded couple, then she suddenly glared at the two. Fu Quan and Ji Mei felt goosebumps. You must really not provoke the tigress.
"Haha, I just learned about this couple's marriage yesterday! Right, my cousin hid this to me on purpose, afraid of being scolded by me." Blue spoke and everyone laughed. "Well, what else could I do? Jin Mei, though you are a stubborn mule who doesn't listen to me, I'm wishing you happiness. Remember that I can always be a friend, a confidant, a sister, or all of it at once. You, Fu Quan, take care of our family's Ji Mei. You'll be facing me if you dared to hurt her. You married her so you're not unsure of your decisions. You two, be strong and don't harm each other. Congratulations on your message."
The emcee was about to take the mic from Blue's hand but Blue spoke again.
"Right, I'm standing in front of everyone. I shall sing a song for you." Blue said and gave a thumbs up sign to the band hired by the newlyweds.
"This song is called 'Milk Bread.' It's sang by Yang Zi."
The band started playing the song and Blue started to sing. This is her gift for her cousin.
(A/N: This is a Chinese song so the lines at the top is the Pinyin lyrics and the lines at the bottom of the Pinyin lyrics is the English translation of each line.)
"Shì rú hé bèi nǐ dòng yáo le xīn tiào

To monopolize your embrace?

Memories have been fermented and baked into a unique flavor.
Néng bù néng hǎo bu hǎo zuò wǒ yǒng yuǎn de yī kào
Can you, will you be my support forever?"
Blue finished singing and everyone applauded for her. People from the Qin family really sing well.
Blue went back to her seat and the emcee called other people to give their messages to the newlyweds.
