Chapter 8 Love Apartment, here I come!
Hu Yifei looked at the two of them and asked, "How did you get here?"
Lin Wanyu spoke before Lu Zhanbo could, saying, "We first took a bus, then go-karts, then a tow truck, and finally a wedding car before we arrived here."
"Hehe, that's long enough."
Hu Yifei gave a dry laugh.
Lu Zhanbo asked with a smile, "Has the wedding started?"
"It should be considered to have begun."
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and pointed to the wedding venue.
Hu Yifei glared at Zeng Xiaoxian and said resentfully, "It's all your fault! You ruined everything I carefully planned!"
Zeng Xiaoxian didn't refute, but wiped the microphone on his hand with a pout, and then ran onto the stage to save the day.
"Everyone, that was just a little joke. The bride and groom will be here shortly!"
"At this wonderful moment of sharing this celebration, I can feel everyone's heartfelt blessings for the newlyweds."
"So, we also received a special congratulatory letter here, from the very matchmaker for this newlywed couple—the founder of this apartment building!"
Lu Zhanbo asked blankly, "How come someone got killed again?" (The founder)
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and opened the envelope.
"I am delighted to see such a young couple getting married in my apartment. I send them my blessings. You have fulfilled one of my wishes. I welcome all lovers to move into our apartment, so I would like to give you two gifts."
"As my first gift to the newlyweds, within my means, I can fulfill one of their wishes!"
"A second gift for everyone! Any couple who falls in love in our apartment will enjoy free utilities and half-price rent!"
The applause was mixed with cheers.
Martin, backstage, looked hesitant.
To be honest, ever since he found out that he had traveled into the world of "iPartment", he had been thinking about moving in. After all, he still vividly remembered all the funny things that happened in the apartment, and as someone who enjoys having fun, he really didn't want to miss out.
What made him hesitate was the daily transformation he performed every morning; he worried that sharing an apartment with someone else would expose his transformation ability...
"Sigh, this is such a difficult choice."
As for our other two protagonists, Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia, they also met successfully and are now standing together offstage.
Upon hearing the news that utilities would be waived and rent would be halved, the two immediately became excited.
"Really! Did you hear that? What are we waiting for?" Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia exclaimed in unison with surprise.
Lin Wanyu suddenly exclaimed, "Look, the bride and groom have arrived!"
Hu Yifei immediately got into focus, nervously speaking into the walkie-talkie: "Attention all departments! Music on! Lights on! Everything that needs to be on! Repeat, this isn't crying wolf, it's for real! Really! It's for real!"
(Music starts)
Wang Tiezhu and Tian Erniu walked hand in hand on the red carpet.
Lin Wanyu covered her mouth and sobbed with emotion.
Seeing Lin Wanyu's strong reaction, Lu Zhanbo handed her a tissue and asked, "Do you know them?"
Lin Wanyu took the tissue and wiped away her tears, then shook her head, indicating that she did not know him.
Lu Zhanbo was taken aback.
Why are you crying if I don't know you?
"So handsome!"
Chen Meijia looked like a lovesick girl.
Lu Ziqiao muttered, "Finally, I've met the legendary Wang Tiezhu and Tian Erniu."
Martin then realized what was happening and went up on stage.
The moment Chen Meijia saw Martin, she already knew the name for their child, exclaiming infatuatedly, "Wow! This priest is so handsome! I can't take it, I'm going to suffocate! Huff... puff..."
"I think you're a bit dim-witted."
Lu Ziqiao rolled his eyes.
Chen Meijia stared adoringly at Martin on the stage while waving her hand.
With a "smack," the chicken flew and the egg broke, hitting the target perfectly.
Lu Ziqiao clutched his groin and fainted, foaming at the mouth.
Martin, who happened to be on stage, saw this scene. His lips twitched slightly, and he felt a chill below. He glanced at Chen Meijia and quickly looked away.
"(In English) Lord, we come before you. Please bless this couple entering into the sacred hall of marriage. According to your will, may they be united as one, celebrate their wedding, and grow old together in love and happiness. May they walk the heavenly path together, loving, helping, teaching, and trusting one another. May the Father bless their home, and may both husband and wife receive abundant grace. May the Holy Spirit inspire them, and may they revere and love the Savior, praising Him all their lives..."
The wedding, officiated by Martin, went very smoothly, without the kind of blunder of broken English that Lu Ziqiao's version had.
Only after Wang Tiezhu and Tian Erniu exchanged wedding rings did Martin calmly step down from the stage, leaving the stage to the newlyweds.
"Master Ma's hosting was absolutely fantastic! He's only slightly less skilled than me~"
Zeng Xiaoxian clapped his hands vigorously.
Chen Meijia suddenly tapped Zeng Xiaoxian lightly with her finger, took out a piece of paper and read aloud: "Excuse me, are you the...Women's Chairperson of the Residents' Committee of the apartment complex under the subdistrict office?"
Lu Ziqiao, who was following behind Chen Meijia, started to look at Zeng Xiaoxian with a strange expression.
Zeng Xiaoxian nearly strained his back and corrected, "It's the vice chairman!"
"Ah, Vice Chairman, um..."
Lu Ziqiao stepped forward and said first, "It's a coincidence, absolutely a coincidence, a complete coincidence, too much of a coincidence! Right here in this apartment, I just found the person I've been searching for my whole life, and that person is you! My Meijia."
Chen Meijia immediately pretended to be very touched and looked at Lu Ziqiao.
Lu Ziqiao suddenly knelt on one knee, causing Zeng Xiaoxian's eyebrows to twitch.
What's going on? Could it be that these two... are having an affair? Oops! A marriage proposal?
Lu Ziqiao said affectionately, "Your eyes are clear and captivating, your hands are gentle and delicate, your heart is crystal clear. You are my life partner. Will you let me be your man?"
Chen Meijia helped Lu Ziqiao up and replied, "Your arms are strong and powerful, your chest is broad and majestic, and your skin is impervious to swords and spears. You are my future support. Let me accompany you as we grow old together."
Zeng Xiaoxian opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Uh, you two..."
"It was love at first sight!"
"It was a coincidence, truly a very coincidence!"
The two of them emphasized it repeatedly.
Chen Meijia changed the subject, asking expectantly, "Vice Chairman, may we check in?"
"sure."
Zeng Xiaoxian nodded.
Chen Meijia and Lü Ziqiao exchanged a glance, then asked, "Water and electricity are all free, and the rent is halved?"
Zeng Xiaoxian said, "Of course!"
"Ah—that's great!!"
The two cheered with joy.
On the other side, on the stage.
Hu Yifei stopped the two newlyweds.
"Bride and groom, please wait a moment. The landlord just said he can grant you one wish. What is your wish?"
Wang Tiezhu took the microphone from Hu Yifei and said to everyone, "Thank you all for attending our wedding. My wife and I have lived in the apartment for five years, but we have never met before."
Through a chance online chat, we suddenly discovered that we were actually only a wall apart. It was truly unbelievable; a wonderful fate brought us together.
Tian Erniu smiled as she took the microphone and said, "Although we are leaving this apartment today to embark on a new journey, I hope to pass on our happiness to everyone and let our beautiful love always surround us."
So our wish is that, from today onwards, our apartment will be called…”
The two shouted in unison: "iPartment—!!!"
"So, what do you all think?!"
Everyone gave them face and shouted, "Great!"
Martin in the audience applauded enthusiastically.
Damn it, who cares! What kind of young person isn't spirited? I've been given a second chance at life, if I'm going to live timidly, then what's the point of my time travel?
Love Apartment, here I come!
