You're My Only Star

Chapter 214 - Wedding Ceremony

After Lu Xun had left, Song Xing Xing went to take a quick shower before she returned to her room with Mr. Fluffball.

She took her phone and decided to play her games before she sleep. The game had a new update and she wanted to check at the new features. Other than the marriage feature, there were new updates on the maps, weapons as well as some new costumes.

The game's new update was finally released and everyone was excited about the marriage system. However, once they saw the prerequisite to getting married, the players in the game had the urge to complain to the management.

Last time, Huo Yun Chen had mentioned to her that two players who wanted to get married should have a high friendliness level. However, the man had failed to mention that holding a wedding will require a lot of ingots.

At this time, the players who had tied the knot were all players who are willing to spend a lot of real money in the game.

After the new update was launched, the wedding costume was revealed. The moment she saw this wedding costume, Song Xing Xing immediately fell in love with it.

Without enough ingots, they will not be able to receive the costume. Without the costume, what is the point of having this wedding? The costume is pretty and she did not want to miss it.

For Song Xing Xing to have that amount of ingots... she will have to wait for a few months to collect them slowly. A few days ago, she had already spent some ingots to upgrade her equipment. Anyway, there was no way that she was willing to spend that much money on a game.

Even though she could afford that price, her heart would not bear to spend so much money on a game.

After looking around for a while, she ended up spending a few hours completing a few missions on the game as well.

Just as she was about to log off,  Song Xing Xing saw an announcement broadcast to everyone on the server.

A new couple was formed and everyone was invited to attend their wedding. The groom and bride were two of the top player in Song Xing Xing's server: Mr. Dongfang and Winding Road. Those who wish to attend this ceremony will have to arrive at the Central City in five minutes.

Song Xing Xing looked at the name that appeared on her screen and could not help but to feel a little jealous.

In the local chat channel, the other players who were online at this time were congratulating the couple and promised to attend this wedding.

Song Xing Xing looked at the lively local chat room and decided to attend this wedding to take a look.

Even though Song Xing Xing and the two players were from a different guild, her relationship with the two players was not that bad.

Those who were among the top players had known each other for a while and sometimes, they would greet each other in the local channel. They were also on her friend's list.

After she had cleared her mission, Song Xing Xing teleported to the Central City to attend the wedding. Although there were a few couples who had gotten married in this game, this would be the first time that Song Xing Xing would be attending a ceremony.

When she walked over to the church, there were already a lot of people is gathered in the square to wait for the ceremony to start.

As they were waiting, there were a few who had taken this advantage to set up a stall to sell their unwanted high-level equipment as well as a few materials.

A few bored players were seen doing a strange dance in the middle of the square. When others showed up, they started to join in the dance as well.

Song Xing Xing walked around the place and finally found someone she knew. Song Xing Xing stopped in front of Luna and sent a private message to her.

Not Your Little Star: Luna, you are here as well.

Luna: Mhm... Since I don't have anything to do, I decided to look around. Little Star, how much are you planning to give to the couple?

Not Your Little Star: Give... what?

Luna: Money, of course! You do know that when you attend a wedding, you have to gift the newlywed some red packets, right?

The corner of her lips started to twitch. Song Xing Xing had never thought that she will have to spend some money to look at this wedding ceremony.

Not Your Little Star: How much are you planning to give?

Luna: The cheapest package. Eighty-eight ingots should be enough for the couple. Anyway, there are a lot of players who are attending this wedding. They should not mind if I give them the cheapest package.

Song Xing Xing thought that it would be better if she followed Luna's lead. Anyway, she did not have a lot of money with her.

Luna: Little Star, since you're here, you should attend this event until the end. There's going to be some activities and we might win something from the ceremony. I attended a ceremony a while ago and won some ingots through some lucky draws.

Hearing that she could win some prize, Song Xing Xing decided to stay until the end.

Luna: Little Star, have you decided on your partner yet?

Her question made her think of the awkward situation she was in. Her heart already had an answer whether she wanted to team up with Lu Xun or Huo Yun Chen. But Song Xing Xing thought that it would be better if she talked to both men first.

Luna: Ah, I should not have asked this question. I remember that it was not too long ago that you have shown off your relationship with your boyfriend. Broadcasting your love across all servers. Little Star, you are really bold! Fortunately, I was not online or else, I would join others to beat you up.

Song Xing Xing recalled the time she had broadcast her feelings to Lu Xun to everyone in the game and her cheek grew red.

She did not know when did she have such courage to pull such a move.

Fortunately, other than Huo Yun Chen, she did not know the people in the game in real life. Or else, she would be too embarrassed to see anyone.

The wedding finally began and the bride appeared in their new costume.

Song Xing Xing watched the ceremony with jealousy. Everything was so beautiful. Most important thing was that the pair received a lot of ingots for their wedding. The collected red-packets on the top of the screen continued to increase. 

As she watched the beautiful ceremony, Song  Xing Xing had the urge to get married as well...
