Chapter 17: Covering Her Head and Leaving for Marriage

  Besides, I don't agree with it, what can I do? Now I want to escape, but I also can't escape.

  While I was in a melancholy mood, Wang's wife had already pulled up my hand and covered me with the red veil without saying a word. She and Su Yu stood on either side of me and said: "Su Er, this time you cannot be willful, let's get into the sedan chair!"

  The heavy phoenix coronet weighed on my head, making me breathless. I was dazed and supported by them, the sound of silk and bamboo instruments started, I only felt my ears buzzing, no thoughts, no strength to resist.

  It wasn't until I got into the sedan chair and it was lifted up that I came to.

  I quietly lifted the red sedan chair's window curtain, and all around were people crowding to watch the excitement, heads packed together. I wanted to escape but couldn't, yet didn't have the courage, and also seemed reluctant. Just like that, in the silence, I already heard the matchmaker scattering candies and saying that the Song family was almost here.

  My heart is pounding, thinking that it shouldn't be like this, it's too comfortable. At least at this moment, someone should come and stir up some trouble, this doesn't seem like something that should happen when crossing over.

  Once again the curtain was lifted, and I hoped to make a thorough inspection. Suddenly, in the crowd, I caught sight of a familiar figure. He stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens - it was Yi Qian Xun, it was Yi Qian Xun!

  Did he come to save me? Did he come to save me?

  I suddenly lifted the lid, flashing my eyes to look at that faint cyan figure. The figure was tall and sturdy, but like a bay of calm water. I covered my mouth, almost choking with emotion.

  Chihiro, Chihiro! I suddenly remembered a poem: Searching for him in the crowd of thousands, turning back to look, and he's standing there in the dim light. Chihiro, hurry up and save me!

  His gaze swept casually and landed on me in this direction, with a sea of people between us, but my heart had already flown to his side.

  Chihiro, look at me, I'm in the palanquin, I'm suffering from the scorching heat.

  He had called out thousands of times, but Chihiro was just blindly scanning the surroundings, as if the crowd had blocked his way and he was desperately searching. After a long wait, just when I was about to give up hope, his gaze lazily turned towards me, neither high nor low.
