[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

"Daisy Brown, would you like this man to be your husband and marry him? Love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and be faithful to him forever, in sickness or health, or for any other reason, End of life?"

The blond woman wearing a white wedding dress and standing in front of the priest showed a beautiful smile. She looked back at her parents who were sitting in the first row of seats and looked at her with a smile, and a group of relatives and friends who came with blessings. Everything gave her an unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction, and endless courage to face the unknown future.

Her gaze finally returned to the tall and straight man standing in front of her, her clear blue eyes looked at the man intently and affectionately, not only to the man and the guests sitting here, but also to the God she believed in,

"I am willing."

The priest holding the Bible then looked at the black-haired man in black dress in front of him,

"Neil White, would you like this woman to be your wife and betrothed to her? To love her, to care for her, to accept her, and to be faithful to her forever and ever, in sickness or health, or for any other reason? "

Neil smiled and looked at the woman in front of him. His black eyes did not look cold and hard. Under the gaze of the blonde woman, those eyes were as soft as ice under the warm sun.

"I..."

The subsequent reply was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Wait a moment!"

All eyes in the church were attracted by the rude guest.The man was dressed in a black dress, and the whole body was a little messy. He seemed to be in a hurry. He was standing between the door that he had just pushed open, his breathing was a little short, and he was staring at the black-haired man over there.

Neil was stunned for a moment, the appearance of that person was beyond his expectation, but he restrained his subconscious frown, and the smile soon returned to his face,

"Will, you're late again," he joked with a natural smile, "sit down, I'm already nervous enough about this wedding in front of my beautiful bride."

As a result, the atmosphere in the church eased, and the guests laughed in good faith.

But it seemed that the curly-haired man named Will took a while to hear this sentence clearly, and he looked even more dazed than the guests present just now.For a moment, as if all his strength had been drained, he murmured and looked at the black-haired man at the end of the aisle.

It was as if he was wearing armor when he came, but was easily broken by the opponent's blow.The man's expression gradually changed from complex and incomprehensible to others, as if he had been punched in the face, or poured a bucket of bitter cold water. His face refused to reveal any information related to his mood at the moment. As if wearing a mask, or his brain has gone blank.

The man didn't make any response to Neil's words, he seemed to have just suddenly realized something thoroughly, which made his steps towards the empty space by the door heavy.

As the wedding continued, the priest asked again,

"Neil White, would you like this woman to be your wife and betrothed to her? To love her, to care for her, to accept her, and to be faithful to her forever and ever, in sickness or health, or for any other reason? "

Neil smiled, the man who broke in did not have the slightest impact on the promise he was about to make, looking at the blonde woman in front of him, he did not hesitate or waver,

"I am willing."

What are you waiting for.

When he knew that Neil was going to marry another person, he had already investigated all of this, so what was he still looking forward to when he was still here?

However, even so, I still want to ask.

Why did everything suddenly become like this.

Will sat alone in the back row with his hands on his head, his soft brown curly hair was grabbed violently, and many memories of being with Neil flashed through his mind, and finally he fixed on the black coin he carefully held in front of Neil. Down, there is a ring on the down, and the light from the ring is so dazzling that Will, who suddenly remembered it, was in a trance.

"Neil, who is this gentleman?" It was the soft voice that finally woke Will up.

In the midst of laughter, this voice still has its unique charm, which makes people catch it at the first time.

Will looked up at the newlyweds standing in front of him. The picture of them standing together was so beautiful, so beautiful that Will felt ironic and terrified.

He had also fantasized about this scene more than once, standing in front of the priest with Neil in a gown, making vows to each other under the blessing of relatives and friends.So he proposed to the person he thought was right when he thought it was right, but the result told him that everything was just a bubble-like illusion.

"Will Graham, a very good professor, I have taken his class, Will, it's been a long time." Will heard Neil say this.

The expression on Will's face could not be called natural in any case, which made him greeted with a hug. This hug instantly brought back the memories that he tried to bury in the past two years, but Neil's expression was so natural Calmly, as if they were really just "long time no see" friends, those days and nights of close contact seemed to be just his own delusion.

Oh, enough, Will told himself, what answer was he expecting.

Will hugged Neil back stiffly, all this made him feel anxious, his hands didn't even dare to stay on Neil's back for a second, and he took the initiative to distance himself, "Long time no see, Neil."

"It's been a lot of hard work to come to this remote town on purpose. It's a pity that you didn't join me." Neil said proudly, but he was easily led by him. He looked sideways at the blond woman beside him, His eyes softened, and he introduced with a slight smile, "This is the love of my life, Daisy."

When Neil pronounced the name, his tone was extremely low and lingering, showing Will his affection without any concealment.Compared with this, the words "the love of my life" are like sharp knives, even making Will feel more bitter than Neil's tone.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Graham, it's great that you can come to our wedding," said Daisy, who had met almost all of Neil's friends in this small town, but Will was different, he represented Daisy. What Xi didn't know came to Neil's past, which made Daisy feel happy from the bottom of her heart, "I don't know how many days Mr. Graham will stay here? If time permits, please don't refuse the party tomorrow night." .”

Will's hands and feet became more and more stiff, and he was almost at a loss for the warm and sincere Daisy.

"Don't worry, my dear, you and Will will have a lot of time to talk later," Neil laughed before Will could answer, "but I don't want the guests to feel left out."

Daisy looked at the guests who were walking towards the banquet hall next door, but she didn't go with Neil, she took the initiative to let go of Neil's arm, with a gentle smile on her face, "You and Will must have been together for a long time. See you, I'll go greet them first."

Will looked at them in silence. When Neil smiled and lowered his head to kiss Daisy, Will couldn't help but look away. When Daisy walked out of the church, he heard Neil say to him,

"Why did you come to this small town?"

Will tried his best to hide the embarrassment on his face, trying to calm down, he looked up at Neil, only to find that his voice became extremely hoarse after speaking,

"Maybe you've heard that a murder happened in the next town, and I'm going there."

Regardless of whether Will's appearance was a coincidence or not, Neil, who has been living in seclusion for many years and has already abandoned everything in the past to start a new life, is already feeling extremely impatient with these hypocritical politeness.

"Then," he said, turning his back on the guests passing through the aisle, completely removing the fake gentleness, revealing a completely indifferent indifference that Will had never seen before, and a feeling of indifference to Will reappearing in his life again. Annoyed, "Hope this is the last time we see each other."

When Neil left more than two years ago, he broke their relationship cleanly. Now, more than two years later, Neil still has not softened or changed his attitude.

He saw Will's expectation and gave the same answer.However, this response made Will feel like falling into an ice cave for an instant.

Will still didn't know what he was expecting.

But this kind of self now looks like a fool.
