Chapter 726 - 361: A Guest Comes from Afar!

Long County, Integrity Square District.

After Lu Cheng and his group overcame the layers of obstacles set up by the bridesmaids and Mu Nanshu's friends, they finally managed to forcefully open the door of the bride's room.

Upon entering, Zhang Tiesheng felt it was not exciting enough, and flexing his muscles, he said, "This door is mine now, don't waste your efforts..."

Just as Lu Cheng was about to approach Mu Nanshu, Xie Yuan'an stopped him: "You need to wait, we have game challenges to go through..."

Hu Cong, Lu Cheng's undergraduate classmate, rushed back from Han City Zhongnan Hospital upon learning Lu Cheng was getting married: "We've already gotten past the door, what other games need to be played, don't let it delay the timing..."

Lu Cheng, holding the bouquet, whispered, "Now my money is yours too, it's all our money, don't let them extort you."

This time, Mu Nanshu didn't help, she laughed and said, "They want to play games, I can't control them."

Lu Cheng nodded, "Xiao Shu, don't forget the customs of Long County, the hardships the groomsmen suffer here must be repaid on the way back."

This indeed is the custom of Long County.

In other places, perhaps the bridesmaids are held in high regard.

But in the customs of Long County, if the bridal party is treated harshly by the bridesmaids, then on the way back, the people called by the groomsmen will make the bridesmaids "play games"!

Sometimes, fights even break out.

In Long County, there's no such thing as the 'invincible' buff for the bride's bridesmaid's team...

Mu Nanshu wielded a fan: "I've told them all, these games are not excessive, I'm not managing it..."

"Blocking the door is divided into literary blocks and martial blocks, think of your own way."

This time, Mu Nanshu chose to stand on the same side as the bridesmaids...

Lu Cheng, helplessly, had to hand the stage back.

However, the bridesmaids found by Mu Nanshu played the games quite elegantly.

First, they composed poems, then sang songs, wrote pledges, and asked Lu Cheng to say "mushy" words.

None were excessive, just particularly awkward to outsiders.

Lu Cheng, as the groom, remembered the main task was to bring Mu Nanshu out of here, losing face a bit was fine.

The poetry was made up hastily, the singing was off-key, the pledge was AI-generated and hand-copied.

As for sweet words, Lu Cheng found them on Douyin...

Once everything was ready, they moved onto the shoe-finding part.

However, Lu Cheng didn't even need to try, he directly found the cool wedding shoes Mu Nanshu had hidden, which left Xie Yuan'an and the other bridesmaids astounded.

They shouted they had been tricked: "Mu Nanshu, you two are too much, you traitor."

"No way, you found the shoes so quickly, I didn't even get the red envelope, it doesn't count."

Mu Nanshu replied, "I've told you all, hide them properly, he wouldn't be able to guess, but you didn't listen."

"I really didn't leak any secrets to him."

Another bridesmaid, Mu Nanshu's cousin with the surname Hou, said: "Sis, you mean to say you and brother-in-law are truly in sync."

And another friend from childhood, she blocked the others aggressively: "I don't care, you definitely leaked, this doesn't count, we need to redo."

"Or, give me a bigger red envelope."

Lu Cheng was blocked, she almost pressed against him, intimidating him from moving forward.

Lu Cheng didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so he considered opening his phone.

However, as Lu Cheng picked up his phone, his father's call came through, without mentioning Lu Cheng's name, he directly asked: "Have you returned yet?"

"Dad, almost, still playing games."

"What's up?" Lu Cheng knew his father specified the time for returning was at 10:20, and now it's just 8:20.

According to Long County's customs, after the bridal party plays games, breakfast is usually arranged.

There's still plenty of time now.

"Here, some rather special people have arrived, your cousin said they're all from out of town."

"It's really difficult to host them..." Lu Nanjia hesitated.

"Out of town?" Lu Cheng was confused, "Where are they from?"

"How old are they?"

If Lu Cheng remembered correctly, he hadn't invited any out-of-town friends.

The only ones considered out-of-town were Zhang Xibei and Ni Xixin, but Zhang Xibei was on the groom's party and Ni Xixin was one of the bridesmaids.

"From Kyoto, from Shanghai, and one said his surname is Lu..." Lu Nanjia said.

Lu Cheng realized the identities of these guests were not simple.

"Okay, Dad, I understand, I'll be back as soon as possible." Lu Cheng replied promptly.

Beside Mu Nanshu, another one of Lu Cheng's classmates, Huang Xin said: "Director Lu, don't try any tricks, this call isn't going to help, if you don't give me a red envelope, I definitely won't let you take Nanshu away..."

But Mu Nanshu noticed Lu Cheng's slightly unusual expression: "What did Dad say on the phone?"

"Professor Lu from Kyoto arrived."

"And it seems he's not alone..." Lu Cheng responded.

Mu Nanshu now understood the significance of Professor Lu's presence, her face slightly changed: "Do you need to quickly return?"

"Not really, we have the specified time, but I should make a call to greet them." Lu Cheng said.

At the wedding, he's the top priority, but this Professor Lu is considered a significant figure for Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng couldn't ignore him.

Huang Xin said: "What are you two whispering about?"
