Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

Jiang was absolutely certain that his parents were not here, which meant that the person in front of him was an imposter.

Even though it was fake, it still made his heart race.

Looking at those two familiar smiling faces that made his soul tremble, he felt a great joy.

Guo Wanxing, standing next to her, could vaguely see her parents' hands tightening slightly through the red cover.

Seeing this, the matchmaker quickly nudged Jiang Shi and whispered, "Groom, are you out of your mind with joy? Hurry up and lead the bride to the wedding ceremony!"

Jiang Shi snapped out of his daze, mechanically moved his feet, and pulled Guo Wanxing to the front of the hall.

Shifting my gaze from my "own parents'" faces, I caught a glimpse of a middle-aged couple, equally kind-looking and well-dressed, sitting on the chair to my right.

They must be "Guo Wanxing's parents".

The faces of these "parents" were unfamiliar to him, but their joy at "marrying off their daughter" was flawless.

The emcee cleared his throat, drew out the melody, and sang loudly:

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

"Bowing to Heaven and Earth"

Jiang Shi didn't want to turn around, but found that his body was out of control, so he gave up resisting.

He bowed towards the door.

Guo Wanxing, standing beside him, bowed respectfully...

"Bowing to the parents a second time!"

The two turned around and bowed deeply to the four people at the head of the table.

Jiang Shi lowered his head, but heard his "mother's" deliberately suppressed, joyful sobs.

There are three more "good..."

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Jiang Shi and Guo Wanxing stood facing each other.

Through the red veil, Jiang Shi could see nothing, but he could feel the gaze directed at him from the other side.

The two slowly bowed and greeted each other.

The moment their heads drew close, he saw strands of pale blue-gold hair falling down.

"The ceremony is complete!"

"Send them to the bridal chamber..."

The emcee's final shout was accompanied by thunderous cheers and blessings from the guests.

And even more enthusiastic sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers.

The matchmaker and maids swarmed around the newlyweds, all smiles, and led them toward the bridal chamber in the backyard.

Jiang Shi was practically being pushed forward; it was all fake, all fake.

That's all he could tell himself...

By the time all the activities were completed, it was already evening.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles flickered, filling the room with a sweet fragrance.

The bright red wedding quilt, along with the dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds scattered on the bed, symbolize "early birth of a son."

Everything was arranged to resemble the traditional Chinese wedding bridal chamber, creating a festive atmosphere.

Jiang was very drunk.

His face was flushed, his eyes were unfocused and glazed, and his hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly.

This was the first time he had ever drunk so much alcohol, both in the loop and in reality.

Alcohol may not be able to truly numb oneself, but it can at least make one a little less sensitive.

He staggered to his feet, his steps unsteady as he walked to the edge of the bed.

The bride, wearing a red veil, sat upright with her hands on her knees.

I was a little restless.

Jiang Shi glanced at it once, shook his head, chuckled, and turned to sit down at the table.

He picked up another jug ​​of wine and started drinking it straight down his throat.

The spicy liquor burned my throat.

After a long while, Jiang Shi finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the table.

My eyelids closed, my breathing became heavy, and I was about to pass out drunk like this.

"Jiang Shi, lift the red veil..."

Guo Wanxing urged.

Through the limited view provided by the veil, I could see Jiang Shi from the moment he entered until now, except for that first glance.

He just kept drinking, his eyes vacant, as if the wedding in front of him and the woman sitting on the bed had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, she was overwhelmed by the wedding ceremony and the shock of seeing her "parents".

She didn't want to bother trying to figure out if Jiang Shi was real or fake anymore; it was too tiring and too disheartening.

She just wanted to finish the process quickly, to get rid of this cumbersome veil, and then be killed without complaint.

This was a scene she had fantasized about countless times, but that could only happen when she actually saw Jiang.

But now, being in that situation, she only felt incredibly ironic.

Startled by the sound, Jiang Shi barely managed to raise his head.

He looked towards the bed through his blurry, drunken eyes, swayed as he stood up, his steps faltering, and he almost tripped over himself.

Step by step, she stumbled to the bedside, reached out her hand, and touched the red silk veil.

Hesitating for half a second, she lifted the veil, and the red veil fluttered down.

In the candlelight, Guo Wanxing's face was revealed.

The pearls and jade of her phoenix crown accentuated her stunning beauty, her lips were adorned with lip rouge, and her fiery wedding dress made her snow-white skin appear even more radiant.

She is stunningly beautiful tonight.

Jiang Shi looked at the stunningly beautiful face so close to his face, his eyes momentarily captivated.

He revealed a drunken smile that was even uglier than a grimace.

"Evening Star, you look so beautiful tonight..."

He reached out to touch her cheek, but his hand fell limply halfway down. "But, you're not her..."

After saying that, afraid that even a second glance would tempt her, she turned around and returned to the table.

He grabbed the half-empty jug of wine from the table and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

Not me? You are you?

Guo Wanxing wondered to herself, but she was also shocked by the sight of the flowers.

I dare not delve too deeply into the meaning behind those words.

"Jiang Shi, is that you?"

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Shi laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, his shoulders shaking and wine spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't you find what you're saying ridiculous? It's me, and it's not me. So what if it's me? So what if it's not me? What's the point?"

He slammed the wine jug on the table, his eyes unfocused as he stared at the flickering candlelight, muttering, "Hurry..."

After saying that, he picked up the wine jug again and started gulping it down.

"No drinking!"

Guo Wanxing stood up, rushed over in a few steps, and snatched the wine pot from his hand.

He gripped the wine flask tightly, his chest heaving, staring intently at Jiang Shi.

"Look at me, Jiang Shi, look at me!"

She always felt that Jiang Shi in front of her was different.

I can't quite put my finger on what's different, but the feeling is just very different.

Jiang Shi was annoyed that his wine had been taken away, and reached out to snatch it back:

"Give me back my wine, give it back..."

"No!"

Guo Wanxing hid the wine jug behind her back and stood in front of him.

"Let's make things clear first!"

"Say what? What should I say?"

Jiang Shi leaned on the table, squinting at her. "Go on, go on..."

Guo Wanxing took a deep breath, stared into his eyes, and asked, word by word:

"Why didn't you want me? Why did you cheat on me? And why did you have that kind of relationship with my sister?"

"What?!"

Jiang Shi sobered up considerably after hearing this, staring wide-eyed at Guo Wanxing. "Wait, what are you up to now?"

He shook his head vigorously, but then lay down again, waving his hand, "Oh well, whatever you want to act, I'll play along..."

Guo Wanxing had witnessed that moment, and her heart was pounding.

Composing himself, he continued, "Jiang Shi, do you think I'm fake, or real?"

Jiang Shi didn't hesitate: "It's fake."

"What if it's true?"

"impossible!"

"Alright, you can go die now."

"Ready? Kill them quickly."

Jiang Shi lay slumped on the table, unmoved, not even lifting his eyelids.

Guo Wanxing stood still, watching Jiang Shi, who was slumped over the table, indifferent to life and death.

Kill him?

easy.

Just like it has been done countless times in the previous loop.

But what happens after you kill them?

Will it lead to the next cycle?

Continue to wallow in the illusions of truth and falsehood until you become numb, until you are completely transformed into a soulless puppet, trapped here forever.

No, this is what she wants.

A woman's intuition told her that the Jiang Shi in front of her, completely drunk, was real.

But reason tells her it's fake.

The clash of these two conflicting thoughts left Guo Wanxing's mind in turmoil.

As I calmed down, I recalled the commonalities in each cycle.

It soon became clear that she and Jiang Shi seemed to be trapped in this cycle.

It starts with disagreements, doubts, disappointment, resentment, then mutual destruction, and finally numbness.

In this cycle, a perception is formed deep within the soul, the subconscious—

fake!

Losing the ability to believe, losing trust in each other, losing self-confidence.

It also stems from a lack of trust in oneself; one would rather believe it's false than believe in oneself.

When everyone becomes numb, no longer able to distinguish, and no longer holding any hope, they may die without even realizing it.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies precisely in this belief, in regaining self-belief. So everything is fake, but the fake contains the real.

At this moment, what you see before you must be real; the only way is to rely on your heart, on yourself, and to believe in yourself…
