The process of the wedding was that Qi Jingyao had to “visit the bride’s home” with his groomsmen, propose to Han Lele, then take them out and serve tea to both parents.
Yu Antong is considered a member of Han Lele’s groomsmen group, so he has to act separately from Xing Lixuan.
He and Han Lele’s other groomsmen friends helped Han Lele “block the door,” while Xing Lixuan wanted to help Qi Jingyao to succeed in his attempt.
“They’re coming, they’re coming!” Someone from Han Lele’s groomsmen group was waiting at the door. As soon as he saw Qi Jingyao and his party, he quickly ran into the room and closed the door, “Everyone, get ready, we must not let them in easily!”
“Hahaha, if they don’t give me enough red envelopes, I won’t open the door!”
While they were talking, Qi Jingyao and the others arrived and knocked on the door, “Lele, open the door!”
The groomsmen inside the door cheered, “If you want to pick him up, you must give a red envelope!”
Qi Jingyao was very cunning. “You open the door first. If you don’t open the door, how can I give you a red envelope?”
“Put it in through the crack under the door panel.”
Bao Ji, who was one of Qi Jingyao’s groomsmen, deliberately said, “The red envelope is too thick to pass through!”
The gap between the hotel door and the ground was indeed very small. Yu Antong and the others looked at each other and discussed, “How about opening a crack for them?”
“Yes, but you must hold the door so the gap won’t widen. Don’t let them break in.”
There were constant knocks on the door. “Open the door quickly. Do you want the red envelope?”
The doorknob turned, and Qi Jingyao turned around and signaled with his eyes to the groomsmen. When the door opened a crack, before the people inside could speak, Qi Jingyao and the groomsmen seized the opportunity, slammed the door and rushed in.
The groomsmen in the room did not expect them to break through the defense line so easily. Before they could react, Qi Jingyao and the groomsmen swarmed in.
“Red envelopes, red envelopes! Red envelopes are being given out!” Bao Ji took a lot of red envelopes and stuffed them into the hands of the people in the room, leaving them completely powerless to resist.
Everyone was laughing, pushing, and making a mess, and the scene was very lively.
Qi Jingyao took advantage of the chaos to break through the defense line, ran straight to Han Lele who was hiding behind, hugged him, and proposed to him, “Lele, will you marry me?”
“Lele, you can’t agree to him so easily.” After the groomsmen received the red envelopes, they still had to make things difficult for Qi Jingyao. After all, everything they had prepared before would have to be used. “You have to answer ten questions correctly before we, I mean, Lele can agree to you. “
Qi Jingyao kissed Han Lele first, and then said with a smile, “Okay, okay, you ask.”
“When is Lele’s birthday? His Lunar calendar birthday, that is!”
“His birthday is the eighteenth day of the second month, so in the lunar calendar…” Qi Jingyao blurted out first, then hesitated, and then confirmed, “The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.”
The groomsmen asked Han Lele, “Lele, is that right.”
Han Lele nodded, pleasantly surprised. He didn’t expect Qi Jingyao to actually know his birthday on the lunar calendar.
“How did you know?” Han Lele asked him.
Qi Jingyao smiled proudly. “I remember everything about you.”
“Where did you first meet? On what day and what time did you meet?”
“The first time we met was…”
The groomsmen frequently made strange moves, and Qi Jingyao tried his best to snatch Han Lele out.
After serving tea to their parents, the two went to the outdoor wedding banquet near noon.
The seats for guests on the clean and flat lawn have already been arranged neatly. The seats are divided into left and right sides, with a road open in the middle.
Both sides of the road were filled with bouquets of pale pink and light blue flowers, extending all the way to the beautiful and majestic flower arch in front.
The guests were seated, and a pair of beautiful little flower girls walked to the flower path in the middle carrying a small basket, scattering petals with unsteady steps.
Qi Jingyao and Han Lele held hands and followed the little flower girls, walking step by step along the flower path towards the ceremony stage.
On the stage, the two people read their vows of love, exchanged rings, and couldn’t help but hug and kiss each other.
The guests cheered and applauded to express their blessings to the newlyweds.
Yu Antong’s eyes were slightly envious. Ah, it was so good and so romantic. THen, he remembered about his own wedding back then…
Damn, he wants to beat Lixuan to death!
Although he had told Xing Lixuan before that there was no need to propose to him, marriage was a major event in life, after all. When he thought of his casual marriage to Xing Lixuan, he couldn’t help but feel a touch of regret.
Xing Lixuan noticed Yu Antong’s eyes and shook his hand without saying anything.
After the wedding banquet, some of the elders took a flight to leave, while others went back to the hotel to rest temporarily. In the evening, the young people had a bonfire party on the beach.
After returning to the hotel room, Yu Antong first made a video call home to see if Xiao Nian was not crying.
At home, Xiao Nian happened to just wake up. When Mrs. Xing received the video call request, she put her phone in front of Xiao Nian.
As soon as the call got through, Yu Antong saw Xiao Nian’s chubby face taking up the entire phone screen.
‘He’s so cute, I really want to hold it and kiss it!’
“Ah!” Little Fatty saw his little daddy as soon as he opened his eyes. He was so happy that he reached out to grab his phone.
Yu Antong said, “It’s daddy! Xiao Nian, call ‘Daddy’!”
Xiao Nian shouted, “Baba!”
“Hey, Xiao Nian is great!” Yu Antong praised his son excitedly, “Why is Xiao Nian so smart? He’s truly the son I birthed, ah. He is as smart as his little daddy. He is a little genius.”
Xing Lixuan laughed and praised his son for not forgetting to help Yu Antong praise himself.
“Why are you laughing!” Yu Antong hit him, “Hurry up and say hello to your son.”
When Xiao Nian saw Xing Lixuan: “Bah!”
The little chubby baby has just learned this word and screamed it at everyone he saw. This time Xing Lixuan finally enjoys the treatment of a biological father.
He said a few words to his son, and when he saw that the little boy still wanted to play with Yu Antong, he stepped away from the camera and let Yu Antong coax him to play.
Yu Antong played with Xiao Nian for a while, and waited until it was time for him to drink milk before hanging up. He hung up the phone and found that Xing Lixuan was not in the room, and he went out at some point.
Yu Antong recalled that when he was playing with Xiao Nian just now, Xing Lixuan seemed to have told him that Bao Ji was looking for him and he would have to go out for a while.
He just focused on coaxing Xiao Nian, and didn’t ask Xing Lixuan why Bao Ji wanted him.
He didn’t know how long the bonfire party would last in the evening. He and Xing Lixuan had an exhausting time last night, and now they were feeling tired. Yu Antong planned to take a nap first to avoid not having enough fun at night.
Before going to bed, he sent a text message to Xing Lixuan.
<Yu Antong>: I’m going to take a nap. When will you come back? When you come back, please keep your voice down and don’t disturb me (Cat wipes neck and threatens.jpg)
Without waiting for Xing Lixuan’s reply, Yu Antong’s eyelids twitched as he felt so sleepy. Slowly, the dreamland dragged him, and his cell phone fell from his hand to the bed.
—
Bao Ji, Wei Zhejun, and his other friends were called together. Seeing that Xing Lixuan specially gathered them together, they thought something big was going on.
After listening to Xing Lixuan’s request, they all sighed, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lao Xing… we never thought you would be here today.”
“I still remember Lao Xing’s stinky face when he got married. You were so cold-hearted to him back then. You must regret it now!”
Xing Lixuan looked at his brothers who were laughing at him. With a calm, wooden face, he said, “Have you laughed enough?”
“Haha…” Bao Ji’s joyful laughter was frozen by Xing Lixuan, “Is this your attitude of asking for help?”
Xing Lixuan: “I remember you didn’t let your dad know about what happened last month and a half.”
Gah! So insidious!
Bao Ji immediately changed his mind, “Don’t worry, your dearest brother will help you.”
The last rays of the sun had already set, and the sky darkened into a plethora of oranges and purples.
It was dark outside, and even darker inside the room.
When Yu Antong woke up and rubbed his eyes, all he could see was darkness. He sat up with a jolt.
He picked up his phone and checked the time. He had slept for so long?!
He originally thought that Xing Lixuan would be back soon, so he didn’t think about setting the alarm clock before going to bed. He actually fell asleep for several hours.
“Husband?” Yu Antong tried to shout, but the room was silent and no one responded.
“He hasn’t come back yet?” Yu Antong muttered. He turned on the light in the room, washed his face, and then made a video call request to Xing Lixuan.
As soon as he dialed the number, he heard the door opening outside. He took his cell phone and went out to check.
It’s Xing Lixuan who’s back.
“Just woke up?” Xing Lixuan saw that his hair was messy and smoothed it down for him.
“Yeah.” Yu Antong threw the phone aside and put on his slippers before combing his hair properly. “What does Bao Ji want from you? Why did you come back after being away for so long?”
Xing Lixuan replied, “There was something going on at the company. I held a video conference outside. I was afraid of disturbing you to sleep, so I didn’t come back.”
“I see,” Yu Antong didn’t think much. He changed his clothes, packed up and continued, “The bonfire party should have started. Let’s go there quickly.”
“Mn, let’s go.” Xing Lixuan took his hand and went downstairs towards the pink beach.
“Don’t you need to take a sightseeing bus to go there? Do you know the place?” Yu Antong asked in disbelief.
As soon as they left the hotel, the cool sea breeze blew on his face, Yu Antong shook Xing Lixuan’s arm, bouncing around like a child.
Xing Lixuan’s only reply was: “I know.”
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the beach. Unlike the hustle and bustle they imagined, there was no one on the beach except for them, and it was so quiet that they could clearly hear the lapping of the waves.
“Are you sure this is here? Are we in the wrong place?” Yu Antong looked at the scene in front of him and asked doubtfully.
“Why didn’t you say…” Without hearing Xing Lixuan’s response, Yu Antong turned to look at him. As soon as he turned his head, the unfinished words were completely stuck inside his throat.
Countless small floor lamps on the beach behind him lit up, emitting a warm yellow light, reflecting the pink beach in a dreamy rose gold color.
Looking around, the small floor lamps are connected one by one, like the bright stars in the sky falling into the mortal world. It was dreamy, unreal, as if Yu Antong had been transported into a fantasy land.
At the same time, Xing Lixuan conjured a bouquet of roses from nowhere and held a ring in his other hand.
The crescent moon rises in the deep blue sky, its gentle light shines down, intersecting with the lights on the ground, mesmerizing and ethereal.
The tall man knelt on one knee and looked at Yu Antong, his eyes full of affection. “Baby, I love you. Will you marry me?”
Yu Antong was so moved by the surprise that he reached out to Xing Lixuan with tears in his eyes.
“I do,” he vowed.
Friends who were hiding somewhere came out in droves, cheering and applauding.
“Go! Kiss him!”
“God, I’m so jealous!”
“Going to two weddings in one day, what a single dog abuse this is! I want a partner too!”
“Kiss him quickly! Kiss him quickly!”
Yu Antong was so moved that he almost cried, but he was coaxed by his friends who showed up. Instead, he almost burst into laughter at their demands.
Xing Lixuan put the ring on Yu Antong’s hand, stood up, and with everyone’s blessings and laughter, he put his arms around Yu Antong’s waist and kissed him…
The sea breeze blew away the last trace of regret, leaving only infinite joy.
