At this time, Zu Qi no longer cared about what was happening on the Internet. The wedding was approaching, and all preparations had been made very thoroughly, but he still felt inexplicably nervous.
Sometimes he even woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall asleep again.
The day before the wedding, Zu Qi couldn’t sleep the whole night. He could not help tossing and turning quietly but unexpectedly woke up Xue Jue who was already asleep due to exhaustion.
Xue Jue reached out and pulled Zu Qi into his arms, kissed him on the hair, his voice still revealing a hoarseness from not being fully awake: “Insomnia?”
“Hmm…” Zu Qi nuzzled in Xue Jue’s arms like a kitten and answered muffledly, “I’m a little nervous.”
Hearing Zu Qi’s words, Xue Jue chuckled and immediately became much more sober. He kissed Zu Qi’s forehead and whispered, “We are an old married couple, just treat it as an ordinary dinner and then going on stage to perform a show.”
Zu Qi was stunned and immediately became angry at Xue Jue’s description. He glared at Xue Jue in the pitch-black environment, and when he realized that the other party couldn’t see his expression clearly, he pinched the flesh on Xue Jue’s waist.
“How could you describe our wedding like that? Do you think it’s just a formality?”
Xue Jue took a breath in pain and quickly hugged Zu Qi tighter. He took the opportunity to grab his restless hand and said in a pleading tone: “Okay, okay, this is my first time getting married and I don’t know much about it.”
“…” Zu Qi leaned in Xue Jue’s arms and said coldly, “Do you want to get married a second time?”
Xue Jue replied reflexively: “No, having you in my life is enough.”
His desire to survive was so strong that Zu Qi couldn’t help laughing. So he restrained his serious expression, groped to hold Xue Jue’s face with both hands, and then offered his lips to him.
Then, both of them suffered from insomnia.
The result of a night of restlessness was that they failed to wake up on time the next day, until Weng Yuxiang knocked on the door outside, and the two people wrapped in the quilt were suddenly awakened.
When they looked at the time, it was already eight o’clock in the morning.
Zu Qi and Xue Jue hurriedly got up, dressed and washed, and came to the living room, where they found that the costume designers, makeup artists, and staff from the wedding company were all in place, eagerly waiting for them.
But everyone dared not say anything in front of Xue Jue and just kept busy with their work.
The suits worn during the ceremony were specially designed and customized by Xue Jue. The two suits were basically the same, but a closer look revealed many different details, and the sizes were just right.
After changing his clothes, Zu Qi sat in the bedroom and let the makeup artist tinker with his face and hairstyle.
His facial features and skin did not require much modification, and he often went straight to shooting even when filming, so the makeup artist only needed to apply a very light layer of foundation on Zu Qi and modify his eyebrows, he instead spent more time on designing his hairstyle.
Originally, the makeup artist wanted to create a new look, but Zu Qi was a little impatient, so he just asked the makeup artist to do a little bit of styling.
Applying too much hairspray would make you look very greasy. Fresh and natural short hair looked better.
In less than half an hour, Zu Qi had finished getting ready. The staff from the wedding company asked Zu Qi to wait in the bedroom for a while, as there were many paparazzi waiting outside the gate of the Xue family, and they had to go and say hello to them to avoid causing traffic congestion.
Zu Qi was so bored that he sat on the bedside playing with his mobile phone. As soon as he opened Weibo, he heard a loud cry of a child, followed by the sound of Weng Yuxiang walking hurriedly with Xue Wanwan in her arms.
“Xiao Qi…” Weng Yuxiang was wearing a retro red cheongsam, with her pure black hair neatly tied behind her head, revealing her beautiful and gentle face. But at this moment, she shrugged and said helplessly, “Wanwan is crying again, I really can’t coax him…”
Since Zu Qi returned home, Xue Wanwan started to stick to him again. Sometimes he would cry loudly when he couldn’t see him, which also made Weng Yuxiang jealous.
Zu Qi quickly put down his phone and hugged Xue Wanwan. A few seconds later, the little guy immediately stopped crying. While his chubby little hand pulled Zu Qi’s clothes and he laughed happily.
Zu Qi was both angry and amused when he saw this, and gently pinched Xue Wanwan’s nose: “What a scheming ghost.”
Facts proved that Xue Wanwan was really a scheming ghost. He was quite quiet yesterday, but on such an important day today, he started to make a fuss. He insisted that Zu Qi hold him, and once he left Zu Qi’s arms, he started to howl at the top of his lungs.
In desperation, Zu Qi had to carry the little guy into the wedding car.
Xue Jue had already set out in advance and was waiting in the church where the ceremony was to be held. He finally waited for the wedding car to arrive. He walked over and opened the door, only to see Zu Qi getting out of the car holding the babbling Xue Wanwan.
“…” Xue Jue’s smile froze on his face instantly. He stared at Xue Wanwan in disbelief for a long time. Finally, he asked with gritted teeth, “Why is he here?”
Zu Qi was also extremely helpless: “I can’t help it. If I don’t hold him, he will cry.”
Xue Jue, who always doted on his son, was cold-blooded for once: “Then let him cry. You really spoil him.”
Zu Qi shrugged and sighed.
Xue Jue looked coldly at Xue Wanwan who had been laughing for a long time, and pinched the little guy’s chubby cheeks helplessly, and said half lovingly and half reproachfully: “Little light bulb, we will settle this account when you grow up.”
Some artists in the circle only invited relatives and friends to their wedding, and it was a completely closed wedding where no media reporters were allowed to enter. However, despite this, there were still paparazzi who racked their brains to broadcast or secretly take pictures of the wedding scene.
As early as when Xue Jue announced his upcoming wedding, Zu Qi was bombarded with questions from reporters about the wedding.
Zu Qi knew he couldn’t escape, so he simply asked Duan Kai to send invitations to many well-known media reporters. He also invited two well-known hosts in the name of Xue Jue to act as emcees and conduct a live broadcast.
This day was very lively both on site and online.
What made everyone laugh was that Zu Qi was actually holding their son when he entered the venue. The little guy was not dressed up specially but was wearing ordinary baby clothes and a silly little bunny children’s hat on his head.
For a moment, the scene burst into laughter, and the live screen was filled with comments such as “Hahaha” and “So cute”.
Only Xue Wanwan, the little person involved, was unaware of what was happening. He looked around curiously with his bright eyes. Seeing everyone laughing so happily, he also grinned and waved his two little hands constantly.
Fortunately, during the ceremony, Weng Yuxiang forcibly took Xue Wanwan away.
The sunlight outside the church was very bright, and rays of sunlight came in through the glass windows engraved with patterns of various colors, seeming to dye the surrounding air colorfully.
The pastor read a long string of lines, but Zu Qi didn’t listen carefully. He just raised his chin slightly and stared at Xue Jue intently.
Xue Jue bathed in the sun was so handsome that he didn’t look like a real person. His thick long eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a faint shadow on his skin. He lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on Zu Qi’s face, so soft that it seemed as if it could melt into the warm sunlight around him.
“Are you willing?”
Zu Qi heard the pastor ask him.
He paused, and somehow, at this moment, he suddenly choked up a little.
“I do.” His voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke every word clearly.
Xue Jue’s eyes moved slightly, and without waiting for the pastor to ask, he whispered “I do too”, then held Zu Qi’s face and lowered his head to kiss his lips.
There was warm applause from below.
Zu Qi saw from his peripheral vision that there were his three assistants sitting below: there were also Heng Jingchen, Tang Yukuan, Duan Kai and Xiao Dengzi, as well as the crew of “Palace Wall”, Liu Jing and Liu Huishan, and the friends he met on the variety show. Even Yu Meitong and Qiao Yang were sitting below…
Even the four big bosses who had cooperated with the orchard but did not receive an invitation letter came directly. At the back were A Tao, A Shu and the three auspicious treasures who were quietly brought out by Zu Qi…
They all looked at him and Xue Jue.
At this moment, Zu Qi felt like he was falling into the clouds, his body was light and floating, with no solid ground to land on.
He used to regard these people as paper people, but now he had come to his senses and realized that it was these so-called “paper people” that made him feel truly “alive” instead of living like a zombie.
The loneliness before the time travel… the monotonous life between two points before the time travel… all the things before the time travel… were all settled in his memory and gradually became blurred. Only the people sitting in the audience and Xue Jue in front of him were so clear.
At the same time, Zu Qi felt somewhat fortunate that he did not run away when he first crossed over, otherwise he might be living a completely different life now.
And life without Xue Jue would be really boring.
Zu Qi was thinking about a lot of random things, and suddenly he felt a pain on the tip of his tongue and immediately realized that he had been bitten by Xue Jue.
“Pay attention.” Xue Jue said dissatisfiedly, with a smile in his narrowed eyes.
Zu Qi was in a good mood, so he took another sip on Xue Jue’s lips, coughed and said, “I love you.”
Xue Jue nodded solemnly: “Yeah.”
Zu Qi was not satisfied: “That’s it?”
Xue Jue raised his eyebrows: “Otherwise?”
“Shouldn’t you say something at this time?”
Xue Jue deliberately pretended to be stupid, blinked and said, “What should I say?”
“……say you love me.”
“You love Me.”
“…” Zu Qi was so angry that his face was almost blue, and he wished to jump up on the spot and beat Xue Jue violently.
Xue Jue couldn’t help laughing. He then pulled Zu Qi over, kissed him on the ear, and said in a low voice, “I love you… I’m glad to know you again…”
Zu Qi was stunned. He actually understood the implication of Xue Jue’s words in an instant. His eyes and nose turned red in an instant. After a long while, he replied, “Me too.”
