Chapter 494 [(*^▽^*)]

They only confirmed their relationship after arriving in Xiushan Village, so how could they possibly have a wedding? Besides, in the real world, they were both only recently adults. Even though Lin Leyou was a little older, it was only by a few months. They were close in age!

But why is the village chief asking this? A wedding... could it be...?

The village chief smiled and said, "Since the wedding hasn't been held yet, how about we hold it in the village?"

Lin Leyou's eyes widened in shock. "Huh?! Now? In the village?"

The village chief said, "Yes, it's been a long time since anyone has come back to the village. Everyone likes you two very much, and knowing that you're together, they all want to prepare a wedding for you!"

"The women in the village are all embroidering wedding dresses for you, and Dazhuang and the others are preparing tables, chairs, and dishes..."

Lin Leyou was somewhat at a loss. He subconsciously looked at Xue Rui, wondering what Xue Rui was thinking.

Xue Rui was also startled by the village chief's words. Both of them were somewhat surprised and confused, and in the midst of more than twenty days of peaceful life, they almost forgot that they were in a dungeon.

It wasn't until Lin Leyou came to her senses that she nodded, "That's fine too. Let's just have some fun together. We can also hold our wedding here."

Xue Rui looked at him, quickly calmed down, and did not object.

After receiving his accurate answer, the village chief nodded and left with a smile. "Alright, it's settled then. Someone will come to ask you to try on your wedding clothes later, so don't forget."

Lin Leyou: "Don't worry, Village Chief!"

After the village chief left, Xue Rui asked with some surprise, "Xiao You, did you really agree?"

Lin Leyou winked at him, "What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

Xue Rui shook his head, "No, I don't have any objections, it's just that I feel..."

Lin Leyou said, "I know, I understand. You think it's too sudden, but it's okay. Anyway, we'll still have a wedding when we go abroad. How about we have a Chinese-style wedding here and a Western-style wedding elsewhere?"

Xue Rui, "Once we're outside..."

Lin Leyou suddenly remembered that Xue Rui didn't know her identity. "I mean, if there's a chance..."

Xue Rui, “…”

Lin Leyou said, "I don't know when such an opportunity will come again. Now that we have the chance to hold a wedding, let's seize this opportunity. What do you think?"

Xue Rui nodded, "I also want to have a wedding, but... after the wedding, we need to... you know what? Like, after we get married, we'll all..."

Lin Leyou's eye twitched. "Well... should we come back after we get to the apartment complex?"

Xue Rui thought of Lin Leyou's apartment in Xingfu Community, then nodded, "Okay, let's go there. Speaking of which... I haven't studied it yet."

Lin Leyou's eyes twitched. In fact, he had never learned it. In his previous life, he was so busy that he never even thought about or watched short videos, let alone found a wife.

He roughly knew how to do it, but that was with women. With men... he knew nothing, but the process should be similar, right?

Forget it, he should go and learn how. He can search for some short videos and watch them. What if they end up in bed and neither of them knows what to do, just sitting there staring at each other all night?

Lin Leyou felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she racked her brains and thought of something, "Do you think our chance to complete the mission will be after the wedding?"

Xue Rui also came to his senses, "The villagers who were killed before have all returned, so... throwing living people into the thief's pit really can help these villagers revive, right?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "That's what I think, and I guess that's really the case. Maybe this wedding is their gift to us before they leave. After the wedding, it will be time for us to go."

Xue Rui said, "I'd like to stay a little longer."

After leaving the instance, he would have to wait another day to see Lin Leyou again. Although it was only one day, every minute and second was hard to endure for him in the real world without Lin Leyou.

Lin Leyou blinked. "You... I'm no different."

Even if he could see Xue Rui in the real world, he could only secretly glance at him in order to keep his identity from being exposed, and could not get close or reveal himself.

Xue Rui looked at the old house in front of him and said, "It's really nice. I never dared to dream of living like this before. By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Lin Leyou smiled and stood beside him, saying, "Anything is fine with me, as long as we make it together."

After greeting Lin Leyou and his group, the villagers stopped hiding their secrets and soon all the houses in the village were covered with red double happiness characters, even the big trees and stones at the village entrance were covered.

Every household hung red lanterns, and of course, their house was decorated with red inside and out, especially in the bedroom, with bright red bedding and a red wedding quilt with mandarin ducks playing in the water, which was really dazzling.

Of course, the two of them couldn't offer any opinions on these matters right now, as they were too busy taking care of themselves, since several older women in the village were now asking them to try on wedding dresses.

The bright red wedding dress in front of me was embroidered with many beautiful patterns, especially the magnificent golden dragon embroidery, which was very eye-catching. There were also some mysterious black lines on the hem and wide cuffs, which looked somewhat familiar.

"How do you think? Doesn't this wedding dress suit you perfectly?"

Lin Leyou glanced at Xue Rui. Their wedding attire wasn't exactly the same, but rather a matching set. The two of them standing together looked very well-matched.

Lin Leyou: "We're a perfect match, thank you, sister!"

They all covered their mouths and laughed, "No need to thank us! As long as you like it, that proves our efforts weren't in vain! By the way, we picked an auspicious day, just three days from now, what do you think?"

Lin Leyou said with a smile, "We don't know anything about this, so we'll leave it to the older sisters."

"No problem, no problem!" she assured, patting her chest. "Don't worry, I was the one who brought together so many couples in the village back then. Choosing an auspicious date is definitely my specialty!"

And so, the date for Lin Leyou and Xue Rui's wedding was set. The two of them took their wedding clothes back to their residence and then looked at the quilt spread out on the bed.

Xue Rui blinked, then rubbed his eyes. They were so red that his vision was blurry. "Xiao You?"

Lin Leyou: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Xue Rui said, "Let's go out first and come back to sleep tonight."

Although this is their wedding room, they will still be staying here for the first few days of the wedding. Even though the room is already decorated, there's nothing they can do about it; they can only try their best not to mess it up.

Lin Leyou also felt that the sea of ​​red was a bit...dazzling. "Let's go, let's get out of here first."

Three days is neither a long nor a short time, and the wedding day arrived quickly. Because many steps were simplified, the whole process seemed somewhat casual.

However, because Lin Leyou is a descendant of Xiushan Village while Xue Rui is from outside, Xue Rui had to wait outside the village when the wedding was held, while Lin Leyou started from the house where they had lived for so long, walked all the way to the village entrance, and then took Xue Rui's hand and walked all the way to their residence.

Along the way, many villagers were banging drums and cheering non-stop, which looked very lively. Being there, it was indeed very lively and festive, but if you looked at it from a distance or from another perspective...

Inside the dilapidated village, shrouded in dark, eerie energy, a group of terrifying-looking ghosts, beating drums and gongs with glee, slowly led two men dressed in red wedding attire into the village.

If any players saw this, they might think it was a ghost marriage between two dead people!

Lin Leyou held Xue Rui's hand and slowly walked back. They walked step by step to the flat ground in front of their residence, which was paved with large blue bricks. The village chief and villagers crowded around them, looking at them with smiles on their faces.

Several of the more mischievous ones even winked at Lin Leyou after noticing his gaze.

Lin Leyou smiled slightly and looked at the village chief standing at the front, "Village Chief..."

The village chief nodded. "Very well, the auspicious time has arrived, let's begin the wedding ceremony!"

Da Zhuang, who was standing next to the village chief, took a step forward and shouted, "First bow to heaven and earth!"

That sound was deafening!

However, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui did not rub their ears. Instead, they slowly turned around and looked at the wide open space behind them. Although the sky was gloomy and the ground was very dark, neither of them cared.

They bowed deeply forward, then turned to look at the village chief of the former Yuyan Wufang village.

Actually, calling them village chiefs isn't quite right. Directly in front of them was a table with some somewhat old-looking memorial tablets on it, presumably the ancestors of Xiushan Village, though it was unclear which one they were.

The village chief said, "These memorial tablets belong to the ancestors of the generation that founded Xiushan Village. They are more than qualified to be your ancestral tablets, so don't overthink it."

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui nodded silently; of course, they had no objections.

Seeing this, Dazhuang shouted again, "Bowing to our parents!"

Lin Leyou and his companion bowed deeply once more. As they rose, what awaited them was...

Even an honest man like Dazhuang couldn't help but smile and shouted once more, "Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui were a little embarrassed this time. This was a husband and wife bowing to each other... who was the husband and who was the wife?

They turned to face each other, looking at each other without arguing. They would discuss the matter later that night when they returned to their rooms.

They looked at each other and slowly, very slowly, bowed down, completing this final bow.

"The ceremony is complete!!"

Da Zhuang's last two words were so loud that they could be heard even on the other side of the mountain.

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui straightened up and looked at each other. They weren't sure if it was just their imagination, but they felt as if something had changed at that moment.
