Although the opera performances these past few days were not a traditional large-scale festival, the excitement surrounding them was comparable to the Lunar New Year for the villagers of Xiliu Village and the surrounding area.
In the village, wealthy families would specially make a new outfit for their children to wear when watching the play; while those who were not well-off would carefully find the best clothes they had with the fewest patches, and solemnly put them on before heading to this grand event.
Xie Yan had been looking forward to this day for a while.
Before dawn, he got up early, like a young man eager to go to an important date, and began to carefully groom himself.
He put on that blue and white striped shirt, the colors of which were perfectly matched, as fresh and natural as blue sky and white clouds.
She paired it with a well-tailored white suit trousers, the straight lines of which exuded a sharp and capable air. On her feet were a pair of newly made camel-colored leather shoes, polished to a gleaming shine; Chaochao had helped her polish these shoes yesterday.
With this elaborate makeover, Xie Yan exuded extraordinary charisma; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could walk the runway.
After tidying himself up, Xie Yan turned around in a cheerful mood and instantly met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
Yu Yuehui had always known that Xie Yan was good-looking. These days, he would occasionally dress up carefully on a whim, making her look radiant and happy almost every day.
But Xie Yan's outfit today still made her stare blankly, her gaze seemingly drawn in and unable to look away.
Xie Yan walked briskly to her, bowed slightly, and asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Wife, is it pretty?"
Yu Yuehui nodded blankly, then blurted out, "Beautiful!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she snapped back to reality, her cheeks instantly turning bright red as if they were on fire.
Oh dear, why did you blurt out what was on your mind!
She was both embarrassed and anxious.
Aaaaaaah! I'm so embarrassed!
She turned around and wanted to run into the house, as if that would allow her to escape this awkward situation.
Xie Yan reacted quickly, grabbing her and teasing her with a doting smile, "Why are you running? I'm your man. Look at your man, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
He moved closer to her, lowering his voice, "Besides, what part of your body haven't I seen?"
Yu Yuehui was both embarrassed and annoyed. She quickly reached out and covered Xie Yan's mouth, scolding him, "Don't talk nonsense, it's broad daylight."
Seeing her shy expression, Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly and continued teasing, "So you mean you can tell me tonight?"
Yu Yuehui was both angry and embarrassed. She pushed Xie Yan away forcefully and ran to change her clothes.
Xie Yan watched his wife run away, his smile growing even gentler, and he chuckled softly.
A moment later, Chaochao, wearing a pink dress, walked out of the house like a cheerful little butterfly.
The little guy's hair has grown quite a bit; the hair on top can now be tied up.
Today, Yu Yue specially tied her hair into a cute little bun and made her a pink hairband with leftover fabric scraps from making clothes, carefully tying it into a pretty bow.
She was wearing a pair of leather shoes in the same color as Xie Yan's. These little leather shoes were the result of Chaochao's whole day of polishing them yesterday, and they looked shiny and bright today.
Wearing her beautiful new dress, Chaochao walked excitedly, swaying as she went. When she stepped out of the door, she demurely lifted her little dress, just like a delicate doll that had stepped out of a fairy tale.
Chaochao looked absolutely stunning in the dress she had been longing for.
She walked and twirled around, and when she saw Xie Yan, she excitedly ran towards him, lifting her skirt. With her rosy cheeks upturned and her eyes full of anticipation, she asked, "Daddy, is my new dress pretty?" Then she waited expectantly for Xie Yan's praise.
Looking at his daughter's adorable appearance, Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckle. He quickly squatted down, mimicking an expression of amazement, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! Whose child is this! How can she be so beautiful?"
As he spoke, he grabbed her and pretended to snatch her away, saying, "No, this child is too beautiful. I want to take her back, hide her away, and make her my child."
After saying that, he picked up Chaochao, carried her on his shoulder, and made a move to walk into the house.
Chaochao was terrified and screamed, struggling and shouting, "It's yours! It's yours! Don't hide me! Mommy, save me!"
Yu Yue looked at the father and daughter acting strangely, her eyes full of laughter, and gently shook her head.
She quickly finished packing.
She wore the same shirt as Xie Yan, and the same color pants, but the style was slightly flared wide-leg pants, which looked fashionable and elegant.
She wore black leather shoes, which Xie Yan had specially bought for her.
She rarely wore it because she often worked in the fields.
These leather shoes had heels of four or five centimeters. When Yu Yue wore them, her legs appeared longer and straighter, and her overall demeanor became even more elegant and outstanding.
If you look up, you can see her two thick, long braids.
Xie Yan frowned slightly when he saw the two braids. In his eyes, the braids were like a flaw in a perfect painting.
He went straight up to her, pulled her to sit down, and said gently, "Honey, I think you'd look better with a different hairstyle."
As he spoke, he took off her own braid and personally re-braided a cleverly designed side braid for her.
Yu Yuehui already had a very beautiful head and face shape, and after losing weight, her features became even more elegant and refined. With a few strands of hair naturally falling by her ears, she looked naturally and relaxed, making Xie Yan stare in amazement.
Yu Yue felt the stray hairs by her ear and instinctively reached out to tuck them behind her ear.
Xie Yan, with his sharp eyes, lightly patted her hand and said with a smile, "What are you doing?"
"Such beautiful hair, don't touch it."
Yu Yuehui scratched at the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly and whispered, "But, but my cheeks feel itchy."
Xie Yan pulled her to the large mirror and asked with a smile, "Look, isn't it prettier than your two braids?"
Such a beautiful hairstyle shouldn't be messed up.
Looking at her completely transformed self in the mirror, Yu Yue could hardly believe it was her.
Although she had been very careful about her appearance after marrying Xie Yan, she never imagined that Zi Hui would be so beautiful.
Yu Yuehui was so captivated by her own beauty that she could not extricate herself.
She glanced at the handsome guy next to her, and a slight smile unconsciously crept onto her lips. He really was good-looking.
Seeing her like this, Xie Yan deliberately asked, "Is your cheek still itchy?"
Yu Yue replied: "..."
As if changing the subject, she took Xie Yan's hand, looked him up and down, and asked curiously, "We both have braids, so why is yours better than mine?"
