The two looked at each other and walked forward together.
Cao An extended his index finger for Zi Bo to grasp. He then took their hands and placed them together. "Are you ready? I'm going to start."
At a command, Zibo and Zishu exerted their strength and twisted Cao An's hand to the side. Cao An did it easily, but his wrist did not move at all.
The eight people at the back were ordered by Xiao Hai. "Go, go up and knock Brother Cao down, and your Brother Qi can take his sister-in-law home!"
A group of people rushed over and surrounded Cao An. The smallest one actually climbed onto his back and started scratching Cao An's chin.
"Hey, you are cheating!" Cao An couldn't stand it anymore, someone was tickling his waist.
"Hey, Brother Cao, how can this be considered cheating? Isn't it enough to knock you down? You didn't say we can't come together! Kids, work harder!" Xiao Hai shouted at them, and they worked together and finally pressed down Cao An's hand.
"Oh~ I win, I win!"
Zi Bo also pounced on him and jumped excitedly on Cao An.
Cao An held him down with one hand, "You little bastard, you outnumbered us and defeated the minority. What's there to be happy about?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy!" Zi Bo was so excited, he admired Brother Cao the most!
"Okay, okay, go pick up the bride." If he doesn't let him go, Xia Youyou will probably eat him!
Qi Siling patted Xiao Hai and went inside with a smile.
He will be able to marry his beloved girl soon!
Xia Youyou was watching the excitement from the window. Seeing that he was about to come in, she quickly sat back on the bed and pretended to be well-behaved.
Qi Siling was struck by her beauty the moment he pushed the door open. The little girl sat delicately on the edge of the bed, her dark hair pinned up, her face flushed with shyness. His heart pounded as he quickly walked over and squatted in front of her.
She was startled and thought he was going to do the later-day routine of proposing on one knee.
"Youyou, I'm here to marry you!"
Xia Youyou's sweet smile softened his heart.
He reached out and held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it. "Did you miss me?"
She nodded and climbed onto his neck.
He took advantage of the situation and hugged her, took a deep breath on her, restrainedly kissed her lips once before letting go. He placed the flower in her arms and reached around her legs to pick her up.
“We’re getting married today!”
Xia Youyou leaned on his shoulder and kissed him on the corner of his lips. "I missed you so much!"
Qi Siling walked out quickly, not wanting to stay, as he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and push the person onto the bed.
There was still a commotion outside, and when Xiao Hai saw him carrying someone out, he started to join in the commotion. He got flower petals from somewhere and started throwing them at the two of them.
The others followed suit, laughing and making noises behind Qi Siling.
Xia Youyou picked up a petal that had fallen on her body, only then realizing it was a fake flower. She turned her head to look at the man holding her. He had a smile on his lips, and when he saw her looking at him, he turned to look at her.
This man looks particularly good today! The woolen suit he's wearing makes him even more handsome. Xia Youyou couldn't help herself, using the flowers to block the view of the people behind her, and quietly bit his lips.
“…”
The pace became faster.
When the person was carried to the main hall, Liu Hui was already sitting in the main seat.
Qi Siling put her down and they both stood in front of the mat.
Xia Youyou's eyes suddenly turned red.
After she came into this world, the woman before her truly treated her with unconditional kindness. Who could possibly treat a child with no blood relationship at all as their own? She was incredibly lucky to have met Cao An, to have met her mother. She loved and trusted her unconditionally.
Kneeling on the mat, tears silently rolled down my eyes.
Liu Hui also wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and waited until the two men finished bowing before she stood up and helped them up.
"Mom!" Xia Youyou threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? It's a happy day!" Liu Hui held back the tears that were about to burst out and patted her back to comfort her. Turning to Qi Siling, she forced a smile and said, "You will be husband and wife from now on. I wish you a happy and loving life together."
"Thank you, Mom." Qi Siling stepped forward and helped Xia Youyou over. "Don't worry, Mom. I will take good care of Youyou."
"Okay. Go ahead."
Xia Youyou couldn't stop crying and was carried out of the main room.
Cao An walked up to her and wiped her tears. "Why are you crying? It's not like you won't be coming back! This is still your home. You're just staying there for one night."
She didn't know why she was suddenly so sad, as if she was only now beginning to feel the emotions of a married woman. She felt a little lost, as if this place was no longer home, and from now on, she was returning to her parents' home, and her brother and she would become relatives.
But they are not related by blood, and cannot even be considered relatives.
Looking up at Cao An, tears welled up again.
Cao An was helpless and took a handkerchief to help her wipe it, "What's wrong?"
"Will this still be my home?" She suddenly lost the sense of belonging. She was like a duckweed floating in the universe, unable to find a place to settle down.
Everyone was a little surprised, even Qi Siling was a little dazed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This has always been your home. The main courtyard is reserved for you!" Cao An pinched her face, finally sighed and hugged her. "Do you feel that after getting married, this has become your parents' home? You've become an outsider? Or do you feel abandoned because we are not related by blood?"
She nodded against his chest, her tears dripping onto his sweater. Cao An still understood her very well.
Feeling her movements, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Hey, you stained my clothes!"
"I don't care!"
"Okay, okay, why are you suddenly so pretentious? From now on, whether you are an outsider or not, time will tell. I can't guarantee it even verbally!" The silly girl had no sense of security or belonging. She always felt that she was an outsider and had no great feelings for this era.
