Yu Chen had already gone to town to retrieve the new wedding attire.
The day was sunny and breezy, and the moon was full and beautiful in the evening.
Yu Chen and Xu Nian did not invite anyone to their wedding. Everything in the cabin was decorated by the two of them themselves, and even the little fat pig brought a red silk flower.
Yu Chen led Xu Nian out of the room and began the wedding ceremony.
This time, unlike in the cave, Xu Nian voluntarily agreed to marry him.
After the wedding ceremony, Yu Chen laughed like a fool, staring at Xu Nian with a silly grin.
"Husband, come, let's drink the nuptial wine?" Xu Nian placed the wine cup in Yu Chen's hand.
"Okay." Yu Chen downed the wine in one gulp.
Xu Nian shook her head and drank her own glass.
The two ate a little something and then sat outside together to admire the moon.
Peach blossoms are falling, and the moonlight is just right.
With a beautiful woman beside him, his burning gaze fell upon her, while she, oblivious, turned to look at him.
Everything was just right.
"My wife, let's go to bed!" Yu Chen put his arm around Xu Nian's waist and started to lead her into the house.
"Yu Chen, I want to watch a little longer." Xu Nian said with a forced smile. Yu Chen hadn't let her off the hook these past few days, so she wanted to procrastinate as much as possible.
"Since my wife enjoys looking at the moon so much, why don't we stay outside today?" Yu Chen's gaze was intense, and his eager look gave Xu Nian a bad feeling.
"Yu Chen, let's go back!" Xu Nian wanted to change her mind, but Yu Chen wouldn't agree.
After being pushed to the ground, Xu Nian tried to get up but was pushed back down by someone.
...
Three days have passed since their wedding day, and Xu Nian still doesn't want to talk to Yu Chen.
There was no other reason; it was because he was too passionate about that kind of thing, as if he wanted to do it all in his life.
Moreover, he became increasingly clingy to her, and would panic if he couldn't see her, as if he had lost her.
"Yu Chen, how about we go for a walk?" Xu Nian thought that things couldn't go on like this.
Yu Chen's current behavior is entirely a manifestation of his lack of security.
"Little fox, where do you want to go?" Yu Chen clung to Xu Nian again and hugged her.
"How about we go see the flowers, the sea, the rain, the clouds, the mountains, and the water?" Xu Nian's list of things was enough to keep the two of them traveling for a long time and to visit many places.
"Okay, as long as you're with the little fox, I'll agree to go anywhere." Yu Chen smiled gently, and the light in his eyes when he looked at Xu Nian was as if he saw the whole world.
"Yu Chen, do you like me that much?" Xu Nian asked with a playful smile.
"Little fox, maybe you think love at first sight is superficial, but who says you have to love a certain quality of someone to love them!" Yu Chen rubbed his head affectionately against Xu Nian's hair.
"What if I'm no longer pretty one day?" Xu Nian scoffed.
"Little fox, if it were you, I think even if you were ugly, I would still choose you." As Yu Chen said this, he covered Xu Nian's face with his large hand, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes.
"Little fox, your eyes are so cold." Yu Chen's smile remained unchanged, but Xu Nian noticed that the corners of his eyes were gradually becoming moist.
“Little fox, have you ever resented me for forcing you?” Yu Chen shook his head after saying that.
He murmured, "None of that matters anymore, as long as you are my wife."
"Yu Chen, are you alright?" Xu Nian looked at him with concern. He had been acting increasingly strangely these past few days.
Yu Chen suddenly looked up, held Xu Nian's head still with his hand, and made her look into his eyes, saying, "Little fox, I want to be with you forever, I really mean it."
"I know," Xu Nian smiled faintly.
"When will we be back from our trip?" Yu Chen was reluctant to leave this place, which he had personally built for the little fox.
"You decide."
"Then we'll come back when the peaches are ripe. Your little fat pig always steals a lot of my peaches when I'm not looking every year," Yu Chen complained to Xu Nian, telling her what else the little fat pig had done.
"Then why do you still keep it?" Xu Nian asked, amused.
"Because that's what the little fox left behind in this world, and it's one of the few things that can keep me company." Yu Chen's mood became low.
"Don't be sad, I'm here with you now." Xu Nian took Yu Chen's hand, and the two packed some clothes and went out.
As for the little pig, the two of them stayed here to guard the house.
...
They went to see the mountains, the water, the clouds, the sea, and the flowers, but they didn't go to see the rain yet, because the peach season was approaching.
The two could only return to that paradise with lingering memories.
"Yu Chen, the peaches you planted are ripe." Xu Nian could smell the fragrance of ripe peaches from afar.
"Come on, let's pick some and try them. We can't let the little pig eat them all." Yu Chen led Xu Nian into the peach grove.
The peaches in the orchard were big and sweet, and the two of them ate their fill before leaving.
"Little fox, you rest first, I'll go clean the house." Yu Chen wiped a stone in front of the wooden house clean and let Xu Nian sit on it, then went inside to clean.
Seeing him bustling about, going in and out, Xu Nian smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes.
The house had been uninhabited for a long time, and it took a long time to clean it properly before Yu Chen came out and called Xu Nian inside.
However, not long after they returned, Yu Chen suddenly fell ill, without any warning and with a sudden onset.
Xu Nian went to town to fetch a doctor, but she couldn't get out of the peach grove no matter what she did.
She wanted to find Yuanbao, only to discover that Yuanbao had disappeared sometime during the day.
"Yu Chen, you'll be alright." Xu Nian brought in porridge and helped Yu Chen, who was lying in bed, sit up.
He leaned weakly against her, his face as white as paper, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Nian, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
