Xu Zijiang hinted that it was still broad daylight, yet he was already thinking about that kind of thing. Knowing that he had been looking forward to it for a long time, Yu Jiu didn't scold him. She just pinched his waist to make him be serious.
"Okay, okay, I know you're enthusiastic. You can do whatever you want tonight, alright? Now, be serious for once. We're getting married today, so don't let others laugh at us."
"Don't worry, we'll make sure this wedding is respectable and dignified for both of us. I promise you won't lose face!"
Marriage is a big deal, after all, so Xu Zijiang wouldn't dare to act recklessly. He only teased Yu Jiu a little before becoming serious again. Both of them wore a big red flower on their chests as they sped along the road on their bicycles. The wind was blowing harder, making the flowers on their chests sway left and right, almost as if they were drifting in the wind.
It was as if the wind was congratulating them on their marriage.
Xu Zijiang followed the predetermined route, circling twice before returning directly to his front door. Zhou Chunrong and Wen Hongjuan, the couple, were already waiting there. As the groom's elders, they were required to wait at the door to welcome the bride. Their eyes lit up immediately when they saw Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu ahead.
The two of them waved frantically at them.
"Hey, they're here, they're here, they're here! The bride and groom are here!"
Some of the people who had followed them on their roundabout journey were waiting in front of Xu Zijiang's house early in the morning. As they saw the group approaching, the onlookers couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Here they come! Here they come! The bride and groom are back! Time to take the bride!"
There are always plenty of people to liven things up. When Xu Zi arrived at the gate on his bicycle with leftover wine, the atmosphere was already lively, with everyone clapping enthusiastically. Some complimented the bride's beauty, others praised the groom's handsomeness, and still others offered blessings, wishing the bride and groom a loving and long-lasting marriage. It was incredibly festive.
Zhou Chunrong and Wen Hongjuan, a married couple, also sent their blessings.
"Xiao Jiu, welcome to the Xu family! From now on, you're all one family. Make sure you live a harmonious and happy life together!"
"Thank you, Sister Juan. Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Yu Jiu lowered her head and smiled shyly, a blush rising on her face, like a flower in March, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Hurry up and carry Xiaojiu inside."
Wen Hongjuan offered to help Xu Zijiang get off the bicycle. After Xu Zijiang got off, he put one hand under Yu Jiu's knees and the other around her waist, and lifted her off the bicycle.
"Come on, wife, I'll take you back to your room."
He carried the person directly to his bed in his room.
Are you hungry?
Xu Zi asked in a low voice, explaining that there was no rule here that the bride couldn't eat. However, since Yu Jiu couldn't leave her room in the morning, she had to stay inside after a quick wash. Therefore, to avoid needing to use the restroom, Yu Jiu hadn't eaten or drunk anything that morning. After all that fuss, it was almost noon now, so of course she was hungry. She nodded.
"I'm so hungry."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get you some food now."
Xu Zi pinched Yu Jiu's little face and said tenderly.
"Ouch, ouch, it's touching me! Captain, everyone's still here!"
The onlookers were gathered at the door, and Xu Zijiang's little actions were clearly seen by everyone.
"Captain, can we come and make a ruckus in the bridal chamber tonight?"
"Yeah, yeah, I want to join in the wedding night pranks too. Captain, everyone else is participating, you wouldn't be so stingy as to refuse, would you?"
A few young men outside chuckled, a lewd curiosity in their eyes. Speaking of wedding night pranks, this is probably the least favorite part of any wedding procession. Some people go too far, sneaking into the room and hiding under the bed. Just as the bride and groom are enjoying themselves, they suddenly pop out, scaring the groom to the point of paralysis and causing the bride to scream incessantly.
Of course, very few people go this far. Most of the time, they just eavesdrop outside the door or window and make a noise to scare the bride and groom into stopping. But Xu Zijiang was the team leader, and his authority was considerable. Everyone was itching to play pranks on the newlyweds, but they lacked the courage, so they simply asked him directly.
Xu Zi glared at him with sharp eyes immediately.
"Prank the newlyweds? Say that again, whose wedding night do you want to prank?"
"Uh, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, Captain, you didn't hear anything, I'm leaving."
The young men, who had been smug just moments before, immediately ran away, not wanting to bring up the wedding night pranks again, for fear of being caught and scolded once more.
"Let me make this clear first, no one is allowed to come and cause trouble in the bridal chamber tonight. If anyone disturbs my good time, don't blame me for coming to beat you up."
Xu Zi warned, laying out the unpleasant truth upfront. This was his long-awaited wedding night, and he wouldn't allow anyone to ruin it. A moment of bliss on this night was priceless, and he didn't want anyone else to hear his wife's alluring voice; he would kill them.
"Okay, okay, I won't make a fuss anymore. Captain, you're being too stingy."
Everyone grumbled and complained, a little dissatisfied, but dared not say it outright. Xu Zijiang then sent them away.
"The lunch feast was so good, couldn't it shut you up? Do you want to enjoy the feast or make a ruckus in the bridal chamber?"
Xu Zijiang spoke with a hint of threat.
Let's go to the banquet then. The team leader's banquet has two meat dishes. If we don't eat, we'll lose a lot.
"Let's eat at the feast, let's eat at the feast! Captain, don't worry, we promise we won't cause any trouble!"
"That's more like it. Hurry up and come out. This is my wife. Don't look around. Come on, come on, come on."
Xu Zi shooed all the young men away like flies, leaving the young girls and older women able to linger in the room for a few more glances at the bride.
"The team leader is keeping a really close eye on Yu Zhiqing. Now that he's married her, is he afraid someone will snatch her away?"
One of the older women joked, "But young girls only like this kind of masculine, domineering love!"
"If only the captain had a younger brother, as tall and handsome as the captain, with a domineering personality, but not as domineering or fierce as the captain, that would be perfect."
"Pfft, you have a cousin right here! Look at Lin Zheng, do you like him? But if that's what you're thinking, you might as well wait to marry the team leader's son and have Yu Zhiqing get pregnant with a boy. It might not be too late to have him now. He'd combine the best of both the team leader and Yu Zhiqing, so he'd definitely be tall, handsome, and have a great personality—guaranteed to meet your requirements!"
"That's right, the team leader and Yu Zhiqing's child, he must be flawless. It's a pity I'm too old, by the time he's born I'll be past my prime."
The little girl touched her face and muttered to herself.
"What?"
What does "yesterday's flowers" mean?
"Oh, it just means getting old, doesn't it, Yu Zhiqing? Am I right?"
"That's right, but I'm pregnant and I don't know if it will be a boy or a girl. You shouldn't wait for him anymore. You should find a good family to marry into."
Yu Jiu chuckled and said, "With that age difference, being ten or twenty years older might not be a good idea."
"I do want to get married, but I'm not satisfied with any of the men my mother has found for me. How can I get married?"
The little girl stomped her feet in frustration.
"Take your time, you're still young, there's no rush."
Yu Jiu comforted her for a moment, and just then, Xu Zijiang brought over a meal, which was full of meat. Xu Zijiang also brought over some soup.
"You eat first, I have to go out and check the table. There's something I need to help with outside, so if you need anything, just have someone call me. Auntie, you two stay here and chat with her, she must be bored by herself. Here's some candy, here are some peanuts, there's food here, you can eat and chat at the same time."
Xu Zijiang then found some snacks and placed them on the table, indicating that everyone could eat as much as they wanted.
"Okay, no problem. You go ahead and do your thing. We'll take care of your wife here, so don't worry."
"Okay, I'll head out then."
Xu Zijiang nodded to Yu Jiu, a smile playing on his lips, and left. He had arranged everything perfectly. Yu Jiu didn't suffer any grievances, and soon the day was over. After the meal, those who needed to leave went home, while those who needed to help stayed to assist. Soon, night fell, and it was time for the main event that Xu Zijiang had been eagerly anticipating.
He didn't turn on the lights today, but instead lit candles. It was their wedding night, and their first real wedding night, so they needed some atmosphere. If the lights were too bright, Yu Jiu might feel embarrassed. In the dim candlelight, Xu Zijiang found the sexy little nightgown he had hidden away, his wheat-colored face slightly flushed.
He demanded.
"Honey, can you put this on?"
Yu Jiu blushed as she looked at the two thin and short pieces of cloth.
"What are you doing? When did you get these clothes? Pah, you old lewd pervert!"
"Put it on, honey~~~"
Xu Zi acted affectionately towards the wolfhound.
Despite her scolding, Yu Jiu couldn't resist Xu Zijiang's persistent pleading and put it on anyway. Only after putting it on did she realize something was wrong. The fabric barely covered her snowy buttocks, but why did it feel so cold down there?
