Chapter 037 Discussing Marriage
By the time Bai Su came to his senses, the topic of marriage had already reached a point where he couldn't interrupt, and it was beyond the reach of even eight horses.
Meila suggested, "I think Baisu's farm is great. I heard they're putting on the final touches?" she asked her son. "I remember you said the lawn was beautifully manicured."
"Yes," replied Keos.
Minister Robis disagreed. "Speaking of grassland, what could possibly compare to the fields outside the Centaur Valley? It's blooming right now, and it looks beautiful without any decoration."
Meila rolled her eyes at her husband and retorted, "But in the end, it's still best if the children like it. Perhaps some memorable places would be a good choice? For example, Benjamin's restaurant. Bai Su mentioned it this afternoon. That's where they had their first date, and that day happened to be Benjamin and his wife's wedding anniversary."
"Really?" Minister Robis was very surprised. He patted Keos on the shoulder and laughed out loud. "Son, you never told me this detail. Come to think of it, that's also your mother's and my favorite restaurant."
Mela seemed to recall some sweet memories and immediately agreed: "Yes, I think everyone would dislike that restaurant."
"Correction: It's 'no centaur'. No centaur would dislike Benjamin's restaurant." Minister Robbies emphasized.
Keos told his parents, "Bai Su is also planning to open a restaurant on his farm. He and Lisa are in the final stages of preparation."
Mela was surprised. "Lisa? Is she Faria's lover? I remember that girl. She was efficient and seemed to have endless enthusiasm." She praised. "I think Bai Su's choice of partnering with her in a restaurant is a great idea... Wait, are you saying this because you're considering holding the ceremony in the new restaurant?"
Bai Su couldn't help but interrupt: "Actually, we haven't discussed that yet..."
But he was drowned out by Minister Robbie's strong voice: "Then it's still the meadow on the farm you mentioned." He looked at his wife, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he slammed the table and said, "I suddenly remembered, what about the boat?"
Meila's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Are you talking about the ship we're going to give them?"
Bai Su tried to struggle: "I mean..."
"Yes, it is big enough and luxurious enough. By the end of the month, the hybrid rice on the farm will be ripe, and the two children will go to other towns to transport food, and even go to the Western Continent, and they can just take this ship." Minister Robis has been closely following the growth of the hybrid rice and knows that the rice will be harvested soon.
"Oh! You mean a wedding at sea? Honey, I have to say, this is a great idea." Mela laughed heartily and asked her son, "What do you think of a wedding at sea?"
Bai Su: “…”
No one asked for my opinion?
In desperation, Bai Su couldn't help but pinch Keos's arm.
Only then did Keos notice that Bai Su looked like he had something to say for a long time, and he was shocked to realize that he had been immersed in the conversation with his parents and ignored Bai Su's feelings.
He patted the back of Bai Su's hand apologetically, signaling him not to be anxious.
Then he raised his voice a little to draw the attention of his parents, who were still in a heated discussion, back to himself.
He said loudly: "Father, Mother, maybe we should listen to Bai Su's ideas."
The scene immediately became quiet.
Three pairs of warm horse eyes with square pupils stared at Bai Su, waiting for him to speak.
This made Bai Su nervous.
But he still mustered up the courage to say, "I think we should not rush it too quickly. At least we should wait until..."
According to Bai Su's idea, he enjoys ambiguity very much and hopes that the relationship can last longer. Then he can live together before marriage to feel whether the other person's life rhythm and living habits are compatible with his own. If there is no problem, he can consider entering the palace of marriage.
As a modern man, and a gay in a society where same-sex marriage is not yet legal, Bai Su does not actually have a strong desire to get married. He feels that being able to maintain a long-term romantic relationship with someone is already a rare thing.
He was about to express his thoughts when he was interrupted by Keos who seemed to have noticed something.
The handsome young centaur simply stared at him with a deep gaze and whispered, "It suddenly occurred to me that we could have Shetlan, or pony as you call her, come to our wedding ball wearing a vest." He paused, then pursed his lips apologetically. "I'm sorry to interrupt you—what were you about to say?"
Pony, vest, dancing...
The sense of déjà vu is overwhelming.
Bai Su couldn't help swallowing.
He closed his eyes and said in humiliation, "No, nothing."
"I think whether it's on the lawn, in the restaurant, or on the boat, it's all good."
"I'll listen to your opinions. It's about the dance party. We need to discuss this carefully..."
Mela and Minister Robis were very satisfied with his positive attitude and pulled him aside to have a more in-depth discussion about the ball.
When Bai Su heard Minister Robbies promise to ask the little ponies to act as the atmosphere at the wedding, she was extremely satisfied and had already started to plan to make some cute little clothes for them to act as flower girls.
Only Keos did not participate in the subsequent discussion.
Instead, he lowered his head, as if relieved, and smiled faintly.

"So you agreed to get married?" Eli was lying on the sofa eating the cookies Bai Su left for him. Hearing this, his eyebrows raised.
He rolled his eyes, slapped away Gabi's little paw that was secretly reaching out to grab the biscuits, and put the plate down heavily on the coffee table. The movement was so big that it scared the man and two tigers in the room, and their hair stood on end.
The beauty said angrily: "This is too unfair!"
Bai Su also realized her boyfriend's little trick, but she was not too angry - wasn't it because Keos cared about her that he was so eager to marry her?
After figuring this out, Bai Su stopped worrying about it.
However, Eli's "family-like" attitude made Bai Su feel warm in his heart.
He asked Eli, "Why are you mad about me getting married?"
Eli sighed, buried his head in Bai Su's chest, and said in a muffled voice: "I finally found a place to stay. You are so good. I don't want to leave so early..."
Bai Su felt very comfortable when Uncle Snow Leopard showed weakness occasionally.
He touched the neat short white hair of Mr. Snow Leopard.
In fact, Eli is more than ten years older than Bai Su, but perhaps because Eli has a wild and pure vitality, Bai Su always feels that he is actually about the same age as himself.
Sometimes, when they become willful, they are even more childish than two little tigers.
"You can continue to live here. I promise this will always be your home." Bai Su smiled. "You said we are already good friends. And you see, after I officially adopt the two little tigers, we will be relatives and family."
Seeing Eli staring at him blankly, Bai Su smiled slightly and asked gently, "Is there anything wrong with living with your family?"
Aaron and Gabi nodded vigorously.
When the two children saw Eli's lonely look, they thought he was really going to move away and were very anxious.
They couldn't get a word in, nor could they come up with a sentence as logical and reasonable as Bai Su's, so they could only act like a spoiled child and hold onto Eli's thighs tightly.
Being comforted like this, Eli's little emotions immediately disappeared.
He could feel Bai Su's love and kindness towards him, and for a moment, he felt so proud that his tail emerged.
The long, furry, fluffy snow leopard tail hung down behind his buttocks. Eli said proudly, "Then I will stay."
"It's because you strongly requested me to stay with you!"
Bai Su quickly plucked his tail hair, and before he could get angry, she smiled and replied, "Yes, it was my strong request... Do you want apple pie? How about baking me an apple pie tomorrow morning?"
"Okay!" three cats of different colors answered in unison.
"We also have noodles. I want to eat noodles at noon, and I want it with minced meat and green beans." Little foodie Gabi raised his hand to speak.
"Okay, I'll go fry the sauce first."
With that, Bai Su walked towards the kitchen.
If he was two steps later, he might have heard Eli muttering quietly, "It's a pity that Bai Su and I don't have a spark, otherwise, it wouldn't be a good deal for the old man and that cold centaur..."
At night, Bai Su was half asleep and half awake when he suddenly touched something furry.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a snow leopard with two little tigers. Three cats climbed onto his bed together, looking at him innocently with their beautiful round eyes.
Furry Critical Hit!
Bai Su felt that this day couldn't be better.
He pounced on it and buried his head in the snow leopard's snow-white, warm belly.
This time, Uncle Snow Leopard did not push him away.
Bai Su knew very well that such good benefits were not always available.
It's a rare occasion when Mr. Snow Leopard is in a good mood and is willing to reward him with a furry belly, so he must seize the opportunity and suck it hard!
So he rubbed it hard.
Finally, the snow leopard, unable to bear it any longer, slapped him with its paw.
Holding a big, thick, pink-padded breast, with a little tiger on the chest and neck, a farmer who is preparing for marriage is so happy that he is almost lost.
"If there were a few more ponies wearing little vests and bow ties, I can't even imagine what a lively, cheerful, positive, kind, optimistic and lovely young man I would be..."
He looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself.
