Unlike the loving mother and filial daughter atmosphere on Xiang Zhilan's side, the atmosphere on Ni Sitian's side was extremely strange.
Because of the wedding custom of picking up the bride, the bride is required to stay at her parents' home that night, so Ni Sitian went back to her parents' home in the afternoon.
Because of the promise made by that man last time, Ni Qianshan was kind and gentle to Ni Sitian. Ni Ziqi had just been taught a lesson and harbored resentment towards Ni Sitian, but she was also wary of her, so she forced a smile at her as well. He Cuiyun was also polite to Ni Ziqi, fearing that she would suffer at Ni Sitian's hands again.
Despite the harmonious atmosphere, Ni Sitian felt extremely strange. After dinner, she retreated to her room. Her room could truly be described as 'sparsely furnished': a small, hardboard bed about 1.2 meters wide, a student desk and chair, a simple wardrobe, and nothing else.
Since she was just going to make do with one night's sleep anyway, she lay down early, but couldn't fall asleep, so she picked up her phone to play.
She and Xu Tingchuan could be considered an 'old married couple,' but she was still a little nervous about their wedding tomorrow.
As she opened WeChat, she saw a message from Xu Tingchuan: Are you asleep?
Ni Sitian quickly replied with a message: I can't sleep without you.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a video call, and she immediately swiped to answer it, seeing Xu Tingchuan's face on the screen.
"I'll sleep with you," Xu Tingchuan said with a gentle smile. "You must go to bed early tonight, you can't be a panda bride tomorrow."
Ni Sitian smiled sweetly, propped her phone on a stand on the bed, lay on her side looking at the phone, and then obediently listened to Xu Tingchuan and closed her eyes.
Xu Tingchuan gently read her a French bedtime story, and only after confirming that she had fallen asleep did he lie down on the bed and close his eyes to sleep.
The night was peaceful, and the moon was exceptionally gentle.
Time passed little by little, the seasons changed, the moon disappeared, and the sky turned a pale white.
Ni Sitian woke up from a sweet dream, feeling refreshed. She stretched and got out of bed to wash up.
As she walked toward the bathroom, she saw Ni Ziqi coming out of the bathroom. She bumped into Ni Ziqi and seemed startled, then pretended to be sleepy, yawned, and walked away.
Ni Sitian found her strange and paid more attention when she entered the bathroom. She noticed that the face wash she brought had been moved, so she picked it up, opened it, and smelled the scent, sensing that something was wrong.
So she picked up Ni Ziqi's facial cleanser, unscrewed the cap, and squeezed some of her own into it.
After putting it back in its place, she started washing up. After eating the bread she had brought, she called Xu Tingchuan to wake her up.
The two chatted for a few minutes before they heard a knock on the door downstairs.
Ni Sitian hung up the phone and went downstairs. It was the hairstylist, the makeup artist, and a few key members; the group was quite a large one.
A group of people surrounded Ni Sitian and dressed her up. When Ni Ziqi came out after washing up, she saw Ni Sitian being fawned over like this and almost gritted her teeth.
“You better behave yourself today,” Ni Qianshan warned Ni Ziqi. “Don’t ruin my big plans.”
Ni Ziqi turned and went back to her room. She picked and chose in the closet but couldn't find anything she liked. Suddenly, her face started to burn. She couldn't help but scratch it a couple of times. When she looked in the mirror, her whole face was covered in red rashes!
Ni Sitian had already finished her makeup and hair and was waiting for someone to deliver her wedding dress.
Xu Tingchuan has been very secretive. She still hasn't seen the wedding dress. He only said that she would be pleasantly surprised.
