Chapter 63: Wedding (Including extra chapter 6 thanks to Ningning’s long review) “I…
“Aside from security, what’s the difference between this world’s Russia and my world’s Russia?”
Yunxi looked at the Russian psychopath who was obviously using his special abilities to steal not far away, and asked in confusion.
Gogol pretended to think for a moment, then replied, "Hmm, maybe it's because this world's Russia once had clowns, and their leader, Yunxi?"
Yunxi:.
Feeling guilty, Yunxi fell silent.
Gogol continued to move forward with Yunxi.
But this time, as he walked, Gogol became distracted.
But this is normal, after all, this is Russia.
Gogol had no extra feelings when he returned here before, but now, Gogol's brain couldn't help but recall his past stories.
Gogol had no nostalgia for his past, nor did he have any strong negative emotions such as hatred.
Gogol just doesn't care.
After all, in Gogol's only remaining childhood memories, his parents did not love him, but they just didn't care about him. They would ignore him when he made unnecessary demands, but they did not hate him or deliberately abuse him.
If we have to say something special, it may be that little Gogol's mother has a mental illness. Fortunately, she can barely pretend to be normal and not let it affect her work and life too much.
The only downside is that her mental illness was passed on to little Gogol through DNA.
But Gogol's father quickly got used to living with two mentally ill people and even regarded it as normal. As a result, Gogol never thought that there was anything special about his mental state when he was a child.
Later, the couple died.
There was no spectacular death, no conspiracy or supernatural power, just the simplest disease caused by fatigue and hunger.
The disease first overwhelmed little Gogol's father, and then attacked his mother who supported the entire family alone. Both of them passed away in the same winter.
During those two days, the snow falling outside the window seemed to be of the same weight.
Everything happened naturally and quietly, and it was an ordinary tragic story that was very reasonable in the context of that era.
Later, when little Gogol ran out of food, he chose a nice day to go out and look for food. He was kidnapped, abused, sold, insulted and mocked by the circus's regular employees, and then "rescued" by a group of police officers who only cared about upholding their own "justice"...
This episode was a bit more exciting, but it's still not a good memory.
Because at every important turning point, little Gogol was unable to resist.
He was like a bird in a cage, at the mercy of others, forced to perform a drama whose direction had already been determined. So when the kind police officer pointed out the path to a "normal life", little Gogol resolutely chose to completely abandon everything and leave.
Little Gogol felt that in this way, he would be free.
But after leaving Russia, young Gogol discovered that his true thoughts did not seem to be what he originally thought.
He didn't seem to dislike the circus or being a clown.
He wants to see life pass away, but he feels extremely sad when he sees life actually pass away.
He likes the free birds, but he can't help but pay attention to the wood where the birds are perching...
Gogol had never understood why he was so strange. He thought about it for a long time and just thought that he was breaking through the shackles of thought and running towards freedom.
The idea seemed perfectly reasonable—until the memories Yunxi had taken away returned, along with the words he had written on the pages of the book.
In this memory, after being captured by the circus's animal trainer, little Gogol did not suffer the beating that the adult Gogol had imagined. Instead, he met Yunxi, who replaced the original circus leader with special abilities.
Yunxi brutally killed the animal trainer in front of little Gogol, and then gently asked little Gogol if his wound hurt.
What was little Gogol thinking at that time?
Oh, little Gogol thought that this leader was very handsome, but not quite right. Maybe he wanted to use this method to warn him that if he dared to escape, he would end up like the trainer.
But little Gogol was too weak to kill the leader with one blow, so he decided to test the leader first.
Little Gogol's temptation was full of loopholes in Big Gogol's memories, and only Yunxi could pretend not to see it.
However, Yunxi's disguise of being vicious was also very poor, and it was very obvious to little Gogol, so they were even in this round.
…
"Kolya." Yunxi was obviously a little tired. He pulled Gogol and said, "We've been walking for a long time. I want to sit down for a while."
Gogol cooperated and sat on a bench on the roadside with Yunxi.
There are not many passers-by here and the environment is very nice.
Yunxi relaxed, leaned against Gogol, and naturally took out from his pocket -
"Cellphone——!" Yunxi excitedly said, "I'm here to play with you again!"
Looking at Yunxi nodding frantically, Gogol's earrings dangled with excitement:
Yunxi hasn’t gotten tired of playing that idle farming game yet?
No matter what he thought, seeing Yunxi's serious look, Gogol did not disturb her.
Gogol also opened his mobile phone. He clicked on Zhibao Manor and saw the chickens that Yunxi had run to him. He immediately fed them some chicken feed.
Then, Gogol beat away the chicken that Sigma never fed and that came to him for food and drink for the umpteenth time.
A pop-up message appears on your phone: [Sigma's chicken spent 1 hour and 12 minutes in your manor, eating 3 grams of feed. Now you've beaten it up and driven it away, dropping 2 grams of feed!]
Gogol was satisfied.
He also put 2 grams of feed into the basin between him and Yunxi's chickens.
After doing all this, Gogol turned off his phone and stared at Yunxi's profile for a long time.
Seeing Yunxi's movement change from dots to strokes, Gogol immediately spoke:
"Xiao Yunxi, let's go eat Russian food for lunch? When Xiao Yunxi was in the circus, the food she ate was quite casual. Later, when Xiao Yunxi took the clowns to other countries, the food wasn't authentic enough. But it's different here—"
Yunxi suddenly looked up from the game, causing her turquoise earrings to shake violently. "The one I took you to a few days ago wasn't authentic either?"
Gogol: "Hmm..."
Yunxi was furious. She jumped up and down: "I chose such an expensive restaurant, and the owner is Russian, and it's still not authentic enough?!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! We'd rather have the evil Russians fooling our village!"
Gogol smiled and tried to calm Yunxi down, telling her not to get so angry that she would leave the world immediately. At the same time, he activated his special ability and drove away all the birds that had sneaked up on Yunxi when she was quiet just now and were now trying to fly to her.
As time went by, Gogol began to feel confused.
Why are there so many birds? Isn't Xiao Yunxi just lucky? What's with this physique that attracts birds?
But speaking of birds...
Little Gogol once raised a little white bird.
Little Gogol initially raised a little white bird just to fool the leader who insisted on making him a tamer, but after little Gogol really caught the bird, it only took him 0.1 seconds to fall in love with the bird.
It's beautiful, light, and free...
The most important thing is that as a little bird, it will not be afraid at all even if it is in such an evil circus.
Well...but it is also possible that Yunxi would secretly feed the little white bird when Xiao Gogol was not around. The little white bird became close to Yunxi and could ignore Yunxi's bad deeds.
As for how Gogol knew this, it was because birds are creatures that take on the flavor of what they eat. Back then, if little Gogol hadn't looked at the little white bird for a while, he would receive a new one with a different flavor. If he hadn't trusted Yunxi enough, and the little white bird had two uniquely pointed feathers, little Gogol would have suspected the bird had been swapped.
There are many benefits to raising a little white bird.
For example, little Gogol could not understand the songs Yunxi hummed before, but after the little white bird appeared, little Gogol could hear Yunxi singing songs in his hometown language.
Or a song for children.
Of course, there are also disadvantages to raising little white birds.
For example, when Yunxi gave the wooden bird to little Gogol, little Gogol's first reaction was to doubt whether the prototype of the wooden bird was the little white bird. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the eyes of the wooden bird.
Speaking of which, the wooden bird was Xiao Yunxi’s first gift to the clown!
Although the price was that each circus member had 1 to 10 IOUs, and a large area of the birch forest behind the circus was cut down...this was Xiao Yunxi's first gift to the clown!
…
In the restaurant, Yunxi's voice brought Gogol back to his senses: "Sweet, sweet, sweet—"
Gogol subconsciously handed over a glass of water, and Yunxi took it in a hurry and drank several mouthfuls in one breath until the taste of the dessert in her mouth was completely covered up before she came to her senses.
"I forgive that Russian store manager now." Yunxi said thoughtfully, "What did she do wrong? She just wanted to localize Russian food and flowers!"
Gogol was puzzled, so he took a sip as well: "Is it sweet? Hmm...does the clown think it's okay?"
Yunxi:?
"It's really sweet! It's so sweet that I could goose-step all the way from Moscow to Guangdong after eating it!"
"It's really okay. Xiao Yunxi's favorite cake milk tea is also very sweet!"
“This is different…”
The two started bickering again. Fortunately, Yunxi was quite satisfied with the dishes other than dessert. The yogurt ice cream was so delicious that Yunxi wished she could live in Russia for the rest of her life. As she ate, Yunxi forgot about the quarrel with Gogol.
Gogol drank the hot soup slowly.
Gogol observed Yunxi for a while, and he finally understood why Yunxi only let him cook meat and didn't let him try desserts when they were in the circus.
It turns out that I didn’t think it tasted good.
However, that period did help Gogol develop his skills in handling livestock, especially chickens.
But Gogol rarely used it later and almost forgot it.
After all, Gogol always felt that it was a bit weird for someone to say he liked birds while crazily making roasted, stewed and fried chicken.
Now Gogol also understood. The reason he felt strange was actually because of Yunxi, because Yunxi acted in front of the police officers at the end, saying something about "forcing little Gogol to roast his favorite bird."
But it was obvious that Yunxi never wanted to touch the little white bird. When she finally set fire to the entire circus, she also left some time for little Gogol to go in and rescue the little white bird and the wooden bird.
But later the little white bird flew away in pursuit of freedom, and the wooden bird was abandoned by the amnesiac little Gogol because of its heavy body.
But when it comes to this, Gogol finds Yunxi more and more strange.
Did the other party forget to give the wooden bird anti-corrosion treatment, so when they made the bird the second time, they made a titanium alloy one in one go?
But doing so, every time he took out the bird, the atmosphere felt lost. It was like someone confessing their love by saying, "Our love is like this birch tree," instead of "Our love is like titanium alloy."
Gogol simply asked, "Xiao Yunxi, why don't you make a wooden bird for the clown?"
Yunxi, who is eating yogurt ice cream:?
Yunxi didn't know how the topic had turned to this, but faced with this question, Yunxi chose to avoid the question: "Because... titanium alloy is relatively strong and not easy to break..."
Gogol leaned closer: "Um...really?"
Yunxi: ...
Gogol: Stare—
Yunxi:.
Yunxi gave up and said, "Well, actually, it's because such a cute wooden bird is a rare find! If I ask the savior to carve it again, the savior will never be able to carve it again!"
Gogol: ...
Recalling the large number of tree stumps and the very rough wooden bird that looked cute only from a distance, Gogol believed it.
However, Gogol felt that there was another reason why Yunxi did not say it out loud - Yunxi felt that he was not as cute as little Gogol.
When he was still little Gogol, Yunxi would really let him sleep in her arms every day and would also help him tidy up his hair and clothes.
But now, if he pesters Yunxi to do this again, Yunxi will only endure it for three minutes at most and then kick him twice!
But Gogol would not reject his past self, which would sound too stupid. Not only that, in fact, Gogol was very grateful to the other party. After all -
If little Gogol had not been sharp enough, he would have begun to consciously connect different memories with each other after his first memory was taken away. After Yunxi left, he would not even have retained the fragmentary memories of "Kolya", "little bird" and "savior".
That would be a shame, wouldn't it?
…
"We're just traveling, but we still need to change into local clothes?"
Yunxi withdrew her gaze from the Russian folk costumes in front of her, which, if no one mentioned it, the flower growers would probably mistake for Xinjiang-style costumes. She turned back and studied Gogol for a while:
"Also, if we have to change, why am I the only one who gets to change? Kolya, do you like this clown costume so much?"
After a pause, Yunxi concluded: "Kolya, you're acting weird today."
Gogol blinked and subconsciously imitated Yunxi's tone and continued: "Tell me something that the clown doesn't know."
Yunxi:?
Yunxi: ???
"Bold Kolya, are you provoking the great savior—"
Yunxi was about to pounce with his fangs and claws bared, but the owner of the clothing store appeared at the right moment.
She asked considerately, "Ma'am, do you need my help changing clothes?"
Yunxi paused for a moment, then looked back in confusion: "What?"
Is the game panel's built-in translation function wrong? Why can't he understand what the boss is saying?
The boss' pupils seemed to tremble for a moment, but she understood the moment she met Gogol's gaze: "No, nothing, I just came to ask if the guests need any help. If not, I will leave first. Sorry."
Yunxi just thought that the boss didn't understand Asians and accidentally misjudged his gender, so he didn't say much.
It was only when Yunxi left wearing the new clothes that she felt something was wrong.
There were few people on the road, but everyone couldn't help but look at Yunxi twice when passing by, as if Yunxi was some rare species.
If that were all, Yunxi might have consoled herself that it was the 10 points of charisma that were taking effect. But after seeing Yunxi, these people couldn't help but secretly glance at Gogol, and finally, frightened by Gogol's murderous gaze, they quickly left.
Yunxi: ...
Such a familiar scene.
Yunxi looked at Gogol and said, "Kolya, you're not going to say that their reactions are so strange because I'm a foreigner, are you?"
Gogol: "Pfft...Isn't it possible?"
Yunxi:.
Of course not! He had already used this reason when he went to his world in Gogol and was seen by his fans!
But Gogol, a clown with a bad taste, would definitely not reveal the secret directly at this time. So Yunxi decided to find out the problem herself.
He pulled at the off-white turban that covered his head and was long enough to almost cover his back, then looked at the patterned cloth covering his thighs.
Yunxi raised the first doubt: "I think this dress looks a bit like a skirt."
Gogol said nonchalantly: "No, right? It's just that the shirt is too long, and there are pants underneath!"
Yunxi accepted this explanation and sleekly raised a second question: "I think the way I wear the headscarf on my head is also weird."
Gogol was even more decisive: "It has always been like this! It's just that Xiao Yunxi doesn't understand Russian folk customs!"
Yunxi: "But I..." I also knew a little about Russia when I was the head of a circus!
Yunxi had just started to speak when Gogol suddenly covered her head with a cloak.
The white cloak fell naturally, blocking Yunxi's entire vision, but at the same time, the warm breath belonging to the clown completely covered Yunxi, preventing Yunxi's body from feeling subconsciously uneasy.
But it was still quite strange to do this on the street. Yunxi raised her hand, wanting to lift her cloak, but Gogol interrupted her in time: "No! Now it's the surprise part!"
surprise?
Yunxi stopped moving his hands, and he didn't move obediently.
Until Gogol said: "3, 2, 1 - OK! Xiao Yunxi can be opened now!"
Yunxi then cooperated and opened it.
Then, Yunxi subconsciously opened her eyes wide.
"here it is……"
Yunxi's location has changed, becoming an abandoned church that has been carefully maintained and free of dust.
There are no lamps, only natural light coming in through the stained glass windows. There are no statues of gods, but there is a great savior and a free clown.
And - a ring that the Joker had prepared.
Yunxi:!!!
ring? !
No, wait, even if it existed, why was it in Kolya's hands? When did Kolya accept something like a ring?
Yunxi was right. If it were before, Gogol would indeed feel that the ring was too restrictive.
This is true for both the person receiving the ring and the person giving the ring.
But now, the scar on Gogol's eye was left by Yunxi, Yunxi's ear piercing was done by Gogol, and Gogol's nickname came from Yunxi... Gogol has long been able to accept this "unfreedom" calmly.
There was nothing Gogol could do if he didn't accept it. After all, his idea of "pursuing freedom like a bird" was also due to Yunxi's departure as the head of the group.
It’s just that Yunxi’s understanding of Gogol has not yet reached this level, and Yunxi has never seen such a market.
Yunxi looked at Gogol holding the ring and subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but stopped abruptly when she realized that this might hurt the clown's feelings.
Gogol had long guessed that things would develop like this.
He was not sad, but chuckled twice. While giving Yunxi some time to buffer, he raised his hand and used the hand that was not holding the ring to remove the poker mask that was covering one eye.
"Bang." The mask fell to the ground with a subtle collision sound.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew outside the window, the shadows of the trees swayed, and then quickly returned to calm.
The shadow that briefly appeared on Gogol's pale cheek skin also completely disappeared as the tree trunk returned to its original position.
Under Yunxi's shocked gaze, Gogol slowly knelt on one knee and placed a gentle kiss on the back of Yunxi's hand.
Then, Gogol raised his eyes, and his golden and silver eyes stared straight into Yunxi's green eyes.
"Yunxi, are you willing to stay with Kolya forever?"
The wind came again, but this time, it did not move the branches, but only brought a few vague bird calls.
Gogol looked at Yunxi, who was so panicked that she wanted to pull her hand away, but only relied on her willpower to prevent herself from doing so. He then waited quietly for a long time.
Wait until Yunxi calmed down, wait until Yunxi took the initiative to shake his hand, and then wait for Yunxi's response.
"I do." Yunxi's voice was indescribably nervous. "Put the ring on me."
Gogol finally smiled quietly, a smile completely different from his previous laughter which was more like a performance.
He put the ring he had prepared, which was inlaid with a beautiful golden gem and several small turquoise gems, on the hand of the black-haired boy in front of him.
I moved my fingertips away and found that the ring was just the right size.
The black-haired boy lowered his head slightly, and a strand of long black hair passed over his shoulders and cascaded down from the off-white headscarf. After Gogol stood up, the kiss, which forced him to raise his head, returned to his back and gradually entangled with Gogol's fingertips.
Gogol continues.
Unlike the bright sunshine and free wind outside the window, this kiss from Gogol is dark, damp, and filled with all kinds of negative emotions.
But his savior did not resist at all, so in the end, Gogol's kiss gradually returned to gentleness, and the hand that was originally pressing tightly on the back of Yunxi's neck gradually relaxed and moved down.
Gogol placed a feather-light kiss on Yunxi's forehead.
"Ятожехочустатьтвоеймаленькойбелойптицей."
"I'd also like to be your little white bird."
Gogol said softly.
…
This story, which begins with [The savior is born and the story begins], once ended with [There is no savior in this world].
The world briefly drove away the savior and gained its own "freedom." But soon, due to the unexpected actions of the savior and the clown, it developed an additional ending that did not belong to any future it could have reached.
The ending is this:
[The savior returned to this world, took vengeance on all the beings in the world who had wronged him with thunderous means, and returned to the Joker's side.
The Savior and the Joker spent a long time together. One day, in a church without gods or priests, the Savior agreed to the Joker's request.
In this free world, two free souls willingly bind themselves to each other.]
…
There is an additional name [Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol Yanovsky] after the spouse column on Yunxi’s panel!
Yunxi was in a good mood and did not resist Gogol's kisses. Later, when Gogol had a reaction again and she was forced to help him with her hands, she did not get angry. She did not think about why Gogol insisted on changing clothes before proposing to her, and why the owner of the clothing store and passers-by had such strange reactions.
It was not until he returned to the [Sky Casino] that Yunxi accidentally learned the truth through the omnipotent Internet.
Yunxi was looking at the picture of [Russian 18th century bridal wedding attire] in the post and got into a rage.
After the barbecue, Yunxi slowly asked a question.
He had known for a long time that there was something wrong with the dress, but how could it be a wedding dress?
Damn Kolya! This time he really got the upper hand!
"It's too bullying for Kolya to just wear a clown costume! Next time! Next time I will definitely find a way to make Kolya wear a wedding dress!" Yunxi said firmly.
Sigma on the side said: "...I support Yunxi's idea, but Yunxi, can you please take your hand back first?"
Yunxi immediately asked: "Huh? Sigma, how did you know that this was the wedding ring Kolya gave me?"
Sigma:.
He doesn't want to know.
Also, why does Yunxi keep showing off? Why not kick Yunxi out and let her show off to Fyodor?
After all, although Fyodor is terrifying, he is always polite.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Fyodor:?
PS: You can see the outfit from Xiao Yunxi’s character card! This is the bridal gown!
In fact, Xiao Yunxi quite likes this dress, but only before she knows what its attributes are hahahaha
As for why Guozi didn’t dress like the one on the right when proposing, it might be because Guozi knew Yunxi would drool at his outfit and say “I want to eat lamb skewers”. But after this important occasion, Guozi can wear it!
[Orange Heart] There will be additional updates at 12 noon after the National Day [Sprinkle Flowers]
