Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1175 - 1177: The Wedding (Part 4)

"What’s on your mind? Your cheeks are so red?" Pei Yicheng’s gaze stayed on Xu Nianhua in the mirror. Her skin was naturally fair, and when she blushed, it was like rouge had been applied.

"Nothing."

Xu Nianhua quickly glanced at him, then lowered her eyes again.

"Are you getting impatient?" Pei Yicheng looked at her, half-smiling.

"What?" Xu Nianhua didn’t respond immediately. When she processed it, her face flushed like a cooked shrimp. She turned away, forgetting that he was still blow-drying her hair, and his hand tugged on a lock, making her eyes well up with tears.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to." Pei Yicheng squatted down slightly, gently massaging her pained head.

Pei Yicheng kept apologizing, making Xu Nianhua feel embarrassed. She cleared her throat and said, "It’s okay, you didn’t mean to."

She pointed to a part that wasn’t dry yet, "Yicheng, this part is still wet."

"Okay."

Pei Yicheng blow-dried her hair until it was ninety percent dry. He stopped, and Xu Nianhua tossed her hair and said, "Alright, it’s all dry now."

"Then, is it time to sleep?" Pei Yicheng picked her up directly.

Xu Nianhua was startled and quickly said, "Wait, let me blow-dry a little more."

"I’ll help you later." Pei Yicheng placed her directly on the bed. Xu Nianhua hesitated, shyly saying, "Turn off the lights."

"Click."

The main light was turned off, leaving a red candle flickering, its light dancing in and out.

"The candle needs to be blown out too." Xu Nianhua made a move to get up, but Pei Yicheng blocked her, saying, "No, this is a celebration candle, it has to burn all night."

"Nianhua, are you nervous?" Pei Yicheng gently pushed her hair back, revealing her shy face. Even as he held her down, he could feel her body tense.

"No, no." Xu Nianhua didn’t know where to look.

Pei Yicheng leaned down, rubbing his nose against hers, teasing with a smile, "Last time, you said you’d be mine sooner or later and didn’t mind. Why are you nervous now?"

"I’m not." Xu Nianhua stubbornly refused to admit her nervousness. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him on the lips, and said, "I think you’re the one who’s nervous, Yicheng."

"Then let’s be nervous together."

Pei Yicheng bent down, unwilling to waste a moment.

The celebration candle flickered, dancing as if in celebration, the creaking sounds like a song, blessing the newlyweds for a long life together.

"Su Yan, why are you avoiding me?"

Li Xiuying blocked Su Yan’s path. Today, she wore a black dress that touched the ground, elegant and noble, catching the attention of many guests. But her eyes followed only Su Yan.

"Xiuying, you’re mistaken; I’ve just been... busy." Su Yan replied, unable to let his gaze fall on her, as he draped his suit jacket over her shoulders.

"It’s hot."

Li Xiuying wanted to refuse, but the jacket still carried his warmth. She couldn’t bear to let it go. She looked at Su Yan with longing eyes and said, "Then take me home."

"I’ve been drinking." Su Yan replied.

"Don’t you have a driver? You can’t expect me to catch a taxi dressed like this, right?" Li Xiuying didn’t give Su Yan a chance to refuse, directly getting into his car, saying, "Su Yan, if you don’t take me home, I’ll go find Nianhua, no, I’ll go find Aunt Su."
