Su Yang, accompanied by his 'elite groomsmen squad' temporarily assembled from a few of his old comrades-in-arms, arrived at the Yun Family Villa in high spirits.
However, what greeted him was not the eagerly awaiting, shy figure of his bride as he had imagined, but… a tightly shut, cold and unfeeling door!
And, the laughter of his 'kind and amiable' mother-in-law, Lin Meizhu, who had returned home before him!
"Oh my! My dear son-in-law!"
"It's not so easy to marry our family's excellent precious daughter!"
"According to our hometown's traditional wedding customs, you must pass three challenges to prove your sincerity and strength, only then can we rest assured and hand Xi Xi over to you!"
Lin Meizhu, along with a group of bridesmaids, used 'traditional wedding customs' as an excuse to firmly block Su Yang and his groomsmen outside the door!
An ultimate bride-fetching test, comparable to a 'triathlon', thus began!
The first challenge: Red Packet for Entry!
Lin Meizhu, from behind the door, made an exorbitant demand, requiring Su Yang to produce an entry red packet of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan, to symbolize 'long-lasting good fortune'!
Although Su Yang felt that his mother-in-law was crazy for money, today was his big day, and he couldn't ruin the atmosphere.
He could only suppress his displeasure, and had his old comrade-in-arms gather nearly one hundred thousand yuan from the prepared cash, which he then slipped through the crack in the door.
But once was not enough! As soon as Lin Meizhu's voice stopped, another bridesmaid's voice rang out… And so, for this red packet alone, Su Yang gave it several times, delaying for an unknown amount of time, and during this period, he even had a groomsman go get more money because the prepared cash was insufficient.
The second challenge: Physical Test!
The door finally opened, but what greeted him was a series of dazzling, almost perverse, high-difficulty physical games!
Things like holding an apple in his mouth while doing one hundred push-ups with one hand!
Then, carrying the fattest groomsman on his back and doing fifty squats in place… Finally, jumping rope two hundred times on a pressure plate, without interruption, or he'd have to start over!
To show his sincerity and strong physique in front of everyone, Su Yang could only grit his teeth and endure these torturous challenges one by one.
Throughout the process, although he was disheveled and drenched in sweat, he still persevered, a happy smile on his face.
The third challenge: Truth or Dare!
After enduring the extreme physical test, mental torment followed!
Lin Meizhu and the bridesmaids took out a thick stack of question cards and began bombarding Su Yang with all sorts of tricky questions about Yun Xiyue!
"Please tell me, what is the bride's favorite color?"
"Please tell me, what is the birthday of the bride's favorite anime character?"
"Please tell me, what is the food the bride dislikes the most?"
...If the first two rounds were just slow to complete.
Then this round was clearly not meant for Su Yang to complete… He was dumbfounded on the spot!
Although he and Yun Xiyue had been married for three years, let alone these daily details, the words they had exchanged combined didn't even exceed a hundred sentences!
Yun Xiyue simply didn't bother with him… How was he supposed to know the answers to these questions?
He could only rely on his pitiful guesses, making wild stabs in the dark.
The result, naturally, was… a complete mess!
This drew undisguised laughter and jeers from the bridesmaids!
Time, in this 'challenge game' full of difficulties and embarrassment, was mercilessly dragged on, minute by minute, second by second.
Su Yang's heart grew increasingly anxious and impatient… Meanwhile, in stark contrast to the lively and boisterous atmosphere outside the door.
Inside Yun Xiyue's bedroom, at this moment, there was an atmosphere filled with ambiguity.
Lu Cheng had already, without anyone noticing, slipped into this private space belonging only to the bride.
From behind, he held Yun Xiyue, dressed in her white wedding gown, in a possessive embrace.
He pressed one fervent kiss after another on her fair neck, which exuded a faint fragrance.
The two were engaged in the final, and most crucial… 'pre-battle touch-up'… After an unknown amount of time.
When Lu Cheng silently, like a phantom, climbed out of her bedroom window and left.
Yun Xiyue finally, with the help of her bridesmaid, solemnly put on the veil, a masterpiece of an international design master.
It was not a light, thin veil, but rather a beautiful and heavy fabric woven from layers of white gauze adorned with tiny, sparkling diamonds.
The magnificent white veil not only perfectly concealed the slightly hazy look in her eyes, which appeared so after being 'nourished' just now.
It also completely covered her pretty face, which was flushed with a captivating blush.
Only her cherry-red lips, exceptionally full and luscious from repeated kisses, were exposed… Outside the door.
After enduring eighty-one trials, Su Yang finally passed all the challenges!
He pushed open the bedroom door, which symbolized the end of his happiness, with a triumphant air!
The moment he first saw the bride, dressed in a white wedding gown, sitting quietly by the bed like a fairy!
His heart skipped a beat instantly!
His breathing also became a little hurried!
Although her face was obscured by the veil, her graceful figure and sacred aura still filled him with immense awe and… satisfaction!
His gaze fell upon the bride's only exposed feature, her luscious, cherry-red lips!
"Wow! Xi Xi's lipstick color is so beautiful today!"
"It makes her lips look full and tempting, I wonder what it tastes like…"
"Soon! I'll know!"
He didn't think much of it, simply attributing it to the makeup artist's superb skill, and to the joyous omen of him marrying a stunning beauty.
He could no longer contain his excitement, he quickly stepped forward, reaching out to give his 'bride' with the mysterious veil a princess carry!
But Yun Xiyue slapped his hand, then stood up and walked out herself… Although he was hit, feeling the momentary soft touch on his hand.
"Xi Xi must be impatient!"
"It's all my fault, the challenges took too long…"
"Xi Xi's pouting is quite strong…"
Su Yang followed closely beside Yun Xiyue, feeling like he was the happiest man in the world!
Under the gaze of all the Yun Family guests, filled with blessings and envy.
Su Yang, and his 'bride' Yun Xiyue, whose expression was hidden by her veil, walked out of the Yun Family's main door, step by step.
They got into the luxurious lead car that was about to drive them to the 'wedding of the century', and also to his final judgment!
"Finally, I've picked up the bride!"
"This veil feels so special, it will be so romantic when I lift it myself at the wedding!"
Next to him, beneath the veil.
Yun Xiyue's eyes were icy cold.
But the corners of her mouth, uncontrollably, curved slightly upwards as she savored the extreme experience she had just had.
"Lu Cheng… so bad…"
"But his strength is also so great…"
"I… I almost couldn't stand just now…"
