They had agreed for Zhou Yun to come over at noon. No one had thought the day would pass so quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was already the second day of the New Year. In the afternoon, Zhou Yun hurried to the Han residence.

The news of Xia Sisi’s arrest and fighting with her boyfriend had broken out. There was also information about her being in a drug scandal and it spread very quickly in an unpleasant manner. Fortunately, Han Cheng greeted the media in advance and several portal websites had very little to say, only disclosing some small details. The details did not implicate Han Cheng and Xia Tian. The people who ate melons¹“People who eat melons” is an online term, which refers to people who post to discuss issues in online forums, line up to follow up, and chat without margins, because their common expressions are “sell melon seeds in the front row” and “eat melon seeds in the front row.” In 2016, some people referred to ordinary netizens who “don’t speak but just watch” as “people who eat melons”, which is used to express a state of nothing to do with their own affairs, no opinions and just watching. only knew about Xia Sisi’s boyfriend because of some Hong Kong stars. Not many people knew Xia Sisi, and most people didn’t even know that he was dating Xia Sisi.

“The drug matter was barely clarified, but the matter of hitting people couldn’t be washed away. She and her friends were too violent. The model’s face was beaten blue-black and their arms needed stitches… and because of this, the models were extremely angry. They bit her back and sucked…” Zhou Yun had been very annoyed about this for the past two days, “It wasn’t easy to make things clear, but her reputation has gone down.”

Ruan Sihe continued harshly, “Heh, Chairman Yan has been trying to find Xia Sisi a perfect man for the past few years. Now everyone in the circle knows that she is abusive and may have that kind of addiction. Chairman Yan’s wishful thinking is estimated to be in vain.”

These days, Yan Lihua had been rushing around, when there was an illness and any doctor would do²(Actual phrase:病急乱投医) It is a metaphor for asking people everywhere or thinking about a solution when things become an emergency.. After asking Han Cheng for help, she called Ruan Sihe to help suppress the news. Ruan Sihe had never looked fondly on Xia Sisi’s domineering attitude. She didn’t allow Yan Lihua to say more than two words and used an excuse to hang up the phone. She then went upstairs to convince Xia Tian, who was together with Han Cheng in the small study room, to switch off his phone.

“In the new year, husbands finally have time to be together, be purified.” Ruan Sihe said.

Zhou Yun sighed. “Chairman Yan’s face was terrifying in the past two days. She was prepared to send Xia Sisi abroad for a few years after resolving this matter, and when everyone had forgotten, she’d bring her back. Xia Sisi put up a huge fuss after hearing about it and argued that she would never leave. New Year’s Eve… the house was full of troubles.”

Ruan Sihe snorted. “They deserve it.”

Han Cheng sat quietly on the side, without saying a word, but in between Ruan Sihe and Zhou Yun’s conversations, he softly warned Xia Tian with a few sentences. “Have you heard that? Taking drugs and having fights, the consequences are serious.”

Xia Tian hurriedly showed his loyalty. “I definitely won’t.”

Han Cheng was barely satisfied and nodded.

Zhou Yun sighed a few more times and apologised, “It’s really… Telling you these things during the new year.”

Ruan Sihe, who had loved gossiping all her life, shook her head. “It’s okay, don’t worry, this hasn’t affected my New Year’s mood at all. In the future, if your mother-in-law and sister-in-law encounter any bad luck, you must call and tell me. I’ll drive to pick you up and have a good chat.”

Xia Tian puffed out a laugh. Zhou Yun glanced at him strangely and Xia Tian quickly adjusted his posture.

Zhou Yun looked at Ruan Sihe and said with a smile, “Yesterday, when I called Han Cheng, he had already told me about their wedding…”

Ruan Sihe instantly understood. She sat next to Zhou Yun and replied happily, “You already know? I was just about to tell you. I planned Han Cheng’s wedding very early, but it was a pity that he didn’t cooperate at that time, but it’s okay. Having it now is still the same…”

…

In the next few days of the year, they were immersed in unrealistic wedding theme ideas from Ruan Sihe.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Han Cheng and Xia Tian bid goodbye to Zhou Yun and returned to their home to measure their sizes and order the suits.

Han Cheng liked the auspicious signs of the “marital love” at this private tailor shop. In addition to the suits, he also ordered a few casual clothes and pyjamas for Xia Tian and himself.

“The size has already been measured, so what if I order a few more pieces?” Han Cheng watched as the tailor’s assistant measured Xia Tian, and exclaimed, “The pyjamas made for him don’t need to fit too well, and the styles don’t need to be new but should be comfortable. “

The assistant hurriedly replied, “Okay, okay, I’ll prepare it for you in a moment.”

Xia Tian’s heart turned sweet. However, when Han Cheng went to see the fabric samples, he turned his head and whispered quickly to the assistant, “Don’t listen to him. Try to accentuate my figure as much as possible. My shoulders are a bit narrow. Please try to show them as if they are broad, as much as possible. Do you… understand what I mean?”

The little assistant scolded this pair of show-loving dog men secretly, and his face remained assiduous. “Understood, I’ll also prepare it for you and I’ll try my best to meet your requirements.”

“Thank you.” Xia Tian smiled with satisfaction, listening to the assistant’s response, raising his head and his hand to be measured.

However, this little action was still discovered by Han Cheng. In front of outsiders, Han Cheng would not refute Xia Tian’s opinion, but after the people in the tailor shop had left, he lightly mocked, “You will be stripped off when you go to bed. What’s the use of wearing pyjamas that show off your shoulder width?”

At that moment, Xia Tian turned into a cockscomb flower³https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/cockscomb/growing-cockscomb-flowers.htm in embarrassment.

Half a month later, the fixed pyjamas and suits were sent over first. That night, Xia Tian grudgingly said that he would not take off his pyjamas. Han Cheng laughed in a heated manner, bowed his head and kissed his hand. He whispered, “If you won’t take it off, how should I kiss you?”

Xia Tian’s concentration was too poor, and he was instantly bewitched by Han Cheng’s deep voice.

Han Cheng grinned at the corner of his mouth and slowly discussed, “Otherwise, let’s take a step back and tear a hole in the middle of your trousers? Just like a child’s clothes…hmph…”

Xia Tian couldn’t bear to stop gangster Han’s mouth. With a blushing face, he took off his pyjamas that were “very good-looking”.

…

After another half a month, their wedding suits arrived. This time, the Italian master who made the suits personally came. After seeing the two of them trying on their suits, he made some minor changes.

School had started a long time ago. In order to not be in the bottom ten during the mid-term exam, he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground causing sand to fly and rocks to roll⁴Describe the wind to be very strong. all day long. He hurriedly tried on the clothes and expressed his gratitude to the Italian master, and conveniently mentioned if he could accentuate his shoulders a little bit more.

Xia Tian’s English could only be said to be improvised. In Italian, he could only say “hello” and “we welcome you to come again next time”. He was sweating when he tried to explain this.

Fortunately, the master nodded repeatedly, expressing that he understood. Xia Tian’s ears turned red, and he said to Han Cheng in Mandarin, “I’m going up to read. Don’t wait for me to leave and tell him not to modify it, but do it according to my opinion!”

Han Cheng was stunned and smiled. “If I don’t say… Are there any benefits?”

The redness on Xia Tian’s ears slowly spread to his neck. Aunt Li went to pour tea, and there was a foreigner in the room. He vaguely said, “What… what you said last night, I… I promise, okay?”

A touch of contentment flashed in Han Cheng’s eyes, and he nodded. “Okay.”

After all, Han Cheng looked at the Italian master and said, “Just follow what he said just now, thank you.”

The Italian master opened his mouth and spoke in fluent Mandarin, “Don’t worry, it’ll be done as requested.”

Xia Tian, “…”

Xia Tian grumbled as he went up the stairs to read.

Time flew by with wedding preparations and an increasing amount of schoolwork. After more than ten days, Han Cheng and Xia Tian’s suits, accessories and leather shoes were all in place. The day they arrived, Han Cheng tried it on with Xia Tian. Looking at the two dressed up in the mirror, Han Cheng commented, “It is made in heaven.”

Xia Tian cheeky replied, “It isn’t!”

Han Cheng smiled.

When the long winter finally passed and spring blossomed, the wedding day of the two had arrived.

On the day of the wedding, Han Cheng woke Xia Tian when it was dark. He got up earlier than usual. When Xia Tian opened his eyes, he found that Han Cheng was already sitting on the bedside, watching him quietly. He wasn’t sure how long he had been watching him.

Xia Tian rubbed his eyes. “It’s… It’s only five o’clock, how many hours did you sleep?”

“It’s okay, even if I don’t sleep, I’ll still look good after a while.” Han Cheng bowed his head and kissed Xia Tian’s forehead, “I just wanted to look at you for a bit longer.”

Xia Tian’s eyes suddenly became a little red.

He was afraid of being discovered by Han Cheng, and asked with a smile. “Just looking… you didn’t steal a kiss?”

“I was thinking about it, but was afraid of waking you up.” Han Cheng smiled, “I’m afraid that I can’t control myself. It wouldn’t be just kissing… What if I delay today’s wedding?”

Xia Tian laughed.

This person could hardly be even better.

The two got up together, took a shower, ate breakfast, changed into their suits, and styled their hair together.

On the way to the hotel where the wedding was held, Han Cheng shook Xia Tian’s hand. He felt his fingers tremble and joked softly, “After getting out of this car, you can’t regret it.”

Xia Tian widened his eyes and said anxiously, “Shouldn’t it be that I can’t regret since a long time ago?!”

Han Cheng smiled and nodded. “Yes, since a long time ago, you can’t.”

As early as in the study at home, when Han Cheng signed his name on Xia Tian’s report card, he had no regrets.

As early as in the resort hotel, when Xia Tian threw the billiard cue at Han Cheng in a fit of anger, he had no regrets.

Han Cheng solemnly said in a low voice, “Baby… The luckiest thing for me in these years is to be liked by you.”

Thank you for being willing to be in my life.
