After Being Scummed – Chapter 95
by Little PandaExtra Chapter Two: Wedding 2
To meet you in this life, is incomparable.
Since they were going to hold a wedding, then the wedding dress was the main event1. The next day, Yin Bai had her assistant contact Zuo Jingyou’s favorite wedding dress designer2, and had the other party design several sets of wedding dresses for the two of them.
As for the wedding photos, they could be taken while wearing haute couture. Therefore, for the entire month of August, Yin Bai took Zuo Jingyou and the two children flying everywhere, traveling to the most beautiful domestic and international scenic spots of the season to shoot several sets of wedding photos.
This was the first time Yin Bai had done this kind of thing, and she acted very excited throughout the entire process. Zuo Jingyou was very indulgent towards her “young” lover, almost granting her every request. The two of them took wedding photos during the day and discussed the details of the wedding at night, and in this way, August passed in a tense yet fulfilling manner.
Zuo Jingyou and Yin Bai’s first wedding was held in a small town abroad with beautiful scenery sometime in September.
That small town had a long history, with a particularly famous ancient castle and church, possessing an incomparable sacred atmosphere.
When Yin Bai was scouting locations, the moment she entered the church, a sudden impulse arose: I want to exchange vows with my beloved to protect each other for the rest of our lives in this place.
Just for this, she set this place as the venue for the wedding.
After celebrating Zuo Jingyou’s birthday, they held the wedding on September 17th.
On this day, the bright sun was high in the sky, with a gentle breeze and beautiful sun. Sunlight passed through the church’s stained-glass windows and fell upon the spacious interior of the church, a field of brilliance.
Inside the bright church, a straight red carpet was laid out from the church entrance all the way to the front of the pastor who was conducting the marriage ceremony.
On both sides of the red carpet, only some close relatives and friends were standing in rows.
Without the harassment of the media, without the grand publicity of reporters, it was just a wedding belonging only to two people in love, under the gaze of the divine and the witness of relatives and friends.
When the pastor announced that the newlyweds were ready to enter, Yin Bai stood up from her seat with her cane and stood at the beginning of the red carpet waiting for Zuo Jingyou.
Zuo Jingyou, wearing a pure white wedding dress, walked gracefully toward Yin Bai amidst the applause of her relatives and friends, and took her arm.
Under everyone’s gaze, Zuo Jingyou held Yin Bai’s slightly trembling hand and asked her softly: “Are you nervous?”
“A little.” Yin Bai nodded, her expression slightly uneasy.
Zuo Jingyou chuckled lightly, rubbed her hand, and looked up at her, saying: “Me tooโฆ but as long as I think of you being here, I’m not so nervous anymore.”
Yin Bai was a little surprised. She looked up and glanced quickly at Zuo Jingyou, and seeing that she had already lowered her gaze to look ahead, she relaxed a little.
Just then, the pastor announced the entrance of the newlyweds.
The wedding march that Yin Bai had specially custom-made for Zuo Jingyou slowly began to play in the church. In this beautiful and pleasant music, Zuo Jingyou supported Yin Bai, letting her walk step by step to the pastor with her cane.
Perhaps the music was too sentimental, but Yin Bai’s eyes reddened halfway there. She turned her head to look at Zuo Jingyou, and likewise saw a pair of reddened eyes.
The two looked at each other, both feeling a little like laughing. Zuo Jingyou then squeezed her hand, comforting her and silently telling her3: “Don’t cry.”
But it seems that as long as one is marrying the person they love, the main characters at the wedding scene can’t help but cry.
This is simply an unbearable thing.
Therefore, when the two walked before the pastor, Yin Bai was already crying with teary eyes.
Zuo Jingyou looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, raised her hand and used her thumb to wipe away her tears for her, saying helplessly: “Why do you love to cry so much, ah, are you a mermaid4 with so many tears?”
Yin Bai sniffled, letting out a crying hiccup: “I can’tโฆ can’t help it, you seeโฆ waahโฆ”
As soon as the words were finished, Yin Bai’s tears fell in large drops again.
Zuo Jingyou sighed, gently wiping away the tears while looking at her lovingly and saying: “You’re crying so hard, it makes me feel like I’m some kind of bully forcing you to marry me and come home, you know.”
“Who said it, who said it, who said you’re a bully!” Who said it! Nonsense, their Teacher Zuo is clearly the gentlest person in the world!
Yin Bai retorted while crying, her voice becoming sticky from the tears.
No, she wants to get married, get married quickly.
Saying this, she didn’t care that she was still crying, and turned her head to urge the pastor to proceed with the ceremony. Seeing the situation, the pastor pushed up his presbyopic glasses and began to recite the vows.
The pastor said a line, and Yin Bai followed, repeating a line while whimpering. By the time Zuo Jingyou answered “I do,” Yin Bai had already cried herself into a little calico cat5.
She answered through crying hiccups, her face covered in tears: “I do.”
The pastor began to have them exchange rings.
The student Zuo Ruotong (Tongtong) dressed up like a beautiful little fairy, made her grand entrance at this moment, holding the ring box.
Under everyone’s gaze, the little girl raised her head and puffed out her chest, striding proudly towards her partner and mother.
She solemnly presented the ring box to the two newlyweds, then took out a handkerchief, sighed at Yin Bai who was crying with a tear-streaked face, and said: “Sigh, today is such a happy day, ah, how can you cry like this, my friend.”
As she spoke, she had Yin Bai lower her head, unfolded the handkerchief to wipe away her tears for her, and mumbled besides: “Mama’s fingers are going to get wrinkled from your tears.”
Yin Bai blinked, looking at her little partner with reddened eyes, and said: “She’s wearing gloves!”
White ones, such thick gloves! Her tears can’t seep through!
The little girl sighed, looking at her sorrowfully and saying: “That can still happen, today is a happy day, ah, you must be happy, and welcome it blissfully.”
Yin Bai blinked, nodded, and said: “Mm.”
Tongtong finished wiping her tears, placed the ring box in front of her, and said seriously like a little adult: “Then hurry up and put the ring on Mama!”
“Fairy Sister, you and Mama must be very, very happy, okay!”
After hearing this, Yin Bai and Zuo Jingyou tacitly bent down to hug Tongtong, and said softly: “We will, we will be happy together.”
After Yin Bai finished speaking, she took the ring belonging to Zuo Jingyou. Seeing Zuo Jingyou take off her glove and hand it to Tongtong, she lifted her hand, and tremblingly yet firmly pushed the ring onto the root of Zuo Jingyou’s ring finger.
After completing this ritual, Yin Bai lowered her eyes, her eyes filled with tears, and said in a choked voice: “Zuo Jingyou, welcome to my planet.”
Zuo Jingyou smiled faintly. She took the other ring and, with the same reverence, placed it on Yin Bai’s hand.
After doing all this, Zuo Jingyou held Yin Bai’s hand and said firmly yet gently: “Thank you for descending upon my desert, becoming a well, and irrigating an oasis.”
“Yin Bai, I am on your planet.”
Yin Bai cried again.
When the pastor said they could kiss, she put her arms around Zuo Jingyou, kissing her while whimpering. The two exchanged tears, using love to transform the tears into sweet honey.
At this moment, applause erupted. All the relatives and friends were moved by their meeting.
Zhang Yu, who had witnessed the entire wedding, cried into a little calico cat just like Yin Bai amidst the applause.
She reached out to wrap an arm around Jin Xiangyu’s shoulder, and amidst the beautiful music and enthusiastic applause, said while crying and laughing: “It wasn’t easy, ah, it wasn’t easy, ahโฆ Our family’s boss is finally married offโฆ wuwuwuwuwuโฆ I’m so happyโฆ Mama feels like she can eat three big bowls todayโฆ”
Jin Xiangyu looked back, and seeing her expression like that of an old mother marrying off her son, said, amused and speechless: “Is it that seriousโฆ such a look of finally marrying off your daughter.”
Zhang Yu looked up, and through Jin Xiangyu’s eyes, tearfully saw her own reddened, tear-filled, and equally gratified appearance, and exposed her without hesitation: “And you’re talking about me, aren’t you also like this, you see.”
As Zhang Yu spoke, she hung on Jin Xiangyu’s body again, crying wuwu.
While crying, she said: “Boss, Mama’s good big son, you must be happy, ah.”
Jin Xiangyu reached out and tapped her on the head, reminding her: “If you let the boss hear that, this year’s year-end bonus will be gone!”
“It’s fine, she won’t do anything over a couple of remarks. Wuwuwu, this is so tear-jerking, lovers finally become family, so tear-jerkingโฆ I’m so moved, I can eat three bowls!”
Of course, at the wedding banquet that night, Zhang Yu did not eat three big bowls, but she did drink three big bottles.
She drank too much, her whole person clinging onto Yin Bai, crying and laughing: “Wuwuwuwuโฆ bossโฆ in the futureโฆ if Teacher Zuo bullies you, just come back to your parents’ home and find me, ah.”
“I’ll still take you out to have fun, to listen to plays, to travel, to your house that faces the sea, with spring warmth and blooming flowers6โฆ”
Yin Bai was very moved to hear this, but still pushed her away in disgust, comforting her by saying: “Alright, alright, I know, I willโฆ”
Before Yin Bai could finish being moved, Zhang Yu howled and hugged her again, saying very sadly: “BOSSโฆ Mama’s good big sonโฆ now that you’re married, live a good lifeโฆ don’t be dramatic anymoreโฆ”
Yin Bai instantly clenched her fists, thinking, hurry up and give me back my feelings of being moved, you mixed egg!7
She glared resentfully at Zhang Yu, looked towards the onlooking Jin Xiangyu, and said indignantly: “What are you looking at, hurry up and pull your colleague off of me, ah!”
Jin Xiangyu couldn’t stop laughing, but she still restrained her smile and said in a very proper and serious manner: “Yes, BOSS.”
She reached out to wrap an arm around Zhang Yu’s waist, propped her up, and led her away amidst her struggles.
Before leaving, Jin Xiangyu turned her head and said with a smile: “BOSS, you must be happy, ah!”
Yin Bai waved her hand and said with a smile: “Of course I will be, ah!”
Just think about it, who is the person spending the rest of her life with her, that’s Zuo Jingyou, hey!
The banquet continued until the early morning before Yin Bai and Zuo Jingyou returned to tonight’s bridal chamber. Yin Bai particularly liked the way Zuo Jingyou looked in a wedding dress, and taking advantage of today being a great joyous occasion, she had Zuo Jingyou put it on again after she finished showering.
Zuo Jingyou was particularly helpless, but still indulged her, saying: “You like it that much, huh? Then I’ll wear it for you every night in the future?”
Yin Bai pressed down on her, saying with a grin: “There’s no need to wear a wedding dress every night, occasionally we can also change into some other outfits, ahโฆ like what bunny girl, ah, witch, ah, and the likeโฆ”
Zuo Jingyou bit her lip, enduring the force she had just applied, and said delicately and softly: “Truly a dirty adultโฆ”
“Hee hee, but we’re married, you know, now that we’re married you can’t get rid of me, you knowโฆ”
Just as the two were boisterously spending their wedding night, on the other half of the Earth in their home country, pictures of the two’s wedding were also released at a scheduled time.
Zuo Jingyou posted a Weibo: “I want to see the magnificent glaciers with you, see the majestic mountains, the beautiful peaks and valleys, the vast rivers and seasโฆ I want to spend my whole life with you, pursuing all romantic thingsโฆ To meet you in this life, is incomparable.”
At the same time, she also attached a nine-square grid8 of photos from their wedding.
That day, all the CP fans on Weibo went crazy. Besides crazily admiring their beauty9, everyone also quickly switched their allegiance back10 to Yin Bai. What red and white roses, they’re all heretical ships!11 The overbearing CEO and her delicate wife is the one true pairing!12
Yin Bai finally received the official pairing treatment she deserved.
Waking up the next day, Yin Bai saw everyone so enthusiastically shipping her and Zuo Jingyou’s CP, and that damn desire to win came back again. She put her arm around Zuo Jingyou and said, as if acting spoiled: “Teacher Zuo, Teacher Zuo, let’s hold a wedding once every year from now on, okay!”
Zuo Jingyou leaned helplessly in her arms, turned her head to look at Yin Bai: “Do I now feel like I might be getting a bit old?”
Yin Bai blinked, and said uncomprehendingly: “Why do you say that, ah?”
Zuo Jingyou raised her hand, pinched her cheek and said very seriously: “Because my lover is truly too fond of making a fuss, so much so that I feel as if I’m dating a high school student who is only in her teens, and my heart is full of worldly weariness.”
Yin Bai stared at her blankly, pouting her lips a little aggrievedly: “So what you mean is no, then?”
Zuo Jingyou sighed and said helplessly: “Forget it, forget it, since you want to make a fuss, then do as you please. Whether it’s one wedding, or two weddings, as long as it’s a wedding between me and you, it’s fine.”
Yin Bai was overjoyed, and immediately pounced on Zuo Jingyou like a big dog, letting out an awoo and saying: “Yay! Then I want you to be the bride every night, and not get out of bed every day!”
The corners of Zuo Jingyou’s mouth held a smile as she wrapped one arm around her head. Her fingers passed through Yin Bai’s thick black hair as she looked up towards the window, where there was a view of blue sky and white clouds, a bright and beautiful autumn day.
The author has something to say:
Welcome to my planet, Comrade13 Pilot!
By the time you landed, I was already on your planet.
Ah, happy!
Let’s write a few more little extras and then finish it, I suppose!
(I’m truly something, this year’s me is so diligent, ah!)
