200: Chapter 200: The Bride Rushed Out Herself?
As soon as the request for the wedding poem was made by the bride’s family, the three roommates whom Xiao Fei had invited to act as his support instantly exchanged helpless glances with him.
“Brother Xiao, we’re afraid we can’t help you with this one.”
“Agreed, agreed.
I don’t know anything about this wedding poem – the only thing I know is ‘survi—'”
“Shut up!”
Laughing mischievously, the three guys stepped aside, leaving Xiao Fei exposed at the front.
Everyone in the house turned their gaze toward him.
The relatives of the bride’s side, who were eting Xiao Fei for the first ti, couldn’t hide their expressions of admiration.
“Handso Xiao, Talented Xiao, surely you won’t fail to deliver?”
Zhang Tiantian teased with a grin.
Today was a special occasion, one of the few tis she could afford to joke around with Xiao Fei.
Under normal circumstances, constrained by Xiao Fei’s status, although Zhang Tiantian wouldn’t deliberately network with him, she wouldn’t dare to be this playful either.
Xiao Fei didn’t mind.
Was a wedding poem really that big of a challenge?
He had already considered this aspect while preparing to host the traditional wedding ceremony.
“A wedding poem, is it?”
“That’s correct!”
“And it can’t be sothing written by an ancient poet.
It has to be original, right?”
“Exactly!”
Su Qingyan watched Xiao Fei’s calm and composed deanor, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Could he really write a wedding poem spontaneously?
Who would’ve thought?
Xiao Fei suddenly snapped his fingers.
The staff from the event planning company accompanying them surprisingly pulled out a set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from who-knows-where, neatly laying them out on a table in the living room and quickly preparing the ink.
“Whoa, going all out, aren’t we?”
The bride’s relatives were intrigued.
They had originally assud Xiao Fei would recite sothing; they hadn’t expected him to write it on the spot!
Writing it live was far more challenging than just reciting it.
Anyone with poor penmanship wouldn’t dare to perform in public – doing so would only bring embarrassnt.
As they watched Xiao Fei, anticipation filled the room.
Xiao Fei grasped the writing brush and took a deep breath.
This was the first ti he was showcasing his calligraphy skills since acquiring the “Arts of the Four Accomplishnts” skill from the system.
The mont the brush was in his hand, an unprecedented sense of familiarity coursed through his body.
Then, Xiao Fei began writing in one fluid motion…
Newly adorned, she sits in her fragrant boudoir, willow’s grace, oriole’s charm, the spring moon aglow.
None could rival her, not blossoms nor peach blossoms’ joy.
Before the mirror’s bloom, even moonlight shies to show.
Once Xiao Fei finished writing, Wu Tongtong imdiately leaned in, reading the wedding poem aloud for everyone.
“What’s this young man’s poem about?”
“Hmm…
uh…
can’t quite understand it, but it seems pretty impressive!”
So of the older folks didn’t fully grasp Xiao Fei’s words, but Wu Tongtong, excellent in academics, quickly understood after rereading it a few tis.
She looked at Xiao Fei with admiration on her face.
“Brother!
You’re amazing!
Did you really write this yourself?”
“Of course.”
Xiao Fei raised an eyebrow.
Wu Tongtong, like presenting a treasure, recited the poem again and then declared loudly, “Let explain it to everyone.”
“The poem ans: The bride should quickly finish her makeup in her boudoir.
Her beauty will blossom like the grace of spring’s willow and the charm of oriole under the season’s romantic moonlight.
Neither lotus nor peach blossoms can compare.
Even the mirror’s bloom blushes, while the moon shies away from the bride’s stunning beauty.”
Ah, I see…
With Wu Tongtong’s explanation, the poem’s aning finally dawned on so of the listeners.
Su Qingyan opened her mouth, then sighed in resignation.
“I admit defeat!”
“Talented Xiao, you can even compose poetry?”
On the side, Wang Lu took out her phone and searched Xiao Fei’s poem on the web but couldn’t find it.
It seed this truly was Xiao Fei’s original creation.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Fei’s wedding poem wasn’t particularly extraordinary.
Compared to the creative geniuses of ancient poetry, it undoubtedly fell short.
If a learned scholar were to critique, they’d point out several flaws…
For instance, the repetition of the word “moon” in both the second and fourth lines was sowhat redundant.
But in this day and age, few could achieve anything like this.
Everyone clearly wasn’t planning to ask Xiao Fei for another wedding poem.
Su Qingyan held the wedding poem delicately, gracefully walked into the bridal chamber.
Sitting on the bed, Tang Yuxin’s eyes lit up as the door opened, but upon seeing Su Qingyan, she imdiately puffed out her cheeks.
“Why is it you?”
“Of course, it’s !
You’re already this eager?”
“Here, take a look at sothing good.
Your Handso Xiao wrote you this wedding poem.”
Tang Yuxin took the poem, and though she was a university teacher—not of the Chinese literature departnt—she read it a couple of tis and understood its aning.
A light blush spread across Tang Yuxin’s cheeks.
“Where’s my husband?”
“Still outside, being blocked.”
“Don’t block him anymore!
Let him co in already!”
“No way, no way, Yuxin!
You’re so beautiful; it’d be too much of a sha to let him whisk you away just like that…”
“Ahhhh!
I don’t care anymore!”
Tang Yuxin waited and waited for Xiao Fei, but he didn’t co.
She couldn’t wait any longer.
In a burst of motion, she sprang off the bed, opened the door, and dashed out with quick steps.
“Husband…!!!”
In front of everyone, Tang Yuxin threw herself straight into Xiao Fei’s arms.
The crowd:
“…?????”
What’s going on?
Why did the bride co out on her own?
Xiao Fei couldn’t help but laugh at Tang Yuxin.
He held her close and said softly, “Why didn’t you wait a little longer?
I was just about to co in.”
“I didn’t want to wait anymore…”
Having dashed out, Tang Yuxin suddenly felt shy as she realized that both families were staring at her.
anwhile, Xiao Fei tilted Tang Yuxin’s face upward.
Upon seeing her makeup today, his breathing halted.
She was stunning!
He couldn’t think of a proper way to describe Tang Yuxin dressed up for today.
Even the legendary beauties who graced ancient courts wouldn’t compare.
“You little rascal, we weren’t actually planning to keep Xiao Fei outside.
Originally, Su was going to have Xiao Fei play the zither for us at your bedroom door to treat us to so music.”
Mrs.
Tang comnted teasingly.
Tang Yuxin felt bashful and buried her head in Xiao Fei’s chest, staying silent.
At this mont, Tang Dingyuan laughed heartily and said, “Alright, alright!
Since the bride has already co out, let’s escort her to the car!”
Imdiately, Xiao Fei turned around and hoisted Tang Yuxin onto his back.
Tang Yuxin instinctively threw her arms around Xiao Fei’s neck.
As she inhaled the familiar scent of her groom, Tang Yuxin took a deep breath.
Burying her face in Xiao Fei’s neck, she closed her eyes.
At this mont.
Tang Yuxin felt an unparalleled sense of security and happiness.
Soon, she would officially beco Xiao Fei’s wife.
The days ahead would only grow more blissful.
And now.
The two turned toward the wedding car.
Feeling the bashful warmth of the person on his back, Xiao Fei’s lips curved into a gentle smile.
“Alright, wife, let’s set off!”
“Mm-mm!”
Tang Yuxin responded sweetly.
