Chapter 288: Chapter 284: Xiao Chenye: You Don’t Understand, This Is Mutual Pursuit

The next day was the wedding, and Xiao Chenye couldn’t sleep at all. In the middle of the night, he shook Xiao Chengguang awake and pulled him to sit in the courtyard and chat.

Xiao Chengguang: "..."

Sitting in the courtyard, he had a tragic expression, looking as if he wanted to die.

"Hehehe," Xiao Chenye was already completely ignited, "Bro, you might not realize how long I’ve been waiting for this day."

He danced with excitement, "Really, I’ve been dreaming of marrying Ranran home.

Sometimes, I even thank the heavens. When they assigned the teams, it was really the heavens sending me my destined love.

Hehehe, you know?

There’s no stopping it. How could it be such a coincidence?"

Xiao Chengguang numbly said, "I don’t know if this destined love was given to you by the heavens.

But I do know, if your bro doesn’t go back to sleep, he might just drop dead right here.

Then, the heavens will take me back.

I was already severely injured and need to properly recuperate. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But no, you drag me out in the middle of the night to have a heart-to-heart, I really want to smack you, never thought you’d be so unreliable.

How come as you age, you get more and more out of touch?"

Xiao Chenye gulped, staring blankly.

Seeing Xiao Chenye silent, Xiao Chengguang didn’t care, waving his hand, "I know you’re happy, but even if you’re happy, make sure to get some rest.

Otherwise, how will you have the energy to greet the bride tomorrow?"

He leaned on the stone table, slowly standing up, "I won’t talk to you anymore, need to go catch some sleep first."

Xiao Chenye weakly said, "Bro, you might not be able to catch any sleep."

Xiao Chengguang: "?"

He was bewildered, until a hand rested on his shoulder.

Xiao Chengguang’s heart skipped a beat.

Then, Mrs. Xiao’s voice came through.

"Hehehe, Xiao Chengguang, oh Xiao Chengguang, you’re really something.

I was saying, usually you’re so busy that you’re hard to catch.

Now it’s fitting, Fifth Brother is getting married, and you’ve taken half a month off, what are you up to?

Was puzzled before, but now your mother fully understands."

If looks could kill, Xiao Chenye would’ve been diced by now.

Xiao Chengguang glared fiercely, mouthing: ’Brat, when I get free from mother, you’re dead.’

Xiao Chenye: "..."

Considering the consequences, Xiao Chenye very unscrupulously opened his mouth, completely selling out Xiao Chengguang.

"Mom, he threatened me."

"Shut up!"

Mrs. Xiao yelled, "You’re no good either, colluding with your brother.

If I hadn’t happened to hear today, were you planning to hide this from me with him?"

This retort was too sharp, leaving Xiao Chenye scared to even make a sound.

Smiling awkwardly, "Mom, it’s no big deal."

Xiao Chengguang hurriedly added, "Exactly, mom, I’m back safe and sound, right?"

"Shut up!"

Mrs. Xiao was fuming, her chest heaving, "I was wondering why you returned and could stay so long.

Turns out, it’s because you were so injured you had to come home to recover.

You, boy, really opened your mother’s eyes."

Getting scolded like a grandson by her, Xiao Chengguang dared not make a peep.

Dragging Xiao Chengguang back inside, Mrs. Xiao intended to check his injuries.

Moreover, give this boy who doesn’t cherish his life a good talking-to.

Xiao Chenye wanted to follow them inside, but as soon as he reached the door, Mrs. Xiao slammed it in his face. "What are you doing here? The wedding’s tomorrow, shouldn’t you go back and sleep, rest up?

If tomorrow you’re next to Ranran looking like an eighty-year-old dad, see if your mother doesn’t beat you to death."

Mrs. Xiao was truly furious, reaching explosive levels of anger.

It was indiscriminate scolding.

After scolding her son, Mrs. Xiao slammed the door shut.

Xiao Chenye scratched his head at the door, innocently thinking, no matter how skilled his mother was at dealing with people, she couldn’t possibly be ruthless enough to hurt someone already injured, right???

At most, she’d just nag a bit. He came home once in a blue moon, even wanting to be nagged didn’t have the chance.

So, there was nothing to worry about.

Leaving the stage to his mom, he needed to go back and get some good sleep, conserve energy.

Rested and refreshed, he could greet Ranran with full spirit tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chenye hummed happily as he returned to his room.

The nearby Xiao Chenxing, who got up for the bathroom: "..."

Crazy, completely crazy.

The next day, bright and early, Xiao Chenye woke up before the rooster.

Everyone else was groggy-eyed, stepping out to see Xiao Chenye already dressed to the nines, looking sharp and neat.

He stood in the courtyard, smiling, "Everyone is awake, since you’re up, don’t just stand around.

Quickly tidy up this courtyard, decorate it thoroughly, we’re about to greet the bride."

About to go?

Everyone looked up bewildered, glancing at the still dark sky, somewhat numbed, "Xiao Chenye, don’t force me to slap you on this beautiful day.

At this hour, what bride are you greeting?"

Xiao Chenxing nodded, yawning, sleepily, "Second sister is right, at this time, knowing Sister Ranran, she’s probably still asleep."

Xiao Chenye confidently said, "No way!"

He lifted his head, proudly declared, "Ranran and I have a mutual love!

I love her, she loves me too.

On such an exciting day, how could she still be in bed? You little girl, don’t understand love, so don’t talk nonsense, okay?"

Xiao Chenxing: "......"

Her silence was deafening.

Though she didn’t know where her Fifth Brother got this idea.

But anyway, as long as he’s happy.

In the end, life is about being blissfully unaware.

Being too serious about everything is too tiring.

Being carefree is pretty good too.

Xiao Chenxing: "Hehe."

Meanwhile.

At the Wen family.

Bao Wenxuan and Hongguo had already gotten up, completely washed and ready.

The two exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled and a bit at a loss, "What to do?"

"I don’t know."

"Then, should we be forceful?"

"Better not."

Hongguo was apprehensive, "My sister has a pretty bad temper when waking up. If the two of us try to wake her up forcibly, one slap from her, and we won’t dare show our faces today."

Bao Wenxuan: "?"

She was momentarily stunned, stammering, "Really, no way?"

Hongguo sighed, pointing at the dent on the wall.

"Sister Wenxuan, come, take a closer look."

The dent had a very peculiar shape.

Like a long object had been forcefully embedded.

"What is this?"

"Speaking of which, I have to mention, the pesky fly disturbing sweet dreams."

Bao Wenxuan: "?"
