HOYSE CHAPTER 116

 Chapter 116 — Extra 7: Wedding

Netizens always felt they’d missed many of Surprise’s moments. Why did their relationship develop so rapidly? It must be because the two were too low-key, which was why they couldn’t dig out more sugar.

And netizens who hadn’t had time to watch the livestream felt even more like they’d missed a hundred million:

“I just had class today and missed the livestream. How did so many trending searches pop up all at once! What do you mean ‘this century’s last alpha,’ what do you mean ‘Rong Jing got fat,’ what do you mean ‘slipper kill,’ what do you mean ‘that kid with the hundred million from our family,’ what do you mean ‘production team terminator,’ what do you mean ‘mistaken any double a hundred times,’ what do you mean ‘ice cream memory kill,’ what do you mean ‘they’re getting married ahhhhhhh,’ what exactly happened! Can someone please tell this child!”

All trending searches related to the two and the show suddenly rushed to the rankings, with heated discussions.

“Same curiosity. There are only livestream screenshots. Those who watched the livestream are showing off, acting like they were at the scene!”

“Someone actually said Surprise is buying trending searches. Are you blind? Don’t you see these trending searches are all dropping in ranking? Have reason to suspect Jing Jing is secretly interfering. He just doesn’t want us netizens paying attention to him. But what do we do if we want to watch? Why should we remove trending searches we voluntarily pushed up?”

“Thinking of that sentence Jing Jing often says: Don’t occupy public resources. How can there be such a lovable alpha?”

“Can someone please tell me whether they’re getting married or not?”

From the hug at the awards ceremony that day, every step these two took made them feel one beat behind, with terror and surprise flying together.

During this time, netizens released a back-view photo of the two at the Pheromone Matching Center. The Heaven Match Mr. Rong and Mr. Gu listed on the official website obviously referred to them. There was also a photo from a major figure in the circle of Rong Jing waiting alone at the airport, not knowing who he was waiting for. Some said there was a flight with Gu Xi that day.

Based on these photos, everyone’s imaginations ran wild, making up various versions of their love-hate relationship.

Regarding everyone’s biggest curiosity about whether they were getting married, neither of them gave a direct response, causing netizens waiting for the show’s re-edit to be released on the platform to be utterly anxious.

After the show officially aired, Gu Xi asked Guan Hongyi out for karaoke.

Guan Hongyi watched Gu Xi guzzle bottle after bottle, feeling a bit alarmed. He advised, “I’m saying, even if it’s fruit wine, it still has alcohol content, okay? That’s about enough.”

Gu Xi drunkenly sent a WeChat message to Rong Jing, acting spoiled, and said casually, “Don’t care.”

“I can’t control you anymore. Anyway, someone can deal with you.” Guan Hongyi thought of what they’d discussed recently. “Going on the show was what you wanted all along, right? The response is great! Look at how high the heat is! Plus, aren’t people pursuing Rong Jing obviously fewer?”

Speaking of this, Gu Xi reacted strongly. “Ha, people pursuing him are fewer, but more people are waiting for us to break up. All six ABO genders too. They’re dreaming!”

“Six genders. Do they think I have three heads and six arms? How am I supposed to guard against this?”

Thinking of this aftermath, Gu Xi got angry, his blood pressure skyrocketing.

Guan Hongyi watched Gu Xi take another gulp, then as if remembering something, suddenly stopped, took out a small mirror, and touched up his blush. It didn’t make him look less drunk but more alluring.

Guan Hongyi: ??

But he quickly understood. The private room door opened. Wearing a high-end suit and looking like he’d just rushed over from a meeting, Rong Jing stood outside. Rong Jing’s breath was still slightly panting. Seeing Gu Xi limply leaning on the sofa.

Rong Jing frowned and walked over to embrace the person. Gu Xi’s eyes were seductive as silk, mumbling with a sobbing and accusatory tone, “I didn’t want to drink. He kept forcing me to...”

Saying this, he buried his head in Rong Jing’s embrace, his blushing face nuzzling, delicate and weak.

Him? Uh (⊙o⊙)...

Guan Hongyi finally realized he was being talked about. His eyes widened. What a Gu Xi Xi! Do you have no shame?!

Seeing Rong Jing’s gaze turn toward him, Guan Hongyi’s heart clenched. He said with difficulty, “I... won’t force him next time.” Awoo, this is so hard on me.

Rong Jing nodded, as a greeting. “I’ll take him back first. Let’s gather next time.”

Guan Hongyi now understood why Gu Xi had to “touch up makeup.” Who was this delicate, helpless, pitiful omega?!

Was Gu Xi constantly pulling these moves in front of Rong Jing?

Listening to the conversation as the two left, one throwing a drunken tantrum and one half-coaxing, half-deceiving.

He felt that Rong Jing actually knew everything.

Guan Hongyi also took a sip of wine somewhat enviously. “Sigh, that’s nice.”

“What’s nice?” At the entrance, Zhou You arrived dusty from his journey. He’d heard Guan Hongyi say they’d ordered alcohol and had rushed over non-stop.

Guan Hongyi noticed the fine sweat on Zhou You’s forehead and smiled slightly. “No, nothing.”

Guan Hongyi picked up his jacket.

Guan Hongyi knew Zhou You had a white moonlight. Because of past guilt, he’d kept omegas at a respectful distance. When first pursuing him, Guan Hongyi repeatedly hit walls. Zhou You kept making excuses, all with hidden reasons.

Recently, the white moonlight had returned. Zhou You hadn’t gone to see him. The white moonlight seemed to have long forgotten those youthful romantic feelings and never appeared, never came to disturb them. This made Guan Hongyi feel a subtle fondness.

Rong Jing had always known Gu Xi lacked a sense of security. A large part of his proposal was to put Gu Xi’s mind at ease.

On the other hand, once, as marking frequency increased, they’d asked a doctor if there was a way to reduce the number of heat cycles. The doctor said they could consider lifetime marking.

Logically, the two had been dating for some time now. Normal couples would have lost control long ago. But Rong Jing still wanted Gu Xi to consider it more carefully. After all, this was a lifelong matter.
Placing the person in the passenger seat, he had to give several kisses along the way before the drunk shrimp would let him go.

Just after getting in the car, Rong Jing received a message from Wu Fuyu: I’ve already apologized to classmate Lü Jin.

Rong Jing actually knew about this, though he was quite surprised. It really didn’t seem like something Wu Fuyu would do.

Just this afternoon, Lü Jin had frantically @ him in the group chat, asking what that young master wanted and why he suddenly came to apologize. It was very scary, okay!

Several of Rong Jing’s classmates had become popular after participating in “Absolute Idol.” Lü Jin was one of them.

Wu Fuyu: I was locked in dark rooms all the time as a kid, okay? What’s the big f***ing deal? Did I touch a single hair on his head? Getting locked up once and crying for his parents. What kind of alpha is that? So effeminate! Bah!

Although he’d apologized, Wu Fuyu was clearly unconvinced.

Wu Fuyu: There are some others too. I’ve apologized to all of them. Only one I can’t find was that waiter from your tin anniversary banquet. Though it wasn’t my doing either, I’m still responsible. Want to help search together?

Rong Jing: No need. He doesn’t need your apology.

Wu Fuyu: How do you know he doesn’t need it? Don’t tell me you know him?!

Rong Jing didn’t respond directly, and Wu Fuyu didn’t press further.

After a while, Wu Fuyu seemed to hesitate for a long time before asking: Do you still remember what you once told me, that you couldn’t possibly be interested in a man you could beat in a fight?

Rong Jing of course remembered: Mm.

Wu Fuyu: Gu Xi, can you beat him?

Rong Jing glanced at the half-drunk, half-awake omega beside him. His heart softened completely: He’s not in that category.

I chose Gu Xi simply because he’s the only person who makes my heart race.

Gu Xi opened his eyes a crack. In the dim car, the phone’s light was particularly conspicuous. He immediately saw that obvious profile picture. Still harboring evil intentions, huh.

Gu Xi moaned shallowly, “Ugh, my head hurts so much...”

Rong Jing immediately put down his phone, leaning over to massage the omega’s temples. Some people just couldn’t stay still.

Before long, gentle scolding came from inside the car:

“How can you do this in the car! Can’t you see? Behave yourself!”
“What do you mean exciting? Exciting my a**.”
“Sit properly.”
“Don’t be naughty. Buckle your seatbelt. If you climb over again, we’re sleeping in separate rooms when we get back.”
“...”

Most of the time Rong Jing could compromise, he would. But some things he couldn’t. There were limits.

In the midst of their playful days, they finally welcomed their wedding. The wedding venue was on a private island, not disclosed to the public. All attending guests arrived via the Xie family’s private yachts or cruise ships, which made reporters wanting to photograph the scene sigh with envy.

To satisfy netizens’ strong demands, especially the increasingly large CP fandom that was practically crying on the internet every day, Rong Jing still agreed to release a short clip.

In the video, white doves flew out from above the chapel. Rong Jing and Gu Xi stood with their backs to the camera. At the end of the long red carpet, they were dressed in black and white respectively, obviously the same style of formal wear. All along the way were clusters of flowers and a hall full of guests.

When asked, Rong Jing looked at the person beside him and smiled, saying he was willing.
Gu Xi also said he was willing. When the two were about to turn and kiss, the camera flashed by. Some netizens enlarged the image and discovered Gu Xi was clearly smiling, but his eyes seemed covered with a layer of moisture.

This smile that was clearly happy yet more like tears shimmering from a long-awaited wish being fulfilled struck straight to the heart.

There were always people who, from Gu Xi’s smile, were hit in the softest part of their hearts. Gu Xi must have been very happy.

However, just as the kiss was about to happen, the footage was cut off.

This was a video to be released online. Rong Jing and Xie Ling considered that the audience included minors and felt the kissing scene wasn’t quite appropriate. So the brothers consulted and cleanly cut it off.

This resulted in widespread criticism:

“Never would have thought that even their wedding would be cut!! Where are your consciences???!!!”

“I want to see the kiss!! A wedding without a kiss has no soul!”

“Their wedding is so romantic. Although many couples hold it by the sea, probably because this is Boss Xie Ling’s private island, it feels especially different. The decorations are so beautiful!”

“Crying, crying. My CP really got together. The way they look at each other is so indulgent!”

“Relying on imagination to complete their wedding kiss. Feel sorry for myself~”

“Just today, my wife and husband completed their lifelong event. I’m clearly heartbroken, but why am I smiling like an idiot~~~”

“The whole venue is filled with lilies. In Jing Jing’s heart, Xi Xi must be a very pure existence! Ahhhh, wishing you a hundred years of happiness together. Please, please be happy forever!”

“Is it easy for me? I just want my CP to have one kiss. Do you know how long I’ve been hoping for them to get together in reality? It’s just one kiss. If you won’t give it, this old lady will draw it herself!”

So, talented artists began drawing their imagined kissing scenes.

After the wedding ended, Gu Xi applied to Xie Ling for all private yachts to rest at the port after dropping people off.

Xie Ling froze for a moment. His serious, handsome face rarely turned red. After a long while, he agreed to his brother-in-law’s fierce request.

Gu Xi’s implication was that the honeymoon would temporarily be spent on the island. Setting aside later itineraries, at least this period was his and Rong Jing’s alone time. He didn’t want other people privately landing on the island to disturb them.

Finally, the guests dispersed. Gu Xi came to their honeymoon room and took out various medicines he’d prepared. Because he always woke up in the middle of the night before, Gu Xi realized it was affecting Rong Jing, so he secretly took sleeping pills and some anti-mental fatigue medications, forcing himself to sleep until dawn.

Now, his condition had gradually improved. Rong Jing had been using actions to give him unspeakable security. Starting today, he didn’t need medication anymore. He was going to start welcoming his new life.

Gu Xi smiled and firmly put the medicine into his suitcase.

At this moment, Rong Jing appeared with moisture all over his body, bare-chested. Gu Xi looked at those beautiful muscle lines and the V-line disappearing into his pants. He swallowed, placed both hands onRong Jing’s firm chest, the corners of his mouth slightly hooking up. “Wait for me.”

His fingertips lightly traced an arc, thoroughly stirring up Rong Jing before entering the bathroom.

Rong Jing took a deep breath, dispersing those wild thoughts.

Today was their wedding night. Even he was somewhat nervous.

According to his previous calculations, today and tomorrow should be close to Gu Xi’s heat cycle. If he proposed lifetime marking, would it be... a bit fast?

Rong Jing’s body was somewhat tense as he paced around the room.

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound from the bathroom, along with Gu Xi’s shout. Rong Jing immediately rushed over.

On this side, on the cruise ship, Guan Hongyi introduced his boyfriend to Gu Yue, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time. Gu Yue had basically grown up under his watch. Being able to introduce Guan Hongyi to him made him very happy.

Both Gu Yue and Zhou You froze. Gu Yue was first to extend his hand. “Nice to meet you.”

Brief contact. Zhou You seemed to already understand Gu Yue’s meaning. Since they couldn’t go back to the past, why make Guan Hongyi uncomfortable? Might as well act like they truly didn’t know each other.

After seeing off Guan Hongyi and the others, Gu Yue stood at the bow looking at the azure coastline, stretching lazily.

Thinking that the two people he most respected had both found their own happiness, a shallow smile bloomed at the corners of his mouth, his eyes carrying a trace of unobvious bitterness and regret.

When he came to his senses, he felt a gaze behind him constantly watching, without malice, seemingly with concern.

Suddenly a lily blocked his view. One of the earlier guests approached him, seemingly some rich second generation, looking at him full of admiration.

After patiently listening to the other’s introduction, Gu Yue said, “This lily was picked from the wedding, right? That’s disrespectful to the newlyweds.”

After dismissing the person, Gu Yue walked around but didn’t find the source of that earlier gaze. He could only set aside his doubts.

Xie Ling saw off the last batch of guests, somewhat wearily pressing his shoulder. His gaze slightly paused, seeing at the distant dock, someone sitting at the end of the pier with alcohol taken from the wedding beside them.

Wu Fuyu’s feet were being lapped by waves. He quietly drank, gazing wistfully at the sky where white clouds floated. At this time, a familiar person sat down beside him.

Neither spoke. No one knew how long passed. The bottle was emptied.

Xie Ling stood up, walked a few steps, turned back and asked, “Hungry?”

Wu Feiyu paused, caught up, revealing a big smile. “Starving!”

“Big Brother Xie, I think your life is missing me. Won’t you really consider making me your little little brother?”

“Okay.”

Wu Fuyu thought he’d be told to f*** off again. After a while, he finally reacted.

“You, what did you say?!”

Xie Ling had already walked far away. Wu Fuyu excitedly chased after him.

The two figures gradually receded into the distance.

With a bang, Rong Jing crashed through the bathroom door to see Gu Xi sitting collapsed near the bathtub, his whole body radiating a faint pink, alluring without knowing it.

Somehow, he thought of that scene when he’d brought Gu Xi home. Now the bathroom was filled with rich, enticing floral fragrance. Like countless tiny molecules, they drilled into Rong Jing’s limbs and bones, stirring him to immediately do something. But he still barely controlled himself.

Seeing Rong Jing frozen in place, Gu Xi thought of some terrible memory and said through gritted teeth, “Don’t you dare think about getting that gas mask...” Then he thought, they’d already done it several times. Rong Jing probably wouldn’t bring out that damn thing again.

Rong Jing stepped forward a bit embarrassed. He’d had no choice back then. He said, “What are you thinking? Where would I get a gas mask? Is... is it your heat cycle?”

Gu Xi inelegantly rolled his eyes, hooked one hand around Rong Jing’s neck. His whole body was weak. His lips came to Rong Jing’s ear, gently biting. “Isn’t it obvious?”

Seeing Gu Xi acting like nothing was wrong, lighting fires everywhere, looking careless yet seemingly deliberately maintaining it, completely ignited the fire in Rong Jing’s heart. Rong Jing couldn’t control himself anymore.

Gu Xi didn’t give Rong Jing any time to think. He directly turned his pheromones to maximum, making the alpha before him dizzy.

The scent of pheromones filled the entire room. What had been calm inside Rong Jing was also churning.

Soon Rong Jing discovered something was wrong. At this moment, he particularly wanted to completely mark Gu Xi. That violent, impulsive urge to tear everything apart came suddenly and fiercely.

Gu Xi also smelled Rong Jing’s scent, fresh and natural, without the typical alpha explosiveness. He laughed softly in Rong Jing’s ear. “I brought out your rut period, mm... I’m so amazing!” Gu Xi still hadn’t discovered danger was near and continued recklessly provoking.

“If you keep playing with fire, you’ll regret it.” Rong Jing still had a last trace of rationality.

“Oh, will I?” Don’t you know I love watching you break your vows most? Saying this, he further stimulated the person above him.

Rong Jing’s temper somehow got provoked. He pulled over the still-smug omega...

The onset time of an adult alpha’s rut was uncertain. It’s said that top-tier omegas during special periods could potentially bring their partner’s pheromones to early maturity. Both sank into each other’s pheromones.

When deciding on lifetime marking, Rong Jing still triple-confirmed Gu Xi’s willingness.

Gu Xi took a breath and urged impatiently.

Pain and pleasure intertwined.

Rong Jing’s sweat fell onto the omega. He tenderly touched Gu Xi’s pale face. “Does it hurt?”

Gu Xi tightly embraced the person above him. His lips trembled slightly as they pressed against Rong Jing’s.

This pie fallen from heaven seemed to be the miracle he’d waited countless lifetimes for. A tear slid from the corner of Gu Xi’s eye.

Thank you for coming into my life.
