Chapter 59

Qin Jie laughed self-deprecatingly and casually turned the TV volume up to maximum.

Just at that moment…

"Two surnames joined in marriage, a covenant sealed in one hall; may this blessed bond endure forever, and the pair be praised as equals."

"Behold this day, peach blossoms ablaze, a house made fit for love; may the years ahead bring sons and grandsons without end, your house flourishing, your glory ever brighter."

"Humbly, with a vow unto old age, I set it down upon a crimson page, that the Hongyezhi Alliance may be recorded clear upon the ledger of lovebirds!"

What? Qin Jie leaped up with a jolt, staring at the screen in utter shock.

Who is that radiant young gentleman on the screen?

Which company has launched this superstar newcomer?

Huh? Why does he look more and more familiar the more I watch?

Doesn't he look a little like that Su Meng who plays the suona at funerals?

A moment later, Qin Jie's face suddenly changed drastically; she snatched up the phone and plastered a humble smile on her face.

"Boss, if I said I drank too much fake alcohol, would you believe me?"

Putting down the phone, Qin Jie patted her chest, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Su Meng was positively glowing.

As expected of our Su Meng—handsome enough to break through the heavens, handsome enough to make the world weep! Am I right?

"…This wasn't written by me, I copied it!"

"I just copied someone else's lines to come over here and show off a bit."

"You wouldn't really think I'm that awesome, would you?"

Hehe, our Su Meng really knows how to crack jokes—this joke is just too funny!

Qin Jie laughed until tears streamed down her face, and skillfully grabbed the phone again.

"Boss, the sixth bottle from the left on the third shelf of the cabinet in your office is fake alcohol."

"I'm so happy right now, I really want to drink a bottle of fake alcohol to celebrate…

…"

"If I die from drinking fake alcohol, can you let Su Meng play a tune for me? …Waa waa waa…"

……

"Brother, are you saying this for real?"

The bride's face was full of astonishment, and she instinctively pressed for an answer.

"That's right!" Su Meng nodded, saying with a cheerful smile.

"This passage is the wedding vow from a marriage certificate during the Republic of China era. I thought it suited the occasion quite well, so I borrowed it to show off a bit."

"But although those words were copied, my blessings for you aren't even the slightest bit fake~~"

Pfft~~ Quite a few people nearly sprayed their drinks out—hey, are you afraid other people won't know you're showing off?

Liu Tianxian, seeing this, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly made a bold decision.

"Actually, I…"

"Actually, Liu Tianxian saw through it long ago, didn't she?"

Su Meng glared at her, cutting her off mid-sentence.

"So you see, I was just showing off—what Liu Tianxian did is the real deal!"

"Worthy of being the fairy sister, the nation's goddess."

"She said she wanted to have a child soon with the groomsman—so should I agree? Or agree? Or agree?"

Huh? Liu Tianxian was instantly stunned, and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

A wave of emotion welled up in her heart unbidden.

This little rascal—is he protecting my image?

He really is…have a child soon? Agree? Agree? Agree?

He's really just too wicked!

Bah!

……

In the livestream room, the barrage of comments suddenly grew dense.

"What does this mean? Su Meng actually said it was copied?"

"I was just about to kneel down to him, and then he just crashed and burned right there?"

"Hahaha, Su Meng is really too genuine. I don't know why, but the more I see him showing off like this, the more I like him!"

"This passage is so beautiful, but I didn't catch it all. Is there any big shot who can post the original text?"

"You all really think Su Meng has no culture? Really think Su Meng has no class? Go check Baidu yourself and you'll know."

"I checked Baidu, and it gave me quite a shock—searching for this line only turns up a handful of results?"

"Get it now? Su Meng even knows something this obscure, so who knows how deep he really goes?"

"Why do I suddenly feel that a celebrity who doesn't show off actually has even more class?"

……

On stage, the bride stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly jumped up excitedly.

"Brother, a blessing like yours is the most sincere kind!"

"Thank you, brother, I'm really so happy today!"

"Brother, I love you! Brother, I love you! I love you to death!"

Emmm…the groom beside her instantly shut down, and a flash of green seemed to pass before his eyes.

Speaking of which, at his own wedding, the bride openly declared her love for another man.

But why do I also want to say this to that man?

Could it be that my heart is bent?

The groom fell into deep philosophical thought.

Seeing the groom's face turn green, with what seemed like an extra hat on his head, Su Meng was also somewhat torn between laughter and tears.

"Since your husband invited me today, I certainly must put in extra effort!"

"Oh no, your husband invited me to be a suona Master, and I seem to have only played one segment."

"How about I play another segment for you?"

"No~~~~" Before anyone else could speak, the groom jumped up on reflex.

His voice even became shrill.

"I still have to do push-ups tonight, so just let my hands rest for a while!"

Do push-ups tonight?

Everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between his face and the bride's, their eyes seeming to hold something strange.

How did you manage to say such a private topic so loudly?

Did you eat too much mallow?
