Chapter 931: Childhood Sweethearts 25

First, after entering this secret room, Mu Henian automatically blocked out all external sounds, only listening to Cheng Huai speak.

Secondly, he had his eyes closed.

He neither saw Jin Chen and Song Xu retreating, nor did he think Jin Chen would let such a good thing pass.

In short, Mu Henian remained motionless, simply because he hadn't considered it applying to himself.

But Cheng Huai didn't know that.

He thought Mu Henian just didn't want to, and could only stand there, feeling lost and helpless.

Song Xu shook Jin Chen's arm; Jin Chen got the hint, went over and grabbed Mu Henian, pulling him aside.

The two leaned shoulder-to-shoulder and ducked into a corner; Jin Chen asked him, "What are you doing, coming here to be a log?"

Mu Henian finally opened his eyes.

"There's a ghost," he said solemnly.

"Ghost… there's no ghost! Where would a ghost come from!" Jin Chen rolled his eyes.

Mu Henian asked Youyou, "If reincarnation exists, why not ghosts?"

Jin Chen: "……"

What a tricky question!

He punched Mu Henian on the shoulder, "You're stupid, guess why Cheng Huai insisted on bringing you here."

Mu Henian: "Because he… likes to play?"

Jin Chen's expression was strange.

"Don't you ever think with your brain?"

He slapped him again, "It's obvious he's dragging you to wear wedding attire—what else could it be for!"

This guy doesn't deserve a wife!

The noble, aloof CEO Mu Henian, after taking two punches, finally achieved Opening Apertures.

All the scenes of them being together today flooded his mind, and he finally understood Cheng Huai's intention.

"Move aside."

Mu Henian somewhat urgently pushed Jin Chen aside, quickly walked toward Cheng Huai, took his hand, and his excessive nervousness greatly reduced his fear.

"Ah Huai, I have no reluctance."

npc: "Then… shall we start?"

There's still a certain amount.

Cheng Huai gazed at their joined hands, slowly lifted his eyes to look at Mu Henian, hummed in acknowledgement and nodded, "Good!"

Thus the two were each taken by an npc into a room to begin putting on wedding attire.

Jin Chen, guarding outside, began to act affectedly.

He dissatisfiedly pinched Song Xu's cheek, "Did you invite me out today just to facilitate those two?"

"Mm…"

Song Xu's cheeks puffed from being pinched; he slapped his older brother's hand, freed himself, and, seemingly trying to appease, clung to Jin Chen's arm and shook it.

"Don't be angry, I have a gift for you; let's talk about it when we get home."

Those bright almond eyes blinked and blinked, leaving Jin Chen speechless.

"As for other people's matters, you're quite perceptive."

Jin Chen, with a pointed meaning, lightly poked Song Xu's head, "Idiot Xiao Yu'er."

Little did Song Xu know, he had clearly understood the meaning; in the dim light of the secret room, his ears quietly turned red.

Suddenly, all light sources went out, a spotlight shone on the table, the npc, dressed as an officiant, respectfully performed another gesture and struck the gong and drum he held.

"The auspicious time has arrived! Please, the couple!"

Cheng Huai and Mu Henian changed into their outfits; although the photo studio attire was extremely shabby, their good looks and fine figures made it seem, as they walked toward each other from opposite sides of the stage, that they truly bore the air of a wedding.

Mu Henian suddenly recalled that in his previous life, after all kinds of entanglements, grudges, and misunderstandings with Cheng Huai, they also never had a wedding.

This time, for him, it was to make up for regrets and to fully usher in a new life.

Cheng Huai clenched the red silk ribbon in his hand, lifted his eyes to meet Mu Henian's gaze, and both saw the same love flowing in each other's eyes.

He thought, he knew Mu Henian's answer.

"First bow to heaven and earth——"

The npc shouted loudly.

At this moment, all danger and fear ceased to exist; even the npc wore a smile, and the atmosphere was warm.

Song Xu furtively glanced at Jin Chen; seeing him looking serious, he couldn't help but think, perhaps… his older brother had also been looking forward to this, and the ones meant to participate in this segment were the two of them.

Suddenly, he was embraced from behind by Jin Chen; the warm breath in the chilly secret room made his presence even more pronounced.

"Xiao Yu'er, don't overthink it; your arrangements are fine."

But he still hasn't said anything.

Song Xu pursed his lips and smiled, then leaned back into Jin Chen's embrace, their mutual understanding making his heart flutter even more.

【Villain Heartthrob Value detected +3, total now 55!】

"Spouses bow to each other——"

After that, it was Cheng Huai's chance to confess.

Song Xu also stood straight, nervously watching this scene.

As Mu Henian bent over, the red silk ribbon they were holding was suddenly pulled away; he looked up in surprise at Cheng Huai, and was drawn closer, the distance narrowing.

"Henian, I—I have something to say to you."

Even though he already had the courage, Cheng Huai was still nervous, his lower lip almost bitten through by himself; he restrained his pounding heart and took out the gift he had prepared earlier.

When we first met, I ruined your coat; although I had no money to buy a new one, this scarf is something I knitted myself—I hope you like it.

I know it's summer now and you won't need a scarf, but what I mean is… can I reserve your winter?

Cheng Huai finished speaking, nervously awaiting Mu Henian's answer.

It turned out to be a scarf.

Jin Chen spoiled the mood, whispering to Song Xu, 'Who came up with this segment again? Did you even consult the girls in our class?'

Song Xu exclaimed, 'How would you know, brother?'

Jin Chen said wistfully, 'Among the top relationship red flags, giving a scarf guarantees a breakup.'

Brother, don't talk nonsense.

Song Xu gave him an annoyed look, 'There's no such superstition; I think they're a great match and won't break up.'

Exactly, the protagonist couple are a match made in heaven.

Jin Chen silently complained, continuing to look up.

Mu Henian's heart wasn't just fluttering like a startled deer—it was a stampede of ten thousand horses.

He took the scarf; its feel was superb, fluffy and soft.

'I like it very much,' Mu Henian said, then took Cheng Huai's hand, pulled the youth into an embrace, and held him tightly, 'I like this gift, and I like the one who prepared it, Ahuai.'

Cheng Huai returned the embrace, lifting his eyes expectantly, 'Then…'

'Thank you for the gift, boyfriend.'

Mu Henian laughed and responded, taking advantage of the warmth to leave a lingering kiss.

Song Xu downstairs was also excited,

'Yes! It worked.'

He turned and flung himself into Jin Chen's arms, happy for his friend's bliss, 'I said Ahuai would definitely succeed!'

The NPC, having eaten its fill of dog food, immediately struck the second beat of the drum.

Boom!

The red-and-green ambient lights flickered back on, the eerie wails rose again, as if unwilling to tolerate the cold slap of dog food on the face.

'Run!'

Jin Chen shouted.

The four of them bolted for the door.

'Clothes! Clothes!'

The NPC was startled, not expecting them to be so fast; it grabbed the drum and chased after them, shouting, 'Leave the clothes for me!'

After leaving the secret room, Cheng Huai's joy could not be contained; he linked arms with Mu Henian and bounced along.

Behind them, Song Xu and Jin Chen also held hands, their smiles bright and clear, like crushed morning light.

The youths' passion is fervent, like the midsummer afternoon sun, warmly pouring down, bathing them in light, and their love clears up.
