The host asked their friends and relatives to sit in the banquet hall, and tidied his clothes again. Xing Biao still kept a close eye on his brothers – he was convinced that they were up to something vicious.7

Little Stammer glided over again like a yellow croaker.

“Brother Biao, I dug some information. They will not do anything vicious now. They want to play tricks on you two until the wedding night in bridal chamber. After all, you are people in society with respect, power and influence. The brothers would not make you embarrassed in front of everyone. They wanted to tease you, but they’ll do that at home and won’t have you laughed at by outsiders.”

“Then why are they lining up at the door?”

“Scattering petals.”

Little Stammer made a standard gesture of “please”.

“Lawyer Su, Brother Biao, please.”

A naïve and impulsive man, with a group of more naïve and impulsive brothers. What could you do about it?

Su Mo shook his head to them, and thought to himself, can he go back to his own home first? Is it okay for him to not go to Xing Biao’s place tonight?

Ah, forget about it. He’d better get married before thinking of escaping from tonight.

So many people were waiting for them. Xing Biao pulled up his arm and said to Su Mo in high spirits.

“Darling, let’s walk arm in arm.”

Su Mo rolled his eyes and gave a you-are-an-idiot expression.

He strode in by himself. How could he go in arm in arm with Xing Biao like a woman? He was the bridegroom, too.

“Ah ah, how could you not wait for me!”

Xing Biao hurried to catch up with him. He finally took Su Mo by his hand – well, it should be acceptable for Su Mo to walk in hand in hand with him.

When passing Xing Biao’s brothers, they all grabbed a handful of colorful sequins from their handbags and began to scatter them. There were even petals. It’s so trendy and new for these virile men to act as flower boys. Oh my god.

They walked along the ten-meter pathway, with their friends cheering, with petals and sequins scattered all over their clothes, hair, with petals under their footstep. The background music sang loudly that “I love you, you are my first lady”!

It’s definitely romantic; it’s definitely glitzy; and it’s definitely grand.

The sequins shone particularly bright in the light of the sun, even Su Mo, who liked to act cold, were laughing happily. Even if he dodged the scattering head-on sequins, he was gently hit by the rose petals from above his head.

His brothers were laughing, booing, and scattering flowers.

All guests were laughing out loud. How fun it was! Such a wedding prelude was lively enough.

Looking at those two handsome boys! Su Mo was smiling so happily, his face was melting in smiles. When he was not acting cold, he looked gentler and more good-looking.

When Xing Biao smiled, he looked pretty simple and honest, rather than fierce as he usually looked. It’s just that he smiled too hard that his mouth opened very big. It’s quite usual for a groom to smile foolishly.

Su Mo patted the sequins off the shoulder. When they pass a person, he would congratulate “Happy wedding. Love for all seasons. Wish you happiness and health.” Su Mo continuously replied “thank you”. Thanks for preparing for this wedding and making everything so perfect and lively.

“Shit! Who the fuck throws a water bottle towards me? I’m expecting you to scatter petals, not to throw garbage at me. God, I’m fucking getting married, not parading on the street as a sign of punishment. Damn it, who the fuck did that?”

Xing Biao was not so lucky as Su Mo. People were scattering petals and sequins towards Su Mo, while what Xing Biao got was a water bottle and it hit on his back side of the head. Xing Biao got angry all of a sudden. His yelling made the romantic scenery of scattering petals less romantic.

Nine Fingers looked at his hand.

“Ah ah! I threw the wrong thing.”

His hand slipped and he threw away the water bottle. He had only drunken half of the water.

“God, I’m killing you!”

Nine Fingers screamed and ran away. He had only nine fingers – he didn’t mean to do that. He was just too happy.

Xing Biao frowned, pointed at Nine Fingers and yelled. “Don’t you dare to show up in front of me today, otherwise I’ll pour cement into your body and throw you in the sea.”

Su Mo grabbed his arm.

“Are you done here? Go on.”

“Oh, oh yes. Go on, go on to scatter petals.”

With just a few words, the tyrannosaurus was pacified. Xing Biao took Su Mo’s hand and continued to walk. His brothers simply threw the rest of the petals and sequins to both of them.

There were still a few steps to the door and his brothers clapped their hands and summoned each other.

“Go go go, let’s go inside and look for a place to drink together.”

They had no professional ethics! They did not know they should help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west? It was still a few steps away. Shit, Xing Biao raised his middle finger to these bastards. He thought to himself, they’d definitely get their wages cut. They would not even receive their salary next whole month.

The wedding scene was decorated pretty romantic. His brothers also put on a suit with a bow tie, standing on both sides. Bai Hua, Big Mouth and Little Stammer stood at Xing Biao’s side, while Cui Xun, Nine Fingers, and Fourth Cripple stood at Su Mo’s side. The groomsmen were ready.

Cui Xun touched his chin and smiled at Little Stammer. Little Stammer was very shy and he hid behind Bai Hua. Since the wedding ceremony had not begun, Cui Xun pushed Bai Hua away and ran to stand next to Little Stammer.

Were you an adult? These glasses didn’t fit you. Why were you avoiding me?

Su Mo despised Cui Xun, were you despising my groomsman? How come you were at Xing Biao’s side? Claiming yourself to be a senior alumnus, what you did didn’t match your position, okay?

These people barely wore formal clothes. Now that they had to wear a suit and tie, and to stand bolt upright, they felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, they all looked pretty handsome. Hey bro, do I look handsome? Ah you’re fine, I’m more handsome than you.

Even the groomsmen were not qualified, cut their wages!

The host was more dedicated than the groomsmen. He spoke highly of Xing Biao and Su Mo in front of their relatives and friends, as if they were fallen fairies.

He said they were tall and mighty, handsome and extraordinary with successful careers. They were loved by women and envies men. They were made for each other and the match was created by nature. Oh, my god. This host must have seen too many legends about The Legend of The Condor Heroes.

Su Mo felt embarrassed. He had received a lot of praise, like having great academic performance, studying hard, and achieving excellent academic success. However, what the host said only intrigued one idea – how much on earth did Xing Biao pay to this host to say such words against his conscience.

Xing Biao, on the other hand, felt very proud and held his head high. He felt that the host could have said more to praise them.

It proved only one truth – those who were shameless was invincible and could do anything.

“Thanks to friends and relatives and thanks to the government. You know, the government passed this bill and it ended many bachelors’ single life. There is huge imbalance between men and women, and there are 30 million bachelors in this country, which is a huge number of people. After the government legalized same-sex marriage, those who could not get married now get married. Those who are truly in love could also get married hand in hand. Adopting orphans relieves the government’s burden. Therefore, the whole society is harmonious. Many thanks, thanks to the parents, thank to our motherland.”

The groomsmen were clapping loudly. You’re so right. Without the tolerance of the motherland, they could not get married with a marriage license indeed. It was quite troublesome to go abroad and get married there.

“Today we are witnessing the marriage of the happy couple. The two grooms are extraordinary and outstanding. Let the two grooms talk about their love,”

The microphone was handed to Xing Biao, who had quite much to say.

“My wife and I, no, my husband. I fell in love with my husband at first sight. Holding a cup of coffee, he tilted his head and smiled at me, and I knew I had a crush. That was a pretty young man, I thought. When I knew more about him, I think he is better than anyone else. He is very good to his parents, has good relations with his classmates, and is kind to my friends. He has good education background and meticulous observation abilities. You may not know that, the day before yesterday he handled a very difficult case. He is so capable. He is methodical and logical when dealing with everything. I don’t have any relatives, and he even shares with me his parents. Although he doesn’t like to talk much, he is very eloquent. His words warm my heart. If someone is handsome, he could be handsome for several years; but if someone is nice, he is nice all his life. He is such a nice man, and I want to keep him beside me. That’s why I’m so eager to get married with him. I fear that he’ll be taken by someone else.”

Xing Biao’s words made everyone laugh. Many people nodded and agreed with what he said.

Su Mo was thinking – did I smile the first time we met?

“I’m already at my thirties, and I want to find someone to spend a whole life with. I don’t have much of a knack of earning money but I promise that he’ll be well fed and clothed. Even if I had to beg for food, I’ll make sure that he eats well and lives well. He is such a nice man, and he chooses to get married with me. I can’t let him suffer a bit. Darling, I really love you and I vow to treat you well.”

Su Mo looked at Xing Biao. He could see no tease, but rare seriousness. He couldn’t be more serious.

“Yeah.”

He chose to believe in Xing Biao. This simple and blunt man was gentle but careless, rough but considerate. He would show his affection for you directly and treat you well. Although they didn’t know each other so thoroughly, but he can feel it.

Hopefully, after marriage, he’ll keep it up.

“Darling, you are the reason that I have a home, and you are the reason that I have a relative. In my whole life, you are the only one I care about. Let’s live a happy life together.”

Su Mo held out his hand and patted Xing Biao on the shoulder. Xing Biao held him in his arm. It was such a big day, yet none of his relatives showed up. It was not possible that he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. However, Su Mo was here. When Su Mo patted him on the shoulder, Xing Biao felt better. As for his parents and brothers, since they ignored him from the very beginning, then just continue to ignore him. He had suffered and struggled for so many years, and from today on, he’ll stop his yearning for them, and Su Mo would become his only relative.

“All right.”

He was hugged by Xing Biao, and felt that when Xing Biao rubbed his neck, there was a bit moisture. Su Mo’s took pity on him. The old man should have had mixed feelings today – happy, but also sad.

“Mr. Su, do you have anything to say?”

The host gave the microphone to Su Mo.

“Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend our wedding. Thanks to our parents. Thanks to all the good brothers who prepared for the wedding – thank you for your hard work. The wedding is held in haste, so please forgive us if we didn’t take good care of each of you. You can exchange the dishes and wines with the waiter if they don’t suit your taste. If you have any requirements, feel free to let us know. Thanks again, and I hope you all have a good time. Enjoy yourselves to the full.”

Su Mo kept up appearance. Xing Biao didn’t know how to speak polite formula. He was so clumsy and could only say something like all was in the wine. Su Mo was more familiar with these words and sounded official.

Since it was their wedding, he would not stay behind Xing Biao, but stand beside him. He wanted the wedding to be perfect.

“What my darling said was exactly what I want to say. Eat well and drink well, everyone.”

Su Mo looked at Xing Biao, you should also thank everyone. Many of them who came here were your brothers. Xing Biao felt like there was nothing more to say – Su Mo said everything. So he added “Eat well and drink well, everyone”. He must have learned that from the famous sketch performer Zhao Benshan.

Everyone watching the ceremony laughed again. Oh my, Xing Biao, you have been in the business for so many years, and you were good at fighting, yet you didn’t know how to speak polite formula – your wife was way better than you. As expected, Su Mo was the eloquent big ‘sister’-in-law.
