Chapter 738 -737: Welcoming the Bride
The newly opened butterfly exhibit at the zoo brought many surprises to visitors, who shared photos on social media platforms.
The beautiful cherry blossom forest was also a great destination for spring outings.
Unfortunately, the zoo wasn’t fully open yet, requiring online advance ticket purchases and reservations, and the number of visitors was limited to one-third of the usual crowd. On weekends, when it was especially crowded, securing a reservation was quite difficult, to the disappointment of many residents.
Recently, Fang Ye had been busy with a significant life event, preparing for his wedding.
The wedding was to be held at the zoo, and he had finished all the preparations during the past few months of downtime.
He had practiced all the segments that required animal participation and sent out invitations to close friends and family.
…
The day of the wedding arrived quickly.
At 6 a.m., Fang Ye got up, yawning and groggy.
He was relatively relaxed, although a bit nervous and excited, as he had closed his eyes and gone to bed at 11 p.m. the night before.
But Lan Li was so nervous she could hardly stand it!
In her words, it was more nerve-wracking than college entrance exams; she couldn’t sleep and ended up chatting on the phone with him for another hour.
Coming downstairs, Father Fang and Mother Fang were already sitting in the living room, watching TV.
Mother Fang greeted him, “Yo, is the groom up? How do you feel, nervous?”

Fang Ye chuckled, “It’s okay; I’ve always had a pretty strong heart. By the way, we’re growing strawberries in the yard, they’re very sweet, help yourselves.”
Father Fang, seeing their casual chat, couldn’t help urging, “Aren’t you going to wash up? The makeup artist will be here soon! Hurry up, or the bride will run away!”
Fang Ye thought, “Girls’ makeup surely takes longer than boys’; maybe I’ll still have to wait once I get there.”
But aloud, he responded, “Okay, okay!”
He went to the bathroom to wash up and put on a handsome white suit!
After a while, the makeup artist arrived.
As the makeup artist styled and made up Fang Ye, Mother Fang kept peeking over now and then, wandering back and forth with her eyes squinted from smiling, seeming even more excited than he was.
Fang Ye couldn’t resist saying, “Mom, could you just sit still for a while? You look at me as if I’m a panda and you’re a tourist. I’m not some rare animal, why keep staring at me?”
Mother Fang patted his shoulder and straightened his suit collar for what seemed like the umpteenth time, proudly saying, “You look exceptionally handsome today, of course, I want to look more.”
One moment she was extremely happy, her face blossoming into a smile, and the next she grew inexplicably sentimental, her eyes welling up with tears.
Fang Ye, feeling helpless, said, “Getting married is mostly a joyous occasion; why the tears? Here, let me wipe your eyes.”
Father Fang chimed in, “Right, right, what’s there to cry about?”
Mother Fang bluntly exposed, “I saw you in the yard this morning, sneaking a smoke while wiping away tears.”
Father Fang’s face turned red, his eyes shifty, pretending he hadn’t heard a thing!
Fang Ye couldn’t help but laugh; his parents were truly a pair of treasures.
The makeup artist, listening to their conversation, thought this family was very interesting and joined in, “I’ve been doing wedding makeup for so many years, and usually, the groom’s parents are very happy. The bride’s parents, thinking about their beloved daughter raised for twenty years living in someone else’s home, not knowing whether she’ll have a good life or not, finding it after she leaves not as easy to see her as at home, their tears just flow. Your situation is quite rare.”
Mother Fang sighed, “Well, we also live far away from our child and can’t move here due to work, and we can’t see each other more than twice a year.”
Fang Ye comforted, “Don’t worry, we’ll visit you more when we have holidays.”
Mother Fang laughed, “Create a little treasure soon and bring them over!”
Once Fang Ye’s makeup was done, he called over Meng Shi and He Yifei, the two groomsmen, preparing to pick up the bride.
He swaggered, “How about it, handsome or not?”
Meng Shi wore a black suit today; his large frame looked even more formidable than a movie bodyguard, exuding a potent presence of Deterrence.
With a simple smile, he said, “Well, if I were a girl, I’d definitely be swept off my feet by you!”
Imagining that scene, Fang Ye shuddered, “Let’s not!”
Such a burly girl, sitting down with her would probably crash through the floor.
He Yifei pretended to evaluate seriously, “Hmm, almost catching up with my handsomeness!”
“Psh, shameless.”
Fang Ye triumphantly waved his hand, “Everyone’s ready, then let’s go!”
Lan Li’s home.
A few girls in white dresses waited behind the door, their eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.
“They said they’re almost here!”
“Get ready, everyone! We can’t let them enter too easily!”
Lan Li’s head peeped out from the bedroom, nervously shouting, “Hey hey, don’t go overboard with the challenges!”
“Already so worried before getting married, hopeless, you’re going to be bullied by your husband your whole life!”
“Alright, alright, we know what we’re doing.”
“The bride should stay inside and be good!”
The bridesmaids giggled and pushed Lan Li back into the room.
At that moment, the sound of the doorbell rang!
The bridesmaids hurried back, exchanging glances with each other!
They didn’t open the door completely, instead, one girl peeked out with a cheeky grin through a narrow gap.
The man in front of them, dressed in a white suit and holding a bouquet, must be the groom!
But why was the lighting so dim?
Instinctively looking up, she saw a towering muscle man and stood there stunned.
It was his massive frame that blocked the light at the doorway.
Seeing the girl staring at him, Meng Shi flashed what he thought was an honest smile!
The girl’s eyes widened in shock, her heart skipped a beat, “Holy crap, a bear spirit!”
For a moment, she forgot what she was supposed to do, puzzling the other bridesmaids who nudged her in the side.
Coming back to her senses, the girl “coughed” twice, “Well, congratulations on your marriage, hand over the red envelopes!”
“No red envelope, no entry!”
Handing out red envelopes was naturally the best man’s job, He Yifei pulled out a handful of small red envelopes from his pocket and scattered them inside!
“Woohoo~”
The bridesmaids immediately cheered, scurrying to collect the red envelopes on the ground.
But the door was still not allowed to open, the girl said, “The groom still has to sing a song to express his love to the bride!”
Fang Ye scratched his head; while he listened to plenty of songs usually, he never memorized the lyrics.
He Yifei suggested, “How about ‘Mouse Loves Rice’? I’ll help you with the bgm.”
The girl wanted to object to playing the bgm, but she glanced at Meng Shi and silently shut her mouth.
Who would dare to mess with this guy…
“If there really comes a day, when love has its way, I will work doubly hard, to treat you well, never to sway…”
After Fang Ye finished singing, he smiled, “How’s that, satisfied?”
The girl responded, “Okay, fine, you’ve passed the challenge!”
They initially wanted to tease him further, maybe have him do some frog jumps, but considering the red envelopes and Meng Shi’s presence, they opened the door and cleared the way.
