Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside
Chapter 428-429

Chapter 428: Chapter 428-429

And so, the two of them finally ended up together.

The first ray of the morning sun shone into the room, lighting up both their faces.

They opened their eyes and just looked at each other, neither wanting to get up.

"Wife, did you sleep well?" Yang Ming asked.

"Husband, did you sleep well?" Xiaoxiao asked.

The two who spoke simultaneously shared a knowing smile, and their hearts still raced with the blush of last night’s memories.

"Shall we get up?" Yang Ming asked.

"Let’s not get up," Xiaoxiao replied.

She felt embarrassed, really wanting to just lie there, yet she knew it wasn’t quite possible.

"Then we won’t get up," Yang Ming said indulgently.

"What about you?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"I’m not getting up either," Yang Ming replied.

The two of them lay there, you looking at me and I looking at you, sweetness filling their eyes.

But lying there in silence was somewhat awkward.

So Xiaoxiao broke the silence, "Husband, let me tell you about some modern things."

"Yeah, you tell me," Yang Ming agreed.

He loved to listen to his wife talk about the novel and strange happenings of the modern world; she was so vibrant when she spoke of those things.

The thought of his wife not being able to return to her own world for his sake pained him; he resolved to always treat her well in the future, not letting her suffer any grievances.

Xiaoxiao pondered what modern things to talk about?

After some thought, "Let me tell you about how people in our place get married."

"Yeah, go ahead," Yang Ming felt the topic was a good one. He wanted to listen carefully since he and his wife hadn’t had a proper wedding ceremony, which had always been a regret to him. How wonderful it would be if they could hold one again someday.

"Over there, the wedding ceremony is called a wedding. The woman wears a white wedding dress, and the man wears a suit. The man has to go to the woman’s family and ’fetch’ her. There are people at the door who block the way, giving the groom a hard time by asking him to do various tasks, like singing or hopping on one leg. In short, the groom has to earnestly complete these tasks to marry the beautiful bride."

"They hold a sacred ceremony, declaring their vows to each other in front of everyone, exchanging wedding rings, drinking nuptial cups, and expressing gratitude to each other’s parents..."

Xiaoxiao spoke earnestly while Yang Ming listened intently.

No wonder she confessed in such a manner—the regret was clear; she, too, desired such a union ceremony. "Wife, I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a perfect wedding ceremony."

Xiaoxiao smiled, what could be done? She had arrived after the ceremony was over, and they couldn’t just have a wedding again, "It’s okay. The ceremony is just a formality. As long as we have each other in our hearts, the actual formality doesn’t matter that much. Back home, we have this saying, ’Every day is Valentine’s Day when you’re together.’ Valentine’s Day is a festival for two people in love."

Yang Ming held his wife’s small hand, repeating to himself, again and again, the phrase, "Every day is Valentine’s Day when you’re together."

He thought his wife was an especially insightful person. Being able to marry her was the greatest fortune of his life.

The two of them chatted about everything under the sun, and after a while, Yang Ming asked, "Shall we get up?"

Xiaoxiao answered, "You go first."

"No, you first."

"You first."

Both of them felt too shy and wished time could just stand still in this moment.

But time would not stand still, and they could not escape the inevitability of getting up, especially when a knock on the door startled them both.
