Super Gene Hunting Ground

Fei’e City underwent a dramatic change overnight, leaving everyone astonished.

The City Lord Mansion had become the residence of the Yelu Family. Despite the wedding of Yang Xiao and Caiyun being hasty, it was grand and lively. The ceremony was held during the day, and throughout the afternoon and evening, the City Lord Mansion was bustling with people constantly coming and going.

Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan acted as groomsmen.

The two joked that they had initially pursued Yelu Caiyun together, but now, the bride was getting married, and the groom was not one of them.

They said this directly in front of Yelu Caiyun and Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao just smiled, not minding much, while Yelu Caiyun gratefully said:

”Thank you both for your misplaced affection. I’m quite embarrassed. I offer you three glasses of wine as a toast, wishing you to find your true love soon.”

Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan laughed heartily, tilted their heads back, and drank the three glasses of wine. Caiyun drank, too.

It was precisely because Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan had already come to terms with it that they could now face Caiyun with ease and joy, even acting as groomsmen for Yang Xiao.

Chen Cangshan looked at Yang Xiao and suddenly felt uneasy, not wanting Yang Xiao to take all the benefits. So he pulled Yang Xiao aside and whispered in his ear:

”Yang Xiao, you’re married to Caiyun now. When you bring Caiyun back to Flying Leopard Academy, how will you face Xiao Ling? Aren’t you afraid Xiao Ling will be upset with you? Hehe!”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

Seeing Chen Cangshan’s mischievous grin, Gao Lou hurried to ask:

”Cangshan, what did you say to Yang Xiao?”

”Hehe, I just wished him many children, haha...”

Caiyun’s face turned red with embarrassment.

After a round of playful commotion, Yang Xiao and Caiyun were escorted to the bridal chamber according to local customs.

Yelu Caiyun sat by the bed, shyly lowering her head.

Yang Xiao stood by, glancing around the newly decorated room. Everything had been arranged hastily; all the furniture and bedding in the room were new, even the room was different from the bridal chamber of the deceased Ximen Chuixue.

Yang Xiao felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and remarked with a smile:

”This room is nicely arranged.”

Caiyun softly replied:

”Do you plan to stand in the room all night like that?”

”...”

”According to our custom, the groom should help the bride remove the ornaments from her hair. Could you come and help remove the hairpin from my hair?”

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the bedside, sat next to Caiyun, and looked at her.

At this moment, Yelu Caiyun, with her delicate makeup, appeared elegant and poised, her bright eyes and white teeth, exuding a fragrance of osmanthus and orchid. Especially those eyes, looking at Yang Xiao with tenderness, causing one’s heart to tremble.

Yelu Caiyun was originally a great beauty; even among the many beauties at Flying Leopard Academy, she gained the title of ’Goddess’ as soon as she entered the Primary Level Academy. Even the likes of Qin Tian and other young gentlemen coveted her.

Back then, her beauty seemed a bit immature to Yang Xiao, especially when compared with the goddess mentor Xiao Ling; she lacked a certain aura.

Yang Xiao did not have a very good impression of Caiyun in the past, so he tended to overlook her beauty.

But after a year of acquaintance, Yang Xiao’s negative impression of Caiyun had long faded. He gradually accepted her transformation and deeply sympathized with the family pressure she faced alone.

Yang Xiao’s feelings for Caiyun were complex and difficult to articulate. Saying he didn’t like her at all wouldn’t be true; otherwise, Yang Xiao couldn’t explain why he was so agitated upon hearing about Caiyun’s forced marriage to Ximen Chuixue and rushed to save her despite the danger from thousands of miles away.

Yang Xiao reached out to remove the Jade hairpin from Caiyun’s hair bun.

Caiyun gently looked at Yang Xiao, suddenly grabbing his hand.

Yang Xiao felt his hand tremble slightly, as it lingered on top of Yelu Caiyun’s head,

In this ambiguous atmosphere, touching Caiyun’s warm hand, a peculiar turbulent surge arose within him.

”Yang Xiao, do you like me?”

”...”

”You do like me, right?”

”...”

”You don’t have to answer me; I know already. Otherwise, why would you run over to save me? It’s because you like me; you don’t want me to be married off to another man, isn’t that right?”

Yang Xiao found it difficult to answer Caiyun.

Caiyun’s words seemed like a beam of light, directly illuminating Yang Xiao’s heart, exposing his private thoughts without any concealment.

Yang Xiao looked at Caiyun and, with difficulty, nodded.

”I can’t deny; I do have some fondness for you.”

Yelu Caiyun smiled happily upon hearing this,

”I also know that you agreed to marry me not with sincerity in mind. You just wanted to show everyone through marriage that you are my husband, Yelu Caiyun’s husband, so no one would dare bully the Yelu Family.”

Saying this, Yelu Caiyun suddenly rose from the bedside and, with a thud, knelt before Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was taken aback and hurriedly reached out to lift Yelu Caiyun.

”Caiyun, what are you doing?”

”Yang Xiao, your great kindness to me and the Yelu Family is indescribable. Thank you on behalf of the Yelu Family.”

As Caiyun spoke, she bowed her head to Yang Xiao.

Originally meant to kowtow, but Yang Xiao pulled her up.

With a serious expression, Yang Xiao said:

”Caiyun, with such great courtesy between us, it’s too formal. I came to save you genuinely, unable to stand watching you jump into a fire pit and see your beautiful life ruined.”

”Thank you, Yang Xiao. In this lifetime, I am willing to repay you with my life and do anything for you.”

Yang Xiao smiled gently, saying:

”Don’t say such things; your life is precious. Always cherish your life at any moment.”

Yelu Caiyun nodded, her face showing shyness, and said:

”Now that we are nominally married, according to our custom, we should drink three cups of wine.”

Not far from the bedside was a table filled with pastries, fruits, a jug of wine, and two small wine glasses.

Yang Xiao felt somewhat hesitant.

Caiyun softly remarked:

”I know your heart is set on Xiao Ling; that you would contest with Xiao Ling over anything. But I will only marry once in my life, and even if you don’t want me, I will stay true for you.

You may consider this a false marriage, but I will regard it as my one and only marriage.”

Seeing the gentle gaze in Caiyun’s eyes, Yang Xiao nodded. With a gesture, the jug and wine glasses on the table flew towards them, and he poured two glasses. He and Caiyun clinked glasses and each drank one.

Then they poured another two glasses and drank those as well.

After the third cup, Caiyun said:

”It’s getting late; let’s get some rest.”

After saying this, Caiyun shyly glanced at Yang Xiao and then took off her bridal gown herself.

Yang Xiao quickly turned around.

Caiyun glanced at Yang Xiao, climbed into bed, and pulled the covers over herself.

Lying in bed, Caiyun turned her head to look at Yang Xiao and suddenly chuckled:

”Aren’t you going to bed? Is this how a groom behaves?”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

”Just so you know, it’s chilly at night. It’s a bit cold, hehe!”

Yang Xiao looked at Caiyun lying in bed comfortably under the covers, feeling quite dissatisfied,

Seriously going to sit the whole night like this?
