Chapter 73: What Are This Couple Doing? My… Dear Mother!
Although Xi Yun promised Le Can not to hide from him anymore, there weren’t actually many opportunities for the two to meet in the following two days.
After sleeping alone for three days, the time quickly arrived at the fourth day, the day of Le Can and Xi Yun’s wedding.
Compared to the preparation time of half a year to over a year usually taken by others of the same social class, this wedding was considered rather hasty in the eyes of outsiders.
This point was quite controversial outside, and different people had different opinions and thoughts.
Some felt that the new boss of Wei Yuan Jing, who had kept himself clean for over twenty years, finally met someone he liked after so many years. When a young man with vigorous hormones suddenly encounters love, isn’t it just like heavenly thunder triggering earth fire!
Being in a rush was very normal. Besides, times had changed; young people advocated minimalist weddings, focusing more on each other than on formalities.
Others believed that combining the wedding with the auction was actually just for attention. What love? In a circle that advocated profit alliances, saying such words was hilarious to the extreme.
Especially after the inheritance conditions of the Nian family were exposed, these people were even more convinced of this. Before even boarding the ship, they had characterized the other protagonist of the wedding as a tool.
Le Can, who was holding Xi Yun’s arm and stepping onto the helicopter, suddenly sneezed.
His footing was unstable, and he rushed forward. Xi Yun lowered his eyes helplessly, reaching out to block the waist of the person in front of him, which appeared exceptionally tight and narrow wrapped in the suit, steadily intercepting him and placing him in the seat beside him.
Le Can rubbed his itchy nose and blinked at Xi Yun.
[Thank you, our Xi Yun. Reliable men are the most handsome!]
The huge noise of the helicopter propeller buzzed continuously in their ears. At this time, speaking or shouting was less convenient than a look.
Mischievous eyes paired with lively inner thoughts softened Xi Yun’s cold brows and eyes silently. He reached out to block the staff member who wanted to help and personally fastened the seatbelt for the person beside him.
Le Can glanced lightly at Xi Yun’s action. While smiling and cooperating with him, he turned his gaze to circle the interior of the helicopter.
Based on his previous experience attending weddings, the couple had to arrive early to welcome guests. Le Can thought that on the day before the wedding, he and Xi Yun would have to set off to return to the country.
But the fact was, they not only stayed on the private island until the day itself, without waking up early for styling like most newlywed couples, but they were even taking a helicopter directly to the wedding location!
Le Can had flown in planes many times, but riding a helicopter was truly a first-time experience.
He raised his hand to rub his tortured ears and took the black headset Xi Yun handed over, clamping it onto his head.
Honestly, helicopters were very loud. Even with excellent noise-canceling headsets, they could only reduce noise, not eliminate it.
Fortunately, after putting on the headset, it was indeed much quieter. Having experienced the deafening noise before, enduring this bit of sound now was a piece of cake.
Everything was ready, and the propeller overhead spun at high speed. Unlike private jets that taxi for a long distance before takeoff, the helicopter ascended vertically directly.
Feeling a moment of weightlessness and a slight push back, Le Can realized they were away from the ground.
Looking from afar at the shrinking castle, beach, and island outside the window, although he had only stayed for less than a week, the sorrow of parting still quietly poked a corner out of his heart.
In the future, he might not find such a beautiful, unpolluted, and rarely visited beach to look at that patch of azure sea…
After feeling emo for a short while, his thoughts suddenly went astray to the future house worth 150 million.
[Mmh, I wonder where that house is?]
[Houses by the sea aren’t good for long-term living. If it’s not far from the sea and allows for a round trip in one day, that would be best…]
[Ideally, it would have a big yard. No need to plant many flowers, just scattered as embellishments. More space can be used to grow some vegetables and melons.]
[And a grape trellis, with a bamboo lounge chair placed under the trellis.]
Just like… in his vague childhood memories…
Xi Yun, looking straight ahead, suddenly lowered his eyes.
As if contemplating something with lowered brows, when he looked up again, he seemed to cast a nonchalant glance to his side, looking at the youth’s side profile which showed nothing unusual.
Le Can didn’t notice the small movement of the person beside him. He quickly put away the loneliness in his eyes and cast his gaze out the window to the side.
Xi Yun’s private island soon disappeared from view. Looking out from the helicopter, there was an endless blue ocean in all directions.
During the day when the sunlight was good, the sea was very clear. Occasionally, seabirds could be seen flying over the water surface, diving fiercely into the water, quickly snatching up unknown small fish, and flying away.
Shadows of fish schools underwater appeared and disappeared. He couldn’t see clearly what species of fish they were, but watching the speed at which the school changed, Le Can could guess there must be predators following behind them.
Survival was nature’s eternal theme. Le Can, who was no longer trapped by survival after living again, propped up his chin at this moment, suddenly clearly realizing his luck.
[The ocean is truly a wondrous place.]
—Le Can thought.
Xi Yun, hearing this inner voice, took a moment to glance at the blue sea outside the window.
Le Can emptied his mind, pressing the back of his head against the seatback, slowly closing his eyes, his body and mind stretched and relaxed as never before.
The ocean buried his parents, along with his past. And now, it seemed to be reminding him to look forward…
Le Can, who hadn’t picked up a pen to design a piece of jewelry since being plagiarized and slandered, suddenly had new inspiration because of a sea that was the same yet different.
He closed his eyes, his thoughts transforming into the handiest pen, wielding wildly and unrestrainedly in his mind.
Among the messy interwoven lines, suddenly some slowly strengthened while others were erased. Gradually, a preliminary sketch, full of spiritual energy yet hard to hide its messiness, was born in Le Can’s mind.
To the outside world, the youth who seemed to be resting with eyes closed had a faint, comfortable smile hanging on the corners of his eyes and mouth.
Almost at the same time, the man sitting beside him lowered his eyes and smiled silently as well.
Opposite them, Yuan Cheng and Xie Jun, dressed to the nines, looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
No, what are this couple doing?
Telepathy? Hearts linked as one?
But while feeling puzzled and finding it ridiculous, it felt like something was stuffed into their stomachs from across the air. For a moment, they felt uncomfortably full… Woof!
This atmosphere of silence tinged with weirdness lasted for a long time. Finally, at a certain moment, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone’s noise-canceling headsets.
“Landing soon, everyone please get ready.”
After this voice sounded, everyone waiting silently in the cabin involuntarily lifted their spirits. Slumping bodies sat up straight instantly, unfocused eyes gathered in a second, then looked out the window with piercing gazes.
Le Can, who was pondering what material to use for the main stone, could only sigh lightly, suppress many thoughts to the bottom of his heart, and open his eyes following everyone’s pace.
The next second, Le Can, taking in the entire cruise ship situation from a high vantage point, abruptly widened his lazy peach-blossom eyes, his heart flooded with a screen of exclamations.
[My… dear mother!]
A massive object floated quietly on the azure sea surface, like a slumbering prehistoric beast, as if it could overturn the waves in the next second.
Because they weren’t very far, Le Can, who had excellent vision in this life, saw the dense crowd looking up at them on the top deck in a second. Even among the crowd, there was an irregular swimming pool that couldn’t be ignored!
He held his breath and slowly moved his gaze downward.
After seeing one layer, two layers, three layers… decks too numerous to count at a glance, Le Can felt a wave of dizziness.
Belatedly, he experienced the feeling of high-altitude hypoxia.
When hearing about a cruise wedding, Le Can had always thought the cruise ship was the kind of luxury cruise ship commonly seen in rivers and lakes with three to five decks. The kind that could accommodate a few hundred people at a time.
Le Can had seen that level of cruise ship when watching the riverside night view. For him, who was strapped for cash at the time, that was already an unreachable existence.
But he didn’t expect that the big guy Xi Yun got from who knows where was the real… behemoth!
The cruise ships he had seen before, placed beside this guy, would simply be like a childish doll standing next to an adult; there was absolutely no comparability between the two.
While dizzy, his brain also became sluggish.
Le Can tried to count from bottom to top, then from top to bottom. When counting close to ten, he clicked his tongue. When exceeding ten and then fifteen, the surprise seemed to rise to a threshold and began to become numb.
When he counted to sixteen, a clear voice reached his ears.
“A total of 16 decks, capable of accommodating over five thousand people at the same time.”
Le Can instantly turned his head to look at the owner of the voice.
The next second, the tip of his nose met the cold cheek belonging to another person. Two completely different pairs of eyes saw each other’s existence separated only by a fist’s distance.
Le Can’s mouth opened and closed several times, but no words came out.
However, his leaked inner voice asked the doubt in his heart on behalf of his mute throat.
[How did you… do it?]
Whether chartering such a big cruise ship or organizing such a big event, exactly how much effort did the other party put in during that limited time?
Only then did Le Can suddenly realize why Xi Yun was so busy. And the weight of what the other party had been busy with was truly perceived by him.
Xi Yun reached out, his cool fingertips gently tapping the furrowed center of the brow of the person in front of him.
“Thought of it, so I did it.”
How did he do it?
Because the prototype of this wedding existed from the very beginning.
Le Can didn’t know that when Xi Yun brought him back from the Le family, he had already begun planning and preparing for a wedding. It was just that initially, the type of wedding wasn’t like this.
Many things in the middle were overturned; many things underwent almost earth-shaking changes. But precisely because there was a foundation, everything could proceed in an orderly manner.
Otherwise, in such a short time, even with throwing more money, many necessary things couldn’t be organized in a short period.
At first, many aspects of this wedding were procedural matters. In the process of the two getting along, the hollow wedding was slowly filled with emotions, gradually becoming like a real wedding…
Facts proved that with heart, anything can be done.
Le Can’s heart was suddenly injected with an inexplicable strength.
He looked at the top deck gradually enlarging outside the window, saw the strange crowd with different expressions standing outside the railing, and his clenched palm held determination hiding a touch of nervousness.
Xi Yun organized the “battlefield” so well, he wouldn’t…
He absolutely wouldn’t hold the other party back!!!
