The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 679 Extra Chapter: Past and Present

"Old haunts can be found everywhere, but where can they be found, only the heart of a youth."

Victoria Peak, Hong Kong.

Xia Yu looked down at Victoria Harbour in the distance, sighed softly, and felt a pang of emotion.

More than a decade has passed, and the city has changed dramatically. He is no longer the young child he once was.

Noticing Xia Yu's sentiments, Zhi Shi, who was also looking down at the distant scenery, chuckled and replied, "As for your youthful spirit, I don't think you've ever lost it."

"Besides, today is Sakura's wedding, why use such melancholic poetry to express your feelings?"

"After all, it's a return to familiar places. Everywhere I can find faint traces of my past travels, so I thought of this line of poetry." Xia Yu turned his head to reply, then looked back at the mansion that was being decorated behind him.

Looking around, the Li family mansion is covered in a vibrant and festive Chinese red. Huge golden double happiness characters are pasted on the tall vermilion lintel, and strings of red lanterns hang from the eaves, swaying gently in the breeze.

In the courtyard and under the corridors, auspicious decorations can be seen everywhere—exquisitely carved dragon and phoenix patterns, pomegranate paper-cuts symbolizing many children and blessings, and potted peonies and peonies in full bloom.

Just by looking at the decorations, you can tell that the Li family has a very happy occasion today.

"I never expected them to choose to get married right after graduation. I thought they would drag it out for a few more years," Xia Yu said casually, looking around the festive Li family home.

“Two people who truly love each other will definitely want to become a real family as soon as possible,” Tomoyo said with a smile.

Today is the wedding of Li Xiaolang and Kinomoto Sakura. They waited until they graduated from university before choosing to get married.

The wedding was held at Li Xiaolang's place. After all, the Li family was a prestigious family, and Li Xiaolang was the next head of the family, so his wedding naturally had to be a grand banquet with many guests invited.

However, the engagement took place in Tomoeda Town. Xia Yu, who had attended the engagement ceremony not long ago, thought the two would wait a few years before getting married. Unexpectedly, they held their wedding immediately after the engagement.

I don't know who brought it up first. It could be Li Xiaolang, or it could be Xiaoying, but the most likely candidate is their parents.

The thought that Li Xiaolang might have been pressured to get married made Xia Yu want to laugh.

"Alright, I need to go help Sakura now. You can wander around by yourself for a while." After looking at the scenery for a while, Tomoyo glanced at the time, smiled at Natsume, and left.

Today is Sakura's wedding. Sakura was her bridesmaid at her previous wedding, so she will be Sakura's bridesmaid again today.

Of course, there is no "bridesmaid" in traditional Chinese weddings; instead, a "wedding attendant" takes on a similar role.

Although the matchmaker must be a married woman with children, she only meets the condition of being married for now, but I suppose Sakura and the others won't care that much.

After all, they've been friends for over a decade. If she didn't help, Sakura would probably come crying to her asking why.

Watching Zhi Shi leave, Xia Yu stretched and then also left.

He and Tomoyo were among the first to arrive. When they arrived, none of their other acquaintances had come yet. Now that they had waited so long, they figured that all the other acquaintances who were going to the wedding must have arrived by now.

Along the way, I didn't see any acquaintances, but I did see today's groom.

"Oh~ It's a wedding today."

"..."

Li Xiaolang, who was originally entertaining guests, turned around and rolled his eyes at Xia Yu when he heard the familiar greeting.

Why isn't he getting married today? Didn't you see they even put up the "double happiness" character?

After seating the guests who came to offer their congratulations, Li Xiaolang came to Xia Yu's side and replied, "If you have nothing to do, come and help me entertain the guests."

"You're really not being polite, huh?"

"Tch—do I need to be polite with you?"

"Tsk, you're getting less and less lovable."

Xia Yu clicked his tongue and shook his head, recalling the first time he met Li Xiaolang. He could make the boy blush with embarrassment and annoyance with just a few words.

But now, that arrogant little child has finally grown into an adult who is anything but cute.

Li Xiaolang was speechless when Xia Yu commented, "I'd like to ask you, when are you going to mature a bit? You're already in your mid-twenties."

"So what if you're in your twenties? A man is a boy until he dies, don't you understand?"

After making a sarcastic remark about Li Xiaolang, Xia Yu glanced at Li Xiaolang, who was dressed in formal attire, and sighed, "I never imagined that you'd be getting married so soon."

"Hearing you say that, it's like my marriage is some very strange thing." Li Xiaolang twitched the corner of his mouth. Today was supposed to be his big day, but this man didn't say a single nice thing.

"Hehe~ Xia Yu's words just now weren't entirely without merit." Suddenly, a bespectacled man with sly, narrow eyes walked over.

Looking at Li Xiaolang, who was about to get married today, Elio looked at him with a nostalgic look and said with emotion, "After all, when you were a child, you would blush and run away shyly after saying just a few words. I never thought that in the blink of an eye, you would be marrying the girl who would blush just by mentioning her name."

"Yes, that's it."

Xia Yu nodded quickly, echoing Elio, "That shy and arrogant little boy has grown into a mature and reliable adult. Time really flies."

Listening to the two of them discussing their past as if no one else was around, and feeling the curious gazes of the nearby guests, Li Xiaolang's fists gradually clenched.

Take a deep breath—

Today is his wedding day, the most important and joyous day of his life. He must not get angry, he must not get angry.

After repeatedly reminding himself of these words, Li Xiaolang forced a smile and said, "Gentlemen, I have to attend to other guests, so please excuse me for not keeping you company."

After saying that, Li Xiaolang left without looking back, which made Xia Yu and Elio exchange a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Xia Yu, you really haven't changed at all. Li Xiaolang is the same; he's still so easily teased."

"Same here, you're still as cunning as ever."

"I just don't want to be judged like that by you." Elio chuckled and shook his head.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two said goodbye and parted ways. Thinking back to how Eriol looked seven or eight parts similar to Clow Reed after he grew up, Xia Yu also felt a little emotional.

My childhood friends are all married now.

Not long after he married Tomoyo, Eriol also married the woman he loved, Kaho Mizuki.

They held their wedding in England. At that time, he and Tomoyo had just started their freshman year of college. They took advantage of the holiday to go to England with Sakura and the others to attend Eriol's wedding.

Looking back now, Li Xiaolang and Xiaoying were probably the last couple he knew to get married... wait, there seems to be another couple who haven't gotten married yet.

Xia Yu looked at another couple who had just arrived in the distance. The couple was a man and a woman. The man had black hair and purple eyes, and the woman had silver-gray hair and blue eyes.

The people there were none other than Kaito and Akiho, whom they hadn't seen in a long time. They had just arrived at the location indicated on the invitation.

"Hey~ you two, long time no see."

Akiho, who was looking around trying to find someone she knew, was pleasantly surprised when she heard this voice.

"Xia!"

"Still calling me classmate? I graduated a long time ago." Xia Yu walked over with a smile and greeted the two of them.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Qiu Sui was taken aback, scratched her head somewhat awkwardly, and said, "Then how should I address Xia Yu? Mr. Xia?"

"I think Mr. Xia Yu would prefer that you, Miss Qiu Sui, address him by his first name, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Xia Yu?"

"Since you know that, why do you still call me 'Your Excellency'?" Xia Yu looked at Hai Du, whose appearance had hardly changed in nearly ten years, and couldn't help but complain.

Kaito smiled slightly: "This is out of respect and gratitude."

Hearing their conversation, Akiho whispered, "How about I call him Lord Xia Yu too? After all, Xia Yu once..."

Snapped!
"it hurts!"

Suddenly flicked on the forehead, Akiho instinctively cried out in pain and looked up pitifully, asking, "Why did you flick me all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to play a little."

Xia Yu twirled his fingers and suddenly grinned wickedly: "It feels pretty good. Stick your head over here and let me flick it a few more times."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sui instinctively took a deep breath, quickly took several steps back, and tightly covered her forehead: "Please, please forgive me for refusing."

"Hehe~ I think Lord Xia Yu is using this behavior to reject Miss Qiu Sui's suggestion just now."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing Kaito's explanation, Akiho was taken aback and couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, saying, "If you're going to refuse, then refuse. Why did you have to flick me?"

"Because it's fun."

Xia Yu chuckled and said, "By the way, seeing that Sakura and Syaoran are both married, don't you two have any thoughts about it?"

"idea?"

Qiu Sui was stunned, and asked blankly, "What are you thinking?"

Kaito coughed subconsciously and said, "Well... I'm content just to be able to stay by Akiho-san's side like this."

Looking at this silly couple who were even more awkward than Sakura and Syaoran, Xia Yu said with exasperation, "It's about getting married! When are you two getting married? You're old enough, aren't you?"

"By the way, don't give me that 'I'm satisfied with things as they are now' nonsense. Don't you two want to become a real family? Since you like each other, go and get married."

"..."×2
Faced with these undisguised words of urging, Kaito and Akiho exchanged a glance, then subconsciously blushed and looked away.

After a long silence, Akiho whispered, "I...we'll consider it."

"Then let's decide quickly. I want to attend your wedding right after I attend Sakura's wedding."

After saying that, Xia Yu ignored the awkward and silly couple and left to find other acquaintances.

Watching Xia Yu's departing figure, Qiu Sui's eyes shimmered. After a pause, she looked at Hai Du beside her and asked softly.

"Mr. Kaito, will you... will you marry me?"

"..."

Kaito paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked at Akiko as if he had made up his mind, replying, "If Miss Akiko is also willing, I am."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sui's eyes lit up, and she nodded emphatically, smiling sweetly, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, Xia Yu, who had already left, walked around and greeted a few acquaintances before suddenly spotting a little guy.

The little guy has gray hair and black eyes, looks about five or six years old, and is quite cute. He is being held in the arms of several aunties, who are kissing and touching him here and there.

When Xia Yu noticed the little girl, the little girl also noticed Xia Yu and quickly waved to him for help.

"Help, help me!"

Looking at the little guy pleading for help, Xia Yu suppressed a laugh and walked over, saying, "Give up. Your parents couldn't escape back then, so don't even think about escaping."

The little guy's name is Kinomoto Misumi. He is the child of Touya and Yukito. He inherited Yukito's hair color and Touya's iris color. He has a gentle personality and is more like Yukito than Touya.

The aunties holding little Shi Cheng are Li Xiaolang's older sisters. Naturally, the older sisters wouldn't let such an adorable little Shi Cheng go.

Hearing Xia Yu's cold and indifferent reply, Xiao Cheng's eyes completely lost their light, and she was kissed and rubbed by her aunts like a rag doll.

For a moment, Xia Yu felt a pang of pity for them.

A few minutes later, after the older sisters were satisfied, Xia Yu finally managed to persuade them to give him Xiao Shicheng.

Freed from her predicament, Xiao Shicheng looked up at Xia Yu, who had saved her, and pouted: "If you weren't going to save me, then don't. Why did you lie to me, you bad uncle?"

"Who lied to you? Don't talk nonsense, little one."

Xia Yu carried Xiao Micheng to the pavilion in the backyard of the mansion. After finding a place to sit down, he told Xiao Micheng everything about how Touya and Yukito had been abused when they came here.

Hearing this, Xiao Shicheng's eyes widened, and her little mouth unconsciously opened wide: "R-really? Even Mom and Dad can't resist?"

"Of course, not only your parents, but even your Aunt Xiaoying couldn't escape the clutches of those older sisters. Just think how terrifying those older sisters are."

Recalling how close the aunties had been to her, Xiao Cheng trembled and quickly snuggled into Xia Yu's arms, saying fearfully, "Then you must protect me, good uncle."

"You've changed your mind already? Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you hide here with me."

Xia Yu chuckled and asked again, "By the way, have you told your father what I taught you?"

"This one……"

Upon hearing Xia Yu's question, Xiao Shicheng said somewhat guiltily, "I...I already said that."

"Oh, really?"

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Xiao Micheng, saying, "This smell... it smells like a lie!"

"Woo..."

Caught red-handed, Xiao Shicheng quickly buried her head in Xia Yu's arms and mumbled, "I'm sorry, I told Mom first, and then Mom said I can't tell Dad, or I'll be a bad child. I don't want to be a bad child."

"Then why did you say these things to your mother first? Couldn't you have said them to your father first?"

"This one……"

Xiao Cheng paused, then said weakly, "Dad told me not to get so close to Uncle Xia. He said Uncle Xia is a nasty person and that I shouldn't listen to anything he says. But Uncle Xia is so serious, so I thought I'd let Mom figure it out first..."

"Tsk, this lowly laborer is quite cautious."

Xia Yu clicked his tongue lightly. Although the other party had indeed predicted it, he was still somewhat annoyed.

No, the more the other party tries to stop him from doing it, the more he wants to do it.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu's lips curled into a smile: "It's okay, then I'll tell you a few more things that aren't bad. Make sure you tell Dad first, okay? If you tell Dad first, Uncle will take you next time..." "Take me..."

Xiao Shicheng looked up expectantly at Xia Yu, who was deliberately keeping her in suspense, and quickly asked, "Where are we going?"

"You must promise me that you will tell Dad what I tell you."

"I……"

Xiao Shicheng was a little conflicted, but then she thought that Xia Yu, this interesting uncle, had never disappointed her, and besides, it was just a few words...

"I promise!"

Xiao Shicheng made up her mind and assured Xia Yu. Seeing this, Xia Yu suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll trust Xiao Shicheng one more time. Listen carefully to what I'm about to say."

"Ahem, we're out of money. Old Deng should be rolling in gold coins."

"I heard from Uncle Little Wolf that you used to work every day, so you must have a lot of money. Give me some gold coins to spend."

"Seriously? Seriously? I only said a few words and you got angry? Old Deng, are you even capable of this?"

Listening to Xia Yu's ramblings, Xiao Shicheng couldn't understand a word he said, but because of her promise to Xia Yu, she nodded repeatedly and memorized what he said.

But why specifically mention Uncle Little Wolf? Hmm... never mind, she's just relaying these words anyway, so let's not delve into it.

Just as Xia Yu was about to say a few more words, a fist suddenly slammed into his head.

"Hey! What kind of weird things are you saying to a child? Don't set a bad example for her!"

Suddenly, a girl with long, straight black hair appeared and snatched Xiao Shicheng from Xia Yu's arms. She then lowered her head and warned Xiao Shicheng, "Don't listen to this guy. Those were bad things he said. Don't tell your dad, okay?"

Upon seeing the girl who had suddenly appeared, Misumi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Meiling."

"Yes, Mizuki, hello to you too."

Li Meiling smiled gently, then immediately changed her expression and glared at Xia Yu: "You bastard, isn't it enough that you've corrupted Xiao Cheng? Do you want to drag Xiao Lang down with you too?!"

"Hey—you're wronging me."

Xia Yu rubbed his head, which had been punched, and said innocently, "I was just trying to improve the relationship between Xiao Lang and my brother-in-law. How can you say I'm dragging him into this?"

"Pshaw, who would believe you?"

Li Meiling ignored Xia Yu's excuses and continued to instruct Xiao Cheng, "You absolutely cannot tell Daddy what you just said, understand?"

"Oh……"

Xiao Shicheng lowered her head weakly. She was now a little confused about whether she should say those things or not.
He had already made an appointment with Uncle Xia, but Aunt Meiling told him not to tell anyone...

Oh dear, Mizuki's head is spinning!
Frowning in distress, Xiao Shicheng was quite conflicted. She first looked at Uncle Xia Yu, then looked up at Aunt Meiling, wondering whether she should ask again.
"I'm telling you, Daidouji went to help Sakura, how can you just loiter around here?" Li Meiling couldn't help but rebuke Xia Yu, who was doing nothing.

Faced with the condemnation, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Meiling, who was dressed beautifully today, and also condemned her, "Let's not talk about me, what about you? Aren't you going to help Little Wolf?"

"What do you think I came here for? If I hadn't seen you corrupting Misumi, I would have been busy long ago."

Li Meiling rolled her eyes at Xia Yu, picked up Xiao Shicheng, turned around and left: "I'm taking Xiao Shicheng with me, hmph~"

"Tch~ I don't know how anyone could like someone as hot-tempered as you? That person must be a masochist." Xia Yu pouted and muttered under his breath.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Meiling, who had turned to leave, froze, turned back with a dangerous smile, and said, "What did you say!"

"Huh? Did I say anything? You must be hallucinating." Xia Yu coughed lightly, whistling guiltily as he looked away.

Seeing this, Li Meiling glared at Xia Yu before letting out a soft snort and leaving with Xiao Shicheng in her arms.

Once Li Meiling's figure was out of sight, Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today was his good brother's big day, so he wouldn't bother arguing with that girl.

After Li Meiling went to university, she found the boy who had eyes for her and finally found love.

The two have a very good relationship now, and it's estimated that it won't be long before they become a real family, just like Li Xiaolang and Xiaoying.

As Xia Yu's thoughts wandered, he left the backyard of the mansion. After strolling around for so long, he checked the time and realized the wedding was about to begin.

Unlike Western weddings, Chinese weddings also include a welcoming ceremony, where the groom personally goes to the bride's home to fetch her.

However, since the bride's family home was far away, even separated by a vast ocean, Xiaoying, as the bride, temporarily stayed in a boudoir set up in the Li residence.

Hearing the occasional noise outside, Sakura, who was in her room, felt a little nervous and subconsciously looked at Tomoyo, who was beside her.

"Tomoyo, how did you relieve the tension back then?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Tomoyo, who was filming Sakura, looked up and smiled, "There's no way to alleviate this. Let me tell you a secret, I wasn't much better off back then than you are now."

“Yes, that’s right.”

Upon receiving this answer, Sakura pressed her pounding heart and couldn't help but clutch her clothes tightly.

According to Xiaolang, she's getting married soon and is so nervous!

"The auspicious time has come!"

With a shout from outside the door, Sakura was momentarily at a loss. Before the wedding, Syaoran's mother had explained the process in detail, and if she heard this shout, it meant the wedding was about to begin.

"Sakura, do your best!"

Seemingly noticing Sakura's nervousness, Tomoyo gently took Sakura's hand and gave her an encouraging look.

Feeling Tomoyo's hand and encouragement, Sakura nodded emphatically: "Mm!"

……

On this auspicious day, we celebrate our marriage.

Amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums, the wedding of Syaoran and Sakura began.

Sakura, having left her boudoir, knelt deeply before her parents, who were seated in the hall, with Tomoyo's help. She then boarded the bridal sedan chair, waiting for the groom to come and fetch her.

Before long, Li Xiaolang, riding a tall horse adorned with red decorations, arrived in high spirits and, amidst the deafening sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers, joyfully welcomed his bride back to the Li family mansion.

Upon arrival, Li Xiaolang personally stepped forward, gently lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with a scale rod tied with red silk, and then carefully welcomed out his bride.

Stepping over a brazier filled with burning charcoal and scattered grains at the entrance, amidst cheers and blessings from the crowd, the newlyweds officially entered the Li family's gate.

Inside the main hall, red candles burned brightly, and on the incense table were the ancestral tablets of Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher, as well as the tablets of the Li family ancestors.

In the main seat sat Li Xiaolang's parents, both looking at their son and daughter-in-law with loving eyes.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

With a shout, Li Xiaolang and Xiaoying turned towards the door, bowed deeply, and thanked heaven and earth for witnessing their destiny.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

The two turned to the main seat and respectfully bowed to their parents, expressing their gratitude for their upbringing.

"Couple greetings!"

The newlyweds turned to each other, and through the red veil, Li Xiaolang could see Xiaoying's slightly lowered and flushed head and neck. He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.

Sakura gracefully returned the bow, and with this bow, she made a promise to stay together for life.

"The ceremony is complete—send them to the bridal chamber!"

With the final shout, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the hall.

The newlyweds, who had just tied the knot, were escorted into their carefully decorated new home, which was covered with the character for "double happiness".

Li Xiaolang picked up the scale rod, his hand trembling slightly. He composed himself and gently lifted the bright red veil in front of him.

Beneath the veil was Sakura, meticulously made up. The beaded curtain of her phoenix crown swayed slightly, revealing her bright, spring-like face. Her fair skin was flushed, and her large eyes were filled with shyness, happiness, and deep love as she gazed at him without blinking.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still. The surrounding noise vanished instantly, leaving only the clearest reflection in each other's eyes.

"It's time to drink the nuptial wine!"

As the matchmaker, Tomoyo brought out the nuptial wine, smiling as she interrupted the two who were gazing at each other. The two, coming back to their senses, blushed and, amidst the blessings and cheers of the crowd, drank the wine in one gulp.

From this day forward, we will share joys and sorrows, and be forever united in heart and mind.

After drinking the nuptial wine, the two smiled at each other, the sweet taste spreading from the tip of their tongues to the bottom of their hearts.

With the main ceremony over, the grand wedding banquet began, and Syaoran and Sakura changed into relatively light but still festive clothes.

As the main characters of the day, they also need to toast the guests who came to congratulate them, as a way of expressing their gratitude.

Led by Xiaolang's parents, they first toasted Xiaoying's parents, and then went to Xia Yu's table.

Before they could even speak, the little wolf's father had already offered a toast: "Thank you for your help, which allowed me to participate in my son's wedding as a living person. I am truly grateful."

In response to the wolf cub's father's gratitude, Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "Didn't I already express my gratitude? Why bother again?"

Back when he resurrected Sakura's mother, he also resurrected Syaoran's father.

Unlike concealing Sakura's mother's resurrection, he did not conceal Syaoran's father's resurrection. After all, compared to Nadeshiko's side, who knew nothing, Syaoran's father's side was at least a magical family.

It suddenly came back to life, which was still surprising, but not to the point of being completely incomprehensible.

Of course, this was just Xia Yu's own idea. Contrary to what he imagined, the Li family, being a family of magicians, was even less able to understand why a person could be brought back to life.

After all, the fact that the dead cannot be brought back to life is an unchangeable truth in this world.

Therefore, Li Xiaolang's parents respected the mysterious and unpredictable Xia Yu even more than Li Xiaolang himself.

When Xia Yu tried to say something more about his excuse, Xia Yu interrupted him, saying, "They are the main characters today. Let's just let this matter go and not mention it again."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolang's father had no choice but to stop talking, step aside, and leave the rest to the newlyweds, Li Xiaolang and Xiaoying.

"Honestly, I didn't expect your father to be so old-fashioned. He clearly said there was no need to thank him." After Xiaolang's parents left, Xia Yu muttered a complaint to Li Xiaolang.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang shrugged and replied, "You underestimate yourself. This is a case of being brought back from the dead. Do you think you can just let it go so easily?"

"Then why are you still treating me like this? Shouldn't you be thanking me? After all, I brought your dad back to life."

"..."

Li Xiaolang rolled his eyes and retorted, "I would like to respect you, but... tsk."

Li Xiaolang clicked his tongue lightly, as if everything was understood without words.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to worry about my table. Hurry up and go toast the others. There are so many guests, you'll have plenty to drink next."

Xia Yu looked around the entire hall. If they really drank like this, without using magic, Li Xiaolang would probably get completely drunk before even reaching half of the cup.

"Alright, you can enjoy the banquet now. Sakura and I are going to toast the other guests." Li Xiaolang waved to Xia Yu and then pulled Sakura to toast the other guests.

Not long after Li Xiaolang left, a figure suddenly sat down next to Xia Yu, put an arm around his shoulder, and laughed maliciously.

"Hey kid, did you teach Misaki some weird stuff again?"

Hearing the question in his ear, Xia Yu replied blankly, "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you said?"

Touya, who was already around thirty, tightened his grip and said with a vicious smile, "Is that so? Then do you need me to help you remember?"

"Are you sure? Today is your little sister's big day, are you sure you want to do anything?"

Upon hearing this, Touya paused, then couldn't help but lower his voice and shout, "What do you think I am? What do you think I would do?"

Without waiting for Xia Yu's reply, Touya opened a bottle of wine and placed it in front of Xia Yu, then opened a bottle for himself.

"Come drink with me, and you can't leave until you've got me drunk!"

"Oh?"

Xia Yu raised an eyebrow and teased, "Are you planning to drown your sorrows in alcohol? Seriously? You're over thirty, and you're still so upset about your sister getting married? Your sister-obsessed attitude is a bit outrageous."

"Shut up and drink!"

Touya slammed his fist on the table, picked up a bottle of liquor, and started chugging it. After finishing the whole bottle, he pushed the bottle in front of Xia Yu away.

"It's your turn."

"Alright, seeing how depressed you are, I'll have a drink with you." Xia Yu laughed, picked up the bottle, and downed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Touya opened two more bottles of wine without saying a word, and then he and Xia Yu chug one bottle after another.

Time passed slowly, and soon the noise gradually subsided, bringing the joyous day to a close.

Touya ultimately couldn't outdrink Natsume and was helplessly helped away by Fujitaka. Before leaving, the man in his thirties shed tears.

Then Xia Yuzai carefully filmed it, planning to tease Taoya properly after Taoya woke up.

After toasting everyone, Li Xiaolang also ended up drunk and had to be helped back to the bridal chamber by Xiaoying. It seems he won't be able to have a wedding night tonight.

Although Xia Yu was also a little dizzy, he wasn't completely drunk. After saying goodbye to Xiao Lang's family, he went back to the hotel with Zhi Shi.

Now that everything has settled, all that remains is to look forward to the future.
