Chapter 44: Wedding Night
“Delicious!”
Qi Yue nodded obediently, without hesitation, and responded. He didn’t notice anything wrong.
Shen Kuozhi watched as Qi Yue’s cheeks flushed pink, his lips moist and glossy, his eyes misty and dazed. This cute appearance, eight or nine times out of ten, indicated intoxication.
Considering they were in a public setting, Shen Kuozhi refrained from flirting with Qi Yue further.
Qi Yue’s eating slowed down as they progressed, hardly ever reaching for dishes on his own. He would only eat when Shen Kuozhi fed him.
Shen Kuozhi used a coaxing tone with Qi Yue, saying, “Just one more bite?”
“No, I can’t eat anymore.”
Qi Yue shook his head decisively, refusing.
Their little actions were all seen by the guests at the main table, who smiled at the affection between the couple. If only Lin Xiao and Qi Yue had similar alcohol tolerance, they would witness scenes sweet enough to give cavities and enough to expose Qi Yue’s lies.
If Lin Xiao were sober at this moment, he would definitely tease Qi Yue afterwards.
This was what he called no feelings? This was a business relationship?
If these two weren’t involved, he might as well not have legs!
Unfortunately, Lin Xiao was not sober at the moment, only knowing to laugh foolishly with Qi Yue.
After the meal, guests could continue socializing and enjoying the entertainment facilities here.
Meanwhile, Shen Kuozhi took Qi Yue to rest. After all, there was another wedding to be held at the Shen family’s main residence in the evening, attended only by members of the Shen family lineage.
“Yue Yue, let’s go rest.”
“Rest? Okay…”
Shen Kuozhi watched as Qi Yue sat in place, his head bobbing slightly. He exchanged greetings with the other Shen family members and then took Qi Yue to the club’s lounge to rest.
“Can you walk by yourself?”
“I can! How could I not be able to walk when I have hands and feet…”
As he finished speaking, Qi Yue earnestly poked his own legs with his hand.
Shen Kuozhi chuckled and motioned for him to follow, but Qi Yue stood still by his side, not moving.
As expected, Qi Yue tried to stand up but ended up sitting back down.
Shen Kuozhi suppressed a laugh, bending slightly and leaning towards Qi Yue, teasingly asking, “Are your legs weak?”
“Hmm… It’s so strange… Why can’t I stand up?”
Qi Yue tilted his head, looking puzzled at Shen Kuozhi.
Shen Kuozhi lightly chuckled, his right hand resting on Qi Yue’s slender waist as he said, “You can stand up with my support, remember to hold on tight~”
“Yeah! Okay!”
Qi Yue nodded, holding onto Shen Kuozhi’s outstretched left hand and slowly standing up.
With Shen Kuozhi supporting him, this time he managed to stand steadily.
“Let’s go.”
Shen Kuozhi, almost surrounding Qi Yue with his posture, led him to the room to rest.
Unexpectedly, as Qi Yue took a few steps, he tightly pressed against Shen Kuozhi’s chest.
Even through their clothes, Shen Kuozhi could feel Qi Yue’s warmth.
The faint scent of sandalwood emanating from Qi Yue seemed to linger around Shen Kuozhi’s nose, teasingly present yet elusive.
When Shen Kuozhi lowered his head, he could easily kiss Qi Yue’s forehead. Seeing the obedient Qi Yue in his arms, Shen Kuozhi’s heart softened immensely. He truly wished to remain in this beautiful moment forever.
Shen Kuozhi had also consumed quite a bit of alcohol. While he had a much stronger tolerance than Qi Yue, his body still wasn’t suited for drinking. If it weren’t for the joyous occasion today, he would avoid alcohol altogether.
Upon reaching the room, Shen Kuozhi carefully led Qi Yue to the edge of the bed. Suppressing a few coughs, he frowned and rubbed his stomach.
Qi Yue obediently sat beside Shen Kuozhi on the bed. Hearing a few coughs from above, he looked up at Shen Kuozhi and asked, “Are you okay? Is it your stomach?”
Subconsciously, Qi Yue reached out and rubbed Shen Kuozhi’s stomach. “Is it uncomfortable here? Should we call a doctor?”
Seeing Qi Yue’s earnest gaze, despite being intoxicated and still concerned, Shen Kuozhi couldn’t help but soften. He chuckled and said, “I’m fine, you go to sleep.”
As he finished speaking, Shen Kuozhi’s stomach felt even worse. He hurriedly went to the bathroom.
“It’s not okay! Let’s call a doctor.”
Following closely behind him, Qi Yue furrowed his attractive brows, his eyes hazy as he watched the closed door of the bathroom.
Shen Kuozhi didn’t insist on being strong either. After vomiting, he promptly called the accompanying doctor.
It turned out to be just in time for the doctor to prescribe a sobering medicine for Qi Yue.
After the doctor’s visit, Shen Kuozhi fed Qi Yue the sobering medicine, and Qi Yue couldn’t resist the drowsiness and fell asleep completely.
When he woke up, it was already around four in the afternoon. Sitting up in bed, the blanket slid down to his waist, and he immediately noticed Shen Kuozhi resting on the sofa.
His memory before falling asleep was fuzzy, only remembering bits and pieces. Shen Kuozhi seemed to have given him medicine after returning him home, but he couldn’t recall the specifics.
Getting off the bed, Qi Yue walked towards Shen Kuozhi.
To his surprise, he found that Shen Kuozhi hadn’t slept at all.
“It’s four o’clock already. Why didn’t you wake me up?” Qi Yue said apologetically.
Putting down his laptop and taking off his glasses, Shen Kuozhi replied, “It’s alright. We’re all family tonight, no need to fuss too much.”
Qi Yue felt even more embarrassed after Shen Kuozhi’s words.
They’re your family, not mine.
After tidying up a bit, they prepared to return to the Shen family’s old mansion.
Qi Yue initially thought Shen Kuozhi wasn’t in a hurry, but he realized he had been fooled when they arrived at the old mansion.
The Shen family’s old mansion was filled with joyous festivities, and when they arrived, most of the Shen family members were already present.
It turned out that the protagonists of today’s event were the last to arrive.
“Kuozhi, Little Qi, you two are quite something, arriving last. Shouldn’t you be punished for that?” Shen Mengyu greeted them with a smile, teasingly.
Shen Kuozhi chuckled and said, “Yes, yes, we should be punished.”
“Haha~ Kuozhi, now isn’t the time for you two to be lovey-dovey. If you want to be lovey-dovey, you have to inform us first,” Meng Jiang, Shen Kuozhi’s aunt, came over, welcoming them while joking.
“That’s right, we still have the wedding night to celebrate tonight. Don’t go to bed too early,” Shen Hanxin chimed in shamelessly.
At this moment, Mrs. Shen noticed them and smiled warmly, saying, “Alright, alright, stop teasing this young couple. Kuozhi is a bit shy. Come on, it’s time to eat.”
The gathering at the Shen family was just a simple dinner, where everyone came together to enjoy a meal and present the prepared gifts to the newlyweds. There were no elaborate ceremonies or rituals.
Members of the Shen family’s main lineage were few, some were still abroad and hadn’t returned yet. Qi Yue had already met those present, so they were considered acquaintances.
Knowing that Shen Kuozhi wasn’t feeling well and had consumed quite a bit of alcohol in the morning, both Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue refrained from drinking during the family banquet in the evening.
After dinner, the two received various beautifully packaged gifts from everyone. They played some entertainment games together, and by nine o’clock in the evening, a few young members of the Shen family accompanied the newlyweds to their bridal chamber to liven things up.
On the way to their new home, Qi Yue felt exhausted from the day’s events.
“How long do you think they’ll keep partying? Are they going to stay there overnight?” Qi Yue leaned back in his seat, turning to Shen Kuozhi.
It was evident that Shen Kuozhi was also tired, but his good manners kept him composed, sitting there without looking disheveled.
“No, it’s just for fun,” Shen Kuozhi said with a slight smile, trying to reassure Qi Yue in a relaxed tone.
Upon arriving at their new home, Shen Hanxin and Shen Mengyu seemed to have planned it together. They brought out a sound system and played lively music.
As the eldest among the Shen family’s younger generation, they led the others, creating a lively atmosphere as they walked through the new house.
When they reached the entrance of the master bedroom, Shen Hanxin said to Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue, “You two go in first. It’s time for the wedding night~”
After a lively and bustling day, it was almost ten o’clock. Everyone was tired, but according to the Shen family’s tradition, since they hadn’t separated households yet, the newlyweds had to spend their first night at the Shen family’s old mansion.
So, after the festivities in their new home, Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue still had to return to the Shen family’s old mansion to sleep.
On the way back, Qi Yue initially just wanted to rest his eyes, but he ended up falling asleep directly.
When he woke up again, his head was resting on Shen Kuozhi’s shoulder, and the pleasant fragrance emanating from Shen Kuozhi surrounded his nose.
Qi Yue quickly felt embarrassed and sat up straight.
“How long did I sleep? Sorry about that, did I bother you?” Qi Yue reached out and gave Shen Kuozhi’s shoulder a light squeeze. He probably hadn’t slept for too long since they hadn’t arrived at the Shen family’s house yet, so it couldn’t have been more than two hours.
Shen Kuozhi, who was about to say “It’s okay,” changed his tune after feeling Qi Yue’s hand on his shoulder.
“A bit. Can you massage it for me?” Shen Kuozhi unexpectedly took Qi Yue’s suggestion seriously.
Though Qi Yue wasn’t sure why he had ended up leaning on Shen Kuozhi’s shoulder, the fact was he had already done so, making the situation quite awkward.
But before Qi Yue could give a few squeezes, Shen Kuozhi chuckled and said, “Just kidding. You didn’t sleep for long.”
“Huh?”
Qi Yue didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi, who seemed so serious, to joke around like this. Seeing Shen Kuozhi’s smiling face, Qi Yue withdrew his hand but not before giving Shen Kuozhi’s shoulder a light tap.
When they arrived back at the Shen mansion, it was already eleven o’clock, and Mrs. Shen had already gone to bed.
Only the younger generation was still awake, as Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue’s wedding had brought the Shen family together for a rare gathering, and everyone was staying in the main mansion tonight.
Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue stayed in the same room, which used to be Shen Kuozhi’s room before he moved out as an adult. Now it had been redecorated a bit.
Two pillows were placed side by side on the bed, symbolizing something obvious.
Qi Yue knew that he would be sleeping with Shen Kuozhi tonight, but since they were both men, he thought they would just sleep under the covers. After all, he had done it before, recently even, when he slept with Lin Xiao. No big deal.
But when Shen Kuozhi finished washing up and came out, Qi Yue felt like there might be a big problem after all.
