Epilogue

  It's June again this year.

  This summer seems to have arrived especially early, it started getting hot in May and by June, it's as hot as the Dog Days. Er Xi helped Weiwei carry a cooling mat, panting as they climbed upstairs, complaining all the way: "Weiwei, isn't this a high-end residential area? How can the elevator be broken?"

  "What's so high-end, just the housing prices are high." Weiwei was also exhausted, she had more things than Erxi, two big bags full of odds and ends, and her arms were still holding two quilts.

  Xiaoling and Sisi fell behind them, with slightly lighter hands, one holding a set of tea sets, the other hugging a large vase...

  These are all the things I just bought at the supermarket...

  It was originally just a dinner together, but when Weiwei mentioned that she had picked up her wedding dress today, Xiaoling and the others clamored to come see it. Weiwei then made an impromptu trip to the supermarket, buying many things and treating them like movers...

  Xiaoling asked weakly: "How much longer until we arrive?"

  "Haven't you been here before?"

  "But I'm already exhausted."

  "Wiping sweat with a slight lift of his hand: 'We'll be there soon, just two more floors to climb.'"

  "There are still two floors!" Silky wailed.

  She struggled to get up and climbed two more floors, slightly opening the door, Xiaoling and others rolled onto the sofa. Er Xi was lying down, her eyes scanning the room, suddenly having a strange idea, saying: "Weiwei, when I find a man, let your family's great god help me design one."

  "I also want one, I like the style of your home." Xiaoling echoed. She and Er Xi were not their first time back to Weiwei's house, but every time they came, they would habitually praise a few sentences.

  "I also have designs, why didn't you look for me?"

  "Cut, all you design is rotten parts."

  She felt slightly depressed. It's always like this, the plan was clearly designed by her and Da Shen together, but everyone who saw it attributed the credit to Da Shen.

  Alas, under the dazzling light of the great god, when will she have her day in the sun?

  It was her first time coming to Weiwei's place, having had something come up the previous two times. Taking advantage of their conversation, she began wandering around the room.

  This high-rise residential unit in Mingwei Garden was purchased by Da Shen's parents and given to Weiwei and Xiaonai as a gift when they got engaged last Mid-Autumn Festival.

  To be honest, I never thought that parents have an obligation to buy a house for their children. However, if the elders themselves still live in the old dormitory-style apartments allocated by the school, it's a different story.

  When Weiwei received the house, she felt a little guilty. The money that Dashen earned was not wanted by his parents, so Weiwei thought that since Dashen had the money himself, why did he still want his parents to buy it? Although they only paid the down payment, the down payment was already several hundred thousand yuan, and for professors of history and archaeology who didn't have much income, several hundred thousand might be a large part of their savings.

  And they don't necessarily have to buy a new house either, the one Xiaonai used to live in was fine too.

  Xiao Nai felt a bit helpless after understanding her thoughts, and explained: "They are used to living in school because my grandfather used to live there. My dad was his student, and they met in that house."

  Xiao Nai said with a hint of amusement, "Besides, my parents aren't that poor."

  Later, Professor Lin learned about this and her fondness for Weiwei increased. The intention of giving is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Professor Lin was in a very good mood, while reminding Xiao's father not to always mention the shortage of archaeological funds in front of his future daughter-in-law, making his future daughter-in-law think that their family "lacks funds", and at the same time, she rummaged through her own things, planning to give some away.

  It turned out that on the eve of the wedding, Weiwei received a pair of sheep's fat white jade bracelets that were said to be family heirlooms. Only then did Weiwei realize that what Da Shen had said was true. For families like theirs who valued education and culture, outsiders might think they were poor, but it turned out that the paintings hanging on their walls were actually priceless masterpieces by famous artists.

  But this bracelet made Weiwei very nervous. Gold has a price, jade is priceless, let alone sheep fat white jade. Although the goddess said it was just an ordinary quality, Weiwei still fell into the terror of being afraid to damage the bracelet and decided to wear it only once at the wedding.

  "Come on, hurry up and get the wedding dress out already!" Xiaoling urged Weiwei.

  "Go take a look in the bedroom, I'm too tired to move."

  Weiwei and Xiaonai's wedding was in Chinese style, so the wedding dress was naturally a pure traditional cheongsam. The silver-gilt phoenix crown shone brightly, the magnificent golden dragon sleeve shirt was exceptionally beautiful, and the exquisite embroidered shoes were all made from the same fabric as Meng You 2's wedding dress, filling six or seven large boxes.

  Xixi carefully brought out the phoenix crown: "This phoenix crown is beautiful, I thought it was that kind of hat, I don't like that kind."

  "That hat is pretty too, it's just too heavy," said Weiwei.

  "Wow, how much does this cost?" Er Xi asked while fiddling with the beads on top.

  Weiwei said a number, and Er Xi burst out: "My god, you actually put a toilet on your head!"

  "......Can't you say something more pleasant......" He felt slightly depressed for a moment, then nervously defended himself, "The great god said this won't depreciate, so it doesn't count as spending money......"

  Xiaoling also chimed in: "Everyone has more than a dozen toilets on their hands, wearing one or two doesn't matter."

  Er Xi crouched beside the bed, looking at Si Si's hand holding the phoenix crown: "Even if it won't depreciate, it still can't lay eggs, is it worth it?"

  "Oh dear, it's fine as long as Weiwei can lay eggs."

  A scene suddenly emerged in her mind - a round, smooth white eggshell, which suddenly cracked open, and a chubby little baby poked out of the shell, shaking back and forth, with shiny black eyes staring at her, opening his tender small mouth...

  Weiwei hastily stopped the train of imagination before he shouted out, silently reciting "I am born from a fetus" one hundred times...

  "I love this dress," Xiaoling stroked the embroidery on the wedding dress, her mouth watering, "Why do we have to learn from the West and wear white wedding dresses? Our traditional phoenix coronet and dragon robes are much more beautiful."

  "Yes," Er Xi said, "When I was a kid, I most envied the costumes in martial arts films and would often wrap myself in a bed sheet to pretend to be wearing ancient clothes."

  "Come on, let's see the effect."

  "I won't wear..."

  Contemptuous gazes instantly shot towards her, slightly discontented: "Can you guys really?"

  Three girls looked at the clothes and N strips on the belt, looking at each other in dismay. Xi immediately changed the subject and sighed: "Oh my, I didn't expect you guys to get married."

  "Come on, must you rush things? Getting married right after graduation isn't like she's pregnant or anything."

  Weiwei was teased by Yuguang and others a lot, but Erxi didn't care about this at all: "Afraid you'll leave too late and won't receive the red envelopes."

  Xiaoling found it unbelievable: "Weiwei, you agreed to marry him just like that. Why didn't you drag it out for two years?"

  Xī xī said with a smile: "How can you be sure that Xiao Da Shen is anxious? Maybe we are the ones who are more anxious?"

  Xiao Ling suddenly said: "Right! How come I didn't think of it in reverse? Weiwei, you're not going to propose, are you?"

  "Of course not."

  Er Xi excitedly asked: "How did that great god propose? Were there flowers, a ring, and did he kneel down?"

  "...... Second Uncle, nowadays even TV dramas are not so rustic."

  "Come on!" Er Xi urged her.

  "Uh, haven't I been interning at his company for two years? But I've never gotten paid. One day I suddenly remembered this and asked him about it, then he said..."

  A faintly silly expression.

  Er Xi and Si Si looked at her expectantly.

  "He said... no money, but one person."

  "Your family's god is indeed sinister year after year."

  Xiaoling and the others carefully examined each item of clothing, shoes, and accessories. It was almost 9 o'clock, and if they didn't leave soon, it would be too late. Weiwei sent them to the bus station, but before they reached the entrance of the residential area, a black sedan slowly stopped beside them.

  The car door opened and a tall, handsome figure stepped out of the vehicle.

  "Big Brother." Xiaoling and the others shouted in unison.

  Xiao Nai and the others nodded: "You're here."

  Under the streetlight, Xiao Nai looked even more elegant and refined two years later. And in these two years, this already graduated senior brother became increasingly legendary in the mouths of his junior brothers and sisters. Xiaoling and the others, although they were very outspoken in front of Weiwei, would involuntarily become well-behaved when they saw him.

  Xī Xī said: "We're leaving now, won't disturb Big Brother anymore."

  Er Xi couldn't help but smile slyly and said: "Shixiong, why don't you let Weiwei come back with us to live today?"

  She slightly pouted and I stared at her. If she wants to go back and live there, does she still need someone's approval?!

  Xiao Nai glanced at her slightly and said with a hint of a smile: "I'm afraid it's not possible today."

  It's a problem that can be completely ignored, but he actually answered seriously and made her slightly annoyed. Xiao Nai pretended not to see her protesting gaze and politely said to Er Xi and the others: "It's too late, I'll send you back."

  Xiao Nai sent his roommate back to school, and then returned home to pick up the wedding dress on the bed. As he was tidying up, he suddenly thought of something and stopped moving. It occurred to him that there was actually a time when he should have proposed too.

  That night on this bed, they hastily ended again. He held her quietly for a while and suddenly asked in her ear: "When will you let me graduate?"

  "Huh?" She asked back in confusion, "What did you graduate from?"

  "He replied: 'Haven't I already spent two years studying in the Department of Automatic Control?'"

  Having been with Xiao Nai for so long, Wei Wei's understanding ability has already reached a superhuman level, and she quickly analyzes and solves the problem.

  Automatic Control System

  Self-control system...

  Self-control...

  Thinking of this, Wei's face was almost as red as the clothes in her hand. They had been living together since the start of school this year, and probably no one would believe that they still hadn't crossed the last line until now.

  Jiaoyi carefully put the box away, and just as Erxi was about to drop the corner of her outer garment on the ground, she noticed a stain on the hem. She quickly took it to the bathroom to rinse off the dirty part with water. After washing, she felt a bit sticky all over, so she decided to take a shower in the bathroom as well. Only after finishing did she realize that she had been lost in thought and hadn't brought any clean clothes to change into.

  Although there was no one at home and the curtains were tightly closed, she still didn't have the courage to rush into the bedroom naked. There was no other way, so she had to put on a large outer shirt, which was very thin and transparent, but it was better than wearing nothing.

  She pushed open the bathroom door and walked quickly towards the bedroom, but when she was still a few steps away from the bedroom, she heard a creaking sound, the sound of the door being opened, and froze.

  How did he come back so quickly?

  The person opening the door apparently didn't expect such a scene either, and their fingers froze on the door handle.

  She couldn't help but pull her collar tighter, feeling relieved that she hadn't rushed out without wearing anything. Little did she know, with her disheveled and damp long hair, her thin outer shirt clinging to her body, her jade-like wrists exposed under the wide sleeves, and her slender legs and waistline subtly visible, she was many times more alluring than if she were wearing nothing at all.

  "Has the wedding dress arrived?" Xiao Nai slowly closed the door.

  "Uh, it was delivered this afternoon." She replied softly, feeling the need to explain why she was standing there wearing that, "I, I just took a bath and forgot to grab my clothes, and this dirty one happened to be thrown in the bathroom..."

  "What's dirty? Where?"

  "Uh, down there, it's already..." She subconsciously lowered her head to look at her lower body, but before she could finish speaking, she was swept up in a horizontal hug. He had already arrived by her side and carried her towards the bedroom.

  "Put it on and let me see."

  "I won't."

  "I'm here to teach you."

  The fingers grasping the collar were pried open, and the shirt slid down from his shoulders. She sat on his legs, with only a thin layer of fabric separating them below. Weiwei couldn't bear to look at him anymore, turning her head to bury it in his neck.

  He was indeed teaching her, calmly and unhurriedly helping her put on her clothes one by one, slowly explaining the dressing method. Undergarments, blouse, skirt, belt, outer garment... His scorching fingers occasionally lightly touched her. She slightly let him arrange her, obediently lifting her hands or standing up. In the end, she was again held in his lap, letting him hold her ankle to put on embroidered shoes for her.

  She was fully dressed, wearing a wedding dress and sitting on him, her long eyelashes slightly lowered, her face flushed like clouds. He looked at her, suddenly tightened his arms around her waist, hugged her, and put her on the bed.

  Her wedding dress was like fire, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her skin was as smooth as jade. She looked at him with slight unease, his hands resting on either side of her head, pinning down her hair, his eyes deep and mysterious but unblinking, she couldn't help but feel increasingly uncomfortable under that gaze, involuntarily tilting her head to the side.

  The next second, his lips and tongue were fiercely grasped by him.

  He pressed down, deeply kissing her, more wildly and unscrupulously than ever before, as if he had finally thrown away all his inhibitions. Mei was kissed to the point of breathlessness, unable to do anything but follow his rhythm in swallowing and breathing. She felt her wedding dress being torn open, felt him biting at her neck, felt herself being kneaded by him until she ached, felt his kisses going lower and lower...

  The air was getting hotter and hotter, she was dizzy, humming a soft voice, suddenly feeling cool under her waist, her skirt was lifted up.

  He suddenly stopped.

  But Weiwei didn't relax because of this pause. In the past, they would have stopped here... or used other methods, but, but...

  She gazed at him faintly, her eyes already blurry.

  His shirt was disheveled, revealing his robust chest, and in the midst of his urgent, low gasps, his eyes, ablaze with fire, stared intensely at her. Then, as if in slow motion, he grasped her hand and drew it to the leather belt around his waist.

  Wei Wei had already understood from his actions, her heart suddenly lost control, her body tense as if even her fingertips were trembling.

  "It's okay, don't worry."

  He forced her hand to move roughly, while he covered her lips again, with a gentle and soothing kiss that was full of patience.

  His lips gradually moved back, he held her earlobe and whispered in a low voice: "Weiwei, I can't wait any longer."

  Although exhausted, the next day, Weiwei still opened her eyes on time according to her biological clock. The sky was already bright, and sunlight shone in through the thick curtains.

  She lay on the disheveled wedding dress, being tightly held in someone's arms from behind, with an arm across her waist. She moved slightly, and the person behind her immediately discovered she was awake, breathing closely against her back.

  "En." A usually clear and cold voice, tinged with lustful huskiness. She seemed to respond vaguely, her nape gradually being lightly kissed, gradually...

  Woke up again and it's almost noon.

  Her whole body felt wet, she slightly opened her eyes, and he was gently using a towel to wipe away the marks. She felt a little embarrassed, wanting to hide, but as soon as she moved, she found that her waist ached, and she didn't even have the strength to move her legs.

  Xiao Nai leaned over: "Carry you to take a bath?"

  Shaking head slightly.

  "Does it hurt?"

  Weiwei shook her head slightly, gazing at him, raised her arm and wrapped it around his neck.

  Now, I just want to lean on him and be fine.

  For the unexpected event before marriage, Weiwei does not regret it, but the aftermath of this matter makes Weiwei very headache.

  One of the aftereffects was that wedding dress...

  Because...

  So...

  In short, after that night, the wedding dress was... beyond recognition. Not only was it wrinkled, but there were also many... marks on it. To make matters worse, the wedding dress was made of expensive silk fabric. Silk is a delicate material, and Weiwei had no idea how to wash it, nor could she send it out for cleaning. In the end, Weiwei angrily pushed the responsibility onto the person who caused the trouble.

  So Xiao Nai had no choice but to take time out of his busy schedule to study the problem of washing silk.

  The second aftereffect is... alas...

  It's really unwise to do that kind of thing a month before marriage. Either do it early on, or just wait until after the wedding.

  At the busiest time, I still have to deal with someone's demands, which are said to be restrained already. It's really exhausting.

  June is really busy.

  It seems like everything is happening all at once. She's about to graduate, the wedding needs to be prepared, the latest DLC for Dream Journey 2 is about to be released, and on top of that, Da Shen's company is moving offices.

  That night, Xiao Nai received a phone call and went out with a hint of excitement.

  "Where are you going?"

  "We'll talk about it later."

  Walking at a leisurely pace, I slowly made my way to the Ji Zhong Internet Cafe. Standing in front of the closed door, I watched as Xiao Nai took out her key and opened the side door, walking inside and flipping on the switch.

  The lights are bright, and hundreds of computers are neatly and quietly lined up in the internet cafe.

  "All these computers will be moved away tomorrow."

  "Huh, isn't Second Uncle working anymore?"

  Weiwei knew that this internet cafe was something Xiaonai had set up with her cousin a long time ago. Now that computers are everywhere, business has been much worse than before, but her cousin is nostalgic and refuses to close it down. Speaking of which, the first time Da Shen saw her was also here.

  Xiao Nai nodded: "In the future, I'll move here with Zhi Yi, I've already bought half of the property rights."

  After a moment of surprise, Weiwei began to take stock of the internet cafe's environment and felt very satisfied. "Hm, having one's own place is best."

  Xiao Nai smiled and walked with her to the inside, discussing a few sentences about the layout, where to set up the conference room, where is the office area... Walking to a certain place, he suddenly stopped, looking at a certain place and said: "The first time I saw you, you were sitting there."

  She followed his gaze and saw a seat opposite the stairs, she couldn't remember if she had ever sat there before.

  "Haha, actually you had a crush on me at first sight." She teased him slightly, "Now I've discovered that you're actually a pervert."

  He raised an eyebrow.

  "Do you have an opinion?"

  "No, but I think it's not enough." Xiao Nai said slowly, "I'm at least a hungry wolf in the color circle."

  Someone has been very hungry lately...

  "You don't think it's shameful, instead you take pride in it!"

  Xiao Nai said: "As a picky non-omnivorous wolf, it's more shameful to be hungry."

  "I'll go upstairs and take a look."

  Teasing turns into being teased, a tragic comedy among humans. Unable to win, I ran away and rushed upstairs in a flash.

  Watching her figure disappear on the stairs, Xiao Nai's mouth corners rose slightly with a faint smile.

  What was it like when you first met her?

  It's been too long ago, and I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but at first, even after getting married in the game, we never had any intention of meeting in person.

  Just happened to come to the internet cafe and caught a glimpse of you.

  He just thought the girl's operation was extremely dazzling, catching his eye at first glance, so he watched for a few more minutes, seeing her directing the battle in an orderly manner and winning a perfect victory with weakness.

  At first he only focused on the screen and her flying fingers until the last moment when the battle ended, then he shifted his gaze to her face.

  That was a delightful aspect, and it even had a few familiar touches.

  Thanks to his good memory, he quickly searched her name from the database in his brain.

  A faint smile.

  Even from a distance, it can make the boys around her blush slightly.

  Then, another coincidence occurred.

  He hadn't logged into "Dream Journey" for a long time, and this time he went in to find some information about the game, but unexpectedly saw her name popping up frequently on the world channel.

  This time she was called Weiwei Lu.

  The name is easy to remember, I remembered it when I saw her play Bang War last time. The name is very refreshing, but the person who named it is also very lazy and doesn't think much.

  She was actually abandoned? And still wants to rob a relative by marriage?

  It was rare for Xiao Nai to have an interest in watching a lively scene, so he came alone to the Zhuque Bridge, looking at the red figure that was submerged by the surrounding onlookers.

  Will she really rob someone of their bride?

  Xiao Nai watched calmly, but subconsciously felt that she should be holding a big knife to chop down the scoundrel. Finally, when she sat down to sell medicine, the crowd in the game was shocked by lightning, and Xiao Nai outside the computer smiled silently.

  Suddenly, I felt a surge of protective instinct.

  This impulse came from nowhere and was definitely not in his precise brain calculations. It had never occurred to him before with anyone, but it was surprisingly strong.

  His little junior sister, how could she be dumped by someone else and end up so dispirited.

  Then propose.

  Then, a grand wedding.

  When proposing, he didn't have 100% confidence that she would agree, but when she said "okay" so readily, a touch of romance had already been born in his heart.

  "Put your office here."

  Weiwei spoke from upstairs, but didn't hear Xiao Nai's response for a long time. She ran downstairs and saw that he was still standing in the same place. "What are you doing?"

  "Thinking of your question just now." Xiao Nai raised her head and looked at her.

  "Huh?" Had she just asked something?

  Xiao Nai smiled slightly and said: "I was thinking that if I had known earlier, I would have fallen in love with you at first sight."

  If I knew one day I would love you so much.

  I must have fallen in love with you at first sight.
