BEFORE anyone in the main hall could react to this very shocking news, He Yu Lan suddenly stood up and punched Wu Xiang Ye directly on the face. The other was easily thrown off, landing a few distances away.
Wu Xiang Ye quickly got back to his feet and said in a sulky tone, "Lan-er, what was that for?"
He Yu Lan only gave him a look as if saying, 'you deserved that'. Then he sat back down and said calmly, "My apologies for suddenly springing up that news on you in such an abrupt manner."
Su Yuqi was the first one to react. She asked what the others seemed to be thinking. "Is it true, though, that you're married?"
"Yes."
Despite reacting as if what Wu Xiang Ye said was not true at all, He Yu Lan answered Su Yuqi's question pretty straightforwardly. Like it was the most natural thing in the world. Just by that one 'yes', anyone could see that he had a pretty deep relationship with the other.
He might not show it, with the way he acted around Wu Xiang Ye, but if one looked closely, really close, they could see the love underneath.
"You- you really got married?" Bai Ze stood up in shock. And then an aggrieved look flashed on his face. "And you didn't invite us?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Yuqi kicked Bai Ze's shin, not really a kick, but more of a hard tap. "Don't be overdramatic. Brother Yu Lan and Brother Xiang Ye must have taken into account the fact that we're students. They know it would be hard for us to take a leave and go outside the country to attend a wedding."
"But it's not just 'a wedding'. It's their wedding!" Bai Ze said, sitting down and still sulking.
Wu Xiang Ye, who had already walked over, sat beside He Yu Lan again. "Xiao Qi is right Ah Ze. Besides, it's kind of an unplanned wedding. So, even if we wanted to invite you, we couldn't."
"And that's your fault. Spontaneously proposing and then pullingto sshady wedding chapel," He Yu Lan said while shaking his head. "Only someone shameless like you can do it."
Wu Xiang Ye smirked. "And yet you still agreed to marry this shameless me."
"Well, let's just say I was drunk and wasn't in my right mind," He Yu Lan said in a dry voice.
"Where did you get married? And when?" Shen Ji Yun asked, leaning forward and seemingly very interested in this topic.
"In Vegas. We're there to welcthe new year. And I thought, what the hell? Shouldn't we be getting married by now?"
Wu Xiang Ye could still remember that night. They were on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. They had a lively New Year's Eve celebration with live entertainment, light shows, and a countdown to midnight. They were there to join the celebration.
As fireworks illuminated the night sky and the crowd echoed the countdown from 10 to 1, his gaze remained on Yu Lan. Fixated on his exquisite profile, the words he had cherished in his heart for so long spilled forth in an unstoppable rush.
That night, he asked the love of his life to marry him. And before the sun rose from the sky, the two of them were finally officially married.
"I can't believe you really married Brother Yu Lan in sshady chapel," Su Yuqi said, looking at Wu Xiang Ye as if he was skind of scum.
Bai Ze also looked at him the sway. "I know you're not the romantic type, but, really, Brother Xiang Ye? How can you marry Brother Yu Lan so haphazardly like that?"
"Hey, you brats, don't you know the term 'spur of the moment'?" Wu Xiang Ye said. "And 'spur of the moment' things can be romantic. Right, Lan-er?"
He Yu Lan only raised his brow at the other. And then he chuckled when he saw a betrayed expression on Wu Xiang Ye's face.
"Don't worry, this guy promised to marryagain in a very nice church somewhere in Europe," He Yu Lan said to the others.
"That's absolutely right," Wu Xiang Ye said. "And this time, all of you are invited."
"Even us?" Luo Yan asked in a lighthearted manner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Of course. You're part of team Yunyue now," Wu Xiang Ye responded. "Besides, it's not as if there would be that many people we could invite."
The other said that last thing in a joking manner, but if one assumed he was serious, then it's very telling. With just that, Luo Yan could guess that not many people knew the relationship of the two. The few who did were probably in this main hall.
Their relationship probably began very early. Maybe even during the tthey were still active in team Yunyue. It would be hard to hide it from their teammates. So, they must have told the other three about them.
With them as an example, it might be one of the reasons why Shen Ji Yun could easily accept his feelings for Luo Yan. The two of them must also be the reason why Bai Ze and Su Yuqi were also very accepting if same-sex relationship.
Luo Yan didn't really think much of it before. But now, after meeting these two, what he thought of just made sense.
"...Marriage, huh?"
Luo Yan heard Shen Ji Yun mumbled beside him. He glanced at the other and saw that he was in a daze. As if imagining something. He didn't even have to ask what it was to know what Shen Ji Yun was thinking.
A smile appeared on his lips. The urge to tease the other surge up in him. But before he could do any teasing, Eclipse suddenly jumped from his seat and ran between He Yu Lan and Wu Xiang Ye.
"You two are getting married again?" he asked innocently.
He Yu Lan showed a rare, gentle smile. "Yes, little one."
"Then can you bring Master and Captain with you so they can get married as well?"
