ISMW Chapter 127

Yun Xunlan and Yu Chen’s wedding date was set for early March—the beautiful time when spring arrives.

After the wedding date was confirmed, Yu Chen quickly distributed invitations to Pei Xingting and all his Royal Guard colleagues, and cordially invited Gui Yan and Fu Yanxi to be his groomsmen.

After receiving the invitations, Gui Yan and Fu Yanxi locked themselves in their dormitory and cursed Yu Chen all night. The next day, they agreed with tears in their eyes and dark circles under their eyes. After all, if they didn’t want to be groomsmen, plenty of others did. No matter how heartbroken they were, they had to seize this good opportunity.

The wedding venue was at Lamp Moon Peninsula—a small wedding with only family and friends as witnesses.

Because this wedding wouldn’t be public, some people online said this must be a godfather-godson recognition ceremony, absolutely not a wedding. Even when Yu Chen posted a wedding photo showing his face for the first time on his Star Network homepage, it couldn’t stop these rumors from spreading.

However, Yu Chen quite liked that wedding photo himself.

In the photo, he and Yun Xunlan were both wearing Comet-S7 riding suits, holding a bundle of baby’s breath sparklers together, standing by the seaside with gentle night breezes, also standing under the brilliant starry sky.

So Yu Chen used this wedding photo with the caption [My Star] to replace the pinned post [I’m an idiot]. Whoever wants to be an idiot can be one—he certainly wasn’t.

Of course, some people believed they were really together after seeing the wedding photo. After all, in the picture, when Yun Xunlan looked at his lover, those golden eyes reflecting the fireworks were more brilliant than the stars adorning the night sky, and the loving gaze couldn’t be hidden.

Then this group of people who believed Yu Chen and Yun Xunlan were true love went and did something—they dyed their hair green.

After dyeing it, they would post sad, tearful video updates with captions: [The person I like got married, and the groom/bride isn’t me], with BGM of “I love you deeply, but you fell in love with an idiot~”. Even though they didn’t speak in the videos, only crying throughout, the message they wanted to convey was already very obvious, not to mention they often placed a lychee rose beside them.

Yu Chen was furious when he saw this and couldn’t report them fast enough. He even paid three people to watch for such videos and report them daily, but the effect was poor.

Therefore, when sending wedding invitations to Gui Yan and Fu Yanxi, Yu Chen specifically called them to warn: “At my wedding, you two are not allowed to have blonde, silver, blue, or pink hair, and especially not green hair.”

Fu Yanxi, a 1.9-meter tall man, now couldn’t help wanting to cry whenever he heard the word “wedding.” He choked up and agreed: “Okay, the Third Prince said red hair suits me well. I’ve decided to keep red hair for life.”

Gui Yan was about the same, sniffling as he said: “Brother Xi, I’ll dye my hair red with you.”

Yu Chen: “…”

Yu Chen: “Red hair is also not allowed.”

“Yu Dog, don’t go too far!” Fu Yanxi couldn’t help but curse angrily. “Why don’t you just tell us to shave our heads so we won’t steal your spotlight?”

Yu Chen raised an eyebrow and replied: “You two couldn’t steal my spotlight no matter what you do, but if you want to shave your heads, I have absolutely no objection.”

Gui Yan said: “We want you to shave your head.”

Yu Chen: “?”

Yu Chen: “Get lost.”

In the end, for Yun Xunlan’s sake, they dyed their hair black, which matched the hair color of Yun Xunlan’s invited groomsman Jian Wenxi, so there wouldn’t be any problems.

Besides Jian Wenxi, Yun Xunlan’s groomsmen included another special existence—an android jointly developed by him and Jian Wenxi.

Its appearance wasn’t much different from a real person. If not for the fluorescent blue stripe under its left eye marking it as an android, no one could tell it was a robot. The first reason for choosing it as one of the “groomsmen” was definitely Jian Wenxi’s fear of contact with real people.

As for the second reason—

“Now that you’re married, it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to continue making money using your pheromones, and I’m afraid Yu Chen will assassinate me.” Jian Wenxi led the android he named “Good Boy,” whose build and height were almost close to Yu Chen’s, and said to Yun Xunlan.

Yun Xunlan suspected that Jian Wenxi’s decision to make his first created android this size definitely stemmed from the thought that if Yu Chen came to assassinate him, he could command Good Boy to protect himself.

“Yu Chen isn’t that kind of person…” Yun Xunlan tried to explain that his lover had a good temper, but his persuasiveness didn’t seem very strong.

Jian Wenxi didn’t believe it at all, waving his hand: “That’s not important. What’s important is we need to develop new products. I think making some family-style companion androids to sell would be very suitable.”

“Coincidentally, your wedding is the best promotional opportunity.”

Jian Wenxi handed two corsages labeled “omega groomsman” to Good Boy, having the man pin them on himself and Jian Wenxi.

Then Jian Wenxi raised his light brain bracelet, hooking the arm of the man wearing the same gray-white suit as him and continuing to give commands: “Good Boy, smile.”

Upon hearing this, Good Boy turned his head and looked down at Jian Wenxi, then mimicked the young man’s expression, showing the camera a perfect smile that could be called a copy.

After taking the photo, Jian Wenxi asked Yun Xunlan: “Can I post this photo on my Star Network homepage?”

“You can.” Yun Xunlan nodded. “You can take other photos too if you want.”

“No need, this one photo is enough for promotion.” Jian Wenxi pointed his light brain at empty space to project a screen, showing Yun Xunlan the netizens’ comments. “People are already asking when the new product will be released.”

Jian Wenxi clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit: “I think we’ll definitely make a fortune again! Maybe next year I can become the second richest person in the galaxy.”

“Sigh…” At this point, the black-haired omega let out a long sigh. “It’s just that my third uncle has some brain problems. I showed him the photo of me and Good Boy, and he asked why I didn’t take a photo with you? He even told me to secretly prepare to be your mistress.”

“But I don’t want to be a mistress. I don’t even want to be the third richest in the galaxy.” Jian Wenxi pouted and sighed. “My third uncle still hasn’t given up. He wants us to have an affair and have a child, saying that as long as the child is born, he’ll give us half the shares.”

“Third Uncle is confused!”

Jian Wenxi shook his head repeatedly: “When he dies, won’t all his shares be mine anyway? I wouldn’t have to share them with you.”

Yun Xunlan: “…”

Yun Xunlan patted Jian Wenxi’s shoulder and sincerely sighed: “Uncle Jian is blessed to have such a good nephew like you.”

“I think so too.”

Finally, Jian Wenxi helped Yun Xunlan adjust his formal wear collar and smiled at him with crescent eyes: “I hope you’ll always be happy, my good friend.”

They walked out of the lounge together toward the wedding beach under the blue sea and clear sky.

Officer Dike served as the wedding officiant, with Yu Chen standing beside him, wearing a sharp black suit with his hair carefully tied in a half-bun. Those ice-blue eyes were like another sea, waiting for his lover’s arrival.

As the music began, Yun Xunguang took their father’s place, leading Yun Xunlan step by step toward Yu Chen.

They had a temporary mark between them. Though not as intense as a lifelong mark, it still brought the two a subtle sense of connection, like gravitational pull between stars in the universe.

—Among the four fundamental forces of the universe, gravity is the weakest, yet it can transcend time and space.

It cannot be seen, but it exists eternally, never fading.

Therefore, for their wedding rings, Yu Chen chose gold. His own ring was a plain band, but both the inner and outer circles were engraved with Yun Xunlan’s initials, while Yun Xunlan’s ring had a small but brilliant, understated blue diamond set on the outer circle, with only Yu Chen’s name engraved on the inner circle.

“Though using gold for rings might be somewhat vulgar, it’s fragments of stars that can exist until the end of time, never decaying. Nothing could be more suitable to symbolize ‘eternity.'” Yu Chen placed the ring on Yun Xunlan’s finger, softly promising as he leaned down to embrace his lover: “I will forever be your second star, forever burning for you.”

Yun Xunlan raised his hands to embrace back, wrapping his arms around Yu Chen’s waist, closing his eyes and burying his face in the man’s neck, also softly murmuring: “The trajectory of our meeting is also the eternal destiny that was predetermined.”

.

The wedding ended perfectly. Gui Yan and Fu Yanxi, holding the wedding favors Yun Xunlan had prepared for them, cried uncontrollably until Yu Chen’s face turned green, but they still couldn’t stop.

Then Jian Wenxi opened the wedding favor Yu Chen had prepared for him and Good Boy, and couldn’t help wanting to cry too. With red eyes, he covered his mouth and screamed softly: “Oh my god! It’s a signed photo of my goddess and her wife!”

Jian Wenxi’s goddess was Yu Chen’s mother Ran Xuechen. As her only son, Yu Chen had several photo albums of his mother and mom. He had taken out a few solo photos of Ran Xuechen taken by Huo Su with her signature and included them in the wedding favors for Jian Wenxi and Good Boy.

Jian Wenxi obviously loved this wedding favor very much and even confiscated Good Boy’s portion in the name of being his master.

He couldn’t put down the wedding favor and asked Yun Xunlan: “Yun Xunlan, can you get married a few more times?!”

Yu Chen: “?”

He had spent a fortune on this wedding favor, hoping to bribe the wealthy Jian Wenxi so he would put in good words for him in front of Yun Xunlan. And this was what he said?

Jian Wenxi noticed the dark gaze from Yu Chen and quickly realized his words were ambiguous, so he corrected himself: “I mean, marry Yu Chen once every year.”

—He could also receive wedding favors once a year!

Yu Chen thought this was an excellent proposal and agreed: “Sure.”

Fu Yanxi and Gui Yan firmly disagreed, but they dared to be angry but not speak out.

Yun Xunlan also disagreed.

That night in their bridal bedroom, discovering that his lover was actually seriously selecting next year’s wedding venue, Yun Xunlan couldn’t help but ask Yu Chen: “Who gets married once a year?”
