    Chapter 68: The Wedding in the Dream

    Chapter Sixty-Eight

    Gu Minghe is a Film Emperor, so everyone was highly anticipating his first foray into a romance drama.

    However, Pei Huaixue was a minor influencer who had never acted before. Aside from his fans, most netizens were skeptical about this casting choice.

    “Can Pei Huaixue act? He’s very good-looking, but will his acting skills be up to par?”

    Many people were not optimistic.

    When Pei Huaixue saw the discussions about his acting debut on the Trending Search, he started having second thoughts. Had he agreed too hastily?

    Gu Minghe, however, fully supported his Husband: “My baby is so smart, it’s just acting. It won’t stump you.”

    “You say I’m good at everything I do,” Pei Huaixue didn’t believe him. “After the wedding, I need to enroll in an acting class and study properly.”

    “Why bother hiring other teachers? Isn’t having me teach you enough?” Gu Minghe pulled Pei Huaixue onto his lap, burying his face in his Husband’s neck and taking a deep breath.

    The sweet, peachy fragrance filled his lungs, making him feel addicted, as if he could never get enough.

    Just as Gu Minghe was busy inhaling his Husband, the doorbell rang.

    They had scheduled the dress studio staff to come over today for measurements and tailoring. Gu Minghe had no choice but to let go of Pei Huaixue and get up to open the door.

    The wedding attire was ordered from a major French fashion brand. Their designers would customize brand-new styles based on the couple’s figures. The staff were here today just to take their measurements, record the data, and then send it to the headquarters.

    The staff were very professional and quickly finished measuring Gu Minghe. When it was Pei Huaixue’s turn, the female staff member responsible for recording the data blushed, her hands trembling so badly that she couldn’t take the measurements correctly.

    “I-I’m sorry,” the girl apologized with a bow.

    “Xiao Tang, what’s wrong?” Her colleague looked serious and was about to reprimand her, but Xiao Tang said sheepishly, “My stomach hurts. May I please use the restroom?”

    “Are you feeling unwell?” Pei Huaixue asked with concern. “Go quickly, the work isn’t urgent.”

    “I’ll be right back!” Xiao Tang glanced at Pei Huaixue gratefully and hurried away.

    The colleague shook his head helplessly. “Then I’ll take the measurements.”

    “No need, I’ll do it.” Gu Minghe took the tape measure from his hand and began measuring his Husband himself.

    In the restroom, Xiao Tang excitedly pulled out her phone and started posting in the super topic.

    “Oh my god, I never expected my master to bring me to measure Pei Huaixue’s suit size today! I actually saw Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue in person! I’m so excited! Unfortunately, I was too useless. When it was my turn to measure Pei Huaixue, I suddenly got too nervous and had to rush to the bathroom. But Pei Huaixue is so nice! He wasn’t angry at all, his temper is amazing. Truly worthy of being my bias!”

    As soon as the post went up, it quickly garnered many envious replies, with fans urging her to share more sweet moments.

    When Xiao Tang came out after washing her hands, she saw Gu Minghe taking Pei Huaixue’s measurements.

    The man’s hands wrapped around Pei Huaixue from behind to reach his chest. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against the soft skin, and Pei Huaixue’s face flushed, his body trembling slightly.

    “It tickles,” Pei Huaixue was too sensitive. Just a light brush of the fingertips made his waist go weak.

    Gu Minghe supported his waist, making him stand straight.

    He then wrapped the tape measure around that slender waist. “Be good, we’ll be done soon.”

    Pei Huaixue let out a soft hum.

    He felt that Gu Minghe was deliberately measuring so slowly, tormenting him.

    Xiao Tang covered her mouth the moment she returned, so excited she nearly cried out. Fortunately, she didn’t forget she was still working and quickly composed herself.

    After all the measurements were taken, the team leader suggested taking a group photo, and Gu Minghe agreed.

    So everyone sat on the cashmere rug in the living room and took a picture together. Xiao Tang felt so happy she was about to faint. This job was truly wonderful!

    As they were leaving, Pei Huaixue called out to her, asking if she felt better.

    Xiao Tang nodded repeatedly, deeply moved. Finally, she couldn’t help but say, “Actually, Xiaoxue, I—I’m your fan! And a Shipper of you and Gu Minghe! I love you so much! You must be happy!”

    “Eh?” Pei Huaixue blinked, not realizing that Xiao Tang was his fan. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Do you want a photo or an autograph?”

    “No, no, no need!” Xiao Tang waved her hands frantically. “Just seeing you makes me happy enough! And I’m very satisfied with the group photo we just took. I don’t want to trouble you.”

    “I see.” Pei Huaixue thought for a moment, then asked Gu Minghe to fetch an invitation card. He personally wrote Xiao Tang’s name on it and handed her the invitation: “Then, if you’re free on the wedding day, you can come and attend.”

    Xiao Tang took the invitation with trembling hands.

    Oh my god!

    She actually received an invitation to Pei Huaixue’s wedding!

    What kind of heaven-sent luck was this?

    Pei Huaixue was too good to his fans!

    Xiao Tang remained dazed until she got home after work. She quickly opened Weibo, where her messages were already 99+, all filled with envy and jealousy.

    Xiao Tang chuckled, then casually showed off her wedding invitation in the super topic, pretending it was no big deal!

    “Friends, I’m going to attend the Gu-Pei wedding. Don’t be too jealous, hahahaha!!”

    Fans in the super topic: ???

    What kind of incredible luck did this blogger have?!

    They wanted to attend too!

    “Blogger, you must post lots of reports!”

    “Yes, yes, this wedding isn’t inviting media reporters, so we’ll have to rely on you for the live broadcast.”

    “We are so envious!”

    “No problem, leave it to me!”

    Xiao Tang willingly took on the important task of sharing the sweet moments with the community, eagerly anticipating the wedding day.

    Two days before the wedding, Xiao Tang carried her luggage to the airport and boarded the private jet sent by the Gu Family to pick up guests.

    This was Xiao Tang’s first time on a private jet. Because it was so luxurious, she excitedly took photos non-stop and edited them for a Weibo post.

    “Family! I’m on the Gu Family’s private jet. It’s too extravagant!”

    The comment section was instantly filled with “lemons,” everyone incredibly sour with jealousy.

    At this moment, a familiar ID liked Xiao Tang’s post.

    It was “Minghe Turning Snow.”

    “Minghe Turning Snow” had now transformed from a well-known male fan to an open Shipper. Everyone was delighted by this and affectionately called him “Brother Xue.”

    “Brother Xue even liked Xiao Tang’s post.”

    “Brother Xue must be super jealous right now. Why isn’t he the one attending the wedding!”

    “Is Brother Xue saying I’m not standing high enough?”

    Everyone teased Minghe Turning Snow, but Brother Xue remained silent, only continuing to like the posts.

    He seemed to be in a very good mood.

    After more than ten hours of long-distance travel, the plane finally arrived in Trondheim, Norway.

    Xiao Tang and the other guests were taken to a hotel near the wedding venue. The entire hotel had been booked by the Gu Family, and all the occupants were attendees of the wedding.

    Xiao Tang saw many familiar faces: a famous singer, an editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, a Film Emperor, a Film Empress, a top-tier young actress, and a renowned director. She was dazzled and overwhelmed.

    The hotel room arranged for her was also quaint and luxurious.

    Fearing assassination by jealous netizens, Xiao Tang restrained the urge to post more on Weibo, happily anticipating the wedding ceremony tomorrow.

    In the glass room on the top floor of the hotel, Pei Huaixue lay in bed, watching the spectacular aurora borealis. He felt as if he were in a fairy tale world, utterly romantic.

    Thinking that tomorrow was his wedding with Gu Minghe, he was so nervous that he couldn’t sleep.

    Gu Minghe gently patted his shoulder: “Husband, aren’t you sleeping yet?”

    Pei Huaixue blinked. “We’ve been married for so long, why do I still feel so nervous?”

    Gu Minghe chuckled softly.

    “Silly Husband.”

    Because you love me.

    Pei Huaixue wrinkled his nose and bit Gu Minghe’s shoulder hard, leaving a damp mark. He complained, “How can you call me silly!”

    “I’m the silly one, I’m the silly one…” Gu Minghe begged for mercy repeatedly. “Baby, hurry and sleep. You can’t oversleep tomorrow.”

    “Fine.”

    Pei Huaixue closed his eyes again, forcing himself to sleep.

    In the middle of the night.

    Minghe Turning Snow went online and posted a new Weibo update.

    “Can’t sleep!! What should I do QAQ”

    The location was set to Trondheim, Norway.

    Some night owls who followed him and were also awake quickly came to like and comment.

    “What’s up, insomnia?”

    “Can’t sleep thinking about Gu Minghe getting married?”

    “You pretend to be a Shipper every day until you believe it yourself, right? Now that Gu Minghe is getting married, you finally can’t keep up the act? Are you broken?”

    Several familiar accounts were jumping around in his comment section.

    Then, someone noticed the key detail.

    “Wait, Brother Xue, why are you in Norway too? Don’t tell me you couldn’t handle the shock of Gu Minghe getting married and are planning to crash their wedding??”

    In the darkness, Pei Huaixue opened his eyes and replied indignantly, “Of course not! Why would I crash it? I’m very much looking forward to Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue getting married, okay!”

    The person replied: “Oh, oh, you’ve told the lie so many times you believe it yourself. If you were really looking forward to it, why would you run off to Norway? Unless you were actually invited?”

    Pei Huaixue said haughtily, “That’s right, I was invited!”

    Everyone: ??

    What was going on? Why was Brother Xue invited too? Why weren’t they invited?

    Just then, Minghe Turning Snow received a private message.

    It was from Xiao Tang.

    Xiao Tang was also awake late at night, excitedly sending him a private message.

    “Brother Xue, were you invited to the wedding too? That’s great! Should we go together tomorrow? It’s unfamiliar here, and since we’re both fans, how about we go together?”

    Pei Huaixue quickly refused: “No, no, I have social anxiety. I’m fine alone.”

    He had no intention of revealing his identity!

    After chatting with the netizens for a while, Pei Huaixue finally felt sleepy. He put his phone by the pillow and nestled into his Husband’s chest, falling into a deep sleep.

    The next day.

    As expected, Pei Huaixue overslept and couldn’t get up.

    Normally, Gu Minghe would indulge Pei Huaixue when he slept in, but on such an important day, Gu Minghe was even more attentive than Pei Huaixue.

    Having experienced his Husband running away once, he was now terrified that Pei Huaixue might decide not to attend the wedding at the last minute. The shadow of his Husband abandoning him constantly loomed, making him overly cautious.

    So, seeing that Pei Huaixue hadn’t woken up yet, Gu Minghe quickly woke him with a kiss.

    Pei Huaixue opened his eyes, his face flushed red, his eyes glistening from the kiss, unable to catch his breath.

    He had secretly stayed up late playing on his phone last night, and now he was incredibly sleepy. He could only pitifully beg his Husband to let him sleep a little longer.

    Gu Minghe, who was usually compliant with his every wish, sternly refused today.

    “Baby, you don’t want to marry me, do you?”

    “How could that be? We already registered our marriage. Of course, I want to marry you,” Pei Huaixue held Gu Minghe’s hand and rubbed it against his cheek. Seeing his Husband looking afraid that he might run away, he reluctantly yawned and got up: “Alright, I’m getting up.”

    Gu Minghe’s stern face finally broke into a smile.

    He scooped Pei Huaixue up, seating him on his lap, allowing Pei Huaixue to rest his head on his shoulder if he was still sleepy.

    However, he quickly and efficiently helped his Husband, dressing him in his clothes and socks. Once everything was properly arranged, there was a knock on the door.

    Zhong Manzhu and Pei Jing were urging them.

    “Are the two newlyweds awake? It’s time to go to the makeup room.”

    “We’re coming,” Gu Minghe replied in a deep voice.

    Pei Huaixue heard his mothers’ voices and groggily opened his eyes. “Wedding, right, I’m getting married today.”

    He slid off Gu Minghe’s lap and went to open the door, but because he was so sleepy, he stumbled, nearly falling. Gu Minghe quickly rushed forward, wrapping his arms around his waist. “Husband, let me carry you.”

    With that, he bent down, slipped his arms under Pei Huaixue’s knees, and carried him princess-style to the door, opening it with steady steps.

    Pei Jing saw that Pei Huaixue was still half-asleep and couldn’t help but say, “You child, how can you sleep in on such an important day?”

    Gu Minghe smiled. “Mom, let Xiaoxue sleep a little longer. I’ll wake him up when it’s time.”

    “You spoil him too much.”

    Although Pei Jing said this, when it came to spoiling Pei Huaixue, she was just like Gu Minghe and couldn’t bear to wake him up.

    In the makeup room.

    Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue sat on the same chair. Since Pei Huaixue was sleeping soundly, to avoid waking him and to ensure the makeup could be applied smoothly, Gu Minghe simply let Pei Huaixue straddle his lap. He used his firm, broad chest to support Pei Huaixue’s upright posture, gently cupping his Husband’s face to prevent his head from wobbling.

    Pei Huaixue was like a doll, held in Gu Minghe’s arms, getting his makeup done while sleeping with his eyes closed.

    The makeup artist couldn’t help but sigh, “Your relationship is truly wonderful.”

    After the makeup was finished, Chen Jin, Shen Zhimian, and others came in to see them. By now, Pei Huaixue had finally slept enough. He stretched on his Husband’s lap, and seeing his friends, he smiled and greeted them.

    Shen Zhimian showered him with praise: “Xiaoxue, you look so beautiful today! Congratulations on marrying Film Emperor Gu! Wait, remarrying!”

    Pei Huaixue had changed into his wedding attire—a white, custom-made high-end suit. Dressed all in white, he looked as delicate and beautiful as a doll in a display case, his eyelashes long, curled, and clustered.

    The suit perfectly contoured his body, highlighting his slender waist, perky backside, and long legs, making him irresistibly attractive.

    Gu Minghe wore a black suit, looking handsome and imposing. Standing next to Pei Huaixue, his tall figure made his beloved look petite. His usually deep and cold eyes were no longer sharp and icy, but softened.

    Anyone who saw them would agree they were a perfect match!

    Afterward, Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue’s classmates from high school and college also came to offer their congratulations.

    “You two are finally married! I knew something was up when I saw how affectionate you were back then!” one high school classmate remarked.

    The college classmates looked exasperated, feeling they had been kept in the dark for too long!

    In high school, Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe hadn’t confessed yet, only secretly crushing on each other. In college, because Gu Minghe shot to fame after filming a movie, they had to conduct their relationship in secret.

    Their classmates at the time genuinely didn’t know they were dating, so when they saw the two on the dating show, going through the stages of chasing, marrying, and remarrying, everyone was bewildered.

    Yet, they also felt that the two of them being together was the most natural thing in the world.

    It would be an outrage if they didn’t get married!

    “In any case, Gu Minghe, Pei Huaixue, happy wedding!”

    The church doors slowly opened.

    Gu Minghe held Pei Huaixue’s hand and slowly walked in under the gaze of their family and friends.

    They approached the priest, and under his benevolent gaze, they spoke their solemn vows to each other.

    To remain by each other’s side, through sickness and health, wealth and poverty.

    “I do.”

    Gu Minghe placed the massive diamond ring on Pei Huaixue’s ring finger, then lowered his head to kiss the person he had yearned for for so many years.

    Confetti rained down, accompanied by the blessings of family and friends. Gu Minghe felt that this wedding was as beautiful as a dream.

    He had longed to hold a wedding for Pei Huaixue for a long time, and now it was finally realized.

    Pei Huaixue had initially thought he was indifferent to having a wedding, but standing in this sacred church, he felt incredibly sweet.

    He regretted not having a wedding when they first married, but thankfully, they were having a make-up ceremony now, and everything was perfect.

    Xiao Tang, who was at the wedding, was also extremely excited. She frantically took photos and uploaded them to Weibo.

    Since no media was invited and paparazzi were strictly kept away, there were no professional media reports online, only photos taken by the guests attending the wedding.

    Because Xiao Tang had previously worked as a fan site photographer, she had an advantage in taking pictures. She captured the wedding photos of Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue in a particularly romantic and beautiful way. They immediately went viral upon posting on Weibo, becoming the number one Trending Search.

    Everyone rushed to offer blessings, admire the beauty, and obsessively ship the couple, acting as if they were present at the scene themselves.

    “Even though we weren’t there, I feel like I attended their wedding. I can feel the happiness through the screen~”

    “This is the most successful couple I’ve ever shipped!”

    Both online and at the wedding venue, the atmosphere was lively and joyous.

    When it came time for the bouquet toss, Pei Huaixue threw the bouquet backward, and it landed right in Su Jin’s arms.

    Su Jin held the bouquet, his face blushing deeply amidst the cheers from the crowd.

    Gu Yanchen held Su Jin’s hand, his eyes filled with deep amusement.

    Zhong Manzhu was also beaming: “That’s wonderful! It looks like the Gu Family will be hosting another wedding soon.”
