The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Ge Qinglan was a little nervous at the moment.

The attendants all left, and in the extremely luxurious bridal chamber, Hua Miaomiao sat obediently on the intricately carved jade bed. A breeze blew by, driving the wind chimes on the curtains, which tinkled and made him even more confused.

Although I knew it was just a formal wedding, it was my first time after all, and after experiencing it personally, it would be hard to say that I didn't feel anything at all.

"Ge Qinglan, are you still there?" Hua Miaomiao asked in a low voice. After waiting for a long time, no one came forward, so she thought he had followed her out. It made sense. After all, the wedding was fake, so why bother about details like lifting the veil. Suppressing the slight disappointment in her heart, she raised her hand and lifted the veil herself. Unexpectedly, the gilded flower crown on her head was too complicated and hooked the tassel of the veil, pulling her scalp so hard that she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?" Ge Qinglan was dumbfounded. He hurried forward to help her hold the flower crown and gently untangled her hair. He couldn't help but complain, "How can a bride lift her veil herself on her wedding night?"

Hua Miaomiao blushed and lowered her head, as if she wanted to bury herself in her cumbersome wedding dress. "I thought you were out."

Ge Qinglan laughed in anger. She really wanted him to leave, this heartless guy. "On your wedding night, if I leave you here alone, your father will come and chop me with a knife tomorrow. Don't chase me away and treat me like a monster." He couldn't help pinching her chubby face. Hua Miaomiao was not fat, but unlike those skinny beauties, she was more well-proportioned, especially her round face, which was pink and tender, and felt very good.

At this moment, her face was flushed, her eyebrows were lightly raised, her lips were lightly touched, and her originally tied-up bun had already been scattered, draped over her shoulders like ink splashes. She lacked her usual childishness, but gained a bit of girlish charm.

Ge Qinglan was mesmerized by what he saw. Hua Miaomiao heard that he hadn't spoken for a long time and thought he was really angry. She quickly explained, "I didn't chase you away."

Ge Qinglan finally came back to his senses. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. "We are newlyweds, it is not appropriate for me to move out. I will sleep on the small couch over there. You are not familiar with this place, and you can call me if you have any problems at night. You just have to bear with it for a few days, and it will be fine after we get out."

Hua Miaomiao's face was getting hotter and hotter. She really hadn't thought too much about it before. The two of them were too familiar with each other. In recent years, whenever Ge Qinglan stayed in the Hua family, he would live in her side room. When he was in the mood, he would even pull her to chat for half the night. The two of them didn't seem to deliberately avoid it. Even when they got engaged, she didn't think there would be any changes. But now she realized that it seemed that she thought too simply. After going through the whole set of procedures, including accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, accepting the marriage proposal, accepting the betrothal gift, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride, the two of them had already been involved and it was not easy to extricate themselves. There was even a moment when she really felt that she was his wife. Thinking of this, she lowered her head even more in panic.

Seeing this, Ge Qinglan thought she still minded. He could only sigh and turn around to walk out of the house. "I'm in the next room. If you have anything, call me. I can hear you."

"Don't go!" Hua Miaomiao stood up and tried to hold him, but in a hurry she was tripped by her heavy skirt and her forehead hit the ground with a thud. It might be too painful and tears filled her eyes.

This frightened Ge Qinglan greatly. He hurried forward to help Hua Miaomiao up. Seeing her tearful eyes and the swollen red mark on her forehead, his heart suddenly tightened. He wanted to look through the medicine box, but found that the corner of his clothes was firmly grasped by Hua Miaomiao. "Miaomiao, I won't leave. I'll go get you some medicine. Your forehead is all swollen."

Hua Miaomiao seemed not to hear his words, and just kept talking to herself: "Don't be angry, I really didn't chase you away. I'm just not used to it. I thought nothing had changed, but now I feel something is different. Now I don't know how to get along with you. Ge Qinglan, let's not change, okay?"

After hearing her words, Ge Qinglan fell into deep self-blame. He had always regarded himself as Hua Miaomiao's protector, and he thought that taking her under his wing was the best. But he forgot that his Miaomiao had experienced wind and rain, and felt the cold and warmth. She was tenacious and open-minded, but also delicate and sensitive. Although it was a half-true and half-false wedding, the change of identity and situation was not fake. It was just a teenage girl coming to a strange home, so she would naturally feel nervous and scared.

"No, I promise you. Ge Qinglan will always be here as long as Hua Miaomiao needs me." He made a promise to her with his utmost sincerity.

After a long time, Ge Qinglan seemed to be unable to bear this atmosphere, so he was the first to break the deadlock. "By the way, are we still short of drinking a cup of wine together? How about it? Do you want to try it?"

Ge Qinglan had drunk in front of Hua Miaomiao before, but every time she wanted to try, he dismissed her by saying that children can't drink. They were less than two years apart in age, but he acted like an older brother. It was rare that he took the initiative to speak this time, and Hua Miaomiao readily agreed.

However, he soon regretted it. If he knew Hua Miaomiao would be like this after getting drunk, he would never ask her. Sitting on the roof, holding Hua Miaomiao tightly with both hands, he wanted to cry but had no tears. He never expected that she would get drunk after just half a cup of wine, and even insisted on going up to the sky to catch stars. He would cry if he didn't take her to the roof. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let her touch alcohol in this life.

“Miaomiao, it’s very late. If we go downstairs, we will wake others up.” If people knew that the second young master Ge spent his wedding night on the roof, they would laugh their heads off.

But the ancestor seemed to be deliberately against him. Not only did she not stop, but she shouted at the sky: "What's so great about you? Why should everyone listen to you? If you don't let me do it, I will do it for you to see!"

Ge Qinglan quickly covered her mouth with one hand, and used the other hand to prevent her from falling. "Ancestor, you better behave yourself. Otherwise, you'll attract people here."

Hua Miaomiao raised her head and faced him. At that moment, her eyes shone brightly, as if she could see. She suddenly attacked and punched Ge Qinglan. "Asshole!"

The punch hit Ge Qinglan's left eye, causing him to see stars and sway. He took a half step back before he could steady himself. But Hua Miaomiao in his arms tilted and fell down. Ge Qinglan was afraid that she would get hurt, so he leaned over and held her in his arms. The two of them fell off the roof together. With a loud bang, Ge Qinglan let out a scream.

At this point, the servants in the dark had to come out and check. What a lively night!
