The road up the mountain was more difficult than Xie Qingyu had imagined.

Tu Shen not only lived on the mountain, but deep in the mountains.

Xie Qingyu is blind, and Tu Shen did not allow her to take a single step throughout the entire process.

When the path was relatively flat at first, Tu Shen carried her up the mountain. When the path became steeper later, Tu Shen carried Xie Qingyu on his back.

"Or should I walk by myself?" Xie Qingyu wrapped her arms around Tu Shen's neck, resting her head obediently against his neck. Tu Shen could feel her breath as she spoke.

Although he had been carrying Xie Qingyu for so long, his breathing was still steady. "No need, just hold me tight. Besides, the bride isn't allowed to put her feet on the ground until she gets home."

"If you're tired, take a rest," Xie Qingyu said considerately.

Xie Qingyu's weight was negligible to Tu Shen; it wasn't even as heavy as the prey he brought down the mountain each time.

Even so, he had to be very careful.

The warmth from his back sent a tingling sensation through his body, revealing an indescribable excitement. He wished the road home could be longer, so that Xie Qingyu could stay obediently on his back like this.

Moreover, in this position, Xie Qingyu was pressed tightly against him, making the sensations in certain areas particularly noticeable.

At first, Tu Shen only felt that some places seemed softer, and that they would sway when he occasionally turned over a certain place. It wasn't until after walking for a while that he belatedly realized what the soft places were.

This made him feel hot all over, as if it were the first time he had realized that he had brought a wife home.

Although many people had told him about getting married, he didn't fully understand the meaning of it.

Even the decision to marry Xie Qingyu was made that very night after hearing what Xie Qingyu said; he didn't feel anything else.

But it's different now.

Moreover, he had previously thought Xie Qingyu was a bit thin, but now he realized she wasn't that thin; she still had some curves in certain areas.

Since Tu Shen became aware of the existence of those two places, his consciousness had become somewhat hazy. He didn't know what he was doing, he just kept sensing and moving forward.

It wasn't until the people behind him, who were playing trumpets and carrying boxes, were left far behind and had to call him to stop that he realized how fast he was walking.

They rushed to their destination before sunset, and Xie Qingyu and Tu Shen finally arrived.

The horn, which had stopped along the way to save time, finally started playing again as they were about to reach their destination.

Immediately, someone peeked out, followed by a child's voice, "The bride is here! The bride is here! Come and see!"

Xie Qingyu didn't take off her veil all day, and she could hear the children whispering among themselves.

There are quite a few children here, and most of them are very friendly.

Xie Qingyu was led into the room by Tu Shen. "This is my cousin. Let her sit with you for a while. We'll have the wedding ceremony later."

Tu Shen was worried that Xie Qingyu would be scared if she was left alone in the room, so he called over his cousin from his uncle's family.

Xie Qingyu nodded, her red veil swaying as she did so.

Many children who followed her in bent over to see what Xie Qingyu looked like under her veil, creating a somewhat comical scene.

My cousin chased all the children away, saying that they were being given out candy and that they should hurry up and grab it.

Only after all the children had left did he slip Xie Qingyu a piece of pastry.

"Your older brother said you haven't eaten all day, so this was specially prepared for you. Eat something quickly." My cousin's voice was clear and crisp, and she sounded quite young.

"Thank you," Xie Qingyu said gently, showing her gratitude for Tu Shen's thoughtfulness.

She hasn't eaten all day and is really starving.

Tu Shen went out to arrange the wedding ceremony. Not long after, a woman came in, followed by the sound of the door opening. Tu Shen came in with a red silk ribbon, and Xie Qingyu held the other end of the ribbon. The two then performed the wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony was rather simple, and compared to the weddings of some wealthy families, it was obviously quite shabby.

But the appearance of this red silk already evokes a strong feeling.

After all, people in the countryside don't use this for weddings.

Xie Qingyu knew all this, but she just listened to the arrangements and followed the instructions in a daze to go through the wedding ceremony. After it was over, she was sent to her room.

As soon as Xie Qingyu was brought to her room, the wedding party started to arrive.

They coaxed Tu Shen, wanting to see him lift his veil.

Tu Shen coughed twice after entering the room, looking unusually uneasy.

Seeing him like this, the jeers from the crowd grew even louder.

"Quickly, let us see how beautiful your sister-in-law is!"

"Brother, hurry up! Why are you being shy and dawdling?"

Amidst these voices, Tu Shen strode up to Xie Qingyu.

Even though Xie Qingyu's perception of light is now stronger, when Tu Shen stood in front of her, even with his head covered, he could still feel that the area below had darkened.

"I'm going to lift the veil now," Tu Shen said.

After Tu Shen finished speaking, he waited three seconds before lifting the veil.

The moment the veil was lifted, the room fell silent; even the children's voices ceased. Then came a cry of "Wow!"

A muttered voice drifted over, "No wonder my brother was willing to get married; he married such a beautiful woman!"

"Fairy Sister!" the children shouted the loudest. "The bride is Fairy Sister!"

Xie Qingyu couldn't tell which child's voice it was, but she could hear the child shouting that as they went outside.

The child's voice attracted even more people who wanted to see the bride's face.

There wasn't enough room to stand in the room to begin with.

At first, the people who came in to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber were egging the couple on to kiss.

Tu Shen moved closer to Xie Qingyu somewhat awkwardly, "I kissed her."

After Tu Shen finished speaking, he quickly kissed Xie Qingyu on the cheek.

"That doesn't count, why only a kiss on the cheek!"

"That's right, it doesn't count, it doesn't count!"

Many people joined in the commotion.

"kiss!"

"kiss!"

Even the children were shouting.

Tu Shen couldn't even bend down to kiss Xie Qingyu on the lips; it was so fast that no one could see it clearly.

"Too fast! Are you even capable?" someone complained.

Tu Shen ignored them and started driving people out.

If they keep making a fuss, things will only get worse. Tu Shen can only tolerate it this far. He'll just let it have some fun, and he won't cause any more trouble.

Only after everyone had left did Tu Shen squat down in front of Xie Qingyu.

He was a big guy, and he squatted down to face Xie Qingyu, who was sitting on the bed. Even though he knew Xie Qingyu couldn't see, he looked into her eyes and said, "Since you married me, you are my wife. There is no such thing as a fake marriage."
