Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

"Food..."

Luo Ye ignored the emcee and everyone else present.

He spoke softly, in a voice only Su Baizhou could hear, "I've finally married you."

Su Baizhou smiled and nodded gently.

Then, the two faced the crowd and looked at their respective families.

Fan Xinya, Fan Jian, Dai Enen.

Grandpa Luo, Chen Shaoman, Gu Rancheng.

Gu Mingxuan, Fan Chen.

In fact, these are the people who have been with them the most along the way.

They grew up in completely different families, then met by chance, fell in love in a fantastical way, and finally chose each other with unwavering determination.

Having come this far, their minds are now filled with every memorable encounter they've had with each other.

They appear in every memory, but in most memories, there are more than just the two of them.

There are male celebrities, Chris Hemsworth, and coaches.

There's Wenwen, and there's Xiaxia.

Those sad things and lingering emotions are gradually resolved by the trustworthy people around us, through love, family, and friendship.

Meeting the fairy-like senior was the greatest luck of Luo Ye's life.

But having an aunt like Chen Shaoman, family like Gu Rancheng, cousin like Gu Mingxuan, and his three roommates from university... isn't that his good fortune?

His senior would always be by his side, and when he looked back, he saw so many people behind him.

His life was equally remarkable.

The emcee's voice gradually faded as Luo Ye became immersed in his own world. The lights in the auditorium gradually brightened, and more and more familiar faces appeared before him.

Principal Fang... he's here.

Not far away, you can still see his three high school friends.

There's also Brother Chunlei and Sister Luying.

Many of his parents' comrades-in-arms...

Luo Ye looked at his aunt, and from her gaze, he could feel the same affection he had for his mother.

Although she has been calling her "aunt" for over a decade, the other person has always played the role of her mother.

He lost his parents when he was very young, but because of his aunt, he did not lack maternal and paternal love, and he also had an excellent older brother.

Although he was young, he was not completely ignorant when he first learned of his parents' passing.

He had thought about many things and even secretly complained in his heart.

Why would they rather sacrifice themselves together than go home and stay with him?

He didn't understand at the time.

But now, with his senior in the family, he seems to understand some things.

Humans are emotional beings.

Sometimes, feelings can happen in an instant.

That one moment is enough for a person to give their own answer when faced with a choice.

……

After finishing thinking about the sad things, many happy things suddenly popped into Luo Ye's mind.

At times like these, he always felt that something was missing.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Shen Qiao suddenly stood up from the table, raised her phone, and held a megaphone she had found somewhere in her other hand.

Two incredibly familiar words came from the phone:

"father!"

His pronunciation was clear and articulate, and because the volume was amplified by the loudspeaker, everyone present could hear him clearly.

The voice startled Luo Ye slightly.

He couldn't help but chuckle, finally realizing what was missing.

The fun is gone without Chris Hemsworth.

Yu Qiuyu, who was not far away, was almost laughing so hard that tears welled up in his eyes.

Shen Qiao, you're so mean!

Some people, even if they are not present, can still ignite the entire scene and steal the spotlight.

Luo Ye took the microphone from the emcee and said, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time, but I believe that everyone is waiting for their own day."

He looked at the crowd below the stage and continued, "But today is my wedding day, so I will only talk about myself."

He glanced at the fairy-like senior, then looked at everyone and smiled slightly, "To be honest, when I first saw her, I would never have believed that the beautiful fairy-like senior, the aloof campus belle known to everyone at Jiangcheng University, would be my future wife..."

The audience listened patiently, even though they had read Luo Ye and Su Baizhou's story many times in books...

"However, as I got to know her better, I found that she wasn't as cold as everyone said. The more I got to know her, the more I realized that she was actually a little girl who liked to play claw machines, but would get angry and embarrassed if she couldn't win a prize."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Baizhou glanced at Luo Ye on the stage.

This small action also proved that Luo Ye was right.

She has the mindset of a little girl.

As Luo Ye recounted some events beside her, Su Baizhou also recalled her own past.

……

"Have you heard? There's a stunningly beautiful girl among this year's freshmen."

"Which year doesn't have beautiful girls? Is it really necessary to exaggerate like this?"

"This time it's different. Let's go take a look."

Many people passing by the playground will unconsciously look at that stunning figure undergoing military training.

Even without makeup, she was still exceptionally beautiful, attracting many second- and third-year students to the playground.

During the two weeks of military training, Su Baizhou had already received many confessions of love.

Some people would try all sorts of ways to get close to her, and would even pretend to be a nice guy. If there was no chance encounter, they would create one, and then create the persona of a devoted male protagonist for themselves.

Su Baizhou wasn't interested in any of these things.

When she first met Gu Mingxuan, she realized that he was the same kind of person as her.

They all felt that most people were very boring and too lazy to interact with others.

Meaningless interactions are a waste of time.

But Teacher Gu is a little different from her.

Whenever he mentions his younger brother, his demeanor softens considerably.

She was very curious about what kind of person Teacher Gu's younger brother would be.

Perhaps it is fate.

Perhaps because she is beautiful, she has seen too many hypocritical people.

until……

There was someone who would point to a big tree in front of her and say something incredibly awkward...

Perhaps, that person was the first to say such things to her.

What does it mean to say that...that tree is very thick?

After returning home that day, she thought about those words repeatedly, pondering what the boy's purpose was in saying them.

In the end, she only came to one conclusion.

That means this boy is just naturally stupid.

A simpleton with no guile.

He might be considered foolish, but he still managed to get into Jiangnan University... and he's also a famous novelist.

Until one day, she realized that the boy only looked blank when he was facing her.

……

At the time, she didn't quite understand why this was happening.

Now she understands.

That's pure liking.

"Fool."

The two words that came out of nowhere startled Luo Ye, who was speaking.

"what?"

Luo Ye looked dazed.

Seeing this, Su Baizhou laughed.

That smile, like a flower in full bloom, was breathtakingly beautiful.
