Chapter 135
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Fangyu's birthday, was also the day she would don her wedding gown and get married this year.
Yu Shu left Shen Youlin in the hotel lobby and snuck into the bride's room at the hotel.
The wedding skipped the ritual of fetching the bride, as Lin Fangyu disliked the fuss, and the elders of both families also agreed to forgo it, fearing the commotion might harm her unborn child.
When Yu Shu arrived at the room, Lin Fangyu was being fussed over by the makeup artist, who told Yu Shu to find a seat.
Xia Zhiyang and Yang ZhiXia were filming videos; they were bridesmaids today. Seeing Yu Shu, they joked that if they served as bridesmaids for her again, they would have completed their mission and not get married themselves.
With the booming promotion and rising fame, the sisters' story had also been uncovered by netizens—twin sisters supporting each other, earning money to treat their parents' cancer, creating a business miracle.
Truly, there were talking points everywhere.
Their story was not only covered by various media outlets, but they were also recently praised by official media, commending them as exemplars of the contemporary youth's perseverance and resilience.
After the initial shock of their overnight fame, the sisters quickly regained their composure, realizing that being famous was a great business opportunity.
Money, they always had to make it!
The sisters quickly embraced the influencer path, tying their fame and the "Zha Zha Hu Hu" brand together, sharing their daily lives, and occasionally livestreaming to promote the brand. Recently, they had been extremely busy, not only mastering social media but also collaborating with air fryer manufacturers to develop commercial air fryers and research oil-free, healthy fried skewers.
Every time Yu Shu heard the updates from "Zha Zha Hu Hu," she was in awe of the two, who seemed to have inexhaustible energy.
Zhixia asked Yu Shu with her phone, "Do you want to be in the video?"
Yu Shu smiled, "Sure."
As they were filming, Lin Fangyu's mother entered, bringing them breakfast. Lin Fangyu also took a break from the makeup artist's clutches to eat.
Lin's Mother nagged, "Going on a honeymoon while pregnant, you're being so willful, not even thinking about the child in your belly, selfishly seeking your own pleasure. And Xuan'an just indulges you..."
In the past, Lin Fangyu would have been heartbroken and cried upon hearing such words, but knowing that Bai Xuan'an would stand by her unconditionally, she treated her mother's words as mere noise.
"When can't you go on a honeymoon? Why does it have to be now? You're a mother now, you can't be so willful anymore. You should talk to Xuan'an about it."
He dared to give, but Yu Shu wouldn't dare to take.
Yu Shu whispered, "Don't try to catch the bouquet later."
Shen Youlin looked at her in surprise, "How did you know I wanted to catch the bouquet? Why can't I?"
"If you catch it, everyone will be looking at me, wondering when we're getting married."
Shen Youlin sat sulking on the chair, pouting like a child with puffed-out cheeks.
Yu Shu poked his cheek, "Alright, don't be mad."
"Not mad, just sad," Shen Youlin pursed his lips. "You're not ready for marriage yet. It means I haven't given you enough confidence and longing for marriage."
Yu Shu considered this, "When you put it that way, you're kind of right."
In truth, Yu Shu was also afraid of marriage and hadn't fully prepared herself for the next stage of life.
During the bouquet toss, a blunder occurred—no one tried to catch the bouquet. When the bride threw it, everyone scattered, avoiding it.
Fortunately, the witty emcee picked up the bouquet and quipped, "Oh my, the bouquet landed in my hands... uh, I won't say where it's inserted. Catching this bouquet symbolizes a wish for the catcher to be the next to enter the marriage hall. If it symbolized a wish for the catcher to become rich, you'd all be scrambling for it."
The crowd burst into laughter. After the playful remark, the emcee turned serious again, "A single flower is beautiful on its own, two flowers represent hearts in harmony, and three, four, or five flowers only get better and better. But no one can say a single flower isn't beautiful. I present this bouquet to all the single guests here. Whether you share your life with someone in the future or not, I wish you all to live as beautifully and freely as these fresh flowers."
After the emcee's words, thunderous applause erupted.
As the newlyweds went to change into their toast outfits, the scene became bustling. The wedding company staff weaved through the guests, distributing red roses to them and instructing them to hide the roses first, then take them out together with the groom later to surprise the bride.
Yu Shu twirled the rose in her hand and smiled at Shen Youlin, "Xuan'an usually seems like a block of wood, but I didn't expect him to be so romantic."
Shen Youlin scoffed, "Wait until our wedding. I'll be a hundred times more romantic than him! Don't believe me, try me."
"Mm, I'll try you someday."
"Have the guts to try me now!"
"I don't have the guts."
