Junior Brother Pays Respect to You: Chapter 64 - Alright, Let’s Get Married
Chapter 64: Alright, Let’s Get Married
The room fell silent.
Hong Yi seriously pondered over what Qin Zheng had just said.
At first, she was skeptical, but after carefully recalling the series of actions taken by her husband’s junior brother during their time in Xifeng Valley, she suddenly felt… perhaps it wasn’t impossible.
That would also explain why the junior brother was so opposed to the marriage without giving any reason.
Seeing the hesitation on Hong Yi’s face, as if she were starting to believe him, Qin Zheng quickly persuaded her, “Why don’t you go talk it over with your sisters?”
“After all, this is a lifelong matter.”
“Besides, we’re immortals. Our lives are endless—unlike mortals who only have a few decades. This won’t just pass in the blink of an eye.”
“If you marry me, that could mean hundreds or even thousands of years… Are you really all going to be widows in spirit for that long?”
Suddenly, Hong Yi stood up and looked at Qin Su sitting on the bed with a scornful gaze.
But Qin Su wasn’t fazed at all.
The air seemed thick with tension.
But when it came to aura, Qin Zheng had absolute faith in his junior brother.
Sure enough, not long after, Hong Yi gave in. Still, she arrogantly hooked a finger at Qin Su and said, “You, come outside with me.”
Qin Su didn’t react right away, but calmly got off the bed and followed her out.
Qin Zheng quickly looked toward him, but with Hong Yi there, he couldn’t speak openly.
Watching the door silently close behind them, Qin Zheng hoped Qin Su had listened to everything earlier and would help him out.
Now alone in the room, Qin Zheng paced anxiously, unable to stay still.
His request was abrupt and awkward. Who knew whether his junior brother would be willing to acknowledge such nonsense?
He had already paced countless times, constantly peeking toward the door.
Finally, he couldn’t help himself and quietly crept toward it, hoping they were speaking near the entrance so he could overhear.
But things didn’t go as he wished. Even with his ear pressed against the door, he couldn’t hear a single word from outside.
They must’ve moved away.
About the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the tightly shut door was finally pushed open from the outside.
Qin Zheng quickly turned around.
Qin Su came in first.
He didn’t look upset, which suggested the conversation had gone well.
Qin Zheng glanced behind him but didn’t see Hong Yi. “Where’s Hong Yi?”
“She went to discuss it with the other two.”
Hearing that, Qin Zheng rushed forward and asked in a low voice, “So… what did you two talk about?”
Qin Su thought for a moment and replied, “She just wanted to confirm if we were really in that kind of relationship.”
Qin Zheng asked nervously, “And what did you say?!”
“She believed it.”
“Huh?” Qin Zheng looked at Qin Su in disbelief, then quickly brightened. “She believed our relationship?”
“Hahaha!” Qin Zheng burst out laughing, unable to hide his pride. “I really am clever! Why didn’t I think of this sooner?!”
He had finally escaped a disaster.
After gloating for a while, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Qin Su—
Who was giving him a rather unreadable look, giving him a chill.
Qin Zheng gave an awkward laugh and said, “It was the only option I had. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Well, you already admitted it, so just think of it as doing your senior brother a huge favor.”
“Mm.” Qin Su’s indifferent response made the stone in Qin Zheng’s heart finally settle.
Suddenly, there was a burst of footsteps outside the room.
The door was pushed open again.
Qin Zheng didn’t even need to look—he knew it had to be the three sisters.
Lan Yi was the first to burst in and ran straight up to Qin Zheng, her face full of sorrow. “Is what my sister said… true?”
Then Bai Yi followed, holding a red bundle in her hands, her expression dim as she looked at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng said awkwardly, “I’m truly sorry. It was my fault for disappointing the affections of the three of you.”
Lan Yi looked sad for just a moment before suddenly changing her expression with a tone of realization: “No wonder Yu Jingchen couldn’t find a dual cultivation partner for thousands of years—it’s because he likes men!”
“He probably didn’t even realize it himself.”
At that moment, Hong Yi stepped forward and said, “Since it’s heaven’s will, the three of us sisters have decided not to persist anymore.”
She then looked around the room and added, “Since we’ve already prepared the wedding setup, it would be a shame to waste it, wouldn’t it?”
“Huh?” Qin Zheng looked at her in confusion. “Since you’ve given up on marrying me, for the sake of your reputations, such a sacred event shouldn’t be treated lightly.”
Hong Yi smiled. “What are you thinking? Who said we’re marrying you?”
Lan Yi nodded and said, “We’ve all decided—since the bond between you and your junior brother is so deep, why not just get married here?”
“That old stick Qing Yuan probably still believes immortals shouldn’t form emotional attachments. If you go back to the sect, you’ll just have to keep hiding it. You’d never be recognized as official Dao companions.”
“So let’s just have the wedding here. We three sisters will be your witnesses.”
Qin Zheng looked at the people before him in a daze, completely confused as to how things had somehow turned into him marrying Qin Su.
He quickly turned to glance at Qin Su, intending to ask him to talk them out of it. But to his shock, Qin Su didn’t seem the least bit displeased.
Left with no choice, Qin Zheng had to try persuading them himself.
After some thought, he said, “There’s no need to go to all that trouble. We don’t care much about ceremony. As long as there’s love in our hearts, that’s enough.”
The three sisters immediately shook their heads. “No, the ceremony is just a bonus. Everything’s already prepared anyway.”
Qin Zheng frowned and said, “What do you mean everything’s prepared? There’s only one wedding robe, isn’t there? Are you saying you’ll have to rush to make another one?”
“We can’t possibly make my junior brother, a dignified man, wear a dress, can we?”
“Even if he agreed, it probably wouldn’t fit, right?”
Bai Yi shook her head, removed a bundle from her wrist, placed it on the table, and opened it right in front of Qin Zheng.
“Actually, the three of us each made a wedding robe for you, so you could change into a different one each day for three days. But now, it works out—your husband can use one of them.”
“Your husband is about your size, so it should fit just fine.”
Qin Zheng rubbed his forehead helplessly.
“Wait a minute!” He suddenly realized something sounded very off.
“What do you mean my husband?”
Bai Yi replied matter-of-factly, “You’re marrying a man, so of course he’s your husband.”
Lan Yi echoed, “Exactly, exactly.”
As the three discussed titles, Hong Yi took the wedding robe from Bai Yi and handed it directly to Qin Su, cutting in, “Today’s an auspicious day. Hurry and change your clothes. When the lucky hour comes, we’ll head to the altar to hold the ceremony.”
She immediately pulled her two sisters out of the room.
Qin Zheng looked at the robe in Qin Su’s hand and smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t expect them to be this enthusiastic…”
Qin Su glanced at the robe, casually tossed it onto the bed, and said, “It’s fine.” Then, to Qin Zheng’s surprise, he calmly began changing clothes.
He didn’t seem the least bit opposed to this.
Qin Zheng looked at the outfit he had just changed out of, shrugged, and went to the bed to change back into the wedding robe once more.
“You ready?”
Just as the two finished dressing, someone called out from the door.
Judging by the voice, it was probably Hong Yi.
“Time’s almost up! Hurry, hurry!”
Qin Zheng looked helplessly at Qin Su, resigned, and walked toward the door.
When they opened it, Hong Yi stood there, giving the two men dressed in red from head to toe a once-over before nodding in satisfaction. “Looking at you like this, you actually make a good pair.”
“Glad we didn’t waste the effort of making those outfits.”
Then she led them toward the altar.
Lan Yi and Bai Yi were already waiting at the altar.
As they walked, Hong Yi sighed, “Sigh… a proper wedding needs a master of ceremonies.”
Still reluctant, Qin Zheng followed her up the altar steps.
When Lan Yi saw them arrive, she clapped excitedly. “Perfect timing! Let’s begin!”
Bai Yi immediately stepped forward and handed one end of the red silk ball to Qin Zheng and the other to Qin Su.
Once they were in position, Hong Yi cleared her throat. “Begin the ceremony!”
“First bow to the heavens and earth.”
Qin Zheng numbly bowed toward the sky.
“Second bow to the sect leader.”
Since their master wasn’t present, they just bowed again toward the sky.
“Husband and husband bow to each other.”
Qin Zheng glanced at Qin Su, who had already turned to face him. He forced a strained smile, and the two bowed together.
“Ceremony complete!”
The three sisters clapped enthusiastically.
Then the newlyweds were pushed and shoved into the wedding chamber by the sisters, who laughed and cheered the whole way.
They wouldn’t even let the two men let go of the red silk ball.
Eventually, Qin Su ended up pulling Qin Zheng forward by it.
The three sisters followed along, teasing them the entire time—not looking at all like women who had just lost their beloved.
As soon as Qin Zheng entered the room, he tossed the red silk aside, collapsed on the bed, and began stripping off his clothes.
“I don’t get it. It’s just a wedding ceremony. What’s so fun about it?”
After taking off the outer robe, Qin Zheng stood up and began removing the inner layers to change back into his regular clothes.
Qin Su, watching Qin Zheng undress once again, couldn’t help but let his gaze linger and examine him curiously.
Qin Zheng noticed Qin Su still standing there staring as he put on his clothes. He picked up Qin Su’s robe and threw it at him. “Hurry up and get changed.”
