A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 5: The wedding

The Computer Science Department's team wins the game in the end and proceeds to the semifinals.  The Computer Science department students cheer in victory, but Xiao Nai never shows up in the end, so the girls feel rather upset.

Wei Wei dashes back to her dorm room right after, logs into the game, and sees that ASmileNaiHe's (WhyNotJustSmile) avatar is already lit up in her friends list.  Wei Wei sends him a message: "Sorry, I'm late."

ASmileNaiHe: "No problem. Come to Yue Lao's temple" (God of marriage and love)

Wei Wei rides a horse to Yue Lao's temple, but she is shocked by the big crowd of people in front.  Thankfully, there isn't as many people once she goes inside; only a few are standing and chatting to each other.

Wei Wei walks up to ASmileNaiHe: "How come there are so many people?"  Wei Wei didn't call any of her friends to come because she didn't take this wedding seriously, as well as feeling a little embarrassed to tell others that she is getting married again so soon.

ASmileNaiHe says: "You ask them."

Wei Wei looks at the others, and one of them called, TimelyRain, says: "Heh heh, congrats, congrats.  I told everyone who has nothing to do in our guild to come.  It'll probably be a grand sight when they all ride their horses and follow behind the marriage sedan in a bit."

Another one says: "People from our guild also came."

TimelyRain says: "Everyone is waiting for NaiHe's red pockets, hahahaha."

Wei Wei feels extremely embarrassed.  There are probably a couple hundred of people outside.  Hopefully, NaiHe doesn't go bankrupt after giving out red envelopes to everybody.

Just at this moment, Wei Wei receives a trading request from ASmileNaiHe; a couple of equipment items are on the list.  There isn't any need to review them in detail; just from their glow, she knows that they are all divine level items.  Wei Wei asks in surprise, "This is?"

ASmileNaiHe says simply: "Betrothal gifts."

Is...Is this how it feels like when you hook up with a sugar daddy?

This is....This is truly, truly, truly fantastic!

Wei Wei quickly recovers from the excitement, calms down, and rejects the trading request.  These equipment items are not cheap, and she isn't thick-skinned enough to the point of accepting other people's things.

ASmileNaiHe sends another message: "Accept it.  You'll need it when we go PK."

So that's the reason.  Wei Wei thinks for a second and accepts them; she then gives him her best equipment, a ring that boosts speed.

ASmileNaiHe types a question mark to her.

Wei Wei says: "My dowry."

Wei Wei blushes in front of her computer screen.  She must have gotten used to being teased by members in the party enough, so she could actually say this out without hesitation.  Furthermore, her "dowry" is incomparable to his "betrothal gifts."  Wei Wei adds while feeling embarrassed: "It's not much.  I'll give you more later."

ASmileNaiHe sends a smiley face: "Okay."

He then says: "You really only just need to come."

Wei Wei continues to blush.

After exchanging their betrothal gifts and dowry, they stand in front of Yue Lao's statue and perform the wedding rituals.  The system bot announces: "ReedWeiWei (HumbleReed) and ASmileNaiHe are deeply in love.  At Yue Lao's temple, they promise to be together and cherish each other forever, and never part."
