Death Flute
Weddings

All agreed to hold a wedding ceremony a week later. After all they couldn't possibly wait until Ting Ting's content was enlarged and visible to others.

Ting Ting refused to wear the bridal outfit he had worn when he was about to marry Meng Huan. For her the dress brought bad luck because it was once compared to the destroyer of her future.

“Then we just use your usual clothes,” break Ouwyang Ping. “It's a good thing you used to love the color red so we could use your old clothes. Just need to be changed a little.”

“Betul,” nod Sui She. He went to the wardrobe and took out a small set of clothes that were three years old, but still looked new and beautiful. “This is it, yes?” said. Then without waiting for the girl's approval, he went out of the room to his own room to pick up a sewing device, no matter how the size of the shirt had to be enlarged, especially at the waist.

Ting Ting was glued to look at her and blushed.

“What's up?” Ouwyang Ping looked at Ting Ting's behavior.

“Fei Yu.. The first time she saw me, I was wearing that outfit,” I am Ting Ting with a dead red face.

Ouwyang Ping laughed. “One coincidence!”

Ting Ting sighed. “I did not expect at all that he would be my soul mate. At that time I was so crazy about Sister Wan,” he said slowly.

Ouwyang Ping. “True. I'm the same.”

“Now when I remember the past, I feel so guilty. If only I had paid more attention to Fei Yu in the past. surely she would not have gotten me in this state...”.

Ouwyang Ping shook his head. “In this way you know whether your love for you is sincere or not. It's been proven, right? He's so sincere to you. The proof, he does not mind your situation like this.”

Ting Ting nodded.

“You yourself... do you still like Sister Wan?” ting Ting asked a moment later carefully.

Ouwyang Ping was stunned. Slowly he sighed. “Lying when I say I've forgotten the memories of the past, Ting Ting. But we can't live in the past, can we? I mean, life goes on. Sister Wan is already with Kui Fang and I.” She smiled at Ting Ting. “Maybe we are negligent and have not had time to tell you. But I've also been betrothed to your sister. Grandfather who set it up while on Ginseng Island.”

Ting Ting Ting's eyes widened. “Really?”

Ouwyang Ping nodded.

“Very good!” exclaimed Ting Ting happily. “Now we are not only cousins, but also brothers-in-law!”

“Sst!” Ouwyang Ping put a finger on his mouth. “Do not hard. My mom and dad don't know about this either. I want Grandpa to talk about it.”

Ting Ting clasped tightly onto Ouwyang Ping's hand. “I'm so happy,” he said in a vibrating voice. “Since my sister liked you. I want you to know that. He harbors his feelings for not wanting to burden you. Especially when you belong to Sister Wan. My brother abstains from seizing his best friend's lover himself.”

“I know it,” smile Ouwyang Ping.

Fei Yu and Ting Ting's wedding only took a week to prepare. No invitations were sent. Only to their close friends. Especially Pendekar Sung and the Butterfly Party.

Kui Fang heard the news of the wedding and felt very excited. But he was disappointed that he could not attend. His mother has not recovered from her illness. His father did not want to leave before his mother recovered, nor did he allow her to leave. They were forced to not come and just send a courier to bring gifts.

Wen Chiang was the one they sent.

“Our chief apologized profusely for his absence. Understand, Mrs Wu is in a terrible pain.”

“Nothing,” says Ouwyang Kuan friendly. “May Mrs Wu get well soon.”

Wen Chiang looked at Chien Wan. “O yes, Miss Wu sent a letter to you, Swordsman Ouwyang.” He took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Chien Wan.

Chien Wan accepted it and kept it.

“What is it?” usik Siu Hung was curious. “Open up and read to me!”

“He, Bad boy! What did you ask to read it to? The letter was to Chien Wan a. You really don't know manners!” omel Tuan Ouwyang.

Siu Hung.

Chien Wan smiled and kept the letter in her pocket, making Siu Hung's frown deepen and Mr. Ouwyang's winning smile widen.

Siu Hung's cuteness somewhat fascinated Wen Chiang, but he soon behaved normally. Ouwyang Kuan invited him to go inside and rest.

Chien Wan resigned from the living room and went to her room. There he opened the letter that Kui Fang had sent him. He read it:

Good brother Wan, good,

How you doing there? I hope you're okay. Here I am fine too. My mother's condition is much better. It's just that his condition is still weak so I can't leave him to pay a visit to the Bamboo Guesthouse.

I really want to see you, Sister Wan. Being apart from you for almost ten days feels like ten years. I never thought I would feel something like this. I hope you miss me as much as I miss you.

When will we meet again? You promised to catch up with me at the Butterfly Party. I will always wait for you, Sister Wan. Every day I will miss waiting for you. I just hope my wait won't be long and you'll come visit me soon.

How are things going? Have you asked your parents for forgiveness because I didn't have time to say goodbye to them? How are your grandfather and Siu Hung? Ping-er and Brother Luo? I hope it's okay.

A letter from me, Sister Wan. I will always wait and pray for you.

It's me who misses you, Kui Fang.

Chien Wan smiled and folded the letter back, then put it in a pocket in her clothes. He threw himself down and closed his eyes. Kui Fang's sweet face flashed through his mind. He held his head in wonder, feeling astonished at himself. He never suspected that he would be as kasmaran as he is today. His longing for Kui Fang was peaking. It was impatient to wait until the marriage ceremony was over so that he could visit Kui Fang at the Butterfly Party like he had promised the girl.

The wedding ceremony between Ting Ting and Fei Yu was very simple yet solemn. It was indeed impossible to hold a big party with such short preparation. Especially considering the state of Ting Ting who was pregnant for five months.

Ting Ting looked beautiful and radiant. Her pregnancy was completely invisible. People who do not know will think of her as a girl who is rather plump, not pregnant. His pair of eyes seemed bright, a sign of his burden having been greatly reduced. And it is. Fei Yu's sincerity had truly touched his heart and soul. With Fei Yu, he would not feel humiliated or harassed. Fei Yu adored him and was willing to accept him as he was. Fei Yu was indeed unromantic, even tending to be gluttonous and straightforward. But his heart was soft and loving. Ting Ting appreciated her more than the fake outer affection.

Happiness struck Fei Yu's heart so much that the young man unceasingly smiled. He looked so handsome on that happy day. He looked at his wife with immeasurable pride and happiness.

Mr. Chang looked at his dearly drunk son by his bride. Fei Yu's happiness obliterated the feeling of objection that was actually still engulfing her heart. Maybe it should be, he thought. Fei Yu became an adult thanks to her love for Ting Ting, becoming a man that everyone could rely on, wise and big-spirited. No child is more proud of a parent than a child of that nature.

The bride was taken to the bridal chamber while the husband was entertained by his relatives. They teased the happy young man until the young man's face was red with shame mixed with happiness.

“Fei Yu, I toast to you!” Sen Khang raised his wine cup. “Put my sister into your hands. Happy him!”

Fei Yu lifted his cup. “I should've toasted to you. You are my brother-in-law! Sorry for stepping on you.”

Sen Khang laughed and downed his wine.

“When are you following?” siu Hung asked with interest in Sen Khang.

Sen Khang laughed. “Still long. There are still many affairs that need to be resolved.” He glanced at Ouwyang Ping whose face was blushing.

They talked happily and talked about various things.

It was already late in the evening when the drunken groom was led by his friends into the bridal chamber. His steps were unstoppable and unceasingly bumped into things.

Ting Ting was already waiting on a bed covered in a red silk cloth embroidered with hongs. It is also red in color and made of a smooth and translucent material. A fragrant aroma wafted in the bride's room. Ting Ting's head was covered in a red cloth. She awaits the arrival of her husband since the completion of the ceremony accompanied by a bride.

The bedroom door opened interspersed with the laughter of several men. Enter Fei Yu into the room with dazed steps. The bridal makeup artist immediately came out after pouring the bridal wine.

Fei Yu waited until everyone came out of her room and stopped pretending to be drunk. He deliberately pretended to be drunk because otherwise they would not let him go to see his bride. He stepped towards the bed. Slowly, he opened a veil that covered the beautiful face of his wife.

Ting Ting's beautiful face looked reddish. Highlight his eyes looked timid and gentle, his gaze lowered down so there was no need to look at Fei Yu. He felt embarrassed and awkward about facing his first night.

She is no longer a virgin, but she has no experience at all. What happened to him first was coercion and he didn't like it at all. He felt nothing but excruciating pain. Now facing his first real night, he felt doubtful and uncertain. A little scared too.

Fei Yu understood his feelings. This was the time to prove how much she loved and cared about Ting Ting's feelings. She is inexperienced herself, but her instincts warn her to be careful of her bride. She felt Ting Ting must be traumatized. He just sat down and looked at the girl.

They sat face to face on the bed, drinking bridal wine. Then Fei Yu looked at him gently. His hand reached into his clothing pocket, taking out the thing he always carried with him everywhere.

“Fei Yu...” Ting Ting looked at the astonishment.

Fei Yu raised a hand before Ting Ting, revealing the thing he had taken. A beautiful hairpick made of red precious stones that shone among the light of the candle.

Ting Ting was wide-eyed. “Fei Yu, this...”.

“You remember? I took this hairpick out of your hair the first time we met. Because of this hair pin I took, your hair became unraveled. For almost three years, this thing has always been with me. I take this as your replacement,” Fei Yu explained in a soft voice that she had rarely used so far.

Ting Ting Ting's eyes were glazed. It was unexpected that Fei Yu's love turned out to be so deep. “Oh, Fei Yu...,” his sigh half sobbed.

“Now, I got you. Then I'll return this hairpick to you. I no longer need to look at him when I miss you and consider him as your substitute because you are already by my side now,” Fei Yu continued. Then he put the hairpin back on Ting Ting's bun. He saw the face of his wife, then said, “You are beautiful once.”

“Fei Yu.” Ting Ting leaned his body against Fei Yu's chest. He was very grateful for his luck. Getting a man like Fei Yu as her husband was a gift to be grateful for. It was rare for a man like Fei Yu in this world, whose love was not wavered by anything.

Fei Yu hugged him tightly....
