NIP Chapter 334 Wedding
Chapter 334 Wedding
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, then gently put his arms around Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaorui's waists:
"Yes, sir, I'm getting married to Xiaofu and Xiaorui. I brought them here today to share the good news with you."
Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned for several seconds before suddenly slapping his thigh and bursting into laughter:
"Good! Good! Good! I knew it! I knew I hadn't misjudged you, kid!"
He laughed as he tapped the edge of the table heavily with his large fingers:
"Last time those two girls brought you back, I noticed something was off about the three of you!"
"Just as I predicted! I was right!"
As the old man spoke, he gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up, his knuckles protruding, yet he did so with extraordinary force:
"Awesome! Not everyone can enjoy the blessing of having two women. You've got guts, kid!"
He paused, picked up the wedding candies on the table, unwrapped a packet, grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste spread in his mouth, and his smile became even brighter.
"Girls, this guy is reliable. If you follow him, you'll definitely have a good life."
"I'm here to sincerely congratulate you three! I wish you a happy marriage, a harmonious and blissful life, and a lifetime of joy and peace!"
Tang Xiaorui listened to the old man's blessings, her lips curving into a wide smile, and she subconsciously leaned closer to Lin Feng.
"Thank you, sir! We'll be fine!"
Tang Xiaofu blushed even more after the old man's words. She lowered her eyes slightly, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Thank you, sir."
Lin Feng smiled and said to the old man:
"Thank you for your kind words, sir. We will definitely be fine."
"I also brought lanterns and the character for 'double happiness' today, so I can hang them on the dormitory entrance to add some festive cheer."
As he spoke, he turned around and took out two large red lanterns and several "double happiness" characters from his personal space. He then took a ladder from the dormitory manager's office and gently leaned it against the door of the dormitory lobby.
With Tang Xiaorui and Tang Xiaofu supporting him on either side, Lin Feng steadily climbed the ladder.
He raised his hand and gently hung the lantern on the hook above the door, carefully adjusting its position to ensure it was hung straight.
Looking at the festive red decorations before me, I suddenly felt a pang in my heart.
He thought of his four wives at home, whom he had never married. There were no festive lanterns, no joyous double happiness characters, and no blessings from the crowd.
Thinking this, a pang of guilt rose in my heart, and I truly felt that I had wronged them.
After this wedding with Xiaofu and Xiaorui is over, I must hold a proper wedding for them when we get back.
Thinking this through, he pulled himself out of his thoughts, reached out and took the "double happiness" character from Tang Xiaofu, and carefully pasted it on the wall next to the lantern, pressing it gently with his fingertips to make it smooth and wrinkle-free.
Next, he pasted a "double happiness" character on each side of the door frame in the foyer. The red lanterns paired with the bright red "double happiness" characters instantly transformed the gloomy foyer into a festive place.

As dusk settled, the evening breeze carried the fresh scent of plants and trees from the zoo, gently sweeping across the open space in front of the zoo director's two-story building.
The empty field had already been decorated with a festive atmosphere.
Under the eaves of the small building, strings of red lanterns hung neatly, their warm yellow light spilling through the lantern paper and enveloping the entire open space in a gentle halo.
The walls and window frames were covered with large red "double happiness" characters, their edges fluttering gently in the evening breeze, adding a touch of liveliness.
In the center of the open space, three round tables were neatly arranged, covered with festive red tablecloths, and bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses were set out.
The table was already laden with chicken, duck, fish, meat, hot and cold dishes, with plates and bowls stacked high, and the aroma was irresistible.
In front of the open space, a simple altar was temporarily set up. On the altar was an offering table with candlesticks, incense burner, red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds. On both sides were couplets that read "A match made in heaven" and "A perfect couple."
Below the altar, a charcoal fire burned brightly, and next to it was a beautifully carved wooden saddle, showcasing the solemnity of a traditional Chinese wedding.
In the boudoir on the second floor of the small building, the first ceremony of a traditional Chinese wedding—the "hair-sweeping ceremony"—is being performed with tender affection.
Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaorui sat side by side in front of the dressing table, already dressed in phoenix and peony robes and wearing golden phoenix crowns, but their red veils had not yet been put on.
Holding a peach wood comb, Tang Yuan first walked behind Tang Xiaofu and gently combed her long hair. His voice was warm and deep, carrying a hint of solemnity and reluctance.
"One comb to the end, two combs to white hair reaching the eyebrows, three combs to a house full of children and grandchildren."
The comb brushed through her hair, soft and long. Tang Xiaofu lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently, and a faint mist rose in her eyes.
She felt a mix of shyness about getting married, reluctance to leave her father, and anticipation for the future.
After combing Tang Xiaofu's hair, Tang Yuan walked behind Tang Xiaorui and repeated the same actions, reciting the same auspicious words.
Tang Xiaorui, usually so charming and lively, had now restrained herself, sitting obediently with flushed cheeks and slightly red eyes. She gently tugged at her father's sleeve and whispered, "Dad..."
Tang Yuan stopped combing her hair and gently patted her hand: "My good daughter, you'll be someone else's wife from now on. You must live a good life with Lin Feng, and you two sisters must support each other, understand?"
The two sisters nodded at the same time, their voices soft and gentle: "Yes, Dad."
After the head-raising ceremony was over, Qin Huo'er quickly and carefully placed two large red veils over the heads of the two people.
........................
Downstairs, in the open space, zoo employees who had come to the banquet had taken their seats one after another, chatting in twos and threes, their tones containing both blessings and a hint of controversy.
"Do you think Director Tang has lost her mind? She actually married her two precious daughters off to a human?!" A thin employee scoffed, his tone full of disdain.
"Human lifespan is short. What good is strength if you're powerful? You might be gone any day. Wouldn't those two girls be left to live like widows?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Lei of the Fang Squad immediately retorted sharply:
"What do you know! Mr. Lin Feng is no ordinary human being. If it weren't for his intervention, we would have fallen into the abyss sooner or later. Do you have that kind of ability?"
The skinny employee retorted, "So what if you resolved the impasse? Humans are just humans. Director Tang is practically pushing her daughter into a fire pit!"
Not far away, the dormitory supervisor straightened his hunched back and cleared his throat:
"You fucking know nothing! Lin Feng may be human, but he is also a chosen one."
"The chosen one clears the dungeon, the rewards are incredible, and he might even outlive you!"
The skinny employee wanted to argue, but the dormitory supervisor glared at him and shut him up.
"Leaving aside the fact that you don't even have half of Lin Feng's skills, just your physique and appearance alone are so bad that you're not even fit to be his shoe-shiner!"
The skinny employee's face turned red from the rebuke. He clenched his fists and was about to step forward to argue when Wang Chui, a member of the Fang Squad, pressed him down.
Wang Chui's brow furrowed, and he lowered his voice to warn, "Today is a joyous occasion. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I won't be polite!"
The skinny employee froze, staring at Wang Chui's thick arms, but ultimately dared not unleash his fury.
Just then, a steady footstep came from upstairs, and everyone's eyes turned toward the living room.
Tang Yuan, dressed in a sharp Zhongshan suit and leaning on a cane, walked slowly out of the living room, his brows conveying both a sense of authority and a hint of joy...
