After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 105
Lifelong partner?
When Pei Yi heard this speech that was different from a conventional proposal, ripples appeared in his heart and then spread all over his body at lightning speed.
The stinging in his eyes condensed into a thin layer of mist.
Pei Yi lowered his head to hide in embarrassment, but when he saw Bo Yueming still kneeling in front of him on one knee, he gave his answer practically without hesitation—
“If you’re not qualified, then no one in this world is qualified.”
“Bo Yueming.” Pei Yi solemnly called out his lover’s name and reached out his hand. “I love you.”
The heartstrings that had been tense all day finally relaxed the moment the ring was put on. Bo Yueming lowered his head and kissed the wedding ring, responding with solemn, focused affection.
“Me too. I love you too.”
Pei Yi couldn’t bear to let his lover continue to kneel, and quickly pulled him up. “Where’s your ring? I’ll put it on for you too.”
Bo Yueming took another ring out of his pocket and handed it over.
Pei Yi reached out and took it, and said in the same style, “Mr. Bo Yueming, are you willing to be my lifelong partner?”
Bo Yueming had guessed that his lover would ask this question, and said without hesitation, “Of course I’m willing.”
Pei Yi put the perfectly sized ring on his lover’s ring finger, then ran into his arms and hugged him. “When did you start preparing? I didn’t know anything about it.”
He felt that he was usually quite clever, but around Bo Yueming, he became a child who was confused about everything.
“If I said that I wanted to do this as early as when we first started dating, would you believe it?”
“Ah?”
Pei Yi was stunned for a second or two, and teased, “You wanted to tie me up so early?”
Bo Yueming bit his lipi lightly. “Didn’t I tell you earlier ‘one day, to one month, to one year, and then to a lifetime?’”
Whether it was Bo Lihong and Cynthia or Cheng Yangshan and Old Mrs. Bo, Bo Yueming was used to seeing betrayal in relationships, so he had decided early on—
In the future, he would either not easily start a relationship, or he would be sure of one person to the end.
Fortunately he got to know Pei Yi, who could always see through his true emotions and soothe his inner uneasiness.
Bo Yueming knew that Pei Yi’s fear of sentiment was even worse than his own, so he never forced the other party to keep up with him, and instead slowed his own pace to cooperate with his lover.
Luckily, in the past few months, the relationship between the two had become better and better.
Last time at Old Mrs. Bo’s banquet, Bo Yueming witnessed the prejudice and inconvenience caused by his and Pei Yi’s “business marriage” status, and his impulse to propose became increasingly strong.
And then that night, Pei Yi had nestled in his arms and told him about his past and his secrets little by little.
Bo Yueming was convinced that the person in his arms was also the person he wanted to grow old with.
Thus, he secretly planned this proposal without telling his lover.
There was not a great number of people, nor was it expensive. There was only his love and determination to do everything himself.
It was fortunate that nothing went wrong, and his kitten decisively agreed to his proposal.
Pei Yi was enveloped by happiness, and didn’t forget to murmur, “Er-ge, I actually intended to propose to you, but I didn’t expect that you would be so fast.”
Bo Yueming smiled and asked, “Is that so?”
“Definitely.”
Pei Yi picked up the red wine on the table and took another sip, admitting, “I didn’t believe in love before. I always felt that no matter how happy lovers were, they would eventually fall apart.”
“But you told me with your words and actions: That is not the case.”
“Er-ge, I believe in you, and I believe that we will be together for a lifetime.”
As Pei Yi spoke, he casually handed the remaining half glass of red wine to Bo Yueming. “A toast? To warmly celebrate your successful proposal!”
Only Pei Yi could think of such an odd reason to drink.
Bo Yueming laughed and took the drink without any avoidance at all. “It’s windy. Shall we go inside?”
Pei Yi glanced to the side and saw the brightly lit villa. “Okay, ah.”
The fireworks had launched so suddenly, and his beloved pet had left them behind to run inside. Now it was huddled behind the glass door, watching their every move.
. . . . . . . .
An hour later.
After washing up, Pei Yi reclined in bed and stared intently at the ring on his finger. Bo Yueming’s aesthetic taste was as excellent as ever—
The seemingly ordinary round ring actually adopted the design of a mobius strip. The gap at the twist on the front was inlaid with three white and black circles.
Understated, yet with a hint of refinement and luxury.
The more Pei Yi looked at it, the more he liked it and felt that it was a pity not to share it.
Although he was not usually a person who enjoyed showing off to others, he still couldn’t help but “attack” his friend after some consideration.
Pei Yi picked up the little straw butterfly in the vase and didn’t “deliberately” include his ring in the photo at all.
He quickly found Li Yuan in his contacts, clicked on the picture, and sent it.
“Does it look good? It’s a little straw butterfly.”
In less than half a minute, Li Yuan sent a reply.
“……”
The string of ellipses was straightforward and speechless.
As if he felt that this was not enough to relieve his anger, Li Yuan replied again, “Do you think I’m blind?”
Pei Yi was happy, and put on his performance more enthusiastically, “Tsk, tsk, look at me, I accidentally captured the ring.”
Li Yuan on the other end couldn’t bear it anymore and complained teasingly, “Little Boss Yi, why are you performing a tea ceremony at night? Who proposed to whom?”
The last sentence said normally.
Pei Yi leaned back on his pillow and replied in his usual tone, “He was one step ahead of me.”
“Congratulations. I hope you grow old together.”
Pei Yi accepted his friend’s blessing and gave him back the same, “Pear Garden, you will be very happy if you’ve met the right person. I hope you and Yan Cen will work hard too.”
Li Yuan on the other side was silent for a few seconds, then replied, “Treat us to dinner when you come back, and when we get married in the future, I will definitely give you a big red envelope.”
“Mr. Li is so generous.”
Pei Yi smiled as he typed, and went on to ask teasingly, “Does it look good? Are you envious?”
Li Yuan replied, “Stop showing off, be careful when you’re sleeping tonight.”
In the bathroom behind the curtain, the sound of water cut off.
Pei Yi knew that Bo Yueming had almost finished washing up, so he quickly ended the short and ostentatious conversation with Li Yuan and waited eagerly for his lover to come out of the bathroom.
As soon as Bo Yueming walked back to the master bedroom, he met Pei Yi’s shining eyes.
“Er-ge.”
“En?”
The moment Bo Yueming got close, Pei Yi took the initiative to jump on him.
The two exchanged a brief kiss, and the tips of their noses brushed against each other, ambiguous and tender.
“Are you happy?”
“En, happy.”
Bo Yueming pushed his lover back on the bed, took his hands, and kissed him. “As long as you’re happy. Let’s go to bed early.”
“…….”
Pei Yi was stunned for several seconds, and there was a hint of confused disappointment in his tone. “T-that’s it?”
Didn’t he just propose marriage?
Why not let out a little flame of nighttime love, ah!
Bo Yueming deliberately failed to understand, and pretended to be in earnest, “What can we do if not sleep? Wasn’t it you who said last night that it wouldn’t be allowed tonight either?”
“I don’t dare to disobey my kitten’s orders.”
Pei Yi felt hot and embarrassed when he heard Bo Yueming’s deliberate teasing.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly used his skills to press Bo Yueming onto the bed. He immediately lowered his head and actively raised his lover’s breathing and heart rate.
“Then I take back what I said last night, okay?”
Bo Yueming seemed to be guiding him, but also seemed to be letting him run wild. “Then what do you want to do?”
Pei Yi kissed his thin lips, and his hands began to fumble restlessly. “Er-ge, I……”
The kiss made him hot, confusing his senses.
Unknowingly, the momentary coldness was quickly replaced by the other’s warmth.
“Mmm.”
Pei Yi moaned. He was like a soft, ripe peach, tempting a person to taste it.
Bo Yueming kissed the lips of the person on top of him and urged him bewitchingly, “Be good and move.”
. . . . . . .
Half a month later, Pei Yi, who loved to sleep in, actually got up early.
He stared at the three large words, “Marriage Registration Center,” and felt a little complicated. He couldn’t help but look at Bo Yueming beside him. “Er-ge, are you nervous?”
Bo Yueming met his eyes and answered truthfully, “A little.”
But there was more excitement than nervousness.
He held his lover’s hand, and the ring on his ring finger felt a bit cool. “Are you nervous? Don’t have any regrets.”
Pei Yi chuckled. “I won’t regret it. It’s useless to regret it.”
There was no one who wouldn’t envy him having such a rich and handsome marriage partner.
Nowadays, same-sex marriage was very common. There were couples queuing up to register in the lobby, and everyone’s faces were filled with yearning for a happy new life.
Bo Yueming and Pei Yi sat in the unobtrusive last row and waited silently until the staff finally called them.
“Number sixteen, the next couple can come in.”
When Bo Yueming heard this number, he inadvertently crumpled the number in his hand and said, “It’s our turn.”
Pei Yi nodded. “En.”
The two of them walked quickly away from the last row. Probably because of their outstanding appearances, they attracted the attention of everyone in the hall in just a few steps.
Even the employee who was used to seeing everything widened her eyes. “You’re number sixteen?”
“Yes.”
Bo Yueming handed over the slightly crumpled number.
When the employee noticed this small detail, the corners of her eyes filled with a smile. It seemed like this couple was in true love, and had become nervous without realizing it.
She asked, “Did you bring your marriage registration photo?”
Pei Yi shook his head, answering confidently and casually, “No, just take it here.”
The employee took in their good looks and responded affirmatively, “Okay, come on in.”
As far as appearances were concerned, they really didn’t need to rely on retouching photos.
The photo booth in the marriage registration office was very simple, with a piece of red cloth in the background and two swivel chairs that could be adjusted in height.
When the photographer saw Bo Yueming and Pei Yi’s appearances, he was as excited as if he had met a couple of models. “Congratulations, gentlemen. Just go up and take a seat.”
“Wait a minute.”
Bo Yueming pulled the excited Pei Yi back and coughed.
For the first time in his life, he felt uncertain about his appearance, so he approached his lover and asked softly, “Kitten, do I look okay? Are my clothes messed up?”
Pei Yi smiled and said, “Er-ge, you look really good. In my eyes, you are the most handsome person.”
The two spoke in low tones, but it was enough to feed the nearby staff dog food.
The employee couldn’t help but say, “Sir, don’t worry. If your good looks don’t make a good picture, then whose could?”
Pei Yi smiled back. “That’s right. Little sister, we’ll treat you to wedding candy later.”
After that, he said to the photographer, “Brother, we’ll give you some too.”
The photographer was appropriately happy. “Okay!”
Bo Yueming saw his lover’s familiar cute appearance and suppressed his underlying nervousness.
The two quickly adjusted their postures for the shot. During the gap when the photographer was preparing, Pei Yi gently shook Bo Yueming’s hand and quietly confessed—
“Er-ge, I love you.”
Bo Yueming heard this, and an irresistible smile finally emerged on his face.
“Okay, you two, look over here. Get ready—”
“Three, two, one!”
Kacha.
With a press of the shutter, the happiness of the two people was captured!
. . . . . . .
It was approaching noon.
Bo Yueming and Pei Yi finally walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with two bright red wedding books in their hands.
Pei Yi touched the certificate with satisfaction, and then simply handed the copy in his hand to Bo Yueming. “Er-ge, here. I’ll leave it to you for safekeeping.”
“Hm?”
“Although there’s no chance of divorce between us in the future, you still have to hide it away.”
Bo Yueming accepted it with a rare lack of decorum. “Okay.”
He turned around and looked at the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau behind him. The waiting and registration that morning were more stressful than any acquisition case that he had ever handled before.
It wasn’t until the moment he walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau that he finally breathed out slowly.
Pei Yi clearly saw the change in Bo Yueming’s mood, and said happily, “Why were you so nervous today?”
Bo Yueming locked hands with him, and said everything in a few words. “Because it’s you.”
Because Pei Yi was the person he cared about most. Because they would walk hand in hand for a lifetime.
Pei Yi tacitly accepted his affection, and took the opportunity to raise his head and kiss Bo Yueming’s lips with a smile full of love.
“Husband, please take care of me in the future.”
