Chapter 1443
"Steamed Fish Soup, Three Delicacies, and Eight Treasures Exquisite Rice. They were all my favorites. Thank you, Aunt Feng!"
In the small but cozy living room, a group of people sat around the stove. Feng Yaya looked at the table full of dishes from her memory and couldn't stop smiling.
"Yaya, thanks to you, Aunt Feng hasn't cooked so many dishes in a long time," said a girl about the same age as Feng Yaya. Her eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled.
"Yeah, Yaya, you've been gone for so many years. We thought we'd never see you again," said a dark-skinned young man with an honest smile.
"I remember when we were young, we didn't have enough to eat, but Yaya took everyone to eat. She was like a tomboy at that time. Who would have thought that a girl has changed so much. She's almost unrecognizable now," sighed a thin and short young man with freckles on his face.
"Bamboo pole, who are you calling a tomboy?"
Feng Yaya immediately glared at the young man, causing everyone at the table to laugh.
Everyone present was a brother and sister who had lived together in the rundown temple when they were young and were later taken in by Aunt Feng. Because they depended on each other since they were young, even though they had grown up and had their own livelihoods, they all rushed home as soon as they heard that Feng Yaya was back.
And in order to welcome Feng Yaya back, Aunt Feng went far away to buy groceries early in the morning. In the evening, she cooked a table full of dishes. All the family sat around the stove, as if celebrating the New Year.
The house was happy and harmonious. Feng Yaya hadn't felt the warmth of a family for a long time. The smile on her face never disappeared, and she even secretly wiped away her tears.
Everyone laughed and talked about the good times when they went to the sea to catch fish together. They talked about how, in order to buy new clothes for them during the New Year, Aunt Feng worked in a rich family's house until New Year's Eve, while they waited at the door, and then went home together singing in the heavy snow.
Although they were poor when they were young, they found that there was so much happiness when they looked back, because Aunt Feng gave orphans like them a warm home.
"Alright, it's rare for Yaya to come back. Why keep bringing up the past? Do you have to make her cry?"
Aunt Feng saw that Feng Yaya's eyes had turned red as she chatted with the crowd. She smiled and stopped the crowd from talking about the past.
"Aunt Feng, what I owe you, I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime." Feng Yaya was a little drunk and sobbed seriously.
"Silly child." Aunt Feng shook her head when she saw this. She secretly turned around and wiped away her tears.
The scene in the house was moving. Far away from the house, Gu Chen stood on a hillside, looking at Feng Yaya who was immersed in the joy of reuniting with her family. He clenched his fist so tightly that his nails pierced into his flesh!
He looked at Kong Sheng, who had not said a word and was smiling at the reunion of his family. His eyes were filled with coldness!
"By the way, Yaya, did you come back for something urgent?"
After three rounds of wine, Aunt Feng smiled and asked Feng Yaya.
At this moment, Kong Sheng, who had been quiet all this while, finally spoke. "Actually, Yaya and I came back this time to prepare to get married in Cerulean Sea Star. I hope that Aunt Feng and everyone here can be witnesses."
Feng Yaya's siblings were excited when they heard this. They laughed and cheered. Aunt Feng's face was filled with surprise.
"Our Yaya is finally getting married," she said happily.
Feng Yaya saw Aunt Feng's elated look and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She could only respond with a soft hum.
That night, the topic of discussion became how to prepare for the wedding. The group of siblings promised to make Feng Yaya's wedding grand.
Contrary to the enthusiasm of the crowd, Feng Yaya was very calm and did not speak most of the time.
It was not until midnight that the crowd dispersed after eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Feng Yaya and Aunt Feng slept in the same room. The two of them sat together and talked for a long time, as if they had endless things to say.
Under the moonlight, Gu Chen watched Feng Yaya and Aunt Feng talk from afar. He did not say a word for a long time.
After a long time, when Feng Yaya fell asleep, Gu Chen turned and left.
Even after she fell asleep, she still had a smile on her face.
As Gu Chen thought so, he walked all the way to the seaside.
The sea breeze blew gently, messing up his hair. Just like his mood, it was extremely restless.
He suddenly hoped that Feng Yaya would never wake up from this beautiful dream.
But he knew very well that a dream was a dream. No matter how cruel reality was, one had to wake up eventually.
Gu Chen sat cross-legged by the seaside and quietly meditated.
The sun rose and the moon set. The tides rose and fell. He stayed there for a few days, like an old monk in meditation.
Occasionally, some passing fishermen noticed him, but they acted as if they did not see him and leisurely walked past him.
No one noticed that Gu Chen sat in the sea and sky. As the tides rose and fell, his essence, Qi, and spirit were constantly condensing and rising!
It was like a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed, intending to cut open the chaos under the heavens …
Feng Yaya's brothers and sisters were very efficient. In just a few days, they had settled all the matters of the wedding.
Today, Feng Yaya and Kong Sheng were going to be married.
This became a major event in this seaside town. From the harbor to the winding alleys, there were lanterns and colored banners everywhere.
"Yaya, you look so beautiful today."
Inside the room, a girl whose eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled enviously said while helping Feng Yaya dress up.
Feng Yaya only responded with a soft hum, looking a little depressed.
Feng Yaya's heart was indecisive. Ever since returning to Cerulean Sea Star, Gu Chen suddenly cut off contact with her.
She did not want to marry Kong Sheng, but she had no reason to reject him. Therefore, her feelings were particularly conflicted at this time.
She hoped that Gu Chen could give her some advice. Even if it was just to tell her to get married first and then think about it, she would feel much more at ease.
However, Gu Chen suddenly seemed to have disappeared from the world. This made her very flustered. She was worried that something had happened to Gu Chen, and she was also worried that he had given up on her.
Feng Yaya's heart was filled with mixed feelings. This continued until the night, when the wedding day arrived.
Many people in the town came to attend her wedding. The banquet was held from the courtyard to the outside.
Kong Sheng and Feng Yaya wore local wedding clothes and slowly walked into the hall side by side.
Feng Yaya looked around. There were many familiar faces among the guests. There were even a few uncles and aunts who chased them fiercely when they went to steal food from them in the past. They were all here.
Feng Yaya used to think that she was very powerful when she was able to steal food every time. But as she grew a little older, she realized that these fierce-looking elders were actually taking care of her in their own way.
