Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: Contemporary Youth’s Self-Determination

Even if you have to get up at 6 in the morning, you still go to bed past midnight.

This is the self-discipline of the contemporary young people.

Li Xiaoyun lay down first and patted the pillow beside her, "Lie down and let’s chat, we’ll get tired and fall asleep."

Ye Fei thought it made sense and lay down.

To ease her nervousness, Ye Fei asked, "About you and Uncle Four..."

Before Ye Fei could finish, Li Xiaoyun knew what she wanted to ask, quickly grabbed the remote from the bedside, and turned on the projector.

"I think watching a movie helps you sleep faster than chatting," Li Xiaoyun said, "Especially when you lie down and watch a movie; you fall asleep super fast."

No matter how good the movie is, as long as you lie down, you can definitely fall asleep.

Ye Fei: "..."

Li Xiaoyun was really quick to change the subject to avoid this topic.

Li Xiaoyun specially chose a movie with a particularly slow pace.

Sure enough, after lying down and watching it for a while, Ye Fei fell asleep.

And it wasn’t even 10 o’clock.

Li Xiaoyun calculated that Ye Fei could sleep for 5 hours, not bad at all.

Li Xiaoyun then turned off the projector and followed suit to sleep.

She also had to get up early with Ye Fei, but she didn’t need to be as tired as Ye Fei and could still sneak in some rest.

Both Li Xiaoyun and Ye Fei were groggy, sleeping so soundly they didn’t even know where they were anymore.

***

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li’s room door was closed, and they couldn’t sleep either.

This was their first time marrying off a daughter. When it’s Li Xiaoyun’s turn, it’ll be the second time, and they’d have experience by then, probably not as nervous.

Mrs. Li couldn’t sleep, so she leaned on the headboard and chatted with Mr. Li.

"Sigh!" Mrs. Li sighed, "I really feel for Ye Fei. Getting married from her maternal home but not with her real family."

"What do you mean? We are her real family!" Mr. Li immediately said.

Mrs. Li thought about it and nodded, "Right, she calls us godfather and godmother, so we are her family. It’s better she doesn’t acknowledge her birth family, they’re too unreasonable."

"I heard Ye Fei didn’t even invite them to the wedding," Mr. Li said, "I figure they probably don’t even know about Ye Fei’s wedding."

"It’s better this way, so they don’t cause trouble," Mrs. Li said, "I can’t imagine what’s wrong with them, having such a great daughter and not acknowledging her, pushing her away instead."

They must be out of their mind.

"They don’t acknowledge her, but we do," Mr. Li said, "I’m genuinely touched and happy that Ye Fei chose to get married here."

Who said you can’t bond with someone else’s child?

A lot of people prefer to adopt from infancy, not wanting children who are already older and understand more.

But they’ve been with Ye Fei for six years.

During these six years, they treated Ye Fei like their own daughter.

Taking care of Xiao Mo was just like helping their daughter with her child.

Ye Fei was close to them too.

But when they met Ye Fei, she was already an adult.

And no matter how badly her family treated her, she did have her own family.

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had never thought of replacing anyone.

Until Ye Fei started calling them godfather and godmother, and Xiao Mo called them grandpa and grandma.

Their relationship with Ye Fei gradually became closer without them even realizing it.

Seeing how Ye Fei’s family was, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had privately said it would be better if Ye Fei were their daughter.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fei chose to get married here.

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li immediately felt a special sense of comfort.

They didn’t love Ye Fei in vain.

"Alright, let’s get some sleep," Mrs. Li reminded, "We also have to get up early to get busy."

According to tradition, the bride’s family prepares dumplings and noodles for the groom’s party when they come to pick up the bride.

Zhao Gushen arranged for a helper to come, so Mr. Li and Mrs. Li wouldn’t have to do it themselves.

But they couldn’t just stay in bed, could they?

So the two hurriedly went to bed, restoring their energy to get up early.

***

It was getting cooler now and Ye Fei, still groggy, heard someone knocking at the door: "Xiao Fei, Xiao Yun, time to get up."

Ye Fei felt the coolness on her nose exposed outside the quilt.

After a while, seeing there was no response from them,

Mrs. Li knew they wouldn’t wake up just by knocking outside the door.

So Mrs. Li pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing the two are still sleeping soundly, Mrs. Li shook her head in amusement, saying, "Both are adults, and one is even a mom, but when they’re together, they’re just like kids."

Mrs. Li shook Ye Fei, "Xiao Fei, wake up, Xiao Ya is here."

Ye Fei struggled to open her eyes.

It’s only three-thirty now, and it’s still pitch-black outside.

But the lights were on outside the bedroom.

The light pouring in was a bit dazzling.

But in this chilly night, it strangely felt extra warm.

"Get up, it’s three-thirty," seeing Ye Fei open her eyes, Mrs. Li quickly said, "Xiao Ya has already arrived with her team."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fei immediately woke up and quickly sat up.

The cold air from outside the quilt made Ye Fei shiver, but she was fully awake now.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyun also woke up groggily.

But she was still reluctant, wanting to nap a little longer.

Knowing very well that she had to get up soon, every extra second was a bonus nap.

Mrs. Li wasn’t as courteous to Li Xiaoyun.

She directly gave Li Xiaoyun a pat on the butt: "You better get up too, Xiao Fei is already awake. People are busy already, yet you’re still sleeping?"

Li Xiaoyun finally got up, grumbling all the while.

Ye Fei hurried out.

Saw Shi Xiaoya and her team preparing.

"Sorry, I woke up late," Ye Fei hurriedly said.

Shi Xiaoya shook her head with a smile, "No, we’re just a bit early; having extra time is more secure. Don’t rush, you wash up, and we’ll prepare here."

"Okay." Ye Fei quickly went to wash up.

After washing up, she came out with nothing on her face.

Whatever should be applied before makeup, Shi Xiaoya would decide.

Since it was still midnight and dark outside,

the house lighting wasn’t sufficient.

Shi Xiaoya was well-prepared and had brought a mirror with LED lights.

Only then did Ye Fei understand why Shi Xiaoya brought so many people.

With so much gear, it would indeed be hard to carry with fewer people.

Shi Xiaoya set up a temporary vanity, laying out all her cosmetics on the table.

So she could clearly see and choose what she needed.

She then chose water, eye cream, and face cream from Ye Fei’s skincare products.

"Just these three?" Li Xiaoyun, watching from the side, asked suspiciously.

Shi Xiaoya is a renowned makeup artist.

Many top-tier artists request her makeup but have to wait their turn.

Getting the chance to watch Shi Xiaoya do makeup live, Li Xiaoyun surely seized the opportunity.
