【Ding~ The task is successful. Karoon's黑化 value has decreased by 6. The current 黑化 value is 72. The host has succeeded in the task again!】
What do you mean by "again"? There's nothing wrong with the words, but the tone of the system made Xia Lin feel that, "System, are you feeling quite disappointed that I've succeeded in the task again?"
The system's voice sounded rather guilty. 【No way. You're overthinking, host.】
Xia Lin: Heh.
Xia Lin was too lazy to bother with the system. He had his own business to attend to now, which was that his wedding with Karoon was in two days. Xia Lin was extremely nervous. It was his first marriage in his life, and it was with a man.
Karoon's fathers had been staying in the palace these days. They were very concerned about their son's wedding. Karoon's gentle father, Achen, stroked Xia Lin's head. "Are you nervous?"
Xia Lin really liked such an elder-like gesture from the other person. It reminded him of his own mother (even though Achen was a man). He looked at Achen with bright eyes. Achen found him so cute that he couldn't help but ruffle Xia Lin's hair again. Xia Lin didn't get angry even though his hair was messed up.
"Since this is my first marriage, I'm... a bit scared."
Achen smiled understandingly. "I understand. I was even more nervous than you a few days before I married Noren. But later, when I thought that I was going to marry the person I loved, my excitement overshadowed my nervousness and uneasiness." Achen's lips curled up in a happy smile. He looked up and met Noren's eyes. Noren blushed.
Xia Lin felt as if a kilowatt of light was being emitted. These fathers also liked to show their affection!
However, Achen's words just now made Xia Lin start to have wild thoughts. Achen said that he loved Noren so much that his love finally overcame his nervousness. But Xia Lin thought that he was different from Achen. He should not love Karoon. He came here to complete the task so that he could be resurrected, and he would go to other worlds in the future. Most importantly, he had spent a relatively short time with Karoon, so he was... probably not in love with Karoon.
For some reason, just thinking that he wasn't in love with Karoon but was getting married to him now, Xia Lin felt self - loathing. He thought he was just so bad.
Forget it. Uncle Achen had kindly comforted him. If Achen found out that he was feeling down again, Uncle Achen would have to take the trouble to console him. In that case, he would be being too finicky.
Just as Xia Lin was trying to cheer himself up so that Achen wouldn't notice, Karoon came. There were several maids following behind him, and each maid was holding a large and delicate box.
"Xia Lin, I've brought several sets of dresses. Try them on and choose the one you like to wear at the wedding."
Xia Lin put on a smiling face and didn't let others notice his strange mood. He looked at those dresses one by one. Some were suits, and some were uniforms similar to military uniforms. Each one was very beautiful, and they felt extremely good to the touch. They must be very valuable. Fortunately, although he was "marrying" Karoon, he didn't need to wear a wedding dress like a bride. Instead, he would wear a men's suit just like Karoon.
After looking for a while, Xia Lin finally chose a dress that was a combination of a suit and a military uniform, with just the right amount of gemstone decorations on it.
"Xiaolin has the same taste as mine. I also think this one is the best." Achen admired the dress in Xia Lin's hand for a while, thinking that his son must have carefully selected them.
"Okay, since you're going to change your clothes, Noren and I will leave first."
