Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 668: 706

"Michelle, I’m giving you a tough task here, you’ll be my bridesmaid tomorrow."

Once everyone settled into a spacious private room, Hu Shuzhe grabbed Michelle’s hand and said with a smile.

Michelle was immediately surprised and responded, "Shuzhe, are you serious?"

Hu Shuzhe’s delicate face turned stern, "What’s the matter, too reluctant to do an old classmate a favor?"

Michelle said hesitantly, "It’s not that I don’t want to, but isn’t this too sudden? You didn’t even give me a heads up, I’m totally unprepared."

"No worries, we’ll have a rehearsal tonight for tomorrow’s wedding."

"But, I haven’t even prepared any clothes."

"That’s even less of a problem, we’ll go shopping right after this, nowadays, as long as you have money, is there anything you can’t do?" as she said this, Hu Shuzhe felt quite proud of herself. Now a wealthy tai-tai with assets worth millions, she was no longer like the other classmates who were still striving in their careers. And though her husband was not much to look at, it didn’t matter to her anymore.

"Alright then, you really know how to keep me busy." Michelle still agreed with a smile, after all, it was a joyous occasion of a classmate’s wedding – she didn’t have a reason not to help when asked.

"That’s great, I knew you’d say yes, Michelle. But don’t you dare upstage me by looking too stunning; that’s my spotlight to steal."

Michelle laughed, "No matter what I do, I couldn’t possibly overshadow the bride."

Seeing Michelle becoming Hu Shuzhe’s bridesmaid, Sun Lii felt even more disgruntled, but since the bride hadn’t asked her, she couldn’t very well be insisting, lest she seem even less dignified.

"Shuzhe, who did you get as your emcee?" another girl chimed in with a question.

Hu Shuzhe quickly replied, "Who else but Mile City’s most famous Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao."

The girl said enviously, "I guessed as much, you’re the kind of rich folks who could afford to hire them."

Hu Shuzhe chuckled, "That’s nothing. Tomorrow there will be an even more heavyweight guest that will surprise you all."

"Who is this heavyweight guest?" all the girls asked eagerly.

Hu Shuzhe winked, "I can only give you a hint; she’s a big star."

"Wow, a star as well? Male or female?"

"Female."

"Who is it?"

Feeling quite pleased with herself, Hu Shuzhe teased, "Now, I can’t tell you that, or where would the surprise be?"

Li Yifei was uninterested. Big stars didn’t mean much to him, given even Ning Xin’er, a major star, had given birth to his child and the allure of celebrities never really mattered to him.

Yet, when it came to Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao’s potential attendance, Li Yifei smiled. After meeting them on the cruise, he hadn’t seen them since, and now having a more-than-friendly relationship, Li Yifei already saw them as his own people.

Thinking of them, he couldn’t help but recall the several times they were together, especially in bed. These two women truly gave Li Yifei great pleasure as they did everything with the aim of pleasing him. To Li Yifei, it felt almost regal, a sensation he never quite got with Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi.

There was some time left before dinner, and as Michelle was whisked away by Hu Shuzhe to shop for a dress, Li Yifei, not too familiar with the other classmates, accompanied them, fulfilling his duty as a good boyfriend.

The bride would wear a wedding gown on her big day, and Michelle, the bridesmaid, was also to wear a gown, though nothing as lavish as Hu Shuzhe’s bridal ensemble.

"You and your boyfriend go try on the dress, I’m going to arrange some things with my husband," Hu Shuzhe dragged Michelle into the changing room, pushing Li Yifei in after them.

Since Michelle had brought Li Yifei, her boyfriend, it suggested a significant relationship between them. Nowadays, what couple doesn’t have a physical relationship? So, helping Michelle in changing her clothes was nothing out of the ordinary for boyfriend Li Yifei.

Before leaving, Hu Shuzhe urged them, "Hurry up, we’re on a tight schedule."

Li Yifei and Michelle stood in the changing room, eyeing each other. Although not cramped, changing into a wedding gown with practically nothing on underneath was almost like baring it all in front of each other.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "You go ahead and change, I’ll turn around."

Michelle hummed in acknowledgment, her face flushed red, but under the circumstances, she really couldn’t ask Li Yifei to leave. Donning a wedding dress wasn’t like slipping into an everyday outfit; without someone’s assistance, it would be quite a challenge.

Biting her lip, Michelle began to undress herself. Li Yifei stood there, hearing the rustling of her clothes, his own thoughts in disarray, even feeling the urge to turn around and sneak a peek.

After a moment, Michelle called from behind, "Brother Li, can you help me? I can’t manage it on my own."

Li Yifei had no choice but to turn around and saw Michelle with her back to him, the wedding dress half on, the back open, with her arms folded in front, apparently unable to zip up the back.

Li Yifei moved behind Michelle, and looking at her exposed back, he found himself breathing more rapidly. Her skin, usually so pale, had taken on a rosy hue, looking irresistibly enticing.

"Hurry up," Michelle urged in a soft voice, "You’ve seen everything there is to see on the island; what’s there left to look at now?"

Li Yifei gave a cough, genuinely embarrassed that Michelle had brought up that incident, hastily pulling up the open part of her dress and then pulling up the zipper, realizing that she likely wasn’t wearing a bra underneath.

After adjusting her dress, Michelle turned around, her face blushing, and asked, "Brother Li, do you think it looks good on me?"

In a pristine white wedding gown with bare shoulders and a pearl necklace around her neck, Michelle looked like a fairy untouched by the mortal world, absolutely breathtaking.

"Does it look good?" Michelle stood in front of Li Yifei, saw the enraptured look in his eyes, and felt an indescribable sweetness inside. She asked again.

Li Yifei nodded continuously, saying, "Beautiful, truly beautiful."

"Really?" Michelle gazed into Li Yifei’s eyes, her look fiery.

"Really!" Li Yifei nodded again, for at that moment, he couldn’t utter a lie.

"How wonderful it would be if I could actually walk down the aisle with Brother Li in this wedding dress," Michelle whispered.

Now Li Yifei was at a loss. Saying yes was not an option, but to refuse would be heartwrenching.

Michelle placed her hands on Li Yifei’s shoulders, bit her lip, and said, "Brother Li, I’m just joking." But then, suddenly, she tiptoed up and pressed her lips to Li Yifei’s.

Li Yifei had not anticipated this at all. Even though Michelle could sometimes be courageous, she was always careful about physical contact. Why the bold move all of a sudden?

"Brother Li, let me kiss you again in this splendid gown. Even if I cannot be with you, my life will have no regrets," Michelle said as Li Yifei remained unresponsive, her lips parting slightly after a brief kiss, and she closed her eyes to whisper softly.

Looking at Michelle’s pleading gaze, Li Yifei couldn’t find the words to refuse. He smiled faintly, tightened his arms around her waist, and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.

"Mhm!" A captivating moan escaped Michelle’s lips as she clung tightly to Li Yifei’s neck, her mouth slightly open.

When they had been in danger at sea, Michelle had already stolen a secret kiss from Li Yifei underwater. At that time, facing uncertainty of life and death, she had the thought of fulfilling a last wish before dying, and the kiss carried a sense of tragic beauty. But this time, it was a genuine kiss, truly savoring the sweetness of kissing the one she loved.

Kissing, after the initial awkwardness of the first time, becomes much easier to enjoy. This was Michelle’s second kiss with Li Yifei, so it didn’t feel clumsy. When you truly love someone, sharing a kiss is bliss.

Their lips stayed locked, oblivious to time, until a knock on the door made Michelle release Li Yifei like a startled rabbit, her face as red as the evening sky. That blush wasn’t just from the emotional kiss, but also from a sudden embarrassment of being caught.

"Hey, Michelle, you’re taking forever. You’re not up to something in there, are you?" Hu Shuzhe’s voice came from the outside.

"No, no, I’ll be ready in a moment," Michelle hurriedly responded.

"Hurry up, we’re on a tight schedule."

"I’m coming out now," Michelle replied hastily, straightening her clothes. Although Li Yifei’s hands hadn’t slipped inside her clothing, their tight embrace had crumpled the front somewhat.

Li Yifei, with a smile, helped Michelle tidy her dress, but Michelle just stood still, watching Li Yifei attentively as he adjusted her gown.

"All set, no problems. Let’s go outside," said Li Yifei, after he finished fixing Michelle’s dress, giving her lips a gentle peck.

Michelle looked at Li Yifei in astonishment; while the passionate kiss had been her request, this time Li Yifei had taken the initiative. Although it was but a light kiss, it seemed to carry much more significance than the previous deep one.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.

"No... nothing," Michelle stammered, her face turning red. She reached out and linked her arm with Li Yifei’s. At that moment, her heart was filled with sweetness. Li Yifei’s light kiss had intoxicated her, and right then, she felt that Li Yifei was truly her boyfriend, without any pretense.
