Healing the Black Lotus Female Supporting Character (Transmigration into a Book - ABO) - Chapter 40 The Wedding (Extra)

“Are you sure you won’t trip in those high heels?”

Bian Chengyi frowned slightly as she examined the pair of sparkling, glass-like wedding shoes.

But Hua You pouted playfully and smiled, “But they look just like Cinderella’s shoes when she met her prince! And look at the butterflies on them—they’re so pretty, don’t you think, Miss Saleslady?”

Catching the hint in Hua You’s gaze, the saleswoman chimed in right on cue, “This design is called Butterfly’s Kiss—it’s our signature piece…”

So, Bian Chengyi could only let out a helpless smile at Hua You’s twinkling eyes. “If you’re really not afraid of falling, then… okay, let’s go with these.”

“Yay! Thank you, Sister Bian!!” Hua You beamed and kissed Bian Chengyi on the cheek, her eyelashes brushing softly across her skin—just like the fabled “butterfly kiss.”

And that was just the shoes.

When it came to choosing the wedding dress, Hua You was even more overwhelmed. “They’re all so beautiful… Sister Bian, which one do you like?”

Bian Chengyi had always had excellent taste, while Hua You’s style leaned a bit on the youthful side. But Bian Chengyi always let her have her way in these things.

“Whichever one you like. Though… I do really like the one with the butterfly lace.”

“But my dad wants me to wear the hua jia gown…” Hua You looked down, brows furrowing in worry. “Maybe I could wear that one during the toasts?”

“Anything you want,” Bian Chengyi replied, doting as ever, gently patting her head. “It could even be the main dress, if you like.”

“What kind of wedding dress do you like, Sister Bian?” Hua You asked, then paused and pointed to the gown displayed in the center of the room. “I think that one’s shaped like a mermaid tail, with a beautiful fitted waistline. You’ve got such a nice figure—it’ll make you look tall and absolutely stunning!”

Her eyes sparkled with certainty, as if she’d just made the best decision ever.

Bian Chengyi followed her gaze to the dress and smiled. “Alright. Then I’ll wear that one.”

Hua You, however, was still torn about her own dress. “Then what should I wear…”

Bian Chengyi took her around the boutique, with the two saleswomen quietly trailing behind. Eventually, Bian Chengyi pointed to the dress next to the butterfly lace gown—a voluminous, princess-style design.

“I think this one would suit you.”

The saleswoman spoke up at just the right moment. “This gown is called Bows and Jewels. Take a look at the layered details on the skirt…”

The dress shimmered with delicate light. Around the hem, white bows overlapped in neat circles, with tiny pearls arranged in fireworks-like bursts, giving the gown a soft, sparkling glow.

Hua You tried it on.

Her shoulders were petite, and the puff sleeves made her look like a sweet little princess. She stood before the mirror, mesmerized, unable to move.

Bian Chengyi came up behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. “My little kitten looks beautiful.”

“Hehe.” Hua You beamed, her eyes glimmering with light. “Then… this is the one, okay?”

“Okay. I’ll go try mine on too,” Bian Chengyi said, letting go of her and heading toward the fitting room.

Hua You didn’t change out of her dress. She stayed where she was, waiting.

When Bian Chengyi stepped out, it felt like the whole world dimmed for a second. All the light seemed to focus on the flowing lines of her mermaid gown, made even more ethereal by the layer of sheer veil draped around her.

“Sister Bian… you look like a fairy,” Hua You smiled, dimples deepening. “I really, really love you.”

Bian Chengyi blinked at the sudden confession, then turned to admire herself in the mirror before pulling Hua You into her arms.

“My little kitten,” she said softly, her expression warm and radiant. “I love you too.”

After that, aside from a few small details, the final big decision was the wedding rings. That responsibility, however, had been entirely entrusted to Bian Chengyi.

On the day their college entrance exam results were released, Hua You had made a deal with her:

If we both get into Ke University, then I get to sneak a peek at the ring before the wedding.

Even though she felt confident, when the moment came, Hua You still held her breath.

Both families had gathered at Bian Chengyi’s house to check the results together. When the scores confirmed both girls were solidly within Ke University’s cutoff, Bian Chengyi’s mother jumped up in joy.

“Yes! Yes, yes!”

Meanwhile, Hua You’s father quietly wiped away tears in the corner. He never imagined he’d live to see this day.

Compared to the parents’ excitement, Hua You and Bian Chengyi were surprisingly calm. Hua You simply threw her arms around Bian Chengyi’s neck and grinned.

“So… can I see the ring now?”

Bian Chengyi nodded and led her upstairs.

When Hua You laid eyes on the diamond ring resting in its deep blue velvet box, she was momentarily lost for words. She didn’t know how to describe it—”big” felt too plain, “pretty” was far too vague.

Finally, she came up with the perfect analogy:

It looks like rock sugar. And there’s a circle of tiny rock sugars around the edge, too.

Hua You’s hands were soft and fair. When Bian Chengyi slid the ring onto her finger, she paused for a second, wondering if the weight of the diamond might be too much for such delicate fingers.

“Do you like it?” Bian Chengyi asked, a little worried Hua You might not be fond of the style. She pulled out two more rings from the drawer. “I also got you a sapphire and a ruby one, so you can swap them out for class. If you don’t like any of these, I’ll get you new ones…”

Hua You: …Honestly, are you not at all worried my classmates at Ke University will think I’m some kind of rich heiress?

But when she actually saw the rings, Hua You couldn’t move her feet. The diamonds on both were breathtakingly pure—one blue like a deep, endless sea; the other red like a drop of the most pristine blood. She couldn’t even decide which was more beautiful.

Blushing, she accepted them and said softly, “But… I don’t know what to give you. You’re always the one giving things to me.”

“I’m happy doing it,” Bian Chengyi said with a broad smile. “Giving you gifts truly makes me happy.”

She had never felt such happiness before.

And never had anything felt this meaningful.

Even the tedious pre-wedding tasks sparkled with joy—writing cards for guests, booking the venue, arranging everything down to the last detail. In the end, they chose to have the ceremony on an island and covered travel expenses for all their guests.

Hua You’s father couldn’t help feeling like his daughter was marrying into royalty. Sometimes, his worry even outweighed his joy. “Hua Hua… they’re just too wealthy. Are you sure you won’t be the one losing out in this marriage? Dad’s worried about you…”

At that moment, Hua You was admiring the ruby on her finger. Its rich color made her pale hand appear even more delicate. She gave him a soft smile.

“Don’t worry, Dad. Sister Bian is… how do I put it… a really, really good person.”

So good, in fact, that Hua You found herself looking forward to human connection for the first time.

In the past, any interaction that required patience or understanding felt exhausting. But with Bian Chengyi, the balance was just right—never too high above or too low beneath her. They were equals. Their bond wasn’t dictated by fate, power, or status, but by pure, undeniable resonance.

The day of the wedding photoshoot, the skies were bright and clear. Bian Chengyi wore a white suit with a sapphire brooch on her chest. Hua You, dressed in a lighter wedding gown, wore the sapphire ring on her hand—the one Bian Chengyi had given her. They walked hand in hand along the shore as the photographer followed, repeatedly praising how photogenic they were.

When the waves rolled in, Hua You skipped barefoot across the sand and leapt into Bian Chengyi’s arms from behind. Even though the sea breeze carried so many mingling scents, she could still easily recognize Bian Chengyi’s pheromone—the unique scent of her soul. The one that wrapped around her, the one she believed in, the one she would always be helplessly drawn to.

Bian Chengyi turned, took her hand, and together they ran along the shoreline. Hua You’s skirt fluttered behind her like a trailing ribbon.

They tossed a bouquet too—caught perfectly by Pei Fei. Hua You teased her with their two other roommates, laughing that she must be the next to marry, leaving Pei Fei blushing furiously.

During the ceremony, the officiant recited a string of traditional vows, but Hua You didn’t really hear any of it. Her eyes stayed fixed on Bian Chengyi’s. The moment their gazes met, her almond-shaped eyes blinked once—and for some reason, she felt tears welling up.

Bian Chengyi had said that Hua You was the sole meaning of her life. But wasn’t she also the one true match in Hua You’s existence?

Just as Hua You was about to wipe away her tears, Bian Chengyi took the mic and gently spoke:

“Don’t cry, my little kitten.”

“If you cry, you’ll turn into a little flower-faced kitty.”

“You once said I owed you a confession.” She smiled, brushing away a tear from Hua You’s cheek. “Now, in front of everyone here, I want to give it to you—for real.”

“How should I say this… hmm. There was a time when I believed I wasn’t someone meant for happiness. That I might feel emotions, but never own any of them.”

“But you gave me joy—and sorrow—at their most intense.”

“I’m joyful because I have you. And I’m sad because I know there’s always a chance I might lose you.”

“You are my remedy. My anchor. The echo of my soul. The only proof that I’ve ever truly lived.”

“No matter where I meet you, no matter who you are in that moment—I will fall for you without hesitation. As long as it’s you, I’ll recognize you.”

“I love you, Hua You.”

Bian Chengyi’s voice trembled slightly near the end, but she was still smiling. Hua You, on the other hand, was already sobbing uncontrollably.

“…Sister Bian…” she choked out between tears. “Aren’t you also the only proof that I ever existed in this world?”

No system.
No missions.
No chains.
No ending.

Just her.

Seagulls soared overhead. Flowers stretched endlessly around them. In this dreamlike scene, the two of them locked eyes, tears giving way to smiles.

And finally, the officiant stepped forward, raised his voice, and declared with heartfelt joy:

“Now, the bride may kiss the bride.”
