Chapter 140: First Bow to Heaven and Earth, Second Bow to Parents
After returning to Zhou Residence Villa.
Zhou Mengyao, who had just experienced life and death, looked very tired. Lin Lang held Zhou Mengyao's shoulder as they stepped into the Zhou Residence.
The maid, Mei Yi, didn't dare to ask more questions and served Zhou Mengyao as she changed into slippers.
Lin Lang instructed, "Mei Yi, go prepare a bath for Miss and get her a clean set of pajamas."
"Okay, Mr. Lin!" The maid, Mei Yi, hurried to follow the instructions.
Zhou Mengyao nestled in Lin Lang's arms and said dejectedly, "I'm afraid of having nightmares tonight, Lin Lang. Can you sleep with me?"
Lin Lang gently stroked Zhou Mengyao's fragrant shoulder and politely refused, "Although I really want to sleep with you, this is the Zhou Residence, and Master and Master's Wife are here. It's not appropriate for me to sleep in your room."
Zhou Mengyao hugged Lin Lang tightly and said with tender affection, "Lin Lang, I love you!"
Lin Lang kissed Zhou Mengyao's forehead and replied affectionately, "Mengyao, I fell in love with you the day you became my high school deskmate!"
"After all these years, the matchmaker finally tied a red thread between us."
Zhou Mengyao said emotionally, "Lin Lang, promise me you'll never leave me, okay?"
Lin Lang gently stroked Zhou Mengyao's exquisite little face and replied softly, "I promise you, we will never be separated. I will always love you very, very much!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mengyao's eyes reddened. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Lin Lang. Her kiss was full of deep affection, so passionate and gentle.
After a deeply affectionate kiss.
Lin Lang said dotingly, "Be good! Go take a hot bath and sleep! You look especially tired, and it makes my heart ache!"
"Mhm."
Zhou Mengyao nodded obediently and said, "Goodnight, my dear!"
It was the first time Zhou Mengyao called him "my dear," and Lin Lang felt overjoyed. He replied with a smile, "Goodnight, Baby!"
It was the first time Lin Lang called her "Baby," and Zhou Mengyao stuck out her tongue shyly and smiled. She looked playful and cute, and she went back to her room to take a bath with a smile.
Master Zhou Zhongdang and Master's Wife Zhuang Jingxue returned to the Zhou Residence shortly after.
A somewhat tired Lin Lang greeted Master and Master's Wife and returned to his own room to take a bath and sleep.
As mentioned earlier, Master Zhou Zhongdang had instructed the servants to specially clean out a room in the Zhou Residence Villa as a dedicated room for his disciple, Lin Lang.
After taking a bath.
Although it was already late at night, Lin Lang lay spread-eagled on the soft large bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Lin Lang lay on the bed and looked at his unread text messages.
Gu Keqing: 【Lunch or a movie tomorrow? You choose?!】
Gu Keqing: 【Forget it, I'll choose for you!】
Gu Keqing: 【My dear, I bought two movie tickets for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." I heard this movie is a big production and looks especially good! Shanghai Peace Cinema, the show starts at 12:10 PM tomorrow ~】
Marry Yang: 【You've disappeared on me again these past two days, Xiao Pa Cai, I miss you so much! How about watching a movie with me tomorrow afternoon?】
Marry Yang: 【I heard the martial arts movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," starring Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Ziyi, is especially good. My dear, will you go see it with me?】
Marry Yang: 【Xiao Pa Cai, don't pretend you don't see this. I've already bought tickets for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." I'll be waiting for you at the Grand Cinema at 2 PM tomorrow afternoon!】
Ma Xiaofei: 【The finished QQ endorsement photos for Zhou Mengyao have all been sorted out. My great pianist, how are you going to thank me?!】
Ma Xiaofei: 【I bought two tickets for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." See you at Cathay Cinema at 6:30 PM tomorrow night.】
Chu Yiren: 【My dear, my schedule is full tomorrow. I want you to accompany me to a movie, but it can only be a late-night show.】
Chu Yiren: 【I'm really looking forward to our first movie together. How about watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the Chu Residence Villa's private cinema tomorrow night? You guys like martial arts movies, right?】
"Uh..."
"No way?"
"It seems being too popular with women is also a kind of trouble!"
After reading the unread text messages, Lin Lang wiped away his cold sweat, his face full of melancholy.
Because he had to accompany four women to watch "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" four times at different times tomorrow, it made Lin Lang's head hurt.
Fortunately, the mother of his neighbor, Li Moli, was hospitalized after a kidney transplant; otherwise, with another showing of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Lin Lang would have vomited from watching movies.
Originally, Lin Lang had planned to take Zhou Mengyao on a movie date tomorrow morning.
Now, Lin Lang was very worried that when they arrived at the cinema tomorrow morning, Zhou Mengyao would also choose to watch "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which would truly make Lin Lang sick of it.
The most crucial thing was that Lin Lang also had to pretend it was his first time watching the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which put some pressure on him.
It seemed that from now on, watching a newly released movie several times with the beautiful Older Sisters would become a normal occurrence for Lin Lang.
Lin Lang locked his phone in frustration.
Because he was worried that Zhou Mengyao, having just experienced the kidnapping, might have nightmares after falling asleep, Lin Lang decided to use his 【Dreamwalking Ability】 to enter Zhou Mengyao's dream and help her have a peaceful night's sleep.
Ding! Omnipotent Entry System notification: "Zhou Mengyao is currently in deep sleep, can enter dream!"
So, Lin Lang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, pinched the second joint of his left middle finger with his right thumb and index finger, focused his consciousness, and silently repeated Zhou Mengyao's name in his mind.
When he repeated it for the third time, Lin Lang's conscious spirit body "whooshed" and successfully entered Zhou Mengyao's dream.
Lin Lang gently stepped into Zhou Mengyao's dream, only to see an ancient and charming scene unfold before his eyes.
Red lanterns hung high, golden "囍" (double happiness) characters shone brightly, drums and gongs blared, firecrackers popped, creating a festive and harmonious atmosphere.
Lin Lang quickly looked at the clothes he was wearing in Zhou Mengyao's dream; it was a dragon and phoenix gown from a Chinese wedding, indicating this was Zhou Mengyao's aspiration in her heart.
It turned out that Zhou Mengyao was having a grand Chinese wedding with Lin Lang in her dream.
In the dream, Zhou Mengyao was wearing a magnificent ancient phoenix gown, a phoenix crown and embroidered cape, and a festive red veil covering her head.
Although her face was not visible, her appearance as a bride was dignified and graceful, without losing nobility and elegance, giving a hazy and mysterious beauty.
In the warm and festive atmosphere, the wedding ceremony officially began.
The master of ceremonies solemnly shouted, "The bride and groom are here!"
"Welcome the new son-in-law and new daughter-in-law to the main hall for the three bows ceremony!"
"To establish the new marriage!"

Lin Lang, wearing the festive dragon and phoenix gown, and Zhou Mengyao, wearing the festive phoenix gown and covered with a red veil, each holding a red cloth, slowly walked into the main hall. It seemed that every step they took was a step of joy and romance.
"The newlyweds are here!"
"Parents are seated high, guests are lined up on both sides."
Zhou Mengyao's parents sat high and exchanged smiles.
Zhou Zhongdang was overjoyed to see his beloved disciple Lin Lang marrying his daughter Zhou Mengyao, making their relationship even closer.
Zhuang Jingxue also had a joyful smile on her face because her daughter was getting married.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
"With Heaven and Earth as witnesses, a happy union."
"Bow!"
The groom, Lin Lang, unable to hide his happiness, deeply bowed to Heaven and Earth with the bride, Zhou Mengyao, expressing respect and gratitude to the divine beings.
"Ceremony!"
"Second bow to the parents."
"Two families forever good, with many descendants."
"Bow!"
The groom, Lin Lang, and the bride, Zhou Mengyao, covered with a red veil, each holding a red cloth, bowed to Master Zhou Zhongdang and Master's Wife Zhuang Jingxue.
Every action was full of solemnity and sacredness.
Zhou Zhongdang and Zhuang Jingxue sat high on the platform, their eyes filled with blessings and affection for the newlyweds. Looking at this perfect match of young people, their hearts were full of joy.
"Ceremony!"
"Third bow!"
"Couple's bow."
"Harmonious as zithers and flutes, hand in hand for a hundred years."
The groom, Lin Lang, and Zhou Mengyao, covered with a red veil, stood facing each other. Lin Lang gazed deeply at the bride, Zhou Mengyao, and then the two slowly bent down in a bow.
At this moment, their hearts were tightly connected, and their vows were eternal and unchanging.
"Ceremony complete!"
"Send to the bridal chamber!"
After completing all the ceremonies, the groom, Lin Lang, and the bride, Zhou Mengyao, covered with a red veil, holding the red cloth, were escorted by the crowd into a beautifully decorated bridal chamber.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles burned brightly, their flickering light illuminating the entire room like a dreamlike wonderland.
Red satin curtains danced gently in the wind, and the bed was covered with items symbolizing happiness and fulfillment, such as red dates, peanuts, and longans. A faint fragrance filled the air, making one feel relaxed and happy.
The groom, Lin Lang, and the bride, Zhou Mengyao, sat on the wedding bed.
Zhou Mengyao, covered with a red veil, sat on the wedding bed shyly fiddling with her fingers. Seeing this, Lin Lang couldn't help but feel a surge of tenderness and sweetness in his heart.
Lin Lang, feeling overjoyed, felt as if this moment was not a dream, and they had truly become husband and wife.
In this romantic and cozy atmosphere.
Lin Lang, with an excited heart, couldn't wait to lift Zhou Mengyao's red veil.
"Holy crap!"
"What's going on?"
The moment the red veil was lifted, Lin Lang was startled.
Lin Lang was shocked to find that the bride who appeared before his eyes was not the beautiful Zhou Mengyao, but the dead perverted female fan, Yao Yumeng.
Yao Yumeng's face was as pale as paper, extremely hideous and terrifying. There was no trace of color on her face, her dark circles were streaked with blood, her empty and lifeless eyes were horrifying, and you couldn't even see her pupils, like she had cataracts.
Even more terrifying was that as soon as Lin Lang lifted the bride's red veil, the ghost-like hellish bride, Yao Yumeng, opened a gaping maw and fiercely pounced on Lin Lang on the wedding bed.
"Ugh..."
Lin Lang was immediately startled by this sudden terrifying scene and broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Lang instinctively wanted to escape from Zhou Mengyao's dream, but his body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, unable to move, just like being ghost-pressed.
Yao Yumeng's eerie and terrifying fangs viciously bit towards Lin Lang's neck.
The fear in Lin Lang's heart grew stronger and stronger. He struggled with all his might and finally broke free from the restraints in an instant, "whooshing" out of Zhou Mengyao's dream.
Ghost Bride
Back in the real world, Lin Lang panted heavily with lingering fear, sweat constantly dripping from his forehead.
"Holy motherfucker!"
"I was almost scared to death!"
Lin Lang wiped away his cold sweat, recalling the terrifying scene just now, still feeling a lingering fear. His clothes were soaked with sweat, making his bath pointless.
"How could this happen?"
"Why did this damned perverted female fan, Yao Yumeng, appear in Mengyao's dream?" Lin Lang muttered to himself, frowning tightly.
Ding! Omnipotent Entry System notification: "Zhou Mengyao has a high fever after being overly frightened during the kidnapping. Her current fever temperature is 39.8℃ and she needs to take antipyretic medication immediately."
It turned out that Zhou Mengyao was delirious from the fever, which was why the damned perverted female fan, Yao Yumeng, appeared in Zhou Mengyao's dream.
Upon hearing that Zhou Mengyao was frightened and had a fever, and that the fever was approaching 40℃, Lin Lang quickly opened the door and rushed to Zhou Mengyao's room in a panic.
