Chapter 743: Parrots Delivering Rings

Feeling Fang Ye's firm grip in return, Lan Li's nervousness began to dissipate, realizing she had someone she could rely on for life by her side.

Her previously stiff steps became more natural; she had almost forgotten how to walk earlier.

The host animatedly moved through the ceremony stages.

"...Life is long, and the future may hold many storms and challenges, but as long as there is love in your hearts, you will always find happiness wherever you go.

Sir, do you take this lady beside you as your wife, to love and cherish in poverty and in wealth, till death do you part?"

Fang Ye: "I do."

The host then asked Lan Li the same question, to which she responded: "I do!"

"Alright, now let's have the bride and groom exchange rings!"

Fang Ye smiled slightly, raised his hand, and pointed to the sky.

He shouted in his mind, "Ring, come!"

Of course, the shout was only in his mind; this gesture was a signal he had arranged with the parrots.

The crowd was puzzled, not knowing why Fang Ye raised his hand. On the stage, Goldie Martin, perched on He Yifei's shoulder, saw the gesture and took off, flapping its wings.

In the cherry blossom forest, a group of parrots had been lying in wait!

Curiously looking around, they were not used to being outside the bird pavilion.

However, Goldie Zhi kept them in check.

Goldie Martin flew over excitedly, calling out, "Move, move, get ready to move!"

Goldie Zhi cawed twice, and the other parrots, already eager, followed their leader, flying out from the cherry blossom forest in a colorful swarm!

A guest noticed something unusual and looked up, exclaiming, "Whoa, what's that!"

Other guests also looked up, eyes wide, shouting, "Amazing! Oh my gosh!"

"Is that a rainbow?"

"No, it's a parrot rain! So beautiful!"

In the sky, as blue as a lake, dozens of parrots appeared.

These parrots varied in size, from large red-and-green macaws to smaller rainbow lorikeets.

The midday sun shone on their vibrant feathers, reflecting rainbow-like colors.

The parrots flew towards the stage in the open area, circling around it.

Seeing the parrots fly over, Fang Ye breathed a sigh of relief!

Standing there with his arm raised had felt pretty silly.

But with the parrots' cooperation, it now looked incredibly cool!

It was like when a subway arrives, and with a cool gesture, the doors open, and a crowd of passengers follows, as if ready to take over some territory under his lead.

Or when an elevator door opens, and with a slow hand movement, it feels like he's using magic to open it.

At this moment, Fang Ye's action brought a shock and awe to the guests, akin to him casting a fireball spell!

Seeing the butterflies flying in a dreamlike scene, they kept exclaiming, "Whoa! Whoa!"

Quick-witted guests hurriedly took out their phones to snap pictures!

Lan Li, unaware of this part of the ceremony, was so surprised that she covered her mouth, her eyes misty with tears, almost crying with excitement.

Goldie Zhi slowly descended, landing on Fang Ye's hand.

With a flick of its beak, the ring dropped into his palm.

Seeing Fang Ye pick up the ring, He Yifei whistled.

Goldie Zhi and the others turned around and flew back to the stage, landing around He Yifei.

Nearby guests turned their heads curiously, even making "tsk tsk" sounds, trying to lure a parrot over.

Watching the parrots was more interesting than the ring exchange on stage.

Some parrots landed on tables, helping themselves to sunflower seeds and peanuts.

He Yifei quickly said, "Hey, peanuts are fine, but not the sunflower seeds. These are five-spice; you can't eat them."

He pushed the little parrots off the plate, moved the sunflower seeds to another table, and took out a pile of walnuts as a reward.

Goldie Zhi cawed twice, calling everyone over for their reward.

After they had eaten enough and watched for a while, the keepers led them back.

On stage, Fang Ye, holding the ring, softly asked Lan Li, "How do you like this surprise? I rehearsed with Goldie Martin and the others many times."

Lan Li couldn't help but lightly punch Fang Ye's chest twice, wiping away her tears!

Fang Ye slowly placed the ring on her finger.

The host, who had been given a heads-up, was still in awe, feeling like he was dreaming.

Snapping out of it, he said, "What an incredible scene. Bride, you must cherish this ring; it carries the groom's heartfelt blessings."

Lan Li said, "This is the best gift I've ever received."

She then placed the ring on Fang Ye's finger.

Next came the three bows: to heaven and earth, to their parents, and to each other.

Both sets of parents were very emotional. Lan Li's father was almost too choked up to speak, simply asking Fang Ye to take good care of Lan Li. Fang Ye's mother was also wiping away tears, and his father thoughtfully handed her some tissues.

Influenced by the atmosphere, Lan Li also became a teary mess.

At the host's invitation, Lan Li's grandfather stepped onto the stage and gave a heartfelt speech.

"I've been married for 50 years, and over the years, I've realized that happiness in life is equally divided between marriage and career. Family is a haven, and marriage requires mutual tolerance. Both spouses have flaws, like stars in the sky, but love and loyalty to each other are like the sun. Once the sun appears, the stars disappear."

The guests, moved by his wise words, applauded vigorously!

"Grandpa spoke so well!"

With the ceremony nearly complete, it was time for the lively banquet.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and drinks, filled with joy.

The zoo's restaurant showcased its best dishes today, with crispy grilled steak, roasted meats, sweet bamboo shoot soup, and adorable panda curry, making everyone's mouths water.

Fang Ye and Lan Li toasted the guests with homemade rice wine.

The rice wine, made from spiritual rice, had a unique and lingering flavor, which the guests loved!

They even asked where to buy it, wanting to take some home.

For those who preferred, there was also white wine and red wine available.

The rice wine was like a beverage, and even after drinking a lot, no one felt drunk.

Lan Li's face had a slight blush, possibly from the teasing guests, who kept asking when they would have a little druid.
