Chapter 685 Three Aunts Offer Suggestions 3
On a sunny afternoon that seemed to be carefully carved by nature, the breeze blew gently, bringing a touch of comfort, and Beihai Park presented a leisurely and leisurely scene. On the vast lake, the sparkling appearance was like countless tiny diamonds jumping happily on the water, flashing charming brilliance. Occasionally, a few ducks would swim leisurely like elegant gentlemen, their light figures gliding across the water, leaving behind a series of ripples, which spread outward in circles, as if telling a gentle story belonging to this lake.
He Yuzhu and Chunyan were strolling on the poetic willow-shaded path. The weeping willows on both sides of the path were swaying, and the slender willow branches were like green ribbons, swaying gently in the breeze, brushing their cheeks from time to time, bringing a special feeling of intimacy. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, stretching the shadows of the two people long. The shadows were like two close friends, overlapping each other, as if silently foreshadowing the close connection of their destinies. It seemed that from this moment on, their life trajectories could no longer be separated, and they were destined to weave a beautiful future together.
As they walked, He Yuzhu suddenly stopped. At that moment, it seemed as if the rhythm of the whole world slowed down. He slowly turned his head to look at Chunyan. His eyes seemed to contain all the deep affection in the world, flashing with an unprecedented tenderness and firmness. The tenderness seemed to wrap people up completely, and the firmness seemed to be unshakable by any force. He raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. The breath seemed to carry every bit of his past with Chunyan, and seemed to condense all his emotions in this crucial moment without leaking a single bit. Then, he opened his lips slightly and spoke slowly. His voice was nervous but sincere: "Chunyan, from the time I met you until now, every moment we have been together is like a bright star, embedded in the sky of my memory. You have always been the warmest light in my heart, like a beacon that illuminates the way forward for me in the dark. Whether it is the bad weather with violent storms or the sunny and cloudless day, as long as I see your smile, that smile seems to have magical power, which can always easily dispel the haze in my heart and make my world bright in an instant. What I want to say is, are you willing... Are you willing to be my other half and walk through every spring, summer, autumn and winter with me? I long to watch the colorful flowers in spring with you, feel the scorching sun in summer, appreciate the golden color in autumn, and resist the biting cold wind in winter. I want you to accompany me and write our story in these long years. "
When Chunyan heard these affectionate words, a flower-like smile instantly blossomed on her face. That smile was like the most beautiful flower in full bloom in spring, with an intoxicating fragrance, with both the kind of sudden surprise and the shyness unique to girls. The two emotions intertwined and blended on her face, forming an extremely moving picture. She lowered her head slightly, and her hands unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes. She looked like a child who had done something wrong, and seemed to be immersed in this great happiness and was a little overwhelmed. She could clearly hear her own heartbeat, which was like a drum, hitting her chest again and again, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment, and all the sounds around her disappeared, leaving only her own violent heartbeat and the affectionate words that He Yuzhu had just said, constantly echoing in her mind.
After a long while, as if after a long period of thinking and inner struggle, she slowly raised her head, with crystal tears flashing in her eyes. Under the reflection of the sun, the tears were like bright pearls, and her eyes were full of happiness, as if she had seen the beautiful picture of the two of them being together in the future. She bit her lips gently, and then replied softly in a slightly trembling but extremely firm voice: "Yuzhu, I do. I am willing to be with you, whether in good times, full of laughter and flowers, or in adversity, facing many difficulties and setbacks, I want to hold your hand tightly, let our hearts be closely connected, and never leave each other, until forever. I believe that as long as we are together, nothing can stop us from embracing the hopeful future. I look forward to every minute and every second spent with you."
After hearing Chunyan's affectionate and firm answer, He Yuzhu seemed to be injected with endless energy. He was so excited that his body trembled slightly. The excitement almost made him jump up uncontrollably. His eyes were always fixed on Chunyan's face, as if he wanted to carve this face that he loved deeply into his heart and never forget it. Then, he couldn't wait to stretch out his hands and hold Chunyan's hands tightly. The strength was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to pass all his emotions to her through these hands. He seemed to be afraid that if he relaxed a little, all these beautiful moments would be just an illusory dream, like bubbles, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, and he would fall back into the cold reality without Chunyan's response to his love.
Chunyan also stared at He Yuzhu, and their eyes met, full of deep love and attachment to each other, and then they smiled at each other. In this smile, there was a tacit understanding of being in tune with each other, the satisfaction of finally getting a satisfactory result after all the twists and turns, and the expectation of walking hand in hand in the future. At this moment, there was no need to say anything more, the silent affection and tacit understanding was like a trickle, flowing into each other's heart continuously, filling the heart that was already full of love even more, as if it was about to overflow, making them immersed in this extremely sweet and happy atmosphere, unwilling to extricate themselves for a long time.
Afterwards, they walked hand in hand in every corner of Beihai Park, as if they were looking for a romantic place that belonged to them. Finally, they came to a dreamlike sea of flowers. The sea of flowers was simply a painting carefully drawn by nature with the most gorgeous colors. The colorful flowers competed with each other, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, one by one, in clusters, gently swaying in the breeze, exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance, as if they were sending the best wishes for their love. They carefully searched in this sea of flowers, wanting to find the most beautiful place, a place that carried their current joy and vision for the future.
Soon, they chose a place surrounded by flowers, as if it was a romantic stage surrounded by flowers. On this "stage" that belonged only to the two of them, they simply held a "ceremony" witnessed by each other. There were no gorgeous and expensive decorations, no noisy and bustling guests, but only their two hearts that were closely attached to each other. In this quiet and beautiful atmosphere, they got closer and closer to each other. They stood there, with only each other's figures in their eyes, as if the whole world only had each other, and their infinite and beautiful vision of the future became clearer and more determined at this moment.
Chunyan bent down slightly, with a smile on her face, and gently picked a wild flower from the roadside. Although the wild flower was not as delicate and beautiful as the flowers that were carefully cultivated by humans, and the petals were not neat and tidy, it had a different kind of natural beauty, exuding a fresh and refined charm. She walked carefully to He Yuzhu, her eyes full of tenderness, and gently pinned the wild flower on He Yuzhu's lapel. Her fingers moved gently and delicately, as if she was treating an extremely precious treasure. Then, she raised her head, with expectation in her eyes, and whispered: "This is our flower of love. Although it is ordinary, it carries our most sincere feelings at the moment. I hope it can witness our love. No matter how time passes, no matter how the wind and rain invade, it will always be as bright as before, just like our love for each other, which will never fade and will always maintain this original intention and purity."
He Yuzhu was moved when he heard Chunyan's words. He looked at the elegant wild flower on his lapel, as if he saw the picture of their future life full of love unfolding slowly before his eyes. He could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart. He stretched out his arms and hugged Chunyan affectionately, holding her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body and make her unable to leave his arms. He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Chunyan's ear, and whispered in a voice so gentle that it could squeeze water out of it, "I will use my whole life to protect this innocence and beauty. I will protect you like the most precious treasure, not letting you get hurt in the slightest, making you happy every day and becoming the happiest woman in the world. I will accompany you through every spring, summer, autumn and winter, and experience the ups and downs of life together. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will stand in front of you and protect you from the wind and rain, because you are the most important person in my life, and you are the baby I want to cherish with all my love."
After returning from Beihai Park, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Chunyan became stronger, just like steel that has been tempered a thousand times. They seemed to have a tacit understanding and began to plan their future life together. They would imagine together the warmth of their future home and how to decorate it, whether to place some green plants full of life or hang up photos that recorded their beautiful moments;
Imagine that after get off work every day, the two of you will be busy in the kitchen together, cooking delicious dishes full of love for each other, and then sitting at the dining table, enjoying the food while sharing the interesting things of the day.
They also attach great importance to the harmony of the big family, thinking about how to better care for both parents and how to get along with relatives, so that the whole big family is full of laughter and love. These beautiful ideas have become their common goals. They are looking forward to the future and moving forward step by step towards the direction of love. Chunyan's parents, in the process of getting along with He Yuzhu, gradually saw his changes and his sincere heart for Chunyan.
At the beginning, they were still hesitant about He Yuzhu. After all, it was a major event concerning their daughter's lifelong happiness. But as time went on, He Yuzhu's every move and every word made them put aside their worries. From the initial hesitation to the final approval, they knew that their daughter's choice was correct, and the man in front of them was the one who could really bring happiness to their daughter.
The news soon spread back to the courtyard. For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard, but more of it was blessings to He Yuzhu and Chunyan.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai, who is usually fair and selfless, smiled with satisfaction. He stroked his beard and said to the people around him: "Although Yuzhu was a bit muddleheaded before, he has changed a lot since he got together with Chunyan. Looking at his current appearance, I know that he has really found his destiny."
Although the second uncle Liu Haizhong usually likes to put on airs, he lowered his posture at this moment and nodded in praise: "Yes, Yuzhu is now on the right track. Chunyan is a good girl, and it is fate that the two of them can be together. Our courtyard will have another harmonious couple."
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was holding an account book, and while doing the accounting, he smiled and said, "Hey, this is great, our courtyard is going to be lively again. Yuzhu and Chunyan are getting married, and we will definitely have to set up a few tables for the banquet. We must have a good time then."
The aunties were even more attentive. One of them, Qin Huairu, took Chunyan's hand and said affectionately, "Chunyan, you've finally found a good home. I've watched Yuzhu grow up since he was a child. Although he can be a little naughty sometimes, he has a kind heart. You must live a good life after you get married and give us a big fat boy as soon as possible."
The second aunt smiled as she knitted a sweater, "That's right, Qin Huairu is right. You two have to work harder, our courtyard hasn't had a new addition for a long time."
The third aunt was busy preparing wedding candies and cigarettes, muttering, "Oh, this is going to be a busy time. But it's worth it. Yuzhu and Chunyan's marriage is a big happy event for our courtyard."
While the neighbors in the courtyard sent their blessings, He Yuzhu and Chunyan also began to prepare for the wedding. Although they did not want to be too extravagant, they also did not want the wedding to be too simple. So they decided to hold a simple and warm wedding in the courtyard and invite relatives, friends and neighbors to witness their happy moment.
