Chapter 21 Captain Huo’s Childhood Sweetheart

The sky had just broken, the morning light was just beginning to appear, and with the sound of a rooster crowing, the sleeping Wind Chasing Island was completely awakened.

Xia Mi was so nervous that she didn't sleep well all night and would wake up at the slightest noise.

She opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling, her eyes revealing her anticipation for today.

Xia Mi threw back the quilt and got out of bed to wash.

Last night she bought some cosmetics in the Space Mall and spent 120 yuan.

Women spend money on cosmetics and dressing themselves up without blinking an eye.

Xia Mi also hesitated when buying it, but then she thought that her first wedding was restricted by the times and there were many things she couldn't do, but she still had the conditions to meet the makeup requirements.

The original owner was very well pampered, and her facial features did not need much modification. She was beautiful and delicate enough, with red lips and white teeth when she smiled.

Xia Mi put on her makeup, changed into her wedding dress, and had to do her hair. She had to do all of this by herself, unlike in later generations where there were people who took care of everything.

She didn't know how to tie her hair up, so she could only braid it into a side braid and took out a big pearl flower from the bag and pinned it on her ear.

Remove the remaining pearls from the pearl flower, use a straight clip to pass through the beads, and fix them to the braid.

"Bride, are you ready?"

Jiang Shengmei's bright voice rang out outside the wall, followed by booing voices.

"Don't be awake yet, you can't sleep in on such an important day!"

"Liu Cailan, if you, the emperor, are not anxious, then the eunuchs are. In the end, it is the groom who is anxious too. Why are you so worried?"

Xia Mi opened the door amid the sound of people talking and laughing, "Sisters-in-law, come in and sit down."

The crowd, which was just noisy, suddenly stopped talking. Four or five people stared at Xia Mi without saying a word.

The wedding dress she wore was a slim-fitting suit, short and reaching just below the waist, with double rows of black buttons, and a style somewhat like Chanel.

There was still some fabric left over when she was making it, so Jiang Shengmei simply made a straight skirt.

The bright red color does not look gaudy on Xia Mi, but instead makes her skin look even whiter and more beautiful.

Xia Mi is 1.65 meters tall and wears low-heeled leather shoes. She is tall and the style of her clothes outlines her body curves, which makes people jealous.

At this moment, Xia Mi was like a walking rose, extremely beautiful.

Liu Cailan covered her mouth and hurriedly asked others, "Is this still Xia Mi? Captain Huo changed his wife overnight?"

This remark caused several people to laugh, and countless compliments came towards Xia Mi, so much that she was almost drowned.

Anyone who had attended Xia Mi's wedding banquet never said that Xia Mi was marrying above her station, Huo Jingchen.

"Xia Mi, you look so beautiful in this dress. You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen." Jiang Shengmei smiled, her eyes filled with amazement and envy.

"Clothes make the man, and Sister Shengmei's craftsmanship is better."

Others couldn't stand it anymore and started clamoring to find Jiang Shengmei to order custom-made clothes. The deserted yard suddenly became lively.

The custom on Zhuifeng Island is to bid farewell to parents before eating.

The parents of both of them were not there, so this step was skipped.

At ten o'clock, firecrackers sounded and a puff of white smoke appeared at the door. It was quickly blown away by the wind, and a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air.

The children ran into the yard and went to the house to grab candy, shouting that the groom was coming! Huo Jingchen was wearing a navy suit, a wide-brimmed hat with a white top and black brim, and two bright red spots on both sides of his collar, which was different from the red fireworks pinned on his left chest.

The man walked in, his eyes like bright stars, his gaze fixed directly on her.

The moment I saw Xia Mi, everything around me was eclipsed by her dazzling brilliance.

Before Huo Jingchen had time to take a closer look, the people around him started to make a noise.

"Captain Huo, please stop looking at it. You will have to look at it for the rest of your life. If we have a fight, you will get annoyed just by looking at it once."

"That's right, such a beautiful bride, we have to take a few more glances at her."

Huo Jingchen stood in front of him calmly, blocking the view of most people, which made people dissatisfied.

He held out his hand, "Let's go, let's eat."

This remark made everyone in the room laugh. They all laughed at Huo Jingchen, saying that he looked like a veteran, but was actually a greenhorn who couldn't even speak nicely.

"This is usually what a daughter-in-law is like. I will take good care of you, at the very least, we will be a family in the future."

"Yes, Captain Huo, you've ruined the good atmosphere by saying let's go eat!"

Xia Mi also laughed. She stretched out her hand and placed it on the man's palm, responding to him, "I didn't have breakfast. I'm really a little hungry."

Encouraged by the people around them, Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen went out side by side.

Meanwhile, at the Wind Chasing Pier.

Jing Xiaoran looked at the wooden board in fear. Below was the bottomless sea water. This scene frightened her so much that her legs went weak.

The people on the dock couldn't bear to watch and helped her onto the dock.

The discomfort from seasickness had not yet subsided, so she walked to the side, squatted and vomited continuously, feeling so uncomfortable that she burst into tears.

Jing Xiaoran felt aggrieved, as this was her first time traveling far away alone.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

We transferred to two train stations and took a train for two days and one night to finally arrive. When we arrived, Zhuifeng Island was hit by a typhoon and the ferry service was suspended.

She waited for a whole day before she boarded the boat to Wind-Chasing Island.

For Jing Xiaoran, the belief that supports all her fear and discomfort is Huo Jingchen.

She took out a silk scarf to wipe her mouth, and looked out at the island where her lover had been all these years, her brows furrowed.

She must persuade Brother Jingchen to go back. It was painful to think about living on such an island.

Just when Jing Xiaoran was looking forward to the good days after persuading Huo Jingchen to leave the island, a word from someone next to her shattered her fantasy.

"I heard that the new sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy. Captain Huo is so lucky."

"Really? After I change shifts, I must go to the cafeteria to take a good look. Why hasn't Wang Zhiqiang come yet? Could it be that the brat is deliberately delaying time?"

Another person laughed, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like you're getting married."

Jing Xiaoran suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, or was there someone else with the surname Huo on this island?

"Comrade, who is the Captain Huo you are talking about?" Jing Xiaoran had a grim expression on his face and looked at the two of them nervously.

"Comrade, you are asking this question. Our Captain Huo is our Captain Huo."

Jing Xiaoran was so concerned that she quickly changed the subject, "Is your Captain Huo called Huo Jingchen?"

The two nodded at the same time, mistakenly thinking that Jing Xiaoran was Huo Jingchen's relative, and took the initiative to show their goodwill.

"Comrade, are you here specially for our battalion commander's wedding? I can take you there!"

One of the marines stepped forward hastily, hoping to take this opportunity to see the bride.

Jing Xiaoran, who got the answer, still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that maybe there would be someone with the same name.

Jing Xiaoran couldn't wait to have someone take her to verify it.

The man who had an excuse quickly led Jing Xiaoran to the army canteen. Along the way, they both had their own thoughts and walked in a hurry.

There were three tables in total, and half of the troops were there.

The cafeteria was bustling with activity. Someone had decorated the place the night before. The doors and windows of the cafeteria were all covered with red double happiness patterns, making the atmosphere jubilant.

Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen finished their speeches, the meal started, and it was time to toast.

"Report--"

The sudden report attracted everyone's attention.

"Captain Huo, your relatives are here. They said they came to celebrate your wedding!"

I didn't write it clearly before, Huo Jingchen and Jing Xiaoran are five years apart! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
