They walked out of that gate, with bright daylight shining behind them, dazzlingly white.

Amidst dazzling lights and the spotlight, they walked hand in hand down the steps, one after another, unhurried and calm, simply following each other's rhythm.

The rings on their clasped hands were still clearly visible, and even the swaying arc of the necklace hidden under their clothes was quite obvious.

They stood on high ground, in a completely conspicuous position, so that everyone's eyes were drawn to them.

They had already prepared their vows, but Jiang Xu added at the end, "I am willing to make a lifelong commitment."

Gu Li was stunned by the words "I do". When the microphone was handed to him, he recited the vow with practiced ease. Finally, he looked at Jiang Xu and said his last words, "I do."

This was a hint, but also a grand declaration. Flashes of light recorded everything, and white light shone continuously, flashing with a blinding brilliance.

They are the ones who should stand in the light, be captured, be repeatedly mentioned, but never be defined.

They gazed at each other in the light; the photo still showed a red-haired youth and a black-haired youth, a scene reminiscent of the one captured long ago when they left the classroom.

That time, however, it was only their backs; the wind had intertwined their hair.

At this moment, they gazed intently at each other, their fates intertwined.

The next photograph will appear in the future, at some point in their future, at some moment.

(The End)
