[Ankyo University Forum > General Discussion Section] Title: [Breaking News] Does anyone understand the significance of this couple getting married right after graduation? [Screaming][Screaming][Screaming]

[Topic: I couldn't hold back any longer, so I'm just starting this thread to scream a little late at night. Please ignore me.]

[1L: OP, give me a spot, I want one too! [screaming][screaming][screaming]]

[2L: It's only human nature [screaming]]

...

[16L: What are you all screaming about? What does "getting married right after graduation" mean? Which celebrity couple got married?]

【17L: ? ? ? 】

【18L: ? ? ? 】

[To the person on the 16th floor at 19: What is your purpose in coming to Anhui University?]

[20L: Which pair? That's hilarious! I can't believe I'm still hearing this question in the 21st century.]

[21L: @Administrator, we've caught someone using a VPN to access our school forum. I suspect they're a spy from the other forum. Please check their IP address immediately.]

[22L: Let me clarify for the 16th floor, they're probably not from next door. The neighbors all know about this couple's marriage.]

[23L: @22L, how do you know the neighbors all know?]

[22L replied to 23L: Because I'm the neighbor next door [rose]]

[25L: ...]

...

[45L: How did this thread go off-topic? Weren't we supposed to be talking about this couple's wedding? Why are we suddenly catching spies?]

[46L: I'll correct this thread—I heard a lot of invitations were sent out, but I haven't seen anyone posting them. Are there any forum members who received invitations? Could you post one so I can see?]

[47L: Probably not. If nothing unexpected happens, the deity who received the invitation should be on a plane to Berlin right now [cracked]]

[48L: With so many flights to Berlin, surely some arrive late? Maybe they're browsing the forums too?]

[49L: Sister on the 48th floor, you don't think these goddesses are going to a local wedding like us, each going their own way and meeting at the wedding hotel, right? [bitter]]

[48L replied to 49L: Are tickets purchased together?]

[51L replied to 48L: The flight was booked in advance, and we flew on the Ji and Gu families' private jets [smile]]

[48L: Sorry to bother you, goodbye [clasped hands]]

[53L: According to rumors, the wedding venue is apparently in a forest in Berlin, which is also a private, closed area.]

[54L: Why in a forest? There are so many castles in Germany, I thought it would be inside a castle.]

[55L: I heard that JT's birth chart indicates a preference for wood, so GL chose this location.]

[56L: Senior Ji Tong likes wood? That's great, it's the only element with "life" in the Five Elements.]

[57L: So they just named him outright? Since they've laid their cards on the table, I'm not pretending anymore! Congratulations to Senior Ji Tong and Senior Gu Lin on their marriage!]

[58L: Hahaha, if you're saying Ji Tong likes wood, then it's quite fate. Someone who likes wood just happened to find someone born in Jiangcheng in the south. Gu Lin's "Lin" is a homophone for "forest," so it's two woods, tsk tsk tsk tsk, you think about it carefully.]

[88L: Why did I choose journalism? If I had chosen computer science, I might be on a private jet flying to Berlin right now. I heard that many computer science graduates from the same year as Ji Tong and Gu Lin received invitations.]

[89L: Your portrayal of Ji Tong & Gu Lin is brilliant]

[103L: Why haven't any photos from the event surfaced? When did Ji Tong and Gu Lin become so distant? They used to hold hands without even carrying each other on their backs in school, but now that they're married, they're hiding it from us family. [pointing emoji]]

[105L: After all, it's a wedding, and it's abroad, so it's normal to keep it low-key. Although Gu Lin has started a company, Ji Tong is coming back to do his master's degree. Take my advice, just go straight to them and ask for wedding candy.]

[106L: Speaking of which, I have to ask, did Gu Lin really start a company? Is he really going to let Ji Tong pursue his master's degree alone? Is he really willing to do that?]

[107L: There's nothing I can do. My wife is a pampered young master who never lifts a finger. It takes a lot of money to take good care of her. [shrug]]

[108L: Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter]

[107L replied to 108L: Just kidding. I heard from a friend in the computer science department that Gu Lin is working first because he plans to shift the focus of his family's several business lines to Anjing in the next few years. But ultimately, he still has to support his wife. [smoking]]

[115L: Seriously, does it make a difference whether these two are studying or working? I remember Gu Lin stopped staying on campus much starting from the first semester of his senior year, but I would see his car driving through the road in front of the school towards Peninsula every day. Once, I even saw him driving to Donglin Road to buy rice noodle rolls for Ji Tong. You ask how I know he bought them for Ji Tong? Because he was on the phone when he bought them, saying things like "I know," "Didn't you say you wanted to eat rice noodle rolls last night?" and "It's cold, don't go downstairs, I'll be right back" [crack]. They all sounded normal, right? There weren't any "darling" or "baby" phrases, but they just felt incredibly clingy, the kind of clinginess that makes you wonder why these two can still be so clingy after dating for so many years.]

...

[2587L (Original Poster): Where did this happen? I remember there were over 800 posts before I went to sleep last night, how did it jump to 2000 posts when I opened my eyes?]

[2588L replied to 2587L (OP): Everyone's queuing up to give their wedding gifts. See post #1699.]

[2589L quotes "1699L": They don't hide from people at school, so there's no need to be low-key for their wedding. There are no photos from the event because the main group hasn't arrived yet. The plane just landed. Wait for me to send back photos. A frontline reporter will send you the report [invitation photos][plane window photos]]

My friend's plane landed in Berlin three days before the wedding. As soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up by a car sent by Yang Yin and taken to the hotel.

A group of people looked at the giant building built along the lake.

"You city folks call castles hotels?"

The hotel had already decorated the venue in advance according to the style of a forest wedding, with lemon and olive elements everywhere.

Ge Guang sniffed twice: "This fragrance smells so familiar."

Tu Jing said, "Orange grove."

Ge Guang: "Yes, yes, I knew it."

Li Yuan, who knew the inside story, said, "Brother Lin prepared it; the entire hotel's fragrance has been changed to Orange Grove."

It goes without saying who it was for.

Tu Jing: "Gu Lin is very thoughtful."

The three days leading up to the wedding were all Before Party events. Everyone knew each other, so there were no inhibitions or rules. The party went all the way from Grünewald to Königsroad.

With the wedding atmosphere in full swing and a group of old friends, the "icebreaker games" devised by the hotel's planning team were completely useless; they could have a blast on their own.

Not to mention Li Yuan and the others, even Ji Tong herself almost forgot that she was going to get married later. After expressing her desire to stay up all night with her friends again, she was successfully taken back to her room by Gu Lin and lectured all night before she behaved herself.

The group made a ruckus until noon the day before the wedding, when they finally returned to the hotel to rest and recharge.

"It's over. I already anticipated the pain of going back to withdrawal," Chen Yongjie said, slumped on the bed.

"Since a before party has been arranged, is there also an after party?" Ge Guang asked.

"Yes, we booked the hotel for eleven days. We'll stay a few more days after the wedding if we want to, but then we'll be on our own," Cui Mingying said.

Several people looked at him.

"Play by themselves? What do you mean? Are Lin-ge and Tong-tong going to run away?"

Choi Myung-young shrugged: "Otherwise, why do you think it's a 'before party'?"

Cui Mingying: "I don't know exactly where we're going. I just heard Tongtong mention it on the phone a few days ago. He said we were going to some island, which Brother Lin bought a few years ago. Anyway, it's quite remote and far away."

Chen Yongjie: "With both families?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said slowly, "No, it's just the two of them."

Gu Lin didn't sleep much the night before the wedding.

Ji Tong was woken up by a dream in the early morning and discovered it.

Berlin has been sunny and a bit dry these past few days. Ji Tong was woken up by a dream, so she went to get a glass of water. Just as she was about to sit up in bed, someone wrapped their arms around her waist from behind.

"Where to?"

Ji Tong was startled, and when she turned around, she found that Gu Lin was awake.

At first, Ji Tong thought she had disturbed him, but upon closer inspection, Gu Lin's face showed absolutely no signs of having slept.

Ji Tong stopped drinking water and lay back down to hug him: "Why aren't you asleep? Can't you sleep?"

"Hmm," Gu Lin kissed his forehead, "What did you dream about?"

How did you know I was dreaming?

"Hmphing and whining."

“You’re the one who’s whining,” Ji Tong said, giving him a light kick from under the covers. “I dreamt about some things from high school.”

I dreamt of No. 1 Middle School, I dreamt of Class 1, I dreamt of Gu Linlin, and I also dreamt of the frog son he named "Gu Lin".

My frog son sent me a postcard in my dream, saying that he was in Berlin now.

Finally, I dreamed about the day I took my graduation photos at No. 1 Middle School.

Ji Tong: "In my dream, you were standing right next to me."

"And you?" Ji Tong looked up at him. "I've finished talking. Now it's your turn. Why can't you sleep? Are you nervous?"

"no."

What is that?

Gu Lin raised his hand and touched Ji Tong's hair on his forehead. This time, he was silent for a few seconds.

"Peace of mind."

Ji Tong found it somewhat amusing: "I've only ever heard of feeling so at ease that I can sleep soundly, never so at ease that I can't sleep."

"I think it's just nervousness."

Gu Lin did not refute.

But he knew that feeling was indeed called "peace of mind".

I feel so at ease that I want to be awake every single second.

But some people wouldn't allow it.

Ji Tong flipped over and straddled Gu Lin, grabbed a small blanket from the side, and tied Gu Lin's hands to the headboard.

Gu Lin looked at him with a calm and composed expression.

Ji Tong patted his face: "Stay put, I'm going to get something."

Seven minutes later, Ji Tong came in through the outer door with two cups of warm honey water and untied the blanket binding the person.

“喝完就睡，”纪曈把蜂蜜水递给他，“你要敢顶着两个黑眼圈跟我结婚，看我揍不揍你。”

Gu Lin chuckled, finished drinking the honey water with Ji Tong, and then pulled her into bed.

The two only slept for four hours before Song Zhenshu and Li Yuan woke them up.

The newlyweds changed into matching custom-made suits in different colors, and the moment they appeared, screams erupted like a tidal wave, surging through the forest that symbolized "eternity."

Unlike typical weddings, the couple first paid respects to their parents, relatives, friends, and the heavens and earth upon their entrance, and even performed a first dance at the urging of Tu Jing and the others.

After a series of procedures, at the time Gu Lin had chosen—12:46 PM Berlin time—as the sun reached its highest point in the southern sky, casting its light upon the trees, Ji Tong stood in the sunlight, looking at Gu Lin.

"From this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in health or sickness, I will love you and cherish you forever, until... even death cannot separate us."

Ji Tong changed his mind at the last minute.

Some people, however, changed their tune as soon as they opened their mouths.

Gu Linzhen held his hand tightly and said, "Whether it is yesterday, today, or tomorrow, whether in good times or bad, whether rich or poor, whether in health or sickness, I will always love you and cherish you. Even death cannot separate us."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Some people screamed, some jeering, and some covered their faces and cried, but Ji Tong couldn't see anything.

In front of everyone, he shared a gentle kiss with his groom.

Ji Tong spoke the moment the rings were exchanged.

"Do you remember the night of the Ankyung earthquake? I asked you what you would do if the world ended in an hour?"

"What did you answer?"

Gu Lin lifted his hand and slowly slipped the ring onto his ring finger.

"I'll make you a cup of mint tea."

"So what did I say?"

"Have a cup of mint tea."

"Anything else?"

The moment Gu Lin opened his mouth, Ji Tong blurted out, "I said, after we finish drinking, we're both doomed."

Why did I say that back then?

Ji Tong hadn't thought about it at the time.

But Ji Tong already knows the answer.

Ji Tong looked at the ring on her ring finger.

"Gu Lin, the day I told you 'Let's all perish together,' what I really wanted to say was, 'I love you.'"

Thinking of each other, thinking of death, thinking of life.

Just like the vow we made, even death cannot separate us.

Ji Tong belatedly realized that their first vow wasn't taken on the day they got their marriage certificate, but on the night of the Anjing earthquake.

"So I made a vow to you so long ago." Ji Tong looked at him with red eyes.

Gu Lin raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile, "Then I won't say I'll make you a cup of mint tea."

Ji Tong sniffed: "Then what should we say?"

Gu Lin said, word by word, "Say I love you, say I'm willing."

Ji Tong stopped crying and started laughing.

Perhaps he was wrong.

Perhaps their first oath wasn't taken on the night of the Ankyung earthquake—

In every look Gu Lin gave him.

Every time Gu Lin called his name.

In every long, sleepless night for Gu Lin.

Everyone was saying, "I love you."

Thousands and thousands of times.
