Chapter 203 Licensed to Work: Don't you have a family now?
The cold wave at the end of the year had just landed, carrying snow pellets.
Bian Ji suddenly posted a bombshell on Weibo.
There was no text, only two red ID photos with a caption of two little people and a red heart emoji in the middle.
In the photo, Lu Yinzhao is wearing a white shirt, and her lips are curved in a gentle smile.
Bian Ji stood close to him, also looking at the camera, her smile barely concealed.
The two people's marriage certificates were stacked together, which looked very beautiful.
Weibo's servers experienced a brief outage.
When things returned to normal, the hashtag #BianJiLuYinZhaoGetsMarriageCertificate# had already climbed to the top of the trending topics list with the word "explosive" following it.
The number of comments quickly exceeded 10,000.
[Oh my god?! A big surprise at the end of the year? I remember Lu Yinzhao only graduated half a year ago, how come these two have skipped straight to getting their marriage certificate?]
Who was it that said they were dating but nothing was happening? Now they've suddenly made such a big fuss!
[Help! Even red background photos look so good together! Ahhhhh, I'm dying to ship them!]
[I'd call this a "childhood sweetheart whirlwind marriage"!]
[Who remembers the netizens' scathing comment back then, "Bian Ji finally got his true white moonlight"? Now he's officially licensed to do it! Surprised? Unexpected?]
I suspect Bian Ji was secretly waiting for Zhao Zhao to graduate, right? If Zhao Zhao weren't so young, I bet he would have already snatched her home.
[Blessings! May your love last forever!]
This will definitely be the most stable and exemplary childhood sweetheart couple in the entertainment industry!
[This couple is so decisive! Both of them confessed their feelings at a concert when they liked each other, and once they got together, they showered each other with affection without any pretense. They went straight to the marriage registry office. This streamlined process was so satisfying to watch!]
[As a longtime fan of Zhao Zhao, having loved her since her early days on variety shows, I'm shedding tears of joy right now! My little one has grown up so much, she's even married! Wishing the two of them eternal happiness!]
In addition, many friends in the industry also forwarded it.
Most of these people are artists, magazine editors, and directors who have worked with Lu Yinzhao.
Actress Duan Xirui captioned the post: "[This was my first time working with Teacher Lu. He told me not to force any expressions, that a relaxed smile is the most touching, which is why I ended up with that set of retro photos that everyone loved.]"
Congratulations, Xiaolu! You've finally found your niche! Can you give us regular clients a discount next time you photograph us?
Actor Hsiao Yu-tse captioned the post: "Without Teacher Lu's amazing underwater masterpiece, I might still be that unknown nobody. He made me known to more directors in the industry, and now my career is slowly getting better, thanks to his willingness to accept my situation back then."
Seeing Teacher Lu happy now makes me genuinely happy. I hope he will be happy for the rest of his life, safe and sound, and forever joyful!
Actress Wang Zhixia captioned her post: "I won't say too many thank-you words, I just want to praise you, Teacher Lu, you are the best photographer I've ever met! Now you're enjoying both career and love success, that's only natural! Because you deserve it!"
Director Zhan Hao captioned the post: "On behalf of the entire crew of 'Mist-Shrouded Red Alley,' I wish Teacher Lu a happy marriage!"
Clara, editor-in-chief of fashion magazine NOVUM, wrote: "When I came across Mr. Lu's work by chance, I was moved by the cultural heritage it contained. Later, during our collaboration, the photo he took of Ms. Bian Ji became my favorite cover."
Seeing your red-background photos with Teacher Bian Ji now, I suddenly understand: someone who can capture gentleness in their photos must live a gentle life themselves. Congratulations to our "magician of light and shadow" on your marriage! Please take more sweet photos of your daily life together for us to see!
Reporter Nie Huaying captioned the photo: "The best cinematic storytelling is never about filming other people's stories, but about holding onto your own happiness. Congratulations to my favorite photographer, Lu Da! Love has brought you rewards. May you both use love as a mirror, and may every frame of your remaining life be perfect."
...
The buzz continued to build until late into the night.
Lu Yinzhao privately thanked each of those who sent him their blessings on Weibo.
Bian Ji couldn't help but exclaim, "I always knew you were likable, but today I truly witnessed just how popular you are."
In fact, some of Bian Ji's friends and seniors in the industry also posted their blessings, but compared with Lu Yinzhao's, they were simply not in the same league.
Over the past few years, Lu Yinzhao has worked with too many celebrities and fashion editors. When these people post messages of blessing together, you can imagine what a spectacular sight it will be.
No wonder Weibo crashed several times.
Besides these friends, members of the Lu family also posted messages. Even more outrageous, Cheng Heyan, the crown prince, a man with an arrogant attitude, expressed his warm wishes to Lu Yinzhao.
This left Bian Ji with mixed feelings, a sense of pride mixed with helplessness.
I always feel that even though Lu Yinzhao is already his wife, so many people still have their eyes on her.
After expressing their gratitude and best wishes, many celebrities would add a note about Lu Yinzhao's schedule, saying they wanted to continue working with him.
"Hehe, I can't help it, I'm just so adorable." Lu Yinzhao curled up the corners of her mouth. "So, you'd better treat me well. If you don't treat me well after we get married, I have a bunch of fans and friends backing me up."
"I'll be good to you." Bian Ji leaned down and pinned the person beneath him. "I'll take good care of you right now."
Lu Yinzhao: "!!!" This isn't what's good for me! Get lost!
...
March of the following year.
The couple held a low-key beach wedding, inviting only family and close friends.
The wedding venue was covered with white flower petals.
Lu Yinzhao wore a simple white suit, while Bian Ji wore a sharp black suit.
During the ceremony, Bian Ji sang the original version of "Solar Grin".
The lyrics contain their childhood memories and aspirations.
That was Bian Ji's first impression of Lu Yinzhao, a smile as bright as the sun.
Lu Yinzhao watched him sing with a smile, her eyes sparkling.
The wedding was very romantic and went very smoothly.
Lu Yinzhao successfully completed this major life event, something he never dared to dream of in his previous life.
This life might truly be a fairy tale woven for him by God.
...
The first year after our marriage was both busy and sweet.
Lu Yinzhao's "Zhaoyang Photography Studio" has a great reputation in the industry.
They took on promotional photos for several big-budget movies and also established long-term partnerships with international magazines.
The studio team has expanded from just a few people to more than twenty.
Song Shuye managed the finances very well.
Occasionally, when Lu Yinzhao comes over, the employees will tease her: "The boss and his wife are showing off their love again, they're so affectionate!"
When Lu Yinzhao gets busy, he often stays in the studio, but whenever Bian Ji comes over, she will always bring him a late-night snack or sit quietly in a corner watching him work.
Once, Lu Yinzhao stayed up until the early hours of the morning to finish a proposal for movie promotional photos.
Bian Ji didn't disturb him, but quietly helped him tidy up the scattered lens cloth and placed a glass of warm milk on his table.
When Lu Yinzhao looked up, she saw the man asleep on the sofa, clutching a piece of draft paper filled with concert lyrics in his hand.
While Lu Yinzhao was busy, Bian Ji's "concert tour" was also being prepared in full swing.
He specially invited Lu Yinzhao to serve as the visual director of the concert, and all posters, stage backgrounds, and LED displays were handled by Lu Yinzhao's studio.
...
In the conference room of Lu Yinzhao's studio.
The projector was displaying three alternative designs for the concert poster, and he zoomed in on one of the cool-toned designs.
“This version uses gradient blue-purple light and shadow, and the background is a sound wave texture, which I think is more in line with the theme of your tour, ‘Star Journey’.”
Bian Ji sat next to him, flipping through the concert setlist in her hand, and looked up at the screen when she heard this.
"That's good. Perhaps... we could add some tiny shimmering lights to the sound waves?"
“I understand what you mean.” Lu Yinzhao immediately brought up the layers. “Look, the light spots only light up at the peak of the sound wave corresponding to the chorus, so they can be synchronized with the rhythm of the song.”
“The team previously suggested using static light spots, but I think dynamic ones have more tension. After all, many of the emotions in your songs develop gradually.” Lu Yinzhao became very talkative when discussing serious matters.
He was especially excited when designing the stage visuals for Bian Ji.
Bian Ji's lips curved into a smile. "You understand me best."
He reached out and ruffled Lu Yinzhao's hair, noticing the bloodshot eyes, and added with concern, "Don't stay up too late. The studio's plan is already quite mature, you don't need to do everything yourself."
"This isn't your first big tour, so you definitely need to do your best."
The two discussed until late at night before Lu Yinzhao finally turned off the projector.
The room instantly darkened, with only a few rays of light from the neon lights outside filtering through the blinds.
Bian Ji pulled Lu Yinzhao into his arms, "You've worked so hard, not only managing the studio's projects but also having to focus on my concert."
“What are you talking about?” Lu Yinzhao’s fingertips traced his arm. “Of course I have to personally oversee your concert. And being able to combine your music with my visuals is a very meaningful thing in itself…”
"Just like we are now, each of us busy, but striving in the same direction, this is the life I look forward to and love."
"No one dictates what life should be like for two people together. We find common ground in each other's work and can contribute to each other's careers. Isn't that great?"
Bian Ji nodded. "You're right, but sometimes I've thought about just giving up completely."
"Someone as self-disciplined as you would have such thoughts?" Lu Yinzhao asked in surprise.
“Maybe I was very self-disciplined before, but now…” Bian Ji looked down at Lu Yinzhao tenderly, “Don’t you have a family now?”
Bian Ji sometimes really wanted to pin Lu Yinzhao down on the bed and bully him, even if it was just cuddling together and holding each other without doing anything, he would be willing to do that.
Lu Yinzhao's ears burned slightly, but he didn't continue.
When he met that look in a man's eyes, he felt things weren't going well when he got home; he knew all too well the boundless energy that Bian Ji possessed.
My buttocks, which had just healed, are now feeling a slight, lingering ache again.
Bian Ji lowered her head and kissed his forehead, her voice gentle: "After the tour is over, I'll go on vacation with you to that little seaside town you mentioned before. We won't do anything, just watch the sunrise and sunset together."
“Okay.” Lu Yinzhao smiled. “But before that, you have to tell me the rehearsal schedule for the concert. I need to bring the team to the venue to keep track of the progress, so you can’t slack off.”
"Understood, Director Lu." Bian Ji smiled and pinched his cheek. "I promise to cooperate fully and won't hold you back."
