Less than three minutes after Shi Heng posted on Weibo, Gu Youran's phone started vibrating wildly.
"Tsk, your influence is too scary."
She opened her phone and saw that the comments on Weibo had piled up like a mountain. She complained, but she felt happy in her heart.
Shi Heng took out his phone and clicked on the trending search list, only to see the first trending search was:
#Breaking news, Shihenggu Youran’s wedding photos#
The popularity continues to rise.
"Let me see what netizens are saying."
Gu Youran ran her finger across the comments section. "Wow, someone made an emoticon out of the photo of you kneeling and adjusting your skirt, with the caption 'Shi Zong Online is humble.'"
Shi Heng took a closer look and couldn't help laughing: "This photo is indeed quite... dramatic."
As long as it makes her happy, what does kneeling matter?
"Some people also say..." She suddenly stopped, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
Those explicit comments made her heart beat faster.
"The look in your eyes in this set of photos looks like you want to eat me." Gu Youran said in a low voice.
Shi Heng narrowed his eyes dangerously and hugged the man tightly in his arms, "They are right, but now..."
"etc!"
Gu Youran leaned against his chest, her eyes sparkling. "First, read this..." 'Mr. Shi bought the planetarium to use as a wedding photography studio, right?'"
Shi Heng hummed softly, his fingers tangled in her hair, "What's the point of buying it? If you hadn't stopped me, I would have even moved the Milky Way to you."
"Don't try that."
Gu Youran glanced at him and said, "Last time you said you would pick the moon for me, but you ended up giving me a moon lamp."
The way he fulfilled his promise was really unexpected.
Shi Heng retorted seriously, "That's not an ordinary moon lamp. It's an official moon phase model released by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Only 520 of them are sold worldwide, and the number means 'I love you'."
"It automatically updates the appearance of the moon every day, and even the positions of the craters are exactly the same as those of the real moon in the sky."
"Just like my love for you, it is renewed every day."
I felt so cheesy after saying it, but when I saw her ears blushing, I felt it was worth it.
Gu Youran couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Boss Shi, who did you learn this love talk from?"
"No need to learn from anyone, just teach yourself...after all, you have to be worthy of our Doctor Gu's high IQ."
As the two of them laughed and joked, Shi Heng suddenly said seriously, "Honestly, there are still ten days until the wedding, and I only want to do one thing."
"What's the matter?" Gu Youran asked curiously.
"I'll make up for the romance I owe you in the past all at once."
He lowered his head and placed a kiss on her palm. "For example, tomorrow, I'm going to..."
"Stop!" Gu Youran covered his mouth. "No spoilers. I want a surprise, that kind of..."
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "You're going to surprise me with something I can't predict."
Shi Heng suddenly picked her up and held her sideways, "Now, let me give you a surprise tonight..."
"Hey! I haven't finished reading the comments yet!"
"We'll see tomorrow." He carried her to the bedroom. "Now, we have more important things to do."
The door closed gently, and the trending searches on the phone screen continued to refresh.
But at this moment, the only things in their world were their intertwined breaths and each other's reflection in their eyes.
…
The next morning at 6:10.
The black Maybach slowly stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Youran rubbed his eyes. "Why did you pull me out of bed at three o'clock? What on earth are you doing?"
Shi Heng walked around to the passenger seat and opened the door. "I'm taking you to Yunqi Temple to do something important."
"Why do we have to set out before dawn? Are you here to pray for blessings?"
Gu Youran yawned and almost fell when she bent down to put on her shoes.
Shi Heng supported her and bent down to help her tie her shoelaces. "You'll know when the time comes. It's more interesting than just praying."
The bluestone steps leading to the temple were wet and slippery due to dew.
Gu Youran clutched Shi Heng's arm tightly. "Is this temple really effective? Why did you have to come all the way here?"
Shi Heng slowed down his pace. "It's not a question of efficacy. The abbot promised to help us keep a special item."
Gu Youran was about to ask further questions when she suddenly slipped.
Shi Heng quickly grabbed her waist and said, "Be careful."
After walking for half an hour, Shi Heng looked at the breathless Gu Youran and squatted in front of her, "Come up."
Gu Youran blushed and lay on his back, "Am I too heavy?"
Shi Heng deliberately weighed it and said, "It's two taels heavier than the last time I carried you."
"Nonsense!" Gu Youran pressed her face against his back. "I've been working out lately."
Shi Heng suddenly stopped and looked sideways at her, "Do you know why we chose Yunqi Temple?"
"Hmm?" Gu Youran raised his head and found that they had walked to a platform with a wide view. The outline of the temple was faintly visible in the morning mist.
"Fifteen years ago, my mother was in danger, and it was Abbot Huiming of Yunqi Temple who saved her."
"So that's how it is." Gu Youran nodded thoughtfully.
Shi Heng continued walking forward, "Ten years ago, the temple caught fire and the main hall was completely destroyed."
"When my mother heard about it, she rushed over with a construction team overnight. The beams were made of the finest golden nanmu wood."
After turning the last corner, the ancient mountain gate appeared before our eyes.
Shi Heng carefully put Gu Youran down and straightened her collar which was messed up by the wind. "We're here."
An old monk with a white beard was sweeping the floor. When he saw them, he put down his broom and said, "Young donor, you have arrived earlier than agreed."
Shi Heng clasped his hands together and bowed, "Sorry to bother the abbot while he's meditating."
Gu Youran hurriedly followed suit and saluted, only then noticing that although the temple was small, every brick and tile exuded an ancient charm.
The abbot led them through the corridor and pushed open a carved wooden door. There was a table in the room with an inkstone and a brush on it.
"Everything has been prepared according to the donor's requirements." The abbot took out a mahogany box from the cabinet.
Shi Heng opened the wooden box, and inside were two stacks of letter papers with light golden textures.
Gu Youran picked up one curiously, which had delicate ginkgo leaf patterns on it.
The abbot explained, "This is called 'Suihua Paper,' which means 'year after year, the splendor continues forever.' It's dyed with the juice of ginkgo leaves from the mountains behind, and each sheet needs to be exposed to the sun for a full 9981 sunny days."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Gu Youran counted them and said, "Exactly twenty?"
"Yes." Shi Heng pushed one of the stacks in front of her. "Let's each write ten letters, to each other for the next ten years. Every year on our anniversary, we'll come back and open one together."
"So it's a time capsule." Gu Youran's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled mischievously. "Then can I write something that you'll use to make fun of you ten years from now?"
Shi Heng began to grind ink. "You can write whatever you want. For example, order the me ten years from now to fulfill your current wish."
"This is good!" Gu Youran immediately picked up his pen and wrote:
[To Shi Heng one year from now: When you carried me up the mountain today, you said I had gained two taels. If you bring this up again next year, I'll punish you by making you carry me up the Great Wall three times.]
Shi Heng took a closer look and couldn't help laughing: "So cruel?"
