"What's wrong?"
Gu Youran was a little confused by his sudden action, but she still leaned obediently on his chest.
"nothing."
Shi Heng took a deep breath into her hair and forced himself to let go of her hand. "I just suddenly wanted to hug you."
She smiled and stuffed the oil-paper package into his hand. "The abbot specially asked someone to pack this vegetarian snack for you. He said it was your favorite when you were a child."
On the way down the mountain, Gu Youran suddenly shook their clasped hands and asked, "Master Liaochen was so mysterious. What did he say to you?"
Shi Heng stared into her bright eyes, his Adam's apple rolling.
How he wanted to tell her the truth right now.
In the end, he just squeezed her fingertips and said, "Master Liaochen said that we are a match made in heaven."
Gu Youran's ears turned red and she glared at him coquettishly, but she didn't notice the pain hidden in his eyes.
Behind them, the temple bells rang slowly, startling birds flying all over the mountain.
Shi Heng held her hand tightly and swore in his heart:
No matter what, he would not let those prophecies come true.
…
Shi Heng and Gu Youran returned to the Shi family's old house just in time for dinner.
Seeing the two of them come in, the old lady immediately smiled and waved, "Come and sit down, I'm waiting for you to start eating. After you finish eating, it's a good time to watch your micro-film and wedding photos."
Tao Nianwan took over the conversation with a smile in her eyes, "Ah Heng really put a lot of thought into this. The micro-film is so creative."
Shi Zhengyang put down his wine glass, revealing a rare playful expression, "Your skills are better than when I was pursuing your mother."
Su Manyun sat in the corner, her eyes moving between Shi Zhengyang and Tao Nianwan, and the smile on her lips gradually stiffened.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room to watch a short movie.
Shi Heng sat beside Gu Youran, his hand always tightly holding hers. His eyes were fixed on the screen, but his mind had already drifted away.
"You Ran, this shot of you and Ah Heng was really well shot!" Tao Nianwan couldn't help but admire.
Seeing this, Shi Zhengyang took his wife's shoulder and said, "After the children's wedding, we will also go to buy a house and go to the seaside castle you mentioned."
Tao Nianwan's face was filled with surprise, and he quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll wait until I'm done with this busy period."
Su Manyun looked at the two of them smiling at each other, and the jealousy in her heart almost burned through her eyes.
She quietly touched the small bottle in her pocket, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.
Tao Nianwan, I wonder if you will still be able to laugh tomorrow.
"Heng, you haven't said much tonight." Gu Youran leaned closer to him. "Are you too tired?"
The man who usually likes to stick to her, just silently peeled the orange for her tonight, and even the action of feeding her to her mouth seemed a little absent-minded.
Shi Heng came back to his senses and said, "I left home at three o'clock this morning. I am indeed a little tired."
Gu Youran looked at him distressedly, "Then you go and rest first. I'll come over to accompany you after I finish looking at the photos with grandma."
Shi Heng rested his chin on her shoulder and said, "Sit for a while. Let's go upstairs together after we finish looking at our wedding photos."
There was a hint of coquettishness in his tone, which made her heart soften.
After the micro-film ended, Gu Youran opened her tablet and played the wedding photos taken in the planetarium.
The two people on the screen stood in front of the vast sea of stars. Shi Heng hugged her from behind, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Oh, how beautiful!" Old Mrs. Shi smiled from ear to ear, "Look at this young couple, their smiles are so sweet."
Shi Zhengyang put his arm around his wife's shoulders and exclaimed, "Indeed, it's much more fashionable than those wedding photos we took back then."
Tao Nianwan leaned in her husband's arms, her eyes moving between the photo and her son, with a gentle smile on her lips.
I wish life could go on like this.
The whole family is happy.
After watching for another half an hour, Shi Heng hugged Gu Youran and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.
Gu Youran said as she made the bed, "You're really exhausted today. Go to bed early."
Shi Heng rubbed his temples and said, "Well, I really didn't sleep well these past two days."
He helped Gu Youran pull back the quilt and said, "You go to sleep first. I'll go wash my face."
When Shi Heng came out of the bathroom, Gu Youran was already asleep in bed.
He tiptoed onto the bed and carefully held her in his arms.
Gu Youran unconsciously rubbed against his arms in her sleep.
Soon, Shi Heng also fell asleep.
In his dream, he was standing on the top floor of Shi’s Building, and the entire space was decorated as a wedding scene.
The red carpet was filled with relatives and friends on both sides, but everyone had a dull look in their eyes, standing still like puppets.
"What's going on?" Shi Heng wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, the wedding march suddenly sounded.
Gu Youran was wearing a blood-red Chinese wedding dress and a red veil embroidered with golden dragons and phoenixes on her head. She walked slowly towards them holding her master's arm.
The master was wearing a strange black robe and had a strange smile on his face.
"Youran?" Shi Heng was finally able to make a sound.
The master handed Gu Youran's hand to Shi Heng and said in a hoarse voice, "From today on, she is yours."
After saying this, he also let out a strange "chuckle".
Shi Heng suppressed his discomfort and gently lifted Gu Youran's red veil.
The next second, he took a step back in horror, and under the veil was Vivian's face!
"I've finally waited for this day."
Weiweian spoke in Gu Youran's voice, her lips curled up in an exaggerated arc, "The Nine Star Ring will finally be returned to its rightful owner."
"No!" Shi Heng sat up suddenly, gasping for breath.
Gu Youran was awakened and sat up dazedly. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
She turned on the bedside lamp and found Shi Heng's face pale.
Shi Heng hugged Gu Youran into his arms with such force that it hurt her a little.
He buried his face in her neck, his voice trembling, "I dreamed...I dreamed that you turned into Vivian..."
Gu Youran patted his back gently. "It's okay, it's just a dream. I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."
She felt his body trembling slightly, "Would you like some water?"
Shi Heng shook his head and hugged her tighter, "Don't move, let me hold you like this for a while."
His voice was muffled, "This dream is too real..."
Gu Youran kissed his forehead and said, "Would you like to tell me what you dreamed about? Maybe you won't be afraid if you tell me."
Shi Heng took a deep breath and slowly let go of her. "I dreamed of our wedding, but you...you turned into Vivian."
He omitted the part where his master appeared. "She also said something about returning the Nine Star Ring to its original owner..."
Gu Youran subconsciously touched the Nine Star Ring on her wrist. "Maybe it's because Vivian has been causing trouble lately, and you've been too worried."
She held up Shi Heng's face and said, "Look at me. I am Gu Youran, your wife. Vivian can't take me away, nor can she take the Nine Star Ring away from me."
Shi Heng stared at her familiar face, and his tense nerves finally relaxed slowly. "Promise me that you will be careful recently. Especially..."
His eyes fell on the Nine Star Ring, "Especially, use the Nine Star Ring less to treat people."
