Chapter 50
S City Airport.
Jiang Xu stood at the entrance of the exit hall, leaning against the railing. The temperature was a bit high in the afternoon. He wore a hat on his head, his sleeves rolled up, and one of his hands was held by He Jin. He looked down at his phone.
The flight arrived and the crowd gathered.
Jiang Xu looked a few times but didn't see the figure. Perhaps because she was afraid that she would be bumped into, He Jin pulled her back a few steps.
"Sister~" I heard her voice before I saw her.
Jiang Xu looked around and finally saw the small figure behind the two tall men.
However, it is taller than last time.
His hair was still flat, but it had become much darker, and the contours of his features had become more defined.
The two tall men parted ways at the door, leaving him no chance. They ran towards Jiang Xu like a whirlwind, pushed the small suitcase in their hands to the side, and threw the small bag on their backs to the ground.
Jiang Xu squatted down and hugged the person tightly. Inertia caused her to move back a little, and she leaned against He Jin's legs.
"Sister~ I miss you so much..." Jiang You rubbed against his sister's arms again and again, acting like a spoiled child at will, and then burst into tears, losing the manliness of shedding blood without tears at school.
Jiang Xu was so distressed that she quickly hugged little Jiang You and said, "Don't cry, baby."
Little Jiang You sobbed and said, "Where are Mom and Dad?"
"They are waiting for us in the hotel." Jiang Xu replied, standing up and rubbing the little guy's head. He had indeed grown a lot taller, probably about 1.2 meters tall.
It seemed like not long ago, the little guy who was comfortably held in her arms, has now grown into a little adult, and the childishness on his face has faded.
"Brother." Jiang You turned his eyes and saw He Jin's suitcase and bag in his hands. He was used to it, but it was still easier to call him brother.
He Jin responded, gently pressed his head, and took out a red envelope from one of his pockets. It looked quite substantial, so he handed it to him and said, "Let's go eat."
"Okay, brother-in-law." What's so comfortable about it now? Besides, my sister was taken good care of by him, and the last bit of rejection she had before was gone.
Jiang You tiptoed and skillfully sat on the oversized suitcase, carrying his small bag across his chest. He Jin let him do it and continued pulling the suitcase at the same speed.
…
There was some traffic on the road, and although the hotel was not far from the airport, it still took some time.
Zhuang Yun also came today. At the moment, several people were having a pleasant conversation. When she saw them come in, she stood up and walked over.
"Dad~Mom~" Little Jiang You threw himself between them. Jiang Yuanshan also picked him up, which was a rare occurrence, and let him kiss Yu Jin on the face.
Yu Jin smiled gently and looked aside, "Xiaoyou, call Aunt Zhuang."
"Hello, Aunt Zhuang." Little Jiang You responded to Yu Jin's words obediently.
"Hello." Zhuang Yun also had a smile on her face. She took out a thick red envelope from her bag beside her and handed it to him. "A meeting gift."
Seeing Yu Jin nodded, Jiang Youcai took it with both hands, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome." Zhuang Yun said, looking at the two people at the door, smiling even more happily, "A Jin, Xiao Xu, come in and sit down."
As he said this, he handed over two red envelopes.
He Jin took it and put it in Jiang Xu's hand. Zhuang Yun watched from the side, smiling without saying a word.
We gathered together today to discuss the marriage of He Jin and Jiang Xu.
………
Before proposing to Jiang Xu that night, he went to find Jiang Yuanshan and Yu Jin.
Jiang Yuanshan still remembers that day vividly.
He was worried about a development project those days, and was quite surprised to see him come to visit alone in the evening.
He was holding some gifts in one hand, and the thing in the other hand made him speechless for a long time.
The projects and lands that he had his eye on were put up for bidding in advance. Not to mention how much it would cost, the fact that it was consistent with his unique vision left him speechless.
"Uncle Jiang, these are my little gifts. I thought you'd like them, so I accepted them." He Jin stood in front of Jiang Yuanshan, but didn't sit down. He took out another document he had prepared and said respectfully, "These are all my current assets. From now on, they will all belong to Jiang Xu. I came here today to propose marriage."
Jiang Yuanshan: “…”
Yu Jin looked for a while, then suddenly got up and went upstairs without saying what he was going to do.
Although he knew it was a matter of time, Jiang Yuanshan still found it difficult to agree, and his expression was a little complicated.
He Jin was unusually nervous: "Uncle, I promise to treat Ah Xu well for the rest of my life, and I will also hand over all my future property to her."
Jiang Yuanshan: "..." Can he refuse? If he refuses, the first person who will be unable to sit still should be his precious daughter who is eager to get married.
Before he could say anything, Yu Jin came downstairs and headed straight towards them. At first, Jiang Yuanshan couldn't see clearly what she was holding in her hand, but when she walked in, the three big words "Household Registration Book" came into his sight.
"I promised. Don't worry. Our Ah Xu will definitely treat you well." Yu Jin said righteously.
It has not been easy along the way.
Jiang Yuanshan was completely speechless and waved his hands, saying, "Go ahead and get married, who can stop you?"
He Jin knew that Jiang Xu didn't like things that were too noisy and high-profile, so he proposed to her at home.
…
Because Jiang Xu was not yet of legal marriage age, they decided to hold a grand engagement party.
He Jin and Jiang Xu had no objection and asked them to tell fortunes and set the date.
It was quite late when the show ended. Little Jiang You was tired from traveling all day, and fell asleep leaning on Jiang Xu in the middle of his meal. No matter how loudly they talked, they couldn't wake him up. He was thrown to the driver as soon as he left the house.
Jiang Yuanshan's alcohol tolerance isn't what it used to be. Tonight, he was already a bit drunk after just a few drinks. At the hotel entrance, he took Jiang Xu's hand and stuffed a bank card into her hand, his eyes red. "Ah Xu, you've worked hard this year. You'll always be Daddy's pride. Don't worry about us. If you've been wronged, just come home. Don't carry it all on your own."
Jiang Yuanshan rarely talks so much. He has loved his daughter for eighteen years, and it would be a lie to say that he is not reluctant to let her get married.
"I understand, Mom and Dad, you should go home and rest early." Jiang Xu listened to every word, holding their arms, very intimately, "You and Mom should take care of your health, don't be too busy."
“…”
He Jin sent Zhuang Yun to the car. She had been living here recently, and the date had not been agreed upon yet.
When I turned around, I saw they were still talking about something, so I waited on the side, feeling pretty good.
"He Jin, come here." Jiang Yuanshan suddenly said.
As he was told, He Jin stepped forward and said, "Uncle Jiang."
"You kid, you're still calling me uncle?" Jiang Yuanshan frowned, but took out a card from his pocket and handed it to him, "Call me dad."
"..." Even though he had prepared himself mentally, He Jin was still stunned for a moment. He reached out to take it and shouted, "Dad."
Then he looked at Yu Jin who was standing beside him, "Mom."
Yu Jin smiled happily and responded.
"Yeah." Jiang Yuanshan's expression softened considerably, and he added, "I know you don't need these things right now, but no matter what happens now or in the future, just tell me. You and Ah Xu are doing well."
He Jin said calmly, "I will, thank you."
………
The engagement banquet was on the third day of the fifth lunar month, an auspicious day that symbolizes a new beginning and a bright future.
It was the Dragon Boat Festival that day, and it was very lively.
All hotels under the Jiang family have big discounts, not for anything else but for good luck and blessings, and the most upscale hotel is used to host a banquet for the guests.
The middle floor of the hotel was full of acquaintances, and they had the most fun. Almost all the high school classmates were there, including those from No. 1 Middle School and No. 3 Middle School.
Jiang Xu really doesn't like complicated things. He just wants to keep the process simple and have fun afterwards.
A group of people gathered at the main table: Ji Jing, Wu Yunyun, Qiu Tian, Xu Zhixin, Song Li...
It was noisy from beginning to end.
In just one year, they shed the immaturity of their student days, spoke and behaved like newcomers to society, and they all found the most suitable versions of themselves.
When they get together, there are still endless topics to talk about. College life and high school memories are all wonderful and indispensable parts of life, unique to them.
It was almost twelve o'clock when we finished, so we didn't have enough fun. But it's vacation anyway, so we will continue tomorrow.
Jiang Xu was still very energetic, because today was a new beginning for them and it had not ended yet.
After seeing off the last group of guests, Jiang Xu shook He Jin's hand, smiling with her eyes curved, and said mysteriously, "Brother Jin, I'll take you somewhere."
He Jin looked down at her, didn't ask anything else, and quickly responded, "Okay."
The driver quickly drove to the hotel entrance and took them to the halfway point of a mountain on the outskirts of the city. Then he nodded to Jiang Xu, indicating that everything was ready.
Jiang Xu made an OK gesture behind him, and the driver said he understood and drove down the mountain.
He Jin saw all the girl's actions, said nothing, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
What is this girl doing?
"Brother Jin, close your eyes and I'll take you away." Jiang Xu said.
"Okay." He Jin always agrees to requests.
Seeing that the man closed his eyes obediently, she couldn't hide the smile on her face and pulled him step by step.
The mountain was already very lively on the early summer night, with insects chirping constantly and the grass leaves underfoot making slight sounds. He Jin knew that he should have been led to a small path, but strangely, the road under his feet was very flat and did not look like a mountain path at all.
He closed his eyes and let her lead him for a long distance. The road was flat and straight, heading towards the top of the mountain, without stopping.
He Jin didn't know where he was when he heard someone beside him say, "Brother Jin, you can open your eyes now."
What meets the eye is the light of broken stars.
Fireflies were flying all over the sky, emitting light generously, lighting the way to the top of the mountain for them.
The two of them tacitly understood each other and walked up step by step without saying a word.
Mountain top.
The moonlight was quiet, not as noisy as before, and the crackling sound of the lit fairy wand was particularly clear.
The girl's eyes were flashing with the light of a fairy wand, and he was reflected in the light.
Bright and clear.
The pure white picture in the crystal ball was filled with color at this moment.
Jiang Xu was counting down the time in his heart, and the moment when the fairy wand burned out was just right.
With a "bang", a straight golden line rushed into the sky, paused for a moment, and random fireworks bloomed. The dazzling light illuminated the sky above the suburbs, and they were enveloped by the light.
Just like the fireworks on her eighteenth birthday, brilliant and passionate.
Fireworks are dazzling, but they cannot compare to the pain around you.
In just a moment, he hooked his arm around the girl's waist, brought her in front of him, and leaned over to kiss her lips.
Jiang Xu raised her head in his arms, looking expectant: "Brother Jin, do you like it?"
"Yeah, I like it." He Jin's fingertips brushed across his lips that were kissed red by him.
Jiang Xu smiled and threw herself into his arms. She tilted her head back and said word by word amid the sound of fireworks: "He Jin, I love you, this year, next year, and every year."
He Jin lowered his eyes and met the girl's fiery gaze, with a smile on his lips: "I love you, forever."
The most sincere and supreme confession.
"Xiao Jiang, are you willing to support me for the rest of my life?"
"OK."
“…”
The wind blows, and my memory goes back to the year we first met.
He was alone at that time and didn't know if he could survive on his own.
She came with the scorching sun and infiltrated into his life bit by bit without any preparation.
He couldn't hide or avoid her. She had always been irresistible to him, and she wasn't the only one who was moved from the beginning to the end.
Young people's emotions are always passionate and worthy of their recklessness.
Everything I lost in the past is not worth her appearance.
In the days to come, I will no longer be alone.
Every moment is eternal for them.
