77 Before Marriage (I)
◎My thoughts are pouring out like a spring.◎
"We were just chatting about wedding arrangements. No one was angry. Why did Weiwei come here suddenly?"
As a top-notch loading cargo, Liang Ting'an remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis, let alone such a small situation. He could just pretend and endure it and it would pass.
Liang Youwei's eyes lingered suspiciously as she swirled between the three men. However, her "Reading Moments" skill hadn't activated a single point, so she couldn't discern any clues. She changed the subject, "Lingyu is taking pictures of me. The new setting is dark green velvet, and she said it would go well with dollar bills. I thought I'd ask Shao Yue if he had any ready-made."
"US dollars? Yes. How much do you need?"
Shao Yue smiled gently, completely different from his previous arrogance, and quietly grabbed attention.
Liang Youwei turned towards him and pondered for a moment. "Hmm... Lingyu means the banknotes are falling like rain, and I have about ten in my hand, so it feels like there are probably hundreds of them?"
"That's enough." Shao Yue, concerned about not ruining her elegant bun, simply smiled and didn't touch it. "The safe will be delivered shortly. Weiwei can try some other styles first."
He paused briefly for two seconds, his smile widening. "Come to think of it, I know a little bit about photography, but my expertise might be different from Lingyu's. I wonder if I'd be honored to take some wedding photos for you?"
"...You can also take photos?"
Liang Youwei was shocked. She could no longer count how many talents Shao Yue possessed.
Shao Yue is very humble and speaks softly, "Actually, many things are universal. For example, if someone has a certain aesthetic sense, coupled with appropriate learning and practice, then their design, painting, photography, and fashion sense will not be too bad."
Liang Youwei's eyes looking at him were instantly filled with admiration.
Liang Ting'an curled the corners of his mouth, while Qin Zhen sneered silently.
It is considered that he has been recognized. He is just a colorful peacock, so what is there to be proud of?
Men are very strange creatures. Their good qualities are often envied by their own sex but admired by the opposite sex.
While Liang Ting'an and Qin Zhen disliked Shao Yue in various ways, Liang Jingyi and others changed their views on Shao Yue.
The reason is very simple. Shao Yue photographed Liang Youwei very beautifully, and he also photographed them very beautifully.
Shao Yue's photographic ideas are quite different from traditional ones. He doesn't like large scenes, nor does he like to focus on details. His composition, light and shadow, and arrangement are all simple. He only adds a high-waisted, slender ceramic vase to the original background, and inserts a simple and elegant pure white lily of the valley, and there are no unnecessary movements.
The man holding the Sony didn't seem to be in a hurry to take pictures. He lowered his eyes and just said, "You guys chat first, I'll adjust the parameters." Who knew that the four of them chatted for less than five minutes before the finished product came out.
Zhao Lingyu was obviously stunned for a moment. She took the camera to look at the results and found them to be unexpectedly good.
The overall tone of the shot is very soft, and the people in the shot are particularly relaxed.
Liang Youwei was smiling brightly as she whispered to Zhao Lingyu. She was half-lying on that thin, right-angled shoulder, her eyebrows curved, her mouth obscured by her hand, making it hard to see. However, the upward curve of her lips and the slightly reddened tips of her ears aroused curiosity.
At the other end of the Baroque-style round table, Liang Jingyi sat cross-legged, her legs vacantly crossed. Her royal blue skirt trailed the ground, revealing only her swaying pointed stilettos. Diamonds sparkled, casting a dreamlike shadow. She rested her chin on her hand, half-raising her face as she gazed at the ceiling, unsure of what she was thinking.
Liang Zhihui, who was wearing a light purple strapless dress, was leaning against a high-back chair, supporting a book with one hand, reading casually, perhaps an old photo album, or perhaps a fashion magazine.
The colors of the painting clash naturally, harmoniously crisscrossing the landscape, resembling a graceful classical oil painting. The simplicity of the setting compels us to focus on the characters, wondering what they are saying, hearing, thinking, and seeing.
The rarest "sense of story" in photography is so easily displayed.
Liang Youwei particularly liked this picture and immediately decided to set it as her Weibo background. She also posted a special Weibo post to pin it to the top.
UV: My favorite photo [Red Heart] [Picture]
She already had a Weibo account, but Liang Zhihui didn't want her to be exposed too much to the public, so he ordered all official accounts under Yixing to stop following "UV." Initially, the picture wasn't very popular until Shao Sheng accidentally saw a like on it, which led to its widespread dissemination.
[Boss Hui is fingering me!!! His fingers are so long, wow wow wow]
【What do you want to say when you see Yiwei? 】
Our sisterhood is so authoritative (color) (color) (color)
[Uh, what's the point of this Yiwei thing??? In this photo, it's clearly Ling Yu and Weiwei who are closer, right?]
[Yiwei kissed Yiwei kissed Yiwei kissed]
【Yiwei is second to Yiwei, Yiwei is second to Yiwei】
[So what if they kissed? Didn't you see the caption? "My favorite photo together"! She loved just whispering to me, and she couldn't even imagine what a grand occasion it would be if they kissed.]
[I say, you guys have really had enough... Does anyone still remember that Sister Wei is Shengsheng's second sister-in-law? This photo was taken by her husband...]
Shao Yue, please rise up!
......
The ups and downs on the Internet are all illusions. Everyone understands this truth, but it is difficult to say that you don’t care.
Qin Zhen was unusually stingy in some aspects. As the anonymous person behind the photo incident, he had been holding it in for half a month without being mentioned. Finally, on April 30th, he made an explosive move.
At 5:20 PM on April 30th, all Hengqin subsidiaries, regardless of size, issued a unified statement:
"Mr. Qin and XX (brand name) wish Ms. Liang Youwei everlasting happiness."
Their accompanying pictures are very interesting. They are not any wedding photos that the Liang and Shao families have already released, but group photos with average photography skills but full of emotional colors.
There are only two people in the photo from beginning to end: Liang Youwei and Qin Zhen.
A few of the photos were taken by him, but most of them are still selfies.
There were two people in formal attire pouring champagne towers together, there was Liang Youwei lying on Qin Zhen's back and making a "yeah" gesture while smiling at the camera, there was also Liang Youwei pinching Qin Zhen's cheek and raising her eyebrows proudly, and there was even something more excessive - in front of 999 Corolla red roses, Liang Youwei put her hands together and made a wish, and Qin Zhen also smiled, turned his usually cold face, and gently kissed her cheek.
The other photos might be plausible, but releasing the last one was tantamount to declaring war on the groom, who was getting married tomorrow. Of course, even more damning was the fact that he had posted the most intimate photo on the highly publicized "The World and You."
In just ten minutes, the comment section of "The World With You" was already in an uproar.
[...Is Xiao Qin crazy? They're getting married tomorrow. Is it really okay to post a photo of him and the bride? The groom will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.]
So what? Shao Yue's list of girlfriends before marriage could form a football team. It's normal for a woman to have an ex-boyfriend. And these pictures aren't too explicit. They only kissed on the face, and the man kissed the woman.
But what's his point in releasing this photo of his second sister-in-law? Is he afraid no one will scold Sister Weiwei? He has so many dream girls, isn't that disgusting?
[I feel like Xiao Qin meant something like, "If Shao Yue treats Liang Youwei badly, he's ready to marry at any time." ...Didn't you see he didn't even say "Happy Wedding"?]
[It's hard to imagine you're playing adult games. Can you, Miss Yi, raise your standards a little? You've ruined the image of women. You're obsessed with men all day and then go crazy trying to make amends for them.]
Whatever a woman wants to be, she's what. So, her initial image can't be changed? A classic twist: One hand champions women's rights, the other scolds women for playing games. Does flaunting your love for your daughter mean you can go to heaven? I don't understand why underwear has to be worn over the head.
"No, how could it be brought up like that? I'm really confused. As a person with emotional bias, isn't it normal for me to speak on the side I'm most familiar with?"
The comments section is a mess, so drink it while it's hot.
When the war was raging, Liang Youwei hummed a tune and went to Weibo to check the hot topics. She wanted to see what was new in the entertainment circle or the melon field bot, but she ended up eating the melon herself.
Liang Youwei's pupils widened when she looked at the photo that could barely be considered a "kiss".
How outrageous!
She immediately straightened up, tore off the mask, frowned, and typed angrily, ignoring her wet face.
UV: [Qin Zhen, I've told you countless times that photos you post must be photoshopped, especially the hair!]
Didn’t you see that her ahoge has popped out?
Netizens who originally planned to eat the big melon: ???
Qin Zhen, who logged in to reply immediately, said: [I forgot, I'll edit it again.]
Netizens are becoming increasingly confused.
What's going on? I really don't understand.
[I also don’t understand]
[Now that we're done, there's no need to argue. Neither of the two parties cares. Let's just gossip. Let's not get too hung up on the tropes. Let's get down to business. I'll go first! Do you think Weiwei would compare these two in bed?]
I think so, because that’s who I am.
I don't think so. Weiwei is a very naive girl. When Qin Zhen posted this kind of photo before her wedding, her first reaction was that it wasn't photoshopped...
…
After confirming that the details of the photo had improved, Liang Youwei left the video contentedly. Knowing her tolerance level was limited, she didn't look at the comments section, unaware that netizens had already debated for eight hundred rounds over the question of "who looks better, Qin Zhen or Shao Yue?"
She will be wearing a beautiful wedding dress tomorrow, so she needs to take good care of her skin.
She had seen with her own eyes how the six people around her were "competing with each other for beauty" and "exercising and maintaining their looks" recently. She must not fall behind. It was unacceptable that in the group photo tomorrow, the bride herself would be the most haggard.
Liang Youwei was in a good mood. Facing the exquisite dressing mirror with carved patterns and gold painting, she carefully applied various lotions, sighing as she did so.
Why do her shoulders look more beautiful even though they're a little rounder than before? So strange. Is it the type of clothing? Influenced by Shao Yue, she's really been liking empire dresses lately...
Boom, boom, boom.
The knock on the door was a little distant, but clear enough for people to hear. Liang Youwei raised her voice and replied, "You can come in~"
It should be the second sister and the others, right? They had already agreed in advance that the three girls would sleep with Liang Youwei tonight and get up together in the early morning to put on makeup tomorrow. She didn't want to get up alone early, that would be too much torture.
"Sister, please look at my new skirt, isn't it nice——"
look.
Why is it the eldest brother?
When Liang Youwei saw the person coming, she was stunned.
But in this small gap of distraction, the other party held her face with one hand and poured a refreshing kiss on her.
He held her face with his right hand and closed the door with his left hand. The next second, his hand grasped her lower back. It was done in one go, without leaving any time for reaction, and the kiss became deeper and deeper.
"elder brother……"
Just as she uttered a vague word, the rest was swallowed by the man again. Liang Youwei's heart was beating like a drum. After a moment of stunned silence, she closed her eyes, slowly climbed onto his arm, silently exerting strength.
Most things in the world require practice, and kissing is no exception. Liang Youwei is quite proficient in this matter. Even if her physical fitness cannot support her to kiss for a long time, her skills can allow her to successfully breathe.
Unless she wants to pretend to be weak to please the other person, Liang Youwei can basically kiss everyone back and forth.
After the long kiss, the resentment and unwillingness in the dark eyes were diluted by reason. Liang Ting'an's indifferent expression showed no clues, as if he had done nothing.
He gently wiped the water stains from his sister's lips, lowered his head, stared at her intently, and asked softly: "Will Weiwei always like her brother?"
Liang Youwei raised her eyes, feeling somewhat burned by the scorching gaze. But she remained calm and looked up at him earnestly, "Yes. I will always love you, brother, and I will also... always love Liang Ting'an."
Her voice was soft and firm.
After saying that, Liang Youwei held Liang Ting'an's hand tightly and placed it gently on her lower abdomen.
"With the baby here, will my brother still be afraid?"
Never mind, just coax Liang Ting'an first. If he can't be a father, he can still be an uncle. We are still a family, and we don't have to talk about different things.
Liang Ting'an lowered his eyebrows and looked at the outline that had almost no obvious ups and downs.
It's not necessarily his, he thought sarcastically, but his palm carefully touched the belly that was almost flat.
Can such a small place really give birth to a child?
He asked softly, "Have you been feeling unwell lately? Insomnia, frequent urination, loss of appetite, all count."
Liang Youwei shook her head: "Nothing. Brother, don't be afraid, I will be fine."
The goddess Guanyin was a very kind person and successfully blessed her.
"It's okay now, but what about later? Tomorrow... you're going to the Shao family. Can he take good care of you?"
Thinking of the future, the man's heart, which had been forced to calm down, began to boil again. He stopped thinking about the illusory child and instead hugged Liang Youwei. One hand held the back of her head, the other supported her waist and back, giving her all the sense of security he could.
"If you've been wronged, just call me. I'll take you home."
The first time, without hesitation. As long as you need me.
He didn't hold her tightly, but his voice trembled for a moment at the word "go home". At that moment, indescribable tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Liang Youwei pursed her lips tightly, buried her head in his soft chest, and listened to his slow and hot heartbeat.
Breathing deeply and silently, she stroked the other person's back and spoke softly.
"I know, brother. I will love myself and take care of myself, so don't be afraid. Doesn't the prenuptial agreement say I can come home and live with you anytime?"
Strictly speaking, this marriage with Shao Yue was a sham, with no legal constraints and no validity at all.
Liang Youwei understands this, which is why she doesn't take her marriage too seriously. To her, tomorrow's grand wedding is nothing more than a cosplay with herself as the protagonist. Beyond looking beautiful and taking photos, there's nothing else to it.
The weight in her heart was different, so she naturally didn't understand Liang Ting'an's sudden sadness. She wanted to cry, but it was just because she felt sorry for her brother's sadness.
"Brother, don't be sad...When you feel sad, I want to cry too..."
Liang Ting'an felt a dull pain in his heart. He slowly stroked the girl's waist-length hair and whispered, "My stepmother doesn't have that many relationships to deal with, so she can't teach you anything. The Shao family and the Liang family are in different situations, so her experience isn't very valuable for reference. So, if Zhihui says anything to you tonight, you must listen carefully, okay?"
Liang Youwei didn't like studying, and she tried to struggle: "What if my sister didn't say anything?"
The absurdity and helplessness came over him at the same time. Liang Ting'an sighed at her generosity and was glad for her innocence. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
“Then you don’t have to learn anything.”
So Liang Youwei jumped for joy, her sadness disappeared, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
She wanted to comfort Liang Ting'an again, but there was another knock on the door. Worried that it was Liang Jiangsheng, Liang Youwei shuddered and quickly patted the man on the back, whispering, "Don't hug me, brother. Hurry up."
Is this supposed to be a sneak peek? How scary.
She was in a hurry, trying to straighten the wrinkles on her dress, but Liang Ting'an was calm and walked over to open the door.
"elder brother."
After a simple nod of greeting, Liang Zhihui led his two sisters in and calmly dismissed the guests: "It's late, brother, aren't you going to rest?"
Liang Ting'an was sensible and would not stay in the same room with so many women. He took one last deep look at Liang Youwei before saying, "I'm leaving now."
"Second sister, third sister, Lingyu~"
After tidying up her appearance, Liang Youwei put on her standard cat-like business smile and called people sweetly.
Zhao Lingyu was afraid that Liang Youwei would run over excitedly, so she walked towards her quickly and stopped her from jogging in time.
Slow down.
Liang Youwei took her hand and stood on tiptoe to look behind her: "Lingyu, Lingyu, do you want to wear my clothes tonight? I noticed that you didn't bring any change of clothes."
Zhao Lingyu, already thinking this, nodded. Her eyelids drooped, her tall figure standing straight, like a verdant bamboo, otherworldly and otherworldly. "Yes. Thank you."
"When are you going to take a shower? I'll get you clothes." Liang Youwei asked with a smile and tilted her head.
Zhao Lingyu paused for a moment, then raised her eyelashes cautiously: "Do you want me to take a bath?"
Liang Youwei nodded and said seriously: "Yes, but it's not just about taking a bath. I mainly want to see you wearing my clothes."
In Liang Youwei's mind, Zhao Lingyu is particularly like Lin Daiyu: handsome, thin, resolute, noble, and talented. However, if she wears a fancy empire dress, will her temperament change a bit?
"...Then I'll wash it now."
I don’t know what was going through my mind, but the blush on the tips of Zhao Lingyu’s ears gradually spread, and even her neck and the sides of her face were all pink.
She was too shy and didn't wait for Liang Youwei to give her her pajamas. She turned and went into the bathroom, her high ponytail swinging in an arc, and her steps were unusually playful and cheerful.
Liang Youwei rubbed the back of her neck, not understanding the child's thoughts. She sighed and went to the cloakroom to look for clothes.
Does Lingyu prefer green? She ordered over a dozen nightgowns last month, one of which is moss green. That silk empire dress is incredibly flattering, wrinkle-free no matter how you wear it, and with the pearl belt she'd specially added at the high waist, it's exquisite and elegant, perfectly suiting her.
Where did she put it? Maybe next door...
After searching the cloakroom to no avail, Liang Youwei frowned and pondered. Forget it, I'll go look next door.
She turned around, her nose suddenly bumping into someone else's. The strong smell of the ocean hit her face, and in an instant she stepped into summer.
"You just take a skirt?"
Bo He Liang Xia's voice was light and graceful, and the end of her words was like a fish's tail, flinging it on her like a spoiled child, stirring up crystal water droplets, "Liang Youwei, where is mine? I want it too."
Upon hearing this, Liang Youwei subconsciously licked her lips and said without thinking: "Haven't you already taken a shower and put on your pajamas?"
Why does Liang Jingyi's coquettishness sound so nice?
Liang Jingyi took off her embroidered shawl, revealing a suspender nightgown, and walked closer to her step by step. The clatter of her low heels almost stepped on her heart: "Clothes can be put on and taken off again, and bathing can be done more often. Right?"
Liang Youwei was so dizzy from the fragrance that her eyes were blurry. "Yes, but aren't you tired? Taking too many showers seems to be bad for your health..."
"I'm not tired."
Liang Jingyi pulled up her wrist and, without giving her permission, clasped it around his waist. His tone was deliberately innocent, "Besides, you should be very clear about my physical fitness, right?"
Liang Youwei understood immediately. She collapsed, closed her eyes and covered her face: "Jingyi, can you please stop making dirty jokes everywhere?"
"Can't? Why can't I tell dirty jokes?" Liang Jingyi pushed her into a corner, confused. "It's obvious that every time I say something like this, you always enjoy it."
Ideas are pouring out like a spring.
"Si" refers to emotions, and "quan"...it's just a spring.
Liang Youwei's legs went weak.
Not counting her personality, she had no resistance to Liang Jingyi's strong face. As soon as his face appeared, her brain went on strike.
"Liang Jingyi."
Just as they were about to kiss, Liang Zhihui's almost numb voice interrupted their movements, "Can you please pay attention to the timing? If you really can't help it, go take a shower next door and do it yourself."
Liang Jingyi's body paused, his face full of obvious confusion and shock.
Is this something Liang Zhihui could say? Or is she going too far? She couldn't help but doubt herself.
She paused, but Liang Youwei didn't. The man's legs gave out completely, and he fell straight into the corner.
Liang Zhihui's expression suddenly changed. He immediately reacted and quickly stepped forward to support her arm: "Weiwei?! Are you okay?"
Liang Jingyi also woke up immediately, squatted down, and looked at the floor to see if there were any red marks: "Does your stomach hurt?"
Liang Youwei shook her head, her shoulders trembling. The two sisters were even more puzzled: "Is the floor too cold? Get up quickly."
Liang Youwei leaned on her sisters' strong arms, and squeezed out a weak voice bit by bit, explaining her trembling: "Second sister, can you please not say 'touch' with such a cold face..."
Liang Zhihui patiently and confidently repeated: "Pick? What's wrong with picking?"
As she moved, her newly dyed chestnut long curly hair drooped softly, floated in front of Liang Youwei, entangled her eyelashes, and then suddenly flew away, leaving only a faint fragrance.
"That's it..."
Liang Youwei's face flushed red, and she was too embarrassed to continue. The shame in her heart turned into an inaudible "嘤" in reality. She pretended to be mute with tears in her eyes.
Liang Jingyi had slept with the person in front of him countless times, how could he not understand her various reactions?
Liang Jingyi's mouth was tense due to the strong jealousy.
Which one? It’s still higher.
Can Liang Youwei have some future?
【Author’s words】
I checked my grades today and didn’t fail a single subject (laughing out loud)! Awesome!
ps: Because I failed advanced mathematics, I have an obsession with "not failing the exam". I didn't do very well in the exam, but I'm very happy hahahaha
