Judging from their tone of voice, you can tell they have a good relationship, but it's still a bit surprising to hear that they were betrothed as children.
"So that's why you broke up with your family?"
"No, the arranged marriage was originally set up by my grandma and his grandma. The two old ladies got along well and both had sons. They thought it was hopeless, but then their grandson was born at the right time. My family was about the same age, so the marriage was arranged right after he was born. My parents didn't object too much at first, but then he grew up to be more and more eccentric, glib and unreliable. My dad thought he was no good. I was always jumping around, and his mother preferred quiet and elegant women, so she didn't like me either. After both sets of parents discussed it, they canceled the arranged marriage."
"By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"
"I've been through countless romances, do you need a girlfriend?"
"I told you not to brag in front of me. If you do, I'll tell Yan Shi about your childhood as a joke." Sang Zhi said casually, completely suppressing Han Yan.
"No."
“My dad has a good eye for people, you’re so unreliable.”
"Your dad is against you and Zheng Guli."
"My dad is lame, not because he's physically incapable."
"I've never argued with you before, unless I do."
"Chatting is fine, but don't stop playing mahjong," Yan Shi reminded him.
Even when they were bickering, they weren't sleepy. When Quan Hou returned, the four of them were still full of energy and became more and more courageous. Han Yan won big, and every time he won, he would hug and kiss the cat, making the cat look like it had nothing to live for.
Yan Shi: I always feel like the cat has betrayed us.
The four of them fought until dawn. Sangzhi cursed and collapsed onto Yan Shi's bed and didn't get up again. Han Yan hugged the cat and covered himself with a blanket in the living room to catch up on sleep.
After arriving in District Seven, Gu Fu of the Divine Medicine Clan prescribed the right medicine and formulated a prescription in just two days. They made a batch to test the effect and then quickly gathered medicinal materials to produce it on a large scale. When Yan Shi and the others returned, they were just in time for the second batch.
However, aliens have nothing to do with the plague, and there's no need to force yourself to eat strange-tasting pills.
Yan Shi has lost her job and can't use the Black Hole anymore, so she suddenly has nothing to do. Even with Zhuang Zhao with her, she still feels bored. In the end, Tong Ying suggested that she go to the farm to play.
"You can farm and raise livestock, including chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, fish, and shrimp. I think it's quite suitable for you."
Yan Shi was indeed tempted, but the farm was a bit far away, and Zhuang Zhao was worried about her going alone, so he insisted on picking her up and dropping her off.
The farm was protected by magic arrays, so zombies couldn't get in, and the alien species weren't interested in the farm either, so it was relatively safe.
Even after exerting themselves, they slept soundly. Yan Shi even bought two square meters of land for Zhuang Zhao to plant dandelions.
It's been over a week since Yan Shi returned to District 7. Many of the trees along the roadside are in bloom, and April is a time of vibrant life and beauty.
The temperature difference between day and night is quite large; it's sunny at noon and cool at night, making it difficult to wear clothes.
Yan Shi usually didn't head back until the sun was almost setting, and Zhuang Zhao would drive to pick her up.
As usual, I would pass by a grove of crabapple blossoms on my way back, but today I suddenly stopped the car.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's go for a walk."
"Alright." Yan Shi also wanted to admire the flowers up close. She had only caught a quick glimpse of them before. Farm work was physically demanding, and she didn't want to walk far to see the flowers again, so she hadn't gone.
"I brought some wraps, would you like some?"
"Yes! It seems we're going on a picnic."
Yan Shi rolled the pancake with his right hand and held Zhuang Zhao's hand with his left, looking very happy.
The crabapple blossoms are not fragrant, but their flowers and leaves look remarkably like those of a fruit tree.
Yan Shi was afraid of insects, so he didn't dare to go too far inside. He sat on a tree stump and ate the crabapple blossoms with even more relish.
Zhuang Zhao sat to her left, playing with her hand. Yan Shi was focused on eating and didn't even glance at him until something was put on her finger.
"A ring! When did you get it?" Yan Shi turned his hand to admire it. It was a silver open ring with long, narrow "YS" at both ends, Yan Shi's initials, and long, narrow "ZZ" patterns on the band, Zhuang Zhao's initials.
The only difference between the one Zhuang Zhao was wearing was that the letters were reversed; the two ends of the ring had "ZZ" and the pattern had "YS".
"I've noticed you really love initials." Yan Shi grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers, the rings on their fingers complementing each other, looking quite nice.
"I always feel that when you link names together, people are also linked together."
"That's feudal superstition."
"This is my heartfelt wish."
"It's so beautiful, unique, I love it. Should we take wedding photos? I feel like the ring and the wedding dress would be a perfect match." Girls always have a special feeling for wedding dresses. Yan Shi had previously thought that even if she didn't have someone she liked, even if she didn't get married, she would still take wedding photos and buy a wedding dress she liked.
Men are dispensable in this life, but a wedding dress is a must!
"Yes! Let's go now!" Zhuang Zhao said, about to set off, but Yan Shi pulled him back down to sit.
"What's the rush? You definitely need to take good care of your skin and be full of energy when taking wedding photos. You should be prepared to be tired before you go. What are you going to do now? We're already sleepy as soon as we get there."
"Then I'll go in a couple of days."
"Why are you in such a hurry than I am?"
"Because I'm afraid you'll run away, I always feel like I have to keep you tied down."
"Please have some confidence in yourself. You won't find another person in the whole world who treats me as well as you do."
There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding.
"That's not the right way to put it."
There was still a little over half of the crepe left, and Yan Shi couldn't eat anymore, so she handed it to Zhuang Zhao and got up to pick a few crabapple blossoms.
"Today is a day worth remembering. Let's make it into a bookmark when we get back, so that we can remember today when we see it again in the future."
"Okay, I definitely won't forget."
The sun was setting quickly, and it was almost dark. Yan Shi reluctantly pulled Zhuang Zhao back, her mind filled with thoughts of the wedding dress.
A strapless, mermaid-style wedding dress with a long train, or a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe with a rarity of four and a half stars?
There are currently no wedding dress shops open in District 7, so Yan Shi had to ask Yuan Xinle before she found one that had wedding dresses on hand and could also customize them.
The photography team was recommended by someone else; Yan Shi looked at their previous works and thought their style was acceptable.
Next, they chose a day with good weather for taking photos, and the two of them even went outside to find suitable outdoor locations.
Yan Shi was determined to take the most beautiful wedding photos. She took care of her figure in advance, tried on wedding dresses, and tried various styles. Everything went smoothly except for her facial expressions.
Candid shots are fine, but when posing, the expression is so stiff it looks like someone is being forced into marriage.
"Then let's take a candid shot; the best shots are those taken unintentionally."
When everyone learned that Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao were going to take wedding photos, they all came over to offer suggestions. Their ideas were so ingenious that Yan Shi was eager to try them out.
With themes like aliens, hot air balloons, forest spirits, princes and princesses, underwater worlds, and futuristic fantasies, Yan Shi had to choose her four favorites. Only after finalizing the themes could she design elements to fit them, which directly extended the preparation time before the shoot.
Yan Shi: I just wanted to take some wedding photos, why is it suddenly so complicated?
