Bride-to-be
Chen Xiaojing anticipated that seeking justice for Yang Ning would be a protracted battle.
The online buzz remains strong, and the international attention is even greater, with more and more foreign official media outlets beginning to report on Yang Ning's death. Netizens are employing various ingenious methods to try and break free from the information silos.
Liu Ruyi still took action, and a lot of video material was leaked. Zhang Ge and Song Qing's new drama was boycotted, and more people learned that Yang Ning's death was not an accident, joining the ranks of those seeking the truth.
Zhou Chenjin, who works long hours, reassured Chen Xiaojing, whom he hadn't seen in a long time: "It's a bottleneck period. Something will definitely happen to break this balance, but for now, we just have to wait for it to happen."
"So I plan to marry Hua Nian."
Chen Xiaojing, sitting opposite Zhou Chenjin, almost choked on her drink: "Have you thought this through? Fu Huanian is indeed a very good person, but you still need to think carefully about such an important matter as marriage."
“I’ve thought it through.” Zhou Chenjin smiled and took out an exquisitely crafted invitation from the cabinet. “There won’t be many people invited to the wedding, and you should know them. This is the only handwritten invitation. Would you like to be a bridesmaid, great writer?”
Chen Xiaojing accepted it: "Of course. It seems that the materials for the round fan I keep in my room can also come in handy."
She opened the invitation; it was Zhou Chenjin's handwriting: "The wedding date is set for two weeks from now. Huanian has already sent out the other invitations one after another."
Why do you suddenly want to get married?
"I've been following Yang Ning's death recently, and I've realized how easy it is for someone as big a star as him to be killed by someone with power and influence. I want to enjoy life while I can and have a happy ending with the people I love."
Chen Xiaojing immediately saw through Zhou Chenjin's unspoken words: "I can tell you have more to say than just this: What else do you intend to do?
"I don't have any particular thoughts." Zhou Chenjin smiled calmly. "Xiaojing, you know I'm not one to lie. It just so happens that in this seemingly peaceful but actually turbulent society, Fu Huanian and I fell in love."
Have you gotten your marriage certificate yet?
"Tomorrow is an auspicious day, so Hua Nian took half a day off. Professor Zhang's eye medication should be ready in a few days," Zhou Chenjin told her, bringing good news. "Professor Zhang has been quite busy these past few days."
"He's still waiting for you."
Chen Xiaojing then suddenly realized that she had been preoccupied with Yang Ning's death and had neglected him: "I understand. There won't be a next time."
After leaving Zhou Chenjin's house, Chen Xiaojing opened the door. Zhang Renyin, who was sitting on the sofa listening to an audio drama, probably noticed the door opening and turned around: "Xiaojing?"
"Ah Jin told me that Fu Huanian's research on the drug for your eyes is almost complete, and it should be ready in a few days." Chen Xiaojing sat down next to him. "How about it, aren't you looking forward to it?"
"I'm really looking forward to seeing you after so long." Zhang Renyin hugged her waist from behind. "What else did she tell you?"
“Ah Jin is getting married and invited me to be her bridesmaid. So I might be a bit busy afterwards, after all, a bride-to-be always has a lot to do.” Chen Xiaojing held his hand. “I wonder if Fu Huanian will invite you to be his best man.”
Zhang Renyin nodded: "He seemed to have mentioned it to me before, but my voice hadn't recovered yet, so I didn't agree." He paused for a moment, "Actually, my relationship with them is not as deep as yours with Zhou Chenjin. Whether they invite me or not is perfectly acceptable."
“That’s true, let’s see what they think.” Chen Xiaojing leaned against him. “How about you help me make a round fan? I promised Ajin.”
"good."
Seeing that he had agreed, Chen Xiaojing sat up abruptly, ran to the bookshelf in her bedroom, took out a large bag of materials for making round fans, sat down on the sofa, and casually placed the material bag on the table in the living room.
"Hmm... let me see which tutorial is more reliable..." Chen Xiaojing opened her phone to search for tutorials, picked the one with the most likes, and followed the steps in the video.
The sound of the tassels on the fan swaying, along with the mechanical female voice narrating in the video, filled Zhang Renyin's ears. He stopped listening to the audio drama that Chen Xiaojing had downloaded for him and just listened to these sounds to pass the time.
The sunlight streaming through the living room window slowly shifted to the other side.
The background is red, with a golden double happiness character in the center, and the hanging pearl tassels are extremely gorgeous. "How did you come up with the idea of making round fans?" Zhang Renyin asked her. "I thought this kind of thing was outsourced to wedding dress teams."
“It’s more meaningful for me to make it for her.” Chen Xiaojing picked it up and examined it. “This is a promise between us. I will definitely make her a round fan when we get married, and I will definitely be her bridesmaid.”
At that time, they had just entered university and were still in military training. The two were assigned to different majors, and they didn't see each other often during the not-so-free military training period, but they still maintained the spark that had been there since after the college entrance examination.
She shared and tagged the funny short videos one by one. In one video, her best friend, who had been by her side for many years, made a round fan for her wedding and accompanied her as she walked towards her beloved in her phoenix coronet and wedding gown.
Chen Xiaojing subconsciously tagged Zhou Chenjin.
She replied quickly: "Of course."
Neither of them considered marriage before entering society. It wasn't until Fu Huanian proposed not long ago that the past came back to mind, and they both chose to keep their promise.
