Little Sweethearts 21
The scene before my eyes was the same as the one in the TV dramas I watched as a child. The male and female protagonists in every romance drama would have a gorgeous wedding.
She glanced around and realized that this was still her favorite waterside castle-themed wedding.
The hall was originally filled with the noise of joy from the crowd, but at this moment all the surrounding sounds disappeared. Jiang Qixin and Xu Cheng'an faced each other, her hands resting on his.
His hand seemed warm to the touch. Jiang Qixin looked up at his dark, translucent eyes. She swallowed nervously, then slowly said, "I do."
As she finished speaking, the background music of her favorite band rang in her ears.
A little white cat wearing a small gauze skirt and carrying two boxes walked straight towards them. Seeing the black spots on the kitten's ears, Jiang Qixin couldn't help but smile. She knew that this kitten was her Xiaobai.
Xu Cheng'an took the ring box from Xiaobai's back, lowered his head, opened the box, and took out a ring.
Unlike the diamond ring he'd used for the proposal, this one looked plainer, understated yet exquisite. With trembling hands, he grasped Jiang Qixin's hand and slipped the ring onto her finger, fitting it snugly.
Jiang Qixin repeated his actions and put the wedding rings on him.
This seemed to be the first time she saw Xu Cheng'an wearing a ring. Jiang Qixin lowered her head and looked at the ring on his hand carefully with some satisfaction.
When she and Xu Cheng'an officially exchanged rings, Xu Cheng'an's parents, standing on the side of the stage, couldn't hold back their tears. She hugged the two elders, her chest heaving as she spoke, "Uncle and aunt, we will definitely be happy."
Jiang Qixin found that except for Xu Cheng'an and his uncle and aunt, whose facial features looked very clear, the faces of everyone else were a little blurry.
Although she couldn't see the facial features clearly, she could still feel who those people were.
She couldn't compare the dream to her real life, and she didn't remember that Xu Cheng'an had passed away. Now she just felt that she and Xu Cheng'an got married according to the rules and held a wedding that she loved very much.
She was wearing a gorgeous but not bulky mermaid wedding dress, which was Jiang Qixin's favorite wedding dress at a wedding show that she had been invited to by Yu Zhi.
Jiang Qixin couldn't see Xu Cheng'an at that time, but Xu Cheng'an followed her to the show.
So he deliberately memorized the wedding dress and created its appearance in her dream.
Even the toast dress was of her favorite style. Jiang Qixin was held tightly by Xu Cheng'an and toasted to those people whose faces were somewhat blurry.
After taking a sip, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The glass in her cup was not filled with wine but Sprite.
Jiang Qixin didn't like those overly formalistic and useless procedures, so her wedding would omit many unnecessary steps. As for how she stumbled back to the hotel room, Jiang Qixin herself was a little unclear.
She only knew that she and Xu Chengan had a very gorgeous wedding, and everyone seemed to be genuinely happy for them.
After removing her makeup, Xu Cheng'an rubbed her calves. Because he was worried that she would be too tired from standing, he didn't let Jiang Qixin wear high heels. However, her legs and feet were sore enough after standing like this all day.
Jiang Qixin sat on the sofa, her hands behind her back. Her feet were red from being soaked in hot water. She swung her feet slightly and said, "I'm so sleepy. I want to take a shower quickly."
"Are you sleepy?" Xu Cheng'an thought about it. She had been dreaming for a long time, and he had spent a lot of energy to fabricate this dream, so he was actually a little tired.
And this was his first attempt to connect the dreams of multiple people.
The parents in the dream are also real parents. He connected Jiang Qixin's dreams with those of his parents.
So in Jiang Qixin's eyes, only his and his parents' facial features were clear.
"Well, I'm so tired. I finally understand what those people mean when they say that organizing a wedding is hard work." She raised her hands and stretched.
"Then let's go take a shower." Xu Cheng'an didn't want to end this dream yet, and Jiang Qixin's brain was not ready to end this dream either, so he followed Jiang Qixin's thoughts and said.
The room was filled with white and yellow lights. Xu Cheng'an sat in front of her, his figure covered with a layer of glaze, making him look even gentler.
Jiang Qixin pursed her lips and nodded. She sat up straight and tried to unzip her clothes, but it got stuck.
"Let me help you." Xu Cheng'an stood up. Now he had his back to the light, and the expression on his face was a little gloomy.
"Go to the bathroom and take off your clothes. I've already prepared some clothes for you." He took her to the hotel bathroom and helped her pull the zipper down completely, revealing her white back in front of him.
Xu Chengan put the skirt away and adjusted the water temperature to a suitable level. "Jiang Jiang, try this water temperature and see if it's suitable."
Jiang Qixin reached out to catch the hot water from the shower head, then used her leg to test the temperature. She nodded silently.
"Then you wash first." Xu Cheng'an said as he was about to turn around and leave, but Jiang Qixin grabbed his wrist.
Her warm body moved closer, she stood on tiptoe and put her lips to his ear, "Let's take a shower together."
Xu Chengan's breathing hitched. He had no reason to refuse her. "Okay."
Misty water accumulated in the bathtub. He stood behind her and rubbed her back gently, with bubbles all over her body.
Before long, the bathroom became completely foggy, and Jiang Qixin's hands were unusually red. Xu Cheng'an wrapped her hair and washed away all the bubbles on her body.
Jiang Qixin turned and moved closer to him, their bodies pressed against each other, transmitting the warmth of each other's bodies. She raised her hands and hugged Xu Cheng'an's neck, tilted her head slightly and pecked him on the lips.
Xu Cheng'an hugged her tightly, lowered his eyebrows to glance at her face, put his palm on her neck, and kissed her lips again.
The water from the shower gushed out and flowed onto their bodies. The water droplets on their bodies gathered together and slowly dripped down along the direction of their muscles. Their ears were filled with ambiguous sucking sounds and the sound of water. They absorbed each other's breath bit by bit.
Xu Cheng'an's body is so hot, Jiang Qixin thought silently. His arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, and she gradually leaned her body weight towards Xu Cheng'an.
I really want to be wrapped in the mist and Xu Chengan's breath.
…
Only the faint city lights could be seen in the house, and Xu Cheng'an's eyes lit up in the darkness.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Qixin, who was breathing steadily. He didn't expect her dream to end so suddenly. This was also one of the few dreams that didn't turn into nightmares.
He turned to face Jiang Qixin. Because the dream was over, her eyelids stopped trembling and her expression was exceptionally peaceful. He raised his hand to stroke Jiang Qixin's brow bone, carefully placing his palm on her face.
"I did the dream you asked me to do." He smiled and hugged Jiang Qixin tightly.
Jiang Qixin was woken up early in the morning by the alarm clock she set. When she woke up, Xu Cheng'an was staring at her with his eyes open.
Jiang Qixin only took one day off this time when she went home, and together with the two days of the weekend, it made up a three-day vacation.
However, the time she had taken off had passed too quickly. Jiang Qixin had to return to City A the day after Xu Chengan's death anniversary, so she planned to leave right after breakfast.
"woke up?"
"Yeah." Jiang Qixin blinked slowly, subconsciously raised his hand to pat Xu Cheng'an's shoulder, and pinched the muscles on his arm.
"When you wake up, wash up and have breakfast."
Xu Chengan held her hand, placed her palm on his own, and tossed it up and down, playing with her hand repeatedly.
Jiang Qixin touched her head, feeling as if she had forgotten something. She sat up and thought for a while before suddenly widening her eyes slightly, "Xu Cheng'an, the wedding in the dream..."
"Do you like it?" Xu Cheng'an almost thought that she had forgotten the dream again when he saw that she didn't mention it.
She pursed her lips and nodded, "In my dream, there are my uncle and aunt, and Xiaobai."
Jiang Qixin thought of something else as she spoke, "Did you have a dream for your uncle and aunt?"
"Thank you, the parents in your dream are the parents who entered the dream."
She covered her mouth in surprise, "So, uncle and aunt also dreamed of this wedding?"
"Yeah." Xu Cheng'an raised his eyebrows slightly, with a gentle smile on the corners of his lips.
"Sister, are you up yet? Breakfast is almost ready." Ye Manyun knocked on Jiang Qixin's door. The night before, Jiang Qixin was afraid that she would not wake up, so she asked Ye Manyun to wake her up at nine o'clock in the morning.
Xu Kaicheng raised his head and said, "Breakfast is ready, you can eat now."
Jiang Qixin slipped on her slippers, combed her long hair casually, and walked out of her room.
After dinner, she began to pack her luggage to return to City A, and Ye Manyun assisted her.
Jiang Qixin still wore the ring on her hand. Ye Manyun didn't know whether she forgot to take it off or she wore it intentionally. In fact, time had long erased the grief brought to her by Xu Chengan's death.
What worries her the most right now is Jiang Qixin. She always looks full of energy on the surface, but in fact she is the most sensitive inside.
She folded Jiang Qixin's clothes and tentatively said, "When we moved, wasn't there a colleague of similar age? I remember hearing you say you were schoolmates."
"Hmm?" Jiang Qixin was startled. "You're talking about Lin Wenle. Yes, we have a good relationship, but Auntie, don't think too much about it. We are just colleagues."
Lin Wenle had never confessed his feelings to her, and given Jiang Qixin's personality, how could she have guessed that someone liked her?
What's more, people nowadays don't have to get married or have children. The most important thing is to be happy.
Seeing that the expression on Jiang Qixin's face was not false, Ye Manyun became a little worried, worried that she would ruin her life because of Xu Chengan.
Besides, human feelings don’t last that long. It is possible that she will meet someone she likes again in the future, but the prerequisite is that she has to give up Xu Chengan first.
Ye Manyun moved closer to her and said softly, "Sister, the dead cannot be resurrected. Uncle and aunt have already accepted this fact. We just want you to be happy now. We don't want you to delay your life because of Cheng'an's affairs."
Jiang Qixin subconsciously glanced at Xu Cheng'an. His expression was a little complicated and his brows were slightly furrowed. He was probably jealous.
After all, he had thought so before. Jiang Qixin should let him go as soon as possible and move on with her life. It would be a good thing if she could meet someone who treats her well and likes her or someone she likes.
But he underestimated his own tolerance. He could not imagine that Jiang Qixin would really forget him or stop loving him in the future.
"Okay, I understand, Auntie. I don't have the heart to fall in love with anyone else right now."
Jiang Qixin patted her hands and said, "Being happy is the most important thing. You too, you still have me. We will always be a family of three."
Ye Manyun raised her eyelids. Time had left traces on her face, but her eyes were almost unchanged from when Jiang Qixin first met her. They were still so gentle and powerful.
"Well, we will always be a family." Ye Manyun couldn't help but think of the dream she had last night. She dreamed of Xu Cheng'an, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and the wedding of her two children.
Even if this was a dream, she thought, she should let it go.
Ye Manyun turned around and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. "I put some snacks in this bag for you. You can eat them if you get hungry on the way. And these fresh shrimps. You can cook them when you get home tonight."
"Don't forget to take your cell phone, computer and other miscellaneous items." Ye Manyun said as she checked Jiang Qixin's luggage.
Just like when I checked her suitcase every time before going to college.
"Everything is packed." Jiang Qixin zipped up the suitcase, packed his luggage and set off.
After Xu Kaicheng and Ye Manyun moved her luggage to her car, they gave her a few more words of advice, which were nothing more than words like "take good care of yourself, eat more, work less hard" and so on.
Jiang Qixin agreed to everything, thinking that now that she had Xu Cheng'an by her side, she would definitely be able to eat well, sleep well, and rest well.
"Goodbye, uncle and aunt. I'll come back to see you next month." Jiang Qixin waved and got into the car.
The small pendant that she and Xu Chengan had hung back then was still hanging on the car. She raised her hand and fiddled with the small tassel on it.
"Jiang Jiang."
"Well, what's wrong?" Jiang Qixin turned his head to look at Xu Cheng'an.
"Do you want to take wedding photos?" Xu Cheng'an asked this question out of the blue. Although he had fabricated a dream in which four people entered together, and the wedding in the dream was the result of his long research and search for many wedding venues and procedures, he felt that this was not enough.
"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Jiang Qixin subconsciously touched the ring. "Besides, won't I be the only one going to take the photo?"
"Aren't solo wedding photos very popular now? If you like, we can take them."
Jiang Qixin rolled her eyes. She rarely took photos, but that didn't mean she didn't like them. Even in college, she and Xu Chengan had taken couple photos. It seemed like a long time since she last took a portrait.
"That's fine, but I'm a bit busy lately. Let's talk about it when we have time."
Xu Chengan straightened her messy hair and said, "Okay, you can take pictures whenever you want."
Jiang Qixin squinted her eyes and yawned. She didn't know if it was because of the wedding-related dream she and Xu Chengan had last night that made her feel a little sleepy even though she had slept enough today.
She leaned back in the chair, placed the back of her hand in Xu Cheng'an's palm, and deliberately scratched his palm with the ring.
"If you're tired, take a nap. It should still be a forty-minute drive."
"Uh-huh."
The heater was on in the car, and Xu Cheng'an's palms were finally warm like his own, even warmer than Jiang Qixin's. She held Xu Cheng'an's hand, put her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
A cold wind suddenly blew into the car, and the gloomy wind made Jiang Qixin, who was sleeping soundly, shiver.
"Your eternal inability to reincarnate in exchange for a lifetime with her in the human world." Wuchang floated in front of Xu Cheng'an, shook his head, and spoke in a somewhat sinister voice, "Is it really worth it?"
Xu Cheng'an pursed his lips, remembering his bargain with the underworld: he would never be reincarnated. He would spend his entire life as a ghost for a short while.
But this is not a bad thing for him. It is enough to experience life once. Not being able to reincarnate will allow him to remember Jiang Qixin forever and love her forever.
Xu Chengan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled contentedly, "It's worth it, of course it's worth it."
"I really can't stand your love-brained behavior."
"This isn't called being in love, this is just genuine love." Xu Cheng'an imitated Wu Chang and shook his head. "I really don't understand people like you who are so emotionless."
"What will you do if she reincarnates in the future?"
Xu Cheng'an looked at Jiang Qixin's peaceful sleeping face, his chest rising and falling steadily with his breathing, and their fingers were still tightly clasped.
"Then I will look for her until I find her."
