"Hey, by the way, where are we going?" Ye Jiu asked Lin Jin'an, her mouth full of chocolate.
Lin Jin'an grabbed her hand tightly, "Don't scare me, did you hurt your head?"
"Or... have you changed your mind? Don't you want to marry me anymore?"
Ye Jiu: ? ? ?
"Wait, what did you just say?" Ye Jiu covered her head, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Lin Jin'an repeated, "Are you regretting it? Don't you want to marry me anymore?"
Ye Jiu looked up. "I brought it up myself?"
Lin Jin'an bit her lower lip, "I was the one who suggested it, but you agreed..."
"Wait a minute, let me sort this out. So, we're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau now?" Ye Jiu saw herself wearing a veil in the glass of a roadside shop, looking exactly like she was going to take wedding photos!
Lin Jin'an nodded. "Are you still willing to come with me now?"
Ye Jiu forced a smile, "It's not that it can't be done, it's just weird, weird in every way."
Since it's an illusion, she might as well marry him. The main problem is that she can't find Li Jingxing, which means she has to break the illusion herself.
But she still didn't understand whose illusion this was. Was it hers? But she didn't think so. Aren't illusions usually about the things their owners most desire or fear?
Marrying Lin Jin'an is definitely not her favorite thing, but she's not afraid of it either. If Lin Jin'an really brings it up, she won't feel anything. If the time is right, then they can get married.
In conclusion, Ye Jiu observed that this environment was most likely the one belonging to Lin Jin'an, who was immersed in the illusion and whose mind had not yet come to its senses.
Lin Jin'an and Ye Jiu held hands tightly, and asked nervously, "What's strange?"
Ye Jiu shook her head. "It's nothing. I was just talking nonsense. Let's go now."
Lin Jin'an was dressed in a formal black suit, exuding sophistication from head to toe. He took the upcoming event very seriously.
So, is Lin Jin'an's wish to marry her?
What can she do to bring him back to his senses? How can she escape this illusion? What is the purpose of this illusion? And what is the purpose of the ghosts?
She knows nothing.
They remained silent the entire way, but Ye Jiu could feel that Lin Jin'an's hand, which was clasped with his, was constantly sweating, indicating that Lin Jin'an was very nervous.
Ye Jiu smiled with relief. Since it was all an illusion, she might as well grant his wish.
She took a tissue from her small handbag and put it in his hand, whispering, "Don't be nervous, it'll be quick."
Lin Jin'an forced a smile, "I'm not nervous."
Ye Jiu complained, "If you're not nervous, don't let your palms sweat."
Lin Jin'an loosened her grip. "Sorry, my hands are a bit sweaty. You know, I wasn't like this before."
Ye Jiu waved her hand, "Of course I know what you were like before, so just tell me the truth. Are you super nervous?"
Lin Jin'an nodded shyly, "I just find it incredible that we've actually made it to this day. Just a few dozen meters ahead is the Civil Affairs Bureau, and when we come out from there, we'll have an extra red booklet in our hands."
After wiping the sweat from his hands, he took Ye Jiu's hand and kissed the back of it. "My wish is about to come true."
Ye Jiu smiled, "Yes, it's going to come true. I will become your... wife."
Lin Jin'an's heart pounded wildly. "Are you really not going to regret it?"
"We're already at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and you're only now asking me if I regret it? Isn't that too late?" Ye Jiu tapped the metal sign at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. "We're here. Hurry up and go in to get a number."
Lin Jin'an chuckled, "That's right, you'd definitely be willing."
After getting their numbers, Ye Jiu and Lin Jin'an sat on a bench outside and waited.
After their numbers were called, the two of them went in together to go through the procedures.
Lin Jin'an's smile never faded throughout the entire process, and Ye Jiu was infected by his smile and kept smiling as well.
During the final oath-taking ceremony, Lin Jin'an's voice was extremely serious. Ye Jiu couldn't help but secretly glance at him. He recited the oath word by word with a serious expression.
After the oath was completed, he immediately embraced Ye Jiu, holding her tightly. "If I were to die at this moment, I would have no regrets."
Ye Jiu grinned mischievously, "Really? Normally, the wedding night is the bridal chamber, you don't want it either?"
Lin Jin'an gently bit her lip, "Why do you tell everyone everything?"
"Just tell me if you want it or not." Anyway, it's impossible to actually do it in the illusion, so let her talk whatever she wants.
Lin Jin'an certainly thought that he hadn't dared to overstep the bounds before, but now that they had gotten their marriage certificate, these seemingly untouchable things had suddenly become a matter of course.
It all felt like a dream, so beautiful that he felt it was all just a bubble. This feeling intensified when he finally held the marriage certificate in his hands.
Ye Jiu noticed cracks appearing in the surrounding environment and guessed that Lin Jin'an was showing signs of waking up. She added fuel to the fire, "Lin Jin'an, what's the date today?"
"What happened on May 21st?"
Ye Jiu looked up slightly at the crack in the sky, "Were we together yesterday? If we were, what did we do?"
Lin Jin'an opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly found her mind blank. Were they... together yesterday? What did they do?
Did he... did he experience yesterday? Why can't he remember anything...?
As Ye Jiu watched the cracks in the sky grow larger and larger, finally, with a "crack," like the sound of shattering glass, the illusion was completely shattered.
Ye Jiu's eyelids grew heavy, and before she fainted, she only saw Lin Jin'an's panicked expression.
Ye Jiu felt a rare sense of guilt, and then she completely lost consciousness.
...
When I woke up again, it was a completely different environment.
Ye Jiu: I'm numb... Every time I faint, a new map appears... So whose is it this time?
Ye Jiu lay sprawled on the ground, not wanting to move at all, no matter who she was. She hadn't done anything, but she was just so tired…
Ye Jiu lay on the ground staring blankly at the sky. This time, the refreshed location was on the lawn. The grass beneath her was a little prickly, but it was bearable. The sky was very blue, and the clouds looked like they had been drawn with pastels, like an oil painting.
Ye Jiu became so engrossed in watching that she didn't even realize someone had appeared beside her.
It was Li Jingxing, who was also lying on the lawn looking at the sky with Ye Jiu.
"The sky is really beautiful today."
A gentle breeze blew by, and Li Jingxing closed his eyes to enjoy it. Time seemed to slow down at that moment, and he didn't think about anything, immersing himself completely in the bliss of the moment.
Ye Jiu opened her mouth to speak, but found that her body was out of control.
What she was thinking in her mind was completely different from what she said!
Ye Jiu seemed to have become a spectator trapped inside this body.
She saw her and said, "Well, the wedding is about to start. What are you doing here?"
Li Jingxing propped himself up, and Ye Jiu then noticed that he was also wearing a suit, with a boutonniere on his chest that read "Groom".
