◇ 【090】Let’s get married! (1)
After Gu Juan dealt with Gu Yinyin and the others' affairs, he returned to the flower base. After more than a year of development, the flower base had already become famous throughout the country.
Because the base only accepts 1,000 visitors per day, would-be visitors must call ahead to reserve tickets and rooms. This cap on visitor numbers is a love-hate relationship for visitors. They love the fact that fewer people are inside the base, allowing them to enjoy themselves, dine, and shop without the crowds, making their trip more relaxing and worry-free. They also hate the fact that tickets are so hard to come by. Once the 1,000 tickets are sold out, they can't sell them anymore, no matter what connections or connections you have.
Furthermore, the flower base has also boosted the development of Jixiang Village. Some clever villagers have opened farmhouses in their homes, planting flowers and fruit trees. Tourists who cannot enter the flower base due to ticket restrictions may settle for picking vegetables or fruits in the farmers' fields, or even buying some of their free-range eggs or chickens.
When Gu Juan arrived at the base, he first went to the office to talk with Ji Xiyu and Lan Na for more than an hour, and then took a rough look at the account book before returning home.
The house was cleaned twice a week by someone, and it was basically spotless. Gu Juan still used a magic spell to clean it, then took all the bedding, pillows, blankets, etc. out to dry in the sun, and then took out his and Xi Lang's clothes and hung them in the closet. The deserted house gradually became more lively.
The black back dog seemed to be familiar with everywhere. It ran up and down in the house and ran out again after a while.
The collar around its neck has a name tag that not only has its name and Gu Juan's contact number on it, but also a trace of Gu Juan's spiritual mark. Gu Juan is not afraid that it will get lost.
After tidying up his house, he put on his sunglasses and went to inspect the base. He was very satisfied after the inspection. Ji Xiyu and Lan Na had taken good care of the base, and he was considering giving them a proper raise.
In the afternoon, he did not go out and spent half a day reading medical books on the balcony.
At six o'clock, he began preparing dinner. Xi Lang got off work at five o'clock, and it took about eighty minutes to drive here from the capital. After getting home and taking a shower, it was almost time for dinner.
Although he had less time to cook this year, he had a great chef by his side and his cooking skills improved through observation and observation.
After cooking the rice, he carried the basket to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. Erjianmei followed him enthusiastically, and seemed to like his new home very much, wagging his tail happily.
The flower base presents a different scene at night. Street lights of different heights and colors are neatly dotted on the huge black shadow of the entire base. Waves of floral fragrance drift in with the night wind, and the chirping of insects and frogs rises and falls. The entire base is more artistic than during the day.
Xi Lang's car drove directly to the truck-only lane, where the car could be driven into the base.
He pulled a golden card from his pocket and handed it to the guard in the guard room. The guard saw a square frame printed on the card, with a black wolf crouching majestically within it, looking calm. He immediately understood that this person was one of the base's owners and opened the electric barrier to let the car in.
From afar, Xi Lang could see the lights on in the three-story villa, eyes full of smiles. There, someone was waiting for him to come home.
"Sizzle--" Gu Juan poured the washed Chinese cabbage into the hot oil pan, and the fragrance immediately wafted out.
"Woof woof!" Er Jianmei barked twice, turned around and ran out.
Gu Juan glanced at it, smiled silently, and continued cooking.
Xi Lang patted Er Jianmei's head, went inside, placed his briefcase on the sofa, and headed for the kitchen. The silhouette of the young man in slippers, apron, and spatula wielding his hands from behind was a delight to him. Before meeting Gu Juan, he had imagined countless times that a lover would be waiting for him when he returned home. Now, his dream had come true, and he had grasped happiness.
He walked over quickly and hugged his beloved from behind, "What are you having for dinner?"
Gu Juan didn't even turn his head, but a smile played on his lips, "I'm back. Go take a shower first, and there's another dish to cook."
Xi Lang pecked him on the lips before letting him go, "I'm going to take a shower."
Gu Juan placed four dishes on the table: shredded pork with Beijing sauce, stir-fried diced chicken with soy sauce, fried bok choy, and tofu soup. He admired them all and felt good about himself; at least they looked good.
After taking a shower, Xi Lang went downstairs and saw Gu Juan already sitting at the dining table waiting for him.
He sat down next to Gu Juan, held his face and kissed him again, "What were you busy with at home today?"
"I took care of the base, cleaned the house, and read a book." Gu Juan gave him some of each dish and urged him, "Try it and see how it tastes."
Xi Lang tasted them one by one and nodded repeatedly, praising them generously, "It's delicious, almost as good as what I make."
"If it tastes good, eat more." Gu Juan was happy and helped him pick up some food. "Is the company busy?"
Xi Lang shook his head helplessly. "Su Luoheng was probably afraid that I wouldn't take care of things again, so he acted without my permission and went on vacation abroad. He won't be back for a month. I plan to train another person and have him run the company together with Su Luoheng. I'll gradually retreat behind the scenes. Xiaojuan, the same goes for you. It would be best if you could find two reliable people to manage the flower base, and you can just be the boss behind the scenes. I don't want you to be too tired."
Gu Juan nodded. "Of course it would be great. As for me, I'm very satisfied with Ji Xiyu. Lan Na is also good, but he's still a long way from being able to stand on his own. I'll talk to Ji Xiyu tomorrow and ask him to take care of Lan Na more."
"There's one more thing. Let's talk about it after dinner." Xi Lang said again.
His smile was gentle and affectionate. Gu Juan's heartbeat began to become irregular again. He lowered his head and ate seriously.
After dinner, Xi Lang cleared the table and washed the dishes.
Gu Juan was full and lay on the sofa, not wanting to move.
Xi Lang didn't say anything to him. After washing the dishes, he came out and picked the man up easily.
"What?" Gu Juan leaned softly on his shoulder.
Xi Lang put his arm around his waist and lifted his chin with his other hand. He met his eyes and said with a smile, "Xiaojuan, you must have remembered that I said we would get married after you graduated from college."
Gu Juan's face turned red, "Of course I haven't forgotten." But he thought that since they were already engaged and it was no different from being married, Xi Lang would postpone considering this matter.
Xi Lang held him tightly with one hand, and reached into his pocket with the other hand to crush a talisman.
Gu Juan found himself slowly ascending into the air, then suddenly soaring through the gate and into the sky, reaching thousands of meters high, closer to the starry sky, as if he could pluck the stars with his hands. Looking down, the flower base seemed tiny.
"So tall!" Gu Juan exclaimed in amazement, "Did you refine this talisman?"
Xi Lang nodded, a little regretful. "Unfortunately, at this altitude, it can only be maintained for about ten minutes." After saying that, he suddenly took out a small red velvet box from his pocket and handed it to Gu Juan. "Xiao Juan, marry me."
Gu Juan looked at him in a daze.
Xi Lang held his hand and said, "I want to marry you. I want to walk with you through all the roads we'll take in the future, whether it's joy, anger, sweetness, or bitterness, I'll be with you."
Gu Juan's eyes were a little sore. He didn't say a word, but just stretched out his hand in front of him.
Xi Lang smiled happily, quickly put the ring on his finger, and then put a ring that was exactly the same as the space ring on his ring finger, then kissed him deeply, but quickly let go.
"Let's go back now. I'll call Mom and ask them to start preparing. I hope we can get married before you start school. Of course, before that we still have to register abroad."
"Before school starts?" Gu Juan was stunned. "Is it too late?"
"It's still in time. In fact, I've been secretly making some preparations since we got engaged." Xi Lang held him as they descended. Because they had used the invisibility technique, they weren't worried about being seen.
"You were the first to propose marriage, so I can't let you suffer through the marriage."
Gu Juan couldn't help but laugh. This person was still upset because he had proposed marriage first.
Xi Lang let him laugh and took out his cell phone to call Xi's mother.
"Alang, are you and Xiaojuan settled?"
"I'm settled. Mom, I called to tell you that Xiaojuan and I plan to get married before he starts school. I'd like to trouble you and Dad to take care of it."
"Of course it would be great if you could get married sooner, but with only two months left, is there still time? Ah Lang, don't think getting married is a simple matter. You have to choose a dress, take wedding photos, greet relatives and friends in advance, write invitations... Marriage is a big deal, and you can't be careless just because you two are men!"
When Gu Juan heard this, he felt warm in his heart.
Xi Lang was as steady as a rock. "Mom, I know everything. I've already made some arrangements in advance. You heard that I... that's it. I'm sure there's still time."
After hearing his plan, Xi's mother felt relieved. "If that's the case, then we do have more time. Okay. Have you picked a date? If you have, let me know and I'll arrange it."
Gu Juan mouthed to Xi Lang: The date hasn’t been chosen yet.
Unexpectedly, Xi Lang rubbed his head and said without hesitation, "I checked, the eighth day of the eighth month is a good date. That day is August 30th in the Gregorian calendar, so it will definitely be before Xiaojuan starts school."
Gu Juan curled his lips, it seemed that this old man had really put in a lot of effort.
"Okay, then I'll arrange it according to this date." Mother Xi's voice was filled with laughter. "Is Xiaojuan here? I want to talk to him."
Xi Lang handed the phone to Gu Juan and hugged his waist, "Mom wants to talk to you."
Gu Juan roughly pressed his head on her lap, then covered his ears and coughed lightly, "Mom..."
"Ah." Xi's mother responded with an especially cheerful and cheerful tone. "I love organizing these happy events. Xiaojuan, just give me the contact information of everyone you need to contact, and then just wait peacefully for the wedding day. Leave everything else to Alang and me."
"Okay, thanks, Mom."
After the call, we looked at each other, both feeling a little nervous for some reason. Being single and being married are definitely different.
Xi Lang leaned closer to Gu Juan.
The warm breath gently hit Gu Juan's face. His heart beat faster and faster, and his eyes closed involuntarily.
Then, he felt wet lips on his, and a hot and passionate kiss quickly engulfed him…
Even though his lover is of the same sex as him, Gu Juan still wants to take a few good photos. When he and the old man leave the earth in the future, these will be their precious memories.
Xi Lang desperately wanted to capture Gu Juan's every expression, not even skipping a single step. Besides documents, his office was filled primarily with photos of Gu Juan. Therefore, he hired a team of professional photographers to take photos of the two of them. There were photos of the two dressed in traditional groom's robes, Tang suits, Western suits, and various other couple's outfits... There were photos taken on the beach, on a boat, in the water, in the mountains... there was even a set of more ambiguous photos... The images were filled with romance and warmth.
The photographer secretly exclaimed that he had feasted his eyes, and he also said that the two people's appearance and temperament had raised his photography skills to a higher level. If it weren't for the Xi family's third young master's extraordinary status, he would have actually spent a lot of money to buy a set of photos to promote his photography studio.
Xi's mother thought the two children looked so well-matched in every photo, and she wanted to develop every one of them. What she didn't know was that Xi Lang had actually done just that.
After much discussion, the family finally selected six photos to be enlarged and printed, to be hung in the banquet hall on the wedding day. One showed Xi Lang and Gu Juan dressed as traditional grooms, both wearing red wedding attire, holding the wedding sash and smiling at each other. Another showed both of them wearing white shirts. Xi Lang, with a smile on his lips, pressed a kiss to Gu Juan's forehead. Gu Juan tilted her head slightly, gazing at him with dark eyes. The sea breeze blew their hair and shirts aloft.
