Chapter 33 Compromise for Me
Lu Xiangyang sighed: "It's not that I don't want you to take pictures."
"But look at these clothes, they're all dresses."
"It's already December, and it's already snowed. Although it's not yet the Gregorian New Year, it's already very cold."
"It's so cold, what if you get frostbite taking photos in such thin clothes?"
"We're getting married on New Year's Day. You don't want to attend the wedding with a snotty nose, do you?"
They didn't plan to hold a big event.
The so-called "small banquet" simply means not inviting distant relatives and friends with whom one doesn't know much.
We'll definitely invite the Jiang family's grandparents and maternal relatives, and the same goes for the Lu family.
Neither side is a small family; both groups consist of dozens of people, including men, women, and children.
It's not exactly small anymore.
Jiang Jianni was even more annoyed: "I can drink Banlangen in advance to prevent it. Besides, I can wear thermal underwear underneath and a coat on top."
"It's just that I wore something thinner when taking photos."
"Seriously, don't treat me like an idiot."
Lu Xiangyang naturally thought it wouldn't work, but he couldn't stop Jiang Jiani from going her own way.
To prevent his wife from catching a cold before they were even married, he had to bring several extra military overcoats.
Don't be fooled by all the fancy down jackets and other fancy clothes these days; when it comes to keeping warm, the military overcoat from the army is still the most effective.
He even borrowed a car!
This was to prevent Jiang Jiani from getting cold on her way to the photo shoot location.
But I'll pass on that cheongsam.
A cheongsam has short sleeves, so you can't wear thermal underwear with it.
No matter how much Jiang Jianni objected, it was no use; she had no choice but to compromise and only shoot photos of her in a traditional Chinese wedding dress.
On the day of the photoshoot, Jiang Jianni made a point of dressing up nicely.
Not only did she have an exquisite makeup look that I'd never seen before, but her hairstyle was also beautifully done, and she even used mousse that Jiang Haibing was reluctant to use for styling.
The exquisite headdress was something she made herself by buying beads, ribbons, and copper wire at the wholesale market—thank goodness for the skill she learned when she was bored in her past life.
In those days of scarcity, she managed to get herself a decent set of clothes.
Jiang Jianni looked around the room, and only after making sure there were no mistakes did she open the door and come out: "Look at me, do you think I look alright dressed like this?"
Lu Xiangyang had already changed his clothes and was waiting in the living room with the Jiang siblings and two comrades.
He was distracted while chatting, his mind constantly focused on Jiang Jiani in the room.
Jiang Jianni had barely opened the door and before he could even speak, he was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word.
Only four words kept running through my mind: a fairy descending to earth.
Jiang Jiani is actually a fairy who descended to earth and I just happened to run into her, right?
Suddenly, he felt a connection with the Cowherd.
If the Weaver Girl looked like Jiang Jiani, then it's no wonder the Cowherd was willing to shamelessly hide her clothes just to marry her.
Jiang Haibing was chatting idly with two firefighters when he saw Jiang Jianni appear. The cigarette between his fingers fell out, and his mouth was wide open, unable to utter a single word.
Jiang Haiyang couldn't believe his eyes at all. He rubbed them, looked at them, rubbed them again, looked at them again, and then started to gasp.
Is this really his second sister?
His second sister is beautiful, but she looks especially beautiful today.
He was a senior in high school, and he usually read various extracurricular books to expand his vocabulary. He was at the peak of his knowledge storage, but he couldn't think of the right words to describe his second sister at this moment.
Jiang Yanni's eyes widened like saucers. She wanted to scream, but for some reason she covered her mouth tightly and couldn't make a sound, so she could only stomp her feet desperately.
Lu Xiangyang's two comrades-in-arms were equally amazing.
Seeing that none of the six or seven people in the room were speaking, Jiang Jianni became uneasy. She touched her face and then her hair, and asked anxiously:
"What's wrong? Why aren't you all saying anything?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
As soon as she spoke, Lu Xiangyang suddenly came to his senses. He turned around and saw that the four men all looked so amazed that they couldn't speak. He immediately felt uncomfortable.
He could accept his two brothers-in-law, but the look in his eyes from his two comrades made him incredibly regret bringing them along—but without them, there was no one to take pictures.
Before anyone could react, Lu Xiangyang suddenly stood up, grabbed a military overcoat, and strode toward Jiang Jiani.
As he approached, he casually pushed Jiang Jianni into the house, saying:
"Aren't you cold wearing such thin clothes!"
Then he closed the door behind him.
The people outside were dumbfounded.
His two comrades protested, "Hey, Lu Xiangyang, don't go too far."
"That's right, Lu Xiangyang, you know you'll get beaten up for doing that?"
Jiang Haibing picked up his chin, which had fallen to the ground, his face filled with disbelief: "That's my sister? My God, is that really my sister?"
"My sister is so beautiful?"
Li Jiuming, filled with regret, slapped Jiang Haibing's shoulder repeatedly: "Ahhh, how come I only just met you? How come I only just met you?"
"If I had met you a month earlier, you could have introduced your sister to me."
"Unlike now, Lu Xiangyang actually beat me to it!"
He pounded his chest and stamped his feet, his face full of resentment: "Why? Why does Lu Xiangyang have any right to do this?"
Another comrade echoed, "That's right."
"Lu Xiangyang doesn't have extra arms or eyes, so how did he end up running into this?"
He grabbed Jiang Haibing's neck and said, "I heard you have a younger sister..."
The two of them turned to look at the excited Jiang Yanni, then turned back together and said, "Forget about this one, he's just a kid."
Do you have any other sisters?
"Cousins, whether near or far, please introduce me to someone."
Waaaaah.
I will never refuse a blind date again.
It turns out that you can actually meet a stunning beauty through blind dates.
Jiang Yanni was excited. She had been listening attentively to their conversation, hoping to do well so that her older brothers could introduce her to a suitable partner when she grew up.
Unexpectedly, both of them disliked him.
He was so angry he turned into a pufferfish.
My romanticized view of soldiers has been shattered.
Jiang Haibing was enraged by their words: "You bastards, how dare you covet my sister!"
The three tall, burly men immediately started fighting, their friendship turning into a life-or-death feud in an instant.
The thin and young Jiang Haiyang carefully avoided the battlefield, still finding it unbelievable: "It's just makeup, Second Sister said it's just makeup, how could it be so magical?"
"The person is still the same, but why do their eyes seem bigger, their nose higher, and their mouth seems to be smiling even when they're not?"
"That's amazing! How did Second Sister manage to do that?"
Inside the house.
Lu Xiangyang wrapped Jiang Jianni up tightly in his military overcoat and said in a low voice, "Why are you dressed up so nicely?"
I really don't want them to see this!
Jiang Jianni looked around smugly and said, "Isn't it pretty? I thought it wasn't pretty because you weren't saying anything."
Lu Xiangyang sighed, "It's so beautiful, so beautiful that I'm speechless."
Jiang Jianni chuckled and pressed him down into a chair: "Come on, let me give you a magic trick!"
Lu Xiangyang panicked immediately, not even remembering that Jiang Jianni had called herself his older sister:
"No, no, no, no, no, makeup is for women. It's not appropriate for a grown man like me to put on makeup!"
Jiang Jianni smiled slightly, cupped his face in her hands, looked into his eyes, and asked earnestly, "Then, can you compromise for me just this once?"
