Chapter 86 Love is the greatest thing in the world...
The anniversary of Ye Qingfei's death approached, and this time He Jing brought Chen Zan with him, and together they went to the cemetery to visit her. It had rained the night before, and the air was fresh. The trees in the cemetery were lush green, their leaves as clean as if they had been washed. Even the paved stone paths were still muddy.
Along the way, they held hands and never let go of each other. Chen Zan held a bouquet of flowers in her arms and followed He Jingsui carefully.
When Chen Zan went to meet He Jingsui's mother, he was a little nervous and his palms were sweating, which was noticed by He Jingsui.
He turned his head to look at her, his eyes falling on her slightly pursed lips.
Noticing her little mood, He Jingsui curled the corners of his lips slightly, and pinched her fingertips with the fingers holding her hand, "What's wrong?"
Coming back to her senses from the nervousness, Chen Zan was stunned for a moment, turned her head to meet He Jingsui's gaze, and subconsciously wanted to say, "No..."
"Are you nervous about meeting my mom?"
This time Chen Zhan didn't say anything.
Silence is an answer.
Knowing his guess was correct, He Jing chuckled and comforted her, "Why are you so nervous? My mother doesn't eat people."
This comfort didn't work, instead it made Chen Zan's heart pound. "You don't understand, I'm just very nervous."
Although their meeting was somewhat special, the other party was still his elder after all. Chen Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath.
How could one not be nervous about meeting one's parents? Knowing they were coming today, she started struggling with her wardrobe early in the morning to choose an outfit, wondering whether to go simple or formal.
She still hasn't calmed down that mood. Even with He Jingsui by her side, she still can't suppress her raging heart.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just taking you to meet someone." The hand holding her hand used some strength. He Jing then curled his lips to her, trying his best to give her a sense of security, "Don't worry, Mom will like you."
The cobblestone road was not clean after the rain. The soil was wet from the rain and stuck to the soles of Chen Zan's shoes, just like the heavy caution stuck to her heart, so difficult to break free.
Chen Zan still remembered that she had met Ye Qingfei before. On the desk in He Jingsui's bedroom, she had seen a photo of He Jingsui and her. She was gentle, beautiful, and graceful, with such a gentle smile that was unforgettable at first sight.
Just like Ye Qingfei’s smile on the tombstone at this moment.
Chen Zan held flowers in her arms and stood obediently in front of Ye Qingfei's grave. She looked at the woman in the photo, with gentle eyebrows and a beautiful face when she smiled, who was somewhat similar to the man next to her.
Her name and He Jingsui's name were engraved on the tombstone, nothing else.
"Mom, we're here to see you."
Chen Zhan squatted down and placed the bouquet of flowers next to the tombstone. She stood up, smiled slightly, and introduced herself to the woman in the photo. "Hello, Auntie. My name is Chen Zhan, and I'm He Jingsui's fiancée."
When she said this, the two of them held each other's hands tacitly, their fingers tightly intertwined without any gap.
They held each other's hands as if they were holding the whole world.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I will continue to walk with him in the future. He Jingsui will not be alone anymore. He will have me in the future, and we will have a very happy family."
Her voice was gentle, and she spoke slowly and confidently, every word she said.
He Jing turned his head to look at her, his gaze fixed on her curved lips and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
They will have a home in the future, a very happy home.
It was the girl he loved who gave him a home.
He Jingsui's brows relaxed, and the corners of his lips curved unrestrainedly. The deep affection in his pupils was completely drowned in the sea where Chen Zan was, and he was unwilling to struggle anymore.
He held her hand tightly and said solemnly to the woman in front of him who was far away from them, "I wanted to bring her to meet you five years ago, but a lot of things happened in the meantime and I didn't have time. But it's not too late now, Mom. You don't have to worry about me anymore. She is very good and loves me very much. If you were still here, you would definitely love her as much as I do. We will be together forever."
After leaving the cemetery, they didn't rush home.
Chen Zan held He Jingsui's hand and walked along the street with him bored. A cool breeze blew, shaking off the water droplets on the green leaves, which fell into the puddles on the side of the road, creating circles of ripples.
They walked through the ripples.
Thinking of what He Jingsui had said just now in the cemetery, Chen Zhan turned to look at him. The man's profile was tough, his eyebrows and eyes expressionless. He noticed her gaze from the corner of his eye, and he calmly turned his head to look at her, "Do you have something to tell me?"
There is indeed something to say.
Chen Zhan pursed his lips and asked him, "You just told Auntie that you wanted to bring me to see her five years ago?"
"Um."
"How could I not know?" Chen Zhan's voice was filled with subtle amusement, deliberately teasing him, "You're not making this up, are you?"
"Isn't it normal to have this kind of thought?" That means, "Do I still need to edit it?"
The smile on the corner of his lips was really hard to suppress. Chen Zhan blinked his eyes, leaned forward and pressed himself against him, asking knowingly, "So you love me so much?"
He Jingsui snorted softly, "Just found out?"
"Not really." Chen Zhan imitated him, "I just wanted to tease you."
I know you love me.
He Jingsui relaxed his brows after she successfully amused him. He didn't let the topic die down in her mouth. "Then you succeeded."
Now that the two of them were discussing marriage, Chen Zan no longer needed to be reserved. She moved all her luggage into He Jingsui's house, intending to officially live together with him, as a way to get used to things after marriage.
He Jingsui's home gradually became lively from being cold. He added dresses of other colors to his wardrobe, and the bathroom also had some more things for washing face and brushing teeth. Even the sofa in the living room had her fluffy blanket.
She was piecing her world and his world together bit by bit.
At night, she lay on He Jingsui's bed and made a voice call with He Shiyi. She told He Shiyi about this, and the latter was surprised, "Really?!"
Chen Zhan was wearing a white cotton and linen nightgown, with her feet dangling in the air. He said to her as if he was just chatting, "Really?"
"So when are you planning to get married?" The voice on the phone seemed even more anxious and excited than me, and volunteered, "I want to be your bridesmaid!"
This matter...
It seems like they haven't mentioned it to each other yet.
When He Shiyi asked her about this unintentionally, Chen Zan found that she actually had some longing for it. She longed for the day in the future when she would wear a white wedding dress and walk towards the man who would spend the rest of her life with her.
Just thinking about that scene made her want to cry with happiness.
But the person on the phone was urging again.
Chen Zhan came back to his senses and said to her, "I don't know yet..."
"I don't know?" He Shiyi said on the phone: "Didn't He Jingsui discuss this with you? Why is he so incompetent..."
As soon as she said this, He Jingsui walked in from outside. He Shiyi's clear and loud voice filled his ears. His eyes paused and he saw the mobile phone in Chen Zan's hand.
His gaze shifted from the phone to Chen Zan's face. Her entire face was fair and smooth under the light.
As if she had not expected him to come, Chen Zan suddenly pushed herself up from the bed and said to He Shiyi on the phone, "It's too late, let's talk next time," and quickly hung up. She stuffed the phone under her pillow as if it were some stolen property.
She crossed her legs, pretending to be calm and sitting quietly, watching him walk towards the bed step by step.
He Jingsui didn't hear everything, so he didn't know exactly what they were talking about.
"Chatting with Shiyi?"
He lifted the quilt and fell asleep with Chen Zhan in his arms. The warm embrace always made her feel at ease.
Chen Zhan reached out and hugged him, nodding in his arms, "Yeah."
"What are you talking about?"
"nothing."
It's almost eleven o'clock now.
He Jing then lowered his eyes to look at the furry head in his arms, "It's so late, aren't you sleepy yet?"
"I'm sleepy." Being by his side, Chen Zan had enough capital to act coquettishly with him.
He Jingsui also fell for her trick and chuckled, "Then why don't you sleep?"
The person in my arms nudged me coquettishly, "I want to sleep with you."
"Spoiled girl." He held her in his arms, and turned off all the lights in the room, leaving only a dim bedside lamp. He patted her back to soothe her to sleep, and just as she was about to fall asleep, He Jingsui suddenly called her, "Zhanzhan."
"Um……"
"When you're free, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage, okay?"
She closed her eyes and nestled in his arms, listening to him carefully. It was like a beautiful dream. She curled her lips sweetly, her voice lazily, "You really want to marry me..."
In the dimly lit room, He Jingsui's eyes were dark and gentle. He looked at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms and felt more at ease than ever before.
He curled his lips and answered her seriously, "Yeah, I really want to."
He used to think that apart from the shooting championship, he had nothing else to ask for in this life. The shooting championship was his belief and also the end of his life. Until Chen Zan appeared, he suddenly realized that his end point had changed.
Faith is just faith, but Chen Zan is the end of his life.
So he said to her, "Zhanzhan, marry me."
The person in his arms groaned twice and frowned. Although he was obviously very tired, he still managed to answer: "It's too late today, I can't marry you tomorrow..."
Amused by her cuteness, He Jingsui held her to sleep, closed his eyes and curled his lips, "Okay... let's sleep..."
The next morning, the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with their household registration books.
The marriage certificate was obtained very smoothly. The seal was stamped on a corner of the wedding photo and handed to them by the staff, one for each of them.
"Congratulations to you two on becoming husband and wife, happy wedding!"
"Thank you." Chen Zhan took it with a smile. Happiness was hard to dissipate from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She turned her head to look at He Jingsui beside her and held his hand. "Let's go."
After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Zan was blinded by the bright sunlight outside. She was still holding the marriage certificate, looking at the photo of her and He Jingsui on it with reluctance.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and the staff who took photos of them praised them as a match made in heaven.
Looking at it this way, it seems to be true.
She was looking at the marriage certificate. The man holding her hand was looking at her, a smile still hanging on his brows. "Is it really that good-looking?"
Chen Zhan nodded happily, "Yes."
She couldn't even bear to look away.
"Okay, let's see when we get home." He let go of her hand and put his arm around her waist. The distance between them was very close. He Jing leaned down slightly, leaned close to her ear, and said softly, "Wife?"
The intimate name made Chen Zan's ears hot, and the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably.
She raised her eyelids and looked at him. Before he could react, Chen Zan broke free from his arms and ran forward.
The trees are lush and green, and the light and shadows sway in the wind.
Chen Zan turned around and waved the marriage certificate in her hand towards He Jingsui. Her smile was bright in the wind.
Her figure standing in the shade of the tree was slender, blurred by the light. Her bright smile seemed to remind him of the moments when they loved each other.
So perfect, so touching.
He ran towards her, and his figure seemed just as high-spirited and energetic as it was many years ago.
With a smile on his face, he caught up with her and held her in his arms from behind.
The two smiled at each other.
The two marriage certificates in their hands were hot from the sun, a symbol of their love.

This story ends here. This was my first time trying to write this type of story, and I was really nervous because I was afraid that I wouldn’t write it well. But actually, Orange Blossom is the best story I have written so far.
The serialization period was a bit difficult, because the updates didn't make much of a splash, and I always felt like my writing wasn't good enough. Luckily, I had a consistent nickname that stayed with me, which made me feel like I was writing well enough. Writing this book was a real joy. I love both Asui and Zhanzhan so much. Because I love them so much, I sometimes blame myself, wondering why my writing skills are still so low, not enough to show you their wonderful selves. I even have plans to work hard on this book after I finish it! But so far, I'm very satisfied with it, and I hope I've lived up to your expectations and continue to grow.
I read your comments on every chapter, and I really appreciate you liking them!
There are a few more short extras later! I'll update the extras in a few days, let me take a break, I'm going to slowly quit TvT
I haven’t actually decided what TVT to write for the next book yet. I feel like Orange Blossom left such a deep impression on me that I can’t think of any other stories.
But as usual, I'll put aside the pre-collection I want to write:
Pre-collected article: Age Difference in "When the Snow Melts"
The day I met Wen Jingyan, it was a winter night and heavy snow was falling.
Su Wanjin's eyes were red, a shadow fell on her head, and a pair of straight legs appeared in her sight.
Su Wanjin looked up, and saw Wen Jingyan in the falling snow.
The man was dressed in a black suit, looking very refined. His eyes behind his glasses looked incredibly deep yet dull in the shadows. He squatted down and carefully wiped the snow off her face.
The gentle voice grabbed all her heartbeats, "They don't want you, I want you."
Those seemingly sentimental but actually dull eyes fell on her face. He stretched out his hand to her and said, "Would you like to come with me?"
…
Wen Jingyan treated her very well. He would run more than ten kilometers away in the middle of the night to buy her favorite strawberry cake, accompany her to the lake to relax, and patiently accompany her as she grew up.
Countless days and nights of meticulous care made Su Wanjin's love for her grow deeper and deeper.
On his birthday, she drank to give herself courage and confessed to him with a blushing face.
That was the first time she saw Wen Jingyan's serious face, and the eyes hidden behind the glasses no longer looked at her as gently as usual.
He pushed her away, kept his distance from her, and shattered all her fantasies with a cold voice, "You are drunk, we are not suitable."
Su Wanjin raised her face stubbornly and asked him, "What's wrong with it?"
The red eyes that were about to burst into tears were very eye-catching. Wen Jingyan curled up his drooping fingers and turned away from her, "You are still young."
That day, Su Wanjin felt hopeless.
…
They met again three years later. The man hurriedly pushed through the dense crowd and came to her side.
The person he had been thinking about day and night was standing in front of him.
Restraining the urge to crush her in his arms, he reached out to her again, cautiously as if he was risking everything.
"Will you come with me?"
When her hand fell into his palm again, his heart was filled with the feeling of regaining what he had lost. On the night drenched by the spring rain, he cherished her and kissed her again and again.
When love reaches its deepest point, he becomes obsessed and greedy.
"Jinjin, can you give me another chance?"
