The following day, Chen met with both sets of parents.
Only then did Xiang's father realize that the soldier Shen Muzhi had mentioned was actually Commander Shen, a figure they had only ever seen on television during military parades, who was now standing right in front of them.
Moreover, Commander Shen was very polite. He sincerely apologized to them, saying that he had failed to properly educate his son and had not disciplined Shen Muzhi.
Xiang's parents naturally assumed he was referring to the unmarried pregnancy, and waved their hands repeatedly, wanting to say that their daughter was also at fault. Before they could speak, Shen Muzhi spoke first, sincerely reiterating his desire to marry Xiang Zhilan.
The two families enjoyed a harmonious meal together. Seeing how well Bo Qingyun took care of Zhi Lan during the meal, Xiang Ma felt relieved.
When a woman gets married, what she wants is for her husband to love her and for her in-laws to be harmonious, especially her mother-in-law.
Bo Qingyun is such a rare mother-in-law.
Moreover, Shen Muzhi doesn't live with the Shen family elders, so their marriage is practically perfect.
The only thing that made Xiang's mother a little uneasy was that Shen Muzhi's family background was too good. Her family was just an ordinary family, and she wondered if their different values would cause friction in the future.
However, her daughter is very adaptable and likable, so she should be able to integrate into the Shen family environment quickly.
After the two families finalized some matters, Shen Muzhi drove Xiang's parents back home, and Xiang Zhilan naturally went back with them.
Xiang's parents meant that Zhilan should move in after the wedding.
Although Shen Muzhi was somewhat reluctant, he still had to respect his parents-in-law's wishes. The wedding was in a month, and it was reasonable for the two elders to be reluctant to part with their daughter and to want her to stay at home longer.
From then on, Xiang Zhilan began to stay at home to rest during her pregnancy. Not only would her mother cook delicious food for her every day, but Shen Muzhi would also bring her supplements every few days.
In just half a month, she gained three or four pounds.
By mid-May, the weather was already getting a bit warm; a thin long-sleeved shirt was all you needed to go out.
Today is Ni Sitian's official graduation day, and Xu Tingchuan drove her to school.
After putting on her graduation gown, Ni Sitian took photos with several close classmates and then took pictures around the school.
Xu Tingchuan followed her with his camera; she took pictures of the school scenery and her classmates, and he took pictures of her.
Ni Sitian walked to a large locust tree, turned around and waved to Xu Tingchuan, "Come over here quickly."
Xu Tingchuan approached and asked with a faint smile, "What's wrong?"
Ni Sitian handed his camera to a female classmate who was passing by and asked, "Could you please take a picture for us?"
The female classmate nodded. Ni Sitian pulled Xu Tingchuan under the locust tree and said to him, "I heard that if a man and a woman can hug this locust tree perfectly, then the couple will be happy together forever. Let's try it."
Xu Tingchuan naturally didn't believe in these things, but as long as she liked it, that was fine with him. He went to the other side of the tree and opened his arms.
Ni Sitian also opened her arms and felt for Xu Tingchuan's hand on the tree trunk. Their hands were just the right size to clasp together.
They turned to look at the camera together. Ni Sitian smiled radiantly, while Xu Tingchuan smiled calmly. White locust blossoms drifted down gently. The photo captured the moment, a breathtakingly beautiful scene that conveyed a sense of happiness.
"Thank you, classmate," Ni Sitian said gratefully, taking back her camera to check how the photos turned out. Seeing how many pictures of her had been taken, she chuckled and playfully scolded, "When did you take these sneaky photos?"
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly and patted her head. Meanwhile, the other students had already started calling Ni Sitian over to take the graduation group photo.
