The voice sounded like a soft, coquettish whisper, making Gu Chengfeng's bones melt.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chengfeng felt as if a mischievous deer was pounding wildly in his heart, making him somewhat flustered.
He heard right!
Sisi finally called him husband!
A sweet, soft "Husband!"
Hearing this address, my body felt as if it had been struck by a faint yet magical electric current.
He was slightly startled; his previously tense heart melted away like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, offering no resistance whatsoever...
Seeing his face flush red, like a fiery sunset, from his ears all the way to his neck, a playful thought arose within her. Her voice, as soft as a feather, carried a hint of coquettishness: "Husband..."
Gu Chengfeng squinted with pleasure as he listened to the two most beautiful words in the world.
He slowly raised his hand, with a careful and cherished look, and gently cupped Chen Sisi's cheek.
Those bent fingers carefully felt her contours, slowly caressing her, like a spring breeze brushing against willow branches.
Time suddenly slowed down at this moment, and everything around was so blurry. Only the two people in front of us were the most real existence.
"Sisi, I'm a rough man, I don't understand romance, but I will spend my whole life being good to you, loving you, spoiling you, and trusting you..."
"I can fight for you when you need me."
When you are tired, I will be your warmest harbor.
"No matter what you do, I hope to be by your side and be your strongest support!"
This wasn't the first time Gu Chengfeng had confessed his feelings, nor was it the first time he'd uttered such cheesy love words, but somehow, as he spoke, his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
Isn't contemplation the same?
From the moment Gu Chengfeng suddenly became serious and made those declarations of love in public, she knew that this man was serious.
“Gu Chengfeng, I don’t need anyone to fight for me. What I want is for us to walk side by side and support each other. Just as you said, you are my warm harbor, and I am your harbor too.”
She paused briefly, took a deep breath as if to give herself more courage, and then continued, "Husband, no matter what storms fate may bring us in the future; no matter how rugged and bumpy the road ahead may be, as long as we are by each other's side, as long as our hands are still tightly clasped together, we will never be separated."
Gu Chengfeng listened quietly to Shen Sisi's words, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up unconsciously.
With slightly moist eyes, I felt not only moved, but also deeply gratified.
He reached out and gently grasped Shen Sisi's warm and strong fingers, as if he wanted to transfer all his strength to her.
"Okay, honey..."
"Wife, let's get married!" Gu Chengfeng's voice was firm and full of expectation.
"Okay, let's get married..."
The wedding of Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng was set for the Lantern Festival, a day of reunion and celebration.
According to traditional custom, Shen Sisi is not allowed to meet the groom before the wedding ceremony, so she temporarily stayed at Gu Changmei's house.
Quietly waiting for the wedding day...
That morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Xu Hongying began busily ordering the two sisters, Gu Wanyin and Gu Qingqian around.
She bustled about, giving orders: "You two, take your spouses and quickly tidy up the courtyard and house. Also, prepare peanuts, melon seeds, candy, tea, and other refreshments for the guests, who will be arriving soon."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wanyin immediately perked up and volunteered to take charge of arranging tasks at home.
She led her husband with great pride and started working hard without saying a word, as if she wanted to renovate the house.
Gu Qingqian, however, wore a disdainful expression, clearly unwilling to comply.
She muttered under her breath, "Mom is so biased. Look at us, when we got married, we didn't have this kind of grandeur. Back then, if she could give us a few quilts, we were already considered very well treated."
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin couldn't help but glare at her, as if scolding an ignorant child: "Come on, why are you complaining so much? Hurry up and get to work, the guests will be here soon."
Although Gu Qingqian was unwilling, there was nothing she could do.
She turned around helplessly and looked at her silly younger brother.
He was grinning foolishly at the air, full of anticipation and happiness for his upcoming wedding.
Gu Qingqian sighed inwardly, immediately letting go of all her grudges: "Never mind, as long as Chengfeng is happy!"
As soon as Gu Chengfeng got up that morning, he changed out of his imposing military uniform and put on a handsome and smart suit.
He stood in front of the mirror, and his reflection looked spirited and exceptionally handsome.
Especially that suit, it seemed tailor-made for him, perfectly fitting his body shape.
His straight lines, extending from his shoulders to his ankles, accentuated his already tall and upright figure, making him appear even more imposing.
Even her hair was meticulously combed.
Everything silently speaks to how much the groom values this wedding.
Gu Chengfeng's eyes were bright and sparkling with excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to imagine Shen Sisi in a red dress, walking gracefully towards him.
He adjusted his tie slightly and took a deep breath.
Today, he and Sisi will enter the hall of marriage with everyone's blessings and witnesses, and spend their lives together from now on.
This feeling is truly amazing...
The girl he fell in love with at first sight when he was young has now become his bedmate, his precious treasure, and the apple of his eye. This feeling of happiness cannot be described in any words.
He turned and walked towards the living room, which had been decorated with festive decorations.
Red ribbons hung all over the room, a large "囍" character was pasted on the wall, and the table was covered with all kinds of candies. The air was filled with the aroma of happiness and sweetness.
Seeing all this, Gu Chengfeng's lips unconsciously curled up. With the time to leave for the wedding approaching and Feng Yanzhou's groomsmen still not appearing, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Will these people let us down at this crucial moment?
Gu Chengfeng walked to the door, looking at the path leading to it, his heart filled with urgency.
Just as he was carrying out his old bicycle, intending to ride it directly to find Shen Sisi, a lively commotion arose outside.
Led by Feng Yanzhou, followed by dozens of young soldiers in green uniforms and wearing bicycles, they formed an impressive cycling team that marched toward him in a grand procession.
"Old Gu!" Feng Yanzhou shouted with a smile, "The brothers are here!"
Looking at the scene before him, Gu Chengfeng felt as if he were witnessing the Great Migration of animals on the African savanna.
"What the hell is going on..." Gu Chengfeng asked in a low voice.
Feng Yanzhou tossed his hair: "What's going on? Going with you to pick up the bride..."
