Chen Jian seemed a little nervous, standing awkwardly at the door. Wang Ping and I kept encouraging him.
I notified Bai Wei and his group this afternoon, and they all arrived, though each of them had their own thoughts on their faces.
However, I couldn't be bothered with them, since this wedding was a joyous occasion after we were stranded on this island.
We've always been so lifeless, always scheming against each other. Today's event is a shot in the arm for anyone, since we all need to have hope for life.
Not long after, Xiao Qiang came out first, which startled Chen Jian so much that he trembled and became extremely nervous.
Wang Ping, standing nearby, teased Chen Jian, "You and Liu Jiaojiao have been together for a while now, why are you still so nervous?"
Chen Jian rolled his eyes at Wang Ping: "What do you know? This is a wedding! Shouldn't you be nervous? After all, how many times in a lifetime can you have such an event?"
Wang Ping chuckled, a hint of envy on his face, and whispered, "Then you must treat her well in the future. Liu Jiaojiao is a good girl."
Chen Jian chuckled and was about to say something more when the door to the room opened again.
Then a girl covered in flowers came out.
And to my surprise, Liu Jiaojiao was wearing makeup.
Her hair was styled in a bun, adorned with many colorful flowers, making her look like a flower fairy. Her lips were rosy and beautiful. She wore a white shirt, but it was unclear what she was wearing underneath. From a distance, it looked like a large wedding dress covered with all sorts of flowers.
It's obvious at a glance that Xiao Qiang and the others must have put in a lot of effort.
Xu Wei leaned close to me and whispered, "We gave Liu Jiaojiao a simple treatment with fruit. See if it looks amazing."
I nodded, because I had never seen Liu Jiaojiao like this before.
At this moment, his face was full of shy smiles, and his eyes, which were filled with light, looked at Chen Jianshi.
It is said that women are most beautiful when they are in love, and I truly feel that now.
Chen Jian, who had been extremely nervous just moments before, now saw that Liu Jiaojiao's eyes were red.
He moved closer to Liu Jiaojiao, looking at her with such excitement that he couldn't speak.
The people around them started to cheer. Finally, Chen Jian hugged Liu Jiaojiao tightly and excitedly declared, "Wife, I will treat you well from now on. I will give you all the best I have!"
Liu Jiaojiao looked at Chen Jian and her eyes also reddened: "Actually, I never thought that love in this life would happen under such circumstances, and that it would come so fiercely. I love you too. I hope that we can be together for a long time, and I also hope that we can all return to the city as soon as possible and live a normal life!"
Finally, amidst our teasing and joking, Chen Jian was led into their little house.
Once inside, I noticed flowers and four kinds of fruit on the table, a wolf skin on the bed, and many red flower petals. Although simple, it exuded a festive atmosphere.
Xiao Qiang looked at Chen Jian and the others with red eyes and said, "Under such difficult circumstances, the lovers finally got married, which is really the happiest thing for us during this period."
The dinner was quite lavish. Apart from Bai Wei, all the other colleagues were present, each bringing a gift.
Finally, they managed to help Chen Jian and Liu Jiaojiao get through this less-than-perfect wedding in one go.
The next morning, before I was even fully awake, Chen Jian brought Liu Jiaojiao to our place to express their gratitude.
Liu Jiaojiao's face was flushed with embarrassment, indicating that her wedding night last night had been perfect.
I called Chen Jian aside and asked him if he had a wonderful time last night. Chen Jian looked at me and chuckled foolishly.
"Thank you so much, Brother Sihai. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Jiaojiao also said that in the next couple of days, the two of us will go out and pick more wild vegetables. We don't have anything else to repay you with, so we can only help you find some food so that you can rest for a few days."
"We don't need to say such things between us. You two just need to take good care of yourselves. But there is something I really want to discuss with you."
I looked at the bracelet on Liu Jiaojiao's wrist. Although it wasn't exquisite, it represented memories of this period and could be considered a very representative gift. I thought about how I could also make some gifts for Xiao Qiang and the others that I could afford.
Wang Xiaoxiao used to have short hair, but in the two months she's been here, her hair has grown quite long.
Because the hair ties they used before had all aged and broken, these women now wear their hair down most of the time.
I suddenly thought, if these jade stones can really be smashed out, why not make a hairpin for each of them?
Anyway, there's plenty of jade available now.
Chen Jian and I hit it off immediately, and that's how we settled on this matter.
For the next few days, we kept going back and forth to the jade mine.
The researchers on the road kept asking what to do. Liu Jiaojiao and the others also said they wanted a jade pillow.
This is a large item, and it needs to be sanded smooth to avoid damage.
However, under such difficult circumstances, it is quite troublesome to polish it to a level that we can accept.
However, hard work pays off. After more than ten days, we finally polished the first jade pillow. Although the shape was a bit strange, the smoothness was acceptable.
Chen Jian was very excited! "It seems like this is a done deal! I think we should make more, like bowls and chopsticks. These things are inexhaustible and much more plentiful than tree branches, mud pots, and walls, right?"
Looking at Chen Jian, I felt that this kid had been blinded by marriage. How could we possibly make something so delicate now?
As we were discussing what to do about this, we saw Xu Wei running towards us from afar, looking at me as she gasped for breath.
"You'd better hurry back. They said they found a body in the forest and suspect it's Lin Xubo. It's a real headache. The mountaintop has been blown up. If it really is Lin Xubo, then this is not a good thing."
Chen Jian chuckled after hearing Xu Wei's words, but his eyes held a nonchalant expression.
"If Lin Xubo really is dead, then it's truly God punishing the wicked. What's the big deal for us? Just throw him away or bury him if he's dead."
Xu Wei listened to Chen Jian's words, but her face remained serious as she shook her head.
"If he had just starved to death or been killed by wild animals, that would be one thing. But the body was headless, and we suspect that the head was cut off with a sharp instrument. That's why everyone is so panicked, because the body isn't far from our cave."
