Yanshi, Shaohua Island.
The sea breeze is gentle, and the seawater is azure.
The members of the Qingbei team were stunned by the lavish wedding decorations as they stepped off the ferry.
Five stages were set up, with the central stage being the most luxurious, arranged symmetrically. White, blue, and pink gauze curtains were interspersed, and flowers and candles were harmoniously arranged, blending seamlessly with the vast beach and seascape.
Thirty-two rectangular food tables were set up on the beach. The seafood was plump and plentiful. Each rectangular food table also had a beverage station arranged side by side.
Pear jam was placed on each food and beverage station...
Nearly a hundred tables were set up not far from the stage, and even the chairs were engraved with the guests' names, showing that everything at the wedding, including the tables and chairs, was custom-made.
A row of parasols was set up on the beach as a rest area. Guests gathered in small groups, enjoying the sea breeze.
Lu Yu jogged towards his teammates from the Qingbei team.
Lu Yu's shoulder-length black hair was styled into a bun, with two sparkling diamond butterflies adorning either side of the bun. Although the veil had not yet been placed over it, Lu Yu, running in the sunlight, still possessed a unique beauty.
It was a vibrant beauty, like the sea breeze on the beach, soothing the soul.
Suppressing her excitement, Chu Feiyu gently hugged Lu Yu. "Sister Yu, you're so beautiful! Can we take a picture together?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Of course, there are professional photographers on the island."
Lu Yu glanced into the distance and gestured towards the beach, "The people wearing brown name tags on their chests are the photography instructors. You can find one of them to take photos for us later, and you can also ask them to take photos for you when you're playing on the beach this afternoon."
Lu Yu greeted Coach Wang again and then gestured for everyone to sit at their respective tables. "The ceremony won't start for another hour, so please make yourselves at home."
As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, Chu Feiyu pulled him aside to take a picture.
Lu Yu didn't stay with her teammates for long. After saying goodbye, she returned to the bride's dressing room.
The only sound in the closed dressing room was Jiao Yuyin and Lu Yu's whispered conversation.
“Indeed, many of the older members of the Jiao family who have worked with them for a long time are reminded of the pear jam, and there is a lot of regret.” As Lu Yu spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, almost a whisper. “There is one person who is rather strange.”
Jiao Yuyin stared intently at Lu Yu's lips as they opened and closed, his expression unreadable.
Lu Yu said in a steady tone, "He didn't look very old, maybe in his forties. He was thinking of your mother when he saw the pear jam. His thoughts were all jumbled up at the time, so I couldn't hear him completely. I just feel that this timeline doesn't quite match his age."
"What's your name?" Jiao Yuyin asked, his breathing slow.
"Tao Peng, silver-white name tag."
There was no sound at all...
After a long silence, Jiao Yuyin's deep voice came: "The silver-white name tag belongs to the head of the Jiao family's mining branch. Tao Peng... pay attention to his thoughts today."
Jiao Yuyin took out a tissue and wiped away the few beads of sweat that had seeped from Lu Yu's forehead.
Lu Yu found a hint of tenderness in Jiao Yuyin's movements and eyes. For a moment, she wondered if this man had a second personality.
"Ariana, come to the dressing room." Jiao Yuyin's voice on the phone interrupted Lu Yu's wandering thoughts.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Jiao Yuyin got up and opened the door. "Ariana, touch up her makeup. The ceremony is about to start. I'll go outside first."
Jiao Yuyin just turned around and left...
Not a single word of praise. He really is as unkind as ever! I must have just imagined it.
Lu Yu stared at the mirror, letting her thoughts wander freely.
...
The veil fluttered, and the butterflies on her hair bun were faintly visible beneath the white veil.
The oath was carried on the sea breeze.
The kiss was met with prolonged applause.
This time, Lu Yu no longer stood there blankly as punishment after the kiss; she even gave a little response.
After the kiss ended, Lu Yu's face was flushed, and she looked like a shy bride.
Only Jiao Yuyin and Lu Yu knew the truth: what she was doing was...
I was holding it in.
Jiao Yuyin gently embraced the person in front of him.
"You still can't breathe... If I don't stop, you're going to suffocate." Jiao Yuyin squeezed out a breathy sound through his teeth, tickling Lu Yu's earlobe.
Lu Yu's face seemed to turn even redder...
The ceremony concluded. The song and dance performances began simultaneously on five stages.
It was more of a business gathering than a wedding.
The guests sat, stood, walked, or stopped. They gathered in twos and threes, talking about business matters.
Jiao Yuyin led Lu Yu around, exchanging pleasantries with the guests. As if by accident, he strolled leisurely and eventually walked over to Tao Peng.
"Uncle Song, it's been so many years since I've seen you. You're still so healthy." Jiao Yuyin said to an old man not far from Tao Peng.
“I retired a few years ago and now I just enjoy raising flowers and fish, haha. Time flies, in the blink of an eye you're all married. It feels like I just saw you playing around with snow pits when you were a kid.”
"That was so many years ago, back when my mom was still alive, and I was having so much fun..."
"Sigh... The poor little thing from twenty years ago now has someone who cares about him. On this joyous occasion, let's not talk about these things." The old man's eyes gleamed.
A few words of conversation brought out Tao Peng's intense feelings.
Lu Yu's fingers were icy cold as she hooked them around Jiao Yuyin's elbow.
Even through the fabric of his suit, Jiao Yuyin could clearly feel Lu Yu's fingertips trembling slightly...
