After the rain cleared, Jiang Yu and Qi Nuan went to the bustling downtown area to buy items needed for their wedding.
They are about to get married, and the proper ceremony is essential, even without any other witnesses.
But heaven and earth are their witnesses, and they will belong to each other forever.
The market was bustling with people, and Qi Nuan looked around, lively and energetic.
She was as happy as a child, and looking at her, Jiang Yu felt as if the two of them had returned to the time they spent in Shangjun.
Even if these are just illusions conjured up by the two of them, as long as they believe them to be real, then they are real.
"Ayu, come here quickly."
Qi Nuan waved to Jiang Yu, who looked at her and saw a clothing store in front of her.
It was filled with gorgeous costumes and wedding attire.
Is it pretty?
Qi Nuan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, asked Jiang Yu with a smile as the time passed.
"nice."
The girl's eyes sparkled with a gentle, flowing light, and her gaze towards him seemed to hold endless tenderness. Her own name emerged from between her red lips and white teeth, and even her not-so-pleasant name seemed to sound exceptionally beautiful.
He loved every smile and frown of hers.
Her bright red wedding dress made her look even more radiant and beautiful.
She saw the joy in his eyes and decided to buy the wedding dress, but Jiang Yu stopped her. Qi Nuan was puzzled.
This wedding dress is beautiful, but she deserves something better.
"I have already prepared your wedding dress, and I am just waiting for the day you marry me."
Yeah?
Qi Nuan didn't ask any more questions, but she was incredibly curious. However, seeing that Jiang Yu didn't seem to be planning to take it out right now, she didn't delve into it further, but instead felt a sense of anticipation.
After the couple bought everything they needed for the wedding, they began decorating the wedding venue.
She enjoys the feeling of doing things herself, especially with Ah Yu, which gives her a real and warm feeling.
All the items in the room had been changed to a festive bright red, and the bright red wedding quilt was covered with peanuts and nuts. There were two dragon and phoenix candles burning brightly on the candlesticks.
The intertwined green branches are draped with crimson gauze, tied every five steps and loosely strung every ten, drifting gently in the breeze like wisps of crimson clouds.
The large red "囍" characters on the doors and windows made the courtyard look festive and lively in the quiet twilight.
Fiery red auspicious clouds swirled in the sky, casting golden light upwards, which fell through the intertwined branches onto the two people in the courtyard.
The two had already changed into bright red wedding robes.
The two stood facing each other. Jiang Yu, dressed in a red robe, had his sculpted, handsome features softened under the golden light, with only his dark eyes appearing even more intense.
He pursed his lips tightly, his gaze fixed on Qi Nuan.
Qi Nuantong was also dressed in a gorgeous red robe, but this bright red wedding dress was made by Jiang Yu herself.
Colorful gold threads outlined the flowing light like clouds in the sky, shining brightly on the bright red wedding dress, which was covered with an extremely soft and thin scarlet gauze.
A phoenix belt made of flowing clouds cinched her waist, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure. As she stood there, the hem of her skirt swayed gently in the breeze, making her even more beautiful.
She wasn't wearing a bridal veil, nor had she covered her face with a red headscarf. She met Jiang Yu's eyes and saw herself reflected in them.
Her face, which was usually unadorned, now had lightly drawn eyebrows, a touch of rouge on her lips, and a faint blush on her cheeks, giving her a fair complexion with a rosy glow. Her eyes and brows curved, making her look nothing like a shy bride-to-be.
Only a joyful heart and a serious and solemn expression hidden in the eyes.
The two faced each other, neither moving an inch.
They are waiting, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.
But then the sky suddenly changed dramatically, and the red clouds that had filled the sky were swept away by the rapidly approaching dark clouds.
Suddenly, the voice of the puppet behind them also rang out.
[The auspicious time has arrived! Music begins! Kneel! Offer incense, offer incense a second time, offer incense a third time! Bow your head, bow your head again, bow your head a third time!]
The red candles crackled and hissed, their flickering flames casting a faint glow in the gradually darkening room.
In a short while, dark clouds turned the sky black, a strong wind rose, and the red silk was blown about by the wind along with the music.
[Bowing to Heaven and Earth!]
The two knelt down slowly as the puppet's voice rang out, ignoring the wind sweeping past them.
Time seemed to pass both incredibly slowly and incredibly quickly, and both of them felt exceptionally calm.
[Husband and wife bow to each other!]
After the two finished their final actions, Jiang Yu helped Qi Nuan up.
[The ceremony is complete; take the oath!]
The puppet's voice rang out again.
Jiang Yu looked at Qi Nuan, and Qi Nuan looked back at her. Both of them had very firm eyes, and their hands were clasped tightly together, interlaced, between their red dresses.
"I, Jiang Yu, swear on my soul..."
"Boom..." With a deafening clap of thunder, the rain poured down.
But this did not stop Jiang Yu from making the oath; amidst the lightning and thunder, the two men's resolute faces were exceptionally clear.
"Heaven and earth bear witness that I now take this woman as my wife, cherish her as my own flesh and blood, protect her from all suffering, and be with her forever, never to be separated from her."
Jiang Yu solemnly and earnestly declared.
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Qi Nuan said, "I, Qi Nuan, swear by my soul, with heaven and earth as my witness..."
As Qi Nuan finished speaking, the puppet's voice rang out loudly.
"The ceremony is complete; escort them to the bridal chamber!"
Jiang Yu tidied Qi Nuan's wind-blown hair and brought it behind her back.
By this time, both of their clothes were soaked by the heavy rain, and their once flowing long hair clung tightly to their bodies.
Both of them had stray hairs stuck to their faces, and although they looked somewhat disheveled, their eyes shone remarkably brightly in the dark rain.
Even after being soaked by the rain, the magnificent wedding dress still retained its exquisite beauty.
However, the overly wide skirt somewhat restricted Qi Nuan's movements.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu picked her up in one go. Qi Nuan wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms were exceptionally strong, and Qi Nuan always felt so safe and secure in his embrace.
Qi Nuan placed one hand on his neck and played with the raindrops that had gathered on his chin with the other, her fingers lightly tracing his skin.
It slowly moved down to his sliding Adam's apple.
He paused, his eyes fixed on the person in his arms.
Meeting his dark, inky eyes, the girl's interest remained undiminished; instead, her actions became even more excessive, her slender, jade-like fingers applying slight pressure to his prominent Adam's apple.
Her eyes were fixed on his eyes, trying to discern all the hidden emotions within them.
The distance from the courtyard to the house wasn't very far, but Jiang Yu felt like she had walked a long way.
He withdrew his gaze, no longer looking into the girl's slightly playful eyes, but every smile and frown of hers remained vivid in his mind's eye.
He was neither a saint nor a god without desires.
Qi Nuan, seemingly sensing something, blushed slightly and stopped looking at him. Suddenly, she became a little nervous.
