Congratulations (Extra)
In a high-end internet-famous restaurant in the center of Jin City, Chen Songxue sat by the window, his fingers tapping quickly on the phone keyboard. When he saw his younger brother on the other end reply "We're here", he immediately put down the phone and stared at the restaurant entrance enthusiastically.
Not long after, Chen Songyan, dressed in a black suit, walked in hand in hand with Wen Jing, who was dressed in a beige dress. The handsome man and beautiful woman instantly attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.
Chen Songxue immediately waved to the people.
Chen Songyan walked over with Wen Jing, and Chen Songxue went over to take Wen Jing's arm, then turned to Chen Songyan and said, "You've finally figured it out. You're dressed like a real person."
"Didn't you ask me to wear something fancy so as not to embarrass you?"
Chen Songxue kept smiling, secretly reached out and pinched his arm hard, and finally brought Wen Jing to his side.
"Xiao Wen looks so beautiful today. Her dress is pretty and her hair is tied up nicely." She praised sincerely.
Wen Jing's hair has grown longer now, and she has tied it into a low bun with tassels. Paired with the French-style ruffled dress she wore today to cover the teeth marks on her shoulders, she looks quite gentle and lovely.
"Really? Chen Songyan's hair is tied up." Wen Jing said.
Chen Songxue was surprised: "He has this skill?"
"I was looking for a video for him to learn on the spot, which took some time and made my sister wait for a long time."
“Xiao Wen, don’t be so polite to me. It doesn’t matter if you just clean up and come.”
"No, this restaurant is said to have a very long line every day. I've always wanted to come but never had the chance. You must have put a lot of effort into getting here, so I can't just be perfunctory."
Chen Songxue hugged her and said, "Our Xiao Wen is really nice. Unlike someone else, if I hadn't reminded him, he would have just put on a T-shirt and come here today."
In Chen Songxue's eyes, although her brother is handsome, his aesthetic taste is really poor. If she doesn't help him choose clothes, he will dress himself like the world's biggest bumpkin.
Wen Jing also smiled: "Don't worry, sister. I put all his clothes together for him now. I won't let him wear anything else."
In fact, now whenever he goes out with her, Chen Songyan will choose the clothes he should wear according to her outfit, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Chen Songyan listened to the two of them talking bad about him without refutation. In his heart, he was quite happy to see his sister and girlfriend being so close.
Chen Songxue is a well-known internet celebrity. It is said that this time she was invited by a certain brand to come to the gold market with a group of other internet celebrities to shoot an offline joint video.
"There are a few male internet celebrities. Oh my God, they look gentle, well-behaved and handsome online, but they are terrible in private!" Chen Songxue complained. When she mentioned their names, Wen Jing suddenly realized that she was following several of them.
"I think they have been severely beaten since childhood. If Chen Songyan becomes like this, I can beat him into a pig's head!" Chen Songxue glared at Chen Songyan hatefully, as if he had become such a person.
"Then I didn't become like this, and you beat me a lot."
"You've got the cause and effect wrong, brother. If I hadn't hit you, you wouldn't be where you are now." Chen Songxue crossed her arms and raised her chin towards Wen Jing. "It's impossible for you to find a girlfriend like our Xiao Wen."
When she said this, Chen Songyan was very unconvinced: "How is that possible?"
"Heh." Chen Songxue sneered, and Chen Songyan had a bad feeling.
"When you were seven years old, you blew up the bowl that the neighboring grandmother's dog was eating from, spilling dog food all over the yard. The grandmother stood at the door and scolded you for the whole day. Later, your mother bought a new bowl and brought it to the neighbor's house, offering both money and an apology."
Chen Songyan: “…”
Wen Jing:O_o
"When you were nine, you led a group of kids from the village to climb a three-story building that hadn't been dismantled yet. You were the only one who could get down. Then you stole food and blankets from the family and used them to coax the kids into sleeping on the roof with you. The whole village was so sleepless that they were trying to find the kids that they almost didn't get any sleep."
Chen Songyan:⊙﹏⊙
Wen Jing: *^_^*
"During the Spring Festival of the same year, you nearly blinded the neighbor's child in order to show off your toy gun skills."
Chen Songyan: "Okay, I admit it, don't say anymore!"
Wen Jing put on a fake smile and looked at Chen Songxue: "Sister, I want to know how you treated him well."
Chen Songxue demonstrated on the spot: "I will give him a flying kick first, then two slaps, and finally let him starve!"
Wen Jing kept smiling: "I should kick him twice, go hungry twice, and make up 6."
Chen Songxue reacted for two seconds, then suddenly put her hands on her waist and laughed so hard that she fell backwards, attracting the attention of many people in the restaurant.
"Xiao Wen, how could a treasure like you fall in love with Chen Songyan?" She asked Wen Jing while wiping her tears after laughing.
Wen Jing: "Sister, if you say a few more words, I will have to rethink my relationship with Chen Songyan."
Chen Songyan suddenly became anxious: "Sister!"
Seeing him getting angry, Chen Songxue coughed and said, "Ah, actually, except when he gets into trouble, he's very well behaved the rest of the time. He even helps the third grandma next door feed the pigs, catch the chickens, and collect eggs! He's the first one to help anyone who has a problem. He's so popular. He does all the housework at home, too. I don't really interfere."
"Once, I had an argument with him, and impulsively tore up his finished summer homework. He was so angry that he cried and ignored me for several days. It happened to be radish season at that time, and I was playing with my friends in the square when I saw him running towards me with a bunch of radishes. He didn't call out to me, just stood there. My friends went to ask him for radishes, and there was one that was really big and sweet, but he held it down and wouldn't let them take it, saying he was saving it for his sister."
Chen Songxue said with a smile on his face: "I suddenly didn't want to be angry with him anymore, so I called his name. He came over awkwardly and stuffed the carrot into my hand."
The childhood of children in the countryside is colorful. The life of the brother and sister is chaotic but also enjoyable. Unconsciously, she told Wen Jing a lot.
Wen Jing was able to describe Chen Songyan's growth portrait from her sister's few words, and suddenly understood why he grew up to be what he is now.
Finally, Chen Songxue said: "Well, Chen Songyan is actually okay, right?"
Wen Jing grinned, her smile sincere: "That's great, sister deserves credit for it."
The meal was very pleasant. At the end, Wen Jing invited Chen Songxue to her place. Chen Songxue waved her hand and said that the brand had arranged a free five-star hotel for her, so it would be a waste if she didn't stay.
Before leaving, she turned around and called out to the two of them.
"Chen Songyan, come to my hotel tomorrow to pick up some of the specialties my mom made. She made them especially for Xiao Wen. I didn't bring any today because I had work."
After saying that, he turned to Wen Jing and said, "My mother is obsessed with you now. It's like she can't wait for you and Chen Songyan to get married right here."
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. However, there's no rush to get married. I probably won't give it much thought until I'm 28."
After Wen Jing finished speaking, Chen Songyan and Chen Songxue were both stunned.
Chen Songxue was the first to react: "It's okay, this is normal. Young people nowadays tend to marry later in life, and it's indeed more appropriate. Like me, I'm almost 26 and still single. I might still be single when I'm 28!"
Having said that, she was a little worried.
Getting married after 28 is nothing, but her brother and Wen Jing have been together since the end of 18. Do they have to continue dating until they are 28?
Will nothing unexpected happen during this period?
Although marriage does not mean there will be no changes, but not considering marriage for ten years, does it mean that Wen Jing still has many concerns about his younger brother?
Of course, she was not the only one who thought so. From the moment Chen Songyan heard these words, he felt as if a thorn had grown in his heart.
Just before this meal, Wen Jing was still telling him that she felt insecure.
However, she said she would not consider marrying herself until she is 28 years old.
At the age of 28, they have been in love for ten years.
During these ten years, she didn't want to marry him at all.
At night, the two of them were lying on the bed watching a movie. Wen Jing found that Chen Songyan, who always liked to discuss the plot with her, didn't say a word from beginning to end, so she paused the movie.
After about a minute of pause, Chen Songyan finally reacted and asked her why she stopped watching.
Wen Jing looked at him and said, "I should be the one asking you this. What's going on? You haven't been in a good mood since you came back last night."
"Is there?"
"Very much." Wen Jing turned over and looked at him.
Under the light and shadow reflected by the projector, Chen Songyan's expression was gloomy and there was no curve at the corners of his mouth.
He said softly: "Wen Jing, don't you want to marry me?"
Don’t you even have any ideas?
"How come?" Wen Jing asked him.
"But you said you wouldn't consider getting married before you're 28. Wen Jing, do you want to date me for ten years?"
So that's why.
She sighed and said in a low voice: "You know, my parents had a failed marriage."
Chen Songyan's hands around her waist froze.
"It's not that I don't want to marry you, but I don't want to get married to you at such a rash age. I'm afraid our marriage will end up like that. Everyone says that 28 is the beginning of maturity. I think, perhaps only then, can we maintain a relatively stable and happy marriage."
Chen Songyan was speechless. He hugged her and comforted her: "I was selfish. I won't put pressure on you and I will respect your opinion. Even if you don't plan to get married, I support you."
He will prove with his actions that he will never let her down.
Wen Jing was slightly surprised. Chen Songyan really was always giving her surprises today.
Who wouldn't want to get married? She even wants to tie him to her side.
The problem was that the fortune teller said she should get married after she turned 28. She checked online and was told that marrying late would mean getting divorced if she married early.
hehe.
A bad fate and early marriage will lead to divorce. It is not easy for her to change this situation.
But fortunately, the melon was sweet and squeezed towards her, so she had to twist.
It was Gua who started it first, Wen Jing thought.
Ten years is just a blink of an eye.
In the summer at the end of his 27th year, doctoral student Xiao Wen studied hard for a year with almost no rest, while Xiao Chen had been teaching at a well-known high school in Jin City for a year.
One Saturday, Wen Jing finished an exchange meeting and was lying exhausted in a hotel in another province when she received a call from Chen Songyan.
Xiao Wen was exhausted after a year of studying for his doctorate, while Xiao Chen was still full of energy after a year of working and had no office atmosphere at all.
Xiao Chen's lively voice came from the other end: "This week, a girl in another class I teach wrote me a love letter. Xiao Wen, you know what? At that moment, I felt my teaching certificate flashing."
Wen Jing was amused by him and asked him how he dealt with it.
"Of course it's handled seriously! I've already ordered a sweatshirt and a wig online, and I'll wear them to class from now on."
Wen Jing burst out laughing and reminded him: "Remember to change it when you get home."
Chen Songyan was silent for a while and said, "But Xiao Wen is not going home."
There was a hint of resentment in the voice.
After Wen Jing started her doctorate, she spent much more time in the dormitory than at home. In addition, Chen Songyan also had to go to work, so the two of them were rarely together.
As a miserable doctoral student with no weekends or winter or summer vacations, Wen Jing felt helpless.
She sighed and said, "I'll have some free time during my birthday. I'll take you somewhere then."
Chen Songyan on the other end said "OK" softly, looking very obedient.
Wen Jing's lips curled up, and she felt that the hardship of the day had lessened a lot. She had an idea and suddenly said to Chen Songyan on the other end:
"What is Xiao Chen doing?"
"Get ready to take a shower and rest."
"Don't wash yet." Wen Jing said.
Chen Songyan expressed doubts.
Wen Jing chuckled.
Chen Songyan on the other end had expected this and his ears turned red.
Wen Jing sighed deeply: "I'm alone in the hotel, it's so lonely! I really want to hug Xiao Chen and make love with her. But what should I do if Xiao Chen is not around?"
Chen Songyan's voice was a little hoarse: "What do you want to do, Xiao Wen?"
Wen Jing laughed again, then lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Chen, can you please tell me?"
There was silence on the other end for a few moments. Wen Jing heard a sigh, and then someone asked, "Are you wearing headphones?"
"Um."
"Then I'll begin."
"Remember to think about Xiao Wen."
"Besides...you, who else can I miss?"
…
On Wen Jing's 28th birthday, the weather was sunny, suitable for traveling and □□.
After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wen Jing was in the best mood ever. A few days ago, she finally published her first article in Nature, achieving an important goal in her life. Now, she has achieved another important goal.
After walking almost 500 meters with the person in hand excitedly, Wen Jing realized that the person next to her had not spoken. She turned her head and saw Chen Songyan looking dazed, holding the little red book he had just received in his hand, his eyes seemed to be glued to it.
Wen Jing teased him, "What's wrong? When I asked you to bring your ID with you today, you came without even asking. It's too late to regret it now."
Chen Songyan looked up at her: "I didn't expect you would... I haven't even proposed yet."
It turns out that when she said she wouldn't consider getting married before she was 28, she meant she would get married immediately at 28.
Wen Jing stood on tiptoe and kissed him: "Alright, alright, we've been married for ten years, so we don't need to bother with these things. Besides, even if you ask for it, we can ask for it after we get the marriage certificate."
"But……"
"But I feel much more at ease after getting the certificate, so don't say buts!" Wen Jing touched his with the tip of her nose.
Chen Songyan was stunned: "You mean, getting married with me makes you feel at ease?"
"yes."
She has reached the age for late marriage, and she has already obtained a marriage certificate with Chen Songyan. It is unlikely that his true love will appear again.
Chen Songyan suddenly held her legs and picked her up: "I'm glad that you can feel at ease."
No matter how hasty it is, her thoughts are more important.
As for the proposal, he would consider it later.
He tilted his head back and gave her a long kiss.
Wen Jing arrived at the checkpoint, just a few minutes before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed, and the process was very quick.
Walking hand in hand along the sparkling river, Wen Jing shook the strong and thin arm of the man beside her, her heart filled with sweetness.
An old man's voice came to my ears: "We met when we were young, and we will grow old together. It's a match made in heaven."
Wen Jing looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with his eyes almost closed sitting in the pavilion next to them, muttering to them.
"Grandpa, are you talking about us?" Chen Songyan asked the old man loudly.
The old man didn't answer directly, but only said: "Young man, live happily ever after. Without accumulating merits and cultivating together over many lifetimes, it is rare for you to have a happy marriage in this life."
Wen Jing ran over and asked, "Grandpa, are you saying that we are not destined to be together?"
"Bad fate? What is bad fate?"
"That's when two people get together, influence each other, and lose their minds and themselves?"
"You guys?"
Wen Jing was stunned.
She suddenly realized that she had been affected by the fortune teller's words until now, and had no idea that she and Chen Songyan had nothing to do with the ill-fated relationship he talked about!
Therefore, they are not doomed to fail at all!
“Trust others, trust yourself.”
After the old man said this, he ignored them and started muttering to himself again with shaking hands.
"Let's go." Chen Songyan called her.
Wen Jing looked at him and suddenly remembered the portrait of her future wife that Chen Songyan had described many years ago, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.
"Chen Songyan." she shouted.
Chen Songyan looked at her in confusion.
The sunset glow in the sky was like fire, and the warm and quiet woman in front of me had spring in her eyes and a bright smile on her lips:
"Congratulations, you've successfully married a beautiful, rich woman."
