Su Qinian squeezed her hand and told her not to worry.
Over the years, Lin Jinran had always been cautious and would never do anything to invite criticism.
After Xie Wanyu and Jiang Xiubin finished the morning ceremony, they invited the bridesmaids and groomsmen to have breakfast. It was a lively scene.
At nine in the morning, the group set off from the groom's house in grand style and headed for the wedding hotel. After arriving, Xie Wanyu and Jiang Xiubin went to the dressing room to put on makeup and change clothes.
Xie Wanyu chose a common wedding dress with a large skirt, as white as snow. White roses were embroidered on the skirt, blooming layer upon layer like a flower in full bloom.
Jiang Xiubin was also dressed in a common suit with delicate embroidery on the cuffs. His hair was neatly combed, and when he smiled, his gentle and elegant temperament came over.
Lin Jinran leaned slightly on Su Qinian's shoulder and sighed, "How time flies. They're getting married. It seems like we just graduated yesterday."
"We'll get married soon too." Su Qinian deliberately teased her.
Sure enough, Lin Jinran took the bait. She glared at him angrily, and her cheeks puffed up: "Who wants to marry you? I never said so."
Su Qinian burst into laughter, in a great mood.
At half past eleven noon, the wedding officially began.
Xie Wanyu broke the old convention. Instead of being led by her father to the wedding stage, she chose to walk to the stage with Jiang Xiubin together.
Lin Jinran remembered Xie Wanyu saying like this: "Getting married is a matter between two people. Why should the bride walk towards the groom? Why can't they walk towards the stage together, meeting each other halfway?"
Sitting below, Lin Jinran watched as Xie Wanyu and Jiang Xiubin exchanged wedding rings and kissed each other. Her eyes turned a little red.
What she had always yearned for was a life of two people living in harmony and contentment, a long - lasting relationship.
When she was a child, her mother jumped off a building in front of her eyes, and her father remarried. Lin Jinran especially wanted a happy family.
"Ranran, we'll definitely be very happy in the future." Su Qinian tightened his hold on the girl's hand, interlacing their fingers, and whispered.
Lin Jinran tilted her head and continued to watch the two people on the wedding stage. She didn't say a word, but responded with her action - she tightened her hold on Su Qinian's hand.
Xie Wanyu held the bouquet and said, "Thank you all for your blessings today. I've heard that the bride's bouquet symbolizes happiness. I'd like to give this bouquet to the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Let's see who can catch this piece of happiness."
The bridesmaids and groomsmen, who were originally sitting at the first three tables, walked to the aisle below the stage. Lin Jinran and Su Qinian also followed. Although they weren't bridesmaids or groomsmen, in a certain sense, they were also qualified ones.
Xie Wanyu's eyes fell on Lin Jinran outside the group of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Then she turned her back to them and threw the bouquet forcefully behind her.
Lin Jinran was standing absent - mindedly. Suddenly, a black shadow flew towards her. She was slightly stunned and instinctively caught it. Looking down, she found it was Xie Wanyu's bouquet.
Xie Wanyu took the microphone and shouted, "Jinran, you must be happy!"
With tears in her eyes, Lin Jinran tightened her hold on the bouquet and nodded.
"You will definitely be happy." Su Qinian repeated, "The sufferings in the past are for the better happiness in the future."
She turned her eyes and her clear eyes met Su Qinian's ink - like ones. She also saw his determination and seriousness.
Lin Jinran's eyes were soft, and her eyes were bright and charming with a smile: "You will be too."
Because, after all, it was a two - way love.
After Xie Wanyu's wedding, Lin Jinran and Su Qinian went to the supermarket to buy some gifts and planned to go to Su Qinian's house, which was agreed in the morning.
When they opened the door, Su Qinian's mother greeted them warmly and pulled Lin Jinran's hand to lead her inside. Lin Jinran was flattered.
"You're Ranran, right? After all these years, you've become more and more beautiful. You're such a good catch for my son. Am I right?"
"Mom..." Su Qinian said helplessly.
Su's father, standing beside Su Qinian, laughed cheerfully: "So, you're finally willing to bring your girlfriend home?"
Suddenly remembering the gifts they bought, Lin Jinran, who had been pulled to sit on the sofa, handed them to Su's mother: "Auntie, these are some small gifts for you and Uncle."
"You came here. Why are you so polite? Niannian, you didn't even stop your girlfriend. It's so wasteful." Su's mother glared at Su Qinian, "You're so childish."
Su Qinian felt wronged: "..."
Su's father still laughed cheerfully and patted his back to comfort him.
The four of them sat down. Su Qinian's parents knew that Lin Jinran had had a tough time over the years. Afraid that there would be a rift between the two if they were separated for too long, they deliberately told Lin Jinran some things she didn't know in the past few years. Lin Jinran listened with great interest.
It seemed that they were getting closer.
Maybe because she got up too early in the morning, Lin Jinran felt sleepy after chatting with Su Qinian's parents for more than an hour. While Su Qinian's parents were still full of energy, she forced herself to stay awake and continue listening.
"Mom and Dad, it's getting late. I'll take Ranran back to the hotel to rest." Su Qinian interrupted, "Ranran and I have something to do tomorrow noon. Don't worry too much."
Su's father and Su's mother looked at each other. They naturally knew what Su Qinian was referring to. Su's father sighed: "Okay, take Ranran back to rest. Come and play again when you have a chance."
Su's mother said, "You two should be careful in everything. Safety comes first."
After saying goodbye to Su Qinian's parents, Lin Jinran yawned every few steps, squinting her eyes: "It seems that I'm really getting old. I used to feel energetic even when staying up late to film, but now I can't do it anymore."
"Then, old lady, would you like me to carry you? I, the old man, am full of energy." Standing at the door, Su Qinian bent down, pretending to stroke his non - existent beard and said in a deep voice.
"With pleasure." Lin Jinran was overjoyed, with a hint of cunning in her eyebrows. Then she jumped onto Su Qinian's back, putting her arms around his neck, "Old man, don't fall."
Su Qinian said in a deep voice, "I won't. Just hold on tight."
He firmly grasped Lin Jinran's legs and slowly straightened his back and walked forward.
The moon was rising above the willow branches. The air on this spring night was filled with a faint fragrance, which was extremely pleasant.
A gentle breeze blew, lifting Lin Jinran's hair. She tightly hugged the man's neck and buried her head in his neck, absorbing his warmth.
On the long street, the tree shadows were dimly visible, and the faint fragrance was floating. She was carried by the man she loved towards the car. It seemed that this life would be enough like this.
This was the beautiful life she had imagined.
Lin Jinran was in a great mood and unconsciously hummed a tune, which floated into Su Qinian's ears.
"What song are you humming?" Su Qinian asked curiously.
Lin Jinran laughed cheerfully, smelling the pleasant cedar fragrance on him and replied, "It's nothing. I'm just humming casually. I'm in a good mood."
"Then I'm in a good mood too." Su Qinian raised his long eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Lin Jinran looked up at the crescent moon and said affectionately word by word: "The moonlight is beautiful tonight. I like you very much."
