Chapter 504 Epilogue (Wedding)
Chapter 504 Epilogue (Wedding)
The sun in April is the gentlest, with a brightness and warmth as warm as glass.
The lake surface is sparkling with golden shadows and is surrounded by a sea of flowers.
Spring is infinitely good.
At the wedding scene, the guests had already arrived at the ceremony venue in advance.
There is a flower wall at the entrance, with all kinds of handmade flower brooches hanging on it. Every guest who signs in here can get one. In addition, the wall is also filled with various packaged small things, including dolls, fans, jewelry, etc., with exclusive Q-version portraits of Heo Yi-sung and Quan Zhilong printed on them, which can be regarded as a kind of souvenir.
Next to the flower wall is a white wall with various photos arranged on it. They are all photos of the guests and the newlyweds who attended the event today, representing the memories between them and the two newlyweds.
Guests can doodle on the wall and leave their own blessings in the blank space under the photos.
Walking past the flower wall, you will see all kinds of flowers lined up on both sides of the road, with daisies and sunflowers being the main flowers.
Today's witness is a mutual friend of the two, and the first person to witness them being together, Sun.
The witness was standing on the stage, but the two newlyweds had not arrived yet, and even the groom, who should have arrived early, was not there.
Thinking about today's process, Taiyang couldn't help but laughed and complained: "No matter what time, these two people are always different."
At this time, the groom was standing at the entrance waiting for his bride.
The scenery around him was as beautiful as a colorful oil painting, but he had no intention of appreciating it at this moment. He just stared into the distance, and his hands tugged at his clothes and sleeves from time to time, revealing his inner nervousness at this moment.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Quan Zhilong immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red horse galloping from a distance. On the horse's back, the bride's long veil and skirt fluttered in the wind, and the embroidery decorations on the veil looked like flowers flying in the wind.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and then stopped in front of Quan Zhilong.
"My groom, are you ready?"
Xu Yisong sat on the horse with a bright smile. When she lowered her head, the sunlight passed through her from behind, illuminating her hair and also illuminating her in Quan Zhilong's eyes.
I don't know if he was infected by Xu Yisong's smile, or if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Quan Zhilong took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and stretched out his hand to the girl on horseback. His eyes were bright, and Xu Yisong seemed to see his own reflection in them.
She heard him ask, "Are you ready then, my bride?"
And what responded to him was the lover who held his hand and in the next moment fell into his arms.
After hearing Quan Zhilong's voice, Xu Yisong put his hand into Quan Zhilong's hand without hesitation, then tilted his body and got off the horse.
Fortunately, the horse under her is the obedient Chess, and the person who caught her is her lover whom she can trust in all her life.
The moment Quan Zhilong held Xu Yisong's hand, he held her waist with his other hand and used a little force to lift her off the horse.
The wedding dress Xu Yisong wore today was a one-shoulder tube dress that was short in front and long in the back. The skirt was stacked in several layers, a bit like a flower bud, and when she moved, it looked like a soft cloud.
The hem of the skirt is embroidered with cute graffiti with colorful silk threads, including the two little ones in the family, the names of Heo Yisong and Kwon Ji-yong, and various flowers.
Embroidery is a kind of haute couture craft that is particularly gorgeous.
The entire dress, from design to cutting, was done by Armand himself.
The custom-made black suit with dark patterns and the shirt underneath that Quan Zhilong wore were also made by Armand. The collar and cuffs of Quan Zhilong's white shirt were embroidered with soft silk threads with patterns that matched the hem of Xu Yisong's skirt.
This is a wedding gift that Armand gave to his friend.
The veil on Xu Yisong’s head is more special, as it came from her fans.
The embroidery decoration on the veil looks like flowers at first glance, but if you look closely you will find that it is actually beautiful blessings embedded in the flowers.
At first, Xu Yisong had already chosen a veil that matched her wedding dress, but just a few days before the wedding she received this special gift.
After much consideration, Xu Yisong decided to wear this veil that embodies the love of her fans on her wedding day to welcome this important moment in her life.
She didn't wear high heels for horse riding, but chose more comfortable and handsome boots.
Xu Yisong landed steadily, but the two of them held hands tightly but did not separate.
Quan Zhilong handed the bouquet in his hand to Xu Yisong, looked into her eyes and asked, "Leaving?"
Xu Yisong took the bouquet with his free hand, and subconsciously moved a little closer to Quan Zhilong, his eyes curved like two crescents, "Let's go."
Go get married.
During the entrance ceremony, the groom did not stand there waiting for the bride to walk towards him, and the bride did not hold her father's hand to be handed over to the groom.
Their marriage is the result of love and the continuation of love.
Quan Zhilong didn't want to wait, and Xu Yisong didn't need to be handed over from one man to another. This wedding was their choice to follow their hearts, and it was also their decision to end a relationship and enter a new life.
Therefore, they want to hold each other's hands and walk towards their future together.
This wedding had no rules or restrictions, and was not done to show off to anyone. Every detail was completed completely according to the couple's own ideas. This was truly their own wedding.
A ceremony that belongs only to them, a promise made to each other.
Quan Zhilong helped Xu Yisong hold up one side of her skirt. The two held hands tightly, looked at each other, and smiled at each other after seeing themselves in each other's eyes. The next second, the two abandoned their previous dignity and steadiness and started running.
They ran together through the flower-lined path towards the ceremony venue and stopped only when they saw the guests' seats.
The ceremony venue was set up beside a beautiful blue lake, with a large cherry blossom forest beside it. The wind blew gently, and cherry blossom petals fell from the sky, forming the most natural fireworks to welcome the couple's entry.
Walking through the long white path, there were flowers and applause on both sides.
With everyone's blessings, the two finally stood at the front of the stage.
At first Xu Yisong didn't think much of it and was smiling happily. It was not until they were holding hands and facing each other with everyone staring at them that she started to get nervous and her palms began to sweat.
She maintained a perfect expression to avoid filming anything strange, and whispered to Quan Zhilong for help without moving her lips: "What should I do? I'm a little nervous."
However, the person who was asked for help was equally nervous.
Because as soon as she asked the question, she felt her hand being clenched a little tighter, not for comfort, but because his hands were shaking.
Xu Yisong actually couldn't tell whether he was shaking or not, because his hands were shaking too.
They both looked up at each other at the same time, and saw the same helplessness in each other's eyes.
Xu Yisong became more talkative when she was nervous. While listening to Taeyang's marriage proposal before exchanging rings, she whispered to Quan Zhilong, "You are a big star at the universe level, why are you so nervous in such a small scene?"
"Bunny, you are a triple superstar, much better than me. If you are not nervous, then why are you shaking?" Quan Zhilong retorted unyieldingly.
The two noobs, who were equally nervous to the point of shaking hands, were bluffing each other, but perhaps the chat helped a little, as luck would have it that when it came time to exchange rings, their hands stopped shaking, otherwise they would have taken the rings off out of nervousness and that would have been the end of them.
Fortunately, neither of them was wearing a microphone at that time.
Who would have thought that at this moment, in this romantic scene where others were looking at each other with affection, the two people were actually gossiping to each other.
The rings were the same ones they had worn for two years, but today they were wrapped with everlasting flowers to make them look more beautiful and fresh for the wedding.
Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar ring put back on their fingertips, both of them felt a sense of security in their hearts at the same time. The nervousness disappeared at this moment, replaced by joy and a sense of happiness that filled their chests.
Neither of them believed in religion, so no priest was invited to the wedding, and the two of them wrote their own oaths during the swearing-in ceremony.
The oaths were written separately, and before today they didn't know what the other was going to say.
Xu Yisong was just about to take out the manuscript he had written in advance, but when he turned around, he found that Quan Zhilong didn't take anything, and his eyes changed instantly.
I felt betrayed: You're planning to go without a script?!
Then wouldn't it seem less sincere for her to read from the script?
Quan Zhilong met Xu Yisong's gaze and understood the meaning in her eyes at a glance. He immediately covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk. Wait until I finish."
He knew Xu Yisong too well. If he let her speak at this moment, the romantic atmosphere would be gone in an instant.
Xu Yisong, who was interrupted, looked aggrieved.
Quan Zhilong ignored her cruelly, then took the microphone, calmed down his emotions, and tapped her forehead with his finger: "I'm confessing to you, listen carefully."
After saying that, he lowered his head and took a few deep breaths, as if he was thinking about how to start.
"A few days ago, when we agreed to write our vows together, I thought a lot about everything we have been through, about love, about you. In fact, until I stood here, I realized that these words seemed to be insufficient to express what I wanted to say.
I am a very timid and awkward person, always trying in the process of seeking. "Kwon Ji-ryong's voice became low and slow. Obviously, the two were still joking with each other in the last second, but as soon as Kwon Ji-ryong opened his mouth, Xu Yisong's heart calmed down, and everything around him disappeared.
At this moment, she could only see the person in front of her.
As he spoke, Quan Zhilong's eyes gradually turned red. "I am also a lucky person. I have been grateful to God countless times for loving me. Even though there are many things that are not satisfactory, he still favors me, allowing me to do what I like and allowing me... to meet you."
"After meeting you, every scene related to you is extremely clear in my memory. Before we were together, the sun once asked me why I didn't pursue you because I liked you. I was timid at that time because you were too special. You don't know how dazzling you are, like a little sun, attracting people to come closer."
At this point, Quan Zhilong paused, tears streaming down his eyes, which were caught by Xu Yisong.
He grabbed Xu Yisong's hand on his face and continued, "It is your courage that gives me the courage. You may have heard these words countless times, but I still want to say to you again: Thank you for coming to my side."
When Quan Zhilong was crying, Xu Yisong was already in tears.
Quan Zhilong reached out to help Xu Yisong wipe the tears from her face. His movements were gentle and careful, trying not to mess up her delicate makeup today. He continued, "I don't want to discuss love. Some things don't need to be said anymore, because they are things that have long been engraved into our bones and flesh. Loving you has become a fact that is as simple as breathing and can never be changed."
"Xu Yisong, thank you for trusting me. Don't be afraid of the future. Marriage will not bind us. We are still free and will have more."
Perhaps influenced by his parents' unsuccessful marriage, he actually knew that Xu Yisong was afraid of marriage, so he would confirm Xu Yisong's feelings over and over again before deciding to propose, even if everyone around her said that she would definitely not refuse.
Until he was completely sure that Xu Yisong was really willing to marry him.
Although they have been married for the past two years, their lives have not changed much and they still maintain their dating habits.
He also found that Xu Yisong didn't have much feeling about their marriage, and he was the same. It was just that he didn't have much time to think about it because he joined the army, and Xu Yisong seemed unwilling to think about the difference between changing from a romantic relationship to a husband and wife.
She seemed to be running away.
Quan Zhilong found out but didn't say anything. He just used practical actions to prove to her that their marriage was not terrible, and gradually dispelled the uneasiness in her heart.
Today, when they exchanged vows, he once again firmly told her: Don't worry, don't be afraid. The marriage relationship will not become a bondage, but will only make their love stronger.
He wiped away Xu Yisong's tears bit by bit and said, "Believe me."
"I know, I believe you." Xu Yisong was crying so hard that he couldn't speak, and could only nod his head continuously.
Xu Yisong lowered her head, her tears could not stop, and she could hardly hold the microphone. Quan Zhilong held her hand and the microphone together with her, and whispered, "Don't cry."
"It's all because of you." Xu Yisong turned her head away, a little embarrassed about her own loss of composure. She tried hard to control her breathing, and it took a while for her tears to stop, but the manuscript she had prepared was completely unusable.
Xu Yisong angrily hit Quan Zhilong's arm lightly, but after his hand fell, he grasped it to support himself.
After her breathing calmed down, she complained helplessly but more like a spoiled child: "I originally prepared a lot, but now it's nothing to show for it. I told you not to sneak in."
Quan Zhilong smiled when he heard this, supported her arm and said nothing. The guests in the audience also laughed at her witty remarks.
But she still had to talk about the part that belonged to Xu Yisong.
Xu Yisong raised his head slightly and patted his cheeks, breathing slowly, controlling his still somewhat sour emotions, and then he spoke: "Before I met you, I never thought about getting married, never expected marriage, and didn't even want to touch relationships."
She really didn't have the heart to fall in love at that time. But as they got to know each other better, Xu Yisong sadly found that she was inevitably moved, and after she realized this problem, the relationship became uncontrollable.
Quan Zhilong said that she was brave, but she was actually a selfish person. She took the initiative to break the window paper just to make herself feel at ease and no longer be troubled by an uncertain relationship.
People around him say that Bunny is a very good person, but Xu Yisong is very clear that he has too many shortcomings. "I am a very stubborn person, stubborn, willful, paranoid... I can't help but point my thorns at the people closest to me. These are the real me. I was afraid of this, afraid that you would be afraid because of seeing the real me."
At first, she was afraid that this side of herself would be seen by Quan Zhilong, especially when she realized that she liked Quan Zhilong more and more. The uneasy feeling slowly eroded the sweetness of love.
But she was lucky, Kwon Ji-Ryong tolerated her messy character flaws and carefully protected her self-esteem.
"I am often anxious, but I don't want others to see it, but you always find out the fastest. I am willful, sensitive and awkward, but you choose to understand and wrap my thorns with love, even if I hurt you because of it." Xu Yisong's voice gradually began to choke, "I feel very sorry, but I can't change myself, and I don't want to let you go. Thank you for tolerating such an imperfect me and being willing to continue to love me like this."
The stubborn side of Xu Yisong's character does give Quan Zhilong a headache sometimes, but it is more distressing. He never thinks these are shortcomings, because he sees from her sharpness a soul that is never seen by outsiders, hiding pain with warmth, protecting herself with thorns, and licking her wounds alone.
Even though the thorns had pierced his body, he still wanted to get close to her and hold her in his arms.
He was attracted by Xu Yisong, who was as dazzling and warm as a little sun, but he was also willing to stay for her, an imperfect girl.
She said she was not good enough, but Quan Zhilong felt that his lover was already the best person in the world.
"Thank you for being in my life," they said to each other.
"Please stay by my side in the future."
The two people who originally did not believe in forever now begged each other and made a promise of forever.
Cherry blossoms fly and fall, and the lake reflects a pair of lovers hugging and kissing passionately.
The vows taken at a wedding are more like a contract, firmly connecting two people together. Time, space...are no longer a problem.
From now on, we are still independent and free, but also inseparable, and will love each other forever.
