The one that had lowered its head the most was its gentleness. It was like a fallen leaf being brushed by the surface of a lake, and ripples were formed on its surface. It was unable to calm down for a long time.
Xiao Man could clearly hear the crazily beating heart in her heart that was like a splash. The moment she raised her head, coincidentally, she met his eyes. They were especially bright and spirited.
If General Yan Mo"s eyes were ice-cold and filled with melancholy, then the eyes of the person in front of him were fiery hot. It was like the flames of spring in which everything was revived, instantly setting the plains ablaze.
Xiao Ming put on his military cap and said, "Alright, you"re going to be late."
Xiao Man recovered his senses, and only now did he realize how long he"d been delayed before rus.h.i.+ng out of the mansion with his head lowered.
Looking at the departing figure, Xiao Yong"s lips curled up into a smile as usual. Indeed, he had been with his little sister for a long time.
"Xiao Man, here." Wei Ziqi lowered her car window and frowned, "What are you doing? The wedding car has already gone far away. "
Xiao Man panted as he sat in the car and buckled up his seat belt.
Wei Ziqi pointed at the clothes on her shoulder. "Who"s this?"
Xiao Man hugged her in his embrace as if afraid that she would s.n.a.t.c.h her away. "General Xiao Ming gave it to me just now."
Wei Ziqi was flabbergasted. "Are you talking about the sir"s big brother, General Xiao Yung?"
Xiao Man nodded shyly. "He probably thinks I"m cold. There"s a kind of gentleness in this world that"s called him thinking you"re cold."
"Didn"t you think of General Yan Mo?" Wei Ziqi asked.
Xiao Man acted as if she had just awoken from a dream as she tore off her clothes, and her brows twitched. "That won"t do. Even if General Xiao Ming is a dragon among men, I have long since fallen for General Yan Mo. I will definitely not hurt my General Yan Mo"s sincerity."
Wei Ziqi glared at her in disdain, "Although the truth is a bit hurtful, I feel that I must tell you this truth."
Xiao Man covered her mouth. "Don"t say it, I know it, you told me to love someone without having to see many flowers. I understand, I will face up to the mistakes I made today, I definitely won"t have any improper thoughts towards General Xiao Yumei."
Wei Ziqi pulled her hand away and seriously said, "I just wanted to tell you —"
Xiao Man once again covered her mouth. "I know, Ziqi, I know, you don"t have to say anything. I know that as a comrade, you won"t just watch me commit this unforgivable act of being stupid on two boats. Don"t worry, I"ll get to know myself again."
Wei Ziqi gave up persuading her to redeem herself. There was no other way, no matter what, we couldn"t wake up a person who pretended to be asleep.
Xiao Man gazed out of the window with interest as her hand tightly gripped Xiao Ming"s jacket. What should she do? The coat seemed to be perfumed. Yes, but it was so fragrant that he didn"t notice that he seemed to be hugging General Xiao Ying-jie"s muscular body.
At the wedding ceremony, there was a sea of people. The Shen and Xiao families were both renowned families in the Flower Country, so naturally, the marriage between the two families was the biggest event of the year.
Shen Tian stood at the entrance, a smile on his face under his meticulous military uniform. His usual gentleness could be seen everywhere today. His eyes that were about to become a line of smile wished to tell the entire world that his Shen family was overjoyed today.
"Bang, bang, bang." The fireworks shook the skies, and the firecrackers reverberated within the mountains.
Everyone in the manor raised their heads up high, looking at the K Army"s 111th Regiment that was interweaving and performing above the sky.
Shen Tian stood beside Marshal Xu, clapping his hands, "Brother Xu, thank you so much for such a generous gift."
Xu Mao held a gla.s.s of champagne and lightly swirled the wine in his hand as he said, "The Shen family has such a joyous occasion. We have been friends for many years, so we should at least add fuel to your fire."
"This is not as simple as a fire. These fighter jets have shocked the entire Flower Country. Those who do not know about this are wondering if we are acting together." Shen raised his gla.s.s a day and the two gla.s.ses clinked.
"My little help can"t compare to Marshal Feng Cheng"s sensation. Just look at how happy you are to congratulate the Shen family"s Xiao family and to reward the three armies." Xu Mao said.
Feng Cheng laughed heartily as he walked forward. The moment his rough voice sounded, the guests all turned around.
"Brother Feng, you"re wasting it." Shen Yi personally pa.s.sed a cup of wine to Zhang Xuan.
Feng Cheng waved his hand, "We are all brothers, why are you talking about false etiquette? The most important thing is that everyone is happy, I am very happy today, but what about Brother Xiao? Why hasn"t he come yet? "
"The wedding car will arrive in half an hour. They should be travelling together." Shen Tian said.
"The four of us haven"t been together in a while. Why don"t we fight a few rounds later?" Xu Mao asked.
"That"s great. How can two laps be enough? At least four laps, no one is allowed to go back on their words." Feng Cheng looked up and felt stuffy.
Yan Jun cast a glance at the few leaders who were happily chatting with each other. A middle-aged woman did not want to get involved in this. When she turned around, a figure walked past her muddle-headedly.
Yan Mo was like a walking corpse with only an empty sh.e.l.l left. He looked at his blissful environment and realized that his little daughter-in-law of over ten years had become his nephew wife. He sniffed and suddenly wanted to cry.
"Those people who don"t know about the expressions on your face think that our Yan Clan"s two elders have pa.s.sed away again." Yan Jun picked up a wet and hot towel and wiped Yan Mo"s face.
Yan Mo squatted on the ground and began to pick at the weeds on the ground. "Sis, I don"t think I should be here today."
"How can you not be here today? It"s your nephew who"s getting married. "
"..." And my little daughter-in-law.
"I know you still can"t let go of Little Jing, but little brother, Little Jing is my daughter-in-law now. You should at least give your sister some face. Do you want me to introduce a few women to you?" No, men can do it too. "
"..." Am I that casual in your eyes now?
He coughed lightly and pointed to his right front position, "Did you see that? That is Uncle Xu"s third son, and he just came back from abroad. I heard that he is a doctor in medicine and has a handsome appearance. Most importantly, I heard that he hasn"t been in a relations.h.i.+p yet."
"..."
"How is it? Do you have the burning conquest in your heart? Do you want me to introduce you two? "
Yan Mo stood up from the ground with a "whoosh".
Yan Jun was very satisfied with his reaction. She stood up as well and said with a pleased expression, "Take out your courage. Go over there and use that crude and barbaric male hormone of yours to capture him."
"Sis, I need some time to calm down."
Yan Jun took two steps back with a clear understanding expression. "Good, good, good. I will give you some time to think carefully about your strategy. Don"t give up."
The waiter trotted over and gasped for breath. He hurriedly said, "Madam, the wedding carriage has arrived."
Yan Jun tidied up her attire and followed the attendant to the front courtyard.
Yan Mo looked at the gradually fading back as he sat on a chair in desolation.
"Jing Jing, the wedding car is here. Would you like to take a look?" Two women walked out from the manor, one in front and one behind. One was in a long blue dress while the other was in a small, neutral suit.
The woman who was called Jing Jing only said one word, "No."
Another woman in a blue dress frowned. "Can"t you just say one more word? "Not what?"
"Tired." The woman leaned against the pillar, looking rather tired.
The other woman didn"t disturb her too much and headed straight for the front yard.
Yan Mo did not think much of the voice and looked at the woman leaning against the pillar. She wore an ordinary suit, unlike any other girl who was dressed extravagantly. She had a face without makeup, and short hair that was rather neat and simple.
Xu Jing sensed that someone was spying on her and raised her head. She stared unfriendly at the man that was staring at her.
Yan Mo s.h.i.+fted his gaze away and no longer looked at them.
Xu Jing snorted coldly as she walked up to him and said, "Speak."
Yan Mo looked around to confirm that she was speaking to him before saying, "I have nothing to say."
"Look at me." Xu Jing said again.
Yan Mo frowned. "What are you trying to do?"
"I"m asking you." Xu Jing said.
Yan Mo was completely confused by her simple and concise words. He stood up and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"Go ahead." Xu Jing pointed at his face without any trace of politeness. "There"s a purpose."
Yan Mo was too lazy to bother with her and walked in the opposite direction.
Xu Jing"s face darkened, and he swung his arm forward without any hesitation.
Sensing the threat, Yan Mo instinctively retreated.
Xu Jing refused to give up and continued to attack, "Speak."
"What exactly do you want me to say?" Yan Mo was forced to retreat step by step. He couldn"t hit women, he couldn"t hit women.
Xu Jing said forcefully, "Our goal."
Yan Mo grabbed her hand and asked, "What kind of purpose do I have?"
"I"m asking you." Xu Jing said again.
Yan Mo could no longer endure it and pushed away her hand. He pointed at her nose and roared, "I have no other intentions. You better not cause trouble for me. Otherwise, I will beat you up no matter if you are a woman or not."
Xu Jing was thinking about attacking again when a figure suddenly approached them.
"Jing Jing, what"s going on?" Xu Mao looked around but didn"t see his daughter who had just returned from a mission. Hearing the commotion over here, he immediately knew who his daughter disliked.
When Yan Mo saw his superior, he saluted and greeted, "Marshal."
Xu Mao looked at the two people locked in battle and creased his brow. "What"s going on?"
Xu Jing said expressionlessly, "He, is looking at me."
Xu Mao didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. "There must be some kind of misunderstanding."
Yan Mo lowered his hand and similarly spoke arrogantly, "Eyes. On me. On me. I want to. Look. Just look."
Xu Mao dragged Yan Mo and walked two steps away as he said with a serious expression, "Don"t get angry with my daughter. She has an obstacle in communication and has always spoken the longest sentence without saying more than four words. Occasionally, she would only say one word at a time."
Yan Mo cast a sidelong glance at the fair and pure looking woman, "Communication barrier?"
Xu Mao lowered his voice, "You better not imitate her, or else she will definitely cut you."
Yan Mo coughed lightly, "Sir, I feel that your daughter has more than just a language barrier, her brain also needs to be cured. I just glanced at her and she said I have an ulterior motive. Do I look like someone shallow like that?"
Xu Mao slapped the back of Yan Mo"s head and said, "I"m her father. I"m very protective, go away."
Yan Mo was inexplicably slapped. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw Marshal Xu pulling his daughter"s hand and running away.
Xu Jing turned her head and glared at Yan Mo once more. She couldn"t help but raise her hand, making a gesture as if she was wiping her neck.
Yan Mo refused to back down. He clenched his fists and used his thumb to mock her self-righteousness.
Xu Jing clenched her teeth, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it over.
Yan Mo avoided it without leaving a trace. He snorted coldly and once again sent a thumbs up.
BOOM! Dozens of wedding cars entered the manor in an orderly manner, the limelight flas.h.i.+ng non-stop along the way.
The doors of the car slowly opened, and one by one hydrogen balloons rose into the air. The military officers on both sides raised the guns in their hands and fired a shot through the air.
The bullet pierced through the balloon. The split balloon scattered petals in a colorful and gorgeous manner.
Shen Chengfeng was dressed in his military uniform, leaning over and holding onto the right hand of the person in the car. Beside him, the bridesmaid was standing in two rows.
It was a long journey from the south to the north, and the next stop was bliss.
No matter how many hards.h.i.+ps, you and I are not lost.
From the road to the end of life, the next stop is happiness.
He paid without any regrets, and only wanted to return to his home after completing the mission …
Xiao Jing looked up, her eyes full of his face that was almost within reach.
Shen Chengfeng"s eyes were downcast, his eyes were engraved with the gentleness of her smile, he raised his hand and gently plucked the flower petals off her bridal dress, his fingers tightened around her small hands.
The red carpet, the blissful music, the applause from both sides of the road. She lifted her skirt and walked forward step by step.
The winds were blowing and the clouds were rising. The flower of honor was burning the pa.s.sion of the sky, and the helicopters were flying over in a line.
In the center of the manor, a military song rang out loud and clear. A row of guards wore formal attire as they crossed swords in their hands.
Xiao Jing had changed back into her military uniform, her s.h.i.+ny epaulettes shone brightly in the sunlight, she stood in front of Shen Chengfeng, holding his hands tightly.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" The drums sounded and the saber slowly unsheathed, leaving behind a magnificent road.
Shen Chengfeng held her hand, walking steadily on the red carpet with his s.h.i.+ny military boots.
Shen Tian sat in his father"s seat and nervously clenched his fists. If it wasn"t for the gloves, his entire palm would have been drenched in sweat.
"Father, drink some tea." Xiao Jing lifted a cup of tea and knelt in front of the two elders.
Shen Tian hurriedly took a sip and said, "Quickly get up, there"s no need to kneel."
Xiao Jing took another cup of tea. "Mother, have some tea."
"Alright, alright, alright, we don"t need to pay attention to formalities. Shen Chengfeng, quickly help your wife up." Yan Jun glared at her motionless son.
Xiao Jing slowly stood up. Three months of body time was equivalent to five months of an ordinary person"s life.
Shen Chengfeng walked to the front of Xiao Yao and saluted with his chest held high, and then knelt down respectfully, "Father-in-law, have some tea."
For a moment, Xiao Yao hesitated. His hand trembled as he took the teacup, "I only have one request, to love her well. It"s not the kind of thing you say you love, but the kind of thing you do when you promise."
Shen Chengfeng replied firmly, "Yes, father-in-law."
Xiao Yao took a sip of tea.
Shen Chengfeng then poured another cup of tea, "Mother, please have some tea."
Qin Ran"s eyes had already turned red. She wore a Chinese cheongsam and only sipped from her teacup, "Hurry and get up, child."
"Can we take pictures now?" The cameraman asked cautiously.
"It"s done."
Shen Chengfeng and Xiao Jing were standing behind the four elders, facing the camera, smiling from ear to ear.
The camera flashed with a click.
Applause rang out in unison.
Xiao Jing held the two red packets that Marshal Shen Tian had personally given her. Could it be that these were cheques?
That"s not right, the cheque was like a piece of paper. There should be something like a card inside the envelope.
Xiao Jing was overjoyed. Could it be that her father-in-law had given her a card?
Shen Chengfeng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It should be the key to our house."
A bucket of cold water was poured over Xiao Jing"s face as she asked, "Key?"
Shen Chengfeng nodded his head, "He should have given us two marriage houses."
Xiao Jing rubbed her stomach. So it was her wedding room.
"Your parents gave it to me." Shen Chengfeng stuffed it into her hands, "I touched it, it might be a cheque of some sort."
Xiao Jing"s face lit up. Her parents were honest and knew it wouldn"t be easy to raise a child. They should give her some milk powder.
Shen Chengfeng held her hand, "You really like this?"
Xiao Jing secretly opened the envelope. Sure enough, it was a cheque. She carefully counted the numbers on the back before her eyes suddenly lit up. "Captain, getting married turns out to be so rich. It seems that we"ll have to get married more often in the future."
Shen Chengfeng rubbed her head, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Jing was extremely happy as she tightly held the red envelope in her hand.
Shen Chengfeng"s ten fingers intertwined with her little hand, "Are you afraid that I cannot support you?"
"Captain!"
"Your captain is very rich, you don"t have to worry about starving you three."
