Looking back on the past, it was indeed not easy for them to get to where they are today.

"Zhao Qian, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have been celibate for a long time."

"Are you planning to never get married for the rest of your life?"

"Yes, I really thought about it, and not just once. In fact, I have always been very clumsy when it comes to relationships. In the words of my good friend, I don't know how to deal with it at all. I think I must have never really liked anyone at that time. So I can’t experience what it’s like to be in love.”

"Then do you like me?" Zhao Qian straightened Li Wei's body so that she was facing him.

Li Wei met his gaze without escaping or dodging. She wanted to tell him personally: "It is precisely because I like you that you are my only choice."

In that distant time and space, she had been married before, but she met an unkind man. She did not wear auspicious clothes, nor a phoenix crown, nor any ceremony, not even a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber. She would be innocent until her death. body.

Now that she is getting married again, the person she is marrying is her choice. She believes that with Zhao Qian by his side, the future will be smooth.

Li Jianbo arrived home at 9:30 pm on the 30th.

Li Wei stood in the living room on the first floor to greet him. Li Jianbo didn't have any luggage with him and came back empty-handed. When he entered, Li Wei greeted him with a smile: "Second brother, welcome back."

Li Jianbo pulled Li Wei's hand and said gently: "Wei Wei, I wish you the best."

Only then did Zhao Qian go over and shake hands with Li Jianbo, saying that the journey was hard.

There is nothing more joyful than family reunion, and Li Wei wants to talk to everyone more. But Yang Man was urging her: "Weiwei, you are the bride tomorrow, so you should go to bed early. Your skin also needs care, and you can't stay up late."

Li Wei had no choice but to go upstairs reluctantly. She returned to her bedroom and got into bed. The soundproofing effect of the house is very good, and you can't hear the voices downstairs at all. She lay face inside and looked out the window and could see the stars in the sky.

It was obviously the bed she was used to sleeping on, the familiar quilt, and the smell that belonged to her, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. I don’t know how long it took, but the door was pushed open. She heard familiar footsteps. Li Wei turned over and turned on the bedside lamp. Sure enough, her mother came in.

"Ah, are you really not asleep yet?"

"Mom, I can't sleep."

Liu Chunzhi came over and sat beside Li Wei's bed. She held her daughter's hand and said, "It's the same as before. When I was about to marry your father, I couldn't sleep well that night. Your grandma accompanied me and said A lot of words.”

"Will Mom accompany me too?" Li Wei rarely showed coquettishness to his mother, but Liu Chunzhi just said: "Tomorrow will be very busy, rest is important, don't think too much, sleep peacefully. I will I'll call you."

Liu Chunzhi comforted her daughter with a few words and then went out. The wind blew and the leaves rustled.

The weather forecast clearly says that tomorrow will be good weather, so it shouldn't rain suddenly, right? Li Wei secretly prayed that there would be good weather tomorrow.

Li Wei thought a lot that night. Later, he felt very sleepy and fell asleep. However, he felt that he was pushed awake not long after he fell asleep.

"Wei Wei, it's time to get up."

Li Wei felt that she had just fallen asleep. She tried her best to open her eyelids and saw her mother standing beside the bed.

Li Wei rubbed his eyes and asked, "When is it now?"

Liu Chunzhi said: "It's almost eight o'clock. You should get up quickly and have something to eat. There are still a lot of things to do."

The makeup artist Li Wei hired was a colleague from the TV station. That colleague often put makeup on her, and the two had a good relationship in private. When encountering such a thing, they were naturally willing to help.

Li Wei sat up and yawned. She didn't feel like she was in her teens or 20s. At that time, she didn't feel very tired even if she stayed up all night occasionally. But now, just a little insomnia makes her feel very tired, dizzy, and very lack of energy.

She lazily got up, washed her face and combed her hair. The ceremony will be held at 5 p.m. She wore a skirt for the time being. It was cold in the morning, so she added a thin knitted jacket.

She didn't have a good appetite in the morning, but Liu Chunzhi told her that the day would be tough and she needed to replenish her strength, so she had to eat one more bun.

Soon it was nine o'clock, and she and Li Jianping confirmed the venue and the charter. Qiu Ci and Lin Yanjun from the Information Department were invited to be the emcees for the wedding. The two of them arrived at Li Wei's house before lunch. Li Wei communicated with them.

In the afternoon, the invited guests arrived one after another. Except for the relatives and friends of the Li family, the rest were friends of Li Wei and Zhao Qian. Colleagues from the column team arrived at around three o'clock. Zhu Heng gave Li Wei a big red envelope, said congratulations, and then took out another red envelope and told Li Wei: "This is from Deputy Director Guo. He I'm sorry that I can't come because I have something to do."

Of course Li Wei can understand that people in their line of work have a rotation system, and this situation is too common.

Li Wei was still busy greeting guests. But Chen Yashi came over in a hurry, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but say: "My little ancestor, why are you not in a hurry? Your makeup artist is looking for you, and there is not much time left."

Li Wei looked at his watch and it was already a quarter past three, and exclaimed: "How come it's so fast?"

Zhao Qian also urged her: "Go and put on makeup, I'm here."

Not only Zhao Qian, but also Jian Bo. Jianbo had met Zhu Heng a few times before and had a slight impression. He hurriedly asked Zhu Heng and the others to wait in the rest area behind.

Li Wei then followed Chen Yashi to put on makeup with confidence.

Chen Yashi held Li Wei's arm affectionately and said as they walked: "The momentum today is so huge. I didn't expect so many media interviews and reports. Wei Wei, you are really famous."

Li smiled and replied: "I am in Zhao Qian's favor."

"I'm so happy to have a celebrity husband." Chen Yashi said to Li Wei again: "Weiwei, do you know what other people are talking about this wedding?"

Li Wei really didn't know this. She shook her head, and Chen Yashi smiled and said, "They said that weddings are always held at her parents' home. That Zhao Qian must have married into the Li family. Do you think he married into the Li family?"

Let the dignified regent marry? This idea was too ridiculous. Li smiled and explained: "He doesn't have any family members. We happen to have a venue at home, so we did it here. It doesn't involve bringing in the children."

Arriving at Li Wei's bedroom, makeup artist Tang Hui had already opened her makeup box, and Yang Li helped take out the wedding dress and organize it.

"Come quickly!" Tang Hui waved to Li Wei.

Li Wei sat down obediently, and Tang Hui started to do Li Wei's hair style. Chen Yashi and Yang Li helped.

Yang Li said: "With Teacher Tang in charge, you can rest assured."

Of course Li Wei is assured of Tang Hui's skills.
