In a blink of an eye, the summer heat faded away, and the weather gradually became cooler. After more than a month, the autumn wind was blowing, and the fallen leaves on the street were swirling in the wind.
At the junction of late autumn and early winter of this year, a major event happened to Cheng Kou.
One day, she and Su Yan were curled up on the sofa at home watching a movie, a romantic comedy. Near the end of the movie, Cheng Kou was moved to tears by the male protagonist's sudden romantic proposal. Only then did she realize that someone was staring at her.
Cheng Kou touched the corner of his eyes and looked back in confusion.
She actually felt that Su Yan was a little weird. His eyes were slightly dark, as if he was planning something, and they kept falling on her face.
Cheng Kou looked at him, pursed his thin lips, and then said something.
"Koubao, let's get married." He said it easily, as casually as if he was talking about what vegetables to buy today.
However, Su Yan did not go shopping for groceries himself, which made his proposal seem more sincere.
Cheng Kou paused for a few seconds. What reason did she have to refuse? It seemed that she had no reason, so she nodded and said yes.
Su Yan drove her directly to the jewelry store to pick out a pair of wedding rings, and then they each went home to get their household registration books and headed straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When Cheng Kou returned home holding the red book that night, he couldn't believe it. Are they getting married just like that
It's too easy to be a legitimate Mrs. Su...
Not sure if it was a coincidence, but when they went to get the household registration books, no one was there from either family. Cheng Kou had a dramatic feeling that they were a couple who were separated by force and were desperate to steal the household registration books and get married.
From big things like getting married to small things like taking away the household registration booklet without telling anyone, the two of them called their families to report the matter. Upon hearing this, Song Qingwu scolded her a few words, asking how could she be so careless.
On the other hand, on Su Yan's side, Shen Wenzhou was smiling happily and repeatedly praised his son for doing a good job.
Cheng Kou was very dissatisfied with this kind of differential treatment. He twisted Su Yan's arm and snorted a few times.
Su Yan endured the pain and did not make a sound, but comforted her: "Koubao, we are a family now, and we have to share both slaps and sweet dates."
Cheng Kou couldn't help laughing and said angrily, "My mom didn't slap me!"
Su Yan surrendered: "My analogy was inappropriate, I admit my mistake."
"When you make a mistake, you should be punished."
"Um?"
"As a punishment... well, I'll punish you by having you go shopping for groceries yourself and come back to cook a meal for me."
The next morning, Su Yan really got up early to go shopping for groceries. When Cheng Kou opened his eyes, he was already standing beside the bed, fully dressed.
It was a rare opportunity to sleep in, and Cheng Kou didn't want to go with them, but he couldn't resist his curiosity, so he had to resign himself to his fate and get up to wash up.
She brushed her teeth vigorously, her mouth full of foam, and thought angrily that one really should not shoot oneself in the foot.
Cheng Kou originally thought that Su Yan was going to the supermarket opposite Yuren Garden to symbolically buy some vegetables, but he didn't expect him to drive directly to the nearby vegetable market.
Cheng Kou guessed that this was the first time for him to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, so he became interested and followed him.
The vegetable market was noisy in the morning. Cheng Kou always followed Song Qingwu here, so he was used to it. At this moment, he was looking at Su Yan with interest.
Su Yan looked calm and composed, without any of the awkwardness and embarrassment she had imagined, as he picked out what he wanted.
In this crowded place, Su Yan couldn't hide his noble air, but he bought things like an ordinary office worker. Cheng Kou looked at this scene and felt a little awkward, but also a little moved.
Su Yan spent half an hour in the market, and naturally had a good harvest. There were several vegetables with fresh stems and leaves, the meat was of good quality with clear texture, and there was also a sea bass that he asked the store owner to kill.
Back in the car, Cheng Kou asked doubtfully, "Can you cook fish?"
Su Yan looked at her silently, started the car, and entered the underground garage in a short while.
As soon as Su Yan got home, he went into the kitchen carrying the bag in his hand. Cheng Kou wanted to follow him in but was stopped outside.
"I'll do it, you go watch TV."
Su Yan closed the door, and Cheng Kou had to sit in the living room. She was so restless that she couldn't concentrate on watching any show, and she kept changing channels with the remote control in her hand.
It was not until the steamed sea bass was served that she realized that one really cannot question men. No matter what the aspect is, their strong self-esteem will drive their behavior and completely shatter the contempt of others.
Su Yan also made garlic lettuce, fish-flavored eggplant strips, and zea salted lamb. Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he looked towards the living room and called Cheng Kou to the table.
"I can only cook non-spicy dishes." He said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Kou shook his head, "These are already very good."
Father Cheng can't cook, and Song Qingwu always tells her that there are not many men who can cook these days, and even fewer who are willing to cook for you.
And her man is the one who will put on an apron and go into the kitchen for her, and will feel sorry if he fails to cater to her taste.
This realization gave her a sense of reality for the first time: they were already a family, and their relationship was legally binding. In addition, their self-discipline was unbreakable.
Su Yan picked up a piece of fish for her and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Cheng Kou put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and gave a truthful evaluation: "It doesn't seem to be very tasty."
"..." Su Yan instantly showed a troubled expression, as if he was thinking about where he had gone wrong. This was far from his usual calmness and composure. Cheng Kou felt a little soft-hearted when he saw this, and was about to change his words, but was interrupted by him.
"Try this." He pointed to the garlic lettuce in the distance.
Cheng Kou took a bite and praised with the corners of his lips curled up: "It's delicious."
“… Koubao, just tell me the truth, don’t worry about me.” Su Yan’s face was obviously full of doubt. Cheng Kou laughed dryly and thought to himself that it seemed that he still couldn’t lie.
"Uh... the food is a little raw."
"Go on." Su Yan said calmly, but Cheng Kou could see a hint of resentment in his calmness.
It is said that a man sometimes behaves like a child towards his wife after marriage. Cheng Kou did not expect to encounter this on the first day of marriage.
However, his rare childish stubbornness was somewhat cute in her eyes.
"Too much vinegar, it's so sour."
“The meat is overcooked.”
Su Yan: “…”
Cheng Kou seemed to be able to imagine a feeling of frustration growing in his heart, and was busy searching his mind for the right words to comfort him.
I don't know what she was thinking, but she blurted out: "Husband—"
Su Yan was startled by her address and leaned back a few inches until his back hit the back of the chair and he had no way to move forward.
Since the words had already been spoken, Cheng Kou simply said with a smile: "Your dishes look very good, the flaws do not outweigh the merits."
So what if the food is not delicious? After all, they are husband and wife, so it doesn’t matter.
Of course, he is half a catty and she is eight ounces.
Su Yan's eyes were filled with another emotion, and he said in a hoarse voice: "If it doesn't taste good, then don't eat it."
"Hmm? It would be such a waste if you don't eat it—"
Before she could finish her words, he had already picked her up and carried her back to the big bed in the bedroom to do something that would not let down the view outside the window.
Since they were already married, they naturally had to inform their relatives and friends. As expected, Su Yan was asked to treat them to a meal.
Qin Shan intended to make him bleed heavily, so she picked the most expensive place in the whole city of C. But on the day of the appointment, she belatedly remembered that the club was actually under the name of his Su family.
Qin Shan angrily knocked Rong Yan's head, muttering: "I don't know if it's too late to change places now..."
Rong Yan felt like crying but had no tears. His father had thrown him into a remote place and locked him up for several months. How come the world was completely different when he came back
He is still a bachelor, well, commonly known as a single dog, how did Xiao Yanzi become a married man...
In order to make it convenient for Xia Linchen, Su Yan reserved a large private room on the first floor. He and Cheng Kou arrived early, and Cheng Kou had just left when Xia Linchen arrived.
Shen Yinran came with him. Xia Linchen didn't need her support, so she pointed out the obstacles ahead in his ear.
Su Yan strode over. Xia Linchen recognized his footsteps and whispered to Shen Yinran, "Yinyin, go find Cheng Kou."
After Shen Yinran left, Su Yan led Xia Linchen to the window without leaving any trace.
Xia Linchen raised his hand and stroked the carved decorations, and asked, "What does this window frame look like?"
Su Yan said it succinctly: "Red wood, hollow, orchid pattern."
Xia Linchen smiled: "It's pretty much what I imagined."
Su Yan paused and said sincerely: "Thank you."
Xia Linchen was startled and said with a smile: "You're welcome, as long as you are happy."
From afar, Cheng Kou saw the equally handsome and tall figures of two men standing side by side. When she approached, Su Yan raised his hand and put it on her back, but let go in just a moment.
"I'll go meet Rong Yan and the others."
"Cheng Kou." After they were alone, Xia Linchen turned around and smiled in her direction, "I haven't had time to say it yet, congratulations."
"Thank you." Cheng Kou's eyes fell on his face. Seeing that he was calm and his eyes were gentle, he felt relieved.
"The trip abroad has been cancelled. I will stay in City C and will be able to attend your wedding when the time comes."
"Yes." Cheng Kou couldn't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable. When he said he was leaving, she was sad, and now that he stayed, she was not very happy either.
Xia Linchen lowered his eyes, and his long, curled eyelashes obscured the halo and emptiness in his pupils.
He smiled very indifferently and said, "Cheng Kou, I just regret that I can't take wedding photos for you in person."
"That's easy. I'll wait for you to recover and then shoot another set for me."
Xia Linchen nodded: "Then it's a deal."
Cheng Kou placed her hand on her chest, feeling her own heartbeat. She still felt the joy when her secret love came true a few months ago. At that time, she could never have imagined that there would be so many twists and turns afterwards. She also became husband and wife with Su Yan after the dust settled.
But that's how life is. There are meetings and partings, gains and losses, and you can never predict what will happen in the next second.
Letting go of the past and cherishing the present is what everyone should do most.
