Su Yan brought Cheng Kou back to the Su family mansion, and now almost all the relatives were present.
The Su family is indeed a large family. Cheng Kou has a hard time recognizing people and has been so tired of receiving red envelopes.
When the new daughter-in-law came home, all the elders were generous with their gifts. When Cheng Kou returned to his room at night, he checked it and was shocked, so he quickly handed everything over to Su Yan.
Su Yan confiscated it and smiled as if it was nothing special: "You can keep it and use it to buy some clothes or bags you like."
Cheng Kou shook his head: "It's still too much."
Su Yan explained, "I'm young, and my brothers all gave money, so I gave a little more." He recalled the grand occasion when Shen Lifeng got married, and told her, "Xiaoqi is the youngest. When she married Shen Luo, everyone from grandfather to Qin Shan gave big red envelopes, and I gave so much." He winked at Cheng Kou and pinched a piece of thickness with his thumb and index finger.
Cheng Kou: “…”
She didn't understand the world of rich people. After dinner, the younger generations were chatting in the side hall and talking about their cars. Shen Lifeng disliked that Su Yan hadn't bought a new car for a long time, and bluntly said that she wanted to give him the new car she had just bought as a wedding gift.
This sentence was simply a provocation to a fight, and soon it became a heated fight. Millions of cars were sent back and forth between them, which made Cheng Kou tremble with fear.
Su Yan thought about it, then smiled and said, "No need to save money, they will give a big one soon anyway, this time even Qin Shan and Xiao Qi will bleed a lot."
Cheng Kou didn't understand and looked over with a puzzled look.
She was sitting on the bed, and her innocent look made Su Yan happy. He walked to her side, bent down and whispered something in her ear.
Cheng Kou's face suddenly turned red, and his body seemed to be steaming.
Who... who will give birth to your child...
This is the Su family mansion, so Su Yan naturally cannot do whatever he wants. It’s not a problem of sound insulation. This villa has excellent sound insulation. Even if there is a lot of noise here, the people next door won’t hear it.
But he still couldn't take it for granted, otherwise someone would see his wrinkled bed tomorrow. Cheng Kou was too shy to see anyone.
The next day, Shen Wenzhou took Cheng Kou to Qingyin Temple on the outskirts of City B to burn incense and pray. Although Cheng Kou didn't believe in these things, he also bowed sincerely several times.
—May her parents and relatives be healthy, may she and Su Yan be safe and sound, may Xia Linchen recover his sight soon, and may all her friends’ wishes come true…
Thinking about it this way, she really has a lot of wishes. She can only hope that Buddha will see how hard she is praying and make them all come true.
As soon as he walked out of the temple gate, Cheng Kou saw Su Yan's car parked in a conspicuous position.
Su Yan came over, took the bags from Shen Wenzhou and Cheng Kou, and walked with them to the parking lot.
Shen Wenzhou joked with his son: "Xiao Yan, why did you come here in person? Are you afraid that I will kidnap Kou Bao?"
Su Yan smiled and said, "Mom, not only am I here, Dad is also in the car."
Just as he walked to the car window, Shen Wenzhou smiled and said, "Oh? What are you doing here, old man? Are you here to check on us?"
Su Zhong was sitting in the passenger seat and heard her words through the glass. He lowered the window halfway and said, "I think you really have a bad memory because of your age. Didn't Dad say before that you should bring Koubao to meet Mom?"
Shen Wenzhou patted the back of his hands and said, "Oh, look at my brain, I really forgot."
Su Zhong turned to Cheng Kou and said, "Koubao, get in the car quickly."
There is a fork in the road halfway up Qingyin Mountain. One road leads to Qingyin Temple, and the other leads to Qingyin Mountain Cemetery.
Grandma Su passed away nearly ten years ago and is buried here.
Cheng Kou lit a stick of incense for Grandma Su, and then gazed at the photo on the tombstone in the smoke - Grandma Su had kind eyes and a gentle expression, and she looked kind and gentle.
Next to it is a photo of her when she was young, showing her as a pretty and graceful Jiangnan beauty. Most of the Su family members have a pair of dark eyes, which seems to be inherited from Grandma Su.
"Grandma also knew how to play the bamboo flute." Su Yan looked a little nostalgic, "My favorite is the song 'Wang Jiangnan'."
"She was a daughter of a wealthy family in Jiangnan. She followed her grandfather, who had nothing, to City B and devoted herself to running the family." Su Yan lowered his eyelids. "After my grandfather became rich, my grandmother didn't change. She was always so gentle until she passed away."
"When I was little, I liked grandma very much. I believe there is no one in the family who doesn't like grandma." Su Yan put his arm around Cheng Kou's shoulders, with regret in his tone, "If I had confessed to you earlier in high school and brought you home, she would have been able to see you."
Cheng Kou said to the gentle woman in the photo: "Grandma, I am Koubao. Although it took a long time for me to say hello to you, I will come to see you often with Su Yan in the future."
Su Yan tightened his arms and smiled silently.
After returning to City C, Cheng Kou and Su Yan became busy.
Now that the marriage certificate has been obtained, the wedding is naturally put on the agenda. The wedding banquet will be held at Yueyi, which is their own venue, so there is naturally no need to queue.
Shen Wenzhou was more anxious than anyone else. He found a manager he liked and picked the nearest auspicious day from among the possible dates.
The church chosen for the wedding was the largest and oldest one in City C. Shen Wenzhou used some connections and finally got it settled.
Cheng Kou never thought that his wedding would be in winter.
A lawn wedding in the spring with blooming flowers is beautiful, but fortunately, winter also has its own romance.
Everyone in the Su family was busy as time was really tight. The first thing to consider was the wedding dress, which was every girl's dream.
Time was running out, and Cheng Kou originally wanted to buy a ready-made set, but Su Yan insisted on finding a designer to customize it, and personally checked the design draft, and absolutely would not allow her to get away with it.
From measuring the size, looking at the design draft, to trying on, modifying and finally producing the finished product, it took nearly a month. Cheng Kou went to the studio more frequently than to the magazine office.
In the end, Cheng Kou was so tired that she cried out: "This wedding is so exhausting!"
Su Yan ruffled her hair and placed a kiss on it.
In fact, he was even more tired than Cheng Kou. Although all the details of the wedding were discussed and decided by the two of them, he was the only one who implemented these things.
Shen Ru had an additional job assignment, which was to help her boss plan a wedding, and she was busy like a top every day.
Su Yan personally took care of every detail to ensure that every link was foolproof.
In addition, he also wanted to give Cheng Kou a surprise, so he wrote the lyrics himself and found Sheng Rongxi, who was known as a "composition genius", to write the song for the wedding.
Sheng Rongxi was reluctant at first, but after seeing his lyrics, she readily agreed.
At four o'clock in the morning on the wedding day, Cheng Kou was awakened by Song Qingwu. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. When she opened the bathroom window, she found that it was snowing outside.
This was the first snowy day of this winter. Dad Cheng was still worried if something would go wrong at the wedding, but Song Qingwu said that snow was a good sign and everything would go well.
Sure enough, the snow stopped before the wedding started. The air was exceptionally fresh, and the sunlight was abundant and warm.
Su Yan stood at the end of the red carpet, with best man Rong Yan beside him and a priest in a black robe behind him. He faced his family and friends with a faint but extremely happy smile on his lips.
When Cheng Kou appeared at the door of the church, the sunlight suddenly dazzled his eyes. He squinted his eyes and finally saw Cheng Kou's appearance on the other side. The exquisite wedding dress on her was many times more beautiful than he had imagined.
He bathed in the bright sunshine, as if he saw love coming towards him.
When the handsome groom kissed the beautiful bride, the audience burst into warm applause.
However, this was far from the climax of the wedding. That was the part that was hidden from Cheng Kou in advance. The love song written for Cheng Kou was sung by the man she loved the most and who loved her the most.
Cheng Kou had never heard Su Yan sing before. He didn't know if it was because of his excitement, but his breathing was a little unstable. However, his pitch was accurate, his voice was clear, and there was a hint of unexpected tenderness in his transitions.
Cheng Kou's favorite line of lyrics was in the chorus, and Su Yan sang it over and over again.
—My heart is a high mountain, and you are the only flower blooming on it.
Time and space seemed to shift all of a sudden, and she returned to ten years ago, the same day of the first snow, on the way to school, people were coming and going on campus. A few steps ahead of her was the indifferent and distant boy, with a straight back, looking thin, but with exceptionally broad shoulders. He had a clean schoolbag on his shoulders, not high up like a nerd, but with the straps deliberately extended, and the seemingly empty schoolbag casually slung behind him.
Cheng Kou followed him, following the traces he had walked, and based on her memory, she deliberately placed her footsteps on every patch of ground he had stepped on. His feet were naturally bigger than hers, and she would feel secretly delighted that her footprints were surrounded by his.
Suddenly he stopped, but Cheng Kou didn't notice. His face avoided the two straps of his schoolbag and hit the boy's slightly baggy school uniform directly, and the tip of his nose was burned by the temperature of his body.
She hurriedly pushed him away a little, and the boy turned around. When he saw her, his usually expressionless face suddenly softened, and a smile gradually gathered in his eyes, making his bright eyes look even more lively.
Cheng Kou suddenly realized that he was so handsome. Her cheeks blushed, but she gained infinite courage under his gaze.
"Hello, I'm Cheng Kou from Class 10."
"Cheng Kou." These two words spun around on his tongue, and suddenly had a different taste. Su Yan showed a smile that was more dazzling than Chu Xue's, "Nice to meet you."
After a pause, he continued, "I have noticed you for a long time, and I like you very much."
Cheng Kou didn't dare to blink, fearing that he would disappear the moment her eyes closed, and everything that had just happened would be an illusion. But no matter how scared she was, she had to respond to it, so as not to let down her secret love for him for so long.
In the end, she just lowered her head, said "Oh" softly, walked slowly to his side, and said, "Time is almost up, let's go to class."
Su Yan didn't say anything and walked towards the teaching building with her.
They walked side by side, leaving behind a trail of side-by-side footprints.
The sun shines brightly on the day of the first snow, but it seems reluctant to melt these traces that represent happiness.
