[09]
Chi Qiu still remembered that half a month before the wedding, he and Lu Ming took a group photo for the first time.
The moment the photographer pressed the shutter button, he was extremely embarrassed, always feeling that his tie was crooked, or his suit was not buttoned properly. His palms were sweaty, and he stood beside Lu Ming nervously, with a huge bouquet of balloon roses beside his hand.
The balloon lightly touched Chi Qiu's shoulder, Chi Qiu didn't dare to move, and stood up straight in a daze.
"The groom on the right should relax, don't be so nervous." The photographer said in a miserable voice, "Can the groom on the left smile a little? Don't be so serious, you are the ones who are going to get married."
Lu Ming stood on the left with a deep expression on his face.
The noisy photographer made him upset. He glanced at the time on the wall and thought that there was a meeting to be held in the afternoon, so he couldn't help urging: "Please hurry up, I still have work to do."
"Sorry, I was too nervous."
Chi Qiu heard that his tone was not very good, thinking that he had wasted too much time, he quickly took a deep breath to make himself look more natural: "If you are really busy, why don't you forget it today? Let's change the time."
Lu Ming said bluntly: "No, it's my fault. I didn't adjust the time properly." He said to the photographer, "Let's just shoot like this, it's pretty good, don't need to adjust too much."
The photographer was dumbfounded, and based on the principle that the customer is God, he said with an awkward smile: "Okay, I understand." He was muttering in his heart: What's so good
When it comes to wedding photos, you always want to take good-looking and happy photos, how can you be so rigid. The photographer took pictures with a SLR and pressed the shutter one by one, but none of them satisfied him.
Today can be said to be Waterloo in his photography career.
After shooting this set of clothes, while Lu Ming took Chi Qiu to change into another set of clothes, the photographer took a sip of red dates and wolfberry tea angrily, and complained a few words to the studio manager full of resentment.
The manager patted him on the shoulder: "You didn't see that one of them was blind."
"It's not that I haven't taken orders from blind couples before. I've never seen such unloving ones. I saw that Mr. Chi was still a little happy to get married, but he was a little bit reluctant and too shy. That Mr. Lu was a little No, those who didn’t know thought he was forced to get married.” The photographer clicked his tongue, “I guess this group of photos won’t look very good.”
"Okay, you can shoot whatever you want. The money delivered to the door is not profitable. They didn't choose a single location. Let's take it easy for indoor shooting."
"The photos are not well taken. If the client is not satisfied, don't they have to retake them?"
The boss glanced back to make sure that the person hadn't come yet, and asked the photographer to rest assured: "Who would be dissatisfied? Mr. Chi cares about this set of photos, but he can't see the problem."
And the one who can see it obviously doesn't care much.
Ten minutes later, Lu Ming and Chi Qiu had changed into the second set of clothes.
They only took two sets, one suit and one classical dress. Originally, in this package, you could choose five sets of clothes for shooting, but Lu Ming thought it was troublesome, so he only chose two sets.
That day, Lu Ming took Chi Qiu to the photo studio to go through the pre-marriage process while answering the work call from his secretary. Accompanying him was his uncle who came back early from abroad to attend the wedding.
When choosing the costumes for the shoot, Chi Qiu asked Lu Ming for his opinion, and what he got was Lu Ming casually pointing: "Two sets."
Chi Qiu grabbed the corner of Lu Ming's clothes: "Is two sets enough? They said they can choose five sets."
"Do you want five sets?" Lu Ming asked back.
Chi Qiu was stunned for a moment. It wasn't a question of whether he wanted to, but that when everyone chose this package, they would carefully select five sets of clothes. Sensitively aware of Lu Ming's confusion, he shook his head in confusion.
"If you want to take pictures of five outfits, we need to readjust the timing. I may be busy recently."
"No need!" Knowing that Lu Ming only chose two sets because of work, Chi Qiu felt much better. He put away his disappointment and said contentedly: "Two sets are enough, the one you choose looks good."
Lu Ming's uncle couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled Lu Ming aside and educated him: "Even if you are acting with him, you can't be so perfunctory?"
"I'm not perfunctory, and I don't intend to act anymore."
"..."
"He likes me, and has liked me for many years. So I really want to marry him and be his partner." He was silent for a moment, and thought of a safe way to say, "This is my return to him."
Lu Ming's uncle was noncommittal, with a complicated expression on his face.
He tried to prevent Lu Ming from returning to China to do these seemingly crazy things, but failed. Looking at Chi Qiu not far away, he inexplicably sympathized with the poor little blind man.
Seeing nothing means that everything can be deceived.
"Lu Ming, you have to come out, people can't be stuck in the past for a lifetime, and they shouldn't sacrifice others like this..."
Lu Ming interrupted him: "I can't fall in love with anyone in my life, so he and I are very suitable. In our marriage, there will be no betrayal, so there will be no sacrifice."
In Lu Ming's eyes, he and Chi Qiu complement each other. They both have what they want from each other.
It is fairest to get what we need from each other.
"But do you really understand what he wants in return?" Uncle glanced at Lu Ming, quite annoyed by these words, and said angrily, "You don't have this kind of thing, you have lost it for a long time! If it's just a show, it won't be complete forever."
What Chi Qiu really wanted was Lu Ming's long-lost feelings.
Lu Ming stopped talking.
In fact, he denied the other party's remarks from the bottom of his heart.
The young uncle saw his thoughts, and helplessly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He stopped embarrassing Lu Ming, and he resumed his usual gentleness: "This is the end, no matter how much I say, it's useless. You just Let's choose a few sets of clothes with him, he will be happy." He signaled Lu Ming to hurry over and don't keep Chi Qiujiu waiting.
Lu Ming stopped on the spot and explained: "He can't see it at all. To him, these photos are the same as several sets of clothes."
It's just a piece of photo paper in your hand.
Lu Ming said: "I don't think choosing a few sets of clothes is just perfunctory to him. As you can see, he is not unhappy."
Since Chi Qiu didn't say that he wanted to choose more clothes, it was unnecessary. Lu Ming believes that people will not open their mouths or act on things they don't need.
Besides, Lu Ming felt that the wedding photos that Chi Qiu was looking forward to had little meaning. To him, this thing is unnecessary; to Chi Qiu, it has no value in existence.
Originally, he did not arrange this item.
It was Chi Qiu who had been looking forward to it for a long time, but there was no movement, so he asked him coyly, "When are we going to take wedding photos? I heard that after everyone gets married, they will hang a very large wedding photo in their new house." He said When I was there, I was very shy, with a slight smile on the corner of my mouth, full of anticipation.
He felt that a serious person like Lu Ming would not take the initiative to hang a wedding photo on the wall, so he wanted to ask Lu Ming's opinion first: "I also want to hang one, do you mind?"
Lu Ming paused.
He just remembered that there is still such a stubble.
"do not mind."
"That's good." Chi Qiu thought that Lu Ming was busy with work and forgot, and said considerately, "Have you not decided where to shoot yet? If you don't have time recently, it's the same if we go to make up the shoot later."
"No, we'll shoot next week."
Lu Ming turned on the phone screen and immediately sent a message to his secretary, asking him to make a reservation for him, the sooner the better.
Chi Qiu heard his typing and knew that Lu Ming was busy with this matter, so he waited quietly for a while. After Lu Ming and his secretary finished sending messages, he lowered his head and said apologetically, "I can't see, I can't choose a place by myself, and I can't help you with the wedding. You have to work hard all by yourself."
"I don't find it hard." Lu Ming told Chi Qiu not to think too much, this is what he should do.
"Thank you."
Chi Qiu stretched out his hand, and Lu Ming stretched out his hand too, and the two hands clasped together.
Chi Qiu is not tall, only 173 cm tall. Compared with Lu Ming, who is 185 cm tall, Chi Qiu's hands are a circle smaller, and can be completely held by Lu Ming in his hands.
Chi Qiu's expression was very gentle, and he was full of hope for the future.
"Lu Ming, I... I will definitely be a good partner." Suddenly, he lowered his eyes, and a blush appeared on his cheeks. Like the petals falling on the face in spring, it is stained with light love words, which are strange and sincere: "I will love you every day."
Lu Ming looked at him, and put the blush in his eyes, which was a little warm.
He couldn't understand the heat. After looking away, he gradually cooled the temperature and asked softly, "How do you love?"
When he finished asking, he regretted it. He felt that he had unknowingly made things difficult for Chi Qiu.
Because for Lu Ming, this is a difficult question. He can't feel love, and it's hard for him to express love. As his uncle said, from the second he witnessed his mother's death, he lost everything.
