"Nervous?" Chen Jianguo asked with a smile.
"I'm sorry. I... I'm not in the mood right now. "
"I'm nervous too." Chen leaned over and held out his hand to Rinperan. "This is the first time I've taken a picture with a girl. I'm so nervous that I'm sweating."
Ringpelin was stunned for a moment, and then he could not help but laugh.
Ye Zichen looked at the tall and sturdy man, who knew that he was actually as nervous as him.
"Think of me as your brother. Naturally, or else we might become the longest couple in the history of this photo studio."
The first half of Chen Jianguo's sentence, which was written by Lin Pilan, was filled with calmness, but the second half was filled with shock.
By the time the owner of the studio came in, Lin was ready. Chen was sitting next to her, and the page was stiff as before.
"That's right! "It doesn't matter if the young couple are a bit shy, but they'll have to look at the marriage certificate for the rest of their lives. They have to be beautiful and beautiful …"
The owner of the studio spoke nonstop. He didn't delay the work in his hands at all. After he pointed them in the right direction, the photos were taken much faster. He pressed on the shutter button with a "Kacha Kacha" sound.
In 1984, on the ninth day of June, the wedding between Limpilan and Chen Jianguo officially began.
Since it was rare for a large family to arrive, the aunt suggested taking two group photos, with Rimperan and Chen Jianguo sitting in the middle with their families behind them.
"Auntie, you guys wait in the car for a while. I'll take Peran for a walk and then we'll be back."
Outside the photo studio, when they passed a small alley, Chen stopped the car and called for Lin to get out. He told everyone to wait in the car for a while.
"Go ahead!" "Little girl, you're shy. I think you should protect her."
Under the dubious gaze of the crowd, Lin Pilan got off the car under pressure and followed Chen Jianguo into the alley.
Not knowing what Chen Jianguo was going to do, Lin could only follow. Soon, Chen Jianguo slowed down and walked with her.
The alley only allowed the two of them to walk side by side. Chen Jianguo was tall, so he purposely slowed down his pace to walk together with Ringpelin. Ringpelin suddenly felt as if the two of them occupied the entire alley.
The fact that, after the photographs, a strange man was just a few feet away and was about to become her husband made her uneasy.
He did not dare to speak nor did he dare to look at Chen Jianguo. He could only lower his head to look at the uneven surface of the green brick road. Clearly, he had aged for quite some time.
"Be careful!"
With a tight grip on his waist, Limpilan who was focused on walking forward was pulled into his arms. A bicycle with wind whizzing past was followed by a sharp whistle.
When she finally reacted, all that was left of her was a gaudy figure on a bicycle as she sped through the alleyway, protected by Chen Jianguo.
"This was even a building built during the Republic of China period. The alleyway was designed to be small, so it's not very convenient to pass through. Incidents happen. "
Chen Jianguo politely let go of Rinperan and explained to her why he had hugged her.
"Oh!" "Thank you." The tips of Ringpelin's ears were red as he pushed the hair behind his cheeks in an attempt to hide it.
Chen Jianguo looked at the dark red earlobes and the action of lowering his head, which made his slim neck and little daughter stand out. His heart was beating rapidly for no reason. This feeling came too suddenly, leaving him at a loss for what to do.
He quickly looked away, cleared his throat, and awkwardly broke the awkward atmosphere.
"We're right in front. This alley is small, and there might be people coming out. Let's go in front!"
"Alright!" Ringpelin nodded and walked on.
There seemed to be something between the two of them that was unclear, but neither of them dared to say it out loud.
Along the way, they passed by the tailor shop, the carpenter's shop, and the tofu workshop, but Chen Jianguo didn't stop at all. In the middle of the alley, there was a sign that said "Gold Shop".
"This is?"
"This is it. He hadn't returned for a few years, he didn't expect the golden shop to still be here. Let's go in and take a look. "
There was a dark counter and an old master wearing a magnifying glass was linking the necklace in his hands. Just from the shop's appearance, one could not tell that this was a gold shop.
"Are young people going to wear wedding jewelry? Gold rings, and even golden necklaces.
The old master put down what he was doing and greeted him with a smile.
"Peran, choose a few styles."
There was an old booklet on the counter, printed with a variety of jewelry styles, and it was dazzling to look at. Chen Jianguo stuffed the booklet into Lin Peran's hand, leaving her to choose on her own.
"There's no need for that! I don't wear this. " Ringpelin quickly refused.
Those two dresses and a pair of leather shoes were already the limit of what she could accept about this stranger who was about to become her husband. She definitely wouldn't take these pieces of gold and silver jewelry.
"Then choose a pair of rings! You and I will each get one. "
After two days of rough contact, Chen Jianguo still had a rough understanding of Ringeland's personality. A shy and quiet girl, it was probably because she hadn't accepted him yet.
He did not force Chen Jianguo. He flipped through it himself and pointed to one of the pictures in the ring.
Chen Jianguo took a look at Rinperan's waving hand, slender and white, with the flexibility of a girl.
"This model will be worn by men and women in different sizes. Her is number four, my number six, and I'll get it later. "
"Alright!" If the deposit is not enough, you can make up for it later. The old master readily agreed.
"Stop buying, it's so expensive, don't waste it …"
Seeing Chen Jianguo give two 50 yuan bills directly, Lin Peilan's eyes suddenly opened wide. This person was too stingy. He didn't feel bad spending money to buy such impractical things.
He had completely forgotten to ask what that number six meant.
"Men and women who are married abroad must wear wedding rings and never take them off for the rest of their lives. We won't buy anything else, just a pair of rings. "
Chen Jianguo spoke with seriousness. His dark face was filled with a smile and sincerity, as well as that domineering attitude that could not be refused by Lin Pilan.
My whole life!
What a beautiful word, said Rinperan, looking at Chen Jianguo's smiling face. For a moment, she didn't know how to refuse.
The two of them walked into the alley empty-handed, and then went out empty-handed. No one asked anything, only the aunt looked at Lin Pilan's neck and hands with sparkling eyes. Others didn't know there was a gold shop there, but she did know that Chen Jianguo had clearly taken Rinperan to buy jewelry.
However, since Chen Jianguo didn't mention it, the aunt naturally didn't say anything. As long as she knew that Chen Jianguo really liked Rinperan, this marriage was guaranteed.
Everyone was driven back to town by Chen Jianguo. The aunt got out of the car ahead of time, beaming, and repeatedly said that she would come over to help when they went to collect their tickets on Monday.
