Chapter 66: The Engagement
The next day, just at the beginning of autumn, the sky was as blue as a wash, and it was indeed a good day for engagement.
The engagement banquet of Pei's successor is said to be atmospheric and luxurious, but it has become low-key and mysterious because Lin Shiyu insists on "only wanting the ceremony of two people".
In addition to the children in the choir in the Jiangnan Miduqiao Church, there are lilies everywhere, and a group of special bodyguards dressed in black suits stick to the door of the church, lined up in two rows, and their facial expressions are solemn.
The priest, dressed in a stern black robe, also stood solemnly, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.
An elegant white dress lined Pei Zhan, who was standing casually in front of the ceremony, refreshed, refined and elegant, and his handsome lips were bent with an indifferent smile as usual.
At half past ten, the wedding march sounded and the door was opened.
"Welcome to the bride ......"
The dazzling golden light shone through, and a holy angelic woman slowly appeared with Ling Bo's small steps.
The delicate makeup disappeared the tired cyan under her eyes, a faint smile curled at the corner of her lips, and she stepped on the red carpet covered with lilies with the bright spotlight, and walked towards Pei Zhan under the cross.
The plain white wedding dress and the pure white lily are natural, and under the hazy veil, a delicate face is beautiful and refined, and the ice is clear and jade-clean like a famous painting.
For a moment, it amazed everyone's eyebrows.
She came to him, and he greeted her.
Approaching, he stretched out his big hand, and she obediently put her little hand into his palm.
Everything seems to be close to perfect.
But, only he knows......
The moment his palm touched her little hand, how cold was her palm......
It's as if a piece of frozen ice doesn't notice a trace of warmth!
It's not like her at all like the one he remembers......
The two of them faced the priest with their fingers clasped together, and the corners of Pei Zhan's perfect lips smiled slightly, and he said to the priest, "Please start." ”
The priest opened the Bible and began to recite prayers.
After the prayer, the priest's solemn marriage words resounded throughout the quiet church: "Mr. Pei Zhan, would you like to marry Miss Lin Shiyu, live with her according to the teachings of the Bible, be one with her before God, love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her, and love her as you love yourself." Whether she is sick or healthy, rich or poor, always loyal to her until she leaves the world? ”
For a moment, the silence in the church was audible to breathing, as if even air molecules were waiting for the bridegroom to answer.
Pei Zhan turned his head sideways, and his gaze was fixed on the woman beside him who had been lowering her head and not glancing at him, "I do." There was no hesitation, no thought, no worries!
And his three words were like a stone that broke the originally calm mirror-like lake in Lin Shiyu's heart, causing layers of ripples, her eyes fluttering, not knowing where to fall.
In my memory, there was a teenager who said this to her, when they were young and high-spirited, and they didn't know what the cruelty of reality was, and they only thought that everything in the world would be perfect forever. But in the end, a disaster that shouldn't have happened turned everything upside down, leaving only a blood-drenched memory - years later, she finally understood that the past could never be lived again.
"What about you? My dear child, Miss Lin Shiyu! ”
The priest's solemn question rang in his ears again, Lin Shiyu came back to his senses, was stunned for three seconds, and then nodded, and smiled faintly, "I, I am willing to ......"
The voice is very soft, the tone is neither happy nor sad, and there are no waves on the face.
Everything was temporary in Pei Zhan's mouth, but Lin Shiyu understood......
This is not an impromptu idea! Even if you ignore the delicate decorations inside and outside the church, the wedding dress on her body and the diamond ring on her ring finger are too good in size.
It's just like - tailor-made!
If her memory had not waned, she could remember that she had never talked to him about her size, nor had she ever bought any clothes and jewelry together.
Abnormality is a demon! But she believes she can find out.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Shiyu felt for the first time that engagement could also torture people. As her thoughts wandered, the background music suddenly changed, from 'while the marriage was in progress' to a soothing waltz, and the spotlight of the whole church slowly softened.
I don't know when, the surrounding choir has left, and the priest is nowhere to be seen, before Lin Shiyu can react, Pei Zhan has already turned around to face her face, bent slightly towards her, and stretched out his right hand: "Is it okay?" ”
She looked up at him in a daze, looked at his smiling eyes, looked at the corners of his mouth lightly, breathed slightly, and finally put her right hand into his palm.
Pei Zhan flipped his wrist, held her five fingers, gently and forcefully took her into his arms, and then loosely wrapped his other arm around her waist, looking down at her, his eyes were deep, covering up all the slight changes in his thoughts, or rather, in fact, he didn't even notice it, just now, the moment the priest asked her if she was willing, he would actually be afraid of her answer—not the answer he wanted.
Lin Shiyu stood between his arms with his head down, felt his warm snort caress his ears, couldn't help but tilt his head, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and intuitively wanted to take a step back, but unexpectedly Pei Zhan's arm was loosely wrapped around her waist, she moved like this, he leaned forward, but invisibly narrowed the distance between each other - Lin Shiyu only felt that the arm hooked around her waist suddenly tightened, and the warm palm was directly attached to her lower waist, she couldn't help but look up at him in surprise, but found that he was lowering his head slightly, The eyes were bright, but there seemed to be something else in the usual gentle smile.
"I'm afraid that when the news of our engagement comes out, there will be a bunch of men going to jump off the building collectively......" Pei Zhan's voice was low and hoarse, as if he had something else to say, but before Lin Shiyu could hear it clearly, he had already hugged her and turned around with the gentle music.
Lin Shiyu was caught off guard by him like this, the hem of the dress spread out like a lily, spun in a circle, and fell again, but the crystal high heels on her feet slipped slightly, and the whole person lost her balance, and in an instant, she completely forgot that she actually had another support, and subconsciously reached out to hook his neck, and only after a moment did she react that she felt a little embarrassed.
"Isn't there a bunch of women going to jump into the sea en masse?" She fought back.
Pei Zhan rarely saw her like this, he just raised his eyebrows and smiled, and he didn't speak, but the speed of his dance steps slowed down a lot, his eyes fell on the top of her head, and the arm that hooked her quietly tightened a little - in an instant, he actually had a trance in his heart, wanting to hug her like this and never let go.
