Chapter 7: The Newlywed (1)
Ryan and Jasmine's wedding took place at eight o'clock the next morning.
The so-called wedding is just a small ceremony held in front of Lane's residence. Vincent, Mei Li and Yu Xiang, the editor-in-chief of the Ark Daily and a few colleagues, the bride's live-in friends, etc., add up to only a dozen or so people.
Jasmine is wearing a white wedding dress, the style of the fishtail skirt, outlining a tall figure, straight blonde hair neatly coiled behind the head, and elegant shoulders and neck looming under the tulle.
Ryan was wearing a black uniform specially prepared for marriage, and he looked very spirited, but his expression didn't seem to wake up.
The wedding was customarily officiated by an elderly man chosen from among the relatives and friends of both parties, and Ryan chose the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief announced that the two were married, and then the two took a vow to love each other, have children, and form a happy family for the progress of mankind.
The two then exchanged rings.
A small, sleek metal ring is placed on the ring finger, an ancient custom of prehistoric man, and now in the Ark, it is perhaps more like a sign of a married preferred citizen.
"Ryan, now you can kiss your bride." said the editor-in-chief.
Ryan spun towards Jasmine like a robot and stepped forward to lift the white veil from her head.
Jasmine's face was revealed. It was a face as perfect as morning dew, with snow-white skin, blue eyes, long eyelashes raised, and those eyes were looking at Ryan, gradually revealing joy, shyness, and welcome.
Everyone held their breath. Even in the ark where "everyone is the preferred creation", Jasmine is also a first-class beauty.
Ryan didn't move.
"Hey, are you asleep?" Vincent said in the back.
As if awake, Ryan raised his hands and gently grabbed Jasmine's shoulders, his fingers touching her skin. Then, Ryan turned his face slightly and leaned closer to Jasmine until his lips touched hers. - This is part of the wedding procedure as described in the Wedding Guide.
Just touch it and separate.
The crowd applauded.
This is the end of the ceremony, and people come forward to send blessings to the bride and groom. Mei Li looked at the two of them, her expression was excited, and even some of her eyes were red, "Bride, really beautiful......" Mei Li, who was usually sharp and sharp, only said this sentence for a long time.
"That's good. Yu Xiang comfortingly hugged Mei Li's shoulder.
"Okay, don't worry about it now, I said it earlier, this kid, good luck,—— it's really a blessing!" Vincent said.
Mei Li said to Jasmine: "Although Ryan is sometimes naughty and mischievous, and has a lot of ideas, he is still a very good person, don't worry, if he dares to treat you badly, you will come to me." ”
Jasmine was a head taller than Mei Li, looked down at Mei Li, and smiled gently, "How come, we are a matching pair." ”
"That's it, what the hell are you talking about!" Vincent said to Mei Li, and then looked at Jasmine: "But Mei Li is right about one thing, Ryan is a very good kid, and he has a high sense of morality, and he will never do anything to be sorry for you." When he said this, he winked at Jasmine, "It's just that he just got married today, and he probably doesn't fit in." ”
Jasmine noticed Vincent's blinking look, and her smile narrowed for a moment, but she quickly regained her smile and said, "It's normal, I'm not really used to it." ”
Jasmine's live-in friends and colleagues came over and hugged Jasmine, Jasmine's slender hands were on her nose, her eyes were red, and they said to Ryan, "You are a lucky man to marry our most beautiful and intelligent princess." ”
Mei Li, who has recovered, is not to be outdone: "Then our Ryan is also very good!" He was then dismissed by Vincent.
A slightly older woman, presumably Jasmine's boss at the workplace, wore a rare silk scarf around her neck, wiped her eyes with a well-made handkerchief, and said to Ryan, "You know, she could have been a scientist, but she ......" Jasmine stepped forward and hugged her.
Ryan nodded, his lips moved, but he only said for a long time: "Thank you." ”
Mei Li felt that Ryan's performance was not as good as it should be, and he was about to go up to help, but was stopped by Vincent again.
Everyone enjoyed the wedding snack together. Jasmine took the tray of snacks and put them in the hands of each guest one by one, and when she put them down, she bowed slightly, smiled, and behaved appropriately, while Ryan followed like a fool.
"What's wrong with this guy today?" May Lee said to Vincent.
"This woman...... Vincent looked at Jasmine's figure and shook his head, "It's not simple, it's not simple." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Mei Li suddenly showed a worried look again, "Then we, Lane, won't be bullied, right?" ”
The people quickly dispersed, and the two newlyweds moved into their new homes. Jasmine didn't have many things, and there were few personal belongings other than the exclusive supplies that the Ark provided to the bride. Ryan took Jasmine around the residence and introduced her around.
Jasmine kept a proper smile the whole time, and didn't seem to feel strange, and went straight to the master bedroom to carry her things.
Jasmine took off her veil and walked around the room in her wedding dress, which now looked like a white slim-fitting dress, and the Ark's resources were precious, and it was not like the ancients who made a dress just to wear it once.
Jasmine was barefoot, her slender calves looming, and Ryan had to admit that she was really beautiful, more beautiful than all the girls he had ever seen.
Jasmine was tidying up in the bedroom, and seeing that Ryan had been silent there, she sat down on the big white bed and looked at Ryan.
"So, we're married." She smiled, revealing her beautiful white teeth.
"Hmm." Ryan smiled too.
"Ha, although we are very fateful, we don't know each other yet, my name is Jasmine, 20 years old, my previous ID was 2-H-649, speaking of which, we don't live far away."
"Well, yes." As early as yesterday, after the match was completed, Ryan had already received all her information, name, age, resume from childhood to adulthood, physical condition, temperament preferences, almost everything.
She should have known about him as well.
"Maybe we've seen it in the clubs in Zone 2." Jasmine laughed.
"Possibly." Ryan smiled too.
"So, um, nice to meet you." Jasmine said.
"Well, I'm happy too."
"I mean, it's a pleasure to marry you."
"Well, me, too."
Ryan walked down the stairs. As he went downstairs, he realized that the bedroom of his preferred person's residence had been occupied by a woman he had just met this morning.
To be honest, he didn't know if Jasmine's words were polite or sincere. Jasmine is a person who has been excellent since childhood. At the age of 20, he passed the vocational aptitude test and assessment and entered the Institute of Human Progress, which is a place that specializes in the study of human beings, and it is impossible to enter without a first-class mind and great ambition. It is said that the salary there is also first-class, and entering it is equivalent to stepping into the circle of the rich with half a foot. The old woman was right, even if she didn't become a preferred person, she could still make achievements in the field of work, and maybe she could move into the non-preferred senior area of District 6 in the future, and the conditions were not necessarily worse than here. But in the same year that she entered the institute, she passed the first time she participated in the preferred person test. God was so unfair that he gave her almost a full set of genes that were excellently encoded.
And she turned out to be the opposite sex with the highest genetic match with him.
Ryan couldn't figure out the science behind it anyway. He thought that Jasmine might be an expert, but he was afraid that asking would expose his ignorance even more.
Ryan lay down on the couch on the first floor, the aches and scars all over his body telling him that he must have had a hellish day yesterday. However, he could not remember anything before he drank that glass of water.
