I almost touched the moon

In April, cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Kyoto. The ancient trees in front of Nanzen-ji Temple decorate the temple from a hundred years ago. When the wind blows, the petals fall like snowflakes.

Wen Song, wearing a kimono, strolled leisurely in the temple with Cheng Che, looking at the falling flowers in front of them with a smile on his face.

"Over the years, I have come to Kyoto to stay for a month every spring."

She smiled calmly, and when she lowered her head, her slender white neck was exposed. The blue and white flower hair accessories with pearl tassels on her temples, together with the kimono that was a gradient light blue with silver and white flower patterns embroidered on it, made her cold eyes look a little more gentle.

"But actually, it's nothing special. I've seen it for so many years, I'm tired of it." She stretched out her hand and caught a falling petal, and her tone suddenly became more melancholy.

Cheng Che turned around and bent down to kiss her forehead. He loved seeing Wen Song wearing a kimono, which made her look particularly noble and gentle.

He gently stroked her face, smiled softly, and said to her: "In fact, in recent years, I have come to Japan every year during the cherry blossom season. Sometimes I go to Fukuoka, sometimes to Shizuoka and Yamanashi, and I have also been to Kyoto many times... It's okay, sister, I will definitely accompany you every year in the future."

"No need." Wen Song smiled, took his hand and said, "I think the cherry blossoms outside my house are also beautiful. I'm tired of the cherry blossoms in Kyoto. Besides, there are so many people."

"Okay." Cheng Che responded with a smile, and then said to her, "Would you like to accompany me to Fushimi Inari Taisha?"

"No." Wen Song blurted out subconsciously, "There are so many people, and I don't want to walk."

However, seeing Cheng Che's expectant eyes, she immediately changed her words, "Go ahead, I want to go too. But if I can't walk anymore, you have to carry me on your back."

Cheng Che smiled and nodded, kissed her eyes, and said to her: "Of course, if you can walk, I can carry you."

Although it was a weekday, the shrine was still crowded with tourists, and the Thousand Torii Gates were filled with people taking photos and checking in.

Wen Song had been here many times and was already familiar with the route. He avoided the crowd and, hand in hand with Cheng Che, slowly walked up the path from the back mountain to the top of the mountain.

"Fox!" Cheng Che suddenly saw a white figure in the dense forest. He was overjoyed, but afraid of disturbing the white fox, he lowered his voice and said to Wen Song, "Songsong, look, there is a white fox."

Wen Song also saw the fox and was very surprised, but he didn't dare to go up and disturb it. He could only stand not far away and quietly watch the fox playing and running in the woods.

She whispered, "The white fox is the messenger of the Inari God. Although Shintoism says that the white fox, like the Inari God, cannot be seen by the naked eye, I think we are still very lucky. Foxes are really cute. I like foxes the most."

Cheng Che smiled, held her hand tightly and said, "Then the wishes we made today will definitely come true. I like foxes, too. But isn't puppies your favorite?"

Wen Song understood the meaning of his words and coaxed him, "Yes, I like you the most, little dog."

At the entrance of the shrine, a couple was holding a wedding. The bride wore a snow-white wedding dress, the most classic and traditional Japanese wedding dress, pure and noble.

"Bai Wu Gou is so beautiful." Wen Song couldn't help but exclaim, "This girl is also so beautiful."

Cheng Che smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll give you a set."

Cheng Che had long seen that she loved kimonos, and not only did she have a collection of many luxurious kimonos, but in the past few days in Kyoto, whenever she went out, she would go out of her way to wear a visiting dress or a small furisode kimono.

"No, I have one." Wen Song said with a smile, "Yun Jia gave it to me. We even took a photo together. It's just that the White Wedding Dress is too difficult to put on. I need two people to help me. It's also too heavy. I can't walk after putting it on."

Wen Song also took out a photo from her phone and showed it to Cheng Che. In the photo, she was wearing a pure white coat, with her long hair tied up. Her tall figure supported the heavy clothes. She had a smile on her face, looking cool and bright.

"This is a photo of me and Yunjia." Wen Song continued to show him another photo. In the photo, she and Li Yunjia were holding hands and their smiles were obviously brighter. "At that time, the photographer asked us if we were really going to get married."

Cheng Che also nodded and agreed, "Yes, she is really your dear husband, and she also gave you the White Wife. I am really redundant. Call her now and ask her to accompany you. I won't be a light bulb anymore."

"Are you jealous?" Wen Song smiled, poked his face and said, "If you like, we can also take a photo."

"I don't wear white wedding gown..." Cheng Che muttered, "I'm not a girl."

"..."

Wen Song was speechless, he hit him lightly and said, "Idiot! You wear a black haori, I don't want to see you in a white wedding dress, it's scary! But, I think you don't look as good in a kimono as in a suit."

"Let's go take the photo." Cheng Che said happily, "I really want to see how my sister looks in the White Wedding Dress."

Cheng Che knew that he couldn't ask for too much. Wen Song had already made the biggest concession by agreeing to register for marriage with him when she was ready. As for the wedding, he knew that Wen Song found it troublesome and never yearned for a dreamy wedding, so he didn't dare to ask for too much.

In that case, let's take photos in Kyoto with her wearing black haori and white wedding clothes and treat it as their wedding.

After making a wish, Wen Song asked curiously, "What did you wish for this time?"

"I hope that I can be with my sister forever, and never be apart." Cheng Che's tone suddenly became a little doubtful, "I think the Inari God will definitely fulfill my wish."

"Inari-sama may not be able to achieve it, but Iseylia-sama can."

"Song Song, you can't be disrespectful to the gods." Cheng Che quickly covered her mouth, praying that the gods didn't understand Chinese and wouldn't understand her "treasonous words."

Wen Song is a staunch materialist who doesn't believe in any gods or Buddhas. He comes to the shrine just for fun. Cheng Che doesn't believe in this either, but influenced by his grandmother and mother, he always holds the attitude of "respecting ghosts and gods but keeping them at a distance".

Especially after meeting Wen Song, he began to believe it. He didn't know what else he could do, maybe he could only pray for the protection of God.

Fortunately, Sugawara no Michizane of Fukuoka Tenmangu Shrine, the God of Cologne Cathedral, Guanyin Bodhisattva of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, and Inari Okami of Kyoto all heard his wish.

Wen Song smiled, let go of his hand and walked a few steps forward quickly, then turned back and smiled, looking at Cheng Che and said, "In that case, I won't fulfill your wish."

That was a scene that Cheng Che would never forget in his life. It was the afternoon at the top of the mountain, the sun was shining brightly, and the sunlight just happened to shine on her face, blurring her features. However, her smile was brighter than the sunlight, and her fair skin seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light. At that moment, she was his god.

Cheng Che also walked quickly to her side, took her hand, lowered his head and kissed her thin lips, "No, my wish can only be fulfilled by you."

"Ah Che, let's get married."

Wen Song opened her lips slightly and watched him utter a word calmly. Because it was so plain, Cheng Che even thought that she was just asking him what he wanted to eat for dinner later.

"When the Easter holidays are over, we will go back to Zurich to register our marriage."

"Although today is April Fool's Day, I will still take your joke seriously."

Because he was too surprised and happy, Cheng Che didn't dare to believe what she said. He would rather lie to himself, maybe Wen Song was just playing an April Fool's joke on him. In this way, even if she said, "Happy April Fool's Day", he wouldn't be too sad.

Wen Song smiled, stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, looked at him firmly and said: "This is not a joke, I am serious."

Wen Song stood beside Cheng Che, looking at the layers of red torii on the mountain road with him, and said softly: "I have thought about it for a long time in the past month, and I found that I don't trust marriage because in my memory, no one's marriage is happy.

But Ah Che, I believe in you, I want to be with you forever, I know you won't change. So, I want to live with you forever in a legal and relatively stable way. Are you willing? "

"I do. How could I not want to?" Cheng Che hugged her tightly, with such force that he almost melted her into his bones and blood.

"But shouldn't I propose to you? Why did you do my thing? I even prepared an engagement ring. Songsong, what should I do if you do this? I don't care. It doesn't count this time." In front of her, Cheng Che would still reveal his childish but serious and pure side from time to time.

Wen Song pretended to be displeased, turned his head and said angrily: "Well, it seems that you don't want to marry me, then just ignore what I said."

"No! How could I not want to marry you!" Cheng Che immediately hugged her again, "What I mean is, can you let me propose to you again? Give me a chance, please?"

"Okay." Wen Song was happy to go along with him, "Then I'll look forward to your proposal."

At night, Cheng Che took Wen Song to Shojuin Temple in Kyoto. Under the light, the calm water reflected the pink cherry blossom forest, and together with the colorful night cherry blossoms in the courtyard, embellished this century-old temple.

Wen Song changed into a moon-white kimono with five-patterned kimonosode. The pearly white waistband was decorated with gold-thread bamboo patterns. The kimono was solid color throughout, and the hem was decorated with hand-embroidered musical instrument patterns, making it look particularly luxurious.

Cheng Che wore a light beige suit with black notch lapels, a white shirt, a black vest and trousers of the same color, and a bow tie.

Wen Song couldn't help but joke, "It's just a proposal, there's no need to dress up like you're getting married."

He smiled and said, "I'll wear a tuxedo for you when we get married."

Cheng Che knelt on one knee, took out the white rose he had prepared and handed it to her, opened the ring box in his hand, looked at Wen Song and said firmly: "Iseylia, I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you, but I'm in love with you."

(I love you. You are the only person I have ever loved deeply and the one I will always love.)

"Ich m?chte ein Teil von dir sein, ich m?chte dich fur immer begleiten.Ich werde dich nie verraten, dich nie traurig oder entt?uscht lassen."

(I want to be a part of you, and I want to be with you forever. I will never betray you or make you sad or disappointed.)

"Ich werde mich nicht in dein Leben einmischen, du wirst immer frei sein und nur dir geh?ren, aber ich werde auch dir geh?ren."

(I will not interfere with your life. You will always be free and belong to yourself, and I will belong to you.)

"Iseylia, Willst du mich heiraten?"

(Will you marry me?)

The white spotlight shines on the diamond ring, which is in the shape of a sun. In the middle is a round vivid pink diamond, and the sunlit part is paved with a circle of light pink diamonds. Below the sunflower is a laurel leaf carved with white diamonds, shining brightly under the light.

But in Wen Song's eyes, Cheng Che's eyes were more dazzling than the most colorful diamonds, and the light in his eyes far surpassed the light of the diamonds.

Wen Song didn't know when her eyes became wet and tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't even say anything else. She just looked at him and nodded while crying.

It turns out that being proposed to feels like this. Compared to her words "Let's get married", Cheng Che's words have obviously been practiced many times in his mind. And this ring, he must have already decided on it. It turns out that in the time she didn't know, Cheng Che really prepared for this moment for a long time.

She nodded and said: "Ich werde, ache, ich liebe dich auch so sehr, Ich werde dich auch auf ewig lieben."

(I do, I love you too, and I will always love you.)

Cheng Che took out the ring and solemnly put it on the middle finger of her left hand. He bent down and kissed her hand. He stood up and hugged her in his arms, kissing her passionately and seriously.

Before closing her eyes, Wen Song saw the gorgeous cherry blossoms all over the sky and the moonlight hidden behind the pink crowns. These were the most beautiful cherry blossoms and the brightest moonlight she had ever seen in her life.
