A beautiful summer night

The early summer sky was clear and cloudless, and the wind blowing at the wedding venue was unrestrained and exuberant.

The emcee guided the bride and groom to pass on happiness according to the procedure. Three meters away, a group of single, ambitious young people stood, led by Yu Fei, whose face was full of eagerness.

Huo Yang, hiding on the far side, twitched his lips slightly: "..."

The bonus that's about to be mine is probably going to fly away.

"I thought you were only most enthusiastic when it came to bonuses." Zhu Zi gave Yu Fei a suggestive glare, then raised her elbow to shove him aside, making room for Yun Li in the middle.

Just as Yu Fei was about to retort, he glanced at Jiang Baichuan behind Yun Li, steadied himself, and coughed lightly twice: "Don't you know how to liven up the atmosphere!"

Huo Yang let out a long "Oh," and said, "I see. Seeing how eager you are, I thought you wanted to settle down and start a family soon."

Yu Fei: "..."

I definitely want to, but I don't have the guts to compete with this guy from the Jiang family.

"Is the bride ready?" The emcee continued the proceedings.

Xia Wanzhi was holding a bouquet of gardenias and orchids, the first bouquet Xie Qiyan had made after completing his apprenticeship under Professor Yunli.

The first bouquet of flowers I made by hand, given to my bride.

The breeze carried a faint scent of gardenias. Xia Wanzhi smiled gently, her crescent-shaped eyes looking directly at Yunli, whose eyes were red-rimmed yet filled with a smile, in the crowd.

Seemingly understanding what Xia Wanzhi was thinking, Xie Qiyan gestured to the emcee to hand over the microphone.

Xia Wanzhi snapped out of her daze and glanced at Xie Qiyan.

Xie Qiyan raised an eyebrow and smiled, gently stroking her waist with his fingertips: "In the process of passing on happiness, the person who receives happiness is also the protagonist."

Before the wedding, he borrowed Yunli to teach him how to wrap a bouquet, while Jiang Baichuan borrowed Xia Wanzhi to conspire together on a big event.

Although he didn't tell anyone, Xie Qiyan guessed it.

The microphone was brought to her lips, and Xia Wanzhi's smile widened as she took a deep breath: "I... am ready."

Looking at the most nervous CEO surnamed Jiang in the crowd, Xia Wanzhi slowly said, "I'm going to pass on this happiness to one of the most important friends in my life, because... on this important day, I hope she also finds happiness."

The applause was enthusiastic and continuous. Zhu Zi, who understood Xia Wanzhi's meaning, excitedly pulled Yun Li in front of her: "Did you see that? Did you see that?! Gardenia and Lychee are the true love!"

Yunli hadn't expected this moment, so she tilted her head back, trying to hold back her tears of emotion and prevent them from ruining her makeup.

Just when everyone thought Xia Wanzhi was going to hand the bouquet to Yun Li herself, she smiled slyly, turned her back, and then turned her head back to remind her, "President Jiang can get it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yunli was stunned for two seconds.

In just two seconds, the pure white bouquet, symbolizing love and happiness, left Xia Wanzhi's fingertips and formed an arc in mid-air.

As it fell, a black figure rushed out and caught the bouquet of flowers steadily.

Xia Wanzhi raised an eyebrow and smiled, a hint of smugness in her expression.

This is different from what was originally agreed upon.

Jiang Baichuan smiled and nudged his cheek, understanding what she meant.

She was like family to Yunli, and she had promised to give him a chance to accomplish something very important.

But rather than receiving it as a gift, she hopes that this happiness will be something he actively accepts himself.

Xia Wanzhi knew he could catch it, and he definitely would.

The cheers and applause around them were endless. Somehow, the microphone ended up in Jiang Yourong's hands, and she shouted, "Let's congratulate this tall, mighty, handsome, rich, and model young man on becoming the MVP of this round! Mr. Jiang, at this incredibly important moment, do you have something very important to do?"

These words were highly suggestive. Jiang Baichuan casually glanced at his younger sister, implying that she should tone it down.

Yunli is shy.

He was afraid she would run away.

Between his heartbeat and breath, Jiang Baichuan turned around, his fingers, which were holding the bouquet of flowers and were not seen by anyone, seemed to be trembling slightly.

Until Yunli took the initiative to reach out her hand to him: "What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to give it to me?"

Everyone could see his nervousness, and the encouraging applause continued. Jiang Baichuan looked at the girl in front of him, and under the expectant gazes of everyone, he adjusted his breathing and slowly knelt down on one knee.

"Awoo! Say yes—" Yu Fei, who was in charge of creating a lively atmosphere, jumped up and cheered.

Huo Yang pressed down on his shoulder to prevent him from going off the rails again: "You called too early..."

"Hahahaha—" Laughter erupted throughout the audience, young and old.

Yunli almost reflexively took the bouquet that Jiang Baichuan handed her. When she came to her senses, she lowered her eyelashes and met Jiang Baichuan's incredibly passionate gaze. Coupled with the atmosphere around her, the heat on her face spread all the way to her earlobes.

Jiang Baichuan watched with a smile; at that moment, the girl's blush was greater than his heart fluttering.

"What...what are you doing?" Her fingers were awkwardly clutching the bouquet. She leaned forward slightly, trying to grab Jiang Baichuan's arm to help him up, but as soon as their skin touched, Jiang Baichuan grabbed her hand instead.

Holding her fingers with such tenderness and care, amidst cheers, he reverently bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand.

This scene was so exhilarating that Xia Wanzhi couldn't help but tear up as she watched.

Xie Qiyan raised his hand to pat her head, gently pressed her against his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Still crying? I should feel sorry for you."

As he spoke, he guided Xia Wanzhi's hand to press against his heart.

Xia Wanzhi then smiled, a smile tinged with sobs: "Yunli has had such a hard time these past few years."

Yunli once said that if she hadn't met Jiang Baichuan, her life might have ended like this.

Heaven took pity on her and arranged for her to meet Jiang Baichuan.

He taught her what love is, taught her how to love, and taught her how to feel love.

"The future is long, they have a lifetime to enjoy love." After kissing Xia Wanzhi's forehead, Xie Qiyan embraced her, his voice tender, "They will be very happy, and so will we."

In this vast world, it's truly not easy to meet someone you like amidst the sea of ​​people.

The probability that the person in question also likes you is even smaller.

Being in love is already a very happy and beautiful thing.

Not to mention marrying the person you love, having children, forming a small family, growing old together, and spending your life together.

Even though Yunli was still a bit dazed, she finally realized what Jiang Baichuan's actions meant.

Yu Fei was cheering loudly from the side, getting Zhu Zi to clap and shout along, and there was also Jiang Yourong holding a microphone on the field...

These people were all fiery and energetic, and when they joined forces, they were quite a handful. Yun Li was so nervous that her body temperature soared. Remembering that there were elders present, she said to Jiang Baichuan without thinking, "I'm willing! I'm willing... Get up quickly."

Jiang Baichuan, who was reaching into his pocket for a ring with his right hand, looked up in surprise. His previously tense heart was now secretly pleased, and his expression slowly turned into a smug teasing: "Don't rush, baby. I know you're willing, but I haven't started yet."

Yunli: "..."

Xia Wanzhi was laughing uncontrollably on stage, and shouted loudly, "President Jiang, are you even capable?!"

Jiang Yourong clicked her tongue and shouted into the microphone, "Hurry up, my good brother! You're so slow and indecisive, I'm more eager to have a sister-in-law than a wife!"

"Hahahahaha-"

Yun Li glared at Jiang Baichuan secretly, feeling embarrassed.

Unable to contain his smug smile, Jiang Baichuan finally pulled out the blue diamond ring he had been preparing for so long and was finally going to show it off to his girlfriend.

"Ms. Yunli, I'm a little nervous." His eyes seemed to be filled with tears as he raised his hand, the diamond ring dangling slightly on his fingertip.

His hands were trembling.

He had prepared so many things to say, but now his mind was blank. Jiang Baichuan looked at her, his voice trembling, "Will you... marry me?"

He wanted to promise her that he would love her and cherish her for the rest of his life...

But a lifetime is too long, and vows are too empty. He wanted to stay by her side and spend a lifetime verifying the answer to the question of a lifetime.

"Marry him! Marry him!"

With Jiang Yourong holding the microphone on stage as the main force, almost everyone in the audience was cheering for them.

Yunli sniffed, bursting into tears of joy, and muttered under her breath, "Idiot."

She had already begun to look forward to it when Jiang Baichuan mentioned wanting to marry her, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

There was anticipation, but also hesitation, helplessness, and tension.

But at this moment, she only had one sentence: "I do."

"Jiang Baichuan, I do." Afraid he might not hear her clearly, she firmly agreed again.

As the ring was slipped onto her finger and she was lifted up and spun around, tears streamed down Yunli's face along with her smile.

The wind was blowing gently, bringing her happiness.

Xia Wanzhi sobbed uncontrollably. Xie Qiyan wiped her tears away, but they flowed again. Helpless, Xie Qiyan could only threaten, "Still crying?"

Xia Wanzhi was completely familiar with his routine. With two lines of tears still on her face, she stood on tiptoe, cupped Xie Qiyan's face, and kissed him deeply, taking the initiative.

"Xie Qiyan, I love you."

My Ayan.

I love you.

Seeing this, Jiang Yourong became even more excited and somehow joined Yu Fei's group, shouting and celebrating together: "The ceremony is complete! Let's congratulate these two couples and the soon-to-be-married couples!"

Yu Fei continued, "The romance of summer never ends, and the newlyweds' happiness lasts forever. May all lovers in the world be united in marriage! Now, please let our bride and groom raise their glasses to toast our guests—"

The emcee, forgotten in the corner, felt a career crisis for the first time: "..."

Petals fall like snow, the symphony orchestra plays a love melody, and wherever the wind blows, their love spreads infinitely.

Summer romance never ends.

May the newlyweds' happiness last forever.
