After the marriage registration procedures were completed, Lin Yuan and Wu Tian returned to Sunflower Community with staff from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Many team members in the community were busy preparing Lin Yuan and Wu Tian's wedding for Wu Mengyao. Most of them had returned, and it was their day off. Qin Xia and Zeng Yilong were processing the catch that had been brought back.
Lin Yuan had also invited Zeng Yilong and the others to the wedding.
Actually, due to the lack of materials, there were no hydrangeas of bright red and purple. A path of 13.14 was laid out only near the pavilion in the community.
"What, Sister Wu Tian has put on makeup?!"
"Sister Wu Tian has put on makeup! I want to see, I want to see!"
Jiang Ziqi's voice was loud. As soon as the female team members in the thatched hut heard the news, they rushed out and surrounded Wu Tian, chattering about something.
Lin Yuan was squeezed to the side and couldn't hear clearly.
However, he wasn't angry. He watched as a group of fluttering figures, along with three bewildered staff members from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, rushed into the pavilion. It seemed they had already agreed on something.
Wang Xiaoxin didn't follow. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuan with a sigh, "Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect you, Old Lin, to get married before me. Thinking back, just 8 months ago we were discussing where to go for the summer holiday and planning our graduation trip with some other buddies. Now, only I am left to watch you get married?
Fate is unpredictable."
"Yes, fate is unpredictable. Sigh, let's not say depressing things today. We won't stop drinking until we drop!"
"We won't stop drinking until we drop" was a joke, but Lin Yuan had also bought a bottle of good wine. Everyone would have a small cup today, which did not violate the safety zone's prohibition on alcohol.
Time slowly flowed by with everyone's laughter.
As it approached six o'clock, fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky, drifting very, very slowly.
Lin Yuan, having touched up his makeup and with nothing else to do, sat and watched the snow. He felt a bit of joy seeing this scene. For children from the south, snow was a rare sight in their memories of youth and childhood.
He moved a small stool and sat in the open space, watching the snow, and then looking at Wu Tian in the pavilion, who had already put on her wedding attire. She was touching up her makeup and occasionally glared at Lin Yuan.
What are you looking at! Hmph (¨̮)!
The makeup for the marriage registration was meant to be simple and elegant, while the wedding attire required a dignified and grand look.
Even from this distance, Lin Yuan could see the shyness on Wu Tian's face.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't need any blush.
She looked so beautiful!
"Fortunately, I didn't dismiss the weather forecast saying it would snow this afternoon as mere hearsay and set up a shelter in advance," Wu Mengyao suddenly appeared beside Lin Yuan, interrupting his thoughts. She then grabbed a small stool and sat down, feigning a sigh but secretly gloating, "Sigh, Brother Lin Yuan, I'll watch the snow with you too. From now on, you'll be tormented by my sister. I already pity you in advance."
Why did this girl talk like an old person?
He glanced at her and saw Wu Mengyao with her legs crossed, looking as if she had seen through the world.
He immediately got angry and ruffled Wu Mengyao's hair.
"Stop worrying about me and focus on your studies. See how your sister will deal with you if you fail your exams when you get back."
"Don't worry, don't worry. We always rank in the top few at school, hahahaha!"
"..."
"Why don't we go into the pavilion? It's quite cold if too much snow falls on our hair _(:з」∠)_"
"That makes sense."
After entering the pavilion, Lin Yuan was pulled away to change his clothes. It was almost time, and the groom hadn't even changed. What kind of etiquette was this?
After some fuss, both of them finally finished changing.
"Should we cover with a red veil?"
The staff from the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked.
This stumped Wu Tian, but she quickly figured it out, "No need, let's just take photos like this. Thank you for your trouble."
They were already an old couple, so there was no need for novelty like lifting the veil.
"It's okay, it's okay. Seeing the happy couple makes us very happy," the young ladies from the Ministry of Civil Affairs waved their hands with smiles.
After all, the couple was very polite and spoke gently. They had heard from the children that Lin Yuan and the others had made great contributions. And they looked truly beautiful in their wedding attire, a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
Beautiful things can heal the mood; this saying was absolutely true.
"Then let's go take photos."
"It's snowing now, so let's take some photos in the snow," the young ladies from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, holding cameras and some plum branches, small screens, and other props, were already standing in the snow, ready.
"Face each other, hold hands, or the groom can strike some imposing poses. Yes, exactly, like a domineering general and a prime minister's daughter."
"You can also do some joyful poses. Yes, yes, just like this, it looks great!"
"Groom, stand in front of the screen and hold the bride! You are a big man... uh... it's okay, the bride holding the groom is also fine. Don't move, groom, look a little pitiful. Yes, perfect!"
"Yes, yes! Just like this, touching the plum branches, don't move, it'll be done soon."
"This is also good. Carry the bride on your back. Hey, groom, don't smile so arrogantly. Never mind, this also looks good..."
"..."
They said a few shots, but in fact, they took more than 30, and they were all good, finished in one take without any extra retouching.
"Everyone, let's take a group photo together! Hurry, hurry!"
The last set of photos was a group photo of Lin Yuan and everyone else.
First, everyone took a photo together.
Ying Tianlong and the members of the investigation team squatted in the first row. In front of them were the children of the team, holding lollipops in their mouths, standing on both sides of the first row. Jiang Ziqi and Wu Mengyao squeezed between Lin Yuan and Wu Tian, smiling happily.
Behind them were the team members striking various poses. Wang Zhihai and the other three special forces team members who had returned from work, oh no, Cao Xueqin was added, were no longer showing the seriousness of the special forces. Their expressions were as quirky and funny as possible.
Qin Xia and Sun Haiping also held Sun Qin, holding a囍 character cut from red paper. The other team members did not line up in order but squeezed behind Lin Yuan, looking like a big family.
"Say, cheese!"
"Cheese!"
"Click."
The scene was frozen in beauty.
