"Nervous?" Chen Jianguo asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry. I... I'm not in the mood right now. "

"I'm nervous too." Chen Jianguo leaned over and stretched out his hand towards Lin Peilan. His knuckles were clearly beautiful and his palm was stained with shiny water stains. "This is my first time taking a photo with a girl. I'm so nervous that I'm sweating."

Lin Peilan was stunned for a moment before she lowered her head and couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Zichen looked at the tall and sturdy man, who knew that he was actually as nervous as him.

"Think of me as your brother. Naturally, or else we might become the longest couple in the history of this photo studio."

Lin Peilan was still able to hear the first part of Chen Jianguo's sentence with a calm demeanor, but she was also shocked by the latter half.

When the owner of the studio came in, Lin Peilan was ready. Chen Jianguo sat next to her and the page was stiff like before.

"That's right! "It doesn't matter if the young couple are a bit shy, but they'll have to look at the marriage certificate for the rest of their lives. They have to be beautiful and beautiful …"

The owner of the studio spoke nonstop. He didn't delay the work in his hands at all. After he pointed them in the right direction, the photos were taken much faster. He pressed on the shutter button with a "Kacha Kacha" sound.

In 1984, on the ninth day of the sixth month, the wedding of Lin Peilan and Chen Jianguo officially began.

Since it was rare to see such a big family here, the aunt suggested taking two group photos, Lin Peilan and Chen Jianguo sitting in the middle with their families behind them.

"Aunt, you guys wait in the car for a while. I'll take Peilan for a walk and we'll be back soon."

After exiting the studio and passing by a small alley, Chen Jianguo stopped the car and told Lin Peilan to get off and let everyone wait in the car for a while.

"Go ahead!" "Little girl, you're shy. Jianguo, you have to take care of her."

Under the dubious gaze of everyone, Lin Peilan got off the car under pressure and followed Chen Jianguo into the alley.

Lin Peilan didn't know what Chen Jianguo was going to do, so she followed him. Soon, Chen Jianguo slowed down his pace and walked with her.

The alley only allowed the two to walk side by side. Chen Jianguo was tall and big, so he purposely slowed down his pace to keep up with Lin Peilan. Lin Peilan suddenly felt like the two of them occupied the entire alley.

After the incident just now, Lin Peilan felt uneasy as she was surrounded by an unfamiliar man who was about to become her husband.

He didn't dare to speak and felt too embarrassed to look at Chen Jianguo beside him. He could only look down at the uneven surface of the green brick road. It was obvious that he had aged for quite some time.

"Be careful!"

Lin Peilan, who was focused on walking forward, was pulled into the arms of another. A bicycle was flying by, followed by a sharp whistle.

When Lin Peilan reacted, all that was left was a gaudy figure riding a bicycle as she sped away in the alley. Chen Jianguo was protecting her in his arms.

"This was even a building built during the Republic of China period. The alleyway was designed to be small, so it's not very convenient to pass through. Incidents happen. "

Chen Jianguo let go of Lin Peilan politely and explained to her why he hugged her just now.

"Oh!" "Thank you." The tips of Lin Peilan's ears had turned red. She hid her hair behind her ears.

Chen Jianguo looked at the dark red earlobes. The action of lowering his head made his slim neck and little daughter stand out. His heart started to beat faster for some reason. This feeling came too suddenly and he was at a loss for what to do.

He quickly looked away, cleared his throat, and awkwardly broke the awkward atmosphere.

"We're right in front. This alley is small, and there might be people coming out. Let's go in front!"

"Alright!" Lin Peilan nodded and continued to walk forward.

There seemed to be something between the two of them that was unclear, but neither of them dared to say it out loud.

Along the way, they passed by the tailor shop, the carpenter's shop, and the tofu workshop, but Chen Jianguo didn't stop. In the middle of the alley, there was a sign that said "Gold Shop", and it was only then that Chen Jianguo pulled Lin Peilan, who was still going forward, from the tailor shop, to the shop.

"This is?"

"This is it. He hadn't returned for a few years, he didn't expect the golden shop to still be here. Let's go in and take a look. "

There was a dark counter and an old master wearing a magnifying glass was linking the necklace in his hands. Just from the shop's appearance, one could not tell that this was a gold shop.

"Are young people going to wear wedding jewelry? Gold rings, and even golden necklaces.

The old master put down what he was doing and greeted him with a smile.

"Peilan, choose a few styles."

There was an old booklet with all kinds of jewelry designs printed on it. It was so dazzling that Chen Jianguo pushed the booklet into Lin Peilan's hands and let her choose her own book.

"There's no need for that! I don't wear this. " Lin Peilan hurriedly refused.

Those two dresses and a pair of leather shoes were already the limit of what she could accept about this stranger who was about to become her husband. She definitely wouldn't take these pieces of gold and silver jewelry.

"Then choose a pair of rings! You and I will each get one. "

After two days of rough contact, he had a rough understanding of Lin Peilan's personality, Chen Jianguo. A shy and quiet girl probably didn't accept him because of that.

He didn't force Chen Jianguo, he just flipped through it and pointed to one of the pictures in the ring.

Chen Jianguo glanced at Lin Peilan's swaying hands. They were slender and fair, with the flexibility unique to girls.

"This model will be worn by men and women in different sizes. Her is number four, my number six, and I'll get it later. "

"Alright!" If the deposit is not enough, you can make up for it later. The old master readily agreed.

"Stop buying, it's so expensive, don't waste it …"

Lin Peilan looked at the two fifty-dollar bills Chen Jianguo gave her and suddenly opened her eyes wide. This guy was too stingy. He didn't feel bad spending money to buy such impractical things.

He had completely forgotten to ask what that number six meant.

"Men and women who are married abroad must wear wedding rings and never take them off for the rest of their lives. We won't buy anything else, just a pair of rings. "

Chen Jianguo spoke in a serious manner. His jet-black face had a faint smile and sincerity on it, along with that domineering attitude that Lin Peilan could not refuse.

My whole life!

What a beautiful word. Lin Peilan looked at Chen Jianguo's smiling face and didn't know how to refuse.

They entered the alley empty-handed and went out again. No one asked anything, only the aunt looked at Lin Peilan's neck and hands with sparkling eyes. Other people didn't know there was a gold shop there, but she did. Chen Jianguo clearly took Lin Peilan to play jewelry just now.

However, since Chen Jianguo didn't mention it, the aunt naturally didn't say anything. As long as she knew that Chen Jianguo really liked Lin Peilan, this marriage was guaranteed.

Everyone was driven back to town by Chen Jianguo. The aunt got off the car ahead of time, beaming with joy. She repeatedly emphasized that Lin Peilan and the others would go to get their certificates on Monday and she would come over to help.
