The wind on the beach had died down a lot.
Li Xiwu raised her hand and adjusted the brim of her hat, trying not to block her vision. Behind her, she heard the laughter of Yaoyao and Youyou chasing after each other. She looked back and reminded gently, âRun slower, the two of you. Be careful not to fall.â
Youyou replied as she ran, âl wonât, I wonât⦠Ouch~
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell. Youyou faced the beach and threw her hands in front of her, her face covered in sand. Yaoyao was shocked. When he reacted, he immediately helped Youyou up. Pei Jingzhou stood up. Seeing that Li Xiwu was about to go over, he said to her, âSit down. Iâll go take a look.â Then he went over first.
They all thought that Youyou would cry. Unexpectedly, not only did the little girl not cry, but she also smiled foolishly. But her smile was full of sand, looking ugly and cute.
âIâm fine. l . . . pfft, pfft, pfftâ¦â As soon as Youyou spoke, she realized that her mouth was full of sand, so she spat out sand as she spoke. Even so, she was still smiling. This made others caught between laughter and tears.
Yaoyao nervously checked if there were any abrasions on Youyouâs arms and knees. After confirming repeatedly that there were no abrasions, the nervousness on his face improved a little. Pei Jingzhou also checked carefully.
In the end, he tidied Youyouâs clothes and wiped her face clean before returning to Li Xiwu.
Li Xiwu handed the coconut that had just been inserted with a straw to Pei
Jingzhou. âWas she hurt?â
âNo, she just ate some sand.â Pei Jingzhou stuck his head over and took a sip of coconut juice.
Li Xiwu chuckled and reached out again. âHere, this is for you.â When she reached out, she tried her best to turn her body to hide the bag behind her from Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Jingzhou did not see the bag behind her for the time being. He only glanced at the coconut in her hand, which was also the one he had taken a sip of just now. He did not hesitate for long and reached out to take it. He asked with a smile, âYou canât drink anymore?â
âWhat do you mean by I canât drink it? This is what I just opened for you.â Li Xiwu snorted.
Although there was a small hole in the coconut, it was intact without a straw. She only inserted the straw when she saw Pei Jingzhou coming over. In the end, this person thought that she could not finish it.
Pei Jingzhou said, âJust open it and drink it yourself. Thereâs no need to open it for me, I thought you couldnât drink it.â
âYou need an explanation for that?â she asked with a smile.
Pei Jingzhou said, âIâm afraid youâll be angry.â
She stopped talking. She knew that the man beside her cared about her emotions the most at all times. When Pei Jingzhou retracted his gaze, he saw something behind her from the corner of his eye. He reached over.
Seeing Pei Jingzhou reach over to take what was behind her, Li Xiwu pretended to be curious and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Pei Jingzhou was stunned. âThe one behind you⦠should be a bag, right? Pick it up and put it on the table. Otherwise, it wonât be comfortable.â
She thought nothing of it. âIt doesnât matter.â
Pei Jingzhou looked behind her again. She quickly moved her body and leaned towards the small table. She held her chin in her palm and changed the topic. âFourth Brother, I look so good today. Arenât you going to take a beautiful photo of me?â
Pei Jingzhou was slightly stunned. He looked at her meaningfully. âTake a photo?â
Li Xiwu smiled. âUh-huh.â
Pei Jingzhou wanted to ask, âDid youâ
âCome on, Iâm already posing,â she urged. Li Xiwu interrupted Pei Jingzhou. She had already posed beautifully and was urging him to take a photo of her quickly.
Pei Jingzhou retracted his question. There were two cameras on the table. He did not take one at random. Instead, he asked her, âWhich camera do you want to use?â
âUseâ¦â Li Xiwu reached out and tapped the camera on the small table. âUse this Polaroid I bought last night. Pay attention to the angle and backlight. Donât black me out.â
Pei Jingzhou put the coconut back, then picked up the camera Li Xiwu had mentioned and stood opposite her. He asked her, âLong shot or close shot?â Li Xiwu maintained her pose. âTake a long shot. Take a photo of the dress, too.â
Pei Jingzhou nodded. Not far away, Yaoyao and Youyou saw that they were taking photos and quickly ran towards Li Xiwu.
âMom, Mom, I want to stand here.â After Youyou ran over, she stood by Li Xiwuâs left hand.
Yaoyao did not go over. He turned to look at his father, who was preparing to take a photo not far away. Pei Jingzhou received his sonâs gaze and did not say anything. He only gave him a look. Yaoyao understood that look and turned to walk the other way.
Li Xiwu waved her hand and said, âYaoyao, you and Youyou each take one side.â
Yaoyao shook his head and said, âMom, I donât want to take photos.â
âOh, okay, then.â Li Xiwu did not chase after the little guy and ask him why he was unwilling to take photos. She focused on the camera and said to Pei Jingzhou, âItâs done. Fourth Brother, film it.â
Pei Jingzhou agreed and began to adjust the angle of the photo.
Yaoyao took advantage of the time when Mom and Youyou were taking photos to open the bag. There was the veil that Dad had prepared for Mom. But after he opened the bag, he didnât see the veil that Dad had prepared for Mom.
Weird. How could there not be? Didnât Dad say that he would put the veil in this bag?
Just as Yaoyao was wondering, he heard his mother call himâ âYaoyao.â
Yaoyao looked up in the direction of the voice. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, âYaoyao, do you need Mommyâs help?â
Yaoyao remembered that his father had said not to tell his mother in advance. This was a surprise for her, so he shook his head. âYou donât have to help. Iâll find it.â
Li Xiwu asked again, âWhat are you looking for?â
Yaoyao paused, not knowing how to answer. He looked at his father for help.
âLet me take a look.â At this moment, Pei Jingzhou was walking towards Yaoyao. Yaoyao looked like he had seen his savior and gestured at the situation.
As Pei Jingzhou approached, Yaoyao said in a low voice, âDad, the veil is gone.â
âHow can it be gone? I brought it out when 1 went out.â Pei Jingzhou put down the camera, opened his bag, and continued to search.
Yaoyao thought that he had neglected it. When his father came over, he would definitely be able to find the veil. He waited happily, but what came was Dadâs self-doubtâ
âl clearly brought it.â Pei Jingzhou muttered to himself, âWhy was it gone?â
The joy on Yaoyaoâs face suddenly disappeared. âDad?â
Pei Jingzhou said unhappily, âDonât call me.â
Yaoyao said, âHow could you forget to bring such an important thing?â
Pei Jingzhou looked up. âBe quiet.â
Yaoyao was furious, his cheeks puffed up with anger. âUseless.â
Pei Jingzhou:
âFourth Brother.â
Li Xiwuâs voice came from behind.
Pei Jingzhou gave up on the veil for the time being. He picked up the camera and stood up. âIâll go overâ¦â When he turned around and saw Li Xiwu, who was wearing a white veil not far away, he was stunned.
Yaoyao also saw Li Xiwu, who was wearing a veil. His eyes were filled with joy. âSo the veil is already on Mommyâs head.â
Li Xiwu walked over step by step and stood in front of Pei Jingzhou. She looked around under Pei Jingzhouâs dazed gaze and asked, âHow is it? Is it alright?â
Pei Jingzhou came back to his senses. âYouâ¦â
Li Xiwu asked, âIsnât it strange that I still found out about this after you hid it so well?â
Pei Jingzhou laughed. âActually, I knew it last night.â
Li Xiwu said, âWhen I bought the white dress?â
Pei Jingzhou nodded. âMm.â
He knew it, but he wasnât sure.
Li Xiwu took another half a step forward and closed the distance between her and Pei Jingzhou. She looked up at him and said, âl happened to see you when you were choosing a veil. I heard everything you said.â
Pei Jingzhouâs eyes flickered.
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. She reached out to hug him for a short while. âBecause of what I said, we no longer have a wedding, so our regrets canât be filled. I know you wonât want to see me compromise because Iâm touched, so Iâll take the initiative. Iâll try to fill in the regrets of not having a wedding today.â
She slowly let go of Pei Jingzhou. âWe will host the wedding that belongs to the two of us.â
They looked at each other for a long moment. Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. He grabbed her chin and lowered his head to kiss her.
Youyou widened her round eyes and watched her parents kiss. Yaoyao walked over and covered Youyouâs eyes.
The kiss in the wind was so long.
He once said, âLi You, I want to hold your hand and toast the guests.â
She once said, âl want to hold your hand too, from the beginning to the
They were childhood sweethearts.
The first time they met, an inexplicable joy sprang. Even after so many years, palpitations still arose.
From then on, years passed.
Even as time passed, all the love was still traceable..
