After lunch, he drove me to a mountain. We climbed to the top and overlooked the entire city. The scenery was beautiful, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers. "It's so beautiful..." I exclaimed. "Yes," he nodded. "I love this place," I said. "Then we'll come here often in the future," he replied. "Okay," I nodded. We stood there, quietly appreciating the beautiful view.
"I just remembered a saying," I suddenly said. "What saying?" he asked. "'Time is peaceful, and the world is stable.' I think it perfectly describes our current state of mind," I said. "Hmm," he nodded. We stood quietly, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment. "I love you," I whispered. "I love you too," he whispered back. We exchanged smiles and embraced tightly.
In the evening, we went to Aunt's house together. Aunt was very happy to see us and insisted on having us stay for dinner. So, we stayed. During dinner, Aunt took out a red envelope and handed it to me. I quickly declined. "This is from Aunt; you must take it," Chen Wu said. So, I had no choice but to accept it. Aunt then took out another red envelope and handed it to Chen Wu. "Aunt, I don't want it..." Chen Wu quickly said. "This is for your wife," Aunt smiled. "I've already given her one," Chen Wu replied.
"This is a little token from Aunt, you must take it," Aunt said.
So, Chen Wu had no choice but to accept it.
After we finished our meal, we left Aunt's house.
Back home, I took out the red envelope Aunt gave me and handed it to Chen Wu.
"You keep it," he said.
"But..." I wanted to say something more.
"You keep it," he insisted, "buy whatever you want."
"But..." I wanted to say something more again.
"Enough with the 'buts,'" he laughed, "my money is your money, right?"
"Alright then," I nodded and put the red envelope away.
Holding the envelope made me feel warm inside.
I knew he truly cared for me.
I sincerely hoped that we could be together forever.
After school started, I became very busy.
Every day, besides attending classes, I had to prepare lessons, grade assignments, and tutor students...
I felt overwhelmed with work.
The excitement I had for planning the wedding was worn down by my busy schedule.
Now, my expectations for the wedding were low; I just hoped it would go smoothly.
Chen Wu was also busy with work and had been traveling frequently for business lately.
On weekends, Chen Wu and I invited our colleagues from school to dinner.
"You two are newlyweds, so we won't make you drink too much," Teacher Wang joked at the dinner table.
"It's fine; if you want to drink, go ahead," Chen Wu smiled.
"Congratulations on your marriage," Teacher Li said with a smile.
"Thank you," Chen Wu replied with a grin.
"Wishing you both a speedy arrival of children," Teacher Zhao added cheerfully.
"Thank you," Chen Wu said again with a smile.
Everyone offered their blessings, and Chen Wu graciously accepted them all.
"Speaking of which, you two really are a perfect match," Teacher Wang remarked.
"Indeed," Teacher Li nodded in agreement, "Chen Wu, you're really lucky to marry such a beautiful and virtuous wife like Teacher Lin."
"I'm the lucky one," Chen Wu laughed.
"Come on, let's raise a glass to the bride and groom again," Teacher Zhao said with a smile.
"Thank you, everyone," Chen Wu replied with a grin.
We raised our glasses and clinked them with everyone.
"By the way, when do you plan to hold the wedding?" Teacher Wang asked.
"We're planning to do it during the National Day holiday," I said.
"Oh," Teacher Wang nodded.
"How is the wedding preparation going?" Teacher Li inquired.
"We're still in the planning stages," I replied.
"Well, you need to hurry up," Teacher Li said.
"Mm-hmm," I nodded.
We chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was lively.
After finishing our meal, we bid farewell to our colleagues and returned home.
The next day, I went to work as usual.
On Friday afternoon, I took a leave of absence to visit the wedding planning company and confirm the details of the wedding.
To my surprise, just as I stepped out of the company door, I found that it had started pouring rain outside.
The rain was pouring down furiously, as if a faucet in the sky had broken, with water cascading down in torrents.
The strong wind howled, causing umbrellas to tilt in all directions.
The streets were already flooded, with vehicles splashing through the water and sending up sprays of droplets.
I stood at the entrance of the company, watching the storm outside, feeling troubled.
I took out my phone and opened a ride-hailing app, hoping to call a taxi home.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one accepted my request.
It seemed impossible to get a taxi home today.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to return to the wedding planning company to retrieve my bag and then find a nearby hotel to stay for the night.
Just as I turned around, I suddenly saw a black sedan stop right in front of me.
