The Ending Is Also a New Beginning
"123456..."
"Well..."
"It seems like we can only contact a few people in total."
"Could it be that we can't even get enough people for one table?"
"..."
"Honey, we're having a wedding, not hiring a van full of people to go around hacking people to death."
"If I really want a lot of people to come and create a lively atmosphere, I can invite all my junior high, high school, and college classmates..."
A faint pain came from his leg, which made Xia Yan stop talking immediately. Instead, he pretended to be in great pain and fell into Hua Xin's arms.
If the genders were reversed, Xia Yan would probably be a cunning and opportunistic Green Tea.
Hua Xin's arms were filled with a sweet fragrance and felt soft to the touch.
Although many girls probably feel this way in their arms, Xia Yan felt that it would be more than enough for him to fall into Hua Xin's arms for the rest of his life.
If Hua Xin hadn't appeared, he might never have understood what happiness truly felt like.
"I'm not complaining about whether there are too many or too few people, I'm just stating the facts!"
"It doesn't feel like a wedding, but more like a gathering of friends."
Hua Xin rolled her eyes at Xia Yan, who was snuggling in her arms, and then complained helplessly.
While it's true that they only have a few close friends and acquaintances, the idea of having dozens or hundreds of people together to create a bustling, lively scene like those seen in the videos is far from realistic.
It seems that there is no other way to do this except to find a group of people to act as extras.
Given their current social network, finding more than ten people would be extremely difficult.
Of course, this refers to trusted friends whom both Hua Xin and Xia Yan know.
Xiang Guan Mu Feng, Li Xue, along with security guard Grandpa Liu, and Xia Fen...
At most, add Landmine and the Chun Qiu.
Including a cat and a dog, there were only eight live animals present.
It's true, we can't even gather enough people with two hands.
Fortunately, they are all true friends and very important people in Hua Xin and Xia Yan's lives.
Without these friends, things might be completely different in some ways.
Just like if Mu Feng hadn't made that self-destructive act against Lin Qingyu in front of everyone, if Grandpa Liu hadn't been so clear about important intelligence, if Sister Li Xue hadn't taken in Hua Xin and helped her take the step of working independently, if Xia Fen hadn't been the one connecting all the conflicted feelings...
These are undoubtedly important people to Hua Xin and Xia Yan.
Changes in the world line often lead to completely different outcomes, and it is very possible that even a slight change in one of them can cause a series of chain reactions.
"Um..."
"If that's the case, then we can also have a destination wedding."
"It's like traveling and taking wedding photos wherever you go..."
Xia Yan remained nestled in Hua Xin's arms. Although his view was obscured by the enormous object above him for some reason, his gaze remained gentle as he spoke softly.
After all, due to certain special circumstances, they no longer need to go out and work to earn money, and can spend plenty of time with each other. This has helped Xia Yan, who had been feeling particularly tormented recently, recover a lot.
Upon learning about the savings, Xia Yan decisively decided to quit her job and, along with Hua Xin, ended their not-so-short working life at the cat café where they had been for nearly three years.
To be honest, working at a cat cafe doesn't really count as being a job.
Hua Xin really liked this job, not only because Sister Li Xue and Brother Shan Qing took good care of her in every way, and because the monthly salary was quite substantial even in Shanghai, but also because her daily routine of taking care of the kittens and working as a customer service representative in the cat cafe was very easy.
It's at least a hundred times better than going to a factory to tighten screws, right?
It can be said that this place was specially tailored for Hua Xin.
Now, it's time for Hua Xin to leave the warm haven that Sister Li Xue provided for her and embark on her own path.
She is no longer the person she was a few years ago, who was afraid and terrified even when going out. Instead, she has grown up to be like Xia Yan, able to face this complex and bumpy society independently, and to make efforts for herself, for her loved ones, and for her family.
From the bizarre supernatural phenomenon that suddenly occurred to her, to her wondrous encounter with Xia Yan...
Can all of this really be summarized by a simple phrase like "fate" or "destiny"?
Hua Xin touched Xia Yan Chun Qiu lying in her arms, looking like something that was begging for cat food.
Who would have thought that the person she married would be such a shrewish and lewd man, and that she would spend the rest of her life with him?
"Honey... are you even listening to me?"
Xia Yan grasped Hua Xin's hand with some confusion, then slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard with her.
"..."
Coming to her senses, Hua Xin quickly concealed the involuntary thought she had about Xia Yan's cunning. She lay back on the bed, looking rather relaxed, and said in a very calm tone:
"Without."
"..."
Xia Yan suppressed the sudden urge to bully Hua Xin, after all, he had done quite a few of those things in the past two days, but Hua Xin still didn't seem to want to repent or admit defeat.
He then said somewhat helplessly.
"Then let's stick to the original plan for now?"
"Anyway, all of these people will definitely be there, but..."
A clear smile appeared in Xia Yan's eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly:
"If Xiang Guan and his group are the best men, and Xiao Fen and her group are the bridesmaids, wouldn't that mean that only Grandpa Liu would be in the audience?"
Hua Xin was also taken aback when she heard this, and then she laughed along with Xia Yan when she imagined that particularly abstract scene.
You know what, it actually seems to be true.
If everyone were to participate in this niche wedding, then it seems that only the security guard and a cat and a dog would remain as spectators.
Although it felt a bit too abstract, Hua Xin didn't mind or feel sad about it.
No matter how many people are there, how grand the occasion, or how many blessings are offered...
As long as Xia Yan is here, that's enough.
As long as they're together, that's enough.
Even without any other romantic scenes or lavish displays, Hua Xin would still say "I do" without hesitation.
Autumn and winter are not long seasons.
Many people are on their own paths.
The arrival of spring will bring an end to this bumpy journey.
At the same time, it should also be a new beginning.
