As for the ones who had sparked all this, Wang Yue and Yin Guo had avoided the press and quietly held their wedding with their families' blessings.
After the wedding, the two followed tradition and went on their honeymoon. Honeymoons usually involved traveling, but theirs was a secret trip.
They were public figures, and they managed to keep their trip secret because Wang Yue had worried that being mobbed would ruin it. Before they left, he taught Yin Guo the Disguise Technique.
It was even more effective than makeup. During their trip, no one recognized them.
But it did come with one drawback: taking pictures was a hassle. Looking at the faces in the photos, no one would have known they were the ones in them.
At the start of their honeymoon, the two had wandered along the Great Wall. Wang Yue had carried Yin Guo up a long stretch, and she'd been thrilled.
When they reached the highest point, they looked at the crumbling wall. Yin Guo couldn't resist taking a selfie, then posted it to her social media. She happily wrote, "My first time climbing this far! It's a little dilapidated, but you can really feel the weight of history."
When Meng Xiaotian saw the photo while killing time, he couldn't help commenting, "Sis, your honeymoon's been a whole lot of nothing. You're either taking pictures of scenery or strangers. Where are the pictures of you and your brother-in-law?"
Their family members in the group chat chimed in too, telling them to take more pictures together. That was what would make the trip meaningful. Otherwise, who'd know they'd even been there?
Photos of those sights were all over the internet. No one could tell if they were real or not. Pictures of the two of them mattered most!
