FLASH MARRIAGE-6.2



Chapter 6 (2)




For a lot of people wedding preparation is a very complicated matter, so for them there will be a lot of disarray in the first place, of course, it was not the case for me. Except the urgent pressing of time, I really did not have anything else to adapt and all the necessary things were handled and neatly organized.

So Jiang Li praised: "you seem quite professional."

I arrogantly said: "Even though I'm a spinster, but in the name of law, you can be regarded as my second husband."

Ahem, I did not lie. I used to have, although in the past, a marriage, no it should be called as almost marriage…..... In short all the things, from six months prior to the marriage to a night before the marriage I had already experienced, other than the final crucial step. This kind of thing could be compared to dog blood*, but if that’s so, then what about the life, from which the saying ‘dog blood’, derived from, thinking……

*in the original text the word ‘gou xue’ was used, which is an idiom meaning to pour dogs blood onto curse or berate some body…I am a through and through Dog lover…so simply hate this idiom.



Now Jiang Li had a faint mysterious smile almost inscrutable. In this scenario, he still had feeling of admiration, it was truly impeccable.

Jiang Li from behind hugged my waist, looked down and seemed to be looking fondly at me. I turned around, and saw a partially crucifying smile on his face. He bowed his head pretending to kiss me, and then lowered his mouth to say:  “you also have such a painful past, huh?” Tone of the last word "Huh" sounded louder than the others, in my heart I was mad enough to blow up fire, this guy was indeed gloating over other people’s disaster!

But I quickly caught another message in his words, when he said “also” that means he also had a painful past? So I just calmly returned his faint smile, whispered: "we are the same." Did not know which handsome man had been humiliated in the past and here I just thought I had found my good mood back. Ack, I was so narrow minded……

Not from far the photographer shouted: 'Not bad, not bad, this is the position, smile more, so good, the bride get a little closer ... .. "

Look, we were always doing the most intimate action while saying the most sharp words. That’s the real irony.

At this moment we were taking wedding pictures, the photographer said the standard praises like our pose was very good, we had beautiful smiles, we looked very happy. I suddenly felt that this photographer was really a hypocrite, our smiles could only be called as ‘teeth grinding’……..

This was not the first time I wore a wedding dressing, although this dress, was not only  a lot more beautiful than the last one but also specially custom-made. In that case, how could a person move wearing such a dress let alone smile beautifully. It’s just that in my heart there was always a pang of inexplicable loss, I thought it was probably due to the fact that marriage procedures were all the same thus reminded me about my past; it made me feel a little guilty.

Taking a few wedding pictures in simple poses like that, this was one of the several actions that I found very familiar, they made me feel like I was in a trance, returning back to four years ago, Xiao Guan Yan of that era. At that time I was immersed in the feeling of happiness, but that happiness had not come completely before it was snatched away from me.

I stood in the lawn with Jiang Li at a small distance. I carried a bouquet of flowers, ran toward Jiang Li, wind blew passed my ears, exceptionally brilliant sunlight fell on the head. I felt a bit amazed, but still accelerated the pace. That slender figure stood motionless on the grass, faced towards me. I suddenly threw the bouquets and ran towards him.

Jiang Li opened his arms, hugged me, and then standing still at one place rotated a few rounds.
My legs left the ground; it felt like a tornado swirling into the depth of a sea, spinning up people along with it.

Jiang Li's face slowly disappeared, then turned into a different face. Peaceful face, eyes full of love, he smiled at me and seriously said Yan Yan, I love you.

My eyes instantly spilled something hot.

This scene, was so familiar.

Very familiar.

My feet touched the ground again, tears on my face had been wiped away, and cold fingertips let my consciousness return back. I blinked a few times the person in front turned back into Jiang Li.

He hugged me, softly sighed in my ear: "looks like people who live in the past, always become silly easily."


I closed my eyes, tears flowing out: "No one willingly wants to live in the past."

During the entire process Photographer not only recorded a full video, but also took a lot of still pictures. He was full of excitement as he came towards us and told that pictures and videos of our shoot, was the most successful from all the couples he had so far worked with. Turned out result of crying was more effective than laughing. My heart exclaimed, we were the most successful couple ever.

My mother was jumping like a rabbit [forgive my imagination, but she was indeed extremely excited] came to our side, grabbed my wedding dress, eyes welled with tears said: "ah child, you have inherited all my traits!"

I knew her greatest strength, her tears, was easier to control than tap water, I was thinking about saying a few words to her but my heart ruefully did not know what was the right thing to say.

Jiang Li’s parents also putting on an expression of "mixed emotions of the young people getting married is understandable” looked at us. The moment I faced the beautiful literature teacher, even a frozen smile could not be squeezed out.

There are certain things for onlookers, if you feel happiness, they are happy, if you feel grieved, they also get sad like crying with you.


Only two people knew that my tears, that fell, were not for Jiang Li.
