234. Tonight we have nothing to do with soul sincerity
Supporting each other's life and giving in invisible places are the essence of love relationships.
The priest entered wearing a black robe.
In the solemn and quiet Water Church, although there were only seven or eight people sitting sparsely below, it was not deserted. Instead, they were all looking at the priest on the stage.
Today is the real wedding ceremony.
The huge pure white cross in the center of the pool outside the church stands shining brightly. The interaction of light and shadow creates a Tyndall effect when the light penetrates into the church.
The newcomers haven't entered the venue yet.
The gray-haired pastor held a Bible and read it on the stage. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the side door of the venue, quietly waiting for the groom to enter.
Beautiful orchestral music was already playing in the church.
Since the wedding had not officially started yet, everyone sitting under the stage was chatting in low voices. The two bridesmaids, each wearing a bridesmaid wedding dress, were sitting nearby.
The short-haired woman with her head raised is called Shinohara Kinko, and the other is Yoshida Satomi. They both looked at Kogi Haruaki who was entering the room and talked.
"Speaking of it, it's really fate. Back then, Seimei often came to see Chinatsu and her face turned red after saying a few words. I didn't expect that I would become such a responsible man now."
Shinohara Kinko looked at the stage, although she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do, but she still stubbornly stared at the door that had not yet been opened, and she couldn't help but say with emotion.
"Rishen, you think this is a good relationship, it was Qianxia who took care of him before, but now he takes care of Qianxia."
The other woman was also very emotional, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes, as if she was thinking of a long time ago.
Love that transcends age and time.
Even in this way, she still succeeded in cultivation, which really surprised her. It was only because of her body that she had only a short time to make the feelings buried in her heart emerge. For the two of them, they didn't know whether this was good or bad.
"Then we need to separate people, okay? The guy in my family also started dating in junior high school. Now it's not like he doesn't go home all day long. Most men are not good things."
Shinohara Kinko didn't seem to be living a happy life. She often scolded her husband along the way. She said that Kogi Haruaki was okay, but she took other people with her and fired the map cannon.
She originally wanted to curse a few more times, but when she saw Yoshida winking deeply, she also realized that there were two men sitting next to her, especially Minamoto Yorimitsu.
A little embarrassed, Shinohara Kinko laughed twice, turned her head to look at Minamoto Yorimitsu, and lowered her voice slightly: "We are not talking about you."
"It doesn't matter. I agree with you. In fact, there are very few people nowadays, whether men or women, who are as honest as them."
Minamoto norimitsu smiled and said he didn't care.
Shinohara Kinko and Yoshida Satomi looked at each other and saw the recognition in each other's eyes. Sure enough, good men's friends are basically good men.
"You and the kid are both exceptions."
"Yuanjun is also a man you can rely on."
The two women laughed and praised him because they had a good impression of him in the past few days. They arranged weddings and accommodation, and he was easy-going and easy to talk to.
But their evaluation was wrong.
If they knew that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was riding on several boats, they didn't know what their expressions would be.
After a while, the bride still hasn't entered.
From the corner of Minamoto norimitsu's eyes, he caught sight of the absent-minded Masahide Kadani beside him. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What's wrong? Lord Kadani, are you worried?"
"It's okay." He Guzhengying was brought back to consciousness by his voice, and he replied with a somewhat reluctant expression.
His eyes looked covert.
It seems that some people are hesitant to speak.
Minamoto Yorimitsu glanced at him suspiciously.
After a few seconds, after seeing that the other party really had nothing to say to him, he thought for a while and then reminded him softly: "We don't need to talk when we get on stage."
"Ah? I know." He nodded hastily.
The specific wedding process rehearsal was of course not only led by Ogi Haruaki and Ikeda Chinatsu, but they also had staff to guide them as the best man and bridesmaid.
Minamoto Yorimitsu looked back at the bride's door.
Since the other party has no parents, the person supporting them is also a staff member, which is not embarrassing. Anyway, everything should be kept simple. What they want is a formal wedding.
"Is that strange woman the day before yesterday also your friend, Laiguang?" Hehe Zhengying suddenly asked.
Minamoto Yorimitsu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"What's wrong?" He turned his head, looked at Gu Zhengying, considered it for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, you should be grateful. She was a big help in your matter."
"It turned out that she helped me with my matter? Then I really have to thank you very much for causing trouble to you."
He Gu Zhengying was shocked. He didn't seem to expect that he was being helped. He opened his mouth and looked a little shocked. He twisted and apologized in a low voice.
Since he came back from the police station the day before yesterday, he has become much more honest, and he basically doesn't even go out of the hotel door.
He was indeed frightened. He often walked on the shore and his shoes didn't get wet. He almost fell in this time. The cold handcuffs left an indelible impression on him until now. After all, he was still just a student.
.
His nature is not bad, but he is a bit perverted, but after this incident, he was so frightened that he could not straighten his waist.
Even Yorimitsu Minamoto noticed that Masahide Taniwa was starting to become less frivolous. It seemed that this fall was not bad. After all, he was still young. If there were more serious mistakes in the future, it might be more serious than this.
"Actually, I seemed to have seen someone when I was outside just now, but I couldn't see clearly and I'm not sure."
Just when he was still a little relieved, He Gu Zhengying's hesitant voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"who?"
"Seems to be..."
"Specialty."
The sudden business interrupted Taniwa Masahide who was about to speak. Minamoto Yorimitsu turned around and saw Mizusawa Natsuya in a wedding dress walking over.
The difference from yesterday was that today she wore light makeup on her face, lightly painted her eyebrows, wore white gauze gloves on her hands, and even held a bouquet of flowers.
She walked over with a smile, and her beauty attracted everyone's attention. Even Gu Zhengying subconsciously gave up her seat at her signal, and quickly lowered her head for fear of having any thoughts.
"It seems like you are today's bride." Minamoto Noraimitsu said softly, looking at her whose eyes were shining.
"I'm not that shameless. I can't steal the limelight. I just want to take a photo with you later."
Mizusawa Natsuye held up her skirt and nestled directly next to Minamoto Yorimitsu, with a smile on her lips.
Minamoto Noraimitsu nodded, ignoring that she was scratching the edges of his palms with her white gauze gloves. He glanced around and suddenly said: "The wedding is about to begin."
That is, as his voice fell.
The lights of the Water Church suddenly dimmed.
White lights gather at the back of the church.
The closed door slowly opened, and Chinatsu Ikeda, who was dressed in a wedding dress, walked up with the support of Shinohara Kinko and Yoshida Satomi, and looked at Kogi Haruaki who was standing on the left side of the pastor with a smile.
The wedding ceremony was officially held. Several children wearing wreaths ran in, holding flower baskets in their hands and scattering flowers. There were also children pulling on the skirts of the wedding dresses.
Kogi Seimei finally held her lover's hand with rosy eyes, and straightened her lover's too-long veil with trembling fingers. Finally, holding hands, she stood in front of the priest, looking at each other and waiting for the wedding oath.
The petals fluttered in the air, the ring was placed on the ring finger along the fingertips, and the oath fell.
Kogi Seimei, who has always been shy in front of others, gently held Ikeda Chinatsu's face without hesitation, and the two kissed on the spot. Those sitting below applauded and blessed, and the pastor smiled and silently exited the stage.
The wedding ceremony went smoothly, and there were no unexpected incidents during the process. Everyone even took a group photo on stage. Afterwards, the staff arranged for us to go to a special restaurant, which was just big enough for everyone.
However, it is worth mentioning that after the wedding ceremony, Mizusawa Natsuye called a staff member, grabbed Minamoto Yorimitsu and ran to the church to take a group of photos. One photo was actually dozens of photos.
After the banquet, Chinatsu Ikeda was in poor health, Haruaki Ogi and the woman's two friends returned to the hotel. Masahide Taniwa became honest now and would rather go back to the hotel than run around.
After taking the photo, Minamoto Yorimitsu was originally planning to go back to catch up on his sleep and arrange the return flight, but Mizusawa Natsuye pulled him back again and insisted on accompanying her for a walk on the streets of Asahikawa. Only then did he
I remembered that I still owed the other party a request for companionship.
............
More than 130 rivers pass through Asahikawa.
As a result, more than 740 bridges were built.
Under the pear tree beside the river, Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Mizusawa Natsuye were walking along the river. However, they had only walked about two miles when light snow started to fall in the sky.
There are also many people walking beside the river.
This weather should be just right for the citizens of Hokkaido, and it happens to be in the evening.
"To be honest, I misjudged you." Mizusawa Xiaye suddenly stopped and broke off a branch of the pear tree.
"Which aspect are you referring to?"
"In various ways."
Mizusawa Natsuye had already changed out of her wedding dress and was wearing cotton clothes. Looking at his strange expression, she just smiled and handed him a pear blossom branch and said softly:
"Originally, like the Holy Son, I only regarded you as a junior, but as we get along with you, it seems that this is not the case. You are actually very interesting."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu touched the slightly cold pear blossom branch in his hand and said, "I think I'm rather bored."
"It's not boring, it's shameless."
The voice came from far away, and Mizusawa Natsuye moved away, holding a pear blossom branch in his hand as he walked: "The interesting thing is, why does a person who doesn't believe in feelings always talk about feelings with women?"
"It's to satisfy my emotional needs."
"Is that just like this? If you want a healthy relationship, you can get along slowly. If you want an unhealthy relationship, you can also exchange benefits, but you can say it's neither better nor worse."
"So Miss Mizusawa came out just to ask me these questions and then belittle me a little bit?"
Minamoto norimitsu stopped and looked at the grand master speechless for a moment. Is this what he said when he called himself out? Do you still want to learn replica carving from the grand master?
He felt that the other party certainly had no good intentions.
Therefore, when the situation between ourselves and the enemy is unclear, or even when we are at a disadvantage, we should open up and play straight.
Mizusawa Natsuye stopped and stared at Minamoto Yorimitsu with a smile, as if deliberately delaying time, and then asked after a while: "I just want to ask you, do you believe in love?"
"I don't really believe it. I even have a belief that people can be artificially guided and controlled during relationships."
"Please give me an example and let me think about how to refute it."
Shuize Xiaye was thoughtful, turned around and walked towards the stone bridge beside the river, holding the hand holding the pear blossom branch behind his back, and the sound came from far away.
She finally stood in the middle of the bridge, yawned lazily, and her breath condensed into white mist.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu walked over slowly, stood on the bridge and looked at the icy edge of the river below. Feeling his hands were cold, he placed the pear blossom branch on the stone railing.
"In today's relationship, if a man continues to please a woman, his value in the other woman's heart will be reduced, and he may not even have dignity in the end."
"I don't object to sincerity being a must-win skill, but if one party in the relationship overpays, just like the inverse law I mentioned yesterday, this person will gradually become less valued and become even more humble in the eyes of the other party."
"To control the status of a relationship is actually a process of amplifying one's own value. This value not only depends on what you have, but also depends on the other party's sunk cost, that is, what she has paid."
Mizusawa Xiaye listened thoughtfully, and finally nodded slightly and said, "I do agree with this."
"So I don't think that love can be given without limit. The only person who loses after giving is yourself."
Minamoto Yorimitsu looked into the distance and replied.
"But now I have another question."
Mizusawa Natsuye crossed her arms, her hair around her ears swaying in the wind, and asked with a pretending doubtful expression:
"Since you know this pattern, why can't you use it to guide the other person to make the relationship better?"
She paused and continued:
"For example, after you ask the other person to pay, you also ask yourself to pay. Knowing that you also have costs, you will also value the other person, and the relationship will become more intimate."
"This is my current creed." Minamoto Norimitsu looked at her with a look of approval in his eyes.
Mizusawa Xiaye hated the look in his eyes, and smiled softly: "But you think this is false, right?"
"Probably so." Minamoto Yorimitsu lowered his head and fiddled with the pear blossom branches, and continued: "I am not a very demanding person, but it was not pure from the beginning, and it was mixed with various things later, but everything can still be controlled."
"But I think some of it is uncontrollable."
"Miss Mizusawa, please refute me."
"There should be no sunk costs for me as a specialist, right?"
"A business of several hundred million is not a small business."
"Begging for a beating!" The slender palms were printed on the shoulders with laughter. Mizusawa Xiaye lightly covered her lips with her hands: "In terms of actual costs, you didn't pay for me."
"So what do you want Miss Mizusawa to do?"
"If I jump from here, you will definitely be anxious to save me, and you have no control over this."
"I don't want to make this kind of joke."
"I'm not joking, what do you think?" Mizusawa Xiaye pointed her toes forward, looking down at the lake about six or seven meters away from the bridge, as if silently calculating the distance.
Minamoto Yorimitsu turned around and left, not even taking the pear blossom branch from the stone fence. Rich people always cherish their lives more than anyone else, even the great master is no exception.
What he wants to do now is to pull back, such as turning around and leaving, to make the other party think that he is angry.
Then he regained the initiative. He had tried this trick on both Tianhai and Yu Yaobao Chayin, and it was proven to be successful every time. It could also suppress the big green tea.
Plop!
The dull sound of falling into the lake sounded.
There is also the echo of falling water drops.
"Someone jumped into the lake! Someone jumped into the lake!"
The shrill children's voice sounded, and Minamoto Yoriguang turned around violently, and saw that Mizusawa Natsuye who was originally on the stone bridge had disappeared, and two elementary school students were shouting.
He quickly walked over and took a look, and found that there were only pear branches on the stone fence, and there were bubbles on the lake surface.
Minamoto Yorimitsu's expression was solemn, and he held the stone railing with his palms without making any movement. Although the voice of the primary school student next to him attracted many people, he just stared at the lake.
Time passes minute by minute.
More and more people gathered.
But the lake surface has returned to calmness, as if nothing happened, and passers-by do not come from a distance.
After more than ten seconds, even the bubbles disappeared.
It's like no one has ever jumped.
"Crazy woman!"
Minamoto Noraimitsu cursed in a low voice, and finally understood the difficulty of the Grand Master, and jumped directly into the lake.
The water in the lake is so cold that it can freeze your heart to the bone.
He expelled his breath and dived, and finally fished out the unconscious Mizuze Xiaye from the lake.
When I got to the shore, I didn't care that my clothes were soaked.
The fingers of both hands were interlaced on her chest to perform compressions and artificial respiration, while the passers-by around her were pointing and even taking pictures.
"Cough...cough cough..."
A mouthful of water was coughed out of her mouth.
Mizusawa Natsuye opened her eyes.
Then I felt a sudden lightness in my body, and suddenly I heard Minamoto Norimitsu's breathless voice coming from above my head: "You succeeded in making me angry. Tonight, you must come over and calm down my anger and apologize."
"You really know how to joke."
Mizusawa Xiaye breathed rapidly, smiled on her frozen pale face, and moved her head closer to his arms: "This is obviously your reward for me."
Minamoto Yorimitsu ignored her, carried her into a taxi with a dark face, and went straight to the nearest hospital.
Don't rest assured until you check and everything is fine.
During this period, Mizusawa Natsuye also woke up. When she spoke to Minamoto Yorimitsu, the latter remained silent. She just looked at him with a smile, like a child who had won.
Put on all kinds of smiling faces in front of Minamoto Yorimitsu.
And Minamoto Yorimitsu seemed to have kept silent without saying a word, just waiting for him to fulfill his promise, as if if he didn't fulfill his promise, he would always be cold-faced with Mizusawa Natsuye.
After checking to make sure everything was fine, the two returned to the hotel.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when we got to the room.
I casually ordered some hotel packages, and Minamoto norimitsu ate in the room without saying a word and just lay on the bed.
The door to the room was opened by the key card.
Mizusawa Natsuye changed into clean clothes.
The sickness I felt when I jumped into the lake during the day was completely gone.
She glanced at the silent Minamoto Yorimitsu, couldn't help but smile again, and walked towards the window unhurriedly.
White snowflakes cling to the branches, the waning moon shines through the thin clouds, and the cool night wind blows into the valley, seemingly looking for a way home.
He slowly closed the curtains with a slight twist, and turned off the lights. Only the thin moonlight reflected the figures.
Mizuze Xiaye turned around, walked up to him, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Tonight is not about soul sincerity, we only talk about light winter and deep spring."
"Okay, just follow the old rules and keep your head down."
Minamoto Yorimitsu looked directly at her and suddenly said.
Mizuze Xiaye's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this.
It turns out you've been pretending to be dumb until now because you're waiting for this!
