The next morning, Xu Chengyan woke up very early.
Today was Jiang Lin's wedding.
Xu Chengyan propped himself up and nudged the man beside him again to wake up He Yang.
He Yang opened his eyes, and after seeing the person in front of him, he habitually reached out and wrapped his arms around the person and called out, "Yanyan....."
He Yang had only just woken up again, and his voice was still a little lazy.
Xu Chengyan reminded, "It's time to go back, or you'll be discovered."
He Yang fell silent, but eventually had to get up and walk outside.
After He Yang left, Xu Chengyan also went to wash and change first, and took his suit out.
Xu Chengyan changed his suit and put on his daily makeup to style himself.
He had been in the entertainment industry for a few years, and now he knew how to make-up and style himself.
After everything was ready, Xu Chengyan left the room and headed outside.
The villa had become slightly more lively, with quite a few guests already in the living room and the maids are shuttling around the first floor.
Jiang Lin got up very early and was sitting on the sofa chatting with his friends.
When Jiang Lin saw Xu Chengyan coming down, his eyes lit up and he rushed over.
"Brother Zhou!" Jiang Lin hugged Xu Chengyan on the shoulders and said mysteriously, "Brother Zhou, I'll introduce you to my classmate! A handsome single guy!"
Xu Chengyan looked over and instantly saw a young boy sitting on the sofa.
Jiang Lin was still rambling on, "I'm telling you! He's so nice! Brother Zhou you guys can try it as a friend first?"
With that, Jiang Lin planned to pull Xu Chengyan over to say hello.
Xu Chengyan quickly stopped Jiang Lin, still saying, "Jiang Lin, no need, I have someone I like."
When Jiang Lin heard this, he was shocked and said, "Who?!"
"It's not very convenient to say right now....." Xu Chengyan showed a difficult face and didn't tell Jiang Lin who he was.
However, Jiang Lin misunderstood it to mean something else, thinking that Xu Chengyan hadn't caught up yet.
And this is not a very appropriate occasion to discuss such private topics.
"Brother Zhou, you actually hid it all from me!" Jiang Lin patted Xu Chengyan on the shoulder and said, "When I'm done, I'll ask you again!"
"You go ahead and get busy." Xu Chengyan also urged.
Jiang Lin also waved his hand, went over and got busy first.
The wedding had not yet started, so Xu Chengyan found a quiet corner in the living room to stay.
Although there were quite a few guests in the living room, he was not too familiar with them.
Xu Chengyan took a drink from the table and leaned back on the sofa alone.
Suddenly, Xu Chengyan sensed something and when he looked up towards the staircase without thinking, he saw a familiar figure—
He Yang was dressed in a formal suit and gown, slowly walking down the stairs.
He Yang's eyes gaze glanced around the living room and locked on the youth with unmistakable accuracy.
The two eyes converged in mid-air and quickly parted again.
Xu Chengyan turned his head sideways to avoid his gaze, bowed his head and drank his drink.
He Yang also walked downstairs towards the other side of the living room, avoid touching each other as if they were completely unfamiliar with each other.
Xu Chengyan stayed in the living room for a while before heading outside again, to the beach.
Onavoe side of the beach, the seats were also already half full. Xu Chengyan found his own seat and leaned quietly against the back of the chair.
The time for the wedding was getting closer and closer, and the guests were arriving one after another on the beach.
At this moment, Xu Chengyan noticed that He Yang's seat was at the next table, a little far away from him, probably because Jiang Lin had specially avoided it.
Xu Chengyan sat down and looked at the blue sea not far away, and his mood brightened up.
Seaside, beach, wedding—
Everything was very beautiful.
As the wedding began, Xu Chengyan sat under the stage and looked at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin was wearing a pure white suit and standing next to Yuan Lie, the two of them were a perfect match.
Xu Chengyan sat under the stage and watched the two couples exchange rings and kiss.
The atmosphere was very lively and Xu Chengyan was infected a little, laughing and heckling.
Amidst the cheers, Xu Chengyan couldn't help but look to the side and saw He Yang sitting at the table next to him.
He Yang was sitting quietly in his chair, his face still looking aloof and a bit out of place.
After exchanging the rings, the maid brought the wedding cake over.
Jiang Lin cut the cake and handed it to the guests.
Xu Chengyan also got his share, except that he didn't eat much sweets, so he just took a few bites and didn't move.
Because he was wearing a suit, Xu Chengyan felt a little hot, so he got up and wanted to rest for a while.
There was a temporary rest area next to him that had been set up for shade, so Xu Chengyan walked over and hid under the shade.
Xu Chengyan sat on a chair and looked at the beach from afar.
While Xu Chengyan was watching the scenery, he noticed that He Yang had also come over.
He Yang walked around the crowd and came to the youth.
The two sat together under the shade of a tree and He Yang asked, "Why don't you go over?"
"It's a bit hot, I'm taking a break." Xu Chengyan smiled and asked again, "What about you?"
He Yang: "I came to look for you."
Xu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Lin in the distance, unable to resist saying, "Jiang Lin got married....."
"Hmm."
"He even got married before you did.....," Xu Chengyan said subconsciously.
He Yang did not respond.
Xu Chengyan also noticed that this topic seemed to be somewhat ambiguous and stopped talking.
In the distance, Jiang Lin was coaxed by the crowd and threw his arms around Yuan Lie's neck.
The two kissed in front of everyone, blessed by all, brightly.
Xu Chengyan looked at the two figures and was slightly lost in thought for a moment.
And He Yang's eyes gradually fell on the youth's hand, looking at the youth's ring finger—
The ring finger was empty.
It would have looked great with a ring on it.
Thinking this, He Yang couldn't help but reach out his hand and take the youth's left hand, clasping his fingers together.
Xu Chengyan also did not refuse and held the hand back.
The two sat quietly.
After a while, Xu Chengyan said, "Let's go back to the villa."
"Mm." He Yang answered.
The two of them got up and went back to the villa first.
Xu Chengyan went to the first floor balcony and slowly sipped his tea, still looking at the beach side.
Although the villa was a little far from the beach, from this angle of the balcony, he could still see Jiang Lin and the others.
From a distance away, Xu Chengyan saw a few photographers there, taking Jiang Lin and Yuan Lie's wedding photos.
Jiang Lin was holding Yuan Lie's shoulders, and the two of them kept making one intimate pose after another on the beach.
Xu Chengyan looked at the two people taking wedding photos and suddenly shouted, "He Yang."
He Yang answered and walked over.
"We haven't taken any photos yet." Xu Chengyan looked at He Yang, and on a whim, he asked, "Do you want to take a picture too?"
Only He Yang was the one who said, "Yes."
"Hmm?"
He Yang: "There's a group photo."
Saying that, He Yang then took out his phone, flipped through the album and found a photo that had been saved for a long time, "This one."
Xu Chengyan went over to take a look and found that it was a photo of himself, QiQi and He Yang together.
In the photo, he was squatting on the ground and stroking QiQi's head, while He Yang was slightly leaning over the side.....
When Xu Chengyan looked at this photo, he remembered that he was photographed by a photographer when he was participating in a variety show in the Netherlands last year.
At that time he came across QiQi running out in the Netherlands, so he was ready to send QiQi back, and just happened to run into He Yang on the way, and then the two of them were photographed by a passing photographer.
However, Xu Chengyan also remembered that He Yang had communicated with the photographer at that time, and should have deleted the photo.
"Didn’t you delete it?" Xu Chengyan asked.
He Yang: "I’m not willing."
Xu Chengyan laughed: "You actually kept it....."
It had been over a year since the variety show, and he had almost forgotten about that group photo.
He didn't expect that He Yang had actually secretly kept the photo, and had kept it until now.
Xu Chengyan thought for a while and said, "You can send me a copy."
He Yang sent the photo to Xu Chengyan.
Xu Chengyan received the photo and pressed save.
Xu Chengyan couldn't help but zoom in on the photo and look at the details in the photo over and over again.
This was the first and only time he and He Yang had ever taken a photo together.
After he had seen enough of this photo, Xu Chengyan looked towards the beach again.
Suddenly, Xu Chengyan noticed a photographer walking towards the villa.
The photographer, who looked to be in his thirties, was looking down at the photos in his camera and seemed to be planning to go back to the villa to rest.
Just in time, the photographer also raised his head and noticed the figure on the balcony.
Xu Chengyan stood on the balcony and waved at the photographer.
Xu Chengyan shouted, "Can you take a photo for us too?"
"Sure." The photographer nodded his head and came the way towards the balcony.
Xu Chengyan also turned towards He Yang and said, "Come and take a picture."
"Now?" He Yang froze and glanced at the photographer, not yet ready.
Xu Chengyan pulled He Yang directly to his side, and the two stood side by side, facing the camera.
The two were in a regular pose, as if they were taking an ID photo.
The photographer was also standing outside the balcony, finding a good angle and shouting, "Three, two, one!"
The photographer looked into the camera and couldn't help but say, "Relax little handsome guy on the left! Smile!"
Xu Chengyan pushed He Yang's arm after hearing this.
He Yang also adjusted his facial expression and tried to control his emotions.
However, the photographer was still a little dissatisfied with the picture, obviously the two main characters in photo were not bad in appearance and the lighting was just right, but the picture did not look beautiful.
The young man on the right was fine and had a good sense of camera, but the one on the left had a stern face, and it was very incongruous for them to be in the same frame.
The photographer, who has been shooting wedding photos for a long time, habitually shouted: "The handsome young man on the left smiled! Get a little closer! Yes, yes, yes! Don't be so cold with your expression!"
He Yang tried several times, but he still wasn't used to facing the camera. He sighed softly and said to Xu Chengyan, "Why don't we forget about it? Don't shoot."
"You're really....."
Xu Chengyan was a bit helpless, but he really had no choice, he wrapped one hand around the man's neck, pulled the man's head down slightly and kissed him.
He Yang was stunned and habitually stretched out his hand to protect the youth’s back.
The photographer also quickly pressed the shutter to keep the scene.
