Don’t be a licking dog when you are reborn.

Chapter 304: Lovers finally get married (almost 2 in 1)

At this time, Wen Nuan also remembered that today was the fourth day of the Chinese New Year and the Civil Affairs Bureau was not open yet...

Logically speaking, with her memory, she would never forget such a thing, but she was too emotional and excited that she forgot the time.

But even though I had forgotten it, the emotions that I had accumulated with great difficulty had now been extinguished.

Wen Xiaonuan, who was still holding the household registration booklet, was a little depressed at this time.

Today was such a happy day, Ji Feng definitely couldn't let his wife be unhappy, so he patted Wen Xiaonuan's shoulder and gave a thumbs up in the direction of the city:

"Let's go."

"Go? Where?"

"It's just that we can't get married today, but it doesn't mean we can't live anymore. We still have to go on with our lives, right?"

Hearing Ji Feng's suggestion, Wen Nuan's gloomy expression brightened again.

She wanted to ask what they were going to eat today, but she thought that since they had just had breakfast, it would be a bit too much to ask about it now, so she changed the topic:
"So...shall we go shopping?"

"Okay!"

Ji Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and with warmth, he returned to the will-o'-the-wisp fire parked on the side of the road.

The roar of the motorcycle sounded, and then there was a slightly burnt and choking smell. I hadn't ridden this bike for 2 years, but it was inexplicably burning oil.

Ji Feng frowned:

"I don't know if it's because of mechanical aging, but this car is a bit out of service now. Do you want to change it?"

Wen Nuan doesn't really care about burning oil.

Even in Wen Nuan's heart, every time she saw Ji Feng riding on the will-o'-the-wisp, she always felt like laughing for some unknown reason.

That kind of smile comes from the joy in the heart.

She doesn't want to trade in or sell the car, she wants to keep it...

"No, even if you don't ride this anymore, don't sell it, okay?"

Hearing Wen Nuan say this, Ji Feng immediately understood what she meant.

Will-o'-the-wisp is also something worth remembering between them.

There are not many warm and worthwhile memories.

For her, the will-o'-the-wisp is the beginning of her cherished memories and the starting point of an unforgettable relationship.

4 years, neither long nor short.

Even if the car breaks down in the future, she hopes to keep it well.

"Well, I'll never sell it, and I'll never throw it away!"

"Ah."

The two got in the car, crossed the traffic, and strolled casually. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the bustling city center four years ago.

Four years have passed in a flash, and this once prosperous downtown area has now become much more dilapidated.

With the establishment of Wanda City Plaza, the once most prosperous department store commercial street in Pearl City is now sparsely populated.

The old era will be gradually abandoned, and no one can resist the changes of the times.

The Internet industry has undergone the greatest changes, but the feeling is not clear.

The iterative changes and alternations of the old and the new in this physical industry are what are most touching. People who live here often sigh over the changes in the environment and the flow of people.

In fact, they are not feeling sorry for this old commercial street. They are just feeling sorry for their money and the falling house prices.

Everyone is like this.

"I haven't been here for a long time. It's changed a lot..." The warm expression was a little inexplicable.

Her first change actually took place in this place, in the retail clothing store downstairs in the department store.

A few years have passed, and due to the impact of e-commerce, it is actually very difficult to sell clothes in physical stores.

After all, the prices online are very exaggerated. Compared with the prices in physical stores, they are also very exaggerated, it's just that one is exaggeratedly low and the other is exaggeratedly high.

"Well, there aren't many people here anymore. I don't know how long it can last."

Ji Feng was telling the truth. The most important thing about a shopping mall is the flow of people.

No matter what you say, it’s useless to blow up a flower in a shopping mall without people.

After hearing Ji Feng's answer, Wen Nuan's expression became conflicted.

"I want to go to the old mall and have a look."

"it is good."

Ji Feng readily agreed, and the two returned to their first "date"...

Let's just say it's a dating place. He used to bring warmth there, but now he brings his wife there.

Although it's the same person, the mood seems a little different!
The layout of the mall has changed a bit. The women's clothing area has been reduced a lot. Of the two women's clothing stores they used to go to, only one is left now.

The store where I bought the yellow and blue waist-length skirt no longer exists.

I don’t know whether it moved away or closed down.

Wen Nuan stared at the clothing store with a changed sign and fell silent again.

"Beauty, would you like to take a look? You can try."

Maybe because there are not so many customers, the sales clerks here are more enthusiastic than before, and their warm responses are not as restrained as before.

She smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I'll just take a look myself."

Wen Nuan was choosing clothes, looking a little absent-minded. It was not until she picked out a set of slightly eye-catching purple winter clothes that she raised the clothes and turned to look at Ji Feng:

"Monsoon, what do you think of this one?"

"It's just so-so, but it would look great on you."

His warm lips curled up and he shook his head slightly.

Her fashion sense is different from before. Actually, what Ji Feng said is right, the styles of clothes here are quite ordinary.

The slightly exaggerated style seems to be out of touch with the current mainstream women's clothing.

Perhaps this is also a major reason for the decline of physical stores.

Their sensitivity to fashion and style lags far behind that on the Internet.

After selecting a few pieces, Wen Nuan asked casually:
"Ji Feng, what kind of clothing and make-up do you think is suitable for me now?"

"I think you can tie your hair into a ponytail now, wear a blue and white sportswear, no makeup, and hide your bunny."

warmth:? ? ?
"Whose shadow do you want to find in me?"

"yours."

"Eh?" Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment.

There is tenderness in Ji Feng's eyes:
"Your shadow when we met."

His voice was serious, not joking.

Wen Nuan tilted her head slightly, and after standing there thinking for a while, she still didn't understand why Ji Feng would think of herself at that time.

After all, in her own opinion, she was quite ugly at that time.

"Wasn't I just an ugly girl then?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have never been ugly in my eyes. Aren't you too insecure about your appearance?"

"Back then... was there any difference from now?" Wen Nuan was still very suspicious, feeling like Ji Feng was playing a trick on her.

But Ji Feng thought seriously for a while before giving his answer:
"I felt like you were about to break apart at that time."

"Broken?" Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, as if she was recalling what she looked like at that time.

Inferiority complex, fragile, rejecting everything around like a hedgehog.

It was the monsoon that gradually uncovered her shell, allowing her to gradually live vividly in the real world.

Not just your own closed space.

But in fact, Wen Nuan doesn’t like herself at that time very much. That kind of inferiority is a past that she can’t erase, but it is also a past that she has always wanted to avoid.

"do not want!"

"Um, why?" Ji Feng was a little surprised by Wen Nuan's rejection. After all, Wen Xiaonuan rarely rejected him in daily life.

"No reason, I don't want to be like that, and I don't want to go back to the way it was before."

Seeing that Wen Xiaonuan was determined, Ji Feng didn't feel comfortable forcing her to do anything.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work then..."

As if sensing Ji Feng's disappointment, Wen Nuan moved closer to him:
"Disappointed?"

"That's not the case at all!" Ji Feng was a little disappointed, because the warmth at that time really left such a deep impression on him.

To the extent that even today, Ji Feng is still confused about what happened between the two of them.

Who was the person who was saved at that time?
"Okay, I know you're a little unhappy, so let me make it up to you tonight, the kind you like!"

Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows when she said this.

This is clearly Ji Feng's usual expression, but she imitated him and looked pretty good doing it.

At this moment, Ji Feng actually wanted to ask.

What are the specific contents of the compensation?
Like that one?

Or the inner one?
Oh, actually Ji Feng didn’t seem to be looking forward to it very much. After all, they have been together for so long, they are already an old married couple.

"Um, at night..."

"Don't ask yet. A birthday should be celebrated in a birthday manner. Since it's a surprise, you definitely can't tell us now."

Seeing Wen Nuan keeping him in suspense, Ji Feng could only suppress his inner struggle and nodded:
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Now we..."

"We're going to continue shopping now!"

"Where to go?"

“Go where we’ve been before.”

"A place you've been to before?" Ji Feng repeated it, and then was dragged by Wen Nuan and ran to the men's clothing section of the mall.

Once upon a time, it was Ji Feng who bought clothes and dressed Wen Nuan.

But today, Wen Nuan wanted to take the initiative and help Ji Feng take care of it.

"What do you need, pretty lady?"

Maybe it was because of the mask and her outfit, or maybe it was because they had never seen each other very often, the shopping guide didn’t recognize Wen Nuan.

Wen Nuan thought this was good, at least no one would disturb her.

"Where is the windbreaker section?"

"This way."

The shopping guide took the two of them to the men's clothing area, but when they saw the prices and quality, Wen Nuan shook her head slightly.

Pearl City is a small city with few luxury clothing stores. It's not that Wen Nuan wants to buy luxury clothing, but the quality of men's clothing here is really uneven. She can feel the difference in texture just by touching it.

Wen Nuan is now a genuine top wealthy woman. If we look at the value of her shares, her net worth has exceeded that of Mu Wanqiu.

Buying some clothes for Ji Feng would be a no-brainer.

So she wanted to pick something better.

“Is there any with better quality or a bigger brand?”

Hearing the warm question, the salesgirl was stunned for a moment. Although she was a salesgirl from a small city, she was not the kind of person who looked down on others.

It’s just that she thinks Wen Nuan and Ji Feng are very young, so the styles she recommends are suitable for this age group.

The warm expression on her face now clearly shows that she thinks the quality of the clothes is not good.

Could it be that this is a rich woman?

Rich second generation?

"Yes, yes, both of you follow me."

Wen Nuan followed, and Ji Feng also had an indifferent attitude. Since they had agreed to let Wen Nuan take care of it today, he just had to cooperate.

When they arrived at the more expensive brand area, Wen Nuan selected several windbreakers and casual suits from foreign brands for Ji Feng.

Watching Ji Feng changing and trying out pieces of clothing one by one, the smile on Wen Nuan's face grew wider and wider.

Satisfied, so satisfied!
At this time, the shopping guide next to her suddenly spoke:
"Beauty, your boyfriend is so handsome! He's like a clothes hanger."

Hearing the shopping guide say this, Wen Nuan, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly became serious:
"It's my husband."

The shopping guide was silent for a moment: "Ah?"

"I said, he is my husband." Wen Nuan emphasized again.

The salesgirl picked her toes awkwardly, but she quickly realized that this order might be equivalent to her sales of two or three months, so why not lick it quickly?
"Yes, sorry, it's my negligence, beautiful lady, your husband is so handsome."

After hearing the guide change her tone, Wen Nuan nodded contentedly, expressing her approval:

"Yeah, I think so too, you have good taste!"

"Would you like to place an order now, beautiful lady?" the shopping guide asked tentatively.

Wen Nuan took another look and then nodded:
"Okay, open the order."

Hearing Wen Nuan nod, the shopping guide's heart skipped a beat.

Become!

These clothes are the store’s signature items. The commission from this order is probably around 10,000 or 20,000 yuan!

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Let’s turn our attention back to Ji Feng:
"Monsoon, how do you feel?"

"It's pretty, but a little too flashy, which doesn't fit my low-key personality."

Ji Feng sighed. He didn't like to show off. Although he knew he was handsome, he didn't want to attract too many opposite sexes, so he always kept a low profile and dressed casually.

In fact, Wen Nuan has always felt that Ji Feng's figure is very suitable for wearing windbreakers.

It’s just that he is too casual in his daily life, which seems to have suppressed his good looks.

Today, the seal has been released.

"Where to go next?"

"Haircut!" Wen Nuan stared at Ji Feng's haircut and said seriously.

Wen Nuan dragged Ji Feng to the largest and most luxurious barber shop in Pearl City, Mingjian.

The guys here charge 168 for a wash, cut and blow-dry, and the top guy charges as much as 1888.

Although it's not as bad as DLhope in Shanghai, who came in chatting and laughing, but then saw the bill and it was outrageous at 18,000.

But for a place like Pearl City, it is outrageous that the boss Tony would ask for less than two thousand.

But when Ji Feng sat in the barber chair, he couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, getting a haircut is like handing over your 50% good looks to an unknown teacher named Tony.

Just because the fees are expensive doesn’t necessarily mean the company is great!

Ji Feng always thought that the old man who barbered for 5 yuan at the entrance of the village did a good job. He had been cutting hair for decades and might be even better than this teacher Tony.

"What kind of hairstyle do you want?"

"Colour hair!" Wen Nuan spoke directly.

Monsoon:? ? ?
"what?"

"It has to be more severe." Wen Xiaonuan emphasized again.

Teacher Tony smiled and nodded, then started his work.

Haircut and eyebrow trimming.

After 1 hours.

Ji Feng looked in the mirror and saw himself looking a little fierce. The sharpness that was once concealed by his hairstyle could no longer be hidden.

"Well, the master is really awesome."

After leaving the barber shop satisfied, Ji Feng and Wen Nuan rode on the Will-O-Ghost again and began to wander around the places they had been to before.

Xinhua Bookstore, Diaoyutai, and the former urban village.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the urban village, they were both stunned.

Although the memory was very old, they immediately recognized the old man who was also sitting here and selling radishes.

After four years, it’s still here!
Like them, the uncle expanded his business.

In addition to water radish, the stalls also displayed red radish, green radish, carrots...

"My goodness, your business is getting bigger and bigger."

Wen Nuan hit Ji Feng in annoyance and looked at the old man in front of them. They both fell into deep thought.

They have all bought radishes here, and they all think that the old man’s radishes are very delicious.

But neither of them gave the radish they wanted to offer to each other to eat.

That feeling good thing, without the feeling of sharing success, is like a near miss with each other.

After standing in front of the old man's stall for a few seconds, the two of them said in unison:
"Wife, do you eat radishes?"

"Honey, do you eat radishes?"

The old man sitting in front of the stall playing with his mobile phone raised his eyes to glance at the two of them, frowned at first, and then made an expression of "Oh~ I remember it".

"Oh, it's you two? Married?"

Ji Feng and Wen Nuan looked at each other and nodded together.

"Ok!"

When the old man heard the two people's affirmation and looked at their adoring eyes, he suddenly laughed:

"Okay, okay, I felt at that time that you two could make it. You would definitely make it."

As the old man spoke, he stood up, picked up a big plastic bag, and started putting all kinds of radishes into it.

Under the surprised gazes of Ji Feng and Wen Nuan, the old man handed over a large bag of radishes:

"Hey, I'll give it to you. May lovers finally get married."

"Ah? How can this be? How much?" Ji Feng and Wen Nuan were not the kind of people who liked to take advantage of others, so they immediately refused.

But Mr. Radish just waved his hand, looking impatient:

"Old man, I got more than a dozen houses from the demolition. How can I owe you a small fortune?"

"what?"

Okay, okay, you’re the landlord, right?
Ji Feng wanted to refuse, but Uncle Carrot gently waved his hand:
"Don't refuse. It's really good to see that you can catch up with her..."

"Uncle, you?" Ji Feng heard the hidden meaning.

Wen Nuan also showed a curious look.

The old man smiled, with a look of emotion and reminiscence on his face:

"I met her while working in Northeast China in 1976, and we both liked each other at that time.

But they didn't dare to reveal their love to each other, and their faces would turn red when they spoke to her.

We finally got together in 77, but we broke up in the end because her father didn't like me as a poor boy.

She got married in 82, and I received a letter from her in advance saying that she still loved me.

At that time, marriage was arranged by parents. She said she wanted to get married. A few days after I received the letter, I took a train from home to the northeast to find her.

She really got married, and she wore a bright red dress, which was very festive and beautiful.

I looked at her and she noticed me, and our eyes were wet.

I didn't say much, I just looked at her and left. It was the last time I saw the person I wanted to see the most after taking a train for three days.

There are many regrets in life, but the biggest regret is that I couldn’t catch up with her.”

Ji Feng and Wen Nuan felt sad and emotional for a moment as they listened to the old man's narration.

But the old man himself was very open-minded. He waved his hand gently:
"Later, I often regretted why I didn't persist a little longer. Many people, once you miss them, they're gone.

She likes to eat radishes, so I started selling radishes.

Young man...it's great that you can catch up with her. Consider these carrots as my gift to you for your wedding. Cherish them well."

At this time, none of the three could tell the difference.

The "she" that the old man says needs to be cherished, is it the person from the past or the warmth in front of him?

Ji Feng was silent for a moment and then suddenly laughed. He restrained his expression and took the radish handed to him by the old man.

"Yes, I will cherish it. Thank you for your contribution."

"Ugh!"

Here it is again, and it is sunset again.

After many years, everything has changed.

The beginning of the story is always like this.

The ending of the story is always like this: two flowers bloom, each in their own way.

Time will not stay in the past forever, and people cannot live in the moment forever.

But there will always be someone who remembers that moment.

For Ji Feng and Wen Nuan, this gift may be the last Easter egg they left for each other during their youth in high school.

But for the old man, it can make up for the slight regret in his heart.

It is precisely because of his own regrets that he hopes that others will be fulfilled.
