Life is like a piece of chocolate: you never know what you will get next. - "Forrest Gump"
——
Xiaoqing got off the train and found out that the place Ruochu had brought her to was a small town called Gloucester. The train only lasted about two hours, but Ruochu kept looking at the time along the way, which made Xiaoqing's anxiety even more serious.
She was confused, but she didn't ask, thinking that Ruochu was just out for fun.
This small town is so small that you can walk around it in a few hours. However, Xiao Qing knows that this place is famous for Gloucester Cathedral. Although she has never been there, she has heard about it for a long time.
Gloucester Cathedral has a history of more than 1,000 years. It is said that it is the only place besides Westminster Abbey where the King of England can be crowned. When Ruochu took Xiaoqing with her, she saw the tall square roof of the church from a distance.
When she saw her, Ruochu wanted to jump up with joy and even shouted excitedly, "Hogwarts, here I come."
Xiaoqing couldn't help but burst out laughing, she was still a child after all, "Baby, as far as my godmother knows, if you really want to go to the filming location, you should go to Oxford University." Xiaoqing saw Ruochu's excitement.
He couldn't help but be infected by his appearance. This was a casual conversation he took the initiative to make with Ruochu along the way.
"Of course I want to go to Oxford University, but I have to come here first." Ruo Chuyi blurted out happily.
"Why do you want to come here first?" Xiaoqing also asked casually. In her opinion, Oxford University seems more attractive, and "Harry Potter" has more scenes there. Gloucester Cathedral seems to only use its appearance.
And that long corridor.
"Well, do you just want to take a look at the corridor first? Come on, let's go in quickly." Ruochu stuck out his tongue secretly, almost leaking the secret, but it was okay, and he didn't have to hold on much longer.
The task is completed, but there is still one last step left.
Xiaoqing shook her head and followed Ruochu into the church.
"Ruoruo, don't you take a picture here?" Xiaoqing looked around as she walked, but Ruochu walked very quickly. Originally Xiaoqing was not in the mood to visit, but the majesty, solemnity and historical and cultural heritage of this church made her always want to
The people who were watching indifferently were moved, but this cheerful man was unmoved.
"Ah, let's go to the middle hall to take a look first. When we come out later, we can take pictures here." Ruochu stopped and waited for Xiaoqing to catch up, then took her arm and continued walking forward, as if he was afraid of losing her.
Similar.
When Xiaoqing followed Ruochu to the nave with one foot, she couldn't help but hold her breath deeply. The open and majestic dome supported the entire nave, and the tall stained glass windows were half-opened to welcome the sunlight in and filter it.
Part of it fell off, making the entire hall look quiet and mysterious. The solid Normandy stone pillars stood proudly, with handsome and rigid lines. There were also many monuments to distinguished figures. Turning her head, a piece of painted glass curtain wall caught Xiaoqing's eyes. She originally
It was Ren Ruochu who pulled her forward. I don't know when Ruochu let go of her hand, "Ruoruo, look over there." Xiaoqing fixed her eyes on the glass curtain wall and said in surprise while using her fingers.
For Ruochu, a tall body blocked her sight.
Because Xiaoqing's attention was all on the glass curtain wall, she subconsciously turned her head and tried to bypass the person's blockage. However, she turned sideways several times and was always blocked by that person. Xiaoqing was a little impatient and a little angry.
She looked up at the man standing in front of her, and was about to ask him to get out of the way. When she saw the man's face clearly, she choked back what she wanted to say. She was so surprised that she forgot what to say.
"Qing, are you okay?" Bernard stood in front of her in a formal suit, greeting Xiaoqing with a sunny smile that was brighter than this hall, and at the same time stretched out his arms to hug her.
Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing subconsciously took two steps back before Bernard was about to touch her.
Bernard had no choice but to retract his hand.
"Why are you here?" Xiaoqing's expression was full of nervousness and defensiveness. Facing this man who abandoned her for no reason, Xiaoqing's reaction should be normal.
"I'm getting married today, have you forgotten?" Bernard's smile remained the same, seemingly deeper than before, and he was not moved by Xiaoqing's look at all.
Xiaoqing's expression changed from alert to anger to despair. She took two steps back and said loudly: "Ruoruo, let's go." After saying this, she didn't hear a reply, and then she remembered to turn around and look for Ruochu.
When her eyes were fixed on Ruochu, what made her even more stunned was that the person standing next to Ruochu was her brother Xiaochuan, and next to him was a smiling man who looked exactly like the "silly boy" in "Four Weddings and a Funeral"
Mr. Bean" plays the role of a pastor.
What's going on? Xiaoqing's brain shut down for a while before she remembered to ask Ruochu loudly: "Ruoruo, what on earth is going on?" No wonder Ruochu kept looking at the time along the way. Could this be an appointment?
Is it true? Are you the only one who is kept in the dark? But this is too cruel, don’t you even have the freedom to avoid that man’s wedding? Do they have to watch him kiss another woman with your own eyes before they are willing to do it?
?What kind of relatives are these?
"Godmother, this, this has nothing to do with me." Ruochu's voice became smaller and smaller after he said it. After looking at Xiaochuan next to him, he lowered his head sadly. Although he felt guilty, he was right, Daddy.
She didn't know how it came about.
Xiaoqing stomped her foot angrily, "Okay, I'll go by myself." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the door of the nave. After taking a few steps, Bernard pulled her back and held her in his arms.
Xiaoqing desperately tried to break away, but Bernard whispered in his ear: "You don't want to fight with me in a place like this, do you?" This sentence really worked, Xiaoqing stopped struggling, and the solemn atmosphere here was
It was indeed inappropriate for a man and a woman to quarrel. However, he did not completely submit. Instead, he straightened his spine and turned his head to the other side, avoiding Bernard's gaze.
"Qing, I called you before to tell you that I was getting married and invited you to my wedding. I didn't say who I was marrying, right?" Bernard still held Xiao Qing tightly and whispered in her ear calmly.
Said while saying.
Xiaoqing's expression changed slightly, but she didn't turn her head.
"Don't you care who I marry? Fool, when I say marriage, you don't even look at where the bride is?" After Bernard said this, he lowered his head and gently rubbed Xiaoqing's ears and lips.
Qing didn't hide this time, and glanced around. Indeed, she didn't see any other women except Ruochu. What's strange is that this place is supposed to be a tourist attraction. How come this middle hall, except for a few of them, has been empty for so long?
No one came in again, but I didn't bother to delve into it now.
"I'm asking you now, Wu Xiaoqing, will you marry me?" Bernard used his hands to turn Xiaoqing's head to face him this time, suppressed his smile, looked into her eyes and asked word by word.
.
Xiaoqing did not expect that Bernard would propose to her in such a situation. Now all she could do was to look at Bernard intently like when she just saw him, but this time she did not hold on for long.
Seeing Xiaoqing's long eyelashes, she blinked quickly, then lowered her eyes, and then two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably, falling hot on Bernard's hand.
At this time, Bernard really wanted to kiss her tears away, but she had not promised him yet, and he had to get an answer first.
"Baby, will you do that?" Bernard asked softly again.
"Seriously?" Xiaoqing's eyes widened, and her eyes that had just been washed by tears looked even brighter.
"Absolutely true."
"But why are you saying it now?" This is what Xiaoqing wants to know, why not propose on her birthday like before.
"Because I'm afraid that you will reject me, because I vow to successfully get you this time, because everyone thinks that the number thirteen is unlucky, but I want to prove that from today on, this number is a lucky number for me.
Are you willing to help me achieve it?" Bernard said passionately.
Finally, Xiaoqing showed a smile she hadn't seen for a long time since her birthday. This time it was sincere.
In fact, reality is like this, life is like this, it will always be more twists and turns than fiction, that is because each of us is a living existence, we rack our brains to get everything we want, we refuse to be mediocre, we are
After putting a romantic stamp on everything, every bit of it becomes unforgettable forever.
As Xiaoqing, would she blame Bernard? She felt her chest and asked herself, no, because if not, she would never know how much she cared about him, and she would never be able to experience despair after
Later, she felt the surprise of such a rare lost thing, which only made her cherish the days she spent with him even more in the future.
After going around in circles for thirteen years, a love marathon that seemed to have no end finally came to fruition, which made Ruochu sigh in admiration.
"Ruoruo, are you okay?" Xiaochuan was also paying attention to the movements of the couple in the middle of the middle hall, fearing that they would not be able to reach an agreement, because he knew his sister's stubborn temper, and Xiaochuan was very worried that Bernard would lie to her like this.
She was worried that Xiaoqing would not be able to accept it, but she could not refuse Bernard's invitation. After all, if they really wanted to get married, someone from Xiaoqing's natal family would have to come.
After seeing the two people hugging each other, Xiaochuan looked away and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that Ruochu beside him had tears streaming down his face.
"Humbert, when I told you that I was coming to England, did you already know what I was doing?" Ruochu wiped his tears and asked in a low voice. Now Ruochu no matter what the occasion, no matter business or private matters,
They no longer call Xiaochuan Daddy, but all call him Humbert, and Xiaochuan sounds very useful.
Unconsciously raising the corners of his mouth, Xiaochuan coughed twice and did not answer Ruochu's question.
Even though he was as smart as ever, he could only shake his head and sigh, lamenting that Bernard was so skillful that he had to play an infernal game to chase a wife. I'm afraid there are only a few such people.
