Journey to the Rose

Ruan Xi was still in a daze, only feeling that there were many people outside.

He subconsciously clenched his cuffs and hid his sweaty palms inside.He swears that now he is more nervous than ever, and his heart beats faster than the wind blowing all over the mountains.

The wind came out of the heart again, blowing towards the sloppy pavilion.

Some of those people were from the local area, and some were soldiers from the army. They lined the road to welcome them, and they were all dressed in strange clothes.They avoided chatting, avoiding gossip, and avoiding the phrase "this is Ruan Xi".

But for Lai Ruan Xi today, the weight of this sentence is different.

Wiggling the tip of his nose, he raised his eyes to look up, and found that the veil was crooked, and the white veil hanging in front of his eyes still had the smell of snowflakes, which was cold.The makeup must have blown out too.

Fortunately, no one specially arranged to take pictures, but my appearance was recorded, and I must bear to look back.

Just thinking about it, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a strange man holding a "small black box" in front of the crowd.Wearing glasses and a rumpled tuxedo, the man looked like a photographer.

"..."

Ruan Xi straightened his veil, and the roots of his ears were red.

His figure moved slightly, like snowflakes, and once again attracted everyone's attention. Their eyes were once again surging like a tide, and all curiosity fell on him, including the golden light from the gods on the top of the snow mountain.

This, he thought, was a precious wish.

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Xi bravely took the first step.

Afterwards, his gait was light, and he gradually relaxed. Everyone else in his field of vision became the background board, and only Lu Zhenghe at the end of the rose path was the destination.

Ruan Xi was walking forward, and Lu Zhenghe didn't wait at the same place as stipulated in the procedure. Instead, he ignored the persuasion and stepped forward. He reached the middle of the road ahead of time, and stretched out to Ruan Xi, just as he was going from the north. The South took him that way.

The person who was "invited" was stunned for a second, his eyes revealing helplessness under the white gauze.How do you follow the procedure?

Lu Zhenghe still stretched out his hand, pursed his lips and said nothing, and didn't intend to stretch his arm back, but moved closer to him.Then, Ruan Xi put her arms up, and the two of them linked their arms together, and then faced the pavilion that was blowing warm wind together.

"I'm in a hurry." Lu Zhenghe said in a voice that only two people could hear, "You are so slow."

Ruan Xi squeezed his palm and said in a low voice, "You are too anxious."

The road paved with roses is soft, bright red everywhere, with a pungent fragrance lingering at the tip of the nose.They walked forward arm in arm, surrounded by cheers, and every emotion celebrated them.

When walking this road, Ruan Xi's eyes glanced at everyone standing beside the road...

From Li Shen, to Wen Kai, to Bo Yang, to that egg, to every familiar soldier, to Gu Zirong smiling in the corner.

Gu Zirong smiled guiltily and flinched a little. He didn't look energetic, his face was a little haggard, and he knew that he should step forward.

Seeing Gu Zirong, Ruan Xi thought of Wei Hong who had died, and thousands of people who had lost their lives in the disaster.The waves of the sea will ebb, and the wounds of the valleys will heal, but the life that has died will not be reborn.

Li Shen was folding his palms together, with a sincere expression, standing in the gazebo at the end of the road.He trotted over, holding the prepared oath book.

As for Li Shen, his performance was more positive, he strode forward and handed Ruan Xi the first white rose.

"Here's a rose for you!"

After giving the rose, Li Shen returned to his original position, revealing what he had been holding in his arms. It was a special flying helmet, silver-gray, with a silver-plated frame, and the emblem of the Northern Alliance was sprayed on the center. He pointed to the inside of the helmet, There are two letters "rx" scrawled in gold paint pens, "This is the Helmet of the Young Master!"

Ruan Xi glanced hastily, and was pushed forward by the tide-like crowd.

Just after receiving the last white rose, the next white rose was handed to her bosom again, this time by Bo Yang.

Bo Yang didn't say anything extra, but politely handed the white rose to Ruan Xishang, nodded, blinked his shimmering eyes, and quietly returned to his original position, leaning his upper body forward, maintaining a respectful attitude.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Xi followed Lu Zhenghe and continued to walk forward. Every soldier standing on both sides of the road to maintain order gave him a white rose.

Until they came to the gazebo, his boss had already held a large bouquet of flowers.

The last one was handed over by Wen Kai. This one is the most beautiful and plump in bloom, and it looks like it has been carefully selected.

Kai smiled, conjured it up like magic, and said softly: "When I first saw you, I didn't expect to like you so much. The Lord can have such a good partner like you. He is happy. Ruan Xi, happy wedding!"

"Thank you." Ruan Xi smiled and accepted Kai's flowers.

Although the sun was shining on the top of the mountain, it was a snow mountain after all. After a while, the humid air made the petals stained with water droplets.

Ruan Xi lowered her head and touched the petals with her fingertips, the veil swayed with her breath, which gave Lu Zhenghe the urge to lift the veil now.When Kai made this thing, he clearly said that he would cover his brows and eyes, why now...

The light blue forget-me-not was pushed aside, and most of the space in her arms was occupied by roses.

Ruan Xi moved the tip of her nose, took a little breath, and could smell the flower fragrance that he liked, but it was the same as the one on Lu Zhenghe.

Now, they need to meet Mr. Wei.

At this time, Li Shen was holding the "ghost crossbow", and together with Bo Yang, who was holding a micro-punch, came running from behind in an extremely vigilant mode.

They immediately showed a well-trained appearance, and quickly opened up another road among the crowd. At the end of the road was a giant car similar to MVP, surrounded by many fighters.

Kai moved towards Ruan Xi, and said in a low voice, "The 'Mr. Wei' I always talk about is inside. Be afraid, he is already dying of illness, he must have suffered retribution."

Ruan Xi was worried that someone nearby could hear her, so she mouthed to Wen Kai: "Retribution?"

Kai said angrily: "Back then, he abandoned his wife and son, and let the young master, mother and son live outside. As a result, the young master lost his biological mother even at a young age, and was taken so far away. ...No, I'm talking about the main point, it's because he was sick that the Lord had the opportunity to go to the south to pick you up, Wei Hongcai..."

Lu Zhenghe looked at the crowd that was gradually gathering around, adjusted the neckline of his dress, coughed, and reminded: "Hello."

Kai also coughed, and Ruan Xi also coughed for the third time, so Li Shen's eyes flickered over lightly, the meaning was obvious: I want to listen to what you are talking about!Kai stared back decisively: You listen to me.

Half an hour later, Ruan Xi came out wrapped in the fragrance of medicine.

Kai said yes, Mr. Wei was indeed dying of illness.

If you put aside the aura of the Patriarch of the Wei family on his body, he is indeed an old man in his dying years. He can see that there are several old military doctors next to him. No one has time to attend the wedding of the Lord. , Ruan Xi thought for a while, no wonder the other military doctors I met along the way were so young, it turns out that all the great ones are here.

Mr. Wei didn't say much to Ruan Xi, but tremblingly took the tea he offered.

To be honest, this tea Ruan Xi was originally respectable or not, and he even wanted to respect it at all, but after thinking about it, this old man also took care of Lu Zhenghe for four years, but Ruan Xi didn't kneel down, didn't call Dad, just handed the tea to him. In the past, look up again, and see the light from the top of the snow-capped mountain coming in from the car window.

Kai said that Mr. Wei's illness was half a year ago, and he guessed that at that time he never thought that he would fall back into such a field.

After getting out of the car, Lu Zhenghe gently hugged Ruan Xi.

Fortunately, the wind was strong on the top of the snow mountain, and the pungent medicinal fragrance was quickly blown away by the wind.

Well, now is the time for the official ceremony.

There was only a sound, and the balloon tied above his head burst, and countless golden debris fell from the sky.The crowd began to boil, and the golden color made the entire simple snow mountain venue brighter.

Ruan Xi stood face to face with Lu Zhenghe, and it was only at this time that he really felt nervous.

The crowd became noisy again, and the military band once again played chaotic music that sounded extremely lively. Bo Yang started to maintain order with a headache. When the sun was shining brightly, the light in his eyes seemed to work again.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ruan Xi was in a good mood, and asked Lu Zhenghe in a low voice, "Your father agrees with us?"

Lu Zhenghe replied: "It was also what he asked for at the beginning."

Ruan Xi shook the bouquet, and continued to ask: "Why are the flowers white roses?"

Lu Zhenghe raised his eyebrows: "White roses represent first love. I know it."

With a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, Ruan Xi dragged her voice and said, "Oh... when was the name on the helmet written?"

"On the first night back in Zenith City, I got my helmet in the camp. I smelled the forget-me-not flowers and remembered about you." Lu Zhenghe moved closer.

"Then..." Ruan Xi said.

"Hey, hey, hey, the two grooms keep their distance, what are you whispering now," Kai stretched out his arms to block the two people, creating a gap between them, and pretended to complain, "The flowers are going to be crushed, wait a while What are you throwing away?"

The crowd laughed.

Ruan Xi blushed from the laughter, and her ears became more transparent under Lu Zhenghe's gaze.

Lu Zhenghe's eyes gleamed under the snowy sun, his voice seduced him like magnetism, and his love grew like smoke.

At this moment, Ruan Xi suddenly felt that it was not important to be married or to be single. The most important thing in a person's life is to do things that make him feel happy and relaxed.

Therefore, Kai, as the master of ceremonies, began his complicated and solemn opening speech, making a transition between God and this extraordinary wedding.

Ruan Xi stood up straight, ensuring the most decent posture, he was thinking, when he was in school, he had to go all out in the military posture at the military training station.

He heard the sound of the camera clicking, breathed and the shutter speeded up together.

Kai first glanced at Lu Zhenghe, and said solemnly: "Mr. Lu Zhenghe, in front of all the witnesses who came here today, are you willing to be Mr. Ruan Xi's husband, from now until forever, no matter in good times or bad times, In health or in sickness, in joy or in sorrow, will you love him, cherish him, and be faithful to him forever?"

Lu Zhenghe replied with a steady tone: "I am willing."

There was a burst of cheers from the audience, which belonged to the young men in their 20s, and the hat was thrown into the air, and the golden badge on the hat was dazzled by the sunlight.The music of the marching band stopped, and everyone was waiting for the six words to come out of their mouths.

The wind on the top of the snow-capped mountain blew through the gazebo, and the bells hanging on the top rang.

The locals say that the louder the bells are at the wedding, the happier the marriage will be.Guo Ruan Xi doesn't believe this, happiness is controlled by herself.

Kai nodded, looked at the script nervously, and continued: "Mr. Ruan Xi, in front of all the witnesses who came here today, are you also willing to be the husband of Mr. Lu Zhenghe, from now until forever, whether it is In good times or bad, in health or sickness, in joy or sorrow, will you love him, cherish him, and be true to him forever?"

Ruan Xi is still thin-skinned, but at this time she mustered up the courage to express her love in front of everyone.

He raised his eyes, his eyes were shining, and his tone was brisk: "Yes."

Kai nodded in satisfaction, took a step back, clenched the notebook with his left hand, and made a show gesture with his right hand, and said loudly: "Exchange the rings!"

"Look, Captain Kai is so excited," a soldier bumped into Li Shen's shoulder, "It's like marrying him."

"That's right." Li Shen stood on tiptoe to watch, because everyone was on tiptoe, as if he was afraid that he might miss some details.

Lu Zhenghe took out the prepared ring from his inner pocket. There were two rings in the ring box, both of which were prepared by him.

The style is very simple, it is the most basic platinum ring, there is no pattern on it, only the initials of two people's names are engraved on the inside of the ring.The moment she saw the two rings, Ruan Xi was stunned, then froze instantly.

Before Lu Zhenghe disappeared, he also ran all over the silver jewelry store in Ablaze City, spent his spare time between school and school, hiding from Lu Zhenghe, and made these two rings with his own hands.

At that time, there was no shop in the city that could provide custom-made services for customers. It was only after he had seriously communicated with the boss for a long time that the other party agreed.

At that time, he was young, and the things he made were still very rough, and he and Lu Zhenghe didn't wear them for a long time, and their fingers were red, swollen and torn, and they were left unused after a long time.

In the end, Lu Zhenghe disappeared, and Ruan Xi searched for a long time before finding the single ring in the dusty cabinet at home, throwing it into the Suli Sea with all his might.

It is very difficult to engrave characters in the hot melt state, and Ruan Xi is still hot red, and the scar is still a little imprinted on his hand.After meeting, Lu Zhenghe asked, and Ruan Xi said that he practiced swordsmanship, but Lu Zhenghe didn't doubt it at all.

"Why are the eyes still red, so many people are watching..." Lu Zhenghe slightly blocked the direction of the crowd, pinched half of Ruan Xi's face, and rubbed him with his fingertips, "I should be happy today."

"it is good."

Ruan Xi sniffed and held back.Can cry but not cry.

In fact, he also wanted to cry, but he was a little emotional.An indescribable feeling stuck in the throat, a little uncomfortable.

He stretched out his hand, lowered his head, and watched Lu Zhenghe put on the ring for himself.Then he also cautiously, like holding some treasure, tilted his head slightly, squeezed Lu Zhenghe's, and then squeezed the ring, and put the small ring inside.

The wedding ring is such a magical object, it is like a witness of happiness, and it is also an invisible "band" that binds two people who have nothing to do with each other together.Ruan Xi raised her head, carefully looked at the shimmering little object on her middle finger, curved her lips, and smiled at Lu Zhenghe.

"The veil can be opened," Kai reminded.

Ruan Xi lifted the veil by herself, stretched out her hand to touch Lu Zhenghe's face, and rubbed it with the back of her hand.

Lu Zhenghe turned his head and stuck to him too.

The other fighters looked at each other, as if they were saying: My lord, why is this so!

Before Kai, the master of ceremonies, could say "the groom can kiss", Lu Zhenghe stepped forward and put his arm on Ruan Xi's waist.

So, amidst the prolonged and deafening cheers from the crowd, Ruan Xi put his arm around Lu Zhenghe's neck, and put it on his lips very solemnly.

At the moment when they kissed each other, Ruan Xi also saw some children subconsciously covering their eyes, but peeking through their fingers.He couldn't help laughing, but Lu Zhenghe thought it was because he was not paying attention when kissing, and he hugged him even harder.

The groom's messy arms were even worse, and even gently wrapped around his neck. The fabric of the cuffs rubbed against his fragile glands intentionally or unintentionally, making Ruan Xi itchy.Just take another bite.

The kiss was over, the wedding ceremony came to an end temporarily, and Ruan Xi needed to throw out the bouquet representing happiness in him.

Due to the avoidance of stampedes, this activity was only held internally, and the well-trained Northern Union fighters quickly surrounded the crowd with a human wall to form a small field.

After standing for a long time, Lu Zhenghe was a little tired.

He was half squatting on the ground, with a strong and broad back waist, afraid that the dress on his body would be wrinkled, so he barely erected his upper body, like a wall.He took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it between his fingers. Bo Yang subconsciously took out a lighter to give him a light. He shook the cigarette and avoided it, saying that he wanted to quit.

At this time, Li Shen started to boo again, saying that the young master is pretending to be coercive, since he has omega, he will quit smoking. Lu Zhenghe said that after a while, I think you have quit too.

Seeing that the soldiers were busy, Ruan Xi was holding his trouser legs, holding flowers, and was ready to go over, but was grabbed by Lu Zhenghe, "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Ruan Xi narrowed her eyes and said, "You still have to cook fried chicken for me."

Lu Zhenghe also said: "You haven't told me the story of Su Lihai yet."

"Not yet?" Ruan Xi smiled, as if thinking of many messy promises made along the way, "Then do we still have a chance to watch the aurora in Ice City?"

"Yes," Lu Zhenghe repeated, the top of his head was hot and hot from the sun, as if he was sure, "I believe there will be. There must be hope, right?"

"That's right, people always have to rely on a little hope and hope to live."

Ruan Xi said, "It seems that at the beginning, I hoped that you could remember me, but later I felt that it was enough for you to fall in love with me. Up to now, I found that the most important thing is to have a future, so I want to come to Snow Mountain Dian, I want to come to your north and stand on the highest mountain with you to watch the snow."

Lu Zhenghe's voice was very soft: "We're all done."

"When I was young, I was protected so well that I felt that everything was safe. Now I realize that there are too many accidents in life," Ruan Xi said seriously, "If there are no accidents, I will spend all my free time missing you."

"But if I'm by your side, do you miss me too?"

"Of course. When your lover is by your side, you should pay more attention to it wholeheartedly."

Lu Zhenghe felt that what Ruan Xi said now was inferior to the wedding vows: "Me too."

"I am very happy with you," Ruan Xi said, "Thank you for picking me up."

Lu Zhenghe was stunned for a moment, he held his palms together, and said, "Thank you also for willing to come with me."

Before arriving at the venue, Ruan Xi smiled, watching a group of unmarried warriors huddled together, looking up, waiting for the bouquet of flowers to land.

"Get ready to throw it away," Kai still didn't give up his MC duties, obviously, or maybe he didn't seem too interested in the bouquet of flowers, "Is Ruan Xi ready?"

"Ready!" Ruan Xi shouted.

Lu Zhenghe glanced at Li Shen, this man has already started to stride, completely posing for the airborne mission, his fighting spirit is high, and he knows with his ass that he must really want to get this bouquet of flowers.

"Three—two—one—" Kay raised his arms, raised his voice, and shouted, "Throw!"

A bridal bouquet of roses and forget-me-nots was thrown into the sky so forcefully that scattered petals fell from the sky.

After throwing up the bouquet, Ruan Xi turned her head in a hurry, her face was full of excitement and her eyes were full of smiles, she was no longer the cold and approachable person she was at the beginning.Lu Zhenghe stood aside with his back on his back, his eyes were all on him.

In this second, Lu Zhenghe's attention was also taken away by the bouquet.

The bouquet of flowers was supposed to fall into the hands of other soldiers, but the moment it was about to fall, it was snatched away by a figure that jumped out suddenly.

The soldiers booed loudly:

"Li Shen! It's Captain Li Shen!"

"Oh! Grab the flowers!"

Ruan Xi also made a trumpet shape with her hands, and began to boo: "Hello——"

Li Shen blushed, held the slightly broken bouquet to his chest, took a deep breath, looked at Ruan Xi, then at Lu Zhenghe.Both Ruan Xi and Lu Zhenghe nodded to him, the meaning was obvious, let's go!

So Li Shen took a big step to come...

In front of the master of ceremonies.

Just for a moment, louder booing broke out among the soldiers, knowing that the music of a military band had accidentally pressed the wrong key, and the saxophone was also blown out a sharp tone.

Ruan Xi snickered, pushed the annoying and eye-covering veil to the top of her head, and walked towards a place where there were few people.

He turned his head and saw that Kai was standing at the same spot with a blushing face at a loss, and Li Shen had already knelt on his knees with a plop, although he didn't know why he knelt on his knees...

Why do you have to kneel on the ground to confess!

Ruan Xi looked at Lu Zhenghe suspiciously, and Lu Zhenghe also shrugged.He looked over there again, after being corrected, Li Shen must have been too nervous, he had already patted his knee, and changed to kneeling on one knee.

Bo Yang stood far away, looking towards them as if nothing happened.

Ruan Xi walked towards the less crowded place again, intending to "watch the fire from the other side".Although the weather was fine, the wind from the snow-capped mountains made him a little cold, and the coolness covered his shoulders, which were already frozen.

While walking, Ruan Xi looked towards the place surrounded by soldiers. Kai had already taken the bouquet of flowers in a panic, shy as if he was usually confident.

Ruan Xi thought that from the usual relationship, Kai should also be a person with a little low self-esteem in his bones, so he has been afraid to accept and believe others' overtures.

Li Shen hugged Kai, while the latter was strangled and punched Li Shen repeatedly.

Li Shen also cried out in pain as usual, but just let him beat him, as if he had entered a bubbling state of ecstasy and happiness.

Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the ring on her hand again, and felt at ease again.

This kind of peace of mind is only given by the spouse, or given by oneself.It is a kind of stability and practicality, representing his good wishes for future life.

The snow water on the top of the mountain converges into rushing waves at the foot of the mountain, shining with strong light.

The glacial deposits appear to be melting and the tide is receding, but the chances of the land returning to normal are slim. Will the city of Zenith be the place where humans will eventually live?He also knows what God means.

But seeing such a high cliff and feeling the mountain wind blowing in the distance, Ruan Xi suddenly remembered the rainy day in Ablaze City half a year ago.

On that day, "bad news" came from afar, white pigeons flew across the sky, noisy crowds gathered downstairs, and the ears were filled with the sharp sound of vehicle horns——

He stood alone on the top of the roof and looked down. Looking back, there was no one else, only a lonely newspaper fluttering with the wind.

Suddenly at this moment, he really missed Song Shumian.

While in a daze, Lu Zhenghe's voice came from behind: "What are you thinking?"

Ruan Xi was startled, smiled, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't jump down."

Lu Zhenghe looked bewildered, but knowing why, he also smiled: "What?"

Ruan Xi raised an eyebrow at him: "It's nothing."

It's time to stop thinking about it.

What should be recalled is the process——

They blow the evening wind in the desert under the night sky, shuttle through the damp and dark dense forest, and stop for a distant place under the starry sky; they stand on the trembling earth, the salty sea breeze blows from the eternal sea, and the snake-shaped totem candle is flickering, As if mourning for the lost human beings.

When he was in Ablaze City, Ruan Xi was still saying "I will kill you" to Lu Zhenghe, followed by huge waves, when he arrived in Beast City, the fog rising from the forest passed through his neck, Ambiguous fled with them.

Then when he arrived at curse city, he found that Lu Zhenghe in the desert was cuter than the bullshit that the prophet said.

In dawn city, the darkness is rushing towards the light, Kai said that he could get another injection, Ruan Xi thought that the two of them teamed up to deceive him...

When they came to Earthquake City again and encountered a landslide and earthquake, they faced their first parting. Fire City didn't ask for it, Ruan Xi only hated why he didn't let Lu Zhenghe be a widow in the previous city.

Then there is Glacier City, gun battles, shipwrecks, like coral growing out of the sea, a group of rich soldiers turned into bare commanders, the cheeky young master even called his husband, when he registered in Holy City, The sentence "My first kiss was the day before yesterday" almost made Ruan Xi angry.

And the broken stone in Jewel City, Ruan Xijue is quite interesting, but I don’t know if the group of people who watched them fight are still alive, and whether they have come to witness their wedding...

Maze, nether, these weird places almost cost them their lives.

And the city of Ogre, which he will never forget.

He still remembers the rainbow in Rainbow City, the starry sky in Uranus City, the clouds and mist in Xanadu City, the fragrance of flowers in Yore City singing for the past, and time superimposed on the photos.

The further she walked, the more Ruan Xi felt small.

Just him, even the people on the whole land seem to be light in the face of the disaster.

No matter how much he walks alone, he has someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

On such a long-distance "journey"...

Ruan Xi is tentatively willing to call this turbulent escape a journey.

During such a journey, he saw the same people and things, and even different customs in different places, and these things made him deepen his awe of life and suddenly enlightened when facing the arrangement of fate.

He wants to fight for what is his, and he accepts what is his.

He and he have walked this long road, which is the meaning of this matter itself.

If possible, Ruan Xi prefers to call it a "journey".

If you want to add a prefix...

Ruan Xi looked at the people around him.

That must be the smell of roses.
