    Asianovel

    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Shu Li remembers that Li Lian told her on WeChat that this is a private church, and she has connections to allow the owner of the church to open it up for them to hold a wedding.

    At that time, Shu Li felt that holding a wedding in Germany was too troublesome, and the time and energy it would take was unimaginable.

    Although she liked it very much, but due to reality, she finally gave up this plan.

    Now, Zhao Jingchuan quietly brought her here.

    Even if it's just "it's a church she likes" that she casually mentioned to his mother.

    He really remembers her thoughts and fulfills her every wish as much as possible.

    Shu Li stood facing the church for a long time, his eyes were so moved that his eyes became hot: "Is this the place you want me to go with you?"

    Zhao Jingchuan asked her, "Do you have any impression?"

    Shu Li nodded, "Yes, did Mom tell you?"

    "Um."

    This private church is surrounded by a circle of iron fences, with a European-style wrought iron gate in the middle, and a notice board hung on the wall on one side of the gate.

    It says: It is only open to the public on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for tourists to watch.

    Unfortunately, today is Wednesday, the day when the church is closed to the public.

    There are no tourists inside, and the two gates are closed. Standing outside the iron gate, you can't see the inside of the church at all, which highlights its mystery.

    Zhao Jingchuan led her closer, and stood there waiting for a while.

    A tall and thin man in a black knight uniform came out from the small courtyard inside. His eyes were blue. When he saw that they were Asians, he thought they were tourists who came to watch the church because of their reputation. He told them in English: “We are closed today.”Open, please come back tomorrow.

    Zhao Jingchuan ignored his overly polite reminder and replied him in fluent German. They were the people specially invited by the owner of the church to visit the church.

    The German in the knight uniform seemed to know about this, and changed his tone of voice. He didn't open the door for them immediately, but wanted to ask for confirmation first.

    Zhao Jingchuan can understand, after all, this is his job.

    He unhurriedly took out his mobile phone, found a number in the address book that said Enoch, and dialed it.

    After the call was connected, he turned on the speakerphone and chatted with the person on the opposite side. The person in the knight uniform responded, and soon opened the door for them with a smile.

    Walk into the iron gate, and then walk a few steps forward, and come to the main gate of the church.

    The man in the knight uniform opened the door for them, politely made a "please" gesture, and let them in.

    The moment the door opened, Shu Li was taken aback by the beauty of the scenery inside.

    The church is well preserved, and every decoration is extremely clean and impeccable, as if it is so exquisite that it is far away from all the filth and filth of the world.

    It's like walking into another world, giving people a beautiful and quiet feeling.

    Shu Li watched every place carefully, whether it was the red, green and yellow stained glass, or the murals with strong religious connotations, she was amazed by them.

    Gradually, he did not dare to speak loudly, and took every step with deep awe.

    Zhao Jingchuan didn't bother her, and slowly accompanied her from the door to the front altar.

    It was quiet all the way, and there was no one else except them.

    The German who opened the door for them pushed the door open, closed the door halfway, turned and left.

    There was soft music in the church, and the lights gradually came on.

    There is still a short distance to the altar.

    Shu Li looked away, breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that she was being held by Zhao Jingchuan on the way here.

    As if simulating the scene of getting married, the two walked side by side from the door.

    Thinking of this, her face burned a little.

    In order to alleviate the embarrassment, she asked Zhao Jingchuan in a low voice, "Did you want to bring me here, or did Mom tell me that I like it here, so you brought me here?"

    Zhao Jingchuan answered this question without thinking too much, "I wanted to bring you here."

    "Oh." Shu Li was a little disappointed, "I am narcissistic."

    "No." He immediately continued the unfinished sentence, "You like it too, so we got together."

    Shu Li felt that he was just comforting her, "Really?"

    "Really." Zhao Jingchuan was afraid that she would not believe it, so he took out his mobile phone to show her the evidence, "Do you want to show you the chat records between me and my mother?"

    Shu Li pressed the hand in the pocket that he was about to put in, believed his words, and felt that he didn't need to lie to her: "No need, I believe you."

    Her unconditional trust made Zhao Jingchuan feel guilty.

    He touched his nose, locked his eyes on her clear eyebrows, and smiled lightly.

    In fact, just now, was really afraid that she would really read the chat records. If did, wouldn't all the little tricks he and Li Lian used to trick her be overwhelmed?

    Now, it is obvious that the deception has succeeded.

    Zhao Jingchuan was not very happy, always worried that she was so easy to deceive, and what would happen if she was deceived by others in the future.

    Shu Li didn't know what he was thinking at all, his mind was filled with endless emotions.

    What she lacked the most since she was a child is praise and gratitude, and because of this, when she grew up, she always expressed her feelings to the people she liked. Looking at Zhao Jingchuan, she said: "This place is really beautiful, much better than the photos. ThisThis is the first time I have come to such a beautiful church, thank you for bringing me here."

    Zhao Jingchuan hugged her in front of him, stared down at her beautiful almond eyes, and said in a low voice, "You're welcome, making you happy is something more satisfying to me than making myself happy."

    Hearing this, Shu Li was silent for a few minutes, and then asked him, "By the way, didn't you say you have something to say to me? What is it?"

    "Maybe we have to wait a while." Zhao Jingchuan raised his hand, touched the bridge of his nose, and chuckled lightly, as if he was holding back.

    Seeing his finger running across the small mole on the bridge of the nose, Shu Li knew it was his subconscious reaction when he was nervous.She blinked, and to make him relax, she asked understandingly, "Are you going to get ready?"

    Zhao Jingchuan felt a little funny when he heard her words, and looked towards the small door on the side of the altar, as if he was waiting for something, and said in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

    "What do you think?" Shu Li pursed her lips, "Is it so hard to say? Keep it secret, or—"

    Shu Li had already guessed what he was going to say to her.

    Combined with what he said in the coffee shop, and when she accidentally discovered a small square box in his pocket that had slipped into her when she was hugging him, she guessed that he probably wanted to propose to her.

    Because he said, everything will replenish her.

    Zhao Jingchuan will not lie to her, he will definitely do what he promised.

    Shu Li was about to say, how about I turn around and wait for you for a while.

    Suddenly, out of nowhere, a priest in white clothes and glasses came out, with a kind smile, and broke into the two-person world that originally belonged only to them.

    Standing on the altar, he looked like an elder who was generous in helping others. He looked at Shu Li and Zhao Jingchuan, greeted them friendly, and asked in English, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

    He spoke English, and Shu Li could understand it, as if there was nothing he needed to help, he hesitated whether to make a sound to tell him to leave.

    Zhao Jingchuan asked him one thing.

    What he asked was to preside over a simple wedding ceremony for them, one with no guests and no complicated ceremonies.

    Shu Li was slightly startled, not understanding what his intention was, "Why?"

    He said lightly, "A rehearsal in advance."

    so suddenly!?

    I'm afraid she won't like it, and I'm worried that she has the obsession that "a girl can only have one wedding in her life", even if it's a formal rehearsal.

    Before starting, Zhao Jingchuan asked rigorously, "You don't want to?"

    "No." Shu Li didn't think about it, but felt a little sudden, and she didn't make any preparations, "It's ok, then come."

    With her permission, Zhao Jingchuan gave the pastor a look.

    Since Shu Li couldn't understand German, the pastor chose to guide them in English and told them the process carefully...

    The first step is the entry of newcomers.

    He had to go back to the door first, and the two walked over arm in arm step by step.

    Shu Li obeyed obediently.

    In front of the pastor, he walked slowly towards the altar with Zhao Jingchuan on his arm.

    After walking to the altar, the wedding call and prayers began.

    The pastor told them that the purpose is for God to bless this marriage and make them happy and happy after marriage.

    Then, the family and marriage candles are lit, the next two of the three front candles.

    The faint light brought by the sparks from the candles reflected on their faces, Shu Li glanced at Zhao Jingchuan, thinking of what they were doing, he always felt a little unreal.

    The pastor smiled at them, and while they lit, he also recited a scripture for them, offered them a simple prayer, and said some words of encouragement as an elder.

    After a while, the previous basic process is over.

    Then finally came the highlight of the wedding, and one of the most critical processes: making marriage commitments to each other.

    However, Zhao Jingchuan kept this process and chose to jump straight down.

    Shu Li knew why he wanted to keep it, and guessed that he wanted to keep it for the real wedding.

    The pastor nodded knowingly, and said to them, "Next, the two of you should read out your wedding vows to each other."

    Zhao Jingchuan asked Shu Li to speak first, but she was unprepared and didn't know what to say.

    The pastor said that a brief description is enough, it is just a rehearsal, and there is no need to go into too much detail.

    Shu Li lowered his head and thought for a while, looking into Zhao Jingchuan's eyes as he organized his words, and said slowly: "I don't know what to say that is beautiful and touching. Let me write essays, but I may not speak very well.Nice to hear."

    She told him in Chinese that the pastor didn't understand at all, and she didn't care, as long as Zhao Jingchuan could understand.

    He nodded, caressingly said: "It's okay, you can say anything."

    Let her go on.

    Shu Li paused for a few seconds, and for a moment she didn't take this as a vow, and didn't use many polite words, but just said something she wanted to say to him: "But in my heart, I always feel that it is me who met you.The happiest and most satisfying thing in my life. You were exceptional in high school, and your grades were always ahead of me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t catch up with you.”

    "At that time, I envied you very much, to be honest, I really envied you." She said from the bottom of her heart, "I envy you being liked by so many people, envy you can easily do things that others can't do, I envy you the self-confidence you were born with, in short, I envy you..."

    Zhao Jingchuan's expression paused slightly. Xu heard her say such words for the first time, and he couldn't imagine how she came here alone in the past.

    Compared with his reaction after hearing this, Shu Li pursed his lips and said with relief, "However, I am not envious now. Because this excellent man is mine now, and he has become my husband. He said he likes me, and there is something in his eyes.It’s just me, who will make me happy, worry about my safety, and do all kinds of things for me. Zhao Jingchuan, I’m really happy to be with you. I feel that every day passes quickly, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, as if I didn't do anything, time just ran away like this. I really want it to go slower, so that we can spend more time together?"

    Zhao Jingchuan, who just asked her to talk casually, did not expect her to talk so much.

    He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Don't say that, I didn't like you before because I was blind."

    "What are you talking about?" Shu Li raised his hand to his lips, telling him to shut up, "Although I don't know if there will be any accidents in the future, but now I feel that I have nothing else to ask for."

    After finishing speaking, she couldn't help wrapping her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed him, closed her eyes, and whispered, "I love you, Zhao Jingchuan."

    It's no longer liking, it's love.

    Zhao Jingchuan didn't respond to her, just glanced at her, and asked in a low voice, "Is it finished?"

    "It's over." After finishing everything, Shu Li realized that the roots of his ears were burning, and his cheeks gradually became hot.

    In order not to disturb them, the pastor had quietly left the scene a few minutes earlier.

    In the entire church, only the two of them remained.

    Expectation flashed in Shu Li's eyes, and he said straightforwardly, "It's your turn."

    He said unhurriedly, "Well, wait for me to get something."

    "take things?"

    "soon."

    Shu Li thought to himself, is he being too obvious?

    Do you really think you can't guess anything and treat her as a fool?

    Time seemed to stop for an instant.

    There was a few seconds of silence.

    Zhao Jingchuan reached into his pocket, Shu Li thought he was looking for a ring, his heart was pounding, he was ready, but he actually took out a piece of paper.

    "...What is this?" She almost fainted, and asked speechlessly, "You still brought the draft? Did you prepare it in advance and plan to read it directly in front of me?"

    What the hell!

    No sincerity at all!!

    Zhao Jingchuan pinched a piece of blue letter paper in embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a draft. Look at my paper, how does it look like a draft?"

    Shu Li felt a little familiar, but she didn't connect the thing she thought of: "Then what do you want to do? What is this?"

    Zhao Jingchuan felt very embarrassed. Looking at her, his eyelids moved, and he opened his mouth a few times before saying those two words: "This is..."

    "..."

    "love letter!"

    Shu Li was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Did you write it?"

    "Of course." Zhao Jingchuan found that he was not embarrassed after saying it, mainly because Shu Li's expression made him feel that this was not a very ridiculous thing, "I must have written it. This is the first time I wrote a love letter in my life.", just for you, understand?"

    Shu Li laughed happily, her eyes were sparkling, no matter she was in her teens or twenties, she would still be very excited when she saw fancy things and love letters.

    I can't wait to see what's inside, I want to grab it and take a quick look: "Show me, don't you want to give it to me?"

    "Wait a minute." He held up the letter to prevent her from taking it, and asked her a few questions first, "Don't you think this looks familiar?"

    "Ah?" Shu Li didn't understand, she did feel a little familiar, but Zhao Jingchuan couldn't possibly know that she had written a letter to him, "I don't think so, when did you write it, why didn't I notice it at all?"

    He said truthfully, "When you went home to live in the past few days, I was the only one who wrote at night when I was at home."

    Shu Li, "No wonder..."

    Zhao Jingchuan asked again, "Have you ever written a love letter?"

    Shu Li replied calmly: "No."

    She didn't think that what she had written was a love letter.

    In her opinion, a love letter has two meanings: a confession and a request to be a boyfriend/girlfriend.

    The letter written by Shu Li back then did not have any second meaning.

    Besides, she didn't hand it out, so what kind of love letter is that?

    Zhao Jingchuan patted her on the head with the letter paper, looking a little angry, but more indulgent, "Liar."

    Shu Li touched the top of his head and asked in a low voice, "Can't you read it yet?"

    "Here you are." Zhao Jingchuan handed the letter to her, but said before letting her take it completely, "Do you know why I wrote the letter?"

    Shu Li got it in his hand, curiously spread out the folded letter paper, looked down, and asked, "Why?"

    While she was reading the letter, Zhao Jingchuan looked down at the top of her round head, with a faint smile, and said word by word, "Because there is a coward who has been refusing to tell me how much she once liked me.", then I have no choice but to write back."

    ...

    After Zhao Jingchuan became a doctor, his handwriting was very sloppy.

    When he was working at home, Shu Li peeked at his notes, completely unable to understand what he was writing.

    Now, he wrote a love letter seriously and handed it to her stroke by stroke, she was quite surprised.

    It first wrote why fell in love with her, and then a lot of words were praising her, praising her for her beauty, praising her for her good figure, praising her for her gentle personality...

    If it weren't for the fear that too many pages would take up space, Shu Li guessed that he would have to praise her whole body before giving up.

    Being praised by someone she likes, she laughed out loud, feeling very happy, and then looked at the last few paragraphs.

    "There was a person who wished me a bright life, and there was a person who watched my back ten years ago. If time could be turned back, I would rather our roles were reversed.

    I am ashamed to say that the first love letter confession was to my wife, not when I asked her to be my girlfriend.The writing is not good, but no matter how good the writing is, it can't express how much I like her...

    Can anyone tell me how to go back ten years ago and tell sixteen-year-old Shu Li to let her study hard, live seriously, and stop thinking wildly.

    Ten years later, her husband will be waiting for her in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and will love and accompany her every year in the future.

    It would be best if you could tell her in her ear and let her remember.

    Now Zhao Jingchuan really loves her very much."

    Shu Li was moved to tears by the last few words.

    Buried her head in his arms, sobbing instinctively with a slight sob, she asked him after a long time, "You know everything?"

    "Yeah." Zhao Jingchuan stroked her back and said in a calm voice, "I knew it a long time ago."

    "I'm sorry." Shu Li raised his head and looked at him with slightly open eyes, "I lied to you."

    "What is there to apologize for?" Zhao Jingchuan looked at her distressedly, reached out and gently wiped away the tears under her eyes, "Do you still remember what I told you the night after watching the movie?"

    Shu Li nodded, "I remember."

    "So, I should be the one to say I'm sorry." Zhao Jingchuan's eyes were filled with endless tenderness, he scratched the tip of her nose with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "I've been late for so many years and kept you waiting."

    Shu Li shook his head, disagreeing with his statement, "It's not too long to wait."

    After a while, she added softly, "I'm willing to wait as long as I want."

    The gentle voice echoed in the church, bringing echoes, light poured in from the windows, and a faint wind blew.

    Zhao Jingchuan stopped arguing with her: "Okay, I just know that you won't be able to escape in the next few decades."

    "Who wants to run away?" Shu Li curled his lips, seeing that there was no one in the church, he hooked his neck and wanted to kiss him.

    Zhao Jingchuan turned his face to the side to prevent her from kissing, and said lazily, "Wait."

    Shu Li was stunned, "What's wrong?"

    "Don't worry, I still have something to do."

    Thinking of something, Shu Li said, "Then you do it."

    Seeing her expression, Zhao Jingchuan felt a little bored, and said with a scolding tone, "I know you guessed it, but you can give me some reaction, okay?"

    Shu Li couldn't help laughing, and responded seriously, "I'll give you a response."

    Zhao Jingchuan put his hands in his pockets and stood in front of her.

    After pondering for a while, he really got down on one knee, took out the ring he had prepared, and said with a low smile, "You said we've been in love for a few months, shouldn't it be time to get married?"

    Hearing him say these words in a serious manner, Shu Li wanted to laugh a little, and cooperated with him by saying, "You got married in just a few months?"

    "Otherwise?" Zhao Jingchuan said in a humble tone, "I'll be twenty-eight in a few months, and I'm going to be three, so it's time to get married."

    "Really?" Shu Li lowered his eyes, thought for two seconds, and said softly, "That is indeed of marriageable age."

    "Really?" Zhao Jingchuan coaxed her, "I've already thought about the date of the wedding. We'll hold the wedding on your birthday. What do you think?"

    "When is my birthday?" Shu Li's birthday is in March, March 28th, and there are not many days left.

    Not knowing if he was joking or serious, she asked hesitantly, "Are you telling the truth?"

    "Really, I'm not lying to you." Zhao Jingchuan said again, "The wedding date is March 28th, are you coming, Mrs. Zhao?"

    Thinking that the thing she was looking forward to the most was coming soon, Shu Li happily squatted down and hugged him, and at the same time answered his words, "I'll come."

    Like a kitten plopped into his arms.

    "Be reserved." Zhao Jingchuan hugged her in front of him, put the ring on her ring finger with difficulty, and asked her to finish what she just wanted to kiss him.

    He asked softly, "I'm leaving Germany tomorrow, do you have any wishes to fulfill?"

    Shu Li thought for a while, "No."

    Zhao Jingchuan spoke slowly, "Really?"

    Shu Li shook his head clearly, telling him that he really didn't.

    "..."

    "Because," she hooked her lips and said to him, "except for the wedding, all my wishes have come true."

    The author has something to say:

    It's almost over, there are about 30,000 words left, maybe less?

    Parallel fan should be able to write, my idea is: Zhao Jingchuan in high school had a dream about what happened between him and Shu Li (equivalent to a dream of predicting the future), and then paid attention to Shuli, what do you think??(Not necessarily written like this, just have this preliminary intention)
