Chapter 945 Finale 5
Lu Yangyang hadn't seen Li Duan for almost a year.
When Li Duan left the capital for Yingzhou, she was quite different from when she returned from Yanjing. Now, a year later, she has changed even more.
When Li Duan returned from Yanjing, no matter how much she forced a smile in front of them, she couldn't shake off the melancholy that clung to her. Those three years in Yanjing, living on thin ice, were never something that could be easily forgotten with a smile. During the six months she studied under Wenren Jing, her spirits visibly improved, but at times, she still felt somewhat anxious and insecure.
But this time when she came back, her eyes and brows were relaxed and open, something that no amount of acting skill could fake or imitate.
It is clear that the past, that shadow, has finally been completely replaced by happiness.
She enthusiastically told Lu Yangyang and Sheng Yunjiao about their wedding in Yingzhou.
After the downfall of the Duke of Sheng, although the Duke of Sheng's mansion was not officially divided, it had long since fallen into disarray.
Sheng Junyao had already written to the head of the Sheng clan in advance. When he returned to the capital last year to report on his work, he invited the clan head to formally divide the Sheng family property.
After the Sheng family's assets were seized, they were left with little property. He added some more and divided it equally among his younger brothers and sisters. He also made proper arrangements for his father's concubines.
After dividing the family property, he left the capital for Yingzhou to take up his post.
He was a carefree bachelor, and the wedding was just a matter between him and Li Duan, skipping all the complicated procedures and simply following their own preferences.
Li Duan had experienced a marriage of convenience that she didn't want to face again, so she always felt a bit awkward about weddings.
When she arrived in Yingzhou, she encountered a merchant ship from overseas. She had already heard about Western wedding ceremonies from Wenren Jing, where the two exchanged vows under the witness of a pastor, which sounded exceptionally romantic.
She discussed it with Sheng Junyao, thinking he wouldn't agree. But behind her back, Sheng Junyao found an overseas businessman to customize a very gorgeous overseas wedding dress for her, with layers of skirts, a dreamy veil, and a crown studded with gemstones. When Li Duan first saw this wedding dress, she felt that she would definitely have a wedding she would never forget.
Because she already has the best person in the world.
Finally, their wedding took place in the newly built church in Yingzhou, where they exchanged vows and rings in the presence of a pastor and several local friends, completing the ceremony.
So when Li Duan returned to the capital this time, she didn't forget her good friends. She generously ordered a Western-style dress and a jeweled crown for each of them.
However, in order to tell them about that special experience on such a special day, she held back for several days after returning to Beijing and didn't take out the gift.
As a result, Lu Yangyang and Sheng Yunjiao caught her and tickled her for a good while.
The three of them laughed and joked on the tower, while the three big men behind them had to personally tie up all the Kongming lanterns and wait for them to finish playing before making their wishes.
Six years ago, Lu Yangyang hoped that she could become the best doctor and cure Zong Que's leg.
Now she hopes that, with her knowledge and skills, she can teach more and better doctors, just like her aunt and master taught her. She hopes that in the future, not only will there be many doctors, but also that all the people of Dazhao will have the opportunity and afford to see a doctor.
May Zong Que live a long and healthy life, year after year.
Six years ago, Li Duan wrote down a whole list of wishes. She hoped that her most beloved mother would always be so cute and beautiful, happy, live a long and healthy life, have her wishes fulfilled, and stay with her for a long, long time. When she got old and lost her teeth, she would laugh at her beautiful mother for losing her teeth.
She hoped that Brother Sheng could do what he loved, stay healthy forever, and never get hurt. She wished he could like her even a little bit, but even if he didn't, it wouldn't matter. She would still wish him to meet a woman who truly loved him, because he deserved the most beautiful love.
She hopes her friends will be happy, that they can always be her friends, that they can bravely pursue their dreams, that these carefree days can last a little longer, and that they can come here to make wishes again in the next three years.
Unfortunately, they were unable to make a wish three years ago.
But it doesn't matter, they can make many, many more wishes in the future.
She hopes that her mother, who may have already been reincarnated, can grow up with the person she loves, be childhood sweethearts, and grow old together, making up for the missed opportunities in this life.
Six years ago, Sheng Yunjiao hoped that she could find her ideal husband, have endless stories to read, that her parents would be healthy, and that she, Yangyang, Xiaoli, and Yan Xiaoyue could be best friends for life.
It seems the wish has indeed come true...
Just as Sheng Yunjiao was about to put down her pen, Yan Yue leaned over. Sheng Yunjiao turned her head sharply and asked, "Yan Xiaoyue, didn't you say you were going to seal the wolf's lair? Where are you now?"
Yan Yue's curiosity was instantly dashed. He touched his nose and said, "Then wouldn't I rather have peace in the world and no more wars?"
Sheng Yunjiao nodded: "That's right, write it like that."
Yan Yue: "..."
I feel like I've been tricked again.
Sheng Junyao, the only one who didn't participate in the event six years ago, turned to look at Zong Que, who was about to put down his pen: "What wish did you make back then? Don't tell me you were a beast who took a liking to my sister back then, when she was only thirteen!"
Zong Que paused as he put down his pen. "You're overthinking it."
Zong Que sighed inwardly. He wasn't really that much of a beast, after all, back then, he didn't even know if he would live to see three years later.
Fortunately, things that were both imaginable and unimaginable were realized for him.
Ten thousand Kongming lanterns soared into the night sky. At this moment, apart from Zong Que, no one else knew that they were indeed unable to keep their promise for the next three years.
