Silver Snow Line [Criminal Investigation]

The wedding date was set a week before Xie Qingfei's birthday, but two months ago Gu Mingxu couldn't wait to come to her with a plan to discuss the details.

Islands, castles, manors...various themes.
Before she began her grand introduction, Xie Qingfei had to remind her, "Mom, according to the rules, my wedding cannot be a big one."
Gu Mingxu had obviously forgotten about this. He was stunned for a few seconds, then took out a few plans that were at the bottom of the list: "What about this one? I think it's too simple and I don't even plan to consider it."
Xie Qingfei took a look and said, "I can't go abroad either."
Gu Mingxu sighed in disappointment and said anxiously, "But these are already very low-key, how much more can they be reduced? Are your rules so strict? Can't we do it secretly?"
Seeing her regretful expression, Xie Qingfei laughed and said, "It's just that the things in your plan are too luxurious. They're really unnecessary."
"I think it's necessary. When I got married, it was so popular that most of the state knew about it. I can still look through the old newspapers that reported it at that time."

Wei Cheng came over with a fruit plate and heard this: "Our leader doesn't care about such ostentation."
Gu Mingxu glared at him and took out all his anger on him: "Fei Fei really owed you a lot. Do you know what a wedding means to a girl? You owe her your whole life!"
Wei Cheng looked very innocent: "How can this be my fault?"
"It's all your fault anyway!" Gu Mingxu couldn't reason with him at the moment, and he was busy planning the wedding in accordance with the regulations.

Xie Qingfei fell on the sofa with laughter, and when Wei Cheng sat down, he leaned on his legs as a pillow.
"Not only did you not speak up for me, but you also laughed," Wei Cheng pinched her cheek, "Do you still have me as your husband in your eyes?"
Xie Qingfei: “Yes, yes, yes.”
"have what?"
"With you..." She scratched his chin and said softly, "Husband."

Wei Cheng leaned back on the chair with his head tilted back.

"What's wrong?" she asked curiously.
"Cool."
He digested the shout, but still wanted to say more: "Come on, shout again for me to hear."
Xie Qingfei glanced at his phone and said, "I went to work. I've been busy all day. Ouch."
"Playing tricks?" Wei Cheng stopped her between his legs, noticed the blush on her face, and immediately said meaningfully, "Oh, I said it wrong, you're just shy."
"You talk too much!" Xie Qingfei pushed his legs apart and ran away without looking back.

Finally, the wedding was decided to be held at a beach resort that had not yet been opened to the public. After they said there was no need to make a big deal about it, there was no need to invite the remaining dozens of tables of guests. After discussion, the two families decided to invite their closest friends to witness it.

Xie Qingfei and Wei Cheng were arranged in different rooms. She couldn't fall asleep the night before the wedding. She tried to close her eyes for half an hour, then got up, turned on the light, and sat in front of the window to watch the sea at night.
As a result, she became more and more energetic as she sat there, and she still didn't feel sleepy even after the hour hand had turned twice.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Another person who also couldn't sleep late at night appeared at the door.

"Do you want to watch the sunrise?" Wei Cheng was not surprised that she was still awake, and invited her with a smile.
Xie Qingfei took a silk scarf and put it on: "Okay."

There is actually a faint glow on the horizon, like a thin line covered with silver mist, illuminating the waves of the sea.
Xie Qingfei was wearing a silver-white halter dress and walking barefoot on the beach. The sea breeze blew up her long hair. Wei Cheng was two steps behind her, quietly looking at her back.

"Why didn't you sleep?" She turned around and walked backwards, asking knowingly, "Are you nervous about the wedding that will take place at dawn?"
Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you nervous?"

On the day of getting the marriage certificate, she was busy catching a flight for a business trip, and he was also in a hurry to attend a meeting, but they insisted on picking that day to get the job done. The two of them finally agreed on the time, and they didn't have time to prepare for any experience. Later, when she had some free time, she asked him why he had to go on that day, even though she didn't find anything unusual about the date after looking at it.
He said: “That was the day we met again.”
He didn't believe in something as mysterious as fate until he experienced it himself, so he was certain that his reunion with her was God's hint to him: the two of them had a future.

Now that the wedding is about to begin, there is no busy work, and even no outsiders to disturb them. Their free time is filled with tension.
Xie Qingfei smiled and admitted generously: "Yes, a little. Rituals are sacred things. If they say they will last forever, then they really will last forever. It makes me feel...very solemn."
Wei Cheng walked up to her and gently lifted her hair: "That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
He said seriously: "You will be my wife in the next life."
Xie Qingfei couldn't help laughing: "You have taken all the good things."
Wei Cheng pretended to be surprised: "It's true, it seems that I have a good life."

He led her to sit on the bench. Dawn came quickly. After the silver mist dispersed, golden light began to burst out. The sound of the waves in his ears was like a low cello music. "Actually, I also had a dream that night, but I dreamed about us ten years later." Wei Cheng said.
Xie Qingfei raised his head in his arms: "What will we be doing ten years later?"

Ten years is not a very long time, at least he felt that being with her for only ten years was not enough. It snowed that night, and he walked with her on the street with an umbrella. When she looked up and talked to him, he saw the tiny wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"Professor Wei," she said, "you seem like a reliable expert now."
He pretended to be angry: "You think I'm too old again."
She was helpless: "You really hold a grudge."
"I will never forget what you said." He handed her the umbrella handle and bought a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts on the street. As usual, she opened her mouth after he finished peeling the first chestnut and took a bite of the sweetness.
"What if I didn't plan on giving you the first one?"
"I haven't thought about it." She shook her head honestly, "You are just too cruel."

He smiled, wiped the corners of her lips with his fingertips, and then bent down to kiss her.
Under the rustling snow, a few snowflakes also stained her eyelashes, and when she opened her eyes, she looked like a silver butterfly fluttering its wings.
"Wei Cheng."
"Ok?"
"You have wrinkles." She touched the corner of his eye in surprise.
"Will you still love me even if I have wrinkles?"
"Love," she said, "because of your wrinkles."

He suddenly sighed in disappointment and held her face in his hands.

"Why are you sighing?"
"Time flies by so fast, but I still want to be with you for a long, long time."
"Then we will stay together forever until we are too tired to go out and watch the snow again."
"I don't want to see the snow anymore. What's next?"
"After that, of course, we agreed on where to meet in the next life so that we could meet again sooner rather than later."

Wei Cheng said: "You see, you were quite superstitious in my dream."
"Occasional superstition is called good expectations, what's wrong with that?" Xie Qingfei intertwined his fingers with his, squinting his eyes to let the sea breeze blow away the heat, "Because when you are with the one you love, you will look forward to the next life."

Wei Cheng pinched her fingertips, buried his head in her neck, and said in a muffled voice: "What you said makes me want to cry."
Xie Qingfei became excited again: "Let me see, let me see!"
She had just wanted to tease him, so she turned his face over, only to find that his eyes were actually filled with tears.

The desire to tease was gone, and she leaned forward and kissed his eyes: "Don't be sad."
Wei Cheng corrected: "It's happiness."
Xie Qingfei said helplessly: "If you say yes, then yes. Sometimes I can let you have the final say."
"Is it okay for us to go back to the bridal chamber now?"
"this is not OK."
"Sure enough, those words just now were just to coax me."
"You were the one who first dragged me out to watch the sunrise. I call this seeing things through to the end, okay?"
Wei Cheng was about to speak when he suddenly saw the red sun breaking through the sea level. The dazzling gold floated above the rolling tide and was pushed towards the shore by the waves.

"The sunrise is really beautiful," Xie Qingfei said softly, "and you are by my side too."
Wei Cheng saw her face illuminated by the golden light, and lowered his head to place a kiss on her hair.

Xie Qingfei was a little moved and gave her a loving hug in return.
Then I heard him say, "Now that we're done, can we go back to the bridal chamber?"
Not romantic at all!
She punched him in anger, and the complaint she was about to make turned into an exclamation.
Wei Cheng picked her up and carried her sideways, then walked back with his back to the morning glow.

A gust of sea breeze chased after her, only to catch a thin silk scarf with gold edges.
