My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 175 Dream Wedding

Throughout the entire day of class, Zhou Heming seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Often, when I look out the window, my thoughts drift to Cheng Shuangjiang or Lu Qian.

No, Zhou Heming, you need to straighten up and study hard.

Zhou Heming reminded himself and looked towards the podium.

This is an English class. As students of Ningjiang University, Zhou Heming will face the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4) exam in his first year. Under Cheng Shuangjiang's guidance, Zhou Heming's English has improved a lot, but he is still a little uneasy about the CET-4.

Years later, when Zhou Heming looks back on his worries at this time, he may think he made a mountain out of a molehill. But at least at this age, all he needs to worry about is the upcoming exams and grades.

At noon, he first met with Lu Qian, then waited for Cheng Shuangjiang at the entrance of the second canteen, and had lunch with Su Hong and others.

All three of them had classes in the first period of the afternoon. Su Hong and the others went back to their dorm for a lunch break, while Zhou Heming and the others found it too troublesome to go back and went directly to the classroom where they would have their afternoon classes.

University classrooms can be used as study rooms when there are no classes. There were three or four students studying in the classroom. When Zhou Heming and his group came in, these focused students didn't even look up at them.

The three of them found a seat near the window and sat down.

The classrooms on the third floor offer views of the square. During lunch break, there are few students around, and the entire square is covered with fallen leaves, making it appear desolate and bleak.

"I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when class starts."

Lu Qian yawned and used her backpack and arm as a cushion to prepare for a short nap.

All three of them had their afternoon classes in this building. Zhou Heming glanced at Cheng Shuangjiang next to him.

She looked a little sleepy, with a book open in front of her, her head nodding slightly.

"Why don't you take a nap too?"

Normally, she would only take a short nap around noon on the day of Frost's Descent, but the three of them went to bed a little late last night, so she seemed extremely tired today.

In addition, after lunch, the blood goes to the stomach to digest, so naturally, drowsiness arises.

"Um"

Cheng Shuangjiang blinked hard, but still didn't move.

Zhou Heming put his arm around her shoulder and let the girl lean on his arm.

"Lean on my arm and sleep for a while, then I'll wake you up."

"Um"

Cheng Shuangjiang looked really sleepy, resting her head on Zhou Heming's arm, and soon only her even breathing could be heard.

At this moment, the clouds drifted away, and the warm autumn sun shone through the window, falling on the table and Lu Qian's hair. In her sleep, she pursed her lips and turned her head to face another direction.

Cheng Shuangjiang nestled against Zhou Heming, the bright sunlight making her hair shine as if it were tinged with a hazy halo.

Because the sunlight was so strong, Zhou Heming simply put down his book, put down his phone, and looked out the window, enjoying a moment of peace.

In the past, Zhou Heming would often fall into a state of faint anxiety, as if he would waste his time if he did nothing.

Not only when studying and working, but even when he has free time, he feels that he must do something.

While not as demanding of returns as some people online, making time more "meaningful" seems to have become a habit for Zhou Heming.

But now.

As he sat there, surrounded by two young women he loved, Zhou Heming felt that even if he were just wasting time here, watching the birds on the power lines go from two to three, he wouldn't feel anxious or feel like he was wasting his time.

Just like when I was a child.

When I returned to my grandmother's house, I sat on a stone at the entrance of the village and looked at the mountains, the fields, and the clouds.

Being with them, even just sitting there, gives me a sense of security.

Neither of the girls slept for very long; lying face down was still uncomfortable.

After waking up, they checked their phones for a while, and then left together just before class started.

As soon as the two reached the door, they saw Yang Hongye and Gu Yingying carrying their schoolbags and preparing to enter the classroom.

"Wow, good afternoon, Momiji and Sakura~"

Lu Qian immediately greeted her with a smile.

Because calling Gu Yingying "Yingying" directly sounds a bit too whiny, she calls her Aying.

"Good afternoon. Are you here to keep Zhou Heming company?"

Yang Hongye responded with a sentence, then looked at Cheng Shuangjiang.

Happy birthday, Cheng Shuangjiang.

Happy birthday, Frost's Descent!

Gu Yingying also offered her blessings.

"Thank you~"

Cheng Shuangjiang replied with a smile.

"Let's head to the classroom now, see you on the weekend."

They're going to watch the edited short film together this weekend, so they'll have another chance to meet this week.

Yang Hongye and Gu Yingying waved goodbye to them, walked into the classroom, and sat in the row in front of Zhou Heming.

"You're so lucky to have two such beautiful girls willing to be with you."

Yang Hongye made a joke.

"Exactly! If I were a guy, I'd be so happy to have Lu Bai, how could I have Cheng Shuangjiang, who eats and takes everything!"

After spending time together, Gu Yingying has become bolder. At least when talking to Zhou Heming and the others, she no longer feels restrained and even occasionally shows a bit of a mischievous side.

"Uh, hahahaha."

Zhou Heming chuckled to himself, realizing he had no choice but to try and get away with it.

Su Hong and the others also entered the classroom at this time. When they saw Zhou Heming, they greeted him and came over.

Gathering his thoughts, Zhou Heming prepared for his morning and afternoon classes.

*
After class ended, Zhou Heming waved goodbye to his classmates and sent a message to Cheng Shuangjiang on his phone. The two agreed to meet downstairs in the teaching building.

Lu Qian has classes and can only go home after school.

Holding hands, the two walked out of the school along the sycamore-lined path where golden leaves had already begun to fall.

They got a shopping cart at the supermarket, and the two of them walked between the shelves together like a young couple living in the area.

"Canned food, buy two cans and get a discount."

When Cheng Shuangjiang walked to the canned food section, she saw that the black bean dace was on sale, so she picked up two cans.

"What else would you like to eat besides this?"

Zhou Heming glanced at the fresh food section.

"Potato and pork ribs? Asahi really likes this."

Cheng Shuangjiang thought of the dishes that Lu Qian liked to eat.

"A-Qian already ate lunch, how about we order something else?"

As Zhou Heming passed by the vegetable section, he immediately spotted fresh lotus roots.

Although it's not lotus root season yet, and the lotus roots from Ningjiang aren't as delicious as those from Jiangcheng, a bowl of hot lotus root and pork rib soup is still very comforting after the weather turns cold.

"Then, I'd like to drink the lotus root and pork rib soup that Ah He makes."

Noticing Zhou Heming's gaze, Cheng Shuangjiang picked up two lotus roots and asked the shop assistant to weigh and wrap them for her.

The two then ordered pork ribs, an ear of corn, and a bunch of romaine lettuce.

We walked to the seafood section.

"There are lobsters."

Zhou Heming saw Boston lobsters waving their large pincers in the tank.

"This is a bit too extravagant, and we already have enough meat and vegetables today."

Cheng Shuangjiang tugged at Zhou Heming.

"It's your birthday, so it's okay to eat something nice."

The last time they ate lobster was the day Zhou Heming's entrance exam results came out. The two high school students went to the supermarket and bought a discounted lobster that had just died.

"Then we'll buy one and make it around New Year's Day."

Cheng Shuangjiang's meticulous planning has added to her anticipation for New Year's Day.

"Okay."

Zhou Heming agreed and abandoned the idea of ​​buying expensive seafood.

"How about buying some regular shrimp? They're on sale right now."

He looked at the other tank; the regular prawns were running low as it was nearing afternoon, so they were being sold off at a 95% discount.

"Yes, buying these shrimp is perfect for making a dipping sauce to eat with the ribs."

Cheng Shuangjiang approached the supermarket clerk.

"Hello, could you please weigh some shrimp for us?"

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a touch of coquettishness, which immediately caught the attention of the shop assistant.

"Okay, no problem. I'll pick out some that are lively and energetic for you. Drain the water and you can weigh more."

Being good-looking and eloquent gives you an advantage everywhere.

"Hehe, only twenty-five yuan, that's a lot."

Holding a bag of prawns, Cheng Shuangjiang jogged back to her shopping cart.

"Lu Qian, thank you so much for the lavish meal tonight."

Zhou Heming took the shrimp and put it in the shopping cart.

"Then I must thank you, Ah He, for making so many delicious things."

As Cheng Shuangjiang spoke, the two of them arrived at the baking area.

"Even though we ate one cake tonight, shouldn't we have another one?"

Zhou Heming looked at the cakes with a slightly refreshing flavor and asked.

"One birthday cake is enough, and it was made by Ahe himself, so it has special meaning."

As Cheng Shuangjiang spoke, she picked up another small box of desserts.

“However, it would be nice to buy some desserts for A-Qian after dinner.” Zhou Heming nodded.

The two bought some more fruit before going to the cashier to pay.

When it was time to pay, Cheng Shuangjiang took out a cloth shopping bag from her backpack, the one she used to use often.

She remains as frugal as ever.

Zhou Heming carried a shopping bag in one hand and held Cheng Shuangjiang's hand with the other as they walked out of the supermarket.

Passing by the back street, some students who, like them, didn't have classes and came early to find something to eat. They bought another serving of Lu Qian's favorite spicy cold dish.

After returning home, Zhou Heming immediately began processing the ribs, stewing them in a pressure cooker.

Cheng Shuangjiang put on her apron, which was faded from washing, and started processing corn, lotus root, and romaine lettuce.

The pressure cooker started cooking, and Zhou Heming came to help open the black bean dace and then clean the shrimp.

The sound of the door being unlocked came from inside. The two turned around and saw Lu Qian carrying a cardboard box, kicking off her shoes, and preparing to put on slippers.

"I'm back! I brought you all some delicious food. Oh, what's that? It smells so good!"

She put down the box she was holding and came closer.

"Lotus root and pork rib soup, and shrimp."

Zhou Heming replied that the water was almost boiling, and he picked up the shrimp from the basket that were still jumping and struggling.

"Wow, he's still alive."

Lu Qian stared at the shrimp with a mix of fear and curiosity.

"Isn't it too cruel to just throw them alive into a pot to boil?"

Before Zhou Heming could even type a question mark, he heard Lu Qian continue speaking.

"Is the sauce ready? I want mine extra spicy and with Sichuan peppercorn oil!"

She's still the same foodie, just as I always have.

After tidying up, the three of them sat down around the dining table.

"This is a birthday feast for Frost's Descent. Let's have the birthday boy say a few words."

Lu Qian volunteered to take on the role of emcee.

"Do you want to speak again?"

Cheng Shuangjiang had just picked up her chopsticks.

"of course."

Lu Qian clenched her fingers as if handing her a microphone.

Cheng Shuangjiang pretended to take the microphone and stood up.

"Ahem, um, thank you, thank you Ahe and Aqian for spending my nineteenth birthday with me. I hope that next year on this day, the year after next, and every year thereafter, the three of us can be together."

She looked at Zhou Heming, then at Lu Qian.

He looked towards his family.

"Hehe, I'll make a similar wish for my birthday."

Lu Qian rubbed her nose and smiled.

"Then your wish may have to go to waste."

Zhou Heming said.

"What, you don't want to?"

Lu Qian asked in return, and Cheng Shuangjiang also looked over.

"What I mean is, even if you don't make a wish, I will be with you, every day, every year."

Zhou Heming explained.

The two girls exchanged a glance, their expressions deeply moved.

"Okay, let's eat quickly then."

Lu Qian couldn't wait.

She peeled a shrimp and handed it to Cheng Shuangjiang.

"You're the birthday boy/girl, you eat first."

Zhou Heming had just finished peeling a shrimp, and after thinking for a moment, he handed it to Cheng Shuangjiang.

"I'll peel one more for Ashen."

Cheng Shuangjiang looked at the two shrimp in the bowl and smiled helplessly.

"Alright, I'll peel one for Ah He."

"It feels like I'm solving some kind of math problem, like the shrimp-peeling problem."

Lu Qian rubbed her temples with her wrist.

"No, my head is so itchy, it feels like a brain is growing out of it."

"Eat quickly."

Zhou Heming placed the peeled shrimp into Lu Qian's sauce dish.

"Great."

She immediately picked up her chopsticks, putting the math problem out of her mind.

The three of them finished eating and cleaned up.

Zhou Heming told Cheng Shuangjiang to wait outside, and then he and Lu Qian went into the room.

After a while, the two of them each took out a box.

Sitting in the chair, Cheng Shuangjiang, who was nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, immediately stood up and looked over.

"Ta-da, this is your birthday present for Shuangjiang."

Lu Qian first handed over the gift she had prepared.

"Can I unpack it?"

Cheng Shuangjiang asked expectantly.

"of course."

Lu Qian answered with a smile.

Cheng Shuangjiang immediately opened the box. Inside was a deep sea blue spaghetti strap dress, adorned with waves and seashells among the pleats of the skirt, with a black bow at the back. The hem of the skirt gradually turned into light blue, and a layer of silver gauze covered the outside, like the Milky Way above the deep night sky.

Whether worn alone or paired with a vest, this dress is perfect for Cheng Shuangjiang's cool and aloof temperament, adding a touch of freshness and brightness to her everyday look, making it very eye-catching.

"This is what I've always wanted."

Cheng Shuangjiang looked at the dress, then at Lu Qian and Zhou Heming.

Can I change into it now?

“It’s a good time to try.”

Lu Qian made way for the path to the bedroom.

Cheng Shuangjiang quickly grabbed her dress and ran into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

"I feel like my gift is going to be overshadowed."

Zhou Heming joked.

"How could that be? You're still her favorite."

Lu Qian smiled.

As the two were talking, the bedroom door was quickly opened.

With her hair piled up, only a few strands falling beside her ears, Cheng Shuangjiang wore a dress that revealed her smooth, fair shoulders and delicate collarbones. Although she wore no makeup or matching shoes, the crescent moon and rose pendant around her neck and the silver bracelet on her right wrist were enough to accentuate her elegant and exquisite temperament, making her seem like a true flower on a high mountain, only to be admired from afar and not approached.

"Is it...good-looking?"

Cheng Shuangjiang looked at the two of them, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her eyes and whispered.

"It suits you perfectly! This dress was probably made just for you. Even if the designer saw it, they would only exclaim that it's invincible!"

Lu Qian praised it vividly.

Cheng Shuangjiang nodded shyly, then looked at Zhou Heming.

"Like, summer."

Zhou Heming said in a deep voice.

She and Zhou Heming exchanged glances, everything understood without a word.

Then, Zhou Heming stepped forward and opened the small box in his hand, inside which was a silver ring.

The ring's main body is entwined with rose branches, with flowers blooming around a small fox. Sparkling blue gemstones adorn the fox's eyes, giving the overall design an elegant and refined look.

Furthermore, it matches Cheng Shuangjiang's bracelet perfectly.

"ring."

Cheng Shuangjiang's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She covered her mouth with a slight tremor, and then, seemingly after a great deal of effort, extended her right hand toward Zhou Heming.

"Could you help me put it on?"

Her voice was filled with suppressed excitement and joy.

"my pleasure."

Zhou Heming took off the ring, knelt on the ground, gently held Cheng Shuangjiang's hand, and then slowly slipped the ring onto her right ring finger.

"Ahem, now, the groom may kiss the bride."

Lu Qian stood aside, playing the role of a notary.

Zhou Heming stood up, took Cheng Shuangjiang's hand, and looked at the girl dressed in a wedding gown who looked up at him and nodded slightly.

The next moment, the two kissed.

It was like a wedding I'd seen in a dream.
