Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2319 - 2255: Yes, Marriage Is a Big Deal
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
"Low-cut? Sleeveless? Short skirt?" Meng Xinian’s expression clouded over instantly.
What sort of garments were those?
His heart felt as though it were being clawed at the mere thought of her dressed like that, exposing vast stretches of her pale, satiny skin for the world to see.
Chiang Xiao suddenly realized that sexy dresses hadn't made their debut in this era yet—wedding cocktail dresses? Mini wedding gowns?
She could forget about those; even the standard white wedding dresses of this time were incredibly dated in their design.
She might as well just stick to a military uniform.
Still, she recalled how many people in the future regretted not taking enough photographs, while others never even considered preserving their memories through pictures.
"Brother Xinian, let's arrange a set of wedding photos then."
"Naturally, we must take wedding photos."
"I don't mean the typical studio portraits you're imagining where we just sit together. Let's try street photography."
"Street photography?" Meng Xinian mused, "You mean capturing images out on the street?"
"Exactly. We'll take plenty of pictures so we can look back on them whenever we wish in the years to come." As the plan formed in Chiang Xiao's mind, she grew excited, "I'll even assemble the photo album myself and include some of my own illustrations."
Between the photographs and the behind-the-scenes sketches she planned to draw, the album would become a priceless keepsake.
Meng Xinian gave an immediate nod of approval, "That is a wonderful idea."
"In that case, we need to purchase several stylish, photogenic outfits. We also need to be selective about the photographer and the locations. With so much preparation required, is June really enough time?"
"When would you prefer it to be?"
"How about October? The golden autumn of October is the perfect season for a wedding. It also grants us more time to get everything ready."
October...
To him, that felt like a wait so long that his heart would start growing moss!
Gritting his teeth, Meng Xinian stared at her, "Chiang Xiaoxiao, do you really have the heart to make me wait?"
Was she seriously asking him to wait nearly another full year?
Seeing his aggrieved expression, Chiang Xiao struggled to suppress a laugh.
Was the wait truly that agonizing for him?
"What is wrong with October?"
"There is only one flaw—it is far too distant." Meng Xinian shook his head. "By then, we can just select thinner, lighter clothing. It's only for one day; we can endure the heat."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Why should we have to endure anything?"
"October isn't actually that much cooler anyway."
Besides, if they could do it in October, why not June?
Chiang Xiao fixed her gaze on him, "So, in your opinion, what is the best date? Did you consult Elder Yang?"
Suddenly, Meng Xinian went silent.
"Never mind, we can discuss this another time. I'm leaving for now; you should get some rest."
Watching him make a clear attempt to flee, Chiang Xiao sensed that something was suspicious.
Naturally, as soon as darkness fell, Meng Xinian slipped back into her room.
The following day, while Chiang Xiao was getting ready to depart, the Elder Yang couple and Yang Zhiqi arrived to see her off. Old Yang remarked, "Little Xiao, once you and Xinian decide on a wedding date, make sure to inform Grandma and me. We will definitely attend the banquet. However, I don't think you need to rush. November thirteenth is actually a superior day; it doesn't necessarily have to be June, does it?"
Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao immediately pivoted to look at Meng Xinian.
Meng Xinian stared up at the sky, thinking that the blue was particularly vivid today.
Then he shifted his gaze to the ground, finding the grains of sand quite... fascinating.
Chiang Xiao didn't know whether to be annoyed or amused.
Was this man really being this childish?
