The wedding continued, with no one noticing the subtle exchange between the father and son.
Tong Ya walked to the end of the red carpet, accompanied by her father and bridesmaid Xu Xia.
"Yizhou, I’m entrusting Xiao Ya to you now!" Father Tong placed his daughter’s hand in Shen Yizhou’s, his voice filled with reluctance, "Treat her well!"
"I will," Shen Yizhou replied, holding Tong Ya’s hand firmly, "I promise."
Raising his hand, Shen Yizhou carefully lifted her veil, and as their eyes met, they exchanged a smile.
Their love wasn’t as intense as that of Luo Xiaoqian and Leng Zimo, but it ran deep and was unbreakable.
Born in the same hospital, raised in the same compound, they were classmates from kindergarten, then in primary school, middle school... until they graduated high school. Tong Ya went to Europe to study art, while Shen Yizhou went to the United States to study medicine. It was then they parted ways.
After graduation, they both returned home, in reality, for each other.
Over the years, they have quarreled, and they have confronted challenges, making their arrival at this day truly hard-won.
Reaching out, they held each other’s hands and turned toward Leng Lin’s direction.
"Today, we make this oath here. I, Tong Ya (Shen Yizhou), vow to become one with Shen Yizhou (Tong Ya). In poverty and in wealth, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, I will love you, cherish you, and be loyal... forever!"
Standing around them, the parents from both sides, along with Luo Xiaoqian, Xu Xia, and others, all looked touched.
Accompaniment is the truest form of love, and this phrase perfectly captures Tong Ya and Shen Yizhou’s journey.
From birth until now, they have never left each other’s side. Regardless of the temptations around them, they remained steadfastly devoted. Now, finally, they can step into marriage hand-in-hand. Everyone believes they will grow old happily together.
"Now!" The officiant raised his voice, "I announce Miss Tong Ya and Mr. Shen Yizhou officially married. Mr. Shen Yizhou, you may now do what you’ve most wanted to do at this moment. Shall we all say it together?!"
