I must complain about how awful Mo Sheng’s hair looks, like she got up in the morning, slapped on her tiara, threw the veil on top, and voila, ready to get married. I know it’s short hair, but come on, hubby is a big-shot lawyer and can afford to hire a proper hair stylist for your once-in-a-lifetime big day.)
Yuan Feng and Xiao Xiao are at the hospital. The official test results have come in and Xiao Xiao is not pregnant! The home pregnancy test was a false-positive. Yuan Feng comforts Xiao Xiao, saying they are still young and their children will come eventually. Without a child tying them together, Xiao Xiao tells him they should part ways, but Yuan Feng states, “It’s actually better that there is no baby. That way, it proves that my feelings for you are purely out of love and that I am with you not out of responsibility.”

So, it seems Zhang Xu is from Shanghai? As he and Yi Mei stroll under the shade of trees with rays of sunlight passing through the branches (they are certainly doing their best to make sure Yi Mei has the most romantic relationship ever), Zhang Xu tells her, “Actually, the first time I saw you in the village, I could see a certain sense of sadness and loss in your eyes, very similar to the children, yet different as well.” Yi Mei gives him an excuse that it is probably because she is a journalist and she sometimes has to cover unhappy stories. He gives her a profound and earnest response. “… ‘To love but not able to have’ is a very lonely feeling. I understand that feeling… You are a smart girl. You should be happy.” (He learned all that just from looking into her eyes? Holy! Music is definitely the wrong calling for him, then.) Yi Mei smiles at him, and they share yet another loooooong moment staring deeply into each other’s eyes.

Two years later…
Another wedding!  Guess whose it is this time? (If you hadn’t caught the romantic overtones in all those previous scenes, you probably had your finger on the fast-forward button.) I’ll admit, Yi Mei looks radiant as a blushing bride (at least she did her hair!) as hubby, Zhang Xu carries her out to the wedding car, while the photographer, Mo Sheng, busily darts around getting shots of the celebration. In the car, Yi Mei looks back out at Mo Sheng and Yi Chen briefly, a content and happy smile on her lips — the past is truly in the past now.

The picture-perfect wedding, down to the groom’s vow of love: “Two years ago, you let me encounter you. In the one year following, you let me understand you, comprehend you, fall in love with you. A common dream and goal that we persevered at together allowed me to deeply believe and know with certainty that you are the one person whom I want to respect, protect, and treasure. And so, three months ago, I officially proposed to you. That moment when you accepted and allowed me to place the wedding ring on your finger, I felt I was the luckiest, happiest person in the world.” He pauses to tell the crowd he is a little overcome with emotion and nervous, too.  (What is that look that Yi Chen is giving him?)  The groom continues his vows, “Anyway, the many words I have to say all converge to this: Yi Mei, thank you for appearing in my life, thank you that you are willing to share the rest of your life with me. I promise to give you happiness.” Yi Chen looks on, his expression grateful and touched that his little sister has finally found the happiness she deserves.

(I shall not complain about Mo Sheng’s outfit being way too casual for a wedding where she is actually family, since she is doing double-duty as the photographer, too.  However, was I the only one who right away noticed the word “BONDAGE”, capital letters and all, spelled across her back? For a wedding?!  LOL! Bongsd helped me research the brand and I guess it says “BON-TON” in the front? Does that make the whole message of the shirt more wholesome? Or, as Bongsd puts it, Mo Sheng’s taste is just a little, ahem, “intense”? FYI, this might be a little preview of peanut’s fashion post, but that Moschino shirt goes for $500 USD.  Me… no thanks!)

Wedding pictures time with the family! Yi Chen has dropped all semblance of his cool Lawyer He look (and the Yi Chen of the novel, while we’re at it) and is goofing around in the back with Mo Sheng, making faces and giving bunny ears/bull horns to the oblivious bride and groom.
