Chi Qiu still remembered, half a month before the wedding, he and Lu Ming had a photo together for the first time.

The moment the photographer pressed the shutter button, he was so embarrassed that he always felt his tie was crooked or his suit was not buttoned properly. With sweat on his palms, he stood beside Lu Ming slightly nervous, with a huge bouquet of balloon rose on his side.

The balloon gently touched Chi Qiu’s shoulders, Chi Qiu did not dare to move and stood up straight in a stupefied way.

“The groom on the right relax a little, don’t be so nervous.” The photographer was in pain and said in a nice voice, “Can the groom on the left smile a little? Don’t be so serious, you are going to get married.”

Lu Ming stood on the left; his face was dark.

The noisy photographer annoyed him. He glanced at the time on the wall and thinking that there was still a meeting to be held in the afternoon, he could not help but urge, “Please take the photo faster, I still have work.”

“Sorry, I was too nervous.”

Hearing that his tone was not very good, Chi Qiu thought that he was wasting too much time. He quickly took a deep breath to make himself look more natural: “If you are really busy, why don’t you forget about today first? We’ll change the time.”

Lu Ming said bluntly, “No, it’s my fault, I didn’t adjust the time.” He said to the photographer, “Just shoot it like this, it’s okay no need to adjust too much.”

The photographer was dumbfounded. However, in line with the principle that the ‘customer is god’, he said with an awkward smile, “Okay, I get it.” The heart was muttering: Okay what okay?

Wedding photos should always be better-looking and happier, how could they be so rigid. The photographer took a photo with the SLR and pressed the shutter one by one, none of which was satisfactory to him.

Today could be said to be the waterloo in his photo career, nothing went well.

After filming this set of clothes, taking advantage of Lu Ming to take Chi Qiu to change into another set of clothes, the photographer drank a sip of red jujube wolfberry tea with anger and complained to the studio manager.

The manager patted him on the shoulder: “You didn’t see one of them is blind ah.”

“It’s not that I haven’t taken orders from blind couples before. I have never seen such an unloving one. I watched that Mr. Chi is still a little happy to get married, but he was a little embarrassed and too shy. That Mr. Lu, those who don’t know would have thought he was forced to get married,” The photographer sighed, “I don’t think this photos will look good when they come out.”

“Okay, you can shoot it casually. The money delivered to your door will not be earned for nothing. They did not choose a location, indoor shooting, we are more relaxed.”

“The photos are not good enough. If the customer is not satisfied, don’t they have to retake it?”

The boss glanced back and made sure that the person hadn’t come yet before asking the photographer to rest assured: “Who is not satisfied? Mr. Chi is concerned about this set of photos, but the problem is that he can’t see it.”

And the one that could see, obviously didn’t care much.

Ten minutes later, Lu Ming and Chi Qiu had changed into a second set of clothes.

They took two sets, one suit and one classical dress. Originally, in this package, five sets of clothes could be selected for shooting. Lu Ming found it troublesome and only chose two sets.

That day, Lu Ming, while receiving a work phone call from his secretary, brought Chi Qiu to the photo studio to walk through the pre-marriage process. The uncle who came back early to attend the wedding from abroad was also with him.

When choosing clothes for shooting, Chi Qiu asked Lu Ming’s opinion, and what he got was Lu Ming’s hand: “These two sets.”

Chi Qiu grabbed Lu Ming by the corner of his clothes: “Is two sets enough? They said we could choose five sets.”

“Do you want five sets?” Lu Ming asked rhetorically.

Chi Qiu froze for a moment; it was not a question of whether he wanted to or not, but everyone who chose this package would carefully select five sets of clothes. After he sensitively noticed Lu Ming’s lack of understanding, he shook his head in confusion.

“If you want to take photos with the five sets of clothes, we need to re-adjust the time. Recently I may be busy.”

“No need!” Knowing that Lu Ming had only chosen two sets because of his work, Chi Qiu felt much better in his heart. He put away his disappointment and said contentedly, “Two sets are enough, the ones you picked all look good.”

Lu Ming’s uncle couldn’t stand it anymore, he pulled Lu Ming aside and educated him, “Even if you are doing a play with him, you can’t be so perfunctory, ah?”

“I’m not perfunctory, and I don’t intend to make a play anymore.”

“..”

“He likes me and has liked me for many years. So I am truly going to marry him and be his partner.” He was silent for a moment and thought of a safe way to put it, “This is my way of paying him back.”

Lu Ming’s uncle did not comment on this, but his face was very complicated.

He had tried to stop Lu Ming from going back to China to do these seemingly crazy things, but failed to do so. Looking at Chi Qiu, who was not far away, he somehow sympathized with this poor little blind man.

Not being able to see anything meant that everything could be deceived.

“Lu Ming, you have to come out; people can’t be trapped in the past for life nor should they sacrifice others like this..”

Lu Ming interrupted him: “I can’t fall in love with anyone in my lifetime, so he and I are perfect for each other. In our marriage, there will be no betrayal, so there is no sacrifice.”

In Lu Ming’s eyes, he and Chi Qiu complemented each other. They both had that thing that they wanted from each other.

It was only fair that they took what they needed from each other.

“But do you really understand what he wants in return?” The uncle looked at Lu Ming, annoyed by these words, and said angrily, “You have no such thing, you have lost it for a long time! If it’s just for show, you can’t do it all your life.”

What Chi Qiu really wanted was exactly the feelings that Lu Ming had lost for a long time.

Lu Ming stopped talking.

In fact, he denied the other party’s remarks from the bottom of his heart.

The young uncle saw his thoughts and helplessly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He no longer embarrassed Lu Ming. He restored his gentleness: “It’s no use crying over spilt milk. You just accompany him to choose some clothes, he will be happy.” He gestured to Lu Ming to hurry over and not to keep Chi Qiu waiting.

Lu Ming stopped in place and explained, “He simply can’t see, these photos of several sets of clothes are the same for him.”

It was just a photo paper that he touched in his hand.

Lu Ming said: “I don’t think that choosing a few less sets of clothes is perfunctory to him. As you can see, he is not unhappy.”

Since Chi Qiu did not ask to choose more clothes, it was not necessary. Lu Ming believed that people would inevitably not speak or act upon things that were not needed.

Moreover, Lu Ming felt that the wedding photos that Chi Qiu was looking forward to were of little significance. For him, this thing was not necessary; for Chi Qiu, it had no existential value.

Originally, he did not arrange this item.

It was Chi Qiu who had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he hadn’t heard anything. So, he asked him on his own initiative: “When are we going to take wedding photos? I heard that after everyone gets married, they hang a special big wedding photo in the new room.” He said it shyly, with a light smile at the corners of his mouth, full of expectation.

He thought that someone as serious as Lu Ming would not take the initiative to hang a wedding photo on the wall, so he wanted to ask Lu Ming’s opinion first: “I also want to hang one, do you mind?”

Lu Ming paused for a moment.

Only then did he remember that there was such a thing.

“Don’t mind.”

“That’s good.” Chi Qiu thought Lu Ming was busy with work and forgot, so he thoughtfully said, “Have you still not thought about where to shoot? If you don’t have time recently, we’ll go and make up for it afterwards.”

“No, we will shoot next week.”

Lu Ming turned on the phone screen and immediately sent a message to the secretary, asking him to make a reservation for him, the sooner the better.

Chi Qiu heard him typing and knew that Lu Ming was busy with this matter, so he waited quietly for a while. When Lu Ming finished sending messages with his secretary, he lowered his head and said in an apologetic voice. “I can’t see, I can’t pick the place myself, and I can’t help with the wedding, so I’m making you work hard all by yourself.”

“I don’t find it hard.” Lu Ming told Chi Qiu not to think too much, this was all that he should do.

“Thank you.”

Chi Qiu stretched out his hand, and Lu Ming also stretched out his hand, the two of them clasped their hands together.

Chi Qiu was not tall, only 173 cm. Compared to Lu Ming, who was 185 in height, Chi Qiu’s hand was a circle smaller and could be completely held by Lu Ming.

Chi Qiu’s expression was very gentle, he was full of hope for the future.

“Lu Ming, I..I will definitely be a good partner.” Suddenly, he lowered his eyes, a flush of faint reflected on the cheeks. Like a flower petal falling in the spring fell on the face, stained with fluttering love words, rusty and sincere: “I will love you very much every day.”

Lu Ming looked at him and put that blush into his eyes, it was a little warm.

He couldn’t understand this heat. After moving his gaze away, he gradually cooled the temperature and asked in a low voice, “How to love?”

At the same time he regretted asking, he felt that he had unknowingly made things difficult for Chi Qiu.

Because for Lu Ming, it was a difficult question. He could not feel love, and it was hard for him to express love again. As his uncle said, from the second he witnessed his mother’s death, he lost everything.
