Woke Up And Had A Baby With My Mortal Enemy - Chapter 35
What was Hang Sizhou looking forward to about marrying Xiao Hang in a church?
It was already good enough for him to not give him a bad look.
During the hesitation, the man beside him had already moved forward. Hang Sizhou quickly followed his steps, and the two stood side by side in front of the prayer platform.
Hang Sizhou looked up at the cross in front of him.
The director was chatting about it for a long time during the practice, and, through that, he had gained some understanding of the procedures. It seemed that they had to pray first and then take an oath…
“What about the wedding vows?” Hang Sizhou asked.
Xiao Hang took out his mobile phone and seemed to be preparing to search on Baidu.
Hang Sizhou glanced at him dissatisfied: “You are the one who was clamouring to do this, but in the end, you didn’t even prepare the vows?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden “click” sound from the small door on the side.
Unexpectedly, a slightly familiar face appeared.
Their eyes met, both of them were very surprised.
The priest had not expected to bump into a young couple making a lifelong commitment in the middle of the night.
The priest had a habit of going to the church every night before each wedding. He would stand in front of the prayer table, having some spiritual communication with God, and asking God to bless him to let everything go well the next day.
Probably his sincerity had really moved God.
Every marriage he had handled so far was successful. It couldn’t be said that every couple was very happy and harmonious, but they were still together.
He was the most trusted person in the small island town.
After the people from outside the island got to know that weddings in the island’s church were particularly successful, some young people would visit from time to time to pray and hope that God would make their relationship smooth.
Occasionally, they would meet him and ask him to help with it.
But the couple in front of him were the first couple who had come to the church in the middle of the night.
Both Hang Sizhou and Xiao Hang had outstanding looks, and the priest quickly recognized them as the guests who had come during the day to participate in the recording of the program.
Especially the young man in a white shirt. He sat in front of the piano and played for a long time. The priest was told that the young man would play the piano the next day during the wedding ceremony.
The priest had presided over the wedding ceremonies of many couples and had heard many different pianists play the piano. Only what the young man played seemed very special.
It was obviously the same piano, the same music, but when he played it, the notes seemed to be alive.
Music that had pleased him must have also pleased God.
The priest straightened his collar, walked step by step to the prayer table, and looked at the two of them: “Since you have come, let’s take care of you. Please stand still.”
Hang Sizhou: “?”
The priest had a loving and compassionate smile on his face: “I will officiate the ceremony for you.”
–
In Hang Sizhou’s original plan, he and Xiao Hang would pray like the young couple they had met during the day, then recite their wedding vows, and the process would be over.
Xiao Hang also seemed to have no more expectations than that.
However, who would have expected that they would end up bumping into the priest?
The priest looked very old, why did he still like to stay up late?
The priest said he would preside over the ceremony, so Xiao Hang naturally put away his cell phone.
Seeing that Hang Sizhou was still stunned, the man reached over and pinched the back of his neck: “It’s starting.”
Hang Sizhou twisted his neck, glared at him, and reprimanded him with his eyes to not move his hands or feet. Then he turned around and continued to look at the priest with a blank face.
There were only three of them here, and the priest went directly to the oath-taking step.
He first looked at Xiao Hang: “Mr. Xiao Hang?”
“Wait a minute,” Hang Sizhou interrupted him suddenly, “Why did you ask him first?”
The priest was stunned. After the two of them walked in, Xiao Hang stood where the ‘husband’ would usually stand, thus, he asked him first as he was used to it.
Xiao Hang raised his lips in understanding and said to the priest, “Ask him first.”
The priest had no choice but to turn his neck and look at Hang Sizhou: “Mr. Hang Sizhou, do you take Mr. Xiao Hang to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better and worse, for poorer and richer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish until death do you apart, according to the Lord’s holy ordinance; do you pledge your faith?”
Hang Sizhou’s stern face cracked slightly when he heard the priest say, ‘to love and to cherish’.
Although he knew that it was a fixed process for weddings, he still felt awkward when the question was asked to him.
To love Xiao Hang?
It was impossible for him to do such a thing in his entire life.
The priest waited for a while, but before waiting for Hang Sizhou’s answer, he repeated the paragraph.
Hang Sizhou lowered his eyes and did not dare to look anywhere else.
The words ‘to love and to cherish’ were like a ball of fire, burning through his ears.
His hand hanging by his side was suddenly held, and Xiao Hang’s voice rolled down, very softly, and he called out his name.
“Hang Sizhou.”
Hang Sizhou suddenly returned to his senses, raised his head, looked at the priest, instantly choking out the words “I do” from his throat.
The priest nodded slightly and turned to Xiao Hang: “Mr. Xiao Hang, do you take Mr. Hang Sizhou to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better and worse, for poorer and richer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish until death do you apart, according to the Lord’s holy ordinance; do you pledge your faith?”
The moment after the words fell, Xiao Hang had already answered: “I do.”
The low and firm voice set fire to Hang Sizhou’s already burning ears, and Hang Sizhou felt that even his cheeks had begun burning.
“Now, in the name of God, I declare that you are officially husband and husband. You can exchange rings.”
Hang Sizhou was startled.
The wedding was an impromptu idea that had come up in the middle of the night. Where could he find a pair of rings?
He looked at Xiao Hang, and the man was also looking at him.
The priest took out two plain-coloured rings from under the prayer table in a familiar manner: “It’s okay, it’s okay. I have them here. You can make do with them for now.”
Hang Sizhou’s face was full of questions: “Why do you have all this?”
The priest held up the rings cheerfully: “Many young couples come here and suddenly decide to get married, but they end up getting very embarrassed because they don’t bring along the rings. As a result, I prepared a lot of such rings in case of emergencies.”
Hang Sizhou: “…”
He was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide under the prayer table.
He and Xiao Hang were not a young couple. They are both an old couple. How could they be compared to those impulsive and reckless young lovers?
Xiao Hang took a step forward and took the two rings with a normal expression: “Thank you.”
Then handed one over.
Hang Sizhou pursed his lips and took it with stiff hands.
The two successfully completed the steps of exchanging rings.
The priest clapped his hands: “Okay, you can now exchange kisses.”
Hang Sizhou: “…”
Was it too late for him to regret his decision to get married now?
Of course it was too late to regret.
Xiao Hang had already turned around and looked at him.
Beside him, the priest was also staring at him, sparks of excitement dancing in his aged eyes.
Since there was no way to escape, Hang Sizhou asked the priest sternly: “Usually, isn’t it the husband who kisses his wife?”
The priest had been helping people organise weddings for many years, and it was the first time he had heard such a question.
Regardless of whether they were an opposite sex couple or same-sex couples, after exchanging rings, they couldn’t wait to look at each other and engage in a passionate kiss.
But he still maintained the professional ethics as a priest and said with a calm face: “Yes.”
Hang Sizhou bit his lip hard, then raised his hand to grab Xiao Hang’s collar and leaned over.
The moment he touched Xiao Hang, he whispered: “I am your husband.”
Xiao Hang: “…”
Xiao Hang raised his arm and gently hugged the slim waist of the person in front of him: “Well, you are the husband.”
Hang Sizhou pressed his lips against Xiao Hang’s lips with satisfaction, then turned around and said while arranging his clothes: “Thank you for today, Father. We’ll head back now.”
After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked out, with the whole set of movements flowing smoothly.
The priest looked at his back as he hurried out and touched his chin with satisfaction.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the other protagonist of the ceremony.
From the beginning to now, Xiao Hang didn’t say much. The whole process was more like a duet between Hang Sizhou and the priest.
Xiao Hang narrowed his eyes and nodded to the priest solemnly: “Thank you for tonight.”
The priest quickly waved his hand: “You’re welcome.”
He stared at the tall and thin figure who had already walked outside, and said with a smile, “I have hosted many weddings. This is the first time I have met someone so shy. He is quite cute.”
After saying that, the priest himself felt a little thump in his heart.
The man had a strong aura and cold eyebrows. At first glance, he was someone who was not easy to get along with, and he was not someone who could be casually joked with.
Just as he was about to apologize, he saw the man bending his eyes, looking at his lover bathed in the moonlight, and said warmly: “Yes, he has always been so cute.”
–
By the time, Xiao Hang walked out of the church, Hang Sizhou had already stepped on the sand.
On the way, Xiao Hang had been hesitating whether to explain the night’s events to Hang Sizhou.
He really wanted to get married in a church, but he didn’t have to do it.
Hang Sizhou was by his side.
As long as he worked hard and removed all obstacles before Hang Sizhou recovered his memory, Hang Sizhou would always be by his side in the future.
For Xiao Hang, that was completely enough.
