Having recited their vows, the church returned to silence.
Tang Li reopened her eyes and, through the thin white veil, met Song Baiyan's deep gaze. There, she glimpsed an emotion beyond gentleness, which made her feel shy: "The vows I saw over there, as for the veil, it might have been left here by someone."
Tang Li wanted to pull her hand back from the Bible.
But her wrist was grabbed, and Song Baiyan's right hand lifted the veil.
After the oath, it was time to exchange rings and kiss.
This was what Tang Li thought, while the man's thumb moved from her forehead to her lips, feeling somewhat rough.
Then, she heard Mr. Song tease: "A bride who hasn't reached the legal age for marriage, some parts of the ceremony can only be reserved for now."
Hearing the word "bride," Tang Li's ears turned red too.
Before she could say anything, Song Baiyan pulled her closer, encircling her slender shoulders and holding her gently in his embrace.
