JFWCM Chapter 93

The Starry Lagoon Promise

In that interstellar academy that gathers future technology and infinite possibilities, the love story of Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan is like a moving cosmic poem. Yi Shang, after reverting from her aloof and mysterious genius state back to being human, is still surrounded by an aura that keeps people at a distance, much like a cold and unreachable star in the depths of the universe. But when facing Jiang Wan’yuan, a watery tenderness would surface in her deep eyes. Jiang Wan’yuan is like a vibrant comet, illuminating every corner of Yi Shang’s heart with her bright and cheerful light.

After experiencing countless adventures and challenges on campus, the two decided to go to the distant and romantic alien planet, Starry Lagoon Star, to hold a unique and grand wedding.

When Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan set foot on the land of Starry Lagoon Star, it was as if they had stepped into a wonderful picture scroll interwoven with dreams. In the sky, colorful nebulae of varying sizes floated, intertwining with each other like agile ribbons, blooming with dreamlike light, shrouding the entire planet in a hazy halo. In the distance, undulating mountains were made of colorful crystals, refracting dazzling light under the reflection of the nebulae, like a wonderland in a fairy tale. On the ground, various strange plants grew, their leaves like sparkling gems, and their flowers like luminous elves, making crisp and pleasant sounds as they swayed in the wind, as if playing a welcoming song.

Yi Shang held Jiang Wan’yuan’s hand tightly. Her always aloof face was now slightly flushed. Although she still didn’t say much, her slightly trembling fingertips revealed her inner nervousness and anticipation. Jiang Wan’yuan was as excited as a child who had discovered a treasure, her eyes shining with bright light, and she said happily, “Yi Shang, it’s just so beautiful beyond imagination! It’s just like the wedding scene we’ve depicted in our dreams countless times.” Yi Shang’s lips curled up slightly, and she said softly, “As long as you like it, this is the most beautiful place.”

Yi Shang devoted all her efforts to this wedding. The wedding venue she personally designed was a crystal castle floating in mid-air. The castle was built of countless pure and transparent crystals, each of which was carefully carved with exquisite patterns, refracting dreamlike colors under the shining of the nebulae, like an independent fairyland pavilion. Around the castle, there was a circle of flowing holographic images, constantly playing their bits and pieces from acquaintance to love, from the inadvertent eye contact in the campus library to the mutual support when jointly resisting extraterrestrial threats. Each frame carried precious memories of their love.

The wedding day finally arrived. Yi Shang wore a snow-white wedding dress, the skirt of the wedding dress was like a flowing galaxy, trailing several meters long, inlaid with tiny star diamonds, shimmering with charming light with every step, as if gathering the starlight of the entire universe on her body. Around her fair neck, she wore a necklace made of gems unique to Starry Lagoon Star. The gems emitted a mysterious and soft light, setting off her cool and noble face. Golden long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her eyes, which always showed indifference, were now full of deep affection and tenderness for Jiang Wan’yuan.

Jiang Wan’yuan wore a light pink dress, like a peach blossom blooming in spring, delicate and charming. The upper body of the dress was dotted with delicate pearls and rhinestones, like dewdrops on petals in the morning, shining with crystal light. The skirt of the lower body was made of layers of light gauze fabric, and each layer of gauze was embroidered with lifelike flower patterns, as if wearing the entire spring on her body. She wore a flower crown interwoven with fresh flowers and crystals, the fresh flowers were delicate and dripping, and the crystals were dazzling, setting off her playful cuteness. Her face was filled with a happy smile, which was as bright as the sun, and could dispel all the haze in the world.

When Jiang Wan’yuan took Yi Shang’s hand and slowly walked along the aisle paved with flowers and starlight, the guests present couldn’t help but marvel. Yi Shang’s gaze was always locked on Jiang Wan’yuan, as if in her eyes, Jiang Wan’yuan was the center of the entire universe. Jiang Wan’yuan looked up slightly, looking at Yi Shang with love in her eyes, and said softly, “Yi Shang, I feel like I’m in the most beautiful dream.” Yi Shang squeezed her hand gently and responded tenderly, “This is not a dream. From now on, I will make you so happy every day.”

Just in this moment full of sweetness and warmth, a uniquely shaped spaceship cut through the sky like a meteor and slowly landed near the wedding venue. The hatch opened, and two figures walked out, Jing Xiao and Zhang Yao. Jing Xiao was wearing a neat dress, with a sincere smile on her face and blessings for her friends in her eyes. Zhang Yao was wearing a beautiful dress, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, with a happy expression on her face and tears of emotion in her eyes. They walked quickly towards Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan, their eyes full of sincerity.

Jing Xiao took the lead to speak, with a trace of emotion in her voice, “Yi Shang, Wan’yuan, I’m so happy for you. Along the way, watching your relationship become more and more firm, I sincerely wish you to go hand in hand through the years to come.” Her gaze was gentle, as if recalling the campus time she spent with them.

Zhang Yao handed the bouquet of flowers in her hand to Jiang Wan’yuan, hugged her tightly, and said with a slight sob, “Wan’yuan, you must be very happy! From us laughing and playing together on campus, to witnessing you wearing a wedding dress today, I’m really too happy.”

Jiang Wan’yuan’s eyes were red, and she hugged Zhang Yao back: “Don’t worry, I definitely will! I think it’s more perfect today that you and Jing Xiao can come.”

Yi Shang nodded slightly, signaling to the two of them. Although she didn’t say much, her eyes were full of gratitude.

The wedding ceremony officially began, and the clergy on Starry Lagoon Star, an elder of the Elven clan exuding a soft light, slowly walked towards the newlyweds. He held a code book condensed from starlight in his hand and solemnly said, “In this vast universe, the stars witness the birth and demise of all things, and your love, like the most dazzling star, shines in the long river of time. Today, you make eternal vows on Starry Lagoon Star.”

Yi Shang stared at Jiang Wan’yuan affectionately, her voice still clear, but full of deep affection: “Jiang Wan’yuan, from the moment we met, my world began to change. Your cheerfulness is like sunshine, illuminating every corner of my heart. I once sailed alone in the cold ocean of knowledge, and you guided me to a warm harbor. I promise that no matter how many unknown challenges there are in the future universe, I will always be by your side and protect you with all of me.”

Jiang Wan’yuan’s eyes flickered with tears, she held Yi Shang’s hand tightly, her voice firm and gentle: “Yi Shang, you are the most special person I have ever met. Your aloofness once made me curious, and then I walked into your world, only to find that behind it is endless tenderness and deep affection. Every day with you is like an adventure, full of surprises and emotions. I am willing to explore the mysteries of the universe with you, share every joy, and share every difficulty.”

The elven elder smiled, sprinkled the starlight from the code on the two of them, and said softly: “In the name of Starry Lagoon Star, and with the power of the universe, bless your love to be as solid as a rock and eternal.”

At this moment, the nebulae in the sky seemed to be inspired, converging into a huge heart shape, sprinkling colorful light, shrouding the newlyweds. The surrounding guests applauded and blessed, and the cheers and applause intertwined, echoing in this dreamlike space.

The wedding banquet was held in the castle. The tables were filled with delicacies from all over the planets, exuding an enticing aroma. The music sounded, it was a piece specially written by Yi Shang for Jiang Wan’yuan, the melody was melodious and pleasant, as if telling their love story. Yi Shang took Jiang Wan’yuan’s hand and stepped into the center of the dance floor, they danced gracefully, their figures light, like two stars in the universe attracting each other.

Jing Xiao and Zhang Yao watched them from the side, their eyes full of relief. Jing Xiao sighed softly and said, “I really didn’t expect that the once aloof Yi Shang is now so gentle by Jiang Wan’yuan’s side.”

Zhang Yao smiled and nodded: “Yes, love is really magical, it can change a person. They will definitely be happy forever.”

As the banquet drew to a close, Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan stood on the castle’s terrace, looking up at the starry sky. Jiang Wan’yuan leaned on Yi Shang’s shoulder and said softly, “Yi Shang, today is like a dream, I hope I never wake up.”

Yi Shang gently hugged her, looking firmly into the distance: “This is not a dream, there are countless more beautiful days waiting for us in the future. No matter how the universe changes, our love will never change.”

The starlight sprinkled on them, outlining an eternal picture, as if telling that this love will leave a legend of their own in the universe.
