Chapter 471: Harmony

Chapter 471
Venice is a city in northeastern Italy. Because the entire city is built in the most unlikely place-water, it is known as the "water city".
In this water city, the winding water lanes and the flowing clear waves make the city seem like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves, wandering through it, the poetic romantic feelings lingering for a long time, let people linger. Venice is known as the most romantic city in the world.
When Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin came here at dusk, they saw that the whole of Venice was shrouded in golden waves and shining brightly, especially the small boats floating on the water and the unique European-style buildings on both sides. There is something suffocating. The beauty.
Women are most passionate about romance, so when they see such a beautiful scenery, they are completely addicted to it. Zhao Yuqin held Zhou Hao's hand and leaned on his shoulder, looked at the water city in front of him, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Sister, haven't you been here before?"
Zhao Yuqin shook his head: "I always wanted to come before, but I never had a chance. Moreover, if I came alone, what's the point?" After that, he looked at Zhou Hao with a smile.
Indeed, if you come to Venice alone, looking at the other couples in this romantic atmosphere, you will feel really uncomfortable. Zhou Hao understood that what Zhao Yuqin said about the lack of opportunity was not that objective conditions did not allow it, but that she had not found a man who could come together before.
Now that there was such a beautiful view, the two went to an inn to set up their luggage, and then rented a small boat called "Gondola" to cruise along the river. There are no cars here in Venice. The most common means of transportation is boats, and these criss-cross rivers also replace the function of land.
As the sun sets, the hazy night slowly diffuses, the European buildings on both sides reveal a misty light, and the melodious music of the accordion flows in the air, which is really pleasant.
Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin were sitting in the small boat, and the boatman in the back swayed the oars to let the "Gondola" move forward slowly. Zhao Yuqin was nestled in Zhou Hao's arms, feeling that Zhou Hao's mind was the warmest and safest harbor in the world.
No one here knows them, so neither of them has any more scruples.
"Xiao Hao, it would be great if time could stop here forever." Zhao Yuqin looked up at Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao smiled, then bowed his head and kissed her two soft lips, slowly the usual sweetness in them. Zhao Yuqin did not resist or stop, just enjoying the tenderness and sweetness between the two quietly.
In the quiet light, the two are just like other lovers, cuddling each other as if they were married.
After sharing a delicious and romantic dinner in Venice, Zhou Hao took Zhao Yuqin to the most famous St. Mark's Church in Venice. Since it was already night, there were no citizens or tourists in the church, only a priest who looked more than 50 years old was there quietly looking at the Bible in his hand.
Zhao Yuqin let Zhou Hao take her hand into the church, and asked suspiciously: "Xiaohao, are you a Christian?"
Zhou Hao smiled and shook his head, "Sister, wait here first."
Then he walked to the priest's side. Zhao Yuqin stood here without going over, just watching Zhou Hao talking to the priest curiously, and the priest also looked towards her with a kind smile, and at the same time kept talking to Zhou Hao. Nodding, seems to have agreed to some of his requirements.
Not long after, Zhou Hao walked back and took Zhao Yuqin to the altar over there.
Zhao Yuqin didn't know what Zhou Hao was going to do, but he still let him go. Anyway, he would support what he was going to do.
I saw Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin coming to the priest. The priest smiled at the two men and said in English: "May God bless you. Marriage is blessed, sacred, and extremely precious; therefore, it must not be neglected. Hasty, it is right to swear an oath before God respectfully, piously, and gratefully."
Zhao Yuqin naturally understands English. Hearing what the priest said, and seeing the gentle smile on Zhou Hao's face, Zhao Yuqin's heart was rippling, and she was moved, and her eyes also covered with mist.
"Xiaohao, you..."
Zhou Hao did not speak, but tightened Zhao Yuqin's soft jade hands.
I saw the priest again saying to Zhou Hao: "Mr. Zhou Hao, on behalf of the church, I would like to ask you before the most holy, beloved and holy God, you would sincerely marry Miss Zhao Yuqin and obey God’s commandments in the Bible. Live godly with her for the rest of your life, no matter you are in peace and hardship, rich or poor, obedient or inferior, healthy or weak, you respect her, help her, care for her, love her with all your heart, and build a family loyally with her for life. God benefits people! Are you willing?"
Zhao Yuqin looked at Zhou Hao with a trembling heart, and saw Zhou Hao facing the priest, facing the gods of the altar behind the priest, and said sincerely: "I do."
Although this phrase "I do" is not loud, it sounds like a spring thunder to Zhao Yuqin.
After all, tears flowed through the eyes, but with a trace of sweetness and happiness.
The priest looked at Zhao Yuqin: "Ms. Zhao Yuqin, on behalf of the church, I would like to ask you before the most holy, beloved and pure God, would you sincerely marry Mr. Zhou Hao, obey God’s commandments in the Bible, and live with him? I live a godly life, regardless of peace and hardship, richness and poverty, obedience or rebellion, health or weakness, you respect him, help him, care for him, love him with all your heart, build a family with him loyally for life, honor God and benefit others !Do you want to?"
Zhou Hao looked to her, eyes full of expectation and hope, Zhao Yuqin smiled lightly, shyly, and solemnly like a mountain alliance, and said softly: "I do."
The priest smiled and cast his blessed gaze at the two of them, saying: "I declare in the Most High Father, the Beloved Son, and the Most Holy Holy Spirit that you are married, and that God is united and you cannot be separated. God is with you. In, forever, Amen!"
"Thank you priest." Zhou Hao expressed his sincere thanks to this kind-eyed priest.
Although the two are not Christians, strictly speaking, they are not eligible for the wedding ceremony in St. Mark's Cathedral. However, this is not a formal wedding, but a promise of "God" witness. Secondly, the priest saw Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin's love for each other, and was happy to make it easy.
Seeing Zhao Yuqin's tears still falling, Zhou Hao gently wiped her away, "Sister, why are you so sad? Isn't it too wrong to marry me?"
Zhao Yuqin wiped away his tears, then glanced at Zhou Hao and said, "Of course I am wronged. If I don't even have a ring, I will let someone marry you. Only if I am so stupid will I agree to you."
Zhou Hao smiled and took out a dark purple box from his pants pocket.
When Zhao Yuqin saw this small box, her heart trembled, and when Zhou Hao opened the box, she saw a pair of shiny rings quietly inside. I saw these two rings, one thick and the other thin, and they were both a ribbon of platinum lingering around a brilliant diamond.
The diamond is not big, but the brilliance that shines out makes everyone who sees it startled. Moreover, the inside of the thick ring is engraved with two small italics "Yuqin", while the inside of the thin ring is the word "Hao".
Seeing these two rings, Zhao Yuqin's tears came out again uncontrollably.
Zhou Hao squeezed the thin ring, held Zhao Yuqin's right hand, and carefully put the ring on her ring finger. It was not too small or too big, as if it were one with Zhao Yuqin.
"Woo...you little villain, you just want to make people's tears." Zhao Yuqin couldn't help but beat Zhou Hao, but his heart was filled with sweetness.
After putting that thick ring on Zhou Hao's left ring finger, Zhao Yuqin was already crying.
Zhou Hao hugged her into his arms and apologized: "Sister, I'm sorry, I can't give you an official status through legal means, but today there is the testimony of the old man from God that you will be Xiao Hao's wife in the future, who We are also inseparable."
Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Zhao Yuqin cried more happily, completely subverting her previous image of a mature and strong woman. Now she is completely a little woman shrouded in happiness.
With the jade figure in his arms, Zhou Hao looked up at the frescoes in the church that told the story of Jesus. He didn't believe in the existence of gods before, but now that after experiencing the cycle of life and death, Zhou Hao has a vague feeling in his heart that there may be some kind of magical existence in this world.
And if there are gods, Zhou Hao would be grateful to them, because they let Zhou Hao meet Zhao Yuqin, meet Li Ruolan, meet Su Lin and other women, and these extremely outstanding women love themselves. .
Sometimes when I think about it, Zhou Hao feels that he has too much blessing. These women around him, ordinary people can already be blessed by the ancestors, but he is alone in the crowd. But just think about it, Zhou Hao has never felt any guilt, and only secretly vowed to cherish them.
After returning to the hotel from St. Mark's Basilica, Zhao Yuqin's eyes were still red, so much so that the owner of the hotel thought Zhou Hao had bullied such a stunning woman and almost kicked Zhou Hao out.
Back in the room, Zhao Yuqin took off Zhou Hao's coat thoughtfully, and let Zhou Hao sit by the bed, while she carefully took off Zhou Hao's shoes and socks, just like a gentle wife.
