Winter in Jiangcheng came extremely early this year.

Ever since their relationship was announced, Jiang Yu always had an obsession in her heart, feeling that something was missing. In this land where they were born and raised, it would be a pity that they can only treat each other as friends. After all, there should be a place in the world that can accommodate them and walk hand in hand under the sun.

She had the idea of ​​registering her marriage abroad.

Cheng Suran didn't care much. No ritual or process can restrain people's feelings. Even the law only protects shared property. If one day they don't love anymore...

"Now you're thinking about not loving me anymore?"

On a cold winter night, the north wind howled outside, while inside it was as warm as spring. Two people, wearing matching rabbit pajamas, lay at the head of the bed with a laptop in front of them.

Jiang Yu smiled and pinched Cheng Suran's face.

"I'm not." Cheng Suran knew she was pretending and nudged her coquettishly.

The computer screen lists various countries and regions that allow same-sex couples to register. The dense English text was sent by Jiang Yu’s friends in the circle for them to understand and choose. They had been looking at it since after dinner, and now it was close to ten o'clock.

Different regions have different policies and registration conditions, which may be difficult or easy. The climate and human environment should also be considered. "Ranran, which country do you want to go to?"

"Mm...Finland."

"Why?"

"I like the scenery in Northern Europe. There are big forests and you can see the Aurora. There are few people there and the overall environment is relatively relaxed..." Cheng Suran said with her fingers. She has been to Finland and has seen many VLOGs shot by bloggers. Compared with several countries she often visits, it is a unique and secluded place.

"And you?"

Jiang Yu stared at her lips, leaned over, and pecked her: "It's all up to you. I used to fly everywhere, but now wherever you are, it's our home."

Cheng Suran blushed to her ears.

"Then shall we buy a house locally?"

"Okay."

"So simple? Don't you think about it? It's not too late to try and  live there for a while before making a decision."

Jiang Yu smiled for a long time before saying seriously: "I happen to be short of a house in Northern Europe, so it's time to buy one."

"What? You Jiang Coco, tell the truth..." Cheng Suran pretended to be angry, picked up a pillow, and hit her twice.

Jiang Yu rolled over and hugged the person into her arms.

"Mmm..."

She covered her mouth.

Cheng Suran softened, hugged her, and kept giggling: "Then we can design and decorate together, buy furniture together... We need to open a big window in the ceiling so that we can lie in bed and watch the Aurora!" Her dark eyes were full of anticipation.

Jiang Yu was also filled with excitement after hearing this, and kissed her face again and again: "What should I do? I can't wait any longer. I want to go through the formalities and register as soon as possible, and then buy a house with a big garden in the forest or by the lake."

"We will decorate it as you like..."

After saying that, intensive kisses fell like raindrops again.

"But I am currently restricted from leaving the country and cannot go there for a while."

"What happened?"

"Didn't I resign from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the year before last? In addition to paying liquidated damages, I am not allowed to leave the country for three years, which is the condition. But it will end in half a year, so don't worry." Cheng Suran patted her hand comfortingly.

Jiang Yu thought it was something serious, so she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "Okay, don't rush, we will make preparations slowly."

Time flies by in anticipation.

From the busy start of spring to the first chirping of cicadas in early summer and the expiration of her travel restrictions, Cheng Suran and Jiang Yu worked non-stop to apply for visas and fly to Finland.

A simple bilingual marriage document symbolized that they had a legal relationship in this corner of the world. After successfully registering, the two of them spent a few days in the capital.

It was the time when Finns enjoyed their "summer holidays."

Cheng Suran took Jiang Yu north by train to Rovaniemi, the largest city in northern Finland. It is located in the Arctic Circle. Even in midsummer, the average temperature is less than 20 degrees.

"Ah, we came at the wrong time..."

After getting off the train, Cheng Suran suddenly realized something. Her face which had been smiling brightly just now fell, and she looked at Jiang Yu in frustration.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu helped her fix her crooked hat.

Cheng Suran pouted slightly: "The aurora can only be seen in winter... It's summer now, we can't see it."

Like a child who couldn't eat candy, she hugged Jiang Yu in an aggrieved manner, then probably realized how childish she was acting and tried to let go.

Jiang Yu laughed, touched the top of her hair, and comforted her softly: "We can come again in winter. If you want, I will come with you anytime. One day we will be able to see the Aurora."

"Mm."

"Are you cold? Your hands are a bit cold; put on your jacket."

"I'm okay, not cold."

Cheng Suran said this, but let go of her hand and obediently put on the coat that she had taken off earlier.

Jiang Yu held her hand and led her to the car.

The first time Cheng Suran had come to this land, she was captivated by the vast forests and endless blueberries everywhere. On sunny days, the sky was always a clear, brilliant blue, adorned with pristine white clouds. She was immediately drawn to the breathtaking scenery.

Since then, she couldn't forget it, always fantasizing about settling down here with her beloved someday.

Now her wish is about to come true.

After spending a few days in Rovaniemi, Jiang Yu and Cheng Suran returned to the capital to start looking for houses. Most of the houses here are more than fifteen years old. There are very few new houses and even fewer that meet Cheng Suran's preference. They ran around for a whole week and finally found the perfect house in the suburbs.

It was located in the southeastern suburbs of the city, and a new house was built this year. There is a natural park nearby, adjacent to a large forest and a lake. Including the yard, the total area is 1,600 square meters.

Snow-white roof, light blue exterior wall, fence, and garden fruit trees. Cheng Suran fell in love with it the first time she saw it.

"Wow…"

"This is the paradise I imagined!"

She stood on the balcony and opened the window. In the distance was a mirror-clear lake. Occasionally, unknown white birds flew by, fluttering their wings and flying into the lush green mountains and forests.

Looking up is the clear blue sky, looking down is the vast green grass.

"Now that we are tourists, we cannot buy directly for the time being. I have contacted my friends and will find a specialized agency to handle it. As long as the money is in place, it can be done before winter this year at the earliest." Jiang Yu injected a calming dose of reassurance at the right moment. She didn't want to dampen the mood; everything was being predicted in the best possible way.

Cheng Suran raised an eyebrow, pointing at Jiang Yu and then at herself. "You and I, worry about money? Any problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem."Jiang Yu burst into laughter. 

"Yes, Miss Cheng is a rich woman."

"You are the rich woman, I am just the slightly rich woman."

"Then...this will be our second home from now on."

Jiang Yu hugged Cheng Suran from behind, her hot breath hitting her ears. Cheng Suran shivered, turned around, and hooked her hands around Jiang Yu's neck: "I want to install a hammock and a big swing in the yard. We can sit on them to read, bask in the sun, and have outdoor barbecues. I want to plant my favorite flowers and grow the vegetables I love. We'll have a cat and a dog. We'll go to the forest to pick blueberries, make jam if we can't finish them, and in winter, we can ski right outside our door and go ice fishing on the lake..."

She babbled, the smile on her lips deepened, and her clear eyes were filled with anticipation.

There are many things that she wants to do with Jiang Yu, and there are many many plans that she wants to implement with Jiang Yu. Although she is still young, she had already envisioned their life in old age.

"Well, the hammock and swing are quite good. Besides reading and basking in the sun, they can be used for other purposes."

"What?"

Jiang Yu leaned into her ear and whispered: "Unlock a new location."

Cheng Suran's face turned red to the roots of her ears.

"Jiang Coco!" She laughed angrily and punched Jiang Yu's shoulder with her fist, "How come your mind is full of waste every day?"

"What waste?"

"What do you think?"

"Oh, I meant, sitting in the sun is comfortable, but lying down and sunbathing is even more comfortable. How did that turn into waste? What are you thinking about?"

Cheng Suran punched her again.

"Hahahaha-" Jiang Yu laughed heartily and held her face in her hands.

"I won't tease you anymore; I was just joking."

"The old aunt is not serious!"

"I'm disliked by someone for being too old again..."

"Oh no!"

The two started laughing and joking on the balcony.

After choosing the ideal house, a weight had been lifted from their hearts. Unconsciously, the sun was about to set, and the remaining clouds resembled flames. Cheng Suran held Jiang Yu's hand as they walked out of the house and followed the road along the edge of the forest.

There are large and small single-family villas scattered nearby, cars are parked at the entrance of some of the houses. Occasionally, they spotted a few elderly people with silver hair but lively strides.

It didn't take long before they arrived at the lake.

There were few people around, and it seemed a bit deserted. The lake was as clear as a mirror, clearly reflecting the sunset in the sky, the sparse shadows of the trees, and a group of unnamed white birds flying across the lake.

As if they were in a dreamland isolated from the world. As they walked, a sense of tranquility and comfort suddenly emerged from within.

Cheng Suran slowed down and seemed to be talking to herself: "In the future, when we get old, we will immigrate here and take care of ourselves here. We will plant flowers and vegetables every day and go out for long walks..." As she said this, she turned around and looked at Jiang Yu seriously, "Is that good?"

"Yes," Jiang Yu raised the corners of her lips slightly, her eyes unable to hide her tenderness, "We will become two old ladies together."

“What if one day I can’t walk anymore?”

"I'll carry you."

"Then your old bones will fall apart under my weight."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Under the sunset, they looked at each other and smiled.

This day, this moment, felt like a dream, yet it was so real, telling them that it wasn't a dream.

Walking through high mountains and low valleys, seeing all the prosperity of the world, going round and round.

I still like you the most.

Fin.
