[Net King] Pilgrim

Machida’s three-month vacation after graduation was actually not much easier than when she was working. After moving into a new home with Echizen Ryoma, it took a few more days to make it suitable for living.

The new home is bright and clean with a new look. The rose trellis is set up in the yard, and the weeds in the backyard have been cleaned up. The area is wider than before, with a net in the middle, and the prototype of a tennis court can be vaguely seen.

As soon as Machida went to the piano store to buy the piano, he put it in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and took time to take Echizen Ryoma to the flower market, picked a few bunches of fresh cut flowers, and a few jasmine plants that could be transplanted in the yard.

And every night, he would still embrace her as before, and fall asleep soundly in the faint scent of blood orange in the bedroom.

The two went to the district office where they were to register their marriage, and it was the second week after finishing their new home.

Although Echizen Ryoma is an American citizen, Cheryl pulled him the formalities in advance, and the process went smoothly.As for Machida Yi, who is a public figure in front of the screen, except for the change of household registration, he still retains his original surname to the outside world.

After registration, the next step is to prepare for the wedding.

In terms of the scale of the wedding, the two coincided with each other. Find a place with a clean environment in Japan. The guests only invite relatives and friends, and there will be no media and sponsors. There is no need for the so-called "century wedding".

It doesn't have to be grand, just warm enough.

Echizen Ryoma has hired a professional team, so you don't have to worry too much about the selection of venues, as well as the design of invitations and bouquets.

It's just that when Machida saw the three-page wedding process checklist sent by the person in charge, she was still a little dumbfounded, "... so many things to do?" After taking a shower at night, she sat on the sofa and flipped through the time in her hand. Although he had made preparations for the complicated process, he still couldn't help but be amazed.

Echizen Ryoma sat next to her, and while confirming the venue information, he said, "This is already simplified, it was one page longer than this."

Machida sighed softly, "I don't think it's easier to hold a wedding than my tour..."

He smiled, "Regret?"

"What if I say yes?"

"It's too late to regret, Mrs. Echizen."

Machida's heart was hit by this title, and his heart skipped a beat, so he pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to turn the pages, thinking in his heart, she doesn't regret it, and she is willing even if she is tired.

With this idea in mind, she didn't realize until the wedding day that "happiness" and "tiredness" are completely proportional...

Although a lot of procedures have been saved and the number of guests has been controlled, following each step is not much easier than her performing a two-hour public performance.

Echizen Ryoma is more than a little better than her.

The wedding venue is in a small forest full of sunshine. The sunlight shines through the metasequoia leaves on the wooden plank road. When the wind blows, the leaves fall rustlingly and land on the golden bamboo chairs.

The faint sunshine, the smiles and moist eyes of relatives and friends, there is no vulgar form, but there are mountains and rivers, bird forests, a sentence of "I do" and exchange of rings in front of the glass greenhouse with colorful plants, and the surrounding nature a kiss.

The season of autumn is strong, but it doesn't feel cold at all, and the heart is warm.

Machida invited Janice to be the bridesmaid, and as the best man, it was Kaibin who asked Echizen Ryoma to recommend himself.

Janice cried out before the bride, and she calmed down after the ceremony. When Machida went to change her dress, she couldn't help but secretly gossip about her love life.

Janice told Machida that she had a boyfriend before, but he was on a business trip recently, otherwise she wanted to invite him to the wedding.After changing the dresses, the two walked back to the conservatory while chatting. Machida looked at the photo of her boyfriend in Janice's phone and said honestly: "He still looks very good."

Janice laughed and said, "Echizen-kun will be jealous if you say that."

The two chatted vigorously, talking and laughing, and arrived at the venue for the lunch banquet.

Echizen Ryoma was standing on the boardwalk outside the flower house. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and saw Machida Kazumi walking with Janice with a smile on his face, holding a skirt in each hand.

What Kekou said was something else entirely.

She ran up to him and took his arm naturally, "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

He shook his head, raised his hand to help her remove the fallen leaves from the top of her hair, "...I saw that you guys had a good chat."

"Ah, it's Janice who has a boyfriend."

He paused, raised his eyebrows and said, "So on our wedding day, are you paying attention to other men?"

Machida was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "No, I'm happy for her."

Seeing that he didn't seem to buy it, for the first time, she tiptoed to lightly touch his cheek regardless of the presence of others.

Echizen Ryoma didn't look sideways, but there was an imperceptible arc on the side of his mouth.

On the day of the wedding, it seemed that all the intimate behaviors would attract more jokes from others, and soon there was booing from the seniors.

Machida wasn't embarrassed at all, but just sighed with a smile, how to get married, it's getting more and more childish...?

At night, everyone stayed to participate in the farm bonfire party. A few green plants hung from the roof of the glass flower house, which complemented the small light bulbs that were lit early in the morning. They twinkled under the night, which was very beautiful.

The party lasted until very late, and most of the people staying at the end were young people. After the guests left one after another, Echizen Ryoma and Machida finally had time to rest.

Machida was so tired that he felt like "it's finally over", and he didn't change the light blue dress on his body. On the way back, he leaned on Echizen Ryoma's shoulder, but he smiled and said, "It turns out that marriage is like this. It's my first marriage."

Echizen Ryoma glanced at her, "How many more times do you want to get married?"

……

Regarding the travel after the wedding, the two had discussed in advance and had already booked a time, flying from Tokyo to New York, stopping there for about a week before flying to Los Angeles.

As for why this route is chosen, apart from Echizen Ryoma's promise to take Machida to the place where he lived before, another reason is because Machida really wants to go to Universal Studios in Hollywood.

After making travel plans, the two went to New York within a few days.

The sunny outdoors at the turn of autumn and winter, the weather is surprisingly good, which made Machida Kazu's already good mood even more pleasant. In addition to places like the Metropolitan Museum and Times Square, he also went to Connor, which is a little further away, with Echizen Ryoma Seoul University.

Stopped in New York State for over a week, and spent all the rest of the trip in Los Angeles.

When he arrived at his residence in Los Angeles, Machida was finally able to see the orange grove where Echizen Ryoma lived when he was a child.

The sun like olive oil poured down, passing through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows all over the place. She walked around for a long time with undiminished interest. If he hadn't stopped her, she would probably try to climb up the tree.

During this period of time in the United States, whether in New York or Los Angeles, Echizen Ryoma’s originally spacious but monotonous apartment soon left traces of Machida Kazu.

The novel publications on the coffee table, the ice cream cakes in the refrigerator, and the piles of skin care products in front of the vanity mirror in the bathroom and on the table in the bedroom.

Sometimes he even felt that it was not so much a honeymoon trip as they just lived in another place, and they would stay in the apartment and watch movies in the afternoon when they didn't want to go out.

They don't know what the so-called honeymoon trip should look like, but as long as the two of them are as happy and content as possible, it will be fine.

After resting, the next morning, Machida took Echizen Ryoma straight to Universal Studios.

It is not as crowded as on holidays, but there are also many tourists, and there are people of all ages.

Machida has been excited since entering the park. From the Harry Potter fantasy tour to the Transformers virtual roller coaster, all the play strategies made before the trip came in handy at this time.

In fact, this theme park Echizen Ryoma has been to this theme park several times before and played some classic items, but he patiently played it again with her.

On the contrary, Machida asked him from time to time, if he had experienced a certain project and didn't want to go again, they could go to the ones he hadn't been to first, or she could go in by herself and try to end it as soon as possible.

Echizen Ryoma smiled, with a teasing tone: "Which one can you play alone? Like the 'Walking Dead' project just now?"

Machida Kazu: "..."

In a flash, she recalled the environment full of eerie music and scary "zombies" just now, and her own image in that environment, which was even more imageless than the "ugly photo of eating".

"How do I know it's scarier than the TV show!"

After he said this, Machida took him with him in all the projects he played afterwards.

I have been strolling in the park until dusk, and I have played all my favorite items. Anyway, I have ample schedule, so don’t worry too much. There are still a few items that I didn’t go to, and the two plan to come back the next day.

On the way back, Machida stretched contentedly, and when he passed the convenience store in front of the apartment, he suddenly felt thirsty, so he went to buy water with Echizen Ryoma.

After returning to the apartment to take a shower, Machida looked through the shopping bag on the coffee table, only to find that in addition to a few bottles of water and a few packets of snacks, there was also a can of beer in the bag.

She turned to look at Echizen Ryoma who had just come out of the bathroom, pointed at the beer, "Did you buy it?"

"Yeah." He sat in front of the coffee table, tapped the tab of the beer can with his finger, and took a sip with his head raised.

When she was shopping just now, she was only thinking about drinking water when she was thirsty, and she didn't notice when he stuffed a can of beer into it.

Normally, Machida Kazu would not be greedy, but today he was tired all day, sweated from playing, and was steamed by the hot bath so that his whole body became hot...

Unable to hold back, she took the porcelain cup on the side and pushed it in front of him.

Echizen Ryoma glanced at her and smiled, "Why?"

"Pour me a glass."

"You're going to work next month."

"Then take advantage of the vacation and satisfy your hunger." She pushed the cup closer.

In fact, Machida had already drank a lot on the day of the wedding banquet, and there were occasional dinner parties in the past few months, and there were always times when he couldn't help her stop it. Counting it piecemeal, he drank a lot every week on average.

Echizen Ryoma said nothing to let her drink.

"Just one cup..." She moved over and looked at him eagerly, "How about half a cup?"

Seeing that he was still unmoved, she simply cheated, "Then don't buy it, you are deliberately greedy for me."

"You can't drink, why don't you let me drink?"

"Just take a sip, just a little." She made a gesture to grab the beer in his hand.

He took the jar away, and the two quickly laughed and quarreled, and almost forgot their original purpose in the end.

Echizen Ryoma turned his head to look at her, just after taking a bath, she still exuded the sweet scent of figs, her face was flushed with the blush from the hot water, which made her eyes bright.

He looked at her quietly for a moment, put down the wine jar, put his hands on the back of her neck, and bowed his head to kiss her.

It tastes like beer, with a bit of bitterness.

There is a faint sound of insects chirping outside the window at night, which is as sweet as the one heard in the natural forest on the wedding day.
