Has there ever been a person who has warmed you like spring?
How far is the distance between love and marriage?
Sometimes it's close, sometimes it's out of reach, sometimes it's even an abyss.
The protagonists of this issue of "The Last Subway", An Tang and Tong Tong, have just experienced a "family negotiation" full of pulls and compromises. Luckily, they're already moving on to their dream wedding.

Love is a free and sweet stay
Has life brought you security? Is there anyone who giggles in the mirror when he thinks about brushing his teeth? Have you decided to make a vow with whom to face a trivial life and unknown fate together?
For Ann Sugar, she met Tong Tong.
When we returned home with her, the breath full of traces of life greeted us.
Because they met at the outdoor club, they now choose to spend more time at home and enjoy the joy of the two's world. For example, the division of labor to complete a set of puzzles, drinking tea together, sharing the books they are reading...
A happy life for two people with one cat
"The kitchen is his paradise."
An Sugar pointed to Tong Tong who returned from work, and the happiness between his words seemed to be about to overflow.
Tong Tong, who likes to delve into cooking, takes on the role of cooking and washing dishes, and the pink apron, which is slightly contradictory but cute, is encouraged by Ancang's mother.
From raw sautéed sea bass and sautéed lamb with green onions to scrambled eggs with tomatoes, their favorite dishes are handwritten on paper and accumulated over time into a stack of simple recipes.
The refrigerator was also stuffed with sugar, and Ancandy and Tong Tong patiently introduced various ingredients.
Love is, eating many meals together
"Her hands and feet are always cold, so drink more lamb soup to make up for it."
"She loves to eat pickled pepper claws, so I'll make them myself."
Maybe it's just a small detail, we can quickly capture the thoughtfulness and tenderness between this couple.
The most memorable thing about the two of them, the 100-kilometer hike became a symbolic milestone in love.
They were very relaxed at first, running and jumping; However, as time passed, the body became tired and tired, so it began to save physical strength and move forward at the same frequency, but the speed was quite fast.
Unfortunately, they failed to complete the challenge.
A commemorative medal of 50km
"Actually, Ancandy can go to the end. Because I was physically exhausted, she gave up with me. Although a long time has passed, Tong Tong is deeply sorry for talking about this.
But in Ansugar's view, life is also like this.
"When two people first start, they may play all the way through the hips, and they need to plan and move forward rhythmically in the back, and then there may be regrets in the back, and we should also accommodate each other."
From freedom to steady planning, from confidence to lack of certainty, more important than the result is the heart that is willing to tolerate each other and stay together.

Marriage is moving forward in unison
Love is the script of two people, and marriage becomes a story between two families.
For a long time, Ann Sugar's parents did not approve of them being together.
The family situation gap between the two sides has put many practical problems on the surface: bride price, down payment, car... The rules and regulations of these marriages have blocked a large number of couples from the marriage hall, and An Sugar and Tong Tong are particularly resolute.
"When I first met for a few months, I decided in my heart that I could go on with An Sugar and go on to the end." Tong Tong said with a smile.
The confidence that sounded like empty words was behind the efforts he and she had made for each other.
Homemade recording studio
In order to have his own house in Hangzhou, accustomed to the high-consumption of Ancandy, slowly began to calculate carefully, there were few new clothes in the cabinet; And Tong Tong, who has always been casual, has also tried many part-time jobs.
For example, the simple recording studio was built by hand from cardboard boxes and sponges. Tong Tong often practiced "eight hundred pacesetters rushing to the north slope", originally wanted to make money through recording, but found it much more difficult than expected.
Whether you should change yourself for love has once become a hot topic on the Internet.
And An Sugar and Tong Tong believe that if they can make their lives better, it is necessary and worthwhile.
When you have time, go for a walk
"My dream before was to play the piano on a big stage, so that everyone would know that there was a genius named Tong Tong; But now, my wish is to see An Candy every day, with small eyes narrowed and small mouths grinning. ”
Tong Tong took out the draft speech he had prepared carefully and read it to the camera.
He said that he wanted to use the power of words to convince the man who loved Ancandy the most in the world, but in fact, it was his sincerity and love that touched the worldly prejudices of the elders and made them believe in the determination to "ensure that she can live happily every day".
A simple romantic wedding, an RV, a house with a small courtyard...
An Sugar and Tong Tong move in unison towards the set goal, which may be slow, but they will always arrive.
Handwritten version of "a hundred little things"
"The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you."
This lyric, which has been sung for more than twenty years, expresses the promises and expectations between countless lovers.
And in the long years, An Sugar and Tong Tong walked forward together, embraced the beauty around them, and fulfilled all their wishes.
The starry sky of 2060 awaits them in the future.
