Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Before we knew it, the sun began to slowly set in the west.

Lu Yong and Hannah arrived at a lake in the park, sat on a bench, and quietly admired the beautiful scenery.

"Today was truly meaningful. Not only did we see so many beautiful birds, but we also enjoyed the maze walkway and resolved a small argument," Hannah said softly, leaning against Lu Yong's chest.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, every day with you is incredibly fulfilling. But time really flies; today is our last day in Xiamen."

Hannah listened and said with some emotion, "Yes, it feels like we haven't had enough fun yet. But it's okay, we'll have another chance to come again in the future."

Just as they were immersed in fond memories and anticipation for the future, they suddenly heard cries for help coming from the lakeside.

They quickly stood up and ran towards the direction of the sound.

A little boy accidentally fell into the lake and was struggling in the water.

Without thinking twice, Lu Yong quickly took off his shoes and coat and jumped into the lake.

He swam vigorously toward the little boy and quickly grabbed his arm.

With the help of others on the shore, Lu Yong and the little boy were pulled ashore.

The boy's parents rushed over, pale with fright, and kept thanking Lu Yong: "Thank you so much, my son would have been in danger if it weren't for you."

Lu Yong, panting heavily, smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, as long as the child is alright."

Hannah rushed over, draped her coat over Lu Yong, and said with concern, "Are you alright? You scared me to death just now."

Lu Yong patted Hannah's head: "I'm fine, don't worry."

People around Lu Yong looked at him with admiration. The boy's parents even offered him money to thank him, but Lu Yong refused, saying, "It's nothing. Anyone would have done the same. I can't accept the money."

When the boy's parents saw that Lu Yong was adamant about not accepting the money, they said, "Well then, let's exchange contact information. We'll definitely thank you properly when we have the chance."

Lu Yong couldn't refuse, so he left his contact information.

Although this little accident was somewhat thrilling, it made Lu Yong and Hannah cherish each other even more and feel the warmth between people.

As darkness fell, Lu Yong and Hannah knew it was time for them to leave Wuyuan Bay Wetland Park.

They held hands and slowly walked towards the park entrance.

"Today was truly unforgettable. Although the ending was a bit thrilling, it also showed me your courage and kindness," Hannah said, looking at Lu Yong.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. As long as everyone is safe and sound, that's all that matters. What I experienced in the park today has made me realize even more that there is beauty in every aspect of life."

Finally, they walked out of the park gate.

There were many taxis waiting for passengers at the entrance. Lu Yong and Hannah hailed one and prepared to go back to the hotel to pack their luggage and end their trip in Xiamen.

The next day, as they were leaving Xiamen, Lu Yong and Hannah slowly walked out of the hotel, dragging their suitcases.

The two hailed a taxi and headed to the airport.

Along the way, Hannah leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder, her eyes revealing a hint of reluctance: "These past few days in Xiamen have been so wonderful, time has flown by so quickly."

Lu Yong gently patted her hand and comforted her, "Yes, but we'll have more opportunities to go to different places in the future. Besides, we have more important things to do now."

Hannah looked up at him curiously: "What is it?"

Lu Yong took a deep breath and said seriously, "Hannah, I've thought about it for a long time, and I've decided to quit coaching. Over the years, although I've achieved some success as a coach, I've also devoted a lot of time and energy to it, neglecting you and our own lives. I want to dedicate more time to you and to our future family."

Hannah's eyes lit up with surprise, but she quickly became worried: "But you're doing so well as a coach, wouldn't it be a shame to quit? And what about your students?"

Lu Yong grasped Hannah's hand and said firmly, "I know this might be a bit of a pity, but for me, family is the most important thing. I believe those trainees will have better coaches to guide them. Besides, I've been thinking about my own future, and I want to change direction and do something I really want to do."

Looking into Lu Yong's determined eyes, Hannah was deeply moved: "Actually, I also have something I want to tell you. I'm also planning to leave my current industry."

Lu Yong looked at her with some surprise: "Leaving the industry? Why? You were doing quite well in that industry, weren't you?"

Hannah leaned against Lu Yong's chest and whispered, "Over the years, I've experienced a lot in this industry. Although I've achieved some success, I've also endured a lot of pressure. Moreover, I've always felt that I've been striving for other people's approval, neglecting my true inner needs. I want to live a simpler, happier life with you. Let's get married, plan our wedding together, and envision our future together."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yong felt a surge of excitement. He hugged Hannah tightly and said, "Great! Hannah, I've been waiting for this day for so long. Let's get married and start our new life together."

They arrived at the airport quickly.

After checking in, the two sat in the waiting area and began excitedly discussing their wedding plans.

"Hannah, what kind of wedding do you want for us? A romantic beach wedding, or a traditional Chinese wedding?" Lu Yong asked expectantly.

Hannah thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think a beach wedding is quite romantic, but a Chinese wedding also has its unique charm. How about we combine the romantic elements of the beach with the traditional characteristics of China?"

Lu Yong's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea! What about the wedding venue? Should we find one locally, or somewhere we both like?"

Hannah tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I think we could go to a place with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, like the places we've traveled to before, such as Sanya or Bali. I really loved them and never got enough of them. That way, we can have a romantic wedding and also take a honeymoon to relive the place."

Lu Yong nodded: "Good idea! But we need to find out about the wedding planning in these two places first, and see which one is more suitable for us."

As he spoke, Lu Yong took out his phone and began searching online for wedding planning information in Sanya and Bali.

Hannah joined him and watched together.

The two looked at the book and discussed various details, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

"Look at this wedding venue in Sanya, it's so beautiful! There's a white sand beach, blue sea, and a romantic flower archway," Hannah said excitedly, pointing to her phone screen.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, it is indeed very beautiful. But Bali is also famous for its weddings, with many unique churches and beach wedding venues. Let's take a look at Bali's weddings."

They continued browsing through wedding planning examples in Bali, scrutinizing every detail from venue setup and ceremony design to guest arrangements and catering choices.

“Hannah, I think when choosing a wedding venue, we should not only consider the scenery, but also the convenience of transportation and the service quality of the wedding planning company,” Lu Yong said earnestly.

Hannah nodded: "You're right. We can first select a few venues that we're satisfied with, and then contact local wedding planning companies to have them provide us with more detailed plans and quotes."

After discussing it, the two decided to first compile a list of wedding needs, including the wedding date, budget, style, number of guests, etc., and then select wedding venues and planning companies based on these needs.

They continued their discussion on the plane. Lu Yong took out paper and pen and began to carefully record their thoughts and plans.

Hannah offered suggestions from time to time, and the two worked together very well.

“Lu Yong, I think we could have some special elements at our wedding, such as having our family and friends record a video message of blessings to be played at the ceremony,” Hannah said.

Lu Yong's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea! We can also set up an interactive segment to get the guests involved and make the wedding more fun."

The more they discussed it, the more excited they became, as if they could already see the lively and romantic scene at the wedding.

Before they knew it, the plane had landed in their city.

Upon returning home, they immediately began wedding preparations.

Lu Yong first searched online for some reputable wedding planning companies, and then called them one by one to inquire.

Hannah was responsible for compiling the wedding needs list and also created a guest list.

They encountered various problems during their communication with the wedding planning company.

Some planning companies quoted prices that were too high, exceeding their budget; some planning companies' proposals did not match their style; and some planning companies had poor service attitudes, making them feel very dissatisfied.

"Lu Yong, I find it so hard to find a suitable wedding planning company. It seems like none of them can fully meet our needs," Hannah said, somewhat frustrated.

Lu Yong comforted her, "Don't worry, Hannah. We'll look at a few more and compare them; we'll eventually find the right one. Besides, we can also communicate with the planning company based on our own ideas and ask them to make adjustments."

So they continued their search for a suitable wedding planning company.

After some effort, they finally found a planning company that seemed relatively reliable.

The planning company's proposal had the romantic elements they liked, fit their budget, and provided excellent service.

They arranged a meeting with the head of the planning company to discuss their wedding needs and ideas in detail.

Based on their requirements, the head of the planning company provided a preliminary wedding planning proposal, including the setup of the wedding venue, the design of the wedding process, the arrangement of photography and videography, and the selection of catering.

"Lu Yong, Hannah, what do you think of this plan? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can adjust it at any time," said the head of the planning company.

Lu Yong and Hannah carefully reviewed the proposal and offered some suggestions and revisions.

The head of the planning company took notes of all their suggestions and said that they would revise the plan as soon as possible based on their feedback.

“That’s great, it feels like we’re finally making progress. But the wedding date hasn’t been set yet, we need to pick a good day quickly,” Hannah said.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, we can find a fortune teller, or refer to the auspicious days on the calendar, and choose a day that has special significance for us."

So they started looking into wedding dates again.

They looked through the calendar, searched for information about auspicious days, and discussed it with family and friends.

Ultimately, they chose an auspicious day in autumn, symbolizing that their love would be as ripe and sweet as autumn fruit.

After setting the wedding date, they began other preparations.

Lu Yong was in charge of arranging the rental of the wedding venue, while Hannah was in charge of choosing the wedding dress and suit.

They went to a bridal shop together, and Hannah tried on one wedding dress after another, each one stunningly beautiful.

"Lu Yong, what do you think of this wedding dress?" Hannah walked out of the fitting room wearing a white, floor-length wedding gown, looking like a beautiful princess.

Lu Yong stared in disbelief. He stepped forward and gently took Hannah's hand: "Hannah, you look so beautiful in this wedding dress, like you stepped out of a fairy tale."

Hannah's face beamed with happiness: "Really? Then I'll choose this one."

Besides the wedding dress, they also need to choose the best man and maid of honor's outfits, the flowers for the wedding, the music, and so on.

They personally handled every detail, striving to make the wedding as perfect as possible.

They also encountered some minor conflicts during the wedding preparations.

Regarding the style of the wedding venue, Lu Yong preferred a simple and elegant style, while Hannah preferred a romantic and glamorous style.

The two disagreed on this, and neither was willing to back down.

"Lu Yong, I think a romantic and glamorous style would better reflect the atmosphere of the wedding and let the guests feel our happiness," Hannah said somewhat angrily.

Lu Yong insisted on his point of view: "A simple and elegant style is more classic and not too complicated, making people feel more comfortable."

The two fell into a cold war and ignored each other.

However, they both knew that they both wanted to make the wedding better; they just had different opinions.

After some thought, Lu Yong decided to apologize to Hannah first.

“Hannah, I shouldn’t have argued with you. Actually, we both have our own ideas, and we both want to make the wedding perfect. Why don’t we discuss it again and see if we can combine the two styles?” Lu Yong said sincerely.

Hearing this, Hannah's anger subsided: "I was also wrong; I shouldn't have been so stubborn. Let's think of a solution together."

So they started working together to design the wedding venue.

After some discussion, they finally found a compromise that retained the simple and elegant elements while incorporating romantic and gorgeous decorations, making the entire wedding venue look both warm and grand.

As time went by, the wedding preparations were nearing completion.

Lu Yong and Hannah felt a great sense of accomplishment as they watched their wedding, which they had planned themselves, gradually take shape.

They also began to look forward to their wedding day, imagining themselves walking down the aisle amidst the blessings of family and friends.

"Lu Yong, I feel like we're building our own castle, and the wedding is the foundation stone laying ceremony for that castle," Hannah said happily, leaning against Lu Yong's chest.

Lu Yong hugged her tightly: "Yes, Hannah. From now on, we will live together in this castle and face the storms of the future together."
