On Monday, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau were also a little confused. Their energy had not yet been recovered from the laziness of the weekend, and there was a blue color floating in the air.
"The divorced ones are on the opposite side." The staff glanced at them, lowered their heads and continued to doze off.
The air cooled instantly, like a pool of stagnant water.
Lou Xi didn't say a word, but his face became sharper. His eyes were sinister, and the gaze he projected was so cold that it made people feel chilling. His long fingers took out the documents, the stamped marriage report, and the military certificate from the portfolio bag.
, ID card, etc.
The staff was dumbfounded and immediately sat upright, "No, I'm sorry, you two, please take a seat."
Lou Xi's face was expressionless, and Ye Xingchen had to squeeze out an embarrassed smile to apologize. No wonder people misunderstood, they didn't look like they were getting married. He had a stern look on her face, and she looked tense.
It feels worse than being divorced.
The staff anxiously checked the documents and then asked them to take photos.
With a red background wall and a white flash, their first group photo, which was also their wedding photo, was completed with a click.
"Lou Xi, are you willing to marry Ye Xingchen?"
"Yes." He said simply and neatly as always.
"Ye Xingchen, are you willing to marry Lou Xi?"
"willing."
The staff asked questions professionally, but their answers were so routine.
"I wish you happiness!"
The bright red official seal clicked down, and Ye Xingchen held the bright red marriage certificate, suddenly in a trance, so... they are husband and wife? It's so unreal, but so real.
I don’t know what it’s like when other people get married and get a certificate, but it’s definitely not like them. There’s no hugging, no celebrating, and they don’t even look at each other.
They walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau one after another, and the sunlight outside was suddenly dazzling.
"My family are all in Beijing, so I won't hold a wedding for the time being. I will take you to the army to have a meal on the weekend and meet everyone. I don't plan to change the house in the army, and I will buy another one in the city. I
You can't wear a ring, pick one yourself and tell me. Do you have any questions?" He covered everything, but everything was so cold.
Ye Xingchen shook his head lightly, "No."
"That's it, I have something to do in the army, so I'll leave first." He turned around to leave.
"xxx, go to hell, we will never meet again in this life!" A woman ran out of the divorce room crying and bumped into Ye Xingchen. She was caught off guard and fell backwards.
There were several steps under her feet, and Ye Xingchen thought she was doomed. However, a pair of strong arms took over her body and locked her safely in his arms.
Her breath tightened, and then she smelled the unique and refreshing smell of the man, which made her entire nervous system tense up, "Thank you, thank you."
Ye Xingchen took two steps back in panic and lowered his head silently. His ears were still filled with the heartbroken cry of the woman, "xxx, marrying you is the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life!"
Biggest mistake...
It seems like he is mocking someone.
Ye Xingchen's throat suddenly seemed to be blocked by something invisible. Was it a mistake between them? No, not even a mistake. This marriage, to put it bluntly, is just a transaction.
Lou Xi's deep eyes narrowed slightly, observing her fragile expression. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but the phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, frowning slightly, "I'll be right back!"
He glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "I'm leaving first."
"Um."
Lou Xi got into the car, quickly started the engine, and left Juechen.
Ye Xingchen froze in place and hugged himself tightly.
Everyone said that a husband, a husband, is only within one foot of each other, but why did she feel that there was so much distance between them?
◎◎◎
There was no wedding, no banquet, no wedding dress, no honeymoon, nothing. After registering, Ye Xingchen felt that apart from the psychological changes, nothing had changed in his life. Everything was going on as usual.
After Lou Xi left the Civil Affairs Bureau, there was no news. If he didn't take the initiative to contact her, she would certainly not look for him. If it weren't for the red marriage certificate, she would even think that she was having a dream. In fact, it was nothing.
None of this has ever happened.
The sun rises and sets, day after day, but what is supposed to come will always come.
On Thursday afternoon, Shu Jing was let out. In just a week, he had lost a lot of weight. Shu Rao held him and cried like a tearful person, just like the situation when they were abandoned by their parents.
Ye Xingchen felt sad and felt that everything was caused by herself, but fortunately she could still make up for it. Fortunately, Shu Jing was fine, otherwise Shu Rao would not be able to survive.
"Sister, Sister Xingchen, I'm sorry for making you worry." Shu Jing said guiltily.
Shu Rao didn't speak, just hugged him and cried. Ye Xingchen shook his head lightly, "As long as you're okay."
The three of them returned to their residence together. Shu Rao hurriedly went to the kitchen to dig out the red beans, put them in a red bag, and then put the bag under Shu Jing's pillow. There is a saying in their hometown that this can remove mold.
transport.
"Xingchen, let me put one for you. Aren't you quite unlucky a while ago?" Shu Rao walked towards her room with a tips bag.
Ye Xingchen was suddenly shocked. Her marriage certificate was under the pillow!
"No need Rao Rao, I'll do it myself!" She quickly snatched the kit from Shu Rao's hand, rushed into the room, and slammed the door.
"Xingchen?" Shu Rao knocked on the door suspiciously, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ye Xingchen replied quickly, hid the marriage certificate, then walked out with a stiff smile, and said awkwardly, "My room is a bit messy."
Shu Rao frowned in surprise, raised his hand and touched her face, "Xingchen, why are you in a trance?"
"Well... weren't you working the night shift last night? I was tired and sleepy. It's okay, just rest and you'll be fine."
Shu Rao quickly helped her sit back on the sofa, "Then you sit down for a while, I'll cook, and go to bed early after eating."
"Yes." Ye Xingchen nodded, but felt uneasy in his heart. Shu Jing was released, and Lou Xi had been helped to the end. He should call tonight, right? Then, it was her turn to fulfill her wife's obligations?
It was getting dark, and Ye Xingchen went back to her room early at Shu Rao's urging. She was lying on the bed, feeling uneasy. Before eight o'clock, her cell phone rang suddenly.
