Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door-Chapter 423 - 422: Getting the Marriage Certificate
Zhao Meimei laughed so hard she couldn’t close her mouth, her eyes filled with the joy of happiness and triumph, grabbing Peng Hui and Qian Simeng, she whispered, "Tomorrow is May 20th, I’m going with my brother to register our marriage."
Peng Hui and Qian Simeng both had shocked expressions, practically incredulous. At that time, cohabitation was already quite a fashionable thing, and now Zhao Meimei hadn’t even graduated from university and was planning to get married, so it’s no wonder they were a little slow to react.
Qian Simeng gave a thumbs up, "Meimei, you are my idol from now on, really. They say marriage is the second starting line in life, and our race hasn’t even started yet, and you’ve already left us behind."
Zhao Meimei giggled, "Enough with the small talk. Registering for a certificate means getting married, you guys better prepare some gifts for me! I’ll take the morning off to rest after asking Mr. Zhang for leave, but I’ll be back for the elective class in the afternoon. Make sure you have a gift ready by then!"
Peng Hui reached out and pinched Zhao Meimei’s cheek, "Do you directly ask friends for gifts like that? Just make your face a bit bigger!"
Zhao Meimei laughed heartily, truly happy from the bottom of her heart. The long-running love marathon over the years was finally about to bear fruit, there was no way she couldn’t be happy.
During the noon break, Zhao Meimei purposely went to the teacher’s office to find Zhang Jiahui.
When Zhang Jiahui learned the reason for Zhao Meimei’s leave, her expression wasn’t much more composed than Peng Hui and the others, it took quite a while before she squeezed out a sentence, "Meimei, congratulations to you both, no problem, I’ll approve the morning leave for you, but there’s an elective class in the afternoon that you have to attend, otherwise your grade for this subject could be in jeopardy."
After thanking her, Zhao Meimei walked out of the office with light steps.
Zhang Jiahui watched her back in a daze for a while, then sighed deeply, feeling an indescribable sense of loss or melancholy growing in her heart. After all, it’s a love she had kept in her heart for nearly ten years, it’s not something one can just forget and let go of easily.
Just then, a colleague from the same office walked in from outside, and reminded her, "Xiao Zhang, is that your phone ringing?"
Zhang Jiahui snapped back to reality, "Hmm?... Ah, it’s mine."
Zhang Jiahui answered the phone, "Hello."
Xu Hongbin’s voice came through the receiver, "Xiao Hui, do you have time tonight? I heard there’s a new Japanese restaurant opened in the West District with your favorite tonkotsu ramen, want to try it?"
Zhang Jiahui instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words turned around at her lips and inexplicably turned into, "Sure."
In May, the rain came in drizzles for days on end. The night before, Zhao Meimei, just before falling asleep, had leaned against the window watching the endless drizzle outside and complained to Shi Yang, "Brother, can’t the weather just clear up? It’s been raining so much I feel like we’re all going to rust." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
But on May 20th, when Zhao Meimei opened her eyes in the morning, the bright sunshine outside couldn’t be blocked by the curtains and poured warmly into the room, making everything feel exceptionally comfortable.
Zhao Meimei stretched lazily, hugging Shi Yang and remarked, "Brother, even the weather is on our side, knowing we’re going to register today, it’s given us a sunny day."
Shi Yang smiled and said, "Isn’t that true? Wake up and let’s get going early to queue up, today is a special day, there will definitely be a lot of people registering."
When Zhao Meimei and Shi Yang arrived, there were already more than a dozen couples lined up ahead, forming a long line of people in the hall, couples standing close together.
Throughout the way, Zhao Meimei held Shi Yang’s hand tightly, extremely excited, but as they truly entered the hall, she started to feel a little nervous again.
Shi Yang sensed that Zhao Meimei’s palm had become sweaty, and he couldn’t help but smile, his fingers intertwined with hers, rubbing her palm gently, and asked softly, "Nervous?"
Zhao Meimei nodded, "Brother, just by paying, we can get the certificate, right? Will they refuse us?"
Shi Yang couldn’t help but hold her close, ruffling her hair, "No, they won’t. I brought all the documents."
Zhao Meimei let out a sigh of relief, holding on to Shi Yang’s hand, and stood waiting for a while. Bored, she began to look around at the other couples here to register with them on the same day.
Standing side by side in the hall, Zhao Meimei and Shi Yang stood out very much. Shi Yang was tall, with a slender build, and indeed handsome, making the variety of grooms around look like they didn’t stand a chance.
Zhao Meimei feels overly expectant and nervous, holding onto Shi Yang’s hand tightly all the way, appearing both sweet and gentle. The couple matched perfectly, looking especially pleasing to the eye.
Finally, after queuing for a long time, it was their turn. Zhao Meimei followed behind Shi Yang, watching him fill out the forms and then went with the staff to take photos with the stamped forms.
Zhao Meimei was wearing a light blue ruffled shirt, and Shi Yang wore a shirt of the same color. The clothes were chosen long ago, just to match as a couple’s outfit for the wedding photos.
Sitting side by side on the chair, Shi Yang held Zhao Meimei’s hand, their fingers interlocked, their shoulders touching, and heads slightly tilted closer.
The photographer said, "Hey, beautiful, your smile is too big, tone it down a bit."
Zhao Meimei mumbled, "I’m happy, I can’t control myself."
Shi Yang was uplifted by Zhao Meimei’s words, a wave of joyful emotion spreading in his heart, feeling absolutely wonderful.
The photo was developed on the spot, the two intimately leaned together, smiling brilliantly and happily.
Zhao Meimei carefully examined the photo, "This photo turned out so well, we match perfectly."
Hearing this, Shi Yang smiled, charming and dashing, seized the moment as no one was watching while they walked around the corner, and quickly pecked Zhao Meimei on the cheek.
Their lips barely touched before they separated, then quickly turning their heads to check behind them, confirming no one noticed, they couldn’t help but smile at each other, feeling incredibly happy and blissful.
They took the photo to the counter, paid and got the certificate; the staff smilingly stamped the marriage certificate and handed it over, formally saying, "Congratulations to you both."
Shi Yang timely handed out the candies Liu Xiue had prepared to all the staff in thanks, then, amidst a wave of congratulatory blessings, took Zhao Meimei to the main hall to take their vows.
The two held their vows, standing on the platform, reciting word by word after the staff, then took a few more commemorative photos. As they truly walked out of the hall holding the photos, Zhao Meimei couldn’t hold back and giggled out loud, "Oh my, brother, you’re finally mine completely."
Shi Yang also laughed, his eyes doting, gently pinching Zhao Meimei’s cheek, "Already yours, shouldn’t you call me something nice?"
Zhao Meimei joyfully complied, "Husband, hello, husband, please take care of me from now on."
Shi Yang’s mouth curved with a carefree smile, "Wife, don’t worry, your husband will surely take good care of you."
Zhao Meimei smiled and asked, "Take care of me for life?"
Shi Yang earnestly promised, "I’ll cherish you for a lifetime, wife, I love you."
Zhao Meimei’s eyes suddenly blurred, and the joy of achieving what she wanted welled up, making her suddenly emotional, choking up with tears of happiness reddening her eyes, nearly unable to hold back tears of joy...
