Chapter 270 Getting a Certificate

Su Li stared at him, her eyes misty.

Fu Jinzhou's eyes looked particularly gentle under the moonlight.

He raised his hand and stroked Su Li's face, his voice low and tender.

"Do you remember this place?"

Su Li's heart skipped a beat. How could she not remember?

That sudden, immature and tentative kiss.

She curled the corners of her lips, and in the moonlight, her smile was cunning and charming.

Without answering, Su Li stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hands, and gently held Fu Jinzhou's face.

Fu Jinzhou was stunned and his breathing stopped slightly.

The next second, soft lips pressed against his.

The movements were gentle, yet carried an unquestionable initiative.

The wind by the river seems to have a sweet taste.

After the kiss, Su Li took a step back, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes gleamed with pride.

She looked at him with a smile on her face, "I never want to suffer any loss."

The implication is that you kissed me secretly last time. This time, I must kiss you back.

Fu Jinzhou's heart was completely filled with this sudden "revenge", and the smile in his eyes was so gentle that it almost overflowed.

He reached out his hand and gently brushed her wind-blown hair.

Su Li looked at the man who would become her husband and asked softly, "Did you write me a letter ten years ago?"

She had kept this question in her heart for a long time.

Fu Jinzhou held her hand and stiffened slightly.

The air around seemed to freeze at this moment.

He looked at her, the moonlight outlining her delicate eyebrows and eyes, which were full of expectation and seemed to have a hint of nervousness.

Silence spread between the two.

After a long time, Fu Jinzhou slowly nodded.

“I have.”

His voice was a little dry, carrying the complex emotions that had been suppressed for ten years.

Ten years ago, during the difficult years in the army, his only hope was Su Li.

He wrote to her every day, writing about his life and asking about her life. It was obvious that he missed her so much, but he never mentioned it.

He thought his letters were too boring, so Su Li never replied to any of them.

He even thought that Su Li didn't want to pay attention to her at all because she had the affectionate and gentle Shao Tingan by her side.

So he deceived himself and didn't mention it.

"At that time..." Fu Jinzhou looked off into the distance, as if lost in distant memories. His voice was low and slow. "When I knew you were going to the countryside, I... wanted to go with you."

His voice was filled with the passionate and obsessive love of his youth.

"I went to my father and begged him to let me go to the countryside as well."

"He locked me in the house for three days."

"I refused to eat or drink, hoping he would change his mind."

Su Li felt a tightness in her chest and a little suffocated.

She never thought that in the past, unknown to her, Fu Jinzhou had done so much to get close to her.

"What happened next?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"Later..." Fu Jinzhou smiled bitterly, "I agreed to join the army. The only condition was that I could see you off at the station."

Just to be able to see her one more time and to personally send her off on that unknown journey.

Su Li's eyes instantly became moist.

It turned out that the person who seemed familiar to her but flashed by in the crowd of people bidding farewell at the station was really him.

"Life was tough in the army," Fu Jinzhou said, his voice tinged with fatigue. "Training, missions, every day was exhausting."

"But what's even more painful is... missing you."

"I really do. I really do."

He repeated, and each word seemed to be dug out from the deepest part of his heart, carrying a heavy weight.

"I wrote you many letters, but each time I hesitated for a long time before putting a stamp on them and sending them to that little mountain village I longed for so much."

Fu Jinzhou's voice became lower and lower, and he stopped talking. He knew that the more he spoke at this moment, the more uncomfortable Su Li would feel.

"It's okay, it's all over. What matters is that you're by my side."

The night wind blew, blowing up the corners of his clothes and hurting Su Li's heart.

She finally understood that during those ten years, he was not only guarding her silently, but also waiting for her patiently.

Those letters that she had forgotten in the corner, and perhaps never received, carried with them so many lonely days and nights, and so much hopeless longing.

Su Li raised her hand, trembling, and gently stroked his angular cheek.

Tears silently fall.

"I'm sorry..." She choked, "Jinzhou... I'm sorry..."

It was her negligence and the trick of fate that made them miss each other for a whole ten years.

"Some of those letters are still at Zhao Xinran's house. I will find a chance to get them back."

Fu Jinzhou shook his head. "It doesn't matter. If you want to read those letters, I have plenty more."

Su Li was surprised, "What else?"

Fu Jinzhou nodded slightly, "Yes, quite a lot."

"I want to see it."

"Okay, after we get the certificate tomorrow, I'll take you back to see it."

The tears on Su Li's face met the moonlight and shone into Fu Jinzhou's heart.

His happiness at this moment far outweighs his previous pain, and all good things are worth waiting for!

The next day, the early morning sun was warm but not harsh.

Fu Jinzhou appeared at the gate of the Su family courtyard on time.

On the big day of getting the marriage certificate, everyone was very serious.

Su Li was wearing a newly bought beige dress, and her long hair was tied behind her head with a simple ribbon, which was simple and dignified.

She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Fu Jinzhou leaned against the car door, his deep gaze falling on her, with the lingering tenderness from last night and a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

He also changed into a neat Dacron shirt and black trousers today, and stood tall and straight.

Kang Ping stood aside, looking at the two of them with a smile. If you didn't know, you would have thought he was getting married today.

Seeing Su Li coming out, he uttered after a long pause: "Su Li, Brother Fu, congratulations!"

"Let's go." Fu Jinzhou opened the car door and said in a low voice.

Su Li nodded, got into the car and looked at the man bending down to get in. She felt a sense of peace in her heart that she had never felt before.

The car started smoothly and drove towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

On the way, neither of them spoke.

The air in the carriage was not dull, but instead filled with a subtle sense of anticipation.

Su Li turned her head and looked at Fu Jinzhou who was sitting upright. His face was angular and his eyes were fixed on the front.

She raised her hand and held Fu Jinzhou's hand. The man, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually nervous.

Su Li understands him!

Feeling Su Li's delicate hand, Fu Jinzhou turned to look at her and held her hand with his backhand.

Look at each other and smile!

There are not many people in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Fill out the form, sign, and put your fingerprints on it.

The process was simple and quick, and the staff went about their business as usual without even looking up.

But for Su Li and Fu Jinzhou, every step felt like walking on clouds, with an unreal sense of solemnity.

She looked at the two names "Fu Jinzhou" and "Su Li" close together on the marriage certificate, and her eyes felt slightly warm.

This was the first time in her life that she felt happiness so clearly!

As I walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sun was shining brightly.

Su Li held the marriage certificate, exerting a little force on her fingertips, as if trying to hold on to this sense of security.

Fu Jinzhou took the ID from her hand and put it carefully into his inner pocket together with his own ID card, his movements very solemn.

"Get in the car."

"Where are we going?" Su Li was a little confused.

Fu Jinzhou smiled and said, "Kangping, go to the Education Bureau."

"Education Bureau."

Su Li was stunned, and then she understood instantly.

He was going to seek justice for her.
