Beauty takes time. Three hours later, the two walked out of the mall after getting their nails done and buying a shop along the way.

Schereschewsky brought his fingers together, shaping the tips of his fingers slightly thinner and longer. The final effect wasn't as translucent as a magnetic cat's eye. After applying a matte top coat, it would only shimmer with a little purple iridescence when moved.

"This color is really beautiful."

Purple is the most beautiful color.

Shi Jinzhe also chimed in, "Beautiful. Beautiful hands."

Shech was still admiring it even after he got home.

There are some things she doesn't mention, so Shi Jinzhe pretends not to know. She doesn't cling to Shehe either. She goes into the room to take a shower, then lies down on the bed without saying a word, closes her eyes, and waits for someone to fall asleep.

As long as Sheikh can't see him for the time being, he won't remember about changing rooms to sleep, and the plan works.

Sher returned from the swimming pool downstairs, had someone cook him a late-night snack, and after eating, he came back to find Shi Jinzhe lying on the bed without saying anything, quietly leaning against the headboard.

The lamp was dimmed to its lowest setting, and in the darkness of the night, the color leaned towards black. Unable to find any reference point, Scheher simply moved to the other end of the bed and slapped his hand down.

"I know you're not asleep, look at me."

Shi Jinzhe obeyed and opened his eyes, looking at the hand pressing down on his chest.

He would bend his five fingers and straighten them again, and each time he bent them, his fingernails would scratch his body, wrinkling his pajamas.

He couldn't figure out what Shekh was up to. With her long fingernails pressed against her chest as if she were about to rip out her heart, he felt that it would be more appropriate to shove a poisoned apple into her hand.

Shekh held up his palm. "Give me a compliment."

Time is running out: ...

I thought it was something serious.

"If the person who created this color knew you would use it someday, they would definitely regret not naming it after you."

“Go on.”

"Flowers are purple, gems are purple, stars are purple, but only on your fingertips and in your eyes can their most radiant beauty be revealed."

"Is there anything else?"

"This is my wife's and my favorite color; it's absolutely gorgeous."

"Wait a minute."

These words brought back that strange urge to eat something, and Shekh's mouth felt empty; he felt he had to have something.

The feeling was like gears not fitting properly, like squares with uneven sides, like a lid that wasn't tightened properly, like an eraser that didn't erase the last stroke cleanly. She had to fix everything to feel at ease, otherwise she would keep thinking about it.

She peered at Shi Jinzhe through the semi-transparent ribbon, her eyes fixed on her prey. "I'm so tempted by you, can I take a bite?"

When his gaze shifted to the folded hand, he said, "This is fine, no need to bite my neck."

She couldn't bite it last time, but this time she really couldn't resist.

Shi Jinzhe raised one hand and placed the palm side against Sheh's lips, but she pushed the hand away and only held one finger.

Then he opened his mouth, carefully avoiding the two fangs, and bit down with only his front teeth. The moment his mouth closed, the feeling of emptiness in his heart was partially relieved.

Shekh involuntarily extended his snake tail, let out a soft sigh, and bit forward another finger joint.

She bit down a little too hard, and Shi Jinzhe couldn't resist pushing it in a little further.

When I came to my senses, my fingers felt as if they had slipped into unwhipped cream, and were already touching the moist, smooth part of my tongue.

Seeing that she didn't show any signs of discomfort, Shi Jinzhe had no choice but to ask, "Are you alright...?"

Shekh loosened his teeth. "Did I hurt you?"

As he was about to pull his hand away, his fingertip was licked.

"No." He closed his eyes. "I want to rest tonight..."

"What does it matter?"

"Yes, if I don't sleep well, I won't be in good condition, and if I'm not in good condition, the photos I take won't look good. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so I want to take care of my mental state."

Shekh was still holding his hand: "But I didn't stop you from sleeping."

"I'm not saying no, but if you bite me again with that action and that look, I won't want to sleep." Shi Jinzhe pulled the blanket over himself.

"Go to sleep."

"oh."

...

the next day.

The marriage registration office staff arrived with computers and cameras, feigning composure to mask their overwhelming amazement at the artificial island's natural beauty.

Tell the people who come over to ask fewer questions and do more work, follow the normal procedures, don't ask any random questions, just do what the homeowner tells you to do.

The staff member with her hair tied in a low ponytail held a stack of papers in her hand and whispered to her colleague, "Given this living environment, I think I know where that huge sum of money in the charity box at the registration office came from."

"You just found out?" said the colleague holding the camera. "It's not just that; they also donated a lot of money directly to the civil affairs department for public welfare."

With her hair in a low ponytail, she sighed, "Marriage really is expensive. I think I'll stay single. I can't afford it..."

Upon entering the villa, the maid, who could only work three hours a day, finally had something to do and led the two to the reception room.

There, they met the mysterious engaged couple.

My colleague stopped in his tracks and thought to himself, "Damn it."

The woman with the low ponytail didn't notice anything unusual about him and continued walking inside.

Sheikh rarely wore a light-colored short skirt, but because Shi Jinzhe was wearing a gray tie, she insisted that it should complement the outfit better.

The light color makes her look light and cheerful. I looked at her several times with her low ponytail before I remembered to remind Shekh not to cover her facial features.

But her colleague pulled her back just in time, saying, "After you've adjusted the camera's angle and position, go outside first, and we'll come back in after you're done taking the picture."

The girl with the low ponytail asked, "Will this work?"

"Listen to me." The colleague put away the forms and glanced back at the two of them before leaving the meeting room.

Unexpectedly, his eyes met Shi Jinzhe's, and he quickly turned around and walked away.

Good heavens, he's just a small-time gamer who likes to browse forums and gossip, and he actually ran into a gaming pro!

What's the probability of that?

He walked to the window, took out his phone, and commented loudly on the discussion thread about whether Shekh was a player, an item, or a boss.

"They're definitely gamers, because I took their wedding photos!!"

Five minutes later, a message popped up.

OP: [You're just bragging. This girl has been pursuing me for days. She's a snake, a dungeon boss. If we were to get married, I'd eat your shoe soles and poop upside down.]

"Then you can eat it. I guarantee you won't get away."

"Player?"

My colleague's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

Sheikh stood silently behind him, having arrived without his noticing.

"I...I..." I couldn't give a coherent answer.

He acted impulsively. Will saying that on the forum offend the big shots?

On such a joyous day, she was so calm, without even a smile... She must have been truly unhappy.

"Hands out."

The colleague dared not disobey, so he obediently reached out and received a few candies in his palm.

Shekh gave him the candy and then turned and left.

It took him a while to realize that what he was holding was wedding candy.
