Liang Beihai suffers a double...

Chapter 20

◎Don't try this◎

In the end, it became a vacation for Liang Beihai's parents. They took A Yu, who had finished his tutoring, and his aunt, who had taken annual leave, to play around the area. This made Liang Beihai, who had returned to school to give a report, very angry.

In the last few days, Liang Hanjie returned home early, and Liang Beihai and Feng Chuqian stayed in the hotel for a few more days. Liang Hanjie would cook three meals a day for Liang Beihai, and he and Luo had a neither-so-close relationship.

"How many relationships have you had before?" Feng Chuqian suddenly asked at the dinner table.

Liang Beihai knew that his mother was concerned about him, but this was very disrespectful to Luo. He also felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but speak out to stop his mother.

Luo De whispered to Liang Beihai that everything was fine.

"I had a relationship during my undergraduate studies, but because my classmates were foreigners, there were some cultural differences between us, so we didn't end up staying together."

Feng Chuqian was quite satisfied with Luo's answer, and didn't want to embarrass Liang Beihai, so she didn't ask any more questions: "I have booked a flight for tomorrow and will be back tomorrow."

"Mother"

"Seeing that you've been happy with your studies and work lately, Mom is relieved. We still have time in the second half of the year, so it's up to you to go home or Mom to come over. Things are pretty good at home lately, so just focus on your studies and don't take any other part-time jobs. It's winter and your hands might hurt again." Feng Chuqian said as she picked up some food for Liang Beihai. "I've also made some food for you in the fridge. If you want anything, Mom will make some more for you."

"You've eaten enough these past few days, don't work so hard, Mom. Besides, the part-time job pays pretty good now. Boss Luo is very generous, and my mentor thinks I can learn something from the company. I think I can go back on Mom's birthday and celebrate it for you, hehe."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I will pay attention to Beibei's hand. She has been taking kendo lessons again recently. I have contacted a masseur and will have her come regularly."

When Liang Beihai heard Luo's mention of kendo class, it was too late to stop him. She did not tell her parents about it because her hands were not in a good condition to withstand intense training, but she really liked it and did not want to give up.

So she looked at Feng Chuqian with an innocent face.

Feng Chuqian sighed. Because Luo was still a little unhappy but couldn't show it, she asked the two of them to send her back to the hotel. Because he had to send Feng Chuqian off the next morning, Liang Beihai packed up his things at the hotel and went home to sleep.

"You deliberately told Mom I was going to kendo class, didn't you?" Liang Beihai asked Luo on the way home. She couldn't think of a reason, so she told him the most outrageous guess. "Is it because I was talking to that boy? You looked so ugly at that time."

"I was indeed a little jealous about that matter, but I really didn't mean it today. I was a little unhappy at the time, so I didn't think about it. Maybe you don't want to tell your mother." Luo was a little embarrassed, but he knew Liang Beihai would ask, so he had been thinking about it in his mind for a while.

"Why are you unhappy? Because my mother asked about your past. She didn't mean to pry into anything, she just wanted to stand up for me. I'm apologizing to you on her behalf."

"That's not it." Luo De knew Liang Beihai had misjudged him and rubbed his hair in frustration. "I'm actually quite awkward, but now I want to have a good relationship with you, so it's better to talk about everything. I'm unhappy because you didn't react at all when I mentioned my previous relationship."

Liang Beihai was amused by his confession. He had told Luo before that he hated his dishonesty, but now it seemed that he was being too honest.

"What I'm actually thinking is why we couldn't continue to be together. I would be very happy if you could be happy sooner. Even if the person you are with is not me, I would be very happy if you can be happy. This is what I have been thinking for the past few years. When I can't see you, I just hope you can be happy."

"Sometimes I doubt whether you've ever truly lived on this Earth. Beibei, you're making me seem jealous and petty."

"No, I'm happy that you're jealous too."

When the New Year was approaching, Luo went on a business trip for the company. He was supposed to come back on New Year's Eve but encountered a snowstorm.

Liang Beihai went to the company to do some homework in the morning and wanted to wait for Luo to come back and go home together. However, she learned that the cars were stopped due to the snowstorm and she couldn't get back, so she simply finished all the remaining homework in the company.

When Liang Beihai finished his work, it was already dark outside. He turned on his phone and found that there was no message from Luo, whom he had called a few hours ago. An outrageous thought flashed through his mind, but when he saw the university outside, he gave up his guess.

Liang Beihai sent a message to Luo reminding him not to forget to have a good meal in the evening, and then packed up and prepared to go home.

Because Liang Beihai was the only one in the entire company, she quickly turned her head when she heard the sound of the elevator arriving, and picked up the stapler on the table.

Then came the reminder of the mobile phone message and the sound of footsteps, and the voice-controlled light also lit up. Liang Beihai saw Luo outside the glass door, wearing a coat with residual snow on his body.

Liang Beihai thought this was outrageous and impossible to happen five minutes ago, but now it really happened.

Luo used his fingerprint to open the company's access control, took off his coat and scarf, and hugged Liang Beihai who was running over.

"Baby, it's a little cold."

"Why did you rush back? Didn't the car stop?" Liang Beihai felt the coldness emanating from Luo's body and buried his face in his chest.

"How could we not spend the first New Year together? I rented a car and came back. I didn't dare tell you on the way back because I was afraid you wouldn't let me go. I saw the surveillance footage and you were still at the company, so I came here."

"Surveillance? Where is the surveillance?" Liang Beihai's focus was a little different. He wanted to push Luo away and hug him because he was not in the surveillance.

"Only my phone can see it. Let me hold you for a while."

Because the shops were closed, the two went straight home. Luo went to the kitchen to see what ingredients were available: "They told me to eat well, but I didn't prepare anything myself."

"I was thinking that if you came back we could go to the supermarket together. We still have some food, so let's have hot pot. It's hot."

Luo De closed the refrigerator and reached out to Liang Beihai. Liang Beihai held his hand and was pulled into his arms. Luo De took out a necklace from his pocket and put it around Liang Beihai's neck.

"I saw this custom shop before I went there, and I ordered it on the first day. I got it yesterday, and I thought I would give it to you today. Do you like it?"

"I like it. Thank you, husband." Liang Beihai always spoke sweetly at such times.

"Beibei, let's go back to China and get married. I'm going to formally propose to you now, but you don't have to agree immediately. I already have a ring, so I decided on this necklace. There are no flowers today, but I still want to..."

"Okay, I'll agree for the necklace's sake. But there's a problem. We don't have ID photos."

Luo, who just realized that they needed to prepare two ID photos to register for marriage, began to check the ID photo requirements in a hurry after dinner, and booked a flight back to China the next day. Because it was not the Lunar New Year and China was only closed on New Year's Day, they did not need to rush to go back tomorrow and could go on the morning of the 2nd.

They comforted each other, saying they had been married once before and shouldn't be too nervous, just take it easy. But they still couldn't sleep. They simply got up and packed their bags, as both sets of parents had assumed they were married and their friends knew about it, so there was no one special to notify. They could just go and get it done.

Liang Beihai was packing her things while putting on a facial mask, regretting that she shouldn't have eaten spicy hot pot in the evening. She asked Luo to buy her an iced American coffee before leaving for the airport tomorrow.

The next day, they still took ID photos with dark circles under their eyes. The sister who was doing makeup knew that they were going to get the marriage certificate the next day and joked that Liang Beihai, who was dozing off while putting on makeup, was too nervous about getting married and didn't sleep well.

When they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau on the third day, both of them had not slept much for two days. The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau asked them what was wrong.

"We decided to get married on the spur of the moment because we were too nervous after just coming back." Luo explained with an apologetic smile, took the marriage certificate with the seal, and left some local specialties he brought back from his business trip as wedding candy for the staff.

The staff thought that his appointment number was made half a month ago, so it couldn't be a last-minute decision.

After walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Liang Beihai was still looking at the red book he had just obtained.

"Wow, I still can't believe it when I actually got it. I didn't feel it was real before." Liang Beihai carefully examined the red book, and suddenly remembered something and patted Luo's face: "I know who I should tell first."

As two people who have been married once and whose close friends all know about it, Luo really can't think of anyone else who has not been notified.

"Can you still log into your game account? I want to tell the captain of my team at the time that he was the first person in the world who wanted us to get married."

Luo remembered that they had been working as a three-person team in the game before. At that time, a regular player mistook them for a couple, and was very much looking forward to them getting married. He left a long message in the message section of their three-person team, wishing that the two would become husband and wife.

Later, Liang Beihai sold his account, and Luo soon stopped playing. The team leader at the time even asked them vaguely if there was a problem or what happened, but Luo didn't know how to answer and didn't reply.

"He's definitely not the first person in the world who wants us to get married."

"Who was that? I had no desire for us to get married."

"Of course it's me." Luo De took the marriage certificate and knocked Liang Beihai on the head.

"Don't try to play tricks on me. I won't fall for it." What happened at that time has been gone with the wind. It doesn't matter whether Luo thought about it or not. What matters is that at this moment they have finally triggered the plot with a good ending.
