Rebirth in the 90s: The Feisty Little Pepper

In her past life, Lin Min was forced by her adoptive parents to marry in her sister’s place. Unwilling to wed a disabled man, she turned to her childhood sweetheart for help to escape the wedding—o...

Chapter 155: Proposal

Lin Min held the flowers and went into the house with Gu Jingchuan. Under the electric light, she could see clearly that the flowers Gu Jingchuan gave her were the plastic roses sold in the wedding supplies store on the street.

They have a custom that when a girl gets engaged and the boy brings a gift, the girl has to buy this kind of plastic flowers for the boy as a token of trust, and the boy takes it and places it on the table.

Every engaged young man's home has this kind of flowers on the table.

Others can tell at first glance that she is already taken.

Lin Min pinched the leaves of the plastic rose with her hands. It was made of plastic cloth and was so lifelike that it looked no different from real flowers from a distance.

Even though it's plastic, it's still a rose.

Wow, you even know to give her roses.

Lin Min looked at Gu Jingchuan with a smile, feeling a little curious. How did he suddenly come to his senses?

Moreover, he has grown so big once he has finally figured it out!

"Where did this flower come from?" she asked, looking at him with a smile.

Gu Jingchuan said uncomfortably, "I asked Jingqi to push me to the street to buy it."

"Gu Jingchuan, where did you learn this? It's quite romantic."

Proposing to her is so trendy.

The key is that they are both “married” and even proposed!

Gu Jingchuan was embarrassed to say that Jingqi saw this on TV.

Isn't it too shameless for him, a 25-year-old man, to rely on his high school student brother for advice on how to pursue a woman?

His eyes flickered slightly, and he covered his lips and coughed softly, "I've seen it before in the military academy."

"Oh, I see. After all, we have met before."

Lin Min happily put the flowers into the vase and placed it on the table.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, we are leaving."

Gu Jingqi and Gu Jingxiu tidied up the yard, opened the door curtain, poked their heads in and spoke.

Lin Min was surprised, "Ah? Jingqi, Jingxiu, why don't you live here? What are you doing here so late at night?"

Gu Jingqi was very self-aware today. "No, no, I have something to do tonight and need to go home. Second sister-in-law, I have extinguished the honeycomb coal stove in the kang tube of the east room. You should go to bed early."

After saying that, Gu Jingqi picked up his schoolbag and the brother and sister rushed out the door.

Lin Min was still immersed in the excitement of being proposed to, and her mood could not calm down for a long time.

The corners of her mouth were raised as she kept fiddling with the bouquet of plastic roses.

The more she acted like this, the more guilty Gu Jingchuan felt. He looked a little uncomfortable. "People give real flowers. When I have the conditions in the future, I will buy them for you."

"Okay." Lin Min was in a good mood and sprinkled some water on the plastic rose to make it look more realistic.

"Let's go get the certificate tomorrow morning." Gu Jingchuan suddenly spoke from behind her.

He proposed marriage and she agreed.

The household registration booklet was also brought.

They should get a marriage certificate and become a real legal couple.

"Get the certificate?" Lin Min turned around and looked slightly surprised when he heard that.

The curve of the corners of his mouth froze.

There is no feeling of joy at all.

Her reaction made the man, who was also immersed in happiness, feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

There was a hint of darkness in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and asked cautiously, "Is it not possible?"

Lin Min realized that her reaction would be misunderstood by Gu Jingchuan. Her eyes flickered as she explained, "No, that's it. The household registration booklet is not here either."

"Dad brought it." Gu Jingchuan had a household registration book in his hand. "Dad went to your house this afternoon and brought the household registration book. Dad said that we should get the certificate quickly, otherwise we will have a long dream.

many. "

"They actually gave their household registration books to Dad obediently?"

Lin Min took the household registration booklet from Gu Jingchuan, opened it, and confirmed that it belonged to the Lin family.

Her page is on the fourth one.

The date of birth above is September 28, 1972.

My twentieth birthday has passed.

But she knew that the date of birth on it was more than a month earlier than her real birthday. Lin Min didn't know why Li Qiumei did this, perhaps to cover up and let her and Tang Jingshu

Even if someone investigates in the future, it will be clear from their birth dates that the two were not born in the same period.

Lin Min stared at her page, lost in thought.

"Dad said that your mother is not here, and the household registration booklet was given to him secretly by your mother-in-law. She will come to get it tomorrow afternoon. We only have half a day in the morning."

His words implicitly reminded her that if she didn't go to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, she wouldn't know when she would have another chance in the future.

They were going to the hospital for treatment, and he didn't want her to follow him without a name.

"Gu Jingchuan, we can't get the certificate." Lin Min moved his eyes away from the household registration book and looked at him seriously.

Can’t get a certificate…

As these four words reached his ears, Gu Jingchuan's head rumbled, his heart seemed to stop beating instantly, his whole body felt numb, and he was at a loss.

The fingertips of his hand on his thigh trembled slightly.

so?

She doesn't want to marry him?

She doesn't want to!

His fingers trembled, his fists clenched slightly, his eyes lowered, and he used a lot of effort to hide his overwhelming emotions.

The happier you were the previous moment, the more desperate you are this moment.

If she didn't want to, then why did she accept his proposal!

Besides, from the outside, they looked like a couple for a long time.

Lin Min walked over and sat next to him, feeling the change in his mood. She realized that her words were too direct and she was afraid that he might misunderstand her.

She looked at the man who was sitting there with his teeth clenched, his body tense, like a sculpture, and her heart ached.

She stretched out her slender hand, grasped his fist, then raised her other hand and pried open his clenched fist finger by finger.

She looked at the nail marks on his palm that were left by his pinching, and rubbed them gently with her thumb.

An electric current flowed through the palm of his hand and into his heart, reviving his heart that was about to stop beating.

He still kept his eyes down, not daring to look into her eyes.

But with her touch, his frozen body gradually relaxed.

Lin Min held his big palms with both hands, leaned her head towards his side, and said softly, "What I mean is that we can't get the marriage certificate for the time being, but it doesn't mean that I won't marry you. I agree to it.

I have accepted your proposal, how can I regret it? "

She spoke softly in his ear, his numb body tensed, and the blood began to flow again.

He slowly raised his eyes, met her lively eyes, and moved his lips, "Why can't we get the certificate for now?"

She is of legal age.

Gu Jingchuan remembered Lin Min’s date of birth that he had looked up in the afternoon.

She celebrated her birthday at his house, but he didn't know her birthday at the time and didn't think of asking her this question.

She never had a birthday at all.

Gu Jingchuan felt extremely regretful.

I feel like a jerk.

"Gu Jingchuan, I have a secret that I haven't told you." She looked at his increasingly solemn expression, her voice still soft, "I haven't figured out how to tell you. If I don't

Let me tell you, you must be feeling uneasy, thinking I have two minds. ”
