Qin Xue placed her hands on her chest and quietly watched Chen Cixiu and the exceptionally beautiful woman.

She always felt that Chen Cixiu had hired someone to put on an act for her. No one understood Chen Cixiu's upbringing better than her. For twenty-two years, he had always been the "other people's child" in the eyes of parents. In high school, some people would climb over the wall to go online, but he wouldn't. He would sit obediently in the classroom to review his studies, and then rest for thirty minutes to wait for get out of class to end.

When he was in college, while others played games in their dorm rooms or went to internet cafes, he didn't. Instead, he focused on mastering each of his major courses bit by bit.

He was always so obedient to his own parents, and even more humble towards her parents. He was like the most traditional boy created by Nuwa, just like a true gentleman in ancient times.

But now, he has taken away his roses and said to this woman who has never appeared in their world, "We promised to get married after graduation, and I won't break my promise."

Such words could not have come from Chen Cixiu's mouth.

He simply wanted to reject her, but Qin Xue wouldn't let him succeed.

Qin Xue, arms crossed, looked at Chen Cixiu with a playful expression, her eyes seemingly saying, "Continue."

The woman seemed to sense her confidence and said to Chen Cixiu, "The Civil Affairs Bureau is open right now, shall we go?"

Chen Cixiu's gaze drifted to Qin Xue. Seeing her determined eyes, he knew that he wouldn't be able to let things go without going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with this exceptionally beautiful woman in front of him.

“Okay,” Chen Cixiu blurted out.

If you're going to put on an act, go all the way. I'll thank this woman later after I've gotten rid of Qin Xue.

But to his surprise, Qin Xue suddenly acted up, "Perfect! The Civil Affairs Bureau is only 500 meters from the school gate, why don't we go take a look together?"

She also greeted her other classmates, especially her best friend.

Qin Xue leaned close to Chen Cixiu, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "Cixiu, that's enough. This farce should end. Your parents and my parents have always said that we should get married when we grow up. You can just reject me now and we can get together after everyone leaves. Otherwise, how will we end this later?"

Chen Cixiu was so angry at Qin Xue's idiotic thought process that he laughed.

She started all of this, making it seem like she's some kind of noble and virtuous person now.

However, he was also taken aback. He really didn't know that the Civil Affairs Bureau was only 500 meters away from the gate of Jiangbei University. These talented young men and women from Jiangbei University would probably have to crawl to see this farce today.

The woman grabbed Chen Cixiu's arm and linked it with his: "Let's go."

Chen Cixiu lowered his head, and she, who was half a head shorter than him, whispered in his ear, "How about we just forget about it? I don't want to embarrass you later. Thanks for helping me out, but I'll just go home and have my parents give me a good scolding."

The woman looked up, her bright red lips almost touching his.

This scene deeply moved the twenty-two-year-old men and women.

Isn't this a plot from an idol drama coming true? The mutual entanglement between the male and female leads is just too much of an ambiguous relationship.

"Didn't you say you were going to get married? The wedding hasn't happened yet. Let's go."

She held his hand tightly and didn't let go. They walked all the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Chen Cixiu had no idea how long they had walked, but it must have really only been about 500 meters.

He entered the lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau under Qin Xue's watchful gaze.

The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau had never seen anything like it before. A huge crowd of students in graduation gowns had come in, and the hall was overflowing with seats.

Everyone's saying this year has the lowest marriage rate ever. What's going on? Is it like going from school uniform to wedding dress in a movie where you go straight from the school gate to the marriage registry after graduation?

The large number of people caused some minor congestion, but thanks to the efforts of the staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau, the congestion was not prolonged.

But they managed to trap Chen Cixiu and that woman inside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"How about we call it quits? That's too unfair to you," Chen Cixiu said quietly, looking at their number for getting their marriage certificate.

"No, I said it, and I will do it." The older sister seemed not to mind at all, but it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or sad in her voice.

They were watched as they took their marriage certificate photos and were watched as they walked to the marriage counter.

At this moment, Qin Xue's face still held a mocking expression.

He wouldn't do anything rebellious against Uncle Chen and Aunt Wu. If they really stamped it, Uncle Chen and Aunt Wu would definitely teach him a lesson.

Chen Cixiu's image as a good boy over the years has been deeply ingrained in her mind.

"It's wonderful that you two are getting married, with so many classmates here to celebrate with you." The staff at the counter, having learned a bit about it, were also somewhat disappointed. It seems that young people these days are still a little disillusioned with love.

Otherwise, with so many talented couples, why would only one couple register?

Chen Cixiu gave a bitter smile.

"May I ask one more question? Are you two getting married voluntarily?"

This is the workflow.

Chen Cixiu and the woman exchanged a glance. Coincidentally, because he was sitting inside, the glance he made with his sister revealed the mocking look in Qin Xue's eyes. He was extremely annoyed; this woman was crazy.

I wonder what Uncle Qin will do when he finds out?

"Knot."

Chen Cixiu was resolute.

Upon hearing the powerful word "knot," Qin Xue's entire body suddenly trembled.

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, it was voluntary."

The staff stamped the document and smiled as they said to the newlyweds, "Congratulations on your marriage!"

"So, they really got married?"

"What about Qin Xue?"

"Wow, Chen Cixiu, when did you start dating secretly? Why didn't we know anything about it?"

The classmates were all stunned.

Chen Cixiu actually got his marriage certificate on graduation day.

And it was a woman who drove a Ferrari who came to him to get married.

Chen Cixiu's mind was blank. Damn it, he'd really messed up. Because of this woman, Qin Xue, he'd entered the grave of marriage. But to be fair, his wife was really beautiful.

She just celebrated her 22nd birthday yesterday and got married today. Who wouldn't say that's awesome?

"I still have work to do. We'll move after I get off work."

The woman held the marriage certificate, glanced at it, and then smiled. She was really beautiful.

"Ah, oh." Chen Cixiu hadn't reacted yet.

Qin Xue clenched her fists as she watched Chen Cixiu watch the woman leave. She had ruined everything. What would happen if her parents found out she was pregnant? What would become of her life?

"Alright, aren't you guys annoying? Can't you see my buddy's getting married? Sixth brother, can you return my graduation gown? Everyone, go home." Chen Cixiu handed the graduation gown to his best friend and quickly slipped away.

This place is not safe to stay for long.

After running to the subway station, he took out his marriage certificate and glanced at it.

Jiang Yu.

September 28, 1996.

He is six years older than him.
