The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"We are so happy. This certificate was not easy to come by."

The two spoke to the staff in unison.

The staff was also moved by the tacit understanding between the two. "That's great! Good things take time, and there is hardship before sweetness. I wish you happiness."

"Thanks!"

"Thanks!"

The two of them spoke in unison and stood up from their chairs at the same time.

"Shumei, we are now officially husband and wife. I'm going to take care of things at the store now and close it for a few days to prepare for the wedding. You can ride your bike back first. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Here, here are the keys to the house, take them."

"Okay, oh, by the way, why don't I see Xiao Youchen?" Shumei took the key and put it in her pocket. Now she and Boyi are a family, of course there is no distinction between you and me, and Boyi's home is also her own home.

The two walked and talked as they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Oh! He has to go to school, so I asked Qianqian to pick him up. The shop I opened this time is very close to Qianqian's barber shop, just a few doors away."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. I haven't seen Qianqian for so long, I should go see her. How about this! I'll go with you to the store and see if there's anything I can help with."

"That's fine too. Come on, get in the car."

The two rode their bicycles to Boyi's shop.

In fact, there was nothing much to buy in the Boyi store. He just wanted to buy some things for his wedding and take them back on the tricycle tomorrow.

The two came to the door of Qianqian's barber shop. When Qianqian saw Boyi coming back, she ran out excitedly to greet him.

"Boyi, you're back. Home..." She was originally concerned about whether something happened at Boyi's home.

But before she could finish, Shumei's familiar face forced her to change the subject.

Boyi stopped the bike and Shumei jumped off the back seat.

"Sister Shumei?"

"Qianqian, are you okay? I miss you so much."

Shumei always thought that Qianqian was her best sister. When they met, she rushed over and hugged Qianqian.

Qianqian was obviously a little at a loss as to what to do with Shumei's sudden appearance. She stood there in a daze, her expression a little embarrassed.

"Sister Shumei, when did you come back?"

"Well—yesterday!"

"Are you—are you all right?"

Shumei pulled herself out of Qianqian's arms and turned around in front of Qianqian.

"See! At least you won't die now."

Shumei is back and her illness is cured. Qianqian should be happy, but she just can't be happy.

Shumei's return meant that she could no longer take care of Boyi with a legitimate reason. She could only watch from afar as he and Shumei flirted with each other.

She completely retreated to the second line and became the invisible person behind Boyi.

Boyi saw that the two sisters were as close as ever, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"I'm glad you're back. Come on, come in and sit down. You've been worrying about Brother Boyi for a long time."

Qianqian came back to her senses, forced a smile, and welcomed Shumei into the house. The two of them sat on the sofa hand in hand, looking at each other lovingly like a pair of lovers who had met again after a long separation.

"Qianqian, you've lost weight."

"You're still talking about me. Haven't you lost a lot of weight and looked a lot more haggard?"

How can I not look haggard? I haven't slept all night!

Shumei was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She had been so moved by so many things today that her eyes were red from crying. Adding to that the lack of rest she had last night, her eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

"By the way, I have something important to tell you."

"What's the big deal? It's so mysterious."

Shumei took out the marriage certificate from her pocket and handed it to Qianqian.

"Marriage certificate?" Qianqian read the words on the cover, looked up at Shumei, and then looked at Boyi who was leaning against the door frame.

Shumei couldn't wait to urge Qianqian, "Open it quickly and take a look."

Qianqian's hands were shaking, but in fact she had already guessed about 80% of the answer.

She had anticipated such an outcome a long time ago, but when the day finally came, she realized that she was not as strong as she had imagined. Her heart ached so much, the kind of pain that pierced her bones. But it was obviously painful, and she wanted to cry out loud, but she had to pretend to be very happy.

She slowly opened the marriage certificate, on which were written the names of Kang Shumei and Tang Boyi. Those two names were like poisonous needles, stinging her eyes and hurting them.

She lowered her head, not wanting Shumei and Boyi to see her abnormal expression.

"Have you got your marriage certificate?"

Qianqian squeezed out a few words from her lips, the voice was so soft that even she herself could not hear it clearly.

"Well! Boyi and I are finally together. It's like a dream. Before this, I really wanted to give up. Fortunately, Boyi has always insisted, otherwise we would never be together in this life."

Shumei's face was filled with a happy smile. She looked at Boyi with a smile, reached out to grab Boyi's hand, and held their hands tightly together.

Qianqian took in all of this with her eyes closed. To her, this was like rubbing salt into the wound.

They were openly displaying their affection in front of her, which dealt another heavy blow to her already wounded heart.

Qianqian closed her eyes and bit her lower lip hard. The pain slowly brought her back to consciousness.

"Sister Shumei, Brother Boyi, congratulations, I wish you happiness and a long life together."

She finally plucked up the courage to raise her head, tears flashing in her eyes. Those were clearly tears of sadness, but she pretended to be tears of emotion that Shumei and her lover had finally gotten married.
