Chapter 19: Get a certificate?

Meng Ruoxi, who had no idea how expensive the watch was, soon stopped taking it seriously.

Shi Yanjin also did not tell her the value of the watch.

The two of them were doing their own things without disturbing each other.

Meng Ruoxi would occasionally look up at Shi Yanjin and see him sitting at the desk, drawing something. He didn't care and just kept his head down, busy with his own things.

She has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she's slow in organizing things.

In her previous life, she organized her clothes one set at a time with transparent tape and then put them in different places according to the season. Now that conditions are limited, she feels uncomfortable and can't get used to it.

People need to adapt to the environment, and she can only overcome herself.

The lunch was not prepared by Li Taohua, but by Shi Yanjin himself.

Even the clothes that Meng Ruoxi took off every day were washed by him.

Meng Ruoxi thought this was justified.

Since he took it off, he should be the one to wash it.

However, after finishing her meal, she was dizzy and disoriented by the "One Month" that Shi Yanjin threw at her.

"I plan to visit my parents-in-law in a few days. What do you think?"

Meng Ruoxi raised her head and said firmly, "No!"

Shi Yanjin was somewhat surprised by her different attitude, but still asked gently, "Why?"

Meng Ruoxi realized that her attitude was inappropriate, calmed down her panic, and said harshly, "They are the stinking ninth class, they have been beaten to death, and I am an orphan."

Shi Yanjin was shocked, "I'm sorry."

No one would doubt a person who has lost his parents.

Meng Ruoxi felt guilty and sorry for the parents who loved the original owner, but she could only do this.

However, before she could relax for long, she was worried again by the following words, "Although I can't see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, as their son-in-law, I should also go to pay my respects."

Shi Yanjin sincerely wanted to pay homage, but Meng Ruoxi felt horrified and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"I don't want to go. The pain that place brought me is too deep. Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I can dream of my parents dying tragically in front of me again and again. They said that they would never go back to that cannibalistic place again."

As Meng Ruoxi spoke one word after another, Shi Yanjin's heart felt as if it was being pinched by an iron clamp, causing him to feel intense pain.

He naturally knew what would become of Chou Lao Jiu.

His teacher once hanged himself in front of him.

He still can't forget those eyes that were widened and unwilling to close.

Feeling sorry for her, I held her in my arms and comforted her.

"It's all over. You have me from now on. I will protect you and won't let you get hurt."

With her head resting on Shi Yanjin's shoulder, Meng Ruoxi's eyes flashed with complex emotions.

He believed it without any doubt or question.

She could see that he really cared about her and was not just pretending.

However, her parents were not dead, they were just working in the mines.

The reason I lied to him was because I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble later.

She didn't know that every lie she told at that moment would be the bitter fruit she would have to suffer in the future.

A white lie can bring gratitude, but deliberate deception will only lead to crazy revenge.

Pushing Shi Yanjin away, she wiped her tears and said, "Let's live a good life together from now on and not talk about the past."

Shi Yanjin agreed without hesitation and nodded immediately, "Okay."

The matter was resolved perfectly, and Meng Ruoxi felt relieved.

However, another problem came up that troubled her and made her heart rise to her throat.

Shi Yanjin hugged her, his voice full of joy, "We haven't gone to get the marriage certificate yet, why not go next week?"

With a shudder, Meng Ruoxi closed her eyes, feeling suffocated in her heart.

The biggest challenge is coming.
