When Pei Xi first thought of sharing the marriage certificate with Pei Zhi and Pei Ruoyun, she suddenly realized that the four of them didn't have a group chat yet.
Pei Ruoyun never chats idly, and Jiang Cheng is even less likely to chat idly, so they always communicate one-way when there is something to discuss.
Pei Xi frowned, feeling that this wouldn't work.
So she immediately created a group chat and added Jiang Cheng, Pei Zhi, and Pei Ruoyun to it.
Then I sent a photo of our marriage certificate to the group chat.
When Pei Zhi received the message, he was having dinner with Shi Chen.
He maintained the posture of holding the food in his chopsticks, staring at the screen for several seconds without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Shi Chen asked.
Pei Zhi handed him the phone and told him to look at it himself.
Shi Chen glanced at it and chuckled.
"To be honest, I never imagined that after all the ups and downs and all the bickering, Jiang Cheng would actually become your brother-in-law."
Pei Zhi laughed, "I didn't expect that either."
Who would have thought?
He also found it amazing.
What's even more amazing is that he now feels that if Jiang Cheng weren't his brother-in-law, he simply couldn't imagine anyone else.
Shi Chen took a sip of water, lifted his eyelids to look at him, and asked, "How are you feeling right now?"
Pei Zhi grunted but didn't say anything.
While he was thinking, Shi Chen spoke up: "Actually, I've always been quite resistant to marriage. After all, it seems that none of the married people I've met have had good outcomes."
He chuckled softly.
"But for some reason, looking at the two of them, I felt that it was quite romantic."
Pei Zhi smiled upon hearing this, "Marriage is just a legal relationship; what matters is the people involved."
He said, "Whether something is romantic or not, whether it brings happiness or not, depends on who you're with."
Shi Chen chuckled, a teasing look on his face, "Our Young Master Pei can actually say such philosophical things now."
Pei Zhi glared at him, "Get lost, my thoughts have always been very profound, okay?"
Shi Chen didn't say anything, his head was down, his shoulders were shaking, and he was laughing uncontrollably.
"Oh, right." Pei Zhi suddenly remembered something, "There's something I need to arrange with you in advance."
"Um?"
"You'll be his best man then. You know Jiang Cheng doesn't have many close friends, so I'll make a reservation for you on his behalf."
Shi Chen laughed upon hearing this, "My sister and brother-in-law are getting married. Even if I have a broken leg, I'll still get up and go. Do I need to make an appointment?"
Pei Zhi was also happy, "Okay, it's settled then."
"Stop talking nonsense."
The two of them picked up their glasses at the same time, clinked them together lightly, and smiled at each other.
After finishing his drink, Pei Zhi glanced at the still-lit phone screen on the table and saw the 【Group Chat (4)】 on it.
Then he picked up his phone, thought for a moment, tapped the screen, and typed a few words with a smile.
-
On the other side, in Yulin City.
Jiang Cheng drove Pei Ruoyun's idle car, with Pei Xi as a passenger, smoothly along the road, his smile never fading the entire way.
The car passed an intersection, but Jiang Cheng didn't turn; instead, he continued straight. Pei Xi was taken aback and asked him, somewhat confused, "Where are we going?"
Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at her, "Let's go somewhere first and find someone."
Pei Xi paused for two seconds in thought, then smiled gently.
Jiang Cheng's social circle is extremely small. Right now, there's only one person in Yushi whom he can call a friend.
Sure enough, the car gradually drove onto a familiar road and then stopped in front of a sign that was all too familiar to me.
Pei Xi looked up and saw that the green-eyed shark had obviously suffered a lot from wind, sun and rain. It had faded a lot and was no longer as majestic as before. Even the green light in its eyes had dimmed a lot.
The marks of time are so clearly visible; after all, almost six years have passed since she first saw this shark.
Jiang Cheng unbuckled his seatbelt, and Pei Xi followed suit, looking at him and saying, "Come on, let's go in together."
Jiang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
The two got out of the car, held hands, and walked into the store together.
Upon entering, Pei Xi immediately felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
The previously smoky and polluted environment is gone. The house seems to have been recently renovated, with new tables and chairs, a redesigned space, and many more green plants and decorations, making it look spacious and bright.
It seems that internet cafes are starting to reform these days, paying more attention to the environment and decor.
There's even a beverage area next to the front desk where you can order coffee, milk tea, and other drinks.
The two walked to the front desk, where the staff member was no longer the skinny guy from before, but a petite young woman.
Hearing the sound, the little girl looked up from her lunchbox and her round eyes widened instantly when she saw the two people in front of her.
"Excuse me...excuse me, do you want to turn on the computer?" The young woman was still in a daze when she saw a couple who looked so well-matched.
Jiang Cheng shook his head, glancing around casually. "I'm looking for your boss."
The young woman stammered "oh" twice, then immediately turned her head and shouted inside, "Boss!! Someone's looking for you!!"
Her voice was loud and clear, which seemed quite out of place with her petite figure.
A moment later, a person hurried out, carrying a boxed lunch and shoveling food into their mouth as they walked. "Who is it? What do they want? Is it another fire safety inspection...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yuan stopped abruptly when he saw the person standing next to the front desk, still holding half a shredded potato in his mouth.
His tiny eyes widened in shock.
Pei Xi chuckled at his expression. She thought to herself, "Things are really better now." She remembered that every time she met him before, he only ate instant noodles.
