Chapter 66 Chapter 66
After finally finishing drying his hair, Chen Zhaoyue jumped up from the sofa excitedly: "Uncle, go take a shower too!"
She urged him with a smile on her face, thinking that she should go back to her space to take good care of her skin so that she could be in the most beautiful condition to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.
"Zhaoyue!" Wen Yanxi suddenly called her.
"Hmm?" Chen Zhaoyue turned around, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Uncle can't bear to leave me?"
Wen Yanxi, who was about to speak, was choked by her words, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
Under the warm yellow light, a rare hint of embarrassment flashed across his deep brows, and a blush crept up his ears.
"I..." He opened his thin lips slightly, but then paused.
Her slender fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the towel, as if she was choosing her words.
Chen Zhaoyue did not urge him, but just looked at him with a smile, her wet almond eyes filled with tiny starlight.
Wen Yanxi took a deep breath, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, and then he regained his usual calm voice: "Is your household registration book ready?"
"It's ready!" Chen Zhaoyue nodded and pointed to her room: "It's in the drawer of the bedside table!"
"Give it to me, it will be convenient for us to keep it together." Wen Yanxi said.
He was a little worried because Chen Zhaoyue was sometimes drowsy, especially early in the morning.
It would be safer to keep the household registration book with him.
Chen Zhaoyue saw what he was thinking and raised an eyebrow: “Is my memory that bad?”
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. How could she forget a mere household registration booklet?
When she gets back, she will put it in her space so she won’t forget to bring it!
Ke Wen Yanxi did not refute, but just silently stretched out his hand with his palm facing up.
That "what do you think" expression made Shen Zhaoyue burst out laughing.
Forget it, my uncle is handsome after all, so let him keep it!
Chen Zhaoyue turned around and went to the room to get the household registration booklet, her back revealing excitement.
Wen Yanxi's eyes were always on her, and his stern outline appeared particularly soft under the light.
"Good night, uncle!" Chen Zhaoyue handed the household registration booklet to Wen Yanxi obediently, with his eyebrows curved into two crescents.
Wen Yanxi took the thin certificate and gently stroked the cover with his fingertips.
He watched Chen Zhaoyue's back as she skipped back to her room, and only turned and walked towards his bedroom after the door closed gently.
Under the dim desk lamp, Wen Yanxi took out his household registration book from the depths of the drawer.
Two dark red notebooks were placed side by side on the bedside table, glowing warmly under the light.
He stretched out his bony fingers, aligned the edges of the two books, and gently smoothed out the slight creases on the title page.
When Wen Yanxi came back from taking a shower, the first thing he did was look at the two household registration books placed side by side on the bedside table. His stern brows softened unconsciously.
He looked for a long time before raising his hand to turn off the light, but in the darkness he could clearly hear his accelerated heartbeat, which was no less than after training.
————
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, Wen Yanxi opened his eyes.
He picked up the bedside clock and looked at it - it was only five in the morning.
But at this moment he was no longer sleepy, and his mind was full of the important things he had to do today.
Wen Yanxi turned his head to look at the bedside table. Two dark red household registration books were placed side by side. His brows softened a little.
After a while, Wen Yanxi got up and washed.
When passing by Chen Zhaoyue's room, he found that the door was closed and it was quiet inside. It was obvious that the person was not awake yet.
Wen Yanxi stopped at the door for a moment, his raised hand hanging in the air. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to knock, but turned around and went to the yard for morning exercise.
The eastern sky gradually brightened, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, giving the figures in the courtyard a golden edge.
In the room, Shen Zhaoyue stretched lazily, vaguely heard some movement in the yard, and curiously pulled open the curtains.
In the morning light, Wen Yanxi was training shirtless in the yard.
Sweat slid down his strong abdominal muscles, reflecting a crystal luster in the sunlight.
Each of his punches was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, and his back muscles stretched into perfect arcs with his movements, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
Chen Zhaoyue lay on the windowsill, holding his cheek and watching intently.
The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes: "Tsk tsk, uncle's figure..."
Chen Zhaoyue silently added in his heart: This dog waist, this inverted triangle, I really picked up a treasure!
Wen Yanxi seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around to look at the window.
Chen Zhaoyue had no time to dodge and met his burning gaze.
But Chen Zhaoyue, who was caught, was not panicked at all. Instead, she pushed open the window and the morning breeze blew her scattered hair.
She lay on the windowsill, smiling like a cat that had stolen some fish: "Good morning, uncle~"
The ending tone is long and a bit lazy.
Wen Yanxi paused, and the morning light cast a golden edge on his angular profile.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously: "Good morning."
His voice was a little deeper than usual, with a hoarseness that came with training.
Chen Zhaoyue stared at the beads of sweat rolling down his face without blinking. When their eyes met, she suddenly blinked mischievously: "Uncle has a great figure~"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Yanxi's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his neck turned a faint pink.
Chen Zhaoyue's self-righteous look made Wen Yanxi, who was being watched, feel a little overwhelmed.
Hehe, her uncle is so easy to tease!
Chen Zhaoyue was overjoyed. Seeing Wen Yanxi stop training and walk into the house, he closed the window reluctantly.
"I'll take a shower and then make breakfast." Wen Yanxi walked into the house and happened to meet Chen Zhaoyue coming out of the room.
His voice was low, with a slight breath after exercise, but he deliberately avoided her gaze.
Chen Zhaoyue nodded, but her eyes couldn't help but follow him - sweat slid down his back, outlining the perfect muscle lines.
She swallowed quietly, wondering what it would feel like when she touched it.
Wen Yanxi seemed to sense her burning gaze and unconsciously quickened his pace.
The moment the bathroom door closed, Shen Zhaoyue came back to his senses, with a cunning arc on the corner of his mouth.
Once she gets the certificate today, she will have plenty of opportunities in the future!
Wen Yanxi took a shower, changed his clothes quickly, and made a simple breakfast.
After the two of them finished eating, he carefully checked their IDs, and only after confirming that they were correct did he put them away and take Shen Zhaoyue out.
Wen Qimin had already given him the car keys, and Wen Yanxi drove Chen Zhaoyue into the city.
There were many people walking on the street, and many of them couldn't help but look at them—mainly at Chen Zhaoyue.
Southern girls are rare in a small northern town, not to mention that she is so bright and beautiful. Walking next to Wen Yanxi, she looks even more petite and particularly eye-catching.
It was Wen Yanxi's first time to visit the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he walked around two streets before he found the place.
