Lin Yuxi also took a piece and took a few bites. The sunflower seeds and peanuts she had eaten that morning were still on the table.
After finishing his work, Gu Chen sat down at the table, right next to Lin Yuxi.
The two sat on the same long bench, and Gu Chen leaned closer to the middle, seemingly worried that she might tilt the bench if she sat too far to the side.
They were so close that they could smell the soap and cooking fumes on each other's clothes.
It felt like their sleeves were touching. Lin Yuxi took her hand off the table and prepared to move the stool, but her hand pressed against a rather hard spot.
Lin Yuxi froze instantly.
She obediently pulled her hand back and sat down like a soldier.
Where is that deadly hand going to touch?!
Gu Chen's ears turned red, but he was a little surprised when Lin Yuxi suddenly pressed his leg down. When he looked at her silently, she seemed to have accidentally touched him, and he moved away a little at the same time.
After all, the two are only engaged now, and they can only get their marriage certificate after his transfer application is approved.
However, a month has passed, and his transfer application seems to have been put on hold and has not been approved yet.
While Lin's mother was discussing the two children with Wang Caixia, she turned her head and saw her daughter's shifty eyes. "What's wrong, Xixi?"
"It's alright, Mom." Lin Yuxi met her concerned gaze and handed her a slice of watermelon. "Have some watermelon."
You can't exactly tell her mom that she touched a place she shouldn't have, can you?
"Give this to Gu Chen. He's been working hard all day and hasn't even had a sip of water yet. Give it to him quickly." Lin's mother winked at her daughter, gesturing for her to hand the watermelon to Gu Chen.
At noon, Gu Chen cooked for so many people all by himself. The pot wasn't very big, and he was sweating profusely while standing in the kitchen.
"Do you want some? You've been busy in the kitchen all day, you must be tired." Lin Yuxi quickly handed over the watermelon she was holding, passing one slice of watermelon twice on the table.
Gu Chen lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It's not hard work."
Actually, he didn't really like sweets, but since Lin Yuxi handed them to him, he still reached out and took them.
There were only a few people at the octagonal table, and watching the interaction between the two, they naturally just smiled and remained silent.
The villagers of Qinghe Village all knew about the engagement, and now that the two of them had settled things, they didn't dare to say anything to Gu Chen.
Seven-Up had been there for about the right amount of time, so she waddled away. Usually, matchmaking only costs one or two yuan, just a matter of setting up a connection. But this time she was getting six yuan. Who could offer her a higher price? Naturally, she had to shower her with compliments before leaving.
The two families held a low-key wedding ceremony, but when they left, Wang Caixia insisted on giving Lin Yuxi a red envelope.
"Since you and Gu Chen are engaged, it's only a matter of time before you marry into the family. Take this red envelope for now, and go to town to buy whatever you want to eat."
Since we'll have to change how we address each other anyway, it's only natural to give a red envelope now.
"Thank you, Aunt Gu." Lin Yuxi blinked.
Wang Caixia held her hand and said, "This afternoon I'll urge him to ask when the demobilization application will be approved. Once it's approved, you two can discuss a time to get the certificate and get your marriage certificate."
