Chapter 80: A proper confession ceremony
Ever since Xing Xiaochu came here, the two of them haven't been intimate for a long time.
At the beginning, everyone had their own thoughts and at most they would just kiss and hug each other, but such intimate actions were rare.
Qi Ying felt the warmth in her palm, lowered her head and kissed the person on the bed's lips.
The two people who were already familiar with each other had almost nothing to hide. Qi Ying's hands rubbed Xing Xiaochu through her pajamas. The person in his arms was as soft as water, panting and humming softly when being kissed.
"elder sister……"
Xing Xiaochu hugged Qi Ying's neck, feeling a little dizzy. Her lips were moist from being bitten, and looked watery in the dim light. She called Qi Ying in a daze, holding her chest high.
Qi Ying buried his head in her neck, which was the closest position to the gland. But she didn't know if it was an illusion, but Qi Ying always felt that the scent of osmanthus was very faint, at least not like the estrus period in the past, which made her dizzy and only cared about bullying the person in her arms.
"The taste is so light..." Qi Ying bit Xing Xiaochu's neck, leaving a bite mark on it: "Is it not the estrus period yet?"
Xing Xiaochu twisted her legs together, groaning with red eyes.
At this moment, any words were superfluous. Qi Ying pinched Xing Xiaochu's waist, turned him over, and pressed him into the soft blanket...
***
A week passed in this dull life. After Xia Ruoxin received a call, she turned around and asked Qi Ying, "The procedures over there are almost done. When can I get your household registration booklet?"
Qi Ying paused while cutting the fabric and looked up at her: "When do you want it?"
"Before next week." Xia Ruoxin said, "I'll be there next week and deliver your things."
"Okay." Qi Ying said, "I'll contact my family."
After seeing off the customers who came to look at the clothes, Qi Ying stood at the door and hesitated for a minute before taking out his cell phone, walking aside, and dialing the number he hadn't called in a long time.
The phone rang for a long time before someone answered.
"Hello?"
The woman on the phone sounded confused and a little excited, but she tried hard not to show it. She just asked, "Aying?"
"It's me." Qi Ying touched her nose. The call was already connected, so there was no need for her to hesitate and she directly stated her request.
"I'm getting married, and I need your household registration booklet." Qi Ying spoke a little quickly, and said to the woman on the phone, "Whenever it's convenient for you, I'll go home and get it."
The woman on the phone was stunned for a while, and her tone suddenly became louder: "What? You're getting married?"
Qi Ying pursed her lips and said, "Yes, can I go back and get it at the weekend?"
"No, no, no, no." The woman seemed very excited. She held up her phone and asked, "Who are you marrying? Your uncle Tao and I are both free recently. Let's go see you?"
"It's too troublesome." Qi Ying said, "I just need the household registration booklet. It's the same if I go get it myself."
"How can it be the same!" The woman said loudly, "Don't worry about this matter. You are still living in Xia Ruoxin's store, right? In this way, we will go to find you in the next two days and meet the other party's parents by the way."
Qi Ying opened her mouth and said, "She has no parents, only herself."
Now it was the woman's turn to remain silent.
"Well, you have to meet him anyway. You still have to show some courtesy." The woman said to Qi Ying, "Don't worry about it. I'll tell you when we leave."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qi Ying frowned as he looked at the hung-up phone screen and began to regret whether he should have made the call.
Qi Ying's father died in an accident when she was very young, and Ms. Zhao Jinyin has been raising her alone. Perhaps because she no longer has a husband, her child is her only support, so Zhao Jinyin has been very strict with Qi Ying since she was a child. In addition, Zhao Jinyin herself is a very strong woman, so the relationship between mother and daughter has always been not very good.
Later, Qi Ying was admitted to university. At the graduation banquet, Zhao Jinyin introduced her boyfriend of five years and announced the wedding date. Everyone was celebrating except Qi Ying, who was sitting on the chair and had a grim look on her face.
In the days that followed, Qi Ying watched his mother quickly get married, and the next year he had a half-sister.
Although Ms. Zhao Jinyin's new husband treated her very well, Qi Ying always felt that she was out of tune with this new family of three, so after graduation she did not go home to work as arranged by her mother, but opened a studio with Xia Ruoxin and settled down here.
Ms. Zhao Jinyin also made a fuss about it, but after all, the child was grown up and she could no longer control him. After a few years, she let it go and followed Qi Ying. Zhao Jinyin also gradually focused her energy on her daughter who had just started elementary school.
It's actually pretty good for Qi Ying to live alone. She doesn't have high demands, and she's comfortable living in a loft and eating takeout. What's more, she's doing what she's good at and what she likes. If it weren't for the need to give Xing Xiaochu a legal identity this time, she wouldn't want to contact her mother.
Putting the phone in his pocket, Qi Ying sighed slowly.
When Zhao Jinyin and her family come in a few days, she doesn’t know what questions they will ask. She has to talk to Xing Xiaochu first.
As I was thinking this, I looked up and saw Xing Xiaochu coming back with the things he bought from the supermarket.
However, he seemed to be in low spirits and kept walking with his head down.
"Xiaochu?"
Qi Ying called her, and Xing Xiaochu came back to her senses. Seeing Qi Ying standing on the side of the road, she walked over in confusion and asked, "Sister, why are you here?"
Qi Ying took the things in her hand and took a look at them. Xing Xiaochu went to the supermarket to buy fruits and snacks, as well as some drinks, all of which were things that could be eaten without cooking.
"Come out and make a phone call." Qi Ying looked at her face and asked, "Why do you look so unhappy? Did something happen to you?"
Xing Xiaochu lowered his eyes and told Qi Ying what had just happened.
She went to the supermarket to buy something. When she was checking out, she saw that the supermarket was recruiting cashiers. The salary and benefits looked good, and the working hours were not very long, so Xing Xiaochu was tempted.
Now she doesn't need to go to school, and she doesn't know what to do with her large amount of time every day, so Xing Xiaochu asked the supermarket manager and talked with him. Seeing that Xing Xiaochu was about to find a job, the manager said, "If there is no problem, bring a copy of your ID card and you can start work."
Xing Xiaochu was stunned for a moment.
Yes, she has no identity.
So Xing Xiaochu could only walk out of the supermarket with his head down, worrying all the way about being an illegal resident.
After hearing what Xing Xiaochu said, Qi Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
"Sister, you're still laughing." Xing Xiaochu glared at her unhappily: "I will be an illegal resident from now on."
"No." Qi Ying touched her head, comforted the child and said, "You will have a new identity soon."
Xing Xiaochu looked at her in confusion.
Qi Ying rolled his eyes and said to Xing Xiaochu, "You'll know in two days."
Before letting Xing Xiaochu meet her mother, Qi Ying planned to hold a proper confession ceremony for the little girl, so she went directly to the only person who could discuss it.
Xia Ruoxin became interested as soon as she heard it, and said to Qi Ying excitedly, "Are you really going to propose to Xiaochu? That's great. I know a proposal planning studio with all kinds of cases. I'll send you her WeChat."
Qi Ying looked at Xia Ruoxin's excitement and couldn't help but curl her lips: "Then I want the best, don't fool me."
Xia Ruoxin assured her: "It's fine!"
After adding the planner’s WeChat, Qi Ying looked at some of their cases. Because the needs were urgent, she could only choose some simple plans. Fortunately, the contact person there had quite a lot of connections, and she quickly contacted the restaurant and flowers, and gave them the plan.
Qi Ying took a look and was quite satisfied.
The next evening, Qi Ying finished work early. Looking at Xing Xiaochu who was still diligently cleaning the windows, he felt that she was very much like the kind of hardworking young wife, and couldn't help laughing.
"Xiaochu." Qi Ying walked to the window, looked at the glass that was cleaned by Xing Xiaochu, and said, "You cleaned it too clean. Clean up, let's go out for dinner."
Xing Xiaochu looked back at her: "Didn't you finish your lunch? You can continue eating in the evening. You don't have to go out."
Xia Ruoxin jumped out and said to Xing Xiaochu, "What's the point of eating leftovers? It's rare that Aying is generous enough to invite you to dinner, so Xiaochu shouldn't refuse."
During this period of time, Xing Xiaochu had become very familiar with Xia Ruoxin and the others. Hearing this, she tilted her head and looked at them: "Are you going to treat everyone, Sister?"
"Your sister Shi Yu and I still have things to do." Xia Ruoxin said with a smile: "You two can just go out to eat."
"What a waste of money." Xing Xiaochu frowned and looked at Qi Ying: "Sister, you still have to pay off the mortgage in the future, so every bit you can save counts. What's wrong with eating the leftovers from lunch? Just heat them up in the microwave."
Seeing that the thrifty little stingy girl was about to refuse Qi Ying, Qi Ying said to her calmly: "But the money has been paid, and it won't be refunded if you don't go."
Xing Xiaochu: “Ah?”
Xia Ruoxin also agreed: "Yes, the money paid is not refundable."
Xing Xiaochu looked at Xia Ruoxin in embarrassment, then at Qi Ying. She had known since childhood that she shouldn't waste money. When she heard that the money could not be refunded once paid, she felt a little distressed.
"Then, then don't order from them next time." Xing Xiaochu complained, "How can you not allow refunds after ordering a meal?"
Xia Ruoxin winked at Qi Ying, and Qi Ying also looked at her and nodded slightly.
"Okay, then Shi Yu and I will go home first." Xia Ruoxin said to the two of them, "Have a good meal~"
After Xia Ruoxin and Shi Yu packed up and left, Qi Ying retracted his gaze and placed it on Xing Xiaochu, saying, "Go upstairs and change your clothes. We'll be leaving soon."
Xing Xiaochu nodded, bent down, picked up the bucket and prepared to go upstairs.
"Xiaochu."
When Xing Xiaochu had already stepped onto the stairs, Qi Ying called her from behind.
Xing Xiaochu turned around and looked at the person behind her in confusion, then she heard Qi Ying say to her seriously, "Change into something prettier."
Xing Xiaochu: “?”
It's just a meal, why do you have to change into beautiful clothes?
But Qi Ying must have her reasons for saying that. Xing Xiaochu just paused for a moment and then nodded, preparing to go upstairs to change into her best looking dress.
