Chapter 09
Lin Shengwen didn't like to procrastinate, so he switched shifts with Li Ye when he got back, freeing up a weekday morning. He first went to the sales office of Dajiang Yuehua to sign the contract, and then drove Liang Xun to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage.
Although he was extremely shocked by Lin Shengwen's inexplicable proposal, Lin Shengwen quickly explained his situation to him and prayed that Liang Xun could help him. Liang Xun's mood had been up and down, but when it returned to its original level, he felt relieved - he had always believed that people's luck was fixed, and if he suddenly got lucky and was proposed to by Lin Shengwen, he might be hit by a car the next day.
But even if it was fake, Liang Xun couldn't help but be happy about it. He felt like he couldn't hold back the smile on his face at work these days.
Sheng Biao was halfway through writing the bid when he looked up and saw Liang Xun with a silly smile on his face. He thought Liang Xun was possessed by an evil spirit and insisted on giving him the Wutai Mountain bracelet that his mother had bought too much.
Liang Xun doubtfully rejected Sheng Biao's kindness, touching his face and sighing, "Am I really behaving so strangely?"
"It's absolutely true. You won the lottery. Why are you laughing like that?"
"How is that possible? If I really won the lottery, would I still be sitting here working?" He smiled. "But it's almost there."
Sheng Biao looked at him suspiciously, then leaned over and asked, "Why don't you treat me to a meal when you have good news?"
Liang Xun glanced at him, blinked, and took out his wallet from his bag: "Okay, it's almost time for dinner, what do you want to eat?"
At noon that day, he and Sheng Biao secretly went to a nearby shopping mall to eat hot pot. They returned to the office smelling like hot pot. Chen Min heard the news from somewhere and soon gave each of them a warning look that said "wait for death".
As a result, when Liang Xun received a message from Lin Shengwen asking him to free up Friday morning for registration, Liang Xun hesitated for a long time before walking to Chen Min at a snail's pace to ask for leave from her.
Lin Shengwen wore a black suit with a satin peaked lapel that day, which made the already handsome Lin Shengwen look even more beautiful, like a creature that did not exist in this world. Liang Xun was stunned. You know, the last time he saw Lin Shengwen in a full suit was at Lin Shengwen's doctoral graduation ceremony. That day, he sneaked into the graduation ceremony and sat in the corner to watch Lin Shengwen go on stage and shake hands with the dean and the president one by one.
After Liang Xun and Lin Shengwen took photos and signed the marriage registration application form, they sat in the waiting area waiting for the staff to make their marriage certificate.
Lin Shengwen was still puzzled. He pinched his fingertips, but still couldn't help asking Lin Shengwen.
"Mr. Lin, so why did you come to me?"
Lin Shengwen was stunned for a moment when he heard Liang Xun's words.
In fact, he is very good at solving problems and even better at logical reasoning. Even when he was randomly checked by senior doctors during his regular training or when he was defending his application for funds, he was rarely stumped by questions.
Lin Shengwen had even asked himself the same question Liang Xun asked in advance, but after so many days, he still couldn't come up with a reasonable answer.
It was as if all his logical deductions failed in this matter, leaving him with an answer that made no sense.
Lin Shengwen thought about it and gave an accurate response: "You are very suitable."
After hearing this, Liang Xun suddenly turned his head to look at him. His eyes appeared as bright as glass balls under the high-brightness light on the ceiling of the waiting area.
"Thanks."
Lin Shengwen added, "Once we get the marriage certificate, you and I will be legally married."
"——I just called you Liang Xun."
Lin Shengwen did not directly express his dissatisfaction with Liang Xun still calling him "Mr. Lin", but it was almost the same as making it clear.
"Oh, sorry, because you asked me to find a house..." Liang Xun blinked, and his eyelashes flickered like a small fan in Lin Shengwen's field of vision. "Give me some time to get used to it - Lin Shengwen?"
"Don't worry, take your time," Lin Shengwen said. "I might need your help covering up in some situations later on. As long as you can get used to it before then, it'll be fine."
"Okay." Liang Xun nodded meekly.
The staff called Lin Shengwen and Liang Xun's names at the window. Liang Xun stood up first, and waited for Lin Shengwen to stand up and follow him to get the marriage certificate.
Each person received one portion. Lin Shengwen took one portion, and Liang Xun also put his portion into his bag.
"Let's go," Lin Shengwen said, "shall I take you to the company?"
Liang Xun nodded again: "Thank you for your help."
This time, Lin Shengwen did not let Liang Xun navigate for him, as if he already knew where the Mingsheng Real Estate building was. When they were almost there, Lin Shengwen parked the car on the side of the road and asked him to wait in the car for a while.
Liang Xun saw Lin Shengwen get out of the car and run into a Hong Kong-style snack bar along the street. Soon the clerk at the counter packed the things he wanted and handed him two plastic bags. Lin Shengwen paid the money and returned to the car with the plastic bags.
"The pineapple buns here are delicious, Liang Xun," Lin Shengwen said. "I didn't know if you like curry fish balls, so I brought some with me. You've been late all morning, so you should eat something to fill your stomach."
Liang Xun opened the bag, which contained two kraft paper food bags, one containing pineapple buns and the other containing curry fish balls. They looked like they were handmade and smelled fragrant.
The butter in the pineapple bun was probably frozen and hasn't completely melted yet.
Lin Shengwen explained: "I like it this way - the butter tastes like ice cream."
"I've never eaten it like this before," Liang Xun said honestly, "Pineapple buns are very hot, and the butter usually melts quickly."
"You can try." Lin Shengwen smiled.
Liang Xun took out the pineapple bun and put it to Lin Shengwen's mouth.
It was not until the edge of the pineapple bun was about to touch Lin Shengwen's lips that he woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly tried to withdraw his hand.
"Feel sorry."
Lin Shengwen held his hand and took a big bite.
"What are you sorry for?"
"I forgot you bought two, and I thought... you haven't eaten yet." Liang Xun embarrassedly excused his behavior. He was too embarrassed to retract his hand for a moment, so he held his arm horizontally and let Lin Shengwen finish the whole pineapple bun with his hand.
Lin Shengwen took out the paper package from his own portion and stuffed it into Liang Xun's arms.
He smiled and said, "It's my turn to say thank you." Then he stepped on the accelerator.
Lin Shengwen sent Liang Xun to the bottom of Mingsheng Building. After seeing Liang Xun enter the building and his figure completely out of sight, he opened his phone and sent a message.
A few minutes later, Lin Yunshen came downstairs and glanced at the cars parked nearby. Lin Shengwen opened the car door and came forward to greet him.
"Big brother."
Lin Yunshen glanced at him and said, "Why are you here? You're wearing a neat suit. What have you been doing?"
Lin Shengwen threw the remaining paper bag of curry fish balls in his hand to Lin Yunshen.
"Going to get married."
Lin Yunshen's eyes were fixed on Lin Shengwen like a hawk, staring at him for a long while, as if trying to find any sign of lying on his face. After a long time, he gave in and found that Lin Shengwen was telling the truth.
"Are you really... asking me for Dajiang Yuehua's house? Isn't that the reason?"
"Yeah." Lin Shengwen nodded.
Lin Yunshen sighed, pressed his temples, and had no choice but to accept his brother's sudden marriage.
"I'll keep this a secret from your parents," he said, narrowing his eyes. "The person you're going to marry won't be someone from Mingsheng, right?"
Lin Shengwen nodded under Lin Yunshen's gaze: "As expected of you, Big Brother."
Lin Yunshen thought briefly and asked, "What's your name?"
"Liang Xun."
Lin Yunshen narrowed his eyes. He had some impression of this name. He remembered that it was Chen Min's subordinate: "-Manager of the Real Estate Development Department."
Lin Shengwen was the one who was stunned. When Pei Ning introduced Liang Xun to him, he had clearly stated that Liang Xun worked as a real estate agent. Good lord, he had lied to him. And Liang Xun hadn't even told him directly, leaving him with this misunderstanding.
Lin Shengwen gritted his teeth.
"……right."
Lin Yunshen nodded: "I understand. I'll take better care of you."
"No, don't let him notice." Lin Shengwen shook his head, opened the car door again, and prepared to get in. He pointed at the paper bag and said, "Eat it while it's hot."
Lin Yunshen opened the paper package: a serving of curry fish balls. He smiled, his expression somewhat similar to Lin Shengwen's. He ignored Lin Shengwen as he drove off behind him and returned with the package.
For nearly two weeks after that, Lin Shengwen did not look for Liang Xun.
The handover process for Dajiang Yuehua was almost complete, and Lin Shengwen's apartment was reportedly already completed, though this work was primarily handled by his subordinates. Liang Xun happened to be at the bidding conference with Sheng Biao that day, so he didn't see Lin Shengwen.
After work, he bought a bowl of fried noodles from the convenience store for dinner on his way home. When he got home and opened the door with his key, he saw a cockroach as big as half a palm passing by him mercilessly on the ground.
Liang Xun calmly closed the door and fell into a silent frenzy in the corridor.
——As a child from the Kang family, Liang Xun had actually seen quite a few cockroaches since he was little, big and small, crawling and flying. But until today, he still couldn't overcome his fear of cockroaches.
What's more, since he came to Ting City, he rarely saw cockroaches.
He was still in the stage of collapse when he saw a cockroach in his house, and it was difficult for him to muster up the courage to open the door and find a way to deal with the cockroach.
Liang Xun was certain that when he saw a cockroach, there might already be a hundred cockroaches in the house.
There might be more of these creatures in places he couldn't see, and the thought made his scalp tingle.
What should I do, Liang Xun thought, he really wanted to move at the speed of light.
When Liang Xun was in a dilemma in the corridor, his mobile phone screen suddenly lit up.
He thought to himself, who would have to send him a message at this time? He smacked his lips in annoyance, unlocked his phone, opened the chat app, and found that it was a message from Lin Shengwen.
Lin Shengwen only sent one sentence:
"Liang Xun, do you want to live with me for a while?"
——A spider silk thread descended from hell.
Liang Xun reached out and grabbed it.
