Si Mochen was slightly stunned.
Just as she was about to speak, Xia Zhichu started crying again, "But no man wants me. They look down on me because I'm a second marriage!"
When Si Mochen heard this, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, but looked up and glanced at the box upstairs.
His family arranged a blind date for him tonight, but he didn't want to get married yet, so he deliberately delayed it until now. He didn't expect to meet Xia Zhichu.
He had a crush on Xia Zhichu when he was in high school, but later he went abroad to study for some reasons and lost contact with Xia Zhichu.
I didn't expect that she had been through so much and had fallen to the point of having to go on blind dates.
Si Mochen looked Xia Zhichu up and down, and an idea came to his mind.
After a while, he said in a serious tone, "Xia Zhichu, I will marry you!"
Xia Zhichu is smart and kind, and most importantly, she is his friend who knows him well. If he wants to marry her, it is better than a strange woman.
Furthermore, he now needs a woman to deal with his family, and Xia Zhichu's appearance is just right.
"Then let's go get the marriage certificate tomorrow!" Xia Zhichu was not in a clear mind now, and she was full of frustration because she had been rejected on blind dates many times. Now that someone was willing to marry her, she naturally agreed without saying a word.
"Okay, I'll take you home first."
Seeing that she agreed, Si Mochen picked up her, who was drunk as a puddle, and strode out of the restaurant.
…
Early the next morning.
When Xia Zhichu woke up from a hangover, his head felt like it was filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't even lift it up.
At this time, the door was pushed open and Xia Zhichu turned his head to look.
What she saw was a tall and slender man standing at the door. It was Si Mochen who had taken care of her all night.
Xia Zhichu's mind was suddenly flooded with memories of last night, and he shuddered and sat up in bed.
Pointing at the man, hesitantly said, "Si Si Si...Si Mochen, why are you here?"
The man came over and handed her the warm water. "Last night you were crying and laughing, and you even threatened to go to your ex-husband's house. If I hadn't stayed with you, you would be at the police station now."
Xia Zhichu scratched his messy hair. Is he so fierce?
Why did she have such a fragmented memory and no recollection of this?
"And." Si Mochen lowered his eyes to check the time on his watch and reminded, "The Civil Affairs Bureau opens at nine o'clock. Wash up, bring your household registration booklet and divorce certificate, and we'll go get the certificate."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhichu quickly jumped out of bed.
She forgot about killing her ex-husband, but she remembered clearly the words she pestered Si Mochen to marry her.
She quickly explained, "Si Mochen, I was drunk and talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Although she was anxious to get married and give her ex-husband a slap in the face, she couldn't bring herself to attack her old classmate.
"What? You want to default on your debt?" The man took out his cell phone from his pocket and started playing a video.
This woman is the typical one who speaks the truth when she's drunk, but turns her back on him when she's sober. There's nothing he can do, he can only make two preparations.
Xia Zhichu stretched her neck to take a look, and the scene on the screen was exactly the scene of her getting drunk and crazy last night.
She has a bad alcohol tolerance and easily makes a fool of herself if she drinks too much.
Not only did she sing and dance, but she also pushed Si Mochen onto the sofa, looking so strong as if she was forcing herself on him.
Xia Zhichu also heard the cheesy words he had said, his face turned red, and he quickly rushed forward to grab the phone.
Si Mochen held it high up, and Xia Zhichu couldn't reach it even if he stood on tiptoe.
"Si Mochen, delete it now!"
Si Mochen put one hand in his pocket and said coolly, "Go wash up and we'll talk after we get the certificate."
Xia Zhichu had no choice but to go into the bathroom obediently. After the door was closed, his mind was completely confused.
Xia Zhichu scooped up some water to wash her face to wake herself up. Then she looked at herself in the mirror. Although her beauty was still there, she had become a woman with a stain on her marriage.
But in the end, Si Mochen wanted to marry her?
Are you crazy?
"Xia Zhichu, hurry up."
Si Mochen was leaning against the wall at this moment, with his hands in his pockets and a lazy look in his eyes.
Last night, he asked someone to investigate Xia Zhichu's situation overnight. Although he was married, he had no children.
Si Mochen was very clear about Xia Zhichu's original family. He had a younger brother who was four years younger than him. His parents favored boys over girls, and Xia Zhichu relied on part-time jobs and scholarships to support his tuition.
The reason why he got married right after graduating from college was because his younger brother could not afford the tuition for college, and Xia Zhichu's father owed a lot of gambling debts that he could not pay off. His parents forced Xia Zhichu to get married, hoping to use the betrothal money to alleviate the urgent need.
After knowing all this, Si Mochen became even more determined to marry Xia Zhichu.
Xia Zhichu heard the urging and responded.
A moment later, she came out after packing up, and looked at Si Mochen very seriously, "You should know that this is your first marriage and mine is my second!" Xia Zhichu felt it necessary to remind the other party again, after all, this was not a joke.
Si Mochen raised his eyebrows when he heard her say that, "How about this, Zhichu, let's get married in secret and try to get along. If you still feel that we are not suitable for each other in the future, we can separate."
"Why?"
Xia Zhichu didn't understand his actions. Although he didn't know Si Mochen well, in his memory, he was not such a careless person.
"I need a marriage partner to deal with my family, and you also want to remarry now. I think we are just right." Si Mochen explained truthfully.
When Xia Zhichu heard him say this, he understood instantly.
So...it's a deal where both sides get what they want.
Xia Zhichu thought about it and realized that with her current situation, it would be difficult for her to find a partner. Even if there was one, the other person would be ugly, divorced, and might even have children.
But Si Mochen is different. He has never been married and he is handsome.
He is tall and handsome, so there is no disadvantage in marrying him.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xia Zhichu nodded and said, "Okay, let's get married!"
An hour later.
Xia Zhichu and Si Mochen appeared at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Let's go." Seeing her tightly clutching the household registration booklet and divorce certificate, Si Mochen spoke to break the silence.
Xia Zhichu took a deep breath, opened the car door and got out.
But before entering the Civil Affairs Bureau, she reminded him, "Si Mochen, it's not too late for you to regret now."
She still felt that she could harm anyone, but she couldn't delay Si Mochen.
After all, if we part ways on bad terms, we won’t even be able to be classmates.
Si Mochen said nothing, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the office coldly. His determined look did not seem like he was joking.
Xia Zhichu could only follow dejectedly and hand over his ID.
The clerk glanced at them with a surprised look. Xia Zhichu knew what he was thinking. He must be wondering why Si Mochen, with such good conditions, married a divorced woman.
Xia Zhichu straightened his chest and kept a smile on his face throughout the whole process.
Now that she has decided to take this step, she cannot admit defeat.
After completing the process, Xia Zhichu held the red book and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Just a quick marriage?
She looked at Si Mochen, her mind still blank.
