73 Official Announcement
The next morning, reminded by her biological clock, Chu Xiao opened her eyes on time.
She felt great, refreshed and invigorated, and all the fatigue she had been feeling recently vanished.
No wonder many people like to do partner sports when they are under a lot of pressure.
This kind of efficient exercise is indeed very beneficial to physical and mental health.
Chu Xiao felt that she and Yu Chun could continue this beneficial activity for a long time to come.
The heavy blackout curtains blocked out the bright sunlight from outside, leaving the bedroom still dark.
Chu Xiao reached out her right hand and fumbled for her phone on the bedside table, then checked the time.
The light from the screen flickered, casting a small shadow on Yu Chun's thick eyelashes beside her.
He frowned, unconsciously rubbed against the heat source next to him, and put his arm on it.
Chu Xiao turned her head and, using the dim light from her phone screen, looked at Yu Chun, who was still fast asleep beside her.
The boy slept peacefully, his delicate face still bearing traces of baby fat, making him appear somewhat childish.
However, when Chu Xiao looked down at the ambiguous red marks on Yu Chun's bare shoulders, he felt a subtle sense of guilt, as if he had harmed the young seedlings of his motherland.
She silently considered her actual age... well, it really was an old cow eating young grass.
She pressed the screen, plunging the bedroom back into darkness, and placed her phone back on the bedside table.
After lying there for a few minutes, Chu Xiao became more and more awake, and she wanted to get up.
But Yu Chun's hand was still on her arm.
Judging from the even, soft snoring, Yu Chun was sleeping quite soundly.
Chu Xiao grasped Yu Chun's wrist and, extremely slowly, bit by bit, removed Yu Chun's hand from her own arm.
Yu Chun suddenly turned over, her soft snoring stopped, and the air instantly became quiet.
Chu Xiao waited motionless for a moment, and finally heard Yu Chun's soft snoring again in his ears.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up—
The phone on the bedside table suddenly started vibrating wildly.
Chu Xiao was startled and quickly grabbed her phone, instinctively pressing the mute button.
She turned to look at Yu Chun.
Yu Chun's long, thick eyelashes trembled, and she opened her misty eyes, clearly having been woken up.
"Who is it...so early in the morning...can't a person get some sleep...?"
After Yu Chun finished her mumbled complaint, her blurry gaze focused on Chu Xiao's hand holding the phone.
He then suddenly realized that he wasn't alone in bed!
Yu Chun's cheeks flushed.
He buried his head under the covers and hid his burning face.
"...Is it urgent? Answer it quickly!" Yu Chun urged in a muffled voice.
Chu Xiao remembered that she had clearly instructed that no one should be disturbed during her vacation unless it was an emergency.
What happened this time?
There's never a day without a break!
She glanced at the name flashing on the screen, took a deep breath, and answered the phone.
The phone rang with Wang Xue's voice, which she tried to keep low but couldn't hide her urgency: "President Jian, something's happened. You and Young Master Yu were photographed yesterday in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Chu Xiao frowned involuntarily: "Explain yourself clearly."
"Starting this morning, the Weibo hashtag #YuChunCivilRelationsBureau# gradually climbed to the top of the trending topics, alongside #GuChangqingDivorce# and #GuChangqingDebunksRumors#. It all started yesterday afternoon when paparazzi photographed a man in black with his face obscured, but with an excellent physique and demeanor, outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Netizens initially speculated it was the popular young actor Gu Changqing, but after Gu Changqing's team issued an urgent denial, the trail led back to Yu Chun. Now everyone is guessing who the woman next to him, whose back was only visible in the photos, is… and speculation is already pointing to you."
Chu Xiao sat up, and the velvet blanket slipped off her waist, revealing the faint lines of her muscles.
She glanced instinctively at Yu Chun, who had somehow peeked out from under the covers, her ears perked up and a nervous look on her face, and then turned on speakerphone.
"How clear is the photo? Can we confirm it's him directly?"
"The paparazzi were a bit far away, mainly using a telephoto lens for candid shots, so the image quality wasn't great. But after Gu Changqing denied it... Yu Shao's fans and the general public basically believed it was him."
Yes, Yu Chun does have fans.
Yu Chun not only has fans, but her fan base is quite large, even exceeding the number of many obscure celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Since the shocking "hospital toilet incident" made him an overnight sensation, Yu Chun's face, which is described as "beautiful beyond human comprehension," has gone viral, instantly attracting countless fans and earning him affectionate nicknames such as "Toilet Prince" and "Spicy Hot Pot Pan An" bestowed upon him by his devoted fans.
His followers on various platforms have skyrocketed to millions, and every day a large number of his "disciples" create fan fiction and derivative works, so his popularity has never waned.
Therefore, even if Yu Chun is wrapped up like a mummy, the DNA of her "disciples" will still move!
As for Chu Xiao, although the female protagonist of the toilet incident was not directly exposed, the rumors about "Young Master Yu and Miss Jian" had already been widely circulated through so-called "insiders" and had become a regular topic under the Yu Chun topic.
Therefore, when Yu Chunyi was photographed secretly getting his marriage certificate, the first reaction of the onlookers was to accurately pinpoint his only, legendary rumored girlfriend.
Yu Chun grabbed her phone and nervously opened Weibo.
Ever since he embarrassed himself by trending on social media for the first time, he now suffers from PTSD whenever he hears about himself trending.
Sure enough, when I opened Weibo, I saw the trending topic #YuChunCivilAffairs# followed by a dark red "boiling" tag.
Clicking into the trending topic, I saw two pictures posted by an entertainment marketing account with five-figure followers.
In the photo, he's bundled up like a bank robber, looking around suspiciously at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, while Chu Xiao stands next to him, only half of her back visible.
The comment section below has exploded.
"Holy crap?! Is he really Chun Chun?! Who's that girl next to him?!"
"Yesterday afternoon? It really was at the Civil Affairs Bureau! So they really went to get their marriage certificate?!"
"Who is this woman? She looks pretty cool from behind, but it's a pity I couldn't get a picture of her face."
"I'm guessing it's the second young lady of the Jian family! With a height of over 180cm, who else could it be but her!"
"Waaaaah! No! How did my husband suddenly become someone else's husband?!"
"Wake up, upstairs! Your husband married into a wealthy family (or something like that)? The Jianbing Group is worth hundreds of billions (doge)."
"Hahaha, I don't know whether to envy Yu Chun or pity her. President Jian looks like someone you shouldn't mess with!"
Am I the only one curious about who will go up and who will go down? (Runs away with a pot on his head)
Yu Chun's face flushed red, then turned pale, then green, then black, then red again. Especially when he saw the last comment, he subconsciously touched his aching back.
Chu Xiao had already ended her call with Wang Xue and was looking at him: "You saw it?"
"Hmm..." Yu Chun responded sullenly, "They say I married into a wealthy family."
Chu Xiao smiled and said, "That's the truth."
She lifted the covers and got out of bed, stepping barefoot onto the soft carpet as she walked towards the walk-in closet.
Yu Chun scrolled through the tens of thousands of comments, feeling somewhat agitated.
So far, Chu Xiao has not told him any plans about the wedding. He guessed that Chu Xiao might not have any intention of announcing their marriage registration, or that she had other plans.
No matter how unreliable Yu Chun was, she understood that there were too many interests involved behind the marriage between their families, enough to make a big fuss about.
Now that the paparazzi have taken photos of him and accidentally exposed him, it will probably disrupt Chu Xiao's plans.
"What should we do now?" he asked anxiously.
Chu Xiao replied without changing her expression, "Let's make it official."
She came out of the dressing room, dressed neatly, intending to wash up.
"Huh?" Yu Chun didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at her phone. "It's officially announced already? Didn't you have other plans?"
Chu Xiao felt a little itchy to touch Yu Chun's blank and silly appearance.
She couldn't help but walk to the bedside and pinch Yu Chun's pretty cheek.
"You knew I had other plans, huh? You're such a smart bastard."
"Then tell me what my plans are?"
Yu Chun felt that Chu Xiao was teasing a fool.
He slapped away Chu Xiao's guilty right hand in annoyance, muttering, "I'm not a mind reader! How would I know!"
Chu Xiao relentlessly stretched out her left hand and continued to fondle that irresistible face.
As she continued to squeeze, her hand unconsciously began to move downwards.
Want to know?
Yu Chun snorted coldly: "No! I don't want to!"
He moved Chu Xiao's restless hand away, got out of bed, and rushed into the dressing room.
Chu Xiao chuckled as she looked at the person who seemed to be fleeing in panic.
She thought marrying Yu Chun was quite interesting.
Half an hour later, while Yu Chun was still struggling with how to write the official announcement to avoid sounding too "married off," Chu Xiao had already taken the photos decisively.
She was holding two red marriage certificates, with the sunlight streaming through the bedroom's floor-to-ceiling window in the background.
The marriage certificate was opened, revealing a red-background photo of the two of them: one smiling like a fool, and the other with a blank face as if he had been kidnapped.
Chu Xiao's face wasn't fully visible; only her delicate jawline and the well-defined hand holding the marriage certificate were shown in the frame, while her other hand rested casually on her fluffy hair.
Yu Chun sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of her, looking up at her with a slightly dazed expression, but her ears were bright red.
He also cleverly wore the same style of red T-shirt as Chu Xiao, but in a different color.
Chu Xiao logged into the original owner's verified Weibo account, "Jian Fei," and posted it with almost no editing of the text, simply adding a picture.
[Jianfei V: It's official. @Yu Chun]
Simple, direct, very Chu Xiao.
The moment the Weibo post was successfully sent, Chu Xiao raised his chin at Chun and said, "Retweet."
Yu Chun looked at the Weibo post, especially the words "stamped," and her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
He pursed his lips, suppressing the involuntary upward curve of his mouth, and his fingers flew across the keyboard.
[Yu Chun V: Received! //@Jian Fei V: Stamped. @Yu Chun]
