"Because it's your birthday today, you won't officially turn twenty until the day after your birthday..."
After hearing this, the girl couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chen Lu, her eyes filled with a blank stare.
Chen Lu unconsciously swallowed. Although Liang Zhirou didn't seem to be questioning him at all, he still felt incredibly embarrassed.
Don't look at me, I've forgotten everything I learned in college.
"We can come back tomorrow. We'll be together for the rest of our lives, so getting our marriage certificate won't make a difference!"
The staff member comforted the two with a gentle smile.
She had only been working here for a short time and this was the first time she had seen a couple rushing to get their marriage certificate on their birthday, which she found particularly amusing.
It's... kind of adorable.
After Chen Lu finally realized what had happened, he felt increasingly speechless.
I was nervous all night last night, and I got up really early this morning...
And now you're telling me I can't get a marriage certificate on the day I reach the legal age?
I'm already getting emotional, and you want me to wait another day?
How is this any different from those outrageous, fragmented plots?
Unfortunately, the law is the law, so Chen Lu had no choice but to take Liang Zhirou's hand and leave.
The staff member smiled and waved goodbye to the couple, secretly regretting that they hadn't helped issue the marriage certificate.
To her utter surprise, the two of them actually came again early the next morning.
They were the first couple she served that day.
"So afraid your girlfriend will run away, huh?" The early-rising office worker was instantly wide awake and chuckled as he teased Chen Lu.
"You'd be scared too if you had such a great girlfriend." Chen Lu smiled. "I dragged her out of bed while she was still asleep."
Liang Zhirou, standing next to her, kept her head down and didn't dare to speak, her cheeks growing redder and redder as she listened.
Because it was actually she who dragged Chen Lu out of bed.
"There won't be any problems today, please sign here."
Taking the paper and pen, Liang Zhirou bent down and carefully wrote her name, stroke by stroke.
This was the most serious she had ever been in her life.
After confirming all the information, all that's left is to print the marriage certificate.
To be honest, all that time before was spent anticipating and preparing, and my mindset hadn't quite caught up yet.
Now, seeing her marriage certificate being printed, Liang Zhirou finally realized that she was really married.
With the person you love most.
Her heartbeat grew faster and faster, gradually drowning out her breathing.
Chen Lu had the same thought, and he unconsciously took Liang Zhirou's hand.
Looking to the side, Liang Zhirou was slightly pursing her lips, her eyes still fixed on what was in front of her, looking quite calm.
But he could see that tears were welling up in the girl's eyes.
"Save your tears for our wedding day."
He leaned close to the girl's ear and said with a wicked grin, completely unaware that his voice was unsteady.
After waiting for a while, their marriage certificate was finally printed. Liang Zhirou carefully took it with both hands and then eagerly opened it to look at it.
Although my vision is currently obscured by a layer of mist, I can still make out some things with difficulty.
Seeing their wedding photos together, the tears she had been holding back for so long finally fell.
Chen Lu didn't bother to look at the marriage certificate anymore; he just smiled and wiped away the girl's tears.
"There's also a swearing-in ceremony, but it's voluntary. Would you two like to participate?" the staff member gently reminded them.
"Since we're already here, let's just announce it," Chen Lu said.
Although it felt quite awkward, it was something you only experience once in a lifetime, so I had to give it a try.
So, while Liang Zhirou's eyes were still slightly red, the two of them were led by staff to the national emblem, their arms pressed tightly together, each holding a red paper with black characters that read "Wedding Vows".
The staff would read a sentence aloud, and they would repeat it after them.
"We voluntarily become husband and wife."
Their voices were in unison and firm.
After they finished speaking, they glanced at each other secretly before hurriedly and nervously continuing their oath.
"From today onwards, we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that marriage brings us."
"Be filial to your parents, educate your children, respect and love each other, trust and encourage each other, and be understanding and accommodating to each other."
"To support each other through thick and thin, to love each other for a lifetime."
"......"
"The person taking the oath is Chen Lu."
"The person taking the oath, Liang, Liang Zhirou..."
He still stuttered a little.
Chen Lu turned his head and looked at the girl's serious yet adorable appearance, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
The whole process was not as awkward as he had expected; on the contrary, it made his heart pound.
As he recited the oath, memories of the past flooded his mind like a tide, and a smile naturally crept onto his lips.
That night... no, it can even be traced back to my childhood.
How could he have imagined that the girl who was so out of place in the world around her would become his future wife?
Looking back, the two realized that they had actually been through so much together.
......
"You tricked her into becoming your wife by giving me less than thirty yuan worth of burn ointment. Do you regret it now?"
Just as we stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Lu suddenly asked with a smile.
Looking back now, we really made a killing.
That thing deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
"You told me that thing only cost a dozen or so yuan that night. It turns out you've been lying to me since the first day we met."
"Actually, even earlier, back then I only had one bubble machine."
Liang Zhirou laughed in exasperation, one hand linked with his arm, still shamelessly wiping her eyes, and said in a tearful voice:
