What makes you think I will always like you?

"Because it is your birthday today, you will not turn twenty until the day after your birthday..."

After hearing this, the girl couldn't help but look sideways at Chen Lu, her eyes filled with dullness.

Chen Lu swallowed unconsciously. Although Liang Zhirou had no intention of questioning, he still felt embarrassed.

Don't look at me, I have returned everything I learned in college to the teacher.

"You can wait until tomorrow. We will be together for the rest of our lives, and it won't be a day before we get the certificate!"

The staff smiled and comforted the two.

She had just come to work here not long ago, and it was the first time she saw this kind of couple coming to get their certificates on their birthday, and she found it very interesting.

It's just... so delicious.

After Chen Lu fully reacted, the more he thought about it, the more speechless he became.

I was nervous all night last night, and got up early again today...

Then you told me that I couldn’t get my certificate on the day I reached my age?

I'm so emotional. You want me to wait another day?

What's the difference between this and those unconventional dogs!

Unfortunately, the law is the law, so Chen Lu had no choice but to hold Liang Zhirou's hand and leave.

The staff smiled and waved goodbye to the two of them, secretly regretting that they did not help issue the couple's marriage certificate.

As a result, she never expected that the two of them would come again early the next morning.

They were the first couple she received today.

"I'm so afraid that my girlfriend will run away." The staff member who got up early to go to work suddenly woke up from his nap and joked to Chen Lu with a chuckle.

"Such a good girlfriend, you would be scared too." Chen Lu smiled, "I pulled her out of bed while she was still asleep."

Next to her, Liang Zhirou lowered her head and was embarrassed to speak, her cheeks getting redder and redder.

Because she was actually the one who dragged Chen Lu out of bed.

"It's no problem today, please sign here."

Taking the paper and pen, Liang Zhirou leaned over and carefully wrote her name, stroke by stroke.

This is the most serious time in her life.

After confirming all the information, all that remains is to print the marriage certificate.

To say that all the time before was just anticipation and preparation.

Seeing her marriage certificate being printed, Liang Zhirou finally realized that she was really married.

With the person you love most.

The heartbeat became faster and faster, gradually covering up her breathing.

Chen Lu had the same mentality, and he unconsciously held Liang Zhirou's hand.

Looking sideways, Liang Zhirou pursed her lips slightly, her eyes still looking steadily in front of her, looking quite calm.

But he could see that there were tears in the girl's eyes.

“Save your tears for the wedding day.”

He put his mouth next to the girl's ear and laughed, not realizing that the tone of his words was not stable.

After waiting for a while, the marriage certificate belonging to the two of them was finally printed. Liang Zhirou took it with careful hands, and then opened it eagerly and looked through it.

Although there is a layer of mist in front of my eyes, I can still barely see something clearly.

Seeing the wedding photos of the two of them and the unconscious smiles on each other's faces in the photos, she also curled up her lips, and the tears she had been holding back for a long time finally fell.

Chen Lu didn't care to read the marriage certificate, he just smiled and wiped the tears of the girl next to him.

"There is still an oath-taking session, but this is voluntary. Do you two want to participate?" the staff reminded softly.

"You're already here, let's announce it." Chen Lu said.

Although it feels quite embarrassing, after all, this is something you only experience once in a lifetime, so you have to give it a try.

So, while Liang Zhirou's eyes were still slightly red, the two were led by the staff to the national emblem, their arms tightly pressed together, and each person stretched out one hand, holding a wedding vow written in black and red on a red paper.

When the staff chanted something, they followed suit.

"We became husband and wife of our own free will."

Their voices were uniform and firm.

After saying that, they glanced at each other secretly, and then nervously prepared to continue their oath.

"From today on, we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that marriage has given us."

"Be filial to your parents, teach your children below, respect and love each other, trust and encourage each other, understand and give in to each other."

"Stay close to each other and love each other for a lifetime."

"..."

"Swearer, Chen Lu."

"Swearer, Liang, Liang Zhirou..."

In the end, I still stuttered.

Chen Lu turned his head and looked at the girl's serious and cute look, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Not only was the whole process not as embarrassing as he expected, it actually made his heart tremble.

When he was reciting the oath just now, past memories kept resurfacing in his mind like a tide, and the corners of his mouth naturally raised.

That night...no, even goes back to when I was a kid.

How could he have imagined that the girl who was incompatible with the world around her was actually his future wife.

Reminiscing about the past, the two of them had experienced so much together without knowing it.

......

"How does it feel to be tricked into becoming your wife with just a burn ointment?"

As soon as he walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Lu suddenly asked with a smile. He remembered that the box of ointment cost less than thirty yuan.

Thinking about it now, it’s really crazy money.

That plaster is worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Liang Zhirou held his arm with one hand, still wiping the corners of her eyes in vain, and said with a cry:

"The day after my birthday will be our wedding anniversary."

The girl held the marriage certificate in her hand like a baby, liking it no matter how she looked at it.

Chen Lu looked up at the sun in the distance. The weather was very good today, "When will we have the wedding?"

He wasn't in a hurry, but he couldn't help but ask.

Obtaining a certificate is legal recognition.

The wedding is to widely announce the marriage of two people to all relatives and friends, and gain social recognition.

Just like very few people hear about whose child has received a certificate, but more often they hear about whose child got married and just had a wedding.

Only when both processes are completed can it be considered complete.

"Should we wait for the wedding?" Liang Zhirou's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, as if she was afraid of upsetting him, "I want to wait until the beginning of next year, or after my junior year, when I don't have to go to school... ..”

"why?"

Liang Zhirou turned her face away, embarrassed to speak, and the words she held back in her mouth were stained with a blush, slowly creeping onto her pretty face.

Chen Lu was thoughtful, but still said subconsciously: "Okay, if you want to wait, just wait."

It's already October, let alone the beginning of next year. Even if Liang Zhirou finishes her junior year, it will only take a little more than half a year to finish her studies.

Getting married is not a trivial matter. It requires contacting a wedding company and choosing a good and auspicious date. All these preparations take time.

Moreover, he also wanted to buy a wedding house before getting married.

"Quickly take a photo and send it to Auntie." Chen Lu still felt that this matter was more important at the moment.

The girl nodded slightly and took a satisfactory photo before sending it over.

Xiao Xunfang was not used to using WeChat, so she called her not long after receiving it.

On the phone, Liang Zhirou was talking and laughing, while Chen Lu was a little shy. He just listened quietly and occasionally answered a few words——

Because he suddenly realized that he was not thick-skinned enough to call mom on the spot.

......

After hanging up the phone, the wrinkles at the corners of Xiao Xunfang's mouth twitched slightly, and then a faint smile appeared.

She sat back on the sofa and held the photo frame on the coffee table in her hands.

In the photo, the man has a handsome face and looks lean and capable.

"Husband, Zhirou is getting married."

She spoke slowly with a hoarse yet gentle voice.

"Do you also feel that it's very fast? In my impression, the days when my daughter stepped on a small stool and learned to cook with a frying spoon have just passed."

"You were about to leave back then, but you were still worried about your life and death. Look, Zhirou is so happy now."

"Even if we don't do anything to help, my daughter will grow up well on her own.

"Zhirou made her own money and found a good partner. She is no worse than other girls..."

She kept talking with a silly smile on her face, and suddenly burst into tears again.

......

The two of them did not go home, but drove to Chen Lu's parents' place.

When she walked in, Wang Xiaoxia was bending over to mop the floor. Her long hair was tied back into a bun for easy work, just like she had done all these years.

The familiar picture made Chen Lu feel as if he had returned to his childhood.

But there is a difference if you look closely. Wang Xiaoxia is no longer young.

No matter how beautiful a person is, time can still leave its mark, and no one can escape it.

Chen Lu looked at the crow's feet at the corners of his mother's eyes, suddenly took a deep breath, and his Adam's apple rolled.

"mom."

"Ok?"

"I am married!!"

Chen Lu shouted, his eyes turning red without realizing it.
