my brother became a scum

I didn't say a word, put down my chopsticks and took my mobile phone, ready to ask the Internet Surveillance Office to deal with the information flow, but Zhang Chen sneered: "At this time, do you trust me?"

"Not sent?" My fingers have already tapped the first few digits, and I am relieved to hear him say that.

"No, I'm not that stupid."

"Thank you."

I put down the phone and picked up the chopsticks again, Zhang Chen cursed softly, I pretended not to hear.

After eating, I was deciding whether to continue working or just go to rest. Zhang Chen kicked the coffee table and asked me, "Come out with me for a stroll."

"Where are you going?" As I said that, my mind was already thinking about what clothes to wear to go out.

"Civil Affairs Bureau, go get the certificate." Zhang Chen raised his head and stared at me, his face didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Today is Saturday, and the Civil Affairs Bureau doesn't work." I replied to him solemnly, hoping to hear what he had to say next.

Zhang Chen stood up slowly, his eyes were level with mine: "You can use the privilege, we can get the certificate today, unless you don't want to."

"This is an abuse of power," I said, not very excitedly, in fact, I thought he was joking with me, "If you know the law and break the law, you will go to jail."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

When Zhang Chen said this, my heart skipped a beat, feeling a little unbelievable.

"I'm not kidding, I want to get a certificate with you, just tonight."

When children play house, one word can decide who gets married with whom and starts a family.

When teenagers and girls fall in love, they always like to regard "I will marry you in the future" as sweet love words.

Zhang Chen is over 30, and now he tells me that he is telling me to abuse my power, so I will go with him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate tonight.

At that moment I thought he was crazy, but I quickly realized that he has never been normal.

I thought about it and replied to him: "Let's do it on Monday, you can think about it for two more days."

"Chen Heping, I have always wanted to marry you," Zhang Chen said as naturally as drinking plain water, "Now that no one can stop me, I just want to get a license with you, okay?"

I have thought about starting a family with Chen Heping, but that was more than ten years ago, but it ended when I ran into that scene in Shanghai. My impulse and fantasy of love disappeared too quickly, as if never None of them ever surfaced.

But I clearly remember the engagement ring he put on me on the plane when he went to Hainan to arrest me, and the sentence "I can't marry you".

People always change very quickly, and some promises and things that could not be made and paid in the past gradually become able to promise and give, but they no longer have the desire and expectation at that time.

"No, after receiving the certificate, the organization will conduct a background check on your partner's identity. You have too many assets in your name. I married you, so it's hard to climb up."

I don't know why I responded to him with this reason, perhaps this reason is the coldest and most realistic.I thought that Zhang Chen would overturn the table angrily and have a big fight with me, but his expression was normal, and he even thoughtfully gave me a step: "I know, so I just said it casually."

He said that, but I felt that his proposal just now was a bit sincere.Zhang Chen probably really wanted to get a certificate with me and impulsively tried to start a family, but this impulse came too late.

I didn't go back to the room with him, but turned on the projection TV in the living room, didn't watch anything, just stared blankly.

With three cigarette butts poked in the ashtray, I dialed the number of the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau, leaned on the sofa, and rubbed the space between my eyebrows.

I said, "Old Wu, you haven't slept yet. I have something to ask you."

"Hey, Comrade Heping, tell me, what's the matter?" Old Wu is a good-natured and reliable person who has been in charge of the Civil Affairs Bureau for nearly ten years and has hardly made any mistakes.

"My partner and I have been together for a long time. He finally agreed to marry me today. I can't wait any longer. I want to get a certificate now. I don't know if I can apply to work on weekends. Is it against the organization's regulations?" I thought it was difficult for me to say these words, but after uttering the first word, the next words were not difficult. I realized that this might be the first time I sought "convenience" for my own affairs, and this made me I am very uncomfortable.

Old Wu smiled and replied to me: "Recently, we are working on a special service for the convenience of the people, providing on-site service for inconvenient young couples on weekends. Xiao Li is in charge of this. I will ask him to contact you later. What do you think?"

I knew in my heart that this event did not exist a few seconds ago, but Lao Wu has always been slick in his work. Before noon tomorrow at the latest, this event will be able to submit a complete plan and bring a wave of rhythm on the Internet.

"Okay, thank you, and one more thing, my wife is a man, so the procedures may be a bit more troublesome." As I said this, I felt something was wrong, and when I raised my head, I realized that Zhang Chen had returned at some point, standing there. At the head of the stairs, he looked at me quietly.

"Comrade Heping, with all due respect, is it Chairman Zhang Chen?" Old Wu's voice suddenly became serious. I rarely heard him like this in my memory, and it may be because I don't know him well enough.

"Yes."

"Have you thought it through?"

"I figured it out."

After I finished these four words, I felt like I was crazy too.

"Then I'll ask Xiao Li to find you, please send me your address."

Old Wu hung up the phone neatly. I guess he must have been disappointed in me at that moment.There are no secrets in the officialdom. I have an unclear relationship with Zhang Chen. People of Lao Wu's level basically know it well, but marrying a man who has a huge amount of property is only harmful to further progress, not beneficial.

It is completely unbearable to put down the label of government-business collusion and ideological deviation, and organizational considerations will become more cautious.

I thanked Old Wu, hung up the phone myself, and threw the phone on the coffee table.

Zhang Chen said to me coldly: "You are crazy."

"I just want to know if it's true or not that you said you wanted to marry me."

He walked to the side of the sofa, sat on my side, took my cigarette and lighter, lit the fire, held the cigarette in a beautiful posture, and spit out the smoke ring from his mouth, instantly confused and debauched, He said: "I want to destroy you, Chen Heping."

"You can't destroy me," I reached out and brushed the hair on his forehead, "The only person who can destroy me is myself."

"Don't you want to take revenge?" He spit out a warm smoke ring towards my wrist, with a vain smirk on his face, "Zheng Qiang, don't you want the U disk, your dream?"

"I also want to go crazy for a day." I tapped his forehead with my finger, and withdrew my hand again, "Just tonight, if you dare to marry, I will."

"Obviously I married you."

"I'm afraid not."

"Chen Heping," he called my name, familiar and intimate, no different from the countless times he called me in the past, "Do you like me?"

"I don't like you," the doorbell rang at this moment, and my aunt went to open the door. I twisted my fingers and replaced what I wanted to say, "I want to marry you."

My aunt brought a young man who looked familiar, so I asked, "Xiao Li?"

"It's me, hello Secretary!" He was carrying a bag, and his attitude was respectful but not obsequious. He was an old fritter.

I stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with him: "Sorry for asking you to work overtime at night."

"It's not overtime, just come here to enjoy yourself."

"Do you need any documents?"

"Please look at this form." I took the form, motioned Xiao Li to sit down, and handed the form to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen took the form and stared at it for a while.

He said, "I've changed my mind. I don't want to marry you again."

I didn't feel angry at all. From the very beginning, I didn't resist or look forward to this matter, but Xiao Li's face suddenly became very bad. I guess he felt embarrassed.

I'm used to Zhang Chen making things happen, and changing my mind every second. I reached for the form in Zhang Chen's hand and said, "If you don't want to end it, then don't end it."

But he was holding the thin paper tightly in his hand. If I tried harder, the paper might be torn in half.

I sighed and asked solemnly: "Is it going to end? I'll ask for the last time."

He raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he asked me: "Do you love me?"

"I won't marry someone I don't love." This is the truest thought in my life. If I didn't have the slightest affection for him, I would have turned around and left.

"Then we can't get married. I'm a scumbag, and I will drag you down in the future."

He said this naturally, as if he didn't care about the evaluation of scum at all, as if he really thought about me.

"I know you are a scumbag, and I know you will drag me down, Zhang Chen, I know you well," I let go of the hand holding the paper, and cupped his face with both hands, letting my forehead touch his face. We are so close that we can count each other's eyebrows, "I, Chen Heping, want to marry you today, will you agree?"

Zhang Chen closed his eyes, his eyelids and lips were trembling violently, after a long time, he said softly: "I want to marry you."

I froze for a moment, and after a while, I felt a little bit of sweetness. Soon, inexplicable ecstasy swept my heart, washing away the remaining reason and restraint.

In this cold winter day, I have not felt the taste of happiness for a long time. Countless people in my ears persuaded me, telling me to clear my mind and think carefully again.

But I have lost the ability to think, the whole world is surrounded by the word Zhang Chen, I know that tomorrow morning there will be a cold reality pouring over my head, and I will quarrel with Zhang Chen for what I insist on even separately.

But now, here, I can't hold back my urges and desires.

I want to marry Zhang Chen at any cost.

Everything that followed was like pressing the fast-forward button. I filled out the form with trembling hands. When Zhang Chen had already filled it out, we leaned together and took a photo. Xiao Li used the computer to enter the system to register. The printer spit out two sheets of hard paper, Xiao Li added a cover and official seal, and the two brightly red marriage certificates were handed over to me. It was Zhang Chen who remembered to pay the notary fee and hand over the wedding candy.

I sent Xiao Li away in a daze, turned my head, and saw Zhang Chen leaning on the sofa, laughing while fiddling with the marriage certificate in his hand.

This scene also became my nightmare in the dark after a long time.
