Note: The plot continues from the end of the previous chapter.
Zhou Jun hugged Meng Shuyu and lowered his head hesitantly to look at her expression.
For a moment he suspected that his future wife was speaking in a sarcastic way.
From the beginning of this year until midsummer this year, in the six months before moving into this new house, Meng Shuyu had two dreams that caught him off guard.
One time, she was unhappy at work during the day and had an argument with someone in her dream. She woke up in anger and couldn't fall asleep, so she went to him to talk with grievance.
Another time was when Mori Dai signed a new spokesperson in May this year. During the candidate stage, a first-line female celebrity who was contacted by the brand department secretly expressed her affection for him, and the gossip reached Meng Shuyu's ears.
Although Morishiro later signed another nationally famous celebrity couple, and the only sentence he said to the female star was "I already have a fiancée", Meng Shuyu couldn't help feeling a little emotional as they were in a different place at the time. One night she dreamed that he was cheating on her.
No, it seems to be bigamy.
He received a crying call from her in the middle of the night, and he video-chatted with her until dawn.
Fortunately, after we moved away, this kind of thing never happened again.
She always slept till dawn beside him.
"Then why are you crying like this?" Zhou Jun raised his hand and stroked the corners of her eyes. "What did you dream about?"
Meng Shuyu hugged him for a while, and her mixed emotions calmed down a little. She remembered that he had written a "self-criticism" to coax her for the bigamy he committed in her dream last time, and she felt like joking.
She raised her head and snorted coldly: "I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore and went to America."
"Am I such a bastard?" Zhou Jun frowned.
"That's right, and this time the victim was a 16-year-old girl."
"At 26, I cry when I dream. What will I do at 16?"
"Who said it wasn't? It's a pity that he has to suffer the pain of love at such a young age..." Meng Shuyu pouted, and while he had just woken up and still remembered the details, he told Zhou Jun the dream from beginning to end.
While listening, Zhou Jun wiped her face with a wet wipe and put a hot towel on her eyes.
Finally, I heard her ask, "If something like this really happened, would this be the only possible outcome?"
Zhou Jun thought carefully, putting himself in his 19-year-old self's shoes: "This should depend on you."
"Um?"
"If you really don't want me to leave, do you think I can leave?"
"Well, I'm not such a stingy person. It's only been two years. It passed in the blink of an eye."
Although for the sixteen-year-old girl, what made her difficult was probably not the time, but the uncertain future during the years of separation.
Meng Shuyu felt a little sour as he thought about it.
"Save your tears, Meng Shuyu," Zhou Jun rubbed her face, "Be careful not to have enough at night."
"… "
"Shameless," Meng Shuyu lost all emotion and gently hit his shoulder, "Zhou Jun, I think you were cuter when you were 19."
"What should I do? The person you are going to marry today is 29-year-old Zhou Jun."
Meng Shuyu was stunned for a moment, as if awakened from a dream. He quickly threw off the quilt and rushed to the bathroom to wash up: "Why didn't you remind me earlier!"
Today is November 5th, the day Zhou Jun has waited for half a year to finally get his marriage certificate.
After the proposal half a year ago, Zhou Jun and Meng Shuyu discussed when to get the marriage certificate, and originally wanted to pick a date nearby.
But Meng Shuyu flipped through the calendar and thought of his birthday.
And it has to be this day.
There is only one chance in a lifetime, a day that determines the whole life. Of course Zhou Jun respected her wishes and had to live with her "without any status" for half a year.
Before going to bed last night, Meng Shuyu was still thinking about today's arrangements. She was nervous for a long time before going to bed, and ended up having a dream that made her dizzy. In the morning, she was so busy trying to digest her emotions that she almost didn't have time to put on makeup.
The Civil Affairs Bureau in Nanhuai is open for registration from Monday to Saturday.
Today happened to be Saturday, and the two of them didn't have to go to work. They made an appointment in advance and prepared all the documents meticulously. The process of getting the certificate went smoothly without any problems.
The moment he walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Meng Shuyu felt so fast that he couldn't recover. It felt like he had traveled from the age of sixteen to the age of twenty-six.
"Are you done with it?" Meng Shuyu looked at the two red books in his hand and shook them in the sunlight.
"What, do you still want to regret it?" Zhou Jun raised his eyebrows.
Meng Shuyu looked at him and asked, "Is it too late?"
Zhou Jun took the red book from her hand and looked like he was going to lock it in the safe.
Meng Shuyu smiled and tried to grab it: "Don't worry, I still want to take a picture."
"I'll hold you and shoot you."
"Stingy!" Meng Shuyu complained, but he still took out his phone and took a photo of the two red books. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want to post it on WeChat Moments?"
After Meng Shuyu was transferred back to the headquarters, they initially considered that her new position was not stable yet and did not want to cause rumors, so they decided not to make it public until it was necessary.
Later, when her work became more stable, she stopped hiding it and decided to let things take their course.
As a result, everyone felt that she was being honest and it was definitely not an office romance.
After all, because they worked in two different places, it was almost always the driver who picked up Meng Shuyu to and from work. Occasionally, Meng Shuyu worked overtime until later than Zhou Jun, and Zhou Jun would pick her up in person, but at that time, he would not meet any colleagues.
Meng Shuyu rarely posts on his personal Moments for professional reasons, and even if he does, they are mostly photos of delicious food and beautiful scenery.
So until now, colleagues at the headquarters only know that she has a boyfriend with whom she has a good relationship, who picks her up and drops her off to get off work every day regardless of rain or shine, but they don’t know who her boyfriend is.
Morishiro is even less well-informed.
One time, Tang Xuanxuan saw the dating photos she posted on her Moments and asked her if she had a boyfriend. She said yes. I thought she would admit it if she continued to ask, but Tang Xuanxuan turned off the microphone for some reason.
She didn't expect that what Tan Qin said would come true - with the confidentiality work she and Zhou Jun did, the truth wouldn't be exposed even after the child grew up.
No one had noticed it even after getting the marriage certificate, and Meng Shuyu, the person involved, was getting a little anxious.
"Send." Zhou Jun nodded to confirm her.
Meng Shuyu instructed him: "Then I will explore the way first, and you can follow me after you see the situation!"
Sitting on the return bus, Meng Shuyu pondered the caption of the red photo, and finally came up with a concise and to the point copy: Ding—certificate-holding card for work.
As soon as the circle of friends was posted, except for close friends and family members who already knew that she and Zhou Jun got their marriage certificate today, there were rows of surprised exclamation marks below.
Meng Shuyu's largest social circle consists of colleagues. A group of colleagues quickly swarmed in, and blessings and likes poured in all at once, as well as private messages.
The phone vibrated one after another, Meng Shuyu was dazzled, and he first replied to the person who had sent him a private message to send his blessings.
After returning to the previous round, I opened the dialog box and suddenly found a new message popped up in a long-silent group: SOS! Have you seen Sister Shu Yu’s circle of friends
Meng Shuyu was stunned and clicked into the group—
Feng Yiming: I saw...
Tang Xuanxuan: I got the certificate on Mr. Zhou’s birthday.
Feng Yiming: Today happens to be Saturday, so I guess you didn’t notice that it’s Mr. Zhou’s birthday.
Tang Xuanxuan: After chasing her for so long, Shu Yu got a boyfriend as soon as she returned to Nanhuai. They got married after only half a year. I sympathize with Mr. Zhou and shed a tear for him>_<
Meng Shuyu: “?”
When the traffic light turned red, Zhou Jun tilted his head to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Meng Shuyu showed him the screen of his phone and pointed to his temple: "Do you think they are under too much pressure at work and this is causing problems?"
It would be fine if it was accidentally posted to the small group where she was, but shouldn’t a normal person make the connection between the fact that she got the marriage certificate on Zhou Jun’s birthday and think – is her husband Zhou Jun
The news continues—
Feng Yiming: Well, I actually saw through this a long time ago.
Tang Xuanxuan: How do you mean
Feng Yiming: It doesn’t matter if I talk about it now. You don’t know that on the first day Mr. Zhou came, I saw the call note that Sister Shu Yu gave him—Matsushimaya Nanhuai Store 187, tall, cool, long-legged handsome guy doesn’t like outdated routines. At that time, I valued my life so much that I could only pretend not to understand.
Meng Shuyu: “…”
Tang Xuanxuan: I had seen this kind of sign a long time ago. Once, Sister Shu Yu was sick, and President Zhou sent me to take care of her and cleaned up for her. Even though I was such a licker, I still couldn’t catch her. It was obvious that I tried my best. No wonder Sister Shu Yu ran away as soon as a position became available at the headquarters. I guess she was afraid of being chased. This is what it means to be a licker until you end up with nothing.
Zhou Jun: “…”
Feng Yiming: This kind of thing can't be forced. It's been almost a year, and Mr. Zhou should have let it go.
Tang Xuanxuan: Then should we like Sister Shu Yu's Moments? Not liking it would be impolite, but if we do, wouldn't it be like rubbing salt into Mr. Zhou's wounds? Will Mr. Zhou hold a grudge against us
"… "
You two think a lot.
Meng Shuyu couldn't stand it anymore, and just when he was about to send a message to remind them that one of the parties involved was in the group, Zhou Jun took the phone away.
Zhou Jun: "You can like it. I won't bear grudges. If you are still in Sendai next year, come and have a drink at our wedding."
The voice message was sent and the group fell silent.
More than a hundred kilometers away, Tang Xuanxuan and Feng Yiming left the group chat in dead silence.
The longest ten minutes of their lives passed, and they refreshed the page to see the red book photo that Zhou Jun posted on his Moments. To be more precise, it was a screenshot of the photo from Meng Shuyu’s Moments: Mrs. Zhou, happy cooperation for the rest of my life.
