Getting Married

Actually, there was nothing special about the day they got their marriage certificate. It was on a Tuesday afternoon, and the usually bustling Civil Affairs Bureau was relatively quiet.

However, before getting the certificate, a few amusing incidents occurred.

As is well known, the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau also take weekends off, so marriage certificates are generally only processed on weekdays. However, both Bai Xunyin and Yu Luoyin had work commitments during weekdays and couldn’t get away. 

So, despite the successful proposal more than two months ago, they still hadn’t managed to get married.

Seeing that the hot weather of July and August was getting closer and closer, Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but become increasingly anxious, feeling like his sanity was about to crack.

Especially when he noticed that Bai Xunyin wasn’t wearing the dazzling big blue diamond on her ring finger.

His sanity was truly at its limit.

Yu Luoyin felt he couldn’t appear petty and disappointed, but inside, he felt like his trust had been shattered. 

He had to endure it and casually asked, “Why aren’t you wearing the ring?”

“The ring?” 

Unexpectedly, when Bai Xunyin heard this, she flicked the delicate white gold chain around her fair neck, and with a flash of blue light, the exquisitely crafted blue diamond ring jumped out from under her collar. 

She smiled and said, “It’s here.”

…

So, she had been wearing the ring as a necklace. 

Yu Luoyin felt a bit aggrieved and asked, “Why don’t you wear it on your hand?”

Bai Xunyin seemed to fall silent for a moment after hearing his question, then said expressionlessly, “If I wear it on my hand, am I waiting for a thief or a robber?”

Thieves were discerning these days. Yu Luoyin always liked to give the best of everything, and that thing looks expensive. She’s not stupid, so she can’t wear it openly every day, can she?

As the saying goes, not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves having ideas.

Yu Luoyin finally realized it. The next day, he went to buy a simple diamond ring for Bai Xunyin and forcefully put it on her finger.

Anyway, he felt she had to wear it—otherwise, wasn’t his proposal in vain? Besides, Bai Xunyin was attracting too much attention.

At first, Bai Xunyin didn’t think much about what effect a ring could have, but over the past week, she found that fewer people asked for her phone number when she was out.

It seemed to be somewhat effective.

One night after their ‘usual exercise,’ Bai Xunyin was feeling sleepy. She vaguely felt Yu Luoyin approaching her like a little puppy and murmuring softly in her ear, “Yinyin, shall we go get our marriage certificate?”

This was the first time he had spoken the word ‘marriage certificate’ without hinting at it.

Bai Xunyin opened her sleepy eyes, thought for a moment, and with a voice tinged with the languid sensation of post-exercise, she said, “Sure.”

She agreed just to get Yu Luoyin to stop bothering her.

But soon after, Bai Xunyin began to regret agreeing so easily.

The overly excited man kept them up half the night, and the thought of having to wake up early for work the next day made her feel a bit unbearable.

Didn’t they say, “There are no fields without work, only exhausted oxen”? 

Why did it seem to be completely reversed for her and Yu Luoyin? 

After a lot of fussing around, the girl was exhausted, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she fell into a deep sleep.

After that, getting the marriage certificate was continually postponed.

Mainly because of work reasons, they only had time on Sat.u.r.days and Sundays, but unfortunately, the Civil Affairs Bureau didn’t have staff on weekends.

Yu Luoyin, busy and frustrated, couldn’t help but complain, “Is it so difficult for a workaholic to get married?!”

“…” 

His colleagues, stunned by his sudden anger, were silent for a while before weakly adding, “Yes.”

Finally, one quiet afternoon, Yu Luoyin decided to take both of their household registers and drove straight to the research inst.i.tute.

At the entrance, the security guard stopped him and said, “Sir, you need to register!”

…

He had forgotten how strictly confidential this research base was, except for employees, outsiders weren’t allowed in, unlike hospitals where the main entrance is usually open.

“Sorry.” 

Yu Luoyin stepped back and handed over his ID card to the security guard to register his information.

“Sir, you can’t enter here.” 

The security guard pointed to the internal phone. 

“If you’re looking for someone, I can help relay the message.”

“Okay.” 

Yu Luoyin smiled politely and said, “I’m looking for Bai Xunyin. Could you please inform her?”

Feeling joyous about what was about to happen, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

Five minutes after the security guard relayed the message, Yu Luoyin heard hurried footsteps approaching from nearby.

It was Bai Xunyin, wearing her work uniform and gla.s.ses, her pet.i.te face looking even smaller with the gla.s.ses on. 

She had an expression of ‘surprise’ written all over her face as she ran up to Yu Luoyin and asked softly, “What are you doing here?”

Without answering, Yu Luoyin just stared at her and asked, “Are you busy now?”

Bai Xunyin glanced at her watch and said, “Not really, why?”

“In that case, let’s skip work for an hour together.” 

Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but smile, leaning down to whisper a bad idea that didn’t conform to socialist core values in her ear, “Let’s go get our marriage certificate.”

Bai Xunyin couldn’t believe Yu Luoyin was so crazy. She just looked at him dumbfoundedly.

She forced herself to swallow the words “What’s the rush? I’m not going anywhere.”

Seeing her disbelief, Yu Luoyin decided to further confuse her thoughts and begged, “Come on, let’s go— I’ve brought our household registers.”

…

Preparations were complete.

Bai Xunyin had never imagined that getting married, committing her life to someone and being bound to another person, would be so simple.

But she couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

“Just…” 

After a while, Bai Xunyin could only look up and down at herself, still wearing her work uniform, and push her gla.s.ses up with some confusion. 

“Just like this?”

“It’s fine like this. I also have a lab coat in my car,” Yu Luoyin shamelessly replied with a grin. 

“It’ll even be like couple outfits.”

…

Having such a bizarre ‘couple outfit’ for the first time, Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but laugh at him.

But as Yu Luoyin dragged her out and helped her put on the coat, he was unapologetic. 

“When other couples get married, they wear lab coats for the official photo. We’re wearing couple outfits, which not only match our personalities but also stand out. Why not?”

Fine, Bai Xunyin was persuaded. After all, Yu Luoyin had been a ‘madman’ since high school.

But occasionally being led by him to do something crazy made her heart race.

Psychologists have studied and argued that people are naturally attracted to things that complement them.

Mama’s boys attract strong women, Cinderellas attract rich heirs… and bad boys attract good girls.

Although she wouldn’t say it out loud, Bai Xunyin knew in her heart that Yu Luoyin would always have a fatal attraction for her.

From the past to the present.

Actually getting married was a simple matter. There weren’t many people at the Civil Affairs Bureau on Tuesday afternoon, and they didn’t have to wait in line.

They just needed the prepared doc.u.ments, five minutes, and nine yuan.

The process of returning to the car and then back to the research inst.i.tute felt like going into battle. Everything happened at double speed, with chaos all around. Bai Xunyin’s mind was buzzing, and before she could even think about the bright red marriage certificate in her hand, Yu Luoyin had already driven the car back.

In a moment, he s.n.a.t.c.hed the marriage certificate with his slender hand.

“Wife, we’re here.”

The unfamiliar mode of address brought Bai Xunyin back to her senses. She realized they were already back at the research inst.i.tute.

The ‘hour off’ Yu Luoyin mentioned actually took only forty minutes—fortunately, the Civil Affairs Bureau wasn’t far away.

Mechanically unbuckling her seatbelt, Bai Xunyin felt she should say something before getting out of the car, but she didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, before getting out of the car, the man’s long fingers gently held her delicate wrist.

“Just one thing before we go.” 

Yu Luoyin’s sharp eyebrows and eyes were filled with an obvious smile, his cool breath approaching. A kiss with a hint of lemon mint landed on the corner of the girl’s lips. 

“Happy honeymoon.”

Bai Xunyin’s fair earlobes blushed.

Oh, she knew what she should say now. 

So the girl pursed her lips, her eyes s.h.i.+ning. 

“You too.”

June 23rd, their first day of marriage.

The legendary wedding anniversary.

When Bai Xunyin returned to the office with a slightly reddened face, an observant colleague stopped her.

“Oh, Xiao Bai.” 

The colleague from the next team, Sister Fan, came out with a water cup and saw the girl returning, curious. “Where did you just go? The director went to your desk looking for you.”

Took a day off.

Bai Xunyin smiled, shook her head, and replied softly, “Just… went to the restroom. Should I go to the director’s office now?”

“No need, it seems like he didn’t have anything important,” Sister Fan mumbled, pouring water as she chatted casually. 

“Finally, you don’t have to go to the lab this afternoon. You can take a break. Among the young people in our inst.i.tute, you’re the most hardworking, Xiao Bai. Why are your lips like that?” 

As Fan Jie spoke, she took a sudden turn, catching Bai Xunyin off guard. Subconsciously, she touched her lips.

There was a faint mark, vaguely in the shape of teeth.

Bai Xunyin immediately felt embarra.s.sed and quickly took out her phone to use the screen as a mirror. Sure enough, there was a small, indistinct mark.

…

When did Yu Luoyin bite her? 

How did she not notice?

Annoying ghost.

Sister Fan didn’t notice Bai Xunyin’s embarra.s.sment and continued, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Bai Xunyin wiped her lips dry, dryly lying, “I accidentally bit myself just now.”

“You, after all, are still a child.” 

Fan Jie smiled, lifted her cup, took a sip, and asked again, “Xiao Bai, I saw your boyfriend in your Moments. He’s quite handsome. Do you two have plans to get married?”

Bai Xunyin was slightly stunned.

At this moment, she understood why Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but annoy people with their affectionate moments. Because when emotions surged, the feeling was irresistible—she wanted to share her joy with the people around her, but inadvertently, it turned into ‘showing off’.

Bai Xunyin smiled, paused for a moment, and said, “Sister Fan, my boyfriend and I have already registered our marriage.”

“Huh? So sudden?” Fan Jie was surprised, looking at her with some astonishment. “When?”

She couldn’t say it was ‘just now’.

Bai Xunyin smiled without saying a word, quietly watching her.

So Sister Fan’s focus soon s.h.i.+fted from ‘when did you register’ to ‘when did you handle the paperwork’.

After finis.h.i.+ng this gla.s.s of water with her, Bai Xunyin finally returned to her desk.

Her fingertips, which had cooled down, accidentally touched her face, and she found that it was still warm.

She had actually gotten married just like that. 

It was truly miraculous.

But inexperienced first love is charming, while love that withstands trials is priceless.

She and Yu Luoyin had both, so Bai Xunyin felt that the timing was just right.
