Although Shen Xi believed she acted a little rash, she did not regret it one bit. Her phone had not stopped ringing, but she would not tum off her phone even if her phone blew up with calls because these calls were from her family.
Li Yuan’s phone also blew up. He was the second choice since Shen Xi’s phone line was busy. Their family tried both numbers to see which one they could get through to.
Half an hour later, Shen Xi created a group chat and added all her family members in, so they could communicate through the chat. Only then, did their phones quiet down.
There would not be as much trouble if she got a marriage license in secret without telling anyone. However, Shen Xi did not want to keep it a secret from those who loved and cared for her. She must take up responsibility for her doings and decisions.
Besides, it was not like she could hide it forever since the truth would come out sooner or later. Sure, it was only a matter of time before she was going to get married. People might think she was too hasty.
Hang on. Apart from her and Li Yuan, everyone believed she was too hasty in her decision. Nevertheless, this had been on her mind for a long time. She made up her mind the first time they locked eyes on the day of her rebirth.
Perhaps it was long before that. She knew he was the man for her when he carried her body away after her tragic death in her first life.
For a long time —a time too long for her to remember ~ she would see him in her dreams every night. The feeling could not be more real.
Following her rebirth, she would be scared because she believed her daily dose of joy was stolen. She was afraid that everything would disappear into thin air the moment she opened her eyes as everything could only be a dream.
With her phone notifications beeping endlessly, she was snapped out of her thoughts. Song Wenye was spamming her phone with private messages, blowing her phone with question marks and gifs of being in awe.
Sitting by the girl, Li Yuan gently held her hand and felt the slight tremble from her body. Something was bugging her as she looked out of it with deep sadness in her eyes. His heart went out to her. He whispered, “Don’t be scared. I’m here for you.”
She was insecure and had always been. He would space out while looking at her too, feeling terrified that she might go poof someday.
Just like the other day, she suddenly appeared on his wall and gave him the sweetest smile. She was a ray of sunshine that crashed into his world and his heart without warning.
“Yes.” Shen Xi gave a firm nod before burying herself against his chest. She breathed in the smell that was uniquely his and soothing to her soul.
This was not a dream. She was really back. Everything was real. She would be here, spending her life with him. Just like many ordinary couples, they would go through life’s mundanities, have children around them, and live happily ever after.
“Don’t worry, I’ll explain to your parents and family.” Li Yuan patted the girl’s back and rested his chin against her head while tenderly and intimately nuzzling her. “Leave the rest to me.”
“Okay.” Shen Xi lifted her head to meet his eyes before breaking out in a bright smile and leaning in for a peck on the lips. “Brother, you’re the best.”
Putting his weight forward, Li Yuan fastened the back of her head and deepened the kiss. The butterfly kisses bore no sexual undertone but tender loving to the core.
Now that Shen Xi had the marriage license in hand, she wanted to shove all her thoughts aside, not think about the aftermath, or reflect on other people’s reactions. For the first time ever, she chose to go with her will and put into action her inner heart’s desire.
Instead of going anywhere else, the pair went home and got ready for the storm that was to come.
Shen Zhangging was the first to return home and was surprised by their presence there. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Since the ship had sailed, there was nothing he could say to change that fact. It was not like he could make them sign the divorce papers. That would not do.
Shen Zhangging was unable to sit still all day as he had a feeling something big would happen. It never occurred to him that his darling daughter went and got herself married!
“Dad.” Shen Xi stood up and smiled at him.
“Dad.” Li Yuan cried as well.
Although dying to tell Li Yuan to get lost, Shen Zhangqing resorted to giving him the evil eye. Look what he had done.
“Dad, it was my idea.” Shen Xi repeated the words she had sent on the group chat.
Had Shen Zhangqing known this was going to happen, he would have hidden the household register. Now he was wallowing in regret. “Good for you!”
“Tm sorry to let you down.” Holding onto Li Yuan, Shen Xi took a step forward and stopped Shen Zhangqing from talking. “If I had to do it over, my decision would remain the same.”
“You…” Shen Zhangging pointed at her, unable to get another word out. With his face turning black, it took a lot for him to add. “What are your plans now?”
Shen Zhangqing and his wife had prepared themselves for this situation, but it came too suddenly. It never crossed anyone’s mind they would get the marriage license out of the blue.
He nearly had a heart attack because of the stunt they pulled.
“Dad, we’ll have the wedding next.” Li Yuan adapted quite quickly to calling him Dad. He said with utmost sincerity, “Xixi wants to wait until later in the year when it’s spring. We want your opinions on this.”
While rushing home, Shen Zhangging had time to think it through, but it did not make him feel any better. He took a glance at Li Yuan. “Let’s wait until everyone arrives. It’s not something we can decide.”
In the past, Shen Zhangqing and his wife had the say of their daughter’s wedding.
Yet now, Xixi had the Fu family. The Fu family had just reunited with Xixi, only for her to get married. More than the Shen family, the Fu family must be experiencing a wilder ride on the emotional roller coaster.
Shen Xi had already explained in the group and individually to her Fu parents that they only registered the marriage while the wedding would take place later. She did not want the Fu family to travel all the way here because of this. Shen Xi was going to visit the Fu family together with Li Yuan once it was
the winter holidays.
However, she knew that the Fu family would not listen to her even if she put the word out there. They would fly here for a face-to-face meeting.
Having read the news, Yun Jinping and Jiang Yin hurried back. Along with them was Ruan Sisi.
Immediately after stepping into the living room, Ruan Sisi tipped Shen Xi the wink and gave her the thumbs up. She got to give props to her teacher for that bad*ss move of tying the knot unannounced.
Wait. She would not be surprised if her teacher was to announce she was pregnant with a child.. Was her teacher an ordinary person? No!
