Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1416, Section 636: A Simple Date [Part 2]

Steam rises from the piping hot beef broth, with oil floating on the clear surface.

The crispy, caramelized flatbread was stuffed with beef.

Looking at this breakfast, Wang Xiaohu felt a wave of sadness wash over him.

"Why are you sighing?" Xiao Che frowned.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head meaningfully: "I don't know when we'll have it next time."

Xiao Che smiled: "If you'd like to have lunch again in the evening, would you like to?"

"Is this interesting?" Wang Xiaohu scoffed. "Can't I just express my feelings?"

"No," the car urged, "eat quickly."

"Good good."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaohu picked up a spoon and scooped out half a spoonful of chili oil. He poured half of it into his own bowl and pushed the rest towards the cart.

Looking at the bright red chili oil, Xiao Che tapped the table with her fingertips: "She was just complaining about my name being Xiao Xing, but she's not complaining anymore."

"Complaining is one thing, eating is another; they're two separate things." Wang Xiaohu took a bite of his flatbread, his cheeks stuffed full.

Then he vaguely defended himself: "Besides, I was planning to treat everyone today anyway, who wants to split the bill with you?"

Xiao Che raised an eyebrow, scooped up a spoonful of spicy soup, soaked it in the baked bun, and took a small bite: "Then I'll listen to you."

Wang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

And so, the two of them ate their breakfast together at the table.

During their conversation about the performance on the 6th, they also talked about Bach's Three Inventions.

Despite being a couple, neither of them would give in when they disagreed.

Their back-and-forth argument even caused them to stop eating, attracting frequent glances from other diners.

However, it might suddenly stop and turn the page.

"Let's go."

"Let's go, it's so hot."

After paying the bill and leaving the house, the two turned left.

The sunlight shines on the asphalt road, and the shops line the street one after another.

Neither of them had planned their date in advance.

Of course, this was suggested by the car owner.

So they just wandered aimlessly along the road.

Passing by a pastry shop, Wang Xiaohu went straight in and picked up a bag of mung bean cakes. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was sweet but not greasy. He then took out a fruit candy from his own bag and tossed it to him.

Wang Xiaohu looked closely and said, "Isn't this the candy I gave you on Children's Day?"

The car grinned: "Yeah."

Wang Xiaohu was about to be unhappy because the car hadn't eaten the candy in time, but then he heard the car continue speaking.

"I can't bear to eat it."

These words, spoken with a hint of coquetry, struck Wang Xiaohu like a hammer blow to the head.

It's buzzing.

Wang Xiaohu: "You can eat it. If you like it, I'll buy more."

Xiao Che: "But I don't like to eat it." Wang Xiaohu was confused again: "You don't like to eat it? Then you're saying you can't bear to part with it?"

Xiao Che: "I may not like it, but you gave it to me. That's a different matter, okay?"

Wang Xiaohu seemed to have returned from the ground to the sky.

"Let's go!" the car said with a smile, quickening its pace.

At the same time, in the lobby of the Yudong District Civil Affairs Bureau.

Ang Lee held their identification documents, while Chen Xuan stood in line side by side, carrying a small canvas bag.

The waiting in line was smooth and uneventful; filling out forms, signing, and submitting photos were all completed step by step.

Getting married is such a simple thing; in the blink of an eye, two people are legally married.

After receiving the two bright red marriage certificates, Ang Lee gently traced the gold lettering on them with his fingertips.

"Feeling at ease now?" Chen Xuan asked with a soft laugh from the side.

Ang Lee laughed: "Of course."

After a moment, she said, "Thank you, Teacher Xiaomi."

Chen Xuan grabbed Li An's arm and said, "Likewise."

After leaving the service hall, the two put their documents into their backpacks.

At that moment, their gazes softened with tenderness.

After years of trial and error, everything has finally come to a conclusion today, and from now on they are a family bound by law.

Without posting on social media or making phone calls, the two simply sent a message home and then found a nearby coffee shop to plan their itinerary for the next few days.

At noon, the two found a nearby casual restaurant for lunch. There were no fancy dishes, just a plate of stir-fried pork and a dish of seasonal vegetables. They ate a simple meal as a way to commemorate their marriage registration.

After thinking for a moment, Li An sent a message to the car.
-
On the other side of the road, a car heard its phone vibrate and then took out its phone.

next second.

"Hahaha! The teacher and his wife got their marriage certificate!"

Wang Xiaohu leaned closer to examine the photo, nodding repeatedly, and sighed, "Finally, it's a perfect ending!"

After a moment, "Can I call the teacher?"

Xiao Che: "I suggest you don't call. I guess the teacher and his wife don't want to be disturbed by certain people."

Wang Xiaohu: "I don't count as some of those people."

Car: "You decide."

After stopping at the crossroads for a while and having a brief discussion, the two decided to temporarily change their route.

Finally, an hour later, they appeared at the entrance of Shengli Street Elementary School.

It was afternoon, the start of school, and groups of younger students were chasing and playing on the playground in the distance, their shouts drifting out through the iron fence.

The small train station stopped outside the school gate, its gaze falling on the mottled exterior wall of the teaching building.

This is where she spent six years of her childhood. She used to carry her schoolbag in and out of the school gate every day, and it feels like a long, long time has passed in the blink of an eye.

"I used to love going to the playground with someone after class to climb the horizontal bar, and we'd buy spicy snacks at the convenience store near the school gate on our way home."

Xiao Che spoke softly, his tone tinged with a hint of reminiscence, "The school uniforms for the younger students have all been changed this year."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaohu suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Can we go in?"

The little car's eyes lit up: "Why not?"
