Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 69. Official Announcement
Caption: [First date with my wife.]

Below is a set of nine-square grids.

Jiang Jixu didn't know when Lu Lishen took the picture.

But in every photo, there is her figure—profile, back view, distant view…

Jiang Jixu's lowered eyelids trembled slightly, and even his breathing unconsciously slowed down.

"I never would have guessed that the person's photos had such a great sense of atmosphere."

"Sister, do you like it?"

A girl's soft voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Jiang Jixu. His finger instinctively moved to the lock screen button on the side.

The black screen reflected her slightly panicked eyes.

"A-Nian, what are you saying about liking or disliking..."

Jiang Jinian tilted her head and raised an eyebrow slightly: "You don't like your brother-in-law, yet you still married him?"

Jiang Jixu's heart skipped a beat. Her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of her phone, and she lowered her head, looking somewhat shy.

"A-Nian, of course I like... I married your brother-in-law because I like him."

Jiang Jinian's gaze lingered on her for a few seconds, then she said indifferently, "Oh."

"Remember to take the cup away after you finish your yogurt."

"okay……"

Jiang Jixu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the closed door not far away.

Thankfully, they weren't discovered.

She pursed her lips, took the yogurt, and went back into the house.

Jiang Jinian only took out her phone to send a message to Lu Lishen after hearing the soft sound of the door closing.

Commemoration: [I gave her the yogurt.]

Jiang Jinian lowered her eyes and couldn't help but send another message.

In memory of her: [Be good to her.]

The other party responded quickly.

Four simple words.

Thank you, don't worry.

Jiang Jinian pursed her lips, clicked into Lu Lishen's Moments, and saved all the pictures with Jiang Jixu on her phone.

Then I went to my desk, turned on my computer, uploaded the photos, and printed them.

Finally, I took out the most inconspicuous black notebook from the corner of the bookshelf.

The first half of the notebook is quite thick, and each page contains a different photograph.

Some of the photos have yellowed edges, indicating that they are quite old.

She placed the newly printed photo onto a new page, gently stroking the face in the photo, her eyes filled with complex and unpredictable emotions.

After a long pause, he carefully closed the notebook and put it back in its original place.

Jiang Jixu bit her lip, unlocked her phone, and went to Lu Lishen's WeChat Moments.

This time, she read the post carefully.

Then I gave it a like.

It slowly slid down.

The second post on WeChat Moments was also a nine-grid layout.

It's their marriage certificate photo and the photo of them wearing veils when they went to register for the marriage.

Jiang Jixu stared blankly at his own gentle smile in the photo.

So, she looked...that happy back then?

Jiang Jixu saw several familiar profile pictures liking the post.

Besides the Jiang family, there were also Hou Taojiu and his group.

The comments section was full of congratulatory messages.

Lu Lishen politely replied "thank you" to every congratulatory message.

Besides the comments with the responder's ID that she could see, there were also some comments that only showed Lu Lishen's own name.

Judging by this number, if it wasn't a man who orchestrated the whole thing, it proves that this post on WeChat Moments wasn't shared in a group.

Lu Lishen officially announced his relationship with her on his WeChat Moments.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Jixu felt his heart pounding like a drum.

She took a sip of yogurt, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

A slender, delicate finger lightly tapped the heart icon. The next second, Jiang Jixu's WeChat name appeared at the very beginning of the long list of likes below.

She gently bit her lip, just about to continue reading, when a new notification suddenly popped up.

Monkey Stealing Wine: [Sister-in-law! You've finally shown up! Come quickly and take Lao Lu away, waaaaah, our dorm can't accommodate him anymore!]

jjx: [?]

The moment the question mark was sent, Lu Lishen's video call came in.

Without a second thought, Jiang Jixu jumped out of bed and ran to the mirror to check her hairstyle and makeup.

"Just need to touch up my lipstick..."

She muttered to herself as she picked out a lipstick from the vanity.

I had just opened the lid to apply the color when I suddenly froze when I looked at myself in the mirror.

Is she a little...overly nervous?

It's just a video call, isn't it?
The bell was still ringing.

Jiang Jixu pursed her lips, then applied some more lipstick, before wiping some off with her hand to make it look more natural.

After carefully checking and confirming that there were no problems, I answered the phone.

Lu Lishen's enlarged face suddenly appeared on the phone screen, and even though she had seen it many times, she still couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

How could anyone be so favored by God?

Jiang Jixu coughed twice, trying to hide his lecherous nature: "I went to get a glass of water, so I was a little slow to answer the phone."

His gaze lingered on her stained lips for a few seconds, a faint smile appearing in his eyes, but he didn't expose the girl's lie.

"Ok, I know."

Jiang Jixu awkwardly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear: "What did you do when you went back? You made Monkey and the others so resentful."

"It's nothing, I just posted something on my WeChat Moments, but they complained that I smelled like I was in a relationship."

Lu Lishen's expression was serious, his dark eyes fixed on her through the camera, his brows slightly furrowed, and his wisps of hair falling across his forehead, his expression carrying a hint of disappointment and grievance.

Like a dog abandoned by the roadside, it looked at her pitifully.

"Madam, do you think this is my fault?"

Jiang Jixu: "..."

She pinched herself hard to barely snap herself out of the shock of the man's handsome face.

"Um, this..."

She was hesitating about how to comfort her.

Lu Lishen had already lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. The dim light shone on his sharply defined profile, exuding a cold and fragile aura.

"I see."

He seemed somewhat disappointed. "Since Madam doesn't like it, I'll be more careful in the future."

"I don't--"

Before Jiang Jixu could react, the words of denial had already slipped out unconsciously.

Lu Lishen's eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked up at her with his wet eyes, the corners of which were still red.

"really?"

Jiang Jixu softened.

She was three years older than Lu Lishen, so she should be the one taking care of him. But so far, he had always been the one accommodating her.

What's wrong with her being a little more tolerant and doting on her younger brother?
So Jiang Jixu nodded: "Of course it's true, wait for me a moment."

As she spoke, she shrunk the call screen, then opened her Moments, selected a few photos, edited the caption, and posted it.

That's it.

Jiang Jixu smiled with satisfaction and sent a screenshot of her newly posted WeChat Moments to Lu Lishen in a light tone.

"Look, I posted it too."

"It's just the sour smell of being in love, you have it and I have it too."

Lu Lishen opened the picture the girl had sent him.

His WeChat Moments feature a nine-grid layout, just like his.

From their marriage certificate to the sunflowers he gave her, and the movie ticket stubs from their trip to the movies.

And the caption above the photo—

[Getting married, please take good care of me in the future!]
