Delta, Haotian breaches defenses: The dam is too deep!

The next day, before dawn, Ye Xingran woke up.

She opened her eyes and glanced at the time.

A little past six o'clock.

The room was quiet, with a sliver of pale morning light filtering through the curtains, and the air still carrying the lingering chill of the night. She had intended to lie down a little longer, but as soon as she turned her head, she noticed that Jiang Chen was also awake.

The two people looked at each other.

Ye Xingran laughed first.

"Didn't you say it was just a little nervous?"

Jiang Chen lay there, his expression no different from usual.

"A little while is enough to wake you up early."

Ye Xingran couldn't help but smile, a smile spreading across her eyes.

Row.

This guy is behaving himself today.

She threw back the covers and sat up, her hair still a little messy, and her voice soft and sleepy.

"Get up."

"Um."

Neither of them dawdled.

Wash up, change clothes, and get your documents.

These are usually ordinary items, but today they feel more solemn when held in one's hands. Ye Xingran, in particular, checked the document bag again before leaving, making sure her ID card, household registration book, and photos were all there before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

As the elevator descended, the mirror reflected the silhouettes of two people.

Jiang Chen was dressed all in black, clean and neat, with his shoulders and back straight, still maintaining his steady demeanor. Ye Xingran wore a light-colored coat, her hair was carefully combed, with a few wisps of hair hanging down by her ears, making her look exceptionally gentle.

Jiang Chen glanced at her.

"nice."

Ye Xingran paused, her ears immediately burning.

"What's wrong with you today?"

"To tell the truth."

"You're not usually this direct."

"Today is different."

The elevator doors opened with a ding.

Ye Xingran smiled and walked out first.

First, go get your ID photo taken.

The shop opened very early, clearly specializing in this kind of business. When the two of them went in, there were already two young couples sitting inside, each one quieter than the last, yet each pretending to be very calm.

The receptionist looked up at them, paused for a moment, and then gave a professional smile.

"Taking ID photos, right? Just a moment, it'll be your turn soon."

After Ye Xingran sat down, she spoke softly.

Are they watching us?

Jiang Chen hummed in agreement.

"normal."

"Aren't you nervous at all?"

Jiang Chen turned his head and glanced at her.

"It's not noticeable from the outside."

Ye Xingran laughed.

Soon it was their turn.

The photographer was quite eloquent; once the lights were on and the lens was set up, he started giving instructions.

"Closer. Yes, even closer. Girl, tuck your shoulders in a little. Handsome, don't be so serious, you're not here to receive an award today."

Ye Xingran almost burst out laughing.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Chen and saw him twitch his lips.

The photographer's eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's it, don't accept it."

Click.

The first image was captured.

Two more photos were taken. The photographer looked down at the computer and nodded with a smile.

"This set is very good."

Ye Xingran leaned over for a look and was stunned for two seconds.

In the photo, her eyebrows and eyes are relaxed, and the smile in her eyes is impossible to hide. Jiang Chen still has his usual composure, but he is much more aloof, and under the light, he looks exceptionally clean.

She said it softly.

"It really does look like it."

Jiang Chen tilted his head.

"Like what?"

"Like we're really going to get our marriage certificate."

Jiang Chen looked at her, his expression unchanged.

"It's not like it."

Ye Xingran laughed.

After receiving the photos, the two got back into the car.

The car was much quieter this time.

When the photos were being taken, it felt like a formality. But once she had the photos in her hands, it suddenly felt real. Ye Xingran put the photos in a file folder, and after a while, she couldn't help but take them out for another look.

Jiang Chen was driving when he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.

"like?"

"Um."

"Then take a closer look."

Ye Xingran turned her head to look out the window, her lips still curved in a smile.

There weren't many cars on the road yet, and the breakfast stalls along the street were already steaming. People were selling soy milk and fried dough sticks, riding bicycles, and carrying bags to work. The city was slowly waking up.

Ye Xingran watched for a while, then suddenly spoke.

"I thought their guesses last night were exaggerated."

"And now?"

"Now I think they were pretty accurate."

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Um."

"You were really good at holding back yesterday."

"I told you yesterday, don't even think about leaving the house quietly today."

That's the truth.

After thinking about it, Ye Xingran smiled and nodded.

When we arrived, there were already quite a few people at the entrance.

Young and old alike, some were looking down at their phones, others were repeatedly checking their IDs, and one boy was so nervous he kept rubbing his hands together, only calming down after a girl next to him patted him on the shoulder.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xingran felt somewhat relieved.

It turns out that at this point, everyone is in the same boat.

Take a number, queue up, and fill out the form.

The staff member pushed the form over, speaking in a calm and practiced tone.

"Check the information first, and make sure you don't fill it in incorrectly."

Jiang Chen took it and began to write, his characters moving steadily. Ye Xingran lowered her head to fill in her own part; the first few strokes were a little tense, but she calmed down as she wrote.

Take it one step at a time and keep moving forward.

It went by remarkably smoothly.

When it was their turn, the staff behind the window looked up and stared at them for a couple of seconds, but didn't ask anything and just continued to check according to the procedure.

"Is the marriage a voluntary decision by both parties?"

"voluntary."

"The documents are complete and the information is correct."

The man picked up the stamp.

Ye Xingran's fingers curled up subconsciously.

The next second, Jiang Chen reached out and gently touched the back of her hand.

The movements were very gentle.

But that immediately calmed the anger that had been building up inside her.

She looked up at him.

Jiang Chen was also looking at her.

He didn't say anything.

Currently reading: Chapter 194 Getting the Marriage Certificate! Latest chapters are available here.

But one glance is enough.

Snapped.

The chapter fell.

The sound wasn't loud.

But it's very clear.

For a moment, Ye Xingran suddenly felt a little dazed.

It wasn't intense, nor was it a sudden, loud bang.

Instead, it walked all the way here and finally landed steadily.

The staff member handed out the two red certificates and smiled.

"Congratulations."

When Ye Xingran took it, her fingertips visibly paused.

A thin book.

It's a very bright red.

Jiang Chen took his own copy, glanced at it, and finally a noticeable smile appeared on his lips.

The two people stood still, not moving for a moment.

The sunlight outside was perfect, streaming in at an angle from the doorway, falling on the red booklet in their hands and on them. There were other footsteps and voices in the hall, but at this moment, Ye Xingran felt only a profound silence around her.

She spoke first.

"This time it's for real."

"Um."

"They're not just guessing."

"Um."

Ye Xingran looked up at him, her smile gradually spreading across her face.

"This time it's for real."

Jiang Chen looked at her.

"This time it's for real."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Then, another one.

One more time.

It kept ringing.

Jiang Chen took it out and glanced at it. The top one was from Haotian.

"Brother Chen, I just woke up. My eyelids have been twitching all day, and I have a feeling that something big is going to happen."

Ye Xingran leaned over to take a look and burst out laughing.

"He's actually quite capable."

Jiang Chen slid down.

Qiqi: "Why are you two so quiet today? I have a bad feeling about this."

Wang Haoyu: "I dreamt that you guys were doing something big behind the backs of the entire internet."

Ye Xingran laughed so hard her shoulders trembled slightly.

"Did they plan this together?"

"without."

"How can it be so accurate?"

"intuition."

As she looked at the messages, she felt an urge to laugh more and more.

"Are you going back or not?"

Jiang Chen closed the red book.

"I won't go back yet."

Why?

"Let them guess for two more minutes."

Ye Xingran burst out laughing and leaned on his shoulder.

"You're so mean."

"generally."

The two people walked outside.

As soon as she stepped outside, a gust of wind blew, and Ye Xingran glanced down at the certificate in her hand, suddenly feeling a sense of lightness in her heart. It wasn't emptiness, but rather the release of something that had been weighing on her for so long.

Jiang Chen opened the car door for her and waited for her to get in before getting in from the other side himself.

Once the door was closed, the hustle and bustle outside was immediately shut out.

There were only the two of them left in the car.

Ye Xingran placed the certificate on her lap, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly said:

Let's take a picture.

"Now?"

"Um."

"it is good."

She raised her phone, moved it closer to the center, placed the two red certificates together in front, and included both of them in the frame. Just as she was about to press the shutter, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his hand and brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

The movements were very natural.

A slight tremor ran through her heart.

Click.

This scene was also captured on camera.

Ye Xingran looked down at the finished product and liked it more and more.

"Should I send it?"

Jiang Chen started the car.

"hair."

"Where to send it?"

"Send it to the group first."

Ye Xingran's eyes lit up immediately.

"Then they'd go crazy."

"Let them go crazy."

She opened the group chat, dragged the photo in, paused for a moment, and then looked up at him.

"I really made it."

"hair."

The next second, the photo was sent out.

The group was silent for two seconds.

Then it just exploded.

Haotian was the first to jump out.

"??????"

"Holy crap!!!!"

Qiqi immediately followed suit and flooded the screen with comments.

"Really?!"

"No way, no way, no way!!!"

Wang Haoyu's example is even more outrageous.

"I just woke up and this is what you show me???"

"You really accepted it???"

The Emperor was a step behind, still the same old self.

"..."

"Congratulations."

"And, I knew it."

Immediately afterwards, Teacher Big Tree also appeared.

"Goodness, you actually got it done."

Chen Ze was more direct.

"I knew something was off about him last night."

Haotian was still spamming.

"Brother Chen, you're not human!"

"He's really doing something big behind the brothers' backs!"

"Where's the gift money? Send me the account number!"

Ye Xingran couldn't stop laughing as she looked at the screen full of question marks and exclamation marks in the group chat.

Jiang Chen, one hand on the steering wheel, glanced at the scene out of the corner of his eye and smiled.

"Satisfied?"

"satisfy."

She paused, then added.

"Extremely satisfied."

The car smoothly drove onto the main road.

It was already fully light.

All the shops along the street were open, pedestrians came and went, traffic lights at intersections flashed, and the whole city became as lively as usual.

But Ye Xingran knew that things were different now.

From today onwards, she can finally stand openly beside Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen gripped the steering wheel, looking ahead with a calm expression, as if he had completed one leg of the journey, or as if another leg had just begun.

My phone is still vibrating, and the group chat is still buzzing.

Neither of them looked at each other again.

At this point, many things no longer need to be said.

The marriage certificate has been obtained.

People are also around.

This is enough.
