I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

He gently placed her on the soft bed. With the air conditioning on in the room, it was easy for her to catch a cold, so Chen Shuo pulled the blanket over her and sat on the edge of the bed, sighing, "Qiqi, if you keep rubbing against me like this, our family won't be able to pay the water bill."

His tone was so affected and pretentious, it was clearly just him teasing her. Bai Xiaoqi was both embarrassed and annoyed, and angrily slapped his back with her hand.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I was wrong."

The cracking sounds were loud, but they didn't actually hurt much, but Chen Shuo still immediately admitted his mistake.

Bai Xiaoqi patted the blanket twice more before calming down. She pulled the blanket up to cover her exposed fair skin and said breathlessly, "I need to get dressed. Can you bring my clothes in?"

"Wear it now?"

"Yes, it's time to make dinner."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo drew back the curtains and glanced outside. The sun was already setting; time had flown by, another day was gone without him even noticing.

.......

Time really flies; it's already August, and the temperature remains stubbornly high.

As the progress bar reached its maximum, Chen Shuo, as a normal man, found it increasingly difficult to resist the allure of the cute and sweet Xiao A Miao.

What's more, he was allowed to take whatever he wanted.

Although he was excited during sex, Chen Shuo panicked a little when he thought about it. He had never used the little umbrella he bought before. He had wanted to use it, but he gave up because she said she didn't want it.

This won't do. What if someone dies?

They weren't ready to welcome the new life yet.

Especially since it's already August 15th, and Bai Xiaoqi's relatives haven't come to visit yet.

The first time my relatives came was on the 15th, and it was pretty much the same for the rest of the time, though more often it was on the 13th or 14th.

Chen Shuo lay on the sofa with his head down, allowing blood to flow to his brain, which made it easier to think.

Normally, a period delay of two or three days is quite normal and should be fine.

He didn't want to have children so early. The thought of a little kid crying and fussing while he was writing or cuddling with his little cat was unbearable; a perfectly peaceful time for just the two of them would suddenly be marred by a third party...

Things shouldn't be like this.

I should wait until I'm 27 or 28 to have a child; I'm only 24 now.

"what are you doing?"

Bai Xiaoqi walked over and looked down at him. "Practicing martial arts?"

No, I'm thinking.

Chen Shuo shifted his body up, resting his head on the sofa, and took a breath. That position had indeed made it easier to think, but he was a little short of breath, and his face had turned red.

"Thinking about having kids again, huh?" Bai Xiaoqi kicked off her slippers, climbed up, straddled Chen Shuo's waist, and sat like she was riding a horse, continuing to look down at him from above.

You don't need to ask to know what he's thinking; he's been pondering this every day lately.

He used to try to trick me into having children for him, but now he doesn't want to anymore. This guy is really hard to please.

Chen Shuo stretched out his arm and pinched her cheek, laughing as he said, "Yeah, I suspect you want to have a baby now, which is why you won't let me use that."

"certainly not."

"Then why won't you let me use it?"

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say, so she simply said, "There's no reason, I just don't want to."

"What if we actually get pregnant?"

"If it comes, it comes; it'll come sooner or later anyway."

“…”

Chen Shuo was surprised that she was so open-minded now, and he didn't know what to say.

After a pause, he spoke, "That's true, but we're still in the early stages. It's too early to worry about the child. Like I said before, once we have a child, we won't have as much freedom as we do now... "

Seeing that Chen Shuo was about to launch into another long-winded lecture, Bai Xiaoqi reached out and pinched his nose. "You're just afraid of having children. It's me who will give birth, not you. I'll be the one who suffers the pain."

“…”

Chen Shuo was speechless. Then he took the little hand that was pinching his nose, pulled it back, and let Bai Xiaoqi lie on top of him. He then hugged her tightly.

Gently stroking her smooth back through the thin fabric, Chen Shuo leaned close to her ear and whispered, "How about you stay on top like this tonight?"

"Hmph, you wish."

Bai Xiaoqi struggled to get off him, not wanting to pay any attention to this guy. He was still on top of her. Did he expect her to do it herself?

He was the one who bullied me, yet he still wanted me to do that. He's shameless.

Chen Shuo picked up his phone to check the time; it was 1:30 PM. He got up from the sofa and went into the bedroom.

When he came out, he had changed his clothes, wearing a white shirt and black pants. Bai Xiaoqi was petting the cat while holding Walnut, and couldn't help but stare at him when she saw his outfit.

Chen Shuo usually wears loose t-shirts with capri pants, prioritizing comfort, and rarely dresses like this.

Chen Shuo straightened his shirt cuffs and urged, "Go change your clothes quickly. Remember to wear a white shirt, or a white dress will also be fine. Then we'll go out together."

Bai Xiaoqi felt he was being mysterious. Why was he wearing white clothes when he was going out? "Where are you going?"

"You'll find out later."

......

At 1:50 p.m., when the temperature was high, Bai Xiaoqi changed into a white shirt, black pants, and white sneakers. She was dazed and confused as Chen Shuo pulled her hand and led her out of the house. They then took a taxi to her parents' house.

Bai Xiaoqi suddenly realized that she had gone to her in-laws' house for a free meal.

When they arrived home, Chen Jianwen wasn't there. Wu Yulan was sitting on the sofa, eating sunflower seeds and watching TV. Hearing the sound of the key turning, she turned her head and was stunned when she saw the two of them enter the house. She threw the sunflower seed shells in her hand into the trash can, clapped her hands, and got up.

They were still looking dazed. Usually, the two of them would call ahead before coming over, so why didn't they say anything today?

"Mom, where's Dad?"

"He went to a meeting. They said there was some kind of academic seminar in the provincial capital and they invited him to attend."

"Oh, I left something here when I came last time. I've come to get it. It should be in my dad's study."

Chen Shuo went into the study, and after a while he ran out again, muttering to himself, "My dad probably put it in your bedroom. I'll go check."

The two women were chatting on the sofa when they saw him like this. Wu Yulan couldn't help but ask, "Did you leave something here?"

"I don't know either." Bai Xiaoqi looked completely bewildered. The thing...does it exist?

A moment later, Chen Shuo came out of the bedroom again. Judging from his expression, he must have found her. He went over and pulled Bai Xiaoqi up from the sofa. "Mom, we have something to do, so we'll leave first. We'll come see you again later."

While Wu Yulan was still in a daze, she saw the two of them go out through the door again.

what the hell?

Chapter 275 Since I'm idle anyway

What were you looking for just now?

Coming downstairs, Bai Xiaoqi asked, looking completely bewildered.

"You'll find out soon enough," Chen Shuo continued, speaking in riddles, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

Bai Xiaoqi felt that this guy seemed to be laughing very happily, but she didn't know why, so she could only remain confused.

At the intersection, Chen Shuo hailed a taxi, pulled her into the back seat, and called out to the driver, "Driver, to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Upon hearing the words "Civil Affairs Bureau," the driver suddenly turned around and exclaimed, "Oh, you two are going to get your marriage certificate?"

"Yeah, we're just killing time anyway, so let's go get a marriage certificate."

"Ha ha..."

The driver couldn't help but laugh. That was a great reason; he had nothing better to do than idle around.

What was the reason I gave when I got my marriage certificate with my partner?

Sigh, there's no reason needed. When the time comes, they'll naturally get the certificate. Young people these days are so interesting.

With a tap of the accelerator, the car started moving steadily.

“…”

Hearing Chen Shuo's conversation with the driver, Bai Xiaoqi was stunned. After a moment of silence in the car, she asked in a silly little voice, "What kind of certificate?"

"Of course, it's the marriage certificate."

Marriage certificate, marriage certificate...

Bai Xiaoqi felt a little dizzy, and after a while she finally asked, "Then, what about my household registration book, my ID card...?"

"I've got them all for you." Chen Shuo took out her household registration book and both of their ID cards from his pocket, and then took out his family's household registration book from his other pocket. "Look, all the documents are in order."

Bai Xiaoqi took his family's household registration book from his hand. This book was different from hers; hers only had one thin page.

She was all alone up there.

There are three people in this notebook.

About ten minutes later, the taxi came to a smooth stop in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It was a little after 2 p.m., just after lunch break.

After getting out of the car amidst the driver's congratulations, Bai Xiaoqi was still a little dizzy. The two walked hand in hand into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The person processing the documents was a woman in her forties. When she saw that the woman's ID card showed she had just turned twenty today, she couldn't help but laugh, "You've just turned twenty and you're already getting your certificate?"

"There's nothing I can do, she can't wait to marry me." Chen Shuo chuckled, and then Bai Xiaoqi reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. Who can't wait? Who can't wait...?

After the photos were taken and the official seal symbolizing national certification was affixed, the two of them each came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau holding a small red booklet.

Chen Shuo had prepared nine yuan in cash beforehand, but unexpectedly, he didn't need it. Getting the marriage certificate was free, and he didn't know when the policy was changed.

Bai Xiaoqi flipped through the little red marriage certificate, looking at the photos of the two of them, and then reaching out to touch the seal on it. Her eyes were filled with unconcealed joy, yet she felt it was all too real, and she kept turning her head, "We're getting married already?"

"This is our marriage certificate!"

"Are we husband and wife now?"

"..."

Chen Shuo was also very excited, pointing to the seal on the marriage certificate, "We are not only husband and wife, but also legally married."
