I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

He didn't dare to think any further because he was already feeling an unbearable pain in his heart, and he was in great distress.

Even if what you said is right, I still feel uncomfortable.

Hearing her suddenly blurt out this, Chen Shuo snapped out of his emotions, "Is it still because of that glass of wine?"

"No." Bai Xiaoqi shook her head, then wrinkled her little nose and said unhappily, "It's just that I feel very uncomfortable when I think about you going on a blind date with that woman."

"Then why don't you just not want to?"

"I just want you to comfort me."

"Okay, I'll coax you."

Seeing her open her arms for a hug, Chen Shuo reached out and pulled her into his embrace, gently patting her back. "Do you feel better now?"

"Not yet, my heart is very, very small, so I'm still a little angry."

Bai Xiaoqi silently kicked the pebbles at her feet far away, then hugged his waist tightly, listening to the heartbeat in her chest, and whispered, "But I feel like I shouldn't be angry."

"why?"

"Because if you hadn't gone out on a blind date with her that day, I definitely wouldn't have met you. Thinking about it that way, I guess I should thank her."

"But I couldn't bring myself to thank her, and I felt unhappy."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Chen Shuo really wanted to stick a piece of paper on her forehead and write the words "jealous jar" on it.

"Just give me a hug."

As she spoke, Bai Xiaoqi reached out and unzipped his coat, buried her head in it, closed her eyes, and said, "Hmm... because I'm very unhappy, so you have to hug me a little longer."

Chapter 100 Hanging Us on the Wall

Chen Shuo reached out and gently stroked her back. He looked around and saw that it was springtime. The green plants on both sides of the street had sprouted new buds, and the breeze rustled the leaves.

Although few people were walking on the street, the sight of the two of them embracing and hugging in such a place was bound to attract attention, and some people even looked at them with a strange expression.

It was like we were about to go into the construction site and something was going to happen between us.

"How about we hug each other when we get home?" he asked.

"not good."

"Alright, let me know when you've had enough." Chen Shuo roughly understood why this girl buried her face in his clothes; she was afraid of being embarrassed.

Don't you want to hug me?

No, I really want to.

"Wouldn't it be tiring for you to be in a relationship with me? I'm petty and always jealous, and I have a small heart. Shouldn't I learn to be more generous so that you can have an easier time and not have to coax me every day?"

"You seem to have a pretty clear understanding of yourself."

Chen Shuo felt that this little kitten was quite self-aware, and gently stroked her soft hair, saying, "But I'm not tired at all, and I like you just the way you are."

"Really?"

Bai Xiaoqi looked up at him, seemingly trying to observe the expression on his face, wondering if he was lying to her.

"Of course it's true. You're often jealous and always asking for hugs and comfort. To put it bluntly, it's your possessiveness at work. Everyone has possessiveness, but yours is a bit stronger."

As for the reason, it might be because you used to be a cat, and cats are inherently possessive creatures, or it might be because you cared too much.

But no matter what, your possessiveness doesn't tire me out; on the contrary, it makes me feel deeply cared for by you.

At this point, Chen Shuo let out a soft sigh, leaned down and kissed her forehead, then moved his arms to hug her even tighter.

"In addition to that, there is an even more important point: whenever you feel unhappy or uncomfortable, you will directly tell me why you are unhappy and tell me how to comfort you."

For example, hugging you or kissing you, I don't need to guess, that's what makes you truly not make me feel tired.

Otherwise, if I spend every day trying to guess what you're thinking, why you're angry, or why you're unhappy, even if I like you a lot, I'll inevitably feel emotionally exhausted.

Why guess?

"What do you think?" Chen Shuo didn't answer, but asked in return.

Bai Xiaoqi pondered for a long time, then shook her head blankly, "I don't know."

Seeing this, Chen Shuo laughed, "Alright, I'm completely relieved now. You won't make me guess anymore."

"why?"

"Because you simply don't have that configuration."

Making others guess your thoughts is an innate talent in women, determined by their genes, and this girl clearly doesn't have that gene.

Because she didn't even know why she wanted people to guess her thoughts.

"Are you feeling better now?" Chen Shuo asked.

"Yes, I'm very happy now."

Bai Xiaoqi smiled at him again, her eyes crinkling.

"You look silly when you smile. Come on, let's find another place to take pictures of you."

.......

As dusk approached, the couple finally found an open photo studio, but it was for wedding photography.

"Hey beautiful, turn your head, don't look around, look at the camera. Hey, yes, yes, look over here, sit up straight, don't tilt your body or your head..."

Bai Xiaoqi looked at the camera, but her eyes were still darting around, secretly observing the wedding dresses on the plastic mannequins in the store.

That wedding dress was so beautiful, that red wedding gown was beautiful, and that bright red robe was beautiful too—they were all exceptionally beautiful.

Which one should I wear in the future? It's so hard to choose.

"Crack!"

The flash went off, and the photographer was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like he'd been granted a pardon. He'd never seen anyone so difficult to manage; making a little money from you two was really not easy.

Bai Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and got up from her seat. She was about to take a closer look at the wedding dress when Chen Shuo stopped her. "It's no fun just looking. Why don't you change into it now and we can take some wedding photos?"

Upon hearing this, she paused, her expression conflicted, and after a moment she spoke: "No, I won't let you lie to me about getting married and having children now."

"How about we take a group photo?"

Before she could agree, Chen Shuo turned to the photographer who was developing the photos and said, "Boss, we also want to take a group photo. If it turns out well, we'll come here to take our wedding photos when we get married."

Upon hearing this, the photographer's expression changed, and he nodded in agreement after hearing the second half of the sentence, "Okay, let's go to the second floor."

The two chose a simple backdrop, nothing fancy, just white with a few starlight dots on it.

"Hey, you two can move a little closer, yes, even closer! Beautiful lady, put your arm around your boyfriend's arm, lean your body slightly, hey, yes, yes, very good, excellent..."

The photographer patiently gave directions, which made me feel inexplicably gratified; taking this group photo was much simpler than taking an ID photo.

"Gentlemen, come on, one, two, three, laugh."

"Click..."

The flash went off again, freezing the image.

.......

These days, photos are developed really quickly. After the two left the wedding photo studio, Bai Xiaoqi looked at her ID photo and said sullenly, "This ID photo is so ugly, it doesn't look like me at all."

"That's how ID photos are; even the prettiest person won't look good in them. You look great in this one."

"But I feel like these eyes are a little slanted." Bai Xiaoqi looked left and right, but felt that the eyes were not focused and were not looking forward.

"Then who can you blame? Who told you to look at it randomly? If the shop owner hadn't photoshopped it for you, your ID photo would look exactly like that ridiculous meme now."

Bai Xiaoqi pouted and muttered softly, "I'm not exaggerating that much."

Chen Shuo didn't hear what she was muttering, so he took out the group photo he had been carrying under his arm and showed it to her. "Look, doesn't this photo make you look especially cute? You're smiling so sweetly and innocently."

"Your smile is even more endearing."

"Then let's both be silly, and when we get home we'll hang both of us on the wall."

Chen Shuo specially asked the shop owner to make the photo of the two of them very large, and also framed it in a fairly large frame, which was just right to hang above the bed.

Chapter 101 Not closing your eyes is the same as not sleeping

After having dinner at home, it was already nine o'clock. The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Chen Shuo sent Nie Xi his ID photo along with his name, age, and birthday.

As for the place of household registration, it is definitely in this city. To be more specific, it is probably a collective household registration.

He had specifically researched this beforehand and found that collective household registration would be simpler to handle in this situation, but what kind of household registration it was didn't really matter, since she would eventually have to register under her own household registration book anyway.

The materials have been received.

After sending the message and waiting a while, a brief reply came back. Just as Chen Shuo was about to type a reply, Bai Xiaoqi came back after taking a shower and glanced at the screen.

"August 15, 2004...."

"This is the birth date set for you. Well, it means you still have one year and five months, or more than 500 days, before your legal marriage age."

Why are you telling me this?

Bai Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that there were only five hundred days left before she was going to get married and have a child.

"Just reminding you, there's still a countdown to the college entrance exam."

Chen Shuo looked at her with a smile, then replied to Nie Xi with a couple of sentences before getting up and going to the bathroom to take a shower.

With the arrival of spring and the gradual warming of the weather, taking a bath has become less of a challenge, and the situation where you don't want to stop once you start bathing is no longer a problem.

When he dried his hair and returned to the bedroom, Bai Xiaoqi was lying on the left side of the bed wrapped in a blanket, with a cat-shaped pillow in the middle.

Judging from this, she wanted to use a cushion to separate the two of them. The bed in the bedroom is large enough for two people, and a large cushion in the middle wouldn't feel cramped, but...

Chen Shuo walked over and put the cushion aside. "I feel like you putting this there shows you don't trust me."

"I never trusted you in the first place."

"But the most important thing between couples is trust."

"Humph."

Bai Xiaoqi snorted, but didn't say anything more. She also wanted to get closer, but felt that she couldn't show it, otherwise this guy would definitely take advantage of her after he noticed. So she deliberately put the cushion in the middle.
