CHAPTER 87: Extra 1 [Mine]
The next day was a beautiful and sunny day.
The sunshine was bright, perfect for going out.
Ye Chengxing decided to go with Li Jia to obtain their marriage certificate.
Because the two worlds were somewhat different, Ye Chengxing carefully planned their strategy before discussing it with Li Jia.
The appearance of the marriage certificate in this world was not much different from what she had seen in her own world, and the overall process was similar as well.
They would need to apply for registration, bring relevant documents, and have their marriage certificate linked to their respective identity IDs.
Li Jia didn't tell her how she had spent these five years, but Ye Chengxing saw the photo placed in the innermost glass cabinet, obviously left there with a spot for her, and the two very familiar snowmen behind it.
There were many emotions that didn't need to be explicitly expressed, Ye Chengxing could roughly guess them.
—And it was indeed so.
Li Jia had asked herself many times if she regretted it.
How could she not regret it?
When she refused to take the photo, she had just thought there would be more time in the future, and that they could take a photo on the day of parting, but she truly had not expected to miss the last chance to take a photo with the one she loved.
She dared not recall her refusal at that time, nor did she dare to recall the emotions with which Ye Chengxing responded to her rejection, saying, "It's okay, whenever you want to take a photo, we'll take it."
In the countless sleepless nights that followed, this was the nightmare of her most lucid moments.
With Ye Chengxing's return, she managed to suppress these lingering pain, but only to suppress them. It was like finally being able to sleep peacefully while embracing Ye Chengxing, but along with peaceful sleep came nightmares. So Li Jia would wake up from the nightmares, anxiously confirming Ye Chengxing's breathing and feeling her warmth.
Ye Chengxing could sense it all.
So, during breakfast together today, Ye Chengxing called out to Li Jia first, saying, "Xiaoli."
Li Jia looked up and met her gaze. She saw Ye Chengxing supporting her chin, eyes filled with a smile, and tenderly said, "The weather is nice today. How about we go and get our marriage certificate later?"
Ye Chengxing hoped that in the future, when Li Jia looked back, the first thing she would remember would be the marriage certificate they took together, rather than the agonizing rejection of that cold winter that had tormented her for the following five years.
She would create more beautiful memories between them, and make Li Jia's unease become fulfilled.
.......
"Great~ You two get a little closer... Yes, just like that, lean your heads in a bit more, this is the perfect photo."
From going to register to taking the photos to getting the marriage certificate, the whole process happened incredibly fast.
Li Jia stared at the marriage certificate in her hand, as if still processing it.
The photo had a red background.
By a twist of fate, this became their first formal photo together.
In the photo, the woman beside her had gentle eyes and a smiling face, leaning slightly towards her direction. The photo only captured their upper bodies, but in the parts not captured by the photo, she remembered how warm Ye Chengxing's hand felt when they were holding hands.
Ye Chengxing also felt a bit sentimental as she held the marriage certificate. "This is even faster than in our world."
As Li Jia listened to her voice, her fingertips moved subtly. She discreetly took a photo of the marriage certificate to prepare for posting it on StarNet. Ye Chengxing happened to glance over and saw Li Jia editing the caption.
The caption was short, only two words: Wo De (我的) [Mine.]
The sunlight outside the car window reflected on the screen, causing a slight glare. Ye Chengxing paused for a moment and asked, "Is it okay to openly post it on StarNet... Won't it affect you in any way?"
She wasn't particularly familiar with the entertainment industry, but but she had the impression that many celebrities were very careful when it came to making things public.
"It won't have any impact." Li Jia finished editing and pressed the send button without hesitation. From a side angle, she saw the woman's long, lowered eyelashes, and her voice sounded like a soft whisper. "...The bitterness has turned to sweetness, I can't wait even a second."
Ye Chengxing was momentarily stunned by her words, then leaned over and gently kissed the side of Li Jia's cheek. "It's not just the bitterness turning to sweetness, it's the bitterness turning to the sweetest of sweetest of sweetest of sweetest of sweetness."
She earnestly repeated the word "sweetest" several times.
"And it's not just the marriage certificate. We will also take wedding photos and have a wedding ceremony. We'll be together for all the time to come."
Li Jia met her gaze and, for no apparent reason, asked, "Will Sister find it troublesome?"
Ye Chengxing was momentarily unable to keep up with her thoughts, unconsciously letting out a soft "hm" questioning sound.
"If Sister was with someone else, you would only need to register the marriage certificate and have one wedding ceremony, and you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. But being with me, all of these things will become a bother."
It was like others were intact glass, while she was a shattered piece. If someone wanted to love her, they would first be cut by the broken glass and bleed. Loving someone like her was bound to be more troublesome than loving anyone else.
Ye Chengxing understood and couldn't help but smile. She reached out, embraced Li Jia, and stroked her hair. "But I feel very happy. Having two wedding ceremonies with Xiaoli doubles the happiness."
A few strands of hair were brushed aside, and warm breath tickled Li Jia's ear. Her eyelashes trembled.
"I belong to you." Ye Chengxing lightly kissed the nape of the person in her embrace, "So ignite me."
I'm willing to burn for you.
As the words fell, Li Jia suddenly hugged her tightly, her hand around Ye Chengxing's waist gripping tightly. "Sister, don't say such sweet words to me like this."
"I really can't help it, it's very easy... to get wet."
