Zhai Cheng looked into her bright eyes. All he wanted to say was, "Spring is in your eyes, little fool!"
The car pulled up in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Song Ge craned her neck and peeked out of the window in confusion. "It's the Civil Affairs Bureau! Zhai Cheng, what are you bringing me here for? Are we going to register our marriage?"
Zhai Cheng nodded without hesitation. "Yes! Do you not want to?"
"Not at all! I just think it's a bit sudden." Song Ge smiled and hopped out of the car briskly.
Zhai Cheng reached out his arm, gesturing for Song Ge to hold onto it. Song Ge's cheeks flushed at the sight.
Zhai Cheng joked, "There's no need to be shy. We're going to be husband and wife!"
Song Ge stuck out her tongue playfully. "But we're not yet!"
"It doesn't matter. We will be soon." Zhai Cheng smiled and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from Song Ge's forehead.
Their wedding anniversary would be extremely special. He hoped that when Song Ge looked back on this day in the future, she would remember herself as the most perfect version of herself.
"Okay, if you say so." Song Ge conceded. Then she stole a glance at the passers-by. Seeing that they were all dressed up and paired up, Song Ge started to feel nervous. She tugged at Zhai Cheng's arm. "They're all so formally dressed. I should have dressed up too."
"Don't worry. You're already beautiful enough." Zhai Cheng said sincerely. He truly meant every word. No matter how Song Ge looked, she was the most beautiful and unique woman in his heart.
"You're so sweet-tongued." Song Ge giggled happily, swinging her legs as she waited for the photo shoot.
"I'm not just sweet-tongued." Zhai Cheng leaned in closer, tucking a stray hair behind Song Ge's ear. He continued, "I'm just telling the truth. My wife is the best wife in the world and the most beautiful woman. Even a fairy from heaven can't compare to you."
"You're such a charmer." Song Ge blushed and playfully swatted at Zhai Cheng. She wasn't used to this Zhai Cheng who was full of sweet words.
At this moment, Zhai Cheng looked at Song Ge, not thinking about anything else. He just wanted to pour out all the sweet words in the world to her. He didn't have the chance before, and now he didn't have much time left.
Time was running out, so he had to seize every moment to tell Song Ge his true feelings. All the sweet words and hidden love would be revealed to her.
"Come on, sir and madam, look at the camera."
"Alright, let's take one more shot."
"Perfect!"
"You two are the most well-matched couple I've seen in my years of work, and you're both so good-looking."
The staff member smiled and handed the marriage certificates to them. Song Ge asked with a smile, "Really?"
The staff member nodded. "Of course! We don't even know each other. Why would I lie?"
"Urgent notice, urgent notice. Song Ge's remaining lifespan is zero."
Zhai Cheng didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. There was no time left. He scooped Song Ge up into his arms.
Song Ge was startled. Lying in Zhai Cheng's arms, she blushed and said, "Zhai Cheng, what are you doing! There are so many people here! It's so embarrassing!" She covered her eyes with the marriage certificate.
Zhai Cheng didn't know how to react. He forced a smile and said, "You're always so shy. Don't forget, we're already married. What's wrong with a hug? It's only natural."
Song Ge pouted. "I know. Zhai Cheng, put me down quickly! It's really embarrassing."
"I won't." Zhai Cheng carried Song Ge out of the building. I'm sorry, Song Ge. I couldn't fulfill your request at the last moment of your life. Because I want you to remember and see that Song Ge loves Zhai Cheng forever.
"Fine, if you don't put me down, then we'll be embarrassed together." Song Ge kicked her legs and stopped struggling.
"Song Ge, who do you love the most?"
"Isn't that obvious? Do you even need to ask?" Song Ge rolled her eyes.
"No, I need to hear you say it. Hurry up and answer me!" Song Ge, please say it quickly! We really don't have much time left.
Song Ge kissed the marriage certificate playfully. "Okay, I'll say it. Listen carefully. In this world, no matter what happens, Song Ge only loves Zhai Cheng. Song Ge will love Zhai Cheng for all eternity, okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay." Zhai Cheng nodded. Song Ge, you don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say this. I'm satisfied just hearing you say it.
"What about you, Zhai Cheng? Who do you love the most?"
"Zhai Cheng... only loves Song Ge. Only Song Ge."
"Who does Song Ge love the most?"
"Zhai Cheng."
"Who does Zhai Cheng love the most?"
"Song Ge."
The two of them were having so much fun that they didn't think the game was childish at all. The passers-by watched them with smiles on their faces.
As Zhai Cheng was talking, he started to cry. He tried to hold back his tears, thinking that he should show Song Ge a happy face. But he couldn't help it, and the tears fell.
Thankfully, Song Ge had her eyes closed and didn't know that everything had changed. "Zhai Cheng, I'm very satisfied. I'm really satisfied." She tried to touch Zhai Cheng's chin but found that she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried.
"Zhai Cheng!" Song Ge exclaimed and opened her eyes. She was even more shocked. Not only was Zhai Cheng gone, but she was also back in her own room.
"What's going on?" Song Ge rubbed her head. She thought that maybe she was dreaming, but that couldn't be right. It hurt when she pinched herself. But just a moment ago, she was still in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. How did she end up in her room all of a sudden?
She paced back and forth anxiously, looking at the familiar decorations around her. This was definitely her room. This was her home. Maybe Zhai Cheng had gone back to his own home too.
Song Ge was completely confused. She gritted her teeth and started shouting, "Zhai Cheng, Zhai Cheng, where are you? Can you hear me?"
Unfortunately, no one answered her. Song Ge was even more puzzled. Just then, the doorbell rang.
Who could it be? Song Ge wondered. Could it be Yan Xi and her brother?
Why did they come so soon? Song Ge walked to the door and peeked through the peephole. She was even more stunned.
"It's Zhai Cheng!" He was standing outside the door. Song Ge widened her eyes and put her hand on her chest, telling herself not to be nervous. The doorbell kept ringing, but Song Ge wasn't ready. Everything had happened so suddenly and yet so coincidentally. She needed to calm down first.
Yes, that's right. Take a deep breath, exhale. Song Ge repeated this several times, but she found that her heart was pounding even harder.
Forget it. There had to be an explanation. Song Ge steeled herself and opened the door.
