Chapter 202: Marriage certificate

Xie Qin's movements getting into bed were extremely slow. He gently scooped her over, his fingertips gently brushing away the messy hair on her forehead, and then lowered his head, planting a kiss on her smooth, warm forehead.

A few days later, in the sweltering noon, even the wind carried a bit of dryness, making one feel sticky and unbearable.

Zhang Zixin came to Jiangchuan University at noon. Shen Li received her call while she was still in the laboratory, and she said there was something important to tell her.

She still put down what she was doing for the time being and went to a cafe near the school to meet her.

After sitting down, Shen Li ordered a cup of Americano.

Then, her gaze rested on Zhang Zixin opposite her, and she sized her up for a few moments. Today, she was exceptionally dazzling; a bright red dress set off her fair skin, her long curly hair was draped loosely over her shoulders, and her face was painted with exquisite and elegant makeup.

Shen Li's voice was faint as she asked: "You said on the phone that there was something important, what is it?"

Zhang Zixin didn't rush to say it, but the smile on her face was very pleasant. She looked in the mirror, touched up her lipstick, and after finishing, she put the lipstick and mirror into her bag without haste. Then, she saw her take out a red booklet from her bag and toss it in front of Shen Li, "I got my certificate, is this important!"

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, not reacting for a while, staring at the marriage certificate with gold-stamped characters in front of her, blinking her eyes, "Certificate? With Xu Zhouyuan?"

Zhang Zixin raised an eyebrow, "Otherwise? Who else could it be besides him."

This matter was indeed very important.

Shen Li picked up the marriage certificate and held it in her hand, feeling it was a bit hot. She opened it and looked at the photo.

In the photo, Xu Zhouyuan was in a black suit, considered talented and dashing, while Zhang Zixin was in a red dress, her bone structure upright, her skin stretched, without a hint of being small-minded.

Zhang Zixin said naturally: "You are the first to know about this."

Shen Li lifted her eyes to look at her, a shock she couldn't describe in her heart, "Your father and mother... they... didn't say anything?"

"Nope." Zhang Zixin rested her chin on her hand, looking at her with red lips curled, "I didn't rush to say it. Anyway, as soon as I got the certificate, I immediately thought of you. I thought I'd tell you first, since you're my best sister."

These words made Shen Li's heart tremble uncontrollably.

She had never thought that Zhang Zixin would share such an important moment with her first.

Shen Li's fingers holding the marriage certificate tightened.

She said again: "Don't think I'm showing off to you. I'm not Xu Zhouyuan; maybe by now, he's already impatient to show off to your Xie Qin."

Shen Li's mouth slowly raised a gentle arc, "Congratulations to you both."

"Don't just congratulate us; you and Xie Qin, when do you plan to get a little booklet too?"

Shen Li lowered her eyelids, her face burning a bit, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head: "I'm not quite sure. My studies haven't finished yet, and I've been very busy lately, so I haven't thought too much in this direction."

Zhang Zixin sighed, "Thinking about it, that's true. You're studying medicine, how could you be idle."

Shen Li asked her: "Then when are you holding the wedding?"

Zhang Zixin shrugged: "To be honest, I don't know. Let me tell you this, actually, Xu Zhouyuan's parents don't really look highly upon me."

Shen Li: "Why?"

"Xu Zhouyuan's family is the richest in the local area, and he's an only son. You know, it's just a bit difficult to deal with. As for me, my family background is ordinary, I don't have much ability. Just last year or the year before, our two families met and had a meal together. On the surface, it was quite harmonious, but actually, it wasn't very pleasant, and we couldn't talk. His mother had a lot of prejudice against me, feeling I couldn't get on the stage. She mocked me many times, and I also felt the disparity was too great, so it wasn't like I hadn't mentioned breaking up to Xu Zhouyuan. He didn't want to break up, and actually, I was also a bit... after all, we've had so many years of feelings, and I quite like him. Of course, it wasn't for the money in his family, and... to be honest, I knew he was quite rich during those years we dated, but I never asked what his family did. Back then, we were still young and not getting married, so we were just playing around. Why know so much! I really never thought about marriage; it was probably... after you came back and moved in with Xie Qin in less than a few days, it stimulated him."

"He felt, how could it be possible for someone to be apart for six years and still like each other the same way they did when they first started dating?"

"He went back and asked me if I wanted to get married!"

"I thought he was confused and just said it casually, so I didn't take it too seriously."

"Later, he said he wanted to think about our relationship. He thought about it for a week, and that week he didn't contact me, and I didn't look for him." Zhang Zixin laughed as she said this, "I don't know what he figured out, but he insisted on dragging me to get married."

"Look." She lifted her chin, "And so we have this little red booklet."

"As for money, I'm quite wealthy now too."

"Even if I marry into his family, I have the confidence; at the very least, I won't reach out to Xu Zhouyuan's family for money."

"I don't care how his family looks at me anymore; let's get the certificate first."

"Tomorrow, I'll tell both families about this."

"If we hold a wedding, I've saved the bridesmaid position for you."

Shen Li nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Zhang Zixin knew her studies were busy, so she didn't disturb her much. They chatted for about half an hour before she went back.

As for marriage, she and Xie Qin weren't in a hurry.

They had been living together for this period, and it was very warm, like a daily routine after marriage, just missing the certificate.

However, Shen Li was sincerely happy for them that Zhang Zixin could have a happy ending with Xu Zhouyuan.

She was also honored that she was the first to know about her happiness.

After Zhang Zixin left, Shen Li returned to the laboratory alone. Hearing her phone vibrate, she took it out and looked at the messages in the small group.

It was sent by Xu Zhouyuan, a photo of a marriage certificate.

Xu Zhouyuan feigned ignorance: 【Ah, I sent it by mistake; I originally wanted to post it on Moments.】

【Sent it anyway, forget it.】

【When you have nothing to do, click and look at my handsome face.】

【Today I am the first handsome, you are second @Xie Qin】

Xie Qin replied: Oh, congratulations.

The text revealed coldness.

A while later.

Xu Zhouyuan: @Xie Qin, that's it? Not sending a red envelope?

Zhou Mingyu: You got the certificate, he got the certificate? And you're still asking him to send a red envelope? Be a human.

Xu Zhouyuan: Ah, forgot, sorry. Then I'll save it for the gift money later. We don't dare ask for much from the big household in Di Du, just give whatever you want to give when the time comes @Xie Qin.

Xie Qin didn't reply.

Saying this, Xu Zhouyuan sent a lucky red envelope.

Zhou Mingyu: 【Is there no justice, is there no law!!! Was I set up by capital?】

Qiao Lang: 【Thank you, boss. Boss, boss's wife, may you be together for a hundred years.】

Shen Li didn't grab it very fast; she was the last one to click in.

Looking at the amount, it was over five thousand, and she had the best luck.

Zhang Zixin: @Shen Li, sister, you have such good luck.

Shen Li replied politely: Thank you for the red envelope (smile)

In the conference room on the other side, several people were sitting.

Xu Zhouyuan had just shown off that he got his certificate, and when he saw Shen Li's smiling expression.

He looked up at Xie Qin and asked: "She sent me this expression, what does it mean? Is she complaining that I sent too little?"

Xie Qin curled his lips into a smile and didn't reply.

After the six of them finished grabbing, except for Zhou Mingyu, that unlucky guy who only grabbed a few dozen yuan in the first bag, the others didn't get less, basically all getting four digits.

Continuously, Xu Zhouyuan sent quite a few more.

Shen Li grabbed one, then settled her mind, set her phone to silent, and continued to immerse herself in the laboratory. ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
