Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 37. Why change the profile picture after getting the marriage certificate? (Bonus Chapter)

Upon hearing this, A-Zhuo paused slightly, then silently turned his head away, swallowing back what he wanted to say.

Miss Jiang was unaware, but he knew perfectly well.

Just how much does Lu Lishen treasure this ring?

Every night during high school, when he passed by the study, he would always see the boy sitting alone at his desk, his profile made even more handsome by the bright white light above him, his fingertips gently caressing his ring, a subtle tenderness between his cool brows, and his eyes deep and focused.

It's as if you're looking at someone through the ring.

The room was completely dark and isolated from the world, with only a faint light guarding the secret between the boy and the ring.

Ah Zhu didn't know who the ring was for, but he knew it must be very important to Lu Lishen.

No one else is allowed to touch it.

But now, the man uses a dismissive "That's not good enough" to describe it.

Ah Zhuo thought that if the ring had consciousness, it would have already fainted from crying by the roadside.

Jiang Jixu said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, things happened a bit suddenly so I didn't prepare a gift..."

“It’s alright.” Lu Lishen lowered his eyes and slowly took out another item from the bag.

The white gauze lay between the man's fingers, creating a dreamlike scene.

Jiang Jixu's vision blurred for a moment, then she realized that Lu Lishen was helping her put on her veil, and quickly said, "I can do it myself..."

"do not move."

Two simple words rang in his ears. Jiang Jixu pursed his lips and let the other person do as they pleased.

A few seconds later, Lu Lishen withdrew his hand and his gaze fell on her face.

It hasn't been moved yet.

Seeing this, Jiang Jixu awkwardly raised her hand to touch the white veil that had fallen onto her shoulder: "Doesn't this look a little strange? Why don't you take it off?"

"Need not."

Lu Lishen's Adam's apple bobbed.

The girl's figure was reflected in his dark pupils.

The white veil intertwined with her cascading long hair, below which was a small face no bigger than the palm of your hand. Her cheeks were not sunken, her round almond-shaped eyes blinked, and her nose was small and delicate.

Same as before.

It was easy to capture his attention.

Lu Lishen's eyes flickered, and the scattered stars fell down; his suddenly quickened heartbeat was proof of his love.

His voice was slightly hoarse.

"It's beautiful."

Their eyes met, and Jiang Jixu's heart skipped a beat.

"……Thanks."

Ah Zhuo's gaze darted back and forth between the two, consciously minimizing her presence, but inwardly she was screaming.

Young master, don't say a word! Rush up and kiss her!

"Young couple, stop staring at each other! Have you filled out all the forms? Come in and take your photos!"

Not far away, the staff member in charge of taking photos poked his head out, speaking rather loudly.

Jiang Jixu immediately lowered her head like a quail, her face and neck turning completely red.

A smile flickered in Lu Lishen's eyes. "Let's go."

"Mmm...mmm." The girl nodded vigorously.

Upon entering the room, the staff member in charge of taking photos saw the two faces clearly and couldn't help but click his tongue, saying in a teasing tone, "The young man is quite handsome, no wonder he has the young lady completely captivated."

Jiang Jixu was even more embarrassed.

Lu Lishen said quite naturally, "I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

My wife is a little shy.

"It's nothing to be shy about," the staff member said with a smile, waving their hand. "It's okay for the young lady to be a little embarrassed. Just think of it as applying rouge; she'll look better on camera!"

"Here, take this."

He handed the red booklet next to him to Lu Lishen and instructed him, "Read the oath first, and then take the photo."

"Just stand on it, yes."

The staff member's tone became serious: "Please, the newlyweds, face the solemn national flag and emblem and recite your wedding vows."

"We voluntarily agree to become husband and wife, starting today..."

The soft, cool female voice and the deep, magnetic male voice, one high and one low, are like a piece of music.

The two were very close, and Jiang Jixu could smell the pleasant jasmine scent on the man, her long, half-closed eyelashes trembling slightly.

"...we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that marriage brings us."

Lu Lishen's pupils were as black as ink, and his gaze never left the girl's gentle profile.

With thin lips, he recited the wedding vows, each word perfect and without a single mistake. "From this day forward, in good times and in bad, in riches and in poverty, in health and in sickness, in youth and in old age, we shall stand together through thick and thin, supporting each other through thick and thin, loving each other for a lifetime."

The camera captured this moment.

Jiang Jixu stared at the red booklet in his hand, still somewhat dazed.

She never expected to get married so soon.

The phone vibrated slightly.

Jiang Jixu picked it up and saw that Lu Lishen had created a group chat for both families at some point, and at that moment, there was only one photo in the group.

The bright red of the marriage certificate in the photo is striking.

But they still couldn't compete with the newlyweds in their ID photos.

The girl smiled gently at the camera, while the boy looked aloof and refined, yet couldn't help but let a slight upturn appear at the corners of his lips.

They are a perfect match.

Jiang Jixu paused for a moment, then took a picture of the marriage certificate in his hand and sent it to the group chat.

Jiang Wang's profile picture was the first one to appear.

There are only three question marks inside the green bubble.

Then a sarcastic message was posted.

Forgot my own name: [Lu Lishen, aren't you bored? Still using Photoshop these days?]

However, the next second, a series of red envelopes overwhelmed his message.

The images of Jiang's father, mother, and an unfamiliar face led Jiang Jixu to guess that it was Lu Lishen's mother.

I sent out red envelopes to everyone, and there was a note on the envelope with four words—

Happy Wedding

Forgot my own name: [Wait, what's this group? Why are you guys here, Dad?]

Unfortunately, nobody paid any attention to him.

Jiang Jinian also sent a message to congratulate them.

Read aloud: 【Congratulations, sister.】

A red envelope followed immediately.

Forgot my own name: [Damn it, Jiang Jinian, what are you doing here?!]

It seems he hasn't figured out the situation yet.

Just as Jiang Jixu was about to leave to chat privately with Jiang Wang, a profile picture with a red background and white clothes popped up.

The nickname next to it is 【Lu Lishen】.

Just a simple sentence: 【Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you, sister.】

Jiang Jixu stared at the profile picture for a while, then clicked to enlarge it. Sure enough, it was their marriage certificate photo.

She was a little stunned.

The black car stopped right in front of the girl at that moment, and the window slowly rolled down, revealing Lu Lishen's face, which was so contemptible that it was infuriating to both gods and men.

His face remained as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Jixu opened the car door and got in.

The car started slowly.

The phone kept vibrating, but Jiang Jixu had no interest in looking at it.

As they passed the traffic light intersection, the car stopped. She bit her lip, but couldn't help but ask, "Why did you change your profile picture?"

Lu Lishen's fingers on the steering wheel paused, his voice steady.

"I think the filming was alright."

He turned to look at her, his voice cool and composed: "Is there a problem?"

No problem, but this isn't an ordinary photo, it's a marriage certificate photo...

Jiang Jixu clenched his fist.

He shook his head again: "No, no."

The air froze for a few seconds until the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence.

The red light at the intersection turned green, and Lu Lishen started the car, his voice low and deep.

"Please answer this for me."
