Not a god

Chapter 92 Getting a Certificate (18.2.17)
After completing the formalities, Assistant Chen drove to pick up my grandmother and took her to Tianfu First Hospital, which was not far from home.

In fact, after seeing her grandmother's condition, Chen Xi felt that there was no need for her to stay in the hospital. However, the hospital had a large number of people and equipment, so they could respond quickly if anything happened. Moreover, it was close, so it was convenient for Ms. Jiang and others to come and visit whenever they were free.

Her internal organs are failing, she is too old, and her time is up. No medical treatment can help. Even if a great immortal came to this world, he would be powerless to save her.

Chen Xi stood in front of the ward, and in a trance he seemed to see the scene many years ago again. He was also standing at the door, looking at his mother on the hospital bed.

The face in my memory has become blurred, but new ripples have once again arisen in my heart.

There is a peach tree outside the ward. Through the window, I can see the new leaves that had just grown a few days ago. My grandmother sat on the hospital bed and watched quietly. Her life was running out, and spring was getting stronger outside the window.

Hearing the ward door open, grandma looked towards the door, saw the person coming, smiled kindly and asked, "Xiaoxi is here to visit grandma again?"

Looking at the dying old man, that question almost came to the tip of his tongue again.

What is the purpose of life?
In the end he swallowed it.

Chen Xi smiled and nodded, and put the fruit on the bedside: "Have you felt better in the past two days?"

“Making a mountain out of a molehill!”

The little old woman pretended to complain, but she looked quite energetic.

These days, Chen Xi chose an auspicious day, after the Lantern Festival, and went to get a certificate with Wanwan.

Getting married seems to be a very solemn and sacred thing, a major decision that needs to be made with extreme caution and repeated confirmation.

In other stories, the hero overcomes all difficulties and finally marries the heroine.

But reality is not a story after all. The two had been talking about marriage for a long time, and grandma wanted to see them get married as soon as possible, so they got the certificate.

While waiting for the process at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wanwan was still in the duel arena. She hadn't finished yet after patting someone's head. She also watched an episode of "Princess Agents". She didn't look like she was going to get married at all.

But as soon as the certificate came out, she started to behave strangely again when looking at the photo of the two of them in the little red book. She muttered something in a low voice to herself behind him, and smiled strangely from time to time, like those shady characters in anime.

She looked at the little notebook and read the words on it.

"Certificate holder, Jiang Wanwan, hehe, registration date...marriage certificate number...male...hehe..."

"What are you mumbling about? Let's go back and see grandma."

“Wait, wait, there’s a free event at Heytea on the wedding day, let’s go drink Heytea first.” The girl jumped up and down with a big smile on her face.

"Your nose is going to fall off laughing."

"I won't show it to you. Go away!"

She was like a primary school student, pushing Chen Xi's back and walking forward. After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she was inexplicably excited.

"elder brother?"

"what?"

"You, you called me, that something..." At the end she suddenly shouted: "Forget it, don't call me!"

"What to shout?"

"Don't shout, don't shout! Hurry up, hurry up, the Heytea is almost finished!"

Although I was somewhat looking forward to it, the thought of being called "wife" by my brother gave me goosebumps just by imagining that scene.

This is too shameful!
Run, run, run faster and the shame will not catch up with me!

When they returned to the hospital, grandma looked at their marriage certificate and saw how well-matched they looked in the ID photo. Her face turned red and she just smiled.

Grandma's condition has really improved a lot. Chen Xi suggested bringing grandma back home to recuperate, and the whole family supported her.

In fact, getting a certificate is just a formality.

Chen Xi never puts getting the marriage certificate and the wedding banquet in a very high and sacred position, but if the people around him who care about him care about it, he will find such things very interesting.

The four-member group had returned to Jiangcheng after the Chinese New Year. Today, Jiang Wanwan called everyone back to the store and the coffee shop. The other three gathered in the store to play Landlord, while Douzi was at the front desk studying why the lucky cat's hands could move all the time.

Jiang Wanwan, who is already a married woman, came in with a lucky bag: "Come on, Douzi, come and have some candy."

Hearing that there was food, Douzi quickly gave up the fortune cat, stretched out his hands like wings to imitate a small airplane, trotted over from behind the counter, came in front of Jiang Wanwan, braked suddenly, leaned forward and backward for a while, stabilized himself, and asked:

"What, what to eat?"

"Wedding candy."

"Wedding candy?"

"Yes, I'm married to your boss, and I'm giving you some wedding candy to share in the good fortune."

"Get married!" Douzi's eyes widened immediately: "Sister Wanwan, are you married?"

"We just got the certificate. The wedding banquet won't be that soon. But getting the certificate should mean we are married in the common sense, right?" Douzi's eyes sparkled as she looked at him, "What does it feel like to get married?"

Jiang Wanwan thought about it, but she couldn't quite answer what she felt.

"It seems... it's nothing. Your boss and I have been together for a long time. Getting a marriage certificate is just a formality."

Douzi didn't understand what she said.

In her opinion, shouldn't a wedding be a grand, lively, romantic and unforgettable event? But for the boss and sister Wanwan, it seems to be different from what is shown in the TV series.

Are they not in love? Douzi knew that it was definitely not the case. The boss usually looked at everyone as if they owed him money, but when he looked at Sister Wanwan, there was always a smile in his eyes.

Oh, sometimes I would smile when I looked at her, but when the boss looked at Douzi smiling, it was usually not a good thing.

Love is so complicated, Douzi couldn’t understand it, but sister Wanwan’s wedding candy was very sweet and free. Douzi ate one and it was very sweet.

When will she get married?

Forget it, I'll just eat one more, it's so sweet!

"Congratulations, Wanwan has become the real boss lady." Chen Yan also came over to get a candy to share the joy.

"Wow, wedding candy!" Su Qingyue looked surprised: "You guys are already married after only 200,000 words. Isn't it usually the finale that has the wedding plot?"

“It’s just getting the certificate.”

Wanwan looks a little cute and charming today, with a blush on her cheeks from time to time.

She and Chen Xi had never attached much importance to marriage in the past, because all along, they had never doubted that they would not end up together.

Because, they are not just boyfriend and girlfriend, their relationship should be called brother and Wanwan.

Couples will separate, but brother will always be brother, and Wanwan will always be Wanwan. No matter what kind of relationship they have, they will never separate. This was the promise that brother made with her a long, long time ago.

As long as her brother promised, he would do it, so Jiang Wanwan never worried that her brother would leave her. Therefore, her emphasis on getting married or not is different from other women in today's society.

However, when I really got this little red booklet and saw the portraits of myself and my brother next to the place where the ID photos should be on the marriage certificate, I felt like I was labeled, with the words "Chen Xi's wife" added to my face.

The focus is not on the wife, but on the prefix 'Chen Xi's'.

Just like Chen Xi’s hands, Chen Xi’s eyes, Chen Xi’s hair, Chen Xi’s wife… It sounds like I have become my brother’s property, hehe.

What should I do? We’ve only been apart for a short while, but I suddenly want to see my brother as soon as possible. Humph, you stinky old man, you abandoned such a lovely little wife just after getting the marriage certificate.

*
Jiang Wanwan went to distribute wedding candies to her friends, and Chen Xi also went to distribute wedding candies to his friends, but he had more friends.

There are graduate students, mentors, classmates, and finally friends from the Sports Department.

There is an activity room in the Sports Department, but usually there aren't many people there. Today it seemed like there was a meeting going on, so quite a few people were there, so Chen Xi went over to hand out some wedding candies.

As soon as the door opened, everyone including Zhen Wen, Su Jiuer and others were there, as well as some unfamiliar faces that Chen Xi had never seen before.

"Senior Brother Chen Xi!"

"Old Chen, are you here to play ball?"

"Happy New Year, Brother!"

As the Minister of Sports in the previous term, Chen Xi is quite prestigious.

"So everyone is here. I'm here to distribute the wedding candies."

Zhen Wen looked surprised: "Did you really get the marriage certificate?"

"It's already been posted on WeChat Moments, how could it be fake?"

Everyone in the Sports Department howled:
"I have achieved great success in love, career and studies. Old Chen, please start the class. I will kneel down and listen."

"Brother, you must be happy!"

"Why did my senior brother get married? I have lost my love forever."

Chen Xi rolled his eyes at the group of idiots and said, "Stop talking nonsense and come get the wedding candy."

"I want my brother's candy!"

Chen Xi noticed that there were some unfamiliar faces in the activity room, and these people were probably not from the Sports Department.

At this moment, Su Jiuer took a candy and coughed twice:
"Ahem, happy wedding, Senior Brother Chen Xi. Um, I just happened to need you for something. Can you spare me a moment?"

Chen Xi looked at her strangely: "You are free, what's the matter?"

"It may not be convenient to talk here. If it is convenient, can you come out and discuss it in detail?"
