My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Since she couldn't make herself outstanding, she could only try to improve in other ways.

"Even when you say something like that with a serious face, you're not handsome at all."

Lin Jiu understood that Wang Yuting wasn't joking, but he didn't intend to stop her.

Does this girl really think that her every move is kept secret? When Lin Jiu was cooking in the kitchen, washing clothes in the bathroom, or wiping the cabinets on tiptoe in the living room, Wang Yuting was secretly watching him.

Lin Jiu simply never exposed her.

after all……

Lin Jiu was actually enjoying the feeling of Wang Yuting watching him.

"Then, let's do it one more time."

Lin Jiu looked up and gazed into the clear, caramel-colored eyes.

"I love you, I love you deeply, more than anyone else—please become my wife."

Lin Jiu conveyed his feelings to her. He gazed into Wang Yuting's eyes, her clear, candy-like eyes glistening with a misty haze. Lin Jiu found his own reflection in her eyes.

As if she wanted to hide the person she loved most in her eyes, Wang Yuting slowly closed her eyes and gently nuzzled Lin Jiu.

"I am willing."

Her soft voice seemed to have relieved her of all worries, entrusting everything to Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu placed his hands on her back, hugged her, and comforted her.

"That's more like it, that's how a marriage proposal should feel," Lin Jiu said with a light laugh.

"You just have to make me cry to be satisfied, don't you? Honestly," Wang Yuting grumbled. She clearly didn't want to cry; she should be laughing right now, but Lin Jiu had made her cry again.

I will make you happy.

When Lin Jiu confessed his feelings to Wang Yuting, he was still quite naive, and his thoughts were more focused on making Wang Yuting happy. He wanted to be the one to make Wang Yuting happy, and he worked hard towards that goal. Now, he already is; all he needs to do is stay by her side.

It's unclear whether this change in mindset is due to Lin Jiu becoming more mature or because his love for Wang Yuting has deepened.

"Lin Jiu, I will make you happy too."

Wang Yuting did not unilaterally enjoy Lin Jiu's promise; she made a vow to Lin Jiu that this would be her lifelong commitment.

The two embraced, and in the quiet night, they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

This was a long-awaited moment of peace; the two hadn't had time to themselves together in a long time.

Every night when she went to sleep, she would hallucinate hearing Lin Xuan's voice. This child was like a cat that habitually woke up in the middle of the night, and the worst part was that she couldn't stay up as long as she could with a cat. Once, Wang Yuting couldn't help but take out her phone and play a video, placing it next to the child so that Lin Xuan could listen to impassioned and inspiring quotes about encouraging learning.

How could you sleep like that!

"How can you sleep at your age!"

"At your age, at this stage of your life, can you even sleep well?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan burst into tears. Her voice was so clear that she was a rising star in the world of sopranos.

"Jiu'er, do you know?"

Wang Yuting's voice broke the silence of the night.

“The young couple entrusted their child to the grandparents, and neither of them needs to go to work tomorrow… Do you know what this means?” Wang Yuting said softly, turning her head slightly, her cheeks flushed. “Haven’t we been apart for a long time…”

As Wang Yuting finished speaking, she buried her face in Lin Jiu's shoulder and gripped his clothes tightly with both hands.

"If Jiu'er is tired, then she doesn't have to force herself."

"Yuting..."

"If Jiu'er isn't here, I always feel very lonely by myself."

Wang Yuting hugged Lin Jiu and acted coquettishly, her cuteness level skyrocketing, making Lin Jiu's heart flutter.

How could he possibly refuse her? It was as if three options appeared before Lin Jiu's eyes, each one indicating that he should agree to her request.

"...We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, so don't go overboard," Lin Jiu reminded her. He was worried that if Wang Yuting went too far, neither of them would get any sleep that night. Tomorrow was Lin Jiu's twenty-second birthday, which meant he could finally go get his marriage certificate with Wang Yuting.

"Good~"

Wang Yuting responded sweetly.

therefore……

"Coke! Fill it up!"

"There aren't enough potato chips on the left!"

"Game console ready! Controller fully charged!"

Wang Yuting sat on the sofa, and Lin Jiu sat in her lap, the two of them forming the Saihuang Armor.

"Game connection!!"

Wang Yuting happily raised her hand. In the past three years, she hadn't once shared snacks, drinks, or games with Lin Jiu. She had never imagined that her lazy days with Lin Jiu would be such a precious experience, naively thinking that every day could continue like this. Since having a child, the two of them felt exhausted just taking care of the child, and Lin Jiu even put all the knowledge he had learned in school into practice.

Lin Xuan is three years old now. Sometimes she quietly observes the adults' actions, and sometimes she clings to her parents.

Whenever Wang Yuting gets intimate with Lin Jiu, Lin Xuan will run over and stand between the two of them.

Wang Yuting felt helpless. She was happy that her daughter took the initiative to stick to her, but sometimes she felt that she was a third wheel.

Compared to Lin Xuan, Lin Yingying was like a warm, inviting third wheel, while Lin Xuan was like a radiant, unyielding light who barged in without a word, showing absolutely no respect.

Holding the game controller, Wang Yuting excitedly said, "So many online games have been released in recent years. Kirby alone has had countless installments. The current Kirby can swallow a Gundam in one go and then transform into a mobile suit."

"Really!"

Lin Jiu had played this series of games with Wang Yuting, and he quite liked them. He never expected them to have evolved to this extent.

Gundam, that's every man's dream of romance.

Kirby in StarCraft is cute.

Mobile suits, so cool.

When these two are combined, you get both handsome and cute!

Lin Jiu swayed excitedly, eagerly anticipating the game update progress bar to speed up.

Wang Yuting couldn't help but smile as she watched Lin Jiu relax and unintentionally reveal her childlike side when she let go of the pressure of raising children.

"I really miss the days when I could wake up and play games, and then go to sleep," Wang Yuting said with emotion.

"Don't even think about it as long as I'm by your side. I'll only let you play for six hours a day at most." Lin Jiu wouldn't let Wang Yuting live a life where all she does is play games and sleep. She has to make time for eating, showering, and resting.

"Hmm~"

Wang Yuting pressed her chin on Lin Jiu's head, and her hands went under Lin Jiu's armpits, vigorously rubbing the handle buttons.

"Although I miss the days when it was just the two of us, I don't hate my life now."

Wang Yuting said slowly.

Her gaze was fixed on the television screen, but the images on the screen changed from games to snippets of her life over the past few years.

“I have indeed reduced my gaming time. On the contrary, I have increased my time in other areas. The time that should have been spent on games has been used to think about Jiu’er and Xiao Xuan. Rather than saying I lost, I would say I gained.” Wang Yuting put the controller on the table, wrapped her arms around Lin Jiu’s waist, and leaned against Lin Jiu’s back.

"The time spent playing games has decreased, but the happy and joyful moments have not decreased, but rather increased."

"Yuting..."

Lin Jiu also put down the handle and placed his hand on the back of Wang Yuting's hand.

"Are you trying to change the subject and then take off my clothes?" Lin Jiu pressed down on Wang Yuting's restless hands.

"It's all your fault for rubbing against me like that. I'm furious now, so just give in to me!" Wang Yuting pounced on him without waiting for a reply. Once she made up her mind, she wouldn't stop even if Lin Jiu said the safe word.

At first, Lin Jiu was able to struggle a little and try to change his position, at least to get him on top.

After a while, Lin Jiu's voice of resistance gradually quieted down.

After daybreak.

Lin Jiu looked at Wang Yuting with a resentful expression.

Wang Yuting didn't dare to look Lin Jiu in the eye and silently turned her head to eat her breakfast.

Because Wang Yuting was so noisy last night, Lin Jiu has to clean the sofa today, otherwise it will leave stains and odors.

"stare--"

Lin Jiu silently watched Wang Yuting.

Wang Yuting felt the unspoken pressure and said cutely, "I know I was wrong."

"Humph."

Lin Jiu then forgave her and handed her a glass of milk without making a sound.

Wang Yuting picked up the milk and smiled foolishly.

After the meal, the two changed into their outdoor clothes, took their identification documents, and went out together.

"Seriously, cheer up."

Seeing that Wang Yuting still looked a little sleepy, Lin Jiu gently tugged at her sleeve and reminded her, "It's time to get the marriage certificate."

"it is good!"

Wang Yuting braced her hands on her waist, instantly perking up and all her fatigue vanished.

Lin Jiu smiled indulgently as he watched her strike the Super Saiyan pose, gathering her ki.

The two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and because there weren't many people, they were quickly processed. The required documents were their permanent residence booklet, their resident ID card, a signed statement declaring that they were unmarried and had no direct blood relationship or collateral blood relationship within three generations with the other party, and three recent two-inch color photos of them together, half-length and without head coverings. After submitting the documents, the subsequent procedures were quickly arranged.

Guided by the staff, Lin Jiu and Wang Yuting arrived at the oath-taking platform. Lin Jiu glanced at the oath and memorized it all.

"It is an honor to present you with your marriage certificate. Please answer my questions carefully."

The staff member, holding a thick book, turned to Lin Jiu and Wang Yuting and asked clearly, "Are you getting married voluntarily?"

Lin Jiu and Wang Yuting exchanged a glance and both smiled.

"We voluntarily agree to become husband and wife," they both said at the same time.

The staff member nodded, stepped aside, left the oath-taking platform, and saluted the solemn national flag and emblem.

"Please read the Wedding Vows!"
