Psst! We're moving!
The weather was beautiful on the day they registered their marriage. The sun shone brightly, dappling through dense leaves and falling upon the couple.
Since it was a weekday, the two, like any ordinary couple getting married, waited in line, completed the marriage procedures, and took photos.
The photo was once again captured.
It was the beautiful photo on their marriage certificate.
When they received the red booklet and stepped outside, Bo Ying was still a little dazed.
It was too fast.
Much faster than she had imagined.
She and He Jingxiu left the civil affairs bureau and returned to the car.
She looked at the red booklet in her hand, then looked up at the person opposite her, “He Jingxiu.”
He Jingxiu raised an eyebrow, “What did you call me?”
He tapped the marriage certificate she was holding.
Bo Ying chuckled, “Just called you He Jingxiu.”
He Jingxiu paused, took the marriage certificate from her, opened it, and lowered his eyes to look at their joint photo. He paused again, then called out deeply, “Wife.”
It was a common enough address, but coming from He Jingxiu’s mouth, Bo Ying felt it carried a different meaning.
She rubbed her ear, her lips curving upward, “Here.”
The two exchanged smiles.
Bo Ying looked up, leaned in and kissed him, softly calling, “Husband?”
He Jingxiu’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he responded, “Always here.”
He lowered his head and held her, sharing a long, lingering kiss in the car.
Since it was a weekday, after registering their marriage, they still had to go back to work.
On the way back to the company, Bo Ying received messages from Pei Yunmeng and her colleagues, asking why she had suddenly taken leave.
He Jingxiu had also taken leave, so they wondered if the two had gone to register their marriage.
Bo Ying looked at her phone, then turned to He Jingxiu, “Mr. He, they’ve guessed what we went to do.”
He Jingxiu raised an eyebrow, “Hmm?”
“Let’s go to the supermarket and buy some candies,” Bo Ying suggested, “Anyway, we still have time.” He Jingxiu, “Okay.”
On the way to the supermarket, Bo Ying posted the photo of their marriage certificate on her WeChat Moments.
[Bo Ying: Today is a good day.]
As soon as she posted this, her WeChat began vibrating wildly.
They were congratulatory messages from friends and colleagues. She smiled, holding her phone and replying to each one, thanking everyone.
After parking at the supermarket, He Jingxiu looked at her, “Wait.”
“What?” He Jingxiu took out his phone, “I’ll post one too.”
He rarely posted anything on his WeChat Moments. Occasionally, there would be information related to the group, but personal life information was very rare.
However, he had posted photos of Bo Ying a few times: once for her birthday, once for the proposal, and once for New Year’s.
The main character in He Jingxiu’s few Moments posts was always Bo Ying.
And this time, it was a marriage certificate, something that happens only once in a lifetime.
To complement what Bo Ying wrote, his Moment read—Every day from now on will be a good day.
Because of Bo Ying.
Every day she was there would be the best day.
As soon as he posted this, the number of likes and comments was even greater.
There were many sincere well wishes, as well as teasing and playful comments.
And Luo Xiao, he was the first to comment.
Luo Xiao: Aren’t you being too cheesy!!
Pei Yan: Blocked.
Sheng Chun: Congratulations to Mr. He and Yingying! When are you treating us to dinner? And you, up there, why are you blocking him? You should learn from Mr. He.
Bo Yan: Take good care of my sister.
...
Bo Ying and He Jingxiu had many mutual friends. Seeing their concerned messages on her post, and then looking at everyone’s attitude towards He Jingxiu, she couldn’t help but laugh.
She linked her arm through He Jingxiu’s and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. He, have you ever wondered why everyone is so unfriendly towards you?”
He Jingxiu, “I have.”
Bo Ying raised an eyebrow, anticipating him to say something shameless.
He Jingxiu looked at her, and said cheesyly, “They’re jealous that I have such a beautiful wife.”
“...”
Bo Ying choked on his words, completely unprepared for him to praise her like that.
She suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously, “Hmm, I think so too.”
He Jingxiu: “...”
He tapped her head and asked softly, “Is this enough?”
“Enough, enough.”
Bo Ying said, “There aren’t many colleagues at our law firm. What about your company?”
He Jingxiu thought for a moment, “I’ll have Assistant Qi handle it.”
“...Okay.”
Back at the law firm, Bo Ying distributed the wedding candies to everyone.
That day, Bo Ying was in a very good mood. She couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason, she just felt very happy.
Registering her marriage with He Jingxiu, she felt no anxiety or nervousness, only joy.
This joy was the confidence and courage that He Jingxiu gave her daily.

Life after getting married continued as before.
However, He Jingxiu and Bo Ying both became busier. Aside from work, with the wedding approaching, they started frequenting their new home, occasionally supervising and offering their ideas and suggestions.
Considering various factors, they decided to hold the wedding at the school.
It was the campus of No. 1 High School.
Every autumn, the ginkgo trees at No. 1 High School were a beautiful sight, attracting old alumni and tourists alike.
And here, Bo Ying and He Jingxiu shared many wonderful memories.
Originally, both of them wanted to have the wedding abroad.
But after thinking about it, they felt it would be too troublesome. They planned to visit Bo Ying’s and He Jingxiu’s study abroad locations during their honeymoon, to see the traces of their lives left there.
The decision to hold the wedding at the school was proposed by Bo Ying.
Compared to large hotels, she preferred the open-air school grounds, with tall ginkgo trees on both sides, their golden ginkgo leaves looking beautiful and vibrant.
As soon as she made this suggestion, it immediately received everyone’s approval.
He Jingxiu thought it was good, and Madam Chen also agreed.
Chi Lu and the others even thought it was a great idea. They had been away from their high school campus for too long, and returning in such a way, to commemorate it, wasn’t a bad idea at all.
“Then we should wear school uniforms,” Chi Lu said, raising an eyebrow. “How about we all wear school uniforms when we’re making trouble in the evening?”
This suggestion was even more readily agreed upon by everyone.
“Alright,” Yan Qiuzhi said, “You handle the school uniforms; you’re the best at it anyway.”
Chi Lu choked.
When Bo Ying told He Jingxiu about Chi Lu’s idea, He Jingxiu was startled, then looked down at her and asked, “School uniform temptation?”
“...” Bo Ying choked slightly, her face reddened, and she whispered, “The teachers wouldn’t allow that.”
He Jingxiu replied smoothly, “Then how about I be your teacher that day?”
“...What else does Teacher He have to teach me?”
Hearing this, the smile in He Jingxiu’s eyes deepened. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, murmuring indistinctly, “Plenty.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he whispered, “Whatever you want to learn, Teacher He can teach.”
“...”
________________________________________
The wedding date was set for early November, a perfect time in autumn.
Because of Bo Ying’s wedding idea, He Jingxiu personally communicated with the school principal and teachers. Among the auspicious dates, he chose a Saturday.
Holding the wedding at the school on this day wouldn’t affect the students’ classes, and friends and colleagues attending wouldn’t need to take leave.
A few days before the wedding, the couple’s relatives and friends, as well as staff, began surveying the school grounds to find the best wedding venue.
Finally, they settled on a lush green lawn.
Bo Ying and He Jingxiu didn’t manage anything, leaving everything entirely to them.
The night before the wedding, the two finally found time to visit the site. Upon seeing the beautifully decorated venue, Bo Ying was stunned.
She had always known the school was beautiful, but she had never imagined it could be this beautiful.
Entering from the school gate, there was a path lined with flower petals.
Walking further in from the entrance, there were photos of her and He Jingxiu displayed on both sides. Some were joint photos, but more were individual ones, like a historical record of their growth.
The ginkgo trees were adorned with twinkling lights, prepared for their evening activities there.
In addition, the wedding venue itself was exquisitely beautiful, with careful thought put into every detail, all things Bo Ying loved and had once fantasized about.
“So beautiful.”
Bo Ying gazed at it, suddenly feeling a sense of déjà vu.
It was as if this scene had appeared in her dreams, and now that dream had come true.
He Jingxiu looked down at her, “Are you satisfied?”
Bo Ying nodded, “Satisfied.”
She looked at him and smiled, “Thank you.”
She hadn’t really managed any of this; she only provided ideas when He Jingxiu asked. The actual communication and implementation were all handled by He Jingxiu, with Madam Chen and others helping out with errands.
He Jingxiu saw her expression, knew she genuinely liked it, and felt relieved.
He held Bo Ying’s hand and softly said, “Don’t be nervous.”
Bo Ying, “I won’t be.”
As the two were about to linger a bit longer, Bo Yan and Chi Lu’s voices came from behind, “Mr. He, it’s time.”
Chi Lu reminded him, “You should return tomorrow’s most beautiful bride to us now.”
He Jingxiu: “...”
The two turned around.
Chi Lu said, “It’s past nine. Yingying needs to go to bed early.”
He Jingxiu nodded, looking at Bo Ying, “See you tomorrow.”
“...See you tomorrow.” Bo Ying suppressed a laugh, “You get some rest early too.”
“Hmm.”
The two were forced to part ways.
As she walked back with Chi Lu, Bo Ying couldn’t help but grumble, “Couldn’t he have waited until ten to come for me?”
Chi Lu: ‘I originally planned to go at ten, but your brother kept rushing me.’
She asked, “You know what your brother means, right?”
Bo Ying didn’t particularly want to know.
Chi Lu saw her aggrieved expression, patted her head, and sighed, “Time flies so fast.”
“Huh?”
“Our Yingying is getting married.”
Bo Ying couldn’t help but laugh, reminding her, “You’re the same age as me; you got married last year.”
Chi Lu glared at her indignantly, “Is that what I meant?”
Bo Ying laughed, linking her arm with Chi Lu’s and leaning on her, “I’ll still bother you two often after I get married.”
Chi Lu, “Welcome.”

Considering various factors, they stayed near the school that night.
Back in her room, Zheng Jinyao and Sheng Chun were already there.
Bo Ying was startled, “You haven’t gone back to rest yet?”
“No,” Sheng Chun looked at her for a long moment, “Yingying.”
“What’s wrong?”
Sheng Chun asked, “Do you want Mr. He to marry you easily, or not so easily?”
Bo Ying blinked, looking into her eyes for a moment, and said hesitantly, “What do you mean by that?”
Zheng Jinyao, “We’re hiding things. Sheng Chun has a bold idea.”
“For example.”
“Usually for weddings, the bride’s side only hides the shoes and makes the groom and groomsmen find them, right?”
Bo Ying, “Right.”
She looked at her friends in front of her, lay down on the bed, and said, “Do you have any different ideas?”
Zheng Jinyao, “I don’t, but Sheng Chun does.”
Bo Ying, “What is it?”
Sheng Chun, “How about hiding the wedding dress?” She lay down next to Bo Ying, looking for praise, “Isn’t that a very special idea?”
Bo Ying: “?”
She blinked, looking at Sheng Chun with a bewildered expression, “If you hide the wedding dress, what will I do when they come tomorrow?”
Sheng Chun, “You’ll make Mr. He find it. Once he finds it, you put it on, and then he can take you away.”
“...”
