After I Wrongly Chose the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date!! - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 – Getting the Marriage Certificate

Lin Jing found himself absent-minded since he nodded his head that time. He wasn’t completely sure if the poison would really hurt him. What would Ji Anli think of him at this moment?

At first, he didn’t want to tell him because he was afraid that he would be scared upon knowing it, but now he thought about whether he should hide it. Especially when he saw Ji Anli walking around with his head down, his heart was inexplicably hanging.

Soon Ji Anli stopped, and Lin Jing subconsciously looked at him waiting for the other party’s verdict, but he was stunned the next moment.

Did he hear it wrong? What Ji Anli just said was indeed about getting their marriage certificate, right? But how did he suddenly jump from the topic of his unhealed wounds to the matter of getting the marriage certificate?

‘Is there any connection between the two? Why do you suddenly want to get a marriage certificate?’

Ji Anli thought Lin Jing didn’t hear clearly, so he repeated, “We will go to register our marriage tomorrow. Although the time is a bit tight, you see, eight days is within ten days, and three days is also within ten days. There is no difference, right?”

Lin Jing felt that what he said made sense for a moment. The other party’s eyes were probably too serious, as if it was really right. He murmured in a trance: “Is it…?”

It was already midnight when Lin Jing returned to his suburban villa. He was still confused. He went to the living room without turning on the lights and sat on the sofa for a long time without figuring out why he agreed to it.

He had a sense of unreality all the way back. He sat in the shadow of a corner of the sofa, just blankly staring at a spot in front of him.

The moonlight seeped in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and with the mottled shadows of the trees and the overlapping reflections of the furniture, it was really hard to see the figure huddled there for a moment.

In the middle of the night, Manfred was thirsty, so he limped from his room at the end of the first floor to the water dispenser next to the French window and got a large glass of water. He supported himself with a crutch on one arm, held the water cup in the other hand, peeled off the gauze on his face, and took a big gulp.

The cold water slid into his thirsty throat, making him feel refreshed physically and mentally. He couldn’t help but take another big sip. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting there quietly. He was so startled that he spat out the water.

The next moment he pounded his chest and started coughing: “You, you you…”

Manfred hadn’t finished saying who he was, but he took a closer look in the moonlight. Why did it look so much like the boss? He turned on the light and confirmed that it was really the boss. He felt uneasy: “Admiral, why are you sitting here so late at night?”

‘I don’t know… Will something bad happen if someone scares someone else like this?’

Manfred came to his senses and felt something was wrong. The Admiral was probably emotional. Did Mr. Ji regret it? Did he dump the Admiral? So the Admiral was here alone in the middle of the night to heal his emotional wounds?

The more Manfred thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. He stopped drinking the water, walked to the separate sofa with full energy, and consoled him earnestly: “Admiral, you have to be more open-minded. Even if Mr. Ji regrets it, it is understandable. After all, we are too rough and we are not usually gentle and considerate. It is reasonable for us to be disliked.”

Lin Jing glanced at Manfred, his eyes were deep, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like, “What nonsense are you talking about?” “You think too much.”

Manfred said in a long voice, “Admiral, don’t be embarrassed. Why is it so hard to admit it? If you are not healing your broken heart, why are you sitting here so late at night?”

Lin Jing: “I’m going to register my marriage tomorrow. I’m thinking about what to wear.”

Manfred opened his mouth to say how could it be possible? Although he was sick, his brain was still intact. If he remembered correctly, the registration was planned to be seven days later? This was not even half the time, right? But facing the Admiral’s serious expression, Manfred was silent for a moment, and then he let out a sharp explosion: “Ahhh!”

Ander was woken up by the noise and rushed out from the room on the second floor, leaning over the railing and yelling, “Damn it Manfred, you’d better be okay, otherwise you’ll forget it!” It would be a disaster if he didn’t sleep so late at night!

Manfred leaned on his crutch and didn’t know whether he was excited or shocked: “Don’t sleep, something big has happened. The admiral is getting married tomorrow, why are you still sleeping?”

Ander had already turned around to go back after yelling, but he paused when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly opened them when he realized what the other party had said: “F*ck!!”

In the second half of the night, compared to the brightly lit and bustling suburban villa, Ji Anli fell asleep as soon as he returned to the hotel.

After he mentioned the idea of getting the marriage certificate, he was still worried that Lin Jing would think it was too soon and would not agree. He had already made up a lot of nonsense about the eight-day period before the other party agreed. Who would have thought that Lin Jing would actually agree after hearing all his nonsense?

Maybe it was because Lin Jing’s promise made him feel at ease, but Ji Anli slept very well that night without any dreams.

Ji Anli woke up at seven o’clock the next day. After washing up, he thought for a while and took out a simple set of white shirt and black pants. He originally wanted to dress formally, but he felt that it was too grand and Admiral Lin would think that he had ulterior motives for getting married so soon. So he simply chose clothes that were suitable for taking pictures and not too formal.

But when he went out, he was stunned when he saw three people standing in a row outside. His eyes especially fell on one of them. He forgot to react, and his eyes were filled with amazement.

Jie Lie and the other guard were still dressed as before, wrapped tightly in guard uniforms, which he was used to seeing in the past few days, but the appearance of Lin Jing, who was facing his door, surprised him.

It was the first time he saw Lin Jing wearing a suit, especially such a formal suit. The black hair above his forehead was combed back, revealing his superior facial features and high nose bridge. His usually sharp eyebrows were completely softened at this time, neutralizing the hostility and pressure around him, and instead adding a kind of mature, gentle and elegant look.

Ji Anli had only seen Lin Jing wearing two kinds of clothes, one was a formal military uniform, and the other was his second form’s original skin, but this Lin Jing was different. For some reason, he couldn’t help but think of the image of the other party’s second form also wearing a formal black suit, white shirt and tie.

Ji Anli couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. It was over. His thoughts had wandered off and he couldn’t pull them back.

Lin Jing was originally quite calm, but he hadn’t slept the whole night before. He was worried that what he wore would be inappropriate. But Manfred and the other two were even more nervous than him, and they urgently had various clothes sent to him for him to try on.

Finally, he decided to wear a suit just before going out. He didn’t think much of it as many people stared at him along the way, but at this time, he was stared at by Ji Anli, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Jie Lie and the other man looked straight ahead, but they were deeply shocked, especially when they saw Admiral Lin, dressed in a neat suit, standing at the door, completely different from his usual image, just as they were diligently exchanging duties at dawn. The shock was indeed strong.

Jie Lie and the others thought that no wonder Mr. Ji chose Admiral Lin. It was just a date and yet they were making such a big fuss about it. It turned out that even a steely straight man like Admiral Lin, who’s fighting power is at the top, could be gentle when he meets his sweetheart.

Ji Anli finally pulled his thoughts back, coughed softly, and praised: “You look… very nice.”

Lin Jing felt even more uncomfortable. He also thought Ji Anli looked very good today, but he couldn’t say anything too straightforward, so he simply changed the subject: “Shall we leave now?”

Ji Anli responded, and after closing the door, he said goodbye to Jie Lie and the others and told them that they didn’t need to follow him today. Before leaving, Lin Jing suddenly remembered something, took out a few candies and handed them over. After Jie Lie and the others took them in a daze, he strode out with Ji Anli.

Jie Lie and the other man realized it later and raised their hands to look at the candies in their palms. They saw that each one had a “happiness” character written on it. Their eyes widened and they wondered, could this be… wedding candy? Could it be that Mr. Ji and Admiral Lin were going to register their marriage? But, today was only the third day, right?

An hour had passed when Ji Anli and Lin Jing arrived at the registration office. It was still a while before 8:30 in the morning. Because today was not a special day, not many people came to register, so they got their token quickly.

The two of them followed the process and took photos first. These were the photos that would be uploaded to the system for registration and record keeping. At that time the system would retrieve their IDs, and the partner’s information would also be displayed, including the wedding photo of the two.

The photographer didn’t expect to meet such a good-looking couple early in the morning. Their eyes were shining. When taking pictures, they kept shouting, “Come closer, yes, yes, come closer…”

Finally, he picked out the closest photo and recorded it, grinning from ear to ear, then enlarged it on the projector to show the two newlyweds: “How is it?”

Ji Anli didn’t feel anything when he took the photo, but now looking at the photo with their heads almost touching, he felt a little dazed for a moment.

Especially when his own eyes were curved with a smile in them, his pupils were filled with bright light. Lin Jing next to him also had a slightly raised mouth, and a smile in his eyes, which softened his whole demeanor. It looked as if they were really a pair of partners who loved each other very much.

Ji Anli stared at the photo in a daze. His initial thought when he mentioned getting the marriage certificate last night was to register early to bind Lin Jing’s identity into the system and obtain the touch task to obtain the medicine to heal the poison. He registered with a purpose in mind, so he didn’t feel any difference from before.

But at this moment, he truly realized for the first time…something seemed really different.

Lin Jing beside him also had the same idea as him. He looked at himself in the photo and never thought that he had such a warm side. He then looked at the other face, and his heart felt soft and light at this moment, as if soaked in comfortable warm water, free and relaxed, gradually immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

Half an hour later, Ji Anli and Lin Jing walked out of the registration office. He stood at the door and did not leave immediately. Instead, he stared at the identity data on his ID being refreshed. It would take ten minutes to refresh after registering for marriage.

He refreshed the page again and again until a bracket suddenly appeared behind the ID, which showed an ID: Partner : Lin Jing.

At the same time, the system’s voice sounded in his mind: 【Congratulations to the host for having a rare first-level partner. The touch task is officially launched. The touch value obtained from completing the touch task in the future will be X10. Does the host want to bind the partner Lin Jing immediately?】

Ji Anli was curious about something else: “Let me see what touch tasks there are first.”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a transparent window appeared in front of him where no one else could see, displaying a task menu. The moment he saw the description of the content clearly, Ji Anli opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
