Chapter 23: Official Announcement, We’re Married!

Lin Yang held the camera in his hands, pointing the screen toward Shu Mengyao.

He flipped through the photos one by one, letting her choose.

Shu Mengyao looked through the photos very seriously, occasionally revealing a thoughtful expression.

As she continued looking, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

“Lin Yang, I can’t decide,” she said, her voice sweet and slightly coquettish. She looked at Lin Yang as if asking for help.

The photographer standing nearby felt her heart melt. How could there be such a cute girl in this world?

“Just pick this one, and please send me the others,” Lin Yang replied with a smile.

Among the many photos, he chose only one.

In that particular picture, Shu Mengyao was smiling happily, like the first rays of summer sunshine that could dispel any gloom.

Lin Yang loved her smile.

“Okay, you two wait a moment; I’ll print it out right away.”

Nowadays, instant photos were taken with digital cameras and then printed using a printer. It was quick and convenient.

Five minutes later, they received a physical copy of the photo and digital versions of the others.

The photographer even thoughtfully cut out two smaller prints for them.

“Give these two to the staff later.”

“Got it, thank you,” Lin Yang nodded, accepting the photos.

“Feel free to find me if you need anything,” the photographer said reluctantly as they left.

He couldn’t help but feel attached to this exceptionally good-looking couple.

Who knew when he’d encounter such a pair again?

With the photos taken and the marriage application form filled out, the next steps were straightforward.

The process finished swiftly.

“From now on, you two are legally married.”

“Congratulations!”

They were handed two red marriage certificates.

“Thank you.”

…

The summer sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled patterns on the ground. It also bathed Shu Mengyao and Lin Yang as they stepped out of the civil affairs bureau.

“Lin Yang, we’re husband and wife from now on,” Shu Mengyao said, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.

“Yes”

“With our marriage certificate, we’re legally married.”

He waved the certificate in his hand, feeling a mix of excitement and contentment.

“Can I take a photo?” Shu Mengyao asked, her curiosity shining through. She examined the two certificates, which bore their names and their joint photo.

This document signified that they were now a family.

“Of course,” Lin Yang said. “And how about we make an official announcement while we’re at it?”

Lin Yang suddenly thought.

Shu Mengyao is more socially phobic and has no sense of security.

She has repeatedly asked him if he has someone he likes.

Now I have my certificate.

It’s a great opportunity.

“Official announcement?” Shu Mengyao blinked.

She had heard of celebrities making official announcements about their relationships or marriages, but they were just ordinary people.

Did they really need to make an announcement?

“Yes”

“Let’s post it on our social media. Make those classmates envy me.”

Lin Yang grinned mischievously.

Shu Mengyao, the reigning campus beauty for four years, was the campus goddess adored by countless male students. If they knew she was married and even had a baby, it would surely cause a stir.

“Why would your classmates envy you?” Shu Mengyao tilted her head.

She was often preoccupied with social anxiety and probably had no idea how popular she was at school.

“Because of you.”

“You’re a goddess to many people.”

He playfully ruffled Shu Mengyao’s hair, and her eyes widened in surprise.

“Yaoyao, you also have a copy of marriage certificate,” Lin Yang changed the topic.

He handed one of the certificates to her, and they each held one.

In the sunlight, they took a photo together.

Subsequently, Lin Yang edited a social media post: “For the rest of our lives, I’ll be by your side.”

Shu Mengyao’s lips curved into a smile as she enlarged the photo and solemnly liked it.

The image was just the cover of their marriage certificate, without an actual picture.

However, when Lin Yang posted it, the comments poured in:

[**Zhang Qiang**: What? The campus heartthrob got married! When did he fall in love? He didn’t even tell us!]

**[Lin Fan**: I remember this guy used to like Shu Mengyao. Great, one less competitor!]

[**Wang Chao**: Guys, give up. This kid’s wife is Shu Mengyao.]

[**??????]**

Wang Chao’s casual comment caused a frenzy.

After countless classmates saw it, they frantically put question marks.

Unaware of this, Lin Yang drove to Shu Mengyao’s rented apartment.

Since they got married, it can be regarded as she was completely moving to his house.

They needed to pack up her things and bring them over.

The spacious business car made it easy.

“Lin Yang, wait for me on the couch,” Shu Mengyao said, blushing. It was the first time she brought a man to her place, and it felt a bit awkward.

“You’re the one who should rest.”

“I’ll do it; just help me from behind.”

Shu Mengyao was still recovering from childbirth, so she shouldn’t strain herself.

But she insisted on coming because her lease was expiring soon.

Renewing for another month would be impractical.

“I don’t have a lot of stuff.”

“Just a few clothes and some books.”

Shu Mengyao pointed to the wardrobe next to the living room.

It was neatly laid out, with some clothes stacked on top of each other.

She pointed to a pink suitcase nearby. “I have a suitcase you can use.”

There are also some stickers of Kitty on it.

Turns out she still likes it.

Lin Yang silently wrote it down.

Lin Yang noticed a peculiar book while moving the books: “Dog Heart.”

The synopsis revealed it was about a dog turning into a human.

No wonder he’d jokingly called Wang Chao a dog before, and Shu Mengyao had taken it seriously.

Who knew she secretly enjoyed reading such stories?

Looking at her other books, mostly science fiction.

It was quite a contrast.

He couldn’t help but imagine what Shu Mengyao would look like when she was reading this book seriously.

“Is there anything strange?” Shu Mengyao asked, noticing Lin Yang’s sudden smile.

She had worried about having something strange in her room.

“Almost done”

“Check if anything’s missing. If not, let’s head home.”

Lin Yang smiled and shook his head.

Shu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked around the small room.

After confirming that there was nothing left behind.

The two of them left.
