The next day, Ying Sisi got up very early.
She deliberately tied her hair into a low ponytail, clipped her fringe back with a black hairpin, and exposed her forehead.
When she went out to wash up, she ran straight into Li Yuwei.
Li Yuwei paused slightly. Ying Sisi’s head shape was really nice—full and round. Even with a simple tie, it looked neat and clean.
“You tied all your hair up? Two braids would look much better on you.”
This was the first time Ying Sisi had styled her bangs up like this, and she felt a little awkward, even shy for no reason.
“I think this looks more mature.”
Li Yuwei smiled knowingly. “You’re really ignorant, aren’t you? No matter what age a man is, they all like eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girls. Two braids suit you best.”
Ying Sisi immediately frowned. “If two braids are so good, why don’t you wear them?”
Li Yuwei: “……”
Ying Sisi snorted and walked off to brush her teeth and wash her face.
After breakfast, she brought her documents and household registration booklet and set off.
Li Yuwei followed behind.
Halfway there, they ran into Qin Yanci.
Ying Sisi immediately ran toward him excitedly. “Ah Ci, why are you here?”
The girl’s forehead was exposed, making her facial features look even more striking.
Her eyes were bright and lively, her lips red and teeth white—beautiful beyond words.
Qin Yanci’s gaze brightened slightly, and the corners of his lips lifted. “I came to pick you up.”
He took out a red envelope from his pocket. “My father asked me to give this to you.”
Ying Sisi was pleasantly surprised.
So even registering a marriage came with a red envelope?
“Please thank uncle for me.”
“Tonight when you meet him, you should call him Dad like I do. He also agreed—”
Before he could finish, he noticed Li Yuwei and his expression turned cold.
“What is your sister doing here?”
Ying Sisi said meaningfully, “She’s accompanying me to get the certificate.”
Qin Yanci replied, “You’re not illiterate.”
Li Yuwei couldn’t understand it at all.
What was going on?!
Why was Qin Yanci smiling at Ying Sisi?
In her previous life, she never even received a good look from him.
No marriage certificate. No red envelope.
Was her memory wrong?
Her mind was in chaos, but she forced herself to calm down and said, “Sisi can’t read. I’m worried she might write her name wrong.”
Ying Sisi immediately objected. “Li Yuwei, I can read. The educated youth in our village held literacy classes. All the young people attended. The villagers even praised my handwriting.”
Trying to embarrass her in front of Qin Yanci? Not a chance.
Li Yuwei forced a smile. “Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“That’s… good then,” Li Yuwei said reluctantly.
Ying Sisi looked at her deflated expression and secretly curved her lips in satisfaction.
They soon arrived at the registration office.
The door was closed.
Qin Yanci knocked.
Li Yuwei said, “Is anyone inside?”
The next second, the door opened from within.
A young man with upright features peeked out. When he saw Qin Yanci, he immediately smiled.
“You’re early. This must be your wife, right?”
He was looking at Li Yuwei, who was standing in front of Ying Sisi.
Li Yuwei’s heart trembled, and she was about to deny it—
But Qin Yanci pulled Ying Sisi forward. “Open your damn eyes and look properly. This is my wife.”
Ying Sisi: “……”
Is he saying “wife” a little too naturally?
Has he been practicing this in secret?
The young man coughed. “Cough cough… hello, sister-in-law. My bad, I was mistaken. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Ying Sisi smiled gently. “It’s fine.”
They entered the hall.
The young man handed them pre-prepared forms.
Li Yuwei leaned over.
She wanted to see what Ying Sisi’s handwriting was like.
Qin Yanci finished quickly and looked at Ying Sisi.
She wrote slowly, stroke by stroke, but every character was neat and tidy.
Even Li Yuwei was stunned.
She didn’t expect Ying Sisi to actually know how to write.
Didn’t her father say Ying Sisi was illiterate?
