CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 180: WE CAN GET OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE NOW

Bi Ke’s eyes suddenly widened, "What?"

"Coward?"

"Who the hell is a coward?"

He yanked Wen Shi’s hand away, angrily saying, "Challenge accepted,"

"I absolutely refuse to be called a coward. If I win tomorrow, you handle my chores for a month."

"You won’t win."

Confident in his own skills, Wen Shi let go, "I’m not as heartless as you. If you lose, you clean the latrine for a month."

Bi Ke stubbornly agreed.

Zhang Xinlu sighed, "Old Ke really has no self-awareness."

Oh well, let’s eat.

So, the four of them chatted while eating, the atmosphere quite harmonious.

Bi Ke and his crew had night training, so after eating to their fill, they returned to the camp.

Yi Chichi was escorted to her residence by Wen Shi, "Rest well tonight, I’ll bring you breakfast in the morning, okay?"

"Okay."

Then, Wen Shi took a coal ball to the neighbor’s house in exchange for a burning coal ball, using the coal stove to heat water for her bath.

"If you need hot water in the morning, don’t close the stove door completely; let it breathe a bit."

"I know how to use it."

With the original owner’s memory, when she first arrived at the Youth Corps Courtyard and didn’t eat with Wang Nan and the others, she used the small stove.

"So, should I leave now?"

He hesitated, making a move to leave, but his whole body screamed that he wanted to stay.

Seeing his contradictory behavior, Yi Chichi laughed and grabbed his arm, "How about you don’t leave?"

"No way, it’s bad for your reputation."

He refused immediately, with a face full of righteousness.

Yi Chichi saw the frustration in his eyes and laughed, "Then how about we chat after I finish my bath?"

"That’s, that’s actually not good either."

Worried he’d do something inappropriate.

Not wanting to harm Yi Chichi, he gently opened her grip, "Be good, Chichi. Once I finish filing the marriage paperwork, we’ll get the license first. Then we’ll hold the wedding back home or here, whichever you think is better?"

Yi Chichi thought about it and found it feasible.

"Let’s do it that way."

"I’ll go file the paperwork now."

Before he finished speaking, he had already left in big strides, "Remember to lock the door when you sleep tonight."

With a bang, the door was shut.

Yi Chichi was full of black lines on her forehead, he’s way too eager. Filing a marriage report at this hour, he’s bound to get scolded by his superiors.

He wasn’t scolded, but was advised instead.

"Are you sure you’ve decided on Mr. Yi?"

Wen Shi’s superior, Jiang Xingzhang, an old revolutionary, had personally recruited Wen Shi from the Border City and had high hopes for the young man.

He even tried to introduce him to partners, but the kid just wouldn’t open up.

Now he finally did, but... it’s a bit tricky.

He looked at Wen Shi, eyes full of scrutiny.

Wen Shi grinned and casually said, "Chichi’s great, I know my own temper, she can handle me."

This was more convincing than anything else.

Jiang Xingzhang knew further persuasion was useless, so he just signed.

"Take this to Old Guan, he should still be at work."

"Alright, thank you, leader."

Wen Shi happily picked up the report like a goofy dog ready to leave, but Jiang Xingzhang called him back.

"What’s up?"

He turned to ask, Jiang Xingzhang took a sip from his tea mug and said leisurely, "What’s the situation with Xiao He and Comrade Xiao Zhang now?"

"He Yunsong’s feeling inferior."

Wen Shi said calmly, "He can’t get over his mental block. No matter how much outsiders say, it’s pointless, I feel it’s going to be a tough one."

Jiang Xingzhang’s face turned sour, "I don’t care what method you use, get him to settle down soon."

Two promising young men, with decent looks and abilities, attracted the attention of the female battalion shortly after they arrived.

Matchmakers were everywhere.

Yet both of them were a hassle, completely unreceptive.

Finally, Wen Shi found someone himself, but He Yunsong got stuck.

A wretched situation.

How did I end up like a nanny who has to worry about everything?

Wen Shi didn’t know what was on his mind, but he could read the mood.

Didn’t dare to provoke him.

"Understood, leader, I’ll work hard."

"No, I need you to go all out."

Jiang Xingzhang commanded sternly.

Wen Shi saluted, "Yes!"

"Get out, you all give me headaches."

Wen Shi, ....Being a leader really suits him, being so unpredictable is top-notch.

Alright, once he signs off, he’ll sort out Old He’s marital issues.

Then he took the report to the political department to go through the process.

Half an hour later, he took the approval report and "Marital Status Certificate" to He Yunsong’s dormitory.

As soon as the door opened, smoke wafted out.

Wen Shi, "What’s up? Feeling troubled?"

He Yunsong gave him a sidelong glance, the most annoying are those who ask obvious questions.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang..."

He rubbed his face, "She’s a good girl, but I really don’t deserve her."

"Then who do you think deserves her?"

Wen Shi asked coolly, He Yunsong couldn’t answer, only silence.

What a coward.

I can’t even be bothered to scold him.

"I’m just asking, if Comrade Xiao Zhang really gives up and marries someone else, how would you feel?"

How would he feel?

He Yunsong thought seriously, realizing he couldn’t accept it at all.

Especially thinking if that man wasn’t good, and Comrade Xiao Zhang lived miserably—he couldn’t help getting angry...

Wen Shi watched him get lost in his thoughts, saw his expression change from blank to disbelief, then to obvious anger, knowing he had it.

"You have no parents, what are you afraid of? No need to feel inferior, you can marry into her family, then you’ll not only have family but also a wife and a grandfather. If someone brings up your lack of parents, you counter with your wife and grandfather."

He coherently and matter-of-factly explained.

He Yunsong thought Wen Shi was trying to trick him like he was a fool.

But he couldn’t deny marrying into her family was a good idea.

It’s not like He Family has anyone else, doesn’t matter much to him what happens.

Thinking this way, his fear and hesitation vanished instantly.

"Tomorrow, I’ll ask Comrade Xiao Zhang if she wants to be my revolutionary partner."

Wen Shi nodded in satisfaction, mission accomplished.

Indeed, there’s nothing he can’t handle, the leader didn’t misplace his trust.

He’s awesome!

Gotta share this good news with Chichi.

"Glad you figured it out, I’m leaving now."

"Where to?"

"I’ve got the report, going to tell Chichi the good news."

Waving the marriage report and marriage status certificate, Wen Shi was elated.

He Yunsong felt genuinely happy for him, "That’s great, get over there quickly."

So, Wen Shi eagerly ran to report the good news to Yi Chichi.

When he arrived, Yi Chichi had just finished her bath not long ago, sitting on a chair drying her hair.

Her wet hair dripping, face full of water, dressed in a large cotton dress that reached her ankles, only revealing two arms.

But Wen Shi still couldn’t help feeling a bit hot, taking a deep breath, he closed the door, turned his back to her to mentally prepare, then approached, "We can get the license now!"
