"Wife, you hit way too hard. Do you not feel even a little bit sorry for me???"
"This is blatant domestic violence! Look, this whole big patch is all bruised."
"My poor, tragic second half of life! Entrusted to a woman who practices domestic violence—(??) I don't even know if you'll beat me to death someday."
"........"
In the hospital corridor.
Lin Xuan was pushing the wheelchair with one hand and clutching his waist with the other, baring his teeth and pretending to be in agony.
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~~"
"I'm not listening, not listening, turtle chanting scriptures! I'm not looking, not looking, turtle laying eggs!"
Su Qingge rolled her eyes and directly covered her ears, acting like she hadn't heard a thing.
She knew perfectly well how much strength she'd used; there was no way it hurt that much....
Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮
A man's mouth is nothing but a lying ghost!
Drama kings—men really are all untrustworthy drama kings!!!
Seeing that he couldn't fool the girl's sharp eyes, Lin Xuan looked depressed, ┐(?～?)┌ shrugged his shoulders, stopped acting, and got down to business.
"Qingge, I'll go home first to get my ID card and household register!"
"You can wait for me here at the hospital, and once I get back we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together?"
"......"
In the face of his question, Su Qingge silently took a few documents out of the bag she carried with her.
"I brought all your documents for you in advance. We can go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau now!"
"Σ(⊙▽⊙"a Hiss~~~"
Lin Xuan sucked in a breath of cold air, utterly stunned.
He never would've thought Su Qingge had prepared everything long ago—looked like she'd been coveting his body for quite a while →→......
Two and a half minutes later, the two of them first went to visit Su Shengtian's ward.
"Grandpa, you have to get better soon..."
Looking at her grandfather lying there, sleeping like a vegetable, and not waking up, Su Qingge lowered her gaze, muttering to herself as she earnestly hoped in her heart.
Behind her, Lin Xuan was also speaking to the old man in the bed:
"Yeah! Grandpa, I'm about to go get the marriage certificate with Qingge! From now on I'll be your one-hundred-percent genuine grandson-in-law!!!"
"(^▽^) Surprised? Unexpected?! If you don't wake up soon, your great-grandchildren might already be on the way!"
"But don't worry, I'll fulfill your wish of holding your great-granddaughter and great-grandson as soon as possible."
"I already have a rough outline for the 'Twelve Zodiac Plan.' Let's see if this year I can work hard and give the Su family a little Dragon Baby first."
"Grandpa, don't worry. As Qingge's good-luck live-in son-in-law, I know my glorious mission is to continue Qingge's bloodline and build a big family blessed with many sons and many fortunes."
"In order to achieve that, even if I die from being completely drained dry, it'll be worth it!!!"
"I'll keep working hard, Grandpa Su, you can set your mind at ease a million times over!!!!!!!"
"........"
Lin Xuan pounded his chest so hard it thundered, his face solemn as he loudly swore to the unconscious elder.
It was just that, when these words entered Su Qingge's ears, visible black lines appeared on her forehead.
￣□￣｜｜.
Although Lin Xuan's tone was very fired-up, the content of what he said just sounded wrong no matter how she listened...
There were so many spots to roast that she didn't even know where to start?!
"(O_o) What's wrong? Qingge, did I say something bad?"
"No, you said it very well, but you're not allowed to say it again next time!"
"......."
After lingering in Su Shengtian's ward for half an hour, Lin Xuan finally pushed the girl in the wheelchair out of the room again.
When they passed the door with the room number [91] in the corridor, Lin Xuan instinctively stopped.
He knew this room number belonged to Mu Xiaowan's ward, so Su Fan was probably inside taking care of her......
"Mm? What is it?"
Seeing Lin Xuan suddenly stop and zone out, Su Qingge asked curiously.
"I want to say hi to Brother Su Fan and let him know that you're going with me to get the marriage certificate."
Lin Xuan answered honestly.
He was, after all, his big brother-in-law; since he was about to go get the certificate with his sister, it was only right to give him a heads-up.
(??????)?? Heh heh....
And he could conveniently let the Son of Destiny know that from now on they'd be completely one family.
Then he could completely coast along behind the protagonist and lie flat, letting Su Fan shoulder all the burdens for him...
"???"
Su Qingge's head was full of question marks; what did them going to get the marriage certificate have to do with Su Fan?
Why did they even have to go specifically to inform him???
But although she didn't understand, Su Qingge didn't refuse and tacitly accepted Lin Xuan's decision.
Click!
Opening the door, Lin Xuan pushed the wheelchair inside.
In the ward.
Mu Xiaowan, in a hospital gown, was lying on the bed scrolling through Douyin in boredom, occasionally letting out a silly "ge ge ge" laugh.
"Looking at her complexion… her body should be recovering pretty well. She should be discharged in the next couple of days!"
Next to Mu Xiaowan's bed, Su Fan was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt washed so many times it'd gone pale and a pair of jeans with several holes.
One hand was shoved coolly into his pocket, the other holding a manga as he flipped through it.
Seeing this.
Lin Xuan smiled as he walked over and took the initiative to greet them, instantly drawing the attention of the two in the room.
"Brother Su Fan, what are you reading that has you so absorbed?"
First Su Fan looked up to glance at the visitor, then from the corner of his eye he pretended to casually sneak a look at the girl in the wheelchair.
~~( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~~~.
Seeing that his little sister's face had color again and her health had recovered well, the corners of Su Fan's lips curved up unconsciously, and he felt a whole lot more at ease in an instant.
Then he answered in a concise, cool tone:
"Nothing, I was bored. I just grabbed some manga out of the drawer to kill time."
"I see....."
Lin Xuan walked closer, quite curious as to what kind of manga a Son of Destiny like Su Fan would enjoy reading.
He glanced at the cover of the manga and found that it was a short manga that ended in just ten pages......
[Title: Getting Closer and Closer]
[Art: Wu Fu]
[Editor: Queen Q-zi]
[Produced by: Weibo Comics]
......
The manga ends with just these ten pages; I've put them all here.
......
"So, Brother Su Fan likes reading horror-element manga like this?"
Lin Xuan was a bit surprised.
He'd thought Su Fan would prefer reading some kind of "The War God Returns," "Slaughtering All in His Path" invincible-type manga....
"Horror? This is a horror manga? I thought it was a gag manga! It didn't stir my heart in the slightest, I even kind of wanted to laugh...."
"Uh (⊙o⊙)..... Brother Su Fan, you're not afraid of ghosts?"
"Ghosts? Heh… never mind that there aren't any such things in this world! Even if there really were, if they dared to mess with me, I wouldn't mind scattering their souls to the four winds!!!"
"......."
The corner of Su Fan's mouth quirked as his pretending skills steadily went up another notch.
He didn't believe for a second that things like "ghosts" existed in this world....
They were nothing more than products of people's imagination, born from fear.
And if things like that really did exist, with how many pieces of trash he'd killed over the years, why hadn't any of them shown seeking revenge?!
Besides, the weak are just weak.
Even if they become some different kind of existence, it doesn't change that fact; at worst, he'd just kill them one more time......
