I was silent as the car drove towards the hospital. I only turned to look at Pei Shi Yu when we stopped at a red light.

Pei Shi Yu said, "How about we get our marriage certificate this afternoon?"

"We'll see."

"Let's just decide. I'll go home and get my household register later."

"We're just getting married like this?" Pei Shi Yu said with some doubt.

I thought about it and said, "A lot of things are a gamble, and marriage is no exception. The more you think, the more conflicted you become. Let's just go all in today."

Pei Shi Yu suddenly fell silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with my suggestion. But as I saw it, since she would take the initiative to ask me about registering our marriage, she must have made up her mind, but she would inevitably feel hesitant about really taking this step.

Soon, the car entered the hospital gate. At this moment, Pei Shi Yu said, "Then you go home and get the household register. I'll go in by myself."

I immediately rejected her suggestion. "Let's go together. I finally get to accompany you, and it's probably the last time."

"The doctor is a classmate of mine. I've been here many times. If you want to get the certificate today, hurry home and get it. If you're back in time, wait for me at the Civil Affairs Bureau after my examination."

"Alright, if I'm not there when you're done, you wait for me upstairs. I'll go up and find you."

"Got it."

I watched Pei Shi Yu's back until she slowly walked into the clinic, then I opened the car door and got in. On the way back, I called my mom. The moment she answered, I said excitedly, "Mom, Pei Shi Yu and I are going to get our marriage certificate later."

"That's great! Why did you suddenly agree?" my mom asked happily.

"She brought it up. I'm going home to get the household register now."

"Is your household register with your dad?"

"No, I'm independent."

"Don't use that complaining tone. Getting married is a good thing. You have to cherish it in the future. If you feel we've let you down, treat Shi Yu well and maintain the family well."

"Definitely. In my mind, you guys are negative examples, so I will definitely cherish it. I'm calling you just because I thought I should tell you about this."

"Lao Wang said to invite you to dinner next Friday. Shi Yu should come too, along with her dad. Let's all get together. You Xiang and Wang Xin are also back. Consider it a farewell dinner for you."

"What about my dad?" I asked her loudly on purpose.

"Since when did you two get so close?"

"Shouldn't we be? He's all alone now. Besides me, who else can bring him the warmth of family?"

"Then take him over to live with you in the future."

"If he really needs care when I come back in the future, it will be necessary."

"Alright, I won't talk anymore. Congratulations first."

"Is Lin Hai invited?" I asked seriously again.

"Invite him separately before you go abroad. If you call him to come together, you won't be embarrassed, but I will!"

"Got it."

"Don't forget to call Shi Yu's dad."

"Are we eating at a hotel?"

"We'll host it at home this time. Let Xiao Wu be the chef."

"Can Xiao Wu do it?" I asked with a skeptical attitude.

"Yes, he's the head chef at the restaurant now. That kid learns pretty fast."

"Then I won't chat with you anymore. Pei Shi Yu is still at the hospital."

Just as I was about to hang up, my mom immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is she not feeling well?"

"No, she's just doing a routine prenatal checkup."

"Be careful this time."

"Is there a secret?"

"What secret is there? Just pay more attention to yourself on weekdays, and don't have too much psychological burden."

"After I leave, visit her often."

"It's no problem to visit her, it's just that I don't have a very familiar feeling yet. I have to find something to talk about when I'm with her."

"Just get to know her personality, and just take care of her for me."

"I will take care of her when she gives birth, don't worry, will you come back then?" my mom asked.

"I definitely won't be able to come back. I might come back for a trip when I have a vacation."

"Then go ahead and get busy. You can come to the restaurant for dinner tonight," my mom invited.

"I'll talk about it later, I have to ask Pei Shi Yu."

"Okay, then I'll hang up."

........

When I returned to the hospital again, Pei Shi Yu hadn't finished the examination. She was sitting in the hospital corridor. I quickly walked to her side and asked, "How many more tests do you have to do?"

"I'm waiting for the blood test report. If everything is normal, we can go back."

I asked a little impatiently, "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

"Do you like boys or girls?" Pei Shi Yu asked, looking at me with a smile in her eyes.

"A girl, I especially hope to have a daughter."

"We don't know yet. I'll let you down if it's not."

"What's disappointing about that? I just hope to have a daughter, but I'll love both boys and girls the same. It's a pity I won't see the day of the birth."

"I'll send you a video then."

"That's a promise."

After chatting for a few words, Pei Shi Yu's name appeared on the electronic screen. I immediately went forward to get the form, and Pei Shi Yu followed suit... Looking at the report in my hand, everything was normal.

"Wait for me here, I'll go in for a moment, I'll be right back," Pei Shi Yu said softly to me.

"I'll go in with you."

"No, there's someone inside. I'll go in and tell her something and come out."

After Pei Shi Yu went in, I looked around. The corridor was full of pregnant women. Several of them looked like they were about to give birth, their bulging bellies looking like they were about to burst. Being here gave me a feeling of being touched by the scene, and I suddenly became very gentle. This is also the birthplace of new little lives.

Five minutes later, Pei Shi Yu pushed the door open with a smile. Compared to other pregnant women, she didn't seem to have any of the characteristics of a pregnant woman at all, and even her pace seemed very light.

So I smiled and stepped forward, lowering my voice and saying, "You don't look like a pregnant woman at all."

"Uh? What should a pregnant woman look like?"

"Walk slower."

"I was still wearing high heels yesterday."

"Don't gamble your style with the child."

"There's no need yet, I'll naturally be careful when I need to be."

"Prevention is better than cure. My mom also told me to tell you to be careful."

Pei Shi Yu suddenly replied humorously, "It's okay if your dad's not here."

I looked at my watch, it was almost ten o'clock, so there was still time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. So I took Pei Shi Yu's hand and said, "Let's go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau now."

"What time is it?"

"Ten o'clock."

"I didn't tell my dad."

"Your dad can't wait to marry you off, he definitely won't object," I said, looking at Pei Shi Yu with confidence.

"Alright, we can also get a divorce if we don't get along in the future."

"Tsk!"

Although I understood that Pei Shi Yu was joking, I felt very unlucky. I finally got back together with her, and I didn't want to hear such ominous words.
