After applying the medicine, and due to concerns about aftershocks, Mengmeng and the others left the city of K that very night.
Fortunately, the students from Capital University who had come to K City were safe, except for a few injuries, and were all prepared to return.
Mengmeng slept that night on a makeshift bed in the helicopter.
Because she had injuries on her bottom, she had been lying on her stomach the whole time.
Gu Zhihan stayed up all night watching over her, quietly gazing at her beautiful face.
This time, he didn’t want to be separated from her ever again!
Once he made up his mind, Gu Zhihan shifted his gaze to Mengmeng’s parents, "Uncle, Auntie, I want to go and register our marriage with Mengmeng."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Luo were momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Gu Zhihan to say such a thing suddenly.
However, they quickly came around and nodded, "That’s possible."
"Absolutely no problem!" Mr. and Mrs. Luo raised both hands and feet in agreement.
Gu’s mother also hurriedly chimed in with a beaming smile, "I agree too!"
"And me!" Gu’s father promptly followed.
"Don’t try to make yourself seem important," Gu Zhihan said coolly, glancing at the elders.
He was only asking Mengmeng’s parents; it wasn’t about them.
"Hey! This stinky boy!" Gu’s mother glared at him, and if she hadn’t been considering his dignity, she would have taken off her shoe and thrown it at him.
He didn’t even consider who helped him get his wife!
Jiang Yibai saw that the two families had just settled on the marriage between Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan, his fingers suddenly tightened, but his face pretended as if nothing was amiss, and he casually said, "They are still university students, is it appropriate to register now?"
He had always felt that as long as Mengmeng wasn’t married, he might still have a chance, but once she got married, his chance would become even slimmer.
So, no matter what, Jiang Yibai wanted to try one last time for himself.
"Why wouldn’t it be appropriate?" Gu Zhihan, fully aware of his thoughts, countered, "Is there a school rule that prohibits students from getting married?"
Jiang Yibai was suddenly at a loss for words.
There really wasn’t...
It was simply his own selfishness not wanting them to register so quickly.
"You’re welcome to come to our wedding celebration later."
Jiang Yibai lowered his eyes, remaining silent without responding.
At his side, Lu Zichen watched him, suddenly feeling a sense of sympathy.
His situation was strikingly similar.
The person he loved was in love with someone else...
Once they got back home, Mengmeng was still sleeping, and Gu Zhihan carried her straight to her bed.
When she woke up, he immediately told her about it.
"Mengmeng... let’s go register our marriage," Gu Zhihan said, his dark pupils looking at the drowsy girl. Although he had not slept all night, his eyes still sparkled brilliantly.
"Register for what?" Mengmeng, just waking up and still groggy, didn’t grasp what he meant at all.
But she quickly caught on, and her sleepiness vanished as she exclaimed in shock, "Did you just say, we, we are going to register?"
Whether it was too exciting or too shocking, she stammered as she spoke.
"Yes, register," Gu Zhihan answered, encircling her slender waist and whispering by her ear, "Don’t you want to?"
Mengmeng chewed on her finger, shook her head after a moment of eye contact with him, "It’s not that I don’t want to, it just feels too sudden."
