Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 279 - Chapter 279 Chapter 278 Let Go of That Girl (5)

Chapter 279: Chapter 278: Let Go of That Girl (5) Chapter 279: Chapter 278: Let Go of That Girl (5) Su Shu couldn’t believe it as she lifted her eyes to look at him, big brother… with so many people around, could you not be so narcissistic?

Tang Zelin, pointing at Su Shu beside him, boasted to the government personnel with a face full of spring breeze, “My wife is good in every way, just that she’s young with a somewhat thin skin, so please tease me instead, don’t make her uncomfortable.”

Su Shu’s almond-shaped eyes widened. Please, she wasn’t what he described at all?!

After Tang Zelin finished speaking, Su Shu found that the looks she received from the staff across indeed changed a bit, as if there wasn’t the same… contempt as before?

From start to finish, apart from being asked to smile for the photo, Su Shu almost continuously played the image of a gentle wife of few words.

Well… under someone’s deliberate protection.

“Come, come closer, smile!”

Su Shu looked at the person taking the photo in front of her, and then at the man sitting next to her who was in a pleasant mood and suddenly felt like everything before her eyes was like a dream, bewitching.

Was she really going to marry Tang Zelin?

An exceedingly handsome face turned towards her, white teeth, a warm smile.

“Su Shu, look at the camera, not at me.”

Oh.

She obediently turned to look at the camera, and the hand resting on her lap was quietly held by someone else.

Hand in hand for life.

Could this be what it feels like?

“Come on, sit still, don’t move, give us a smile, ready!”

Click!

The camera clearly captured this moment of sweetness.

***

Two freshly printed marriage certificates, one for you, one for me.

“I’ll keep it safe for you.”

Whoosh, the certificate in Su Shu’s hand flew over her head and landed in the palm of the man beside her.

Turning around, she went on tiptoes to reach for it.

On the open ground outside the government office, Tang Zelin held the marriage certificate up high, unfazed by the girl in front of him who hopped around trying to reach it.

Bang!

“Ah!”

With a sudden outcry, Tang Zelin clutched his abdomen, unable to believe that the marriage certificate in his hand had been snatched away by a heartless woman.

“Planning to murder your husband just after the wedding, huh?”

Su Shu responded with a “heh heh” laugh.

“You want to bully your wife just after the wedding, huh?”

Tang Zelin paused, suddenly struck by Su Shu’s sudden burst of innocent charm; to be precise, his heart skipped a beat.

He couldn’t exactly describe how being married felt; he had no experience.

He grew up watching his father stay single in the military for many years, and thought he would probably just dedicate his life to the country.

He had never thought about the significance of marriage before. Was it something optional?

Having it was okay, and not having it wouldn’t be a big deal either.

When did the idea of marriage start popping up repetitively in his mind? Was it from when he first met Su Shu? Or from the time he was lying on the stretcher, looking back at her? Or perhaps after the Apocalypse and their reunion?

The exact moment when people genuinely bonded, that was really hard to say.

He couldn’t think of more reasons for what marriage meant; all of sudden, he felt he had a heavy responsibility towards Su Shu for the rest of his life, wanting to keep her safe beside him, watching over her himself for reassurance.

Watching Su Shu looking seriously at the two marriage certificates in her hands, unable to hide the smile at the corners of her mouth, as if she was even more looking forward to the arrival of these two certificates than he was, Tang Zelin suddenly felt compelled, stepped forward.

He opened his arms and tightly embraced Su Shu, who was eagerly looking down, gently resting his chin on her head, his voice unusually tender.

“Su Shu, thank you for being willing to marry me.”
