Why are you still here

On November 11th, the Singles' Day of the whole world, it is said that on this day, all those who are adults have not found the other half of the people to give their own festival.

On this day, single men and women found a variety of programs to celebrate the festival, but because there will be no holiday on this day's festival, many single men and women are more programs that go crazy shopping on the Internet, in order to vent their single depression and unwillingness.

This year's Singles' Day is different from last year's, because last year's Singles' Day was a sunny day, and the sun was as warm as early summer, which made people laugh and say that being a singles was also brilliant.

And this year's Singles' Day rains, in fact, in November, the rain in the south is not heavy, but it is just like that, from morning to evening.

On Singles' Day, major businesses are very busy, because in addition to the crowd of online shopping, there are also many people who go to various shopping malls to shop, so you can see the words "shopping carnival" everywhere.

In addition to these places, there is actually another place that is also busy, and that is the marriage registry office of the Civil Affairs Bureau, because many young people who find the other half of their lives choose to end their single life on this day.

The staff of the Marriage Registration Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau were busy from morning to evening, and it was not until 6 p.m. that they finally got the marriage certificate of the last couple in order.

When they came downstairs, they saw a young man of about thirty years old standing there with an umbrella, as if he had forgotten the time, his eyes had been fixed on the gate, as if he was waiting for someone, but he seemed to have not been able to wait.

The aunt who took the photo whispered to the staff who had just walked out of the door: "This person came here in the morning, he has been standing here, it seems that he should be waiting for someone to come and apply for a marriage certificate with him, but this is all off work." ”

The staff looked at the man standing in the rain with sympathetic eyes, and although he was holding an umbrella, the female staff member who loved to follow gossip news still recognized him.

"This is Mr. Shi of Zhanye Group," the female staff member whispered to her colleagues: "I didn't expect him to be here, could it be that the woman who was going to marry him never came?" ”

"Didn't Shi Yan break up with Lin Chenxi?" A person next to him who knew a little bit about gossip news asked suspiciously: "Could it be that he found a new love so quickly?" ”

"What, I heard that his favorite is his ex-wife," the female colleague glanced at the colleague, and then quickly gossiped: "It is said that he broke up with Lin Chenxi because his ex-wife came back from the UK"

These people were talking as they walked, but because these people were far away from Shi Yan, Shi Yan standing in the rain couldn't hear them at all.

Besides, even if he heard it, he wouldn't care or argue or anything, and at this moment he looked at the gate, wondering if she would come.

At half past eight this morning, he went downstairs to Anjia, holding the household registration book he took from Bai Huirong at the airport last night, and went upstairs to knock on Anjia's door with great interest.

However, the person who came to open the door for him was Shao Minzhi, who was barely able to walk on his legs, and was surprised when he saw him, and asked in a lost voice: "Didn't you go to register your marriage with Mu Hibiscus?" She's been gone for a long time, why are you still here? ”

"She's been gone for a long time?" Shi Yan also felt a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "Did Mu Hibiscus say anything when he left?" Did she say where she was waiting for me? ”

Shao Minzhi shook his head: "When I got up, she had already gone out with her bag on her back, and she told me that breakfast had been made for me and let me get it myself. ”

Shi Yan immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart, hurriedly said goodbye to Shao Minzhi, and called Mu Hibiscus as soon as he ran downstairs, but her mobile phone was still turned off.

So, he called Mu Feng's phone again, asking Mu Hibiscus if he went to work in the company, Mu Feng scolded him for being neurotic in the phone/phone, saying that Mu Hibiscus arranged his work yesterday, didn't he marry him today?

So, he could only drive towards the Civil Affairs Bureau, thinking that she was going to surprise him, maybe waiting for him in the hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau?

However, when he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, he realized that he was destined to be disappointed in this idea, because there was no shadow of hibiscus in the hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

He took a picture of Hibiscus and asked anyone here if anyone had ever seen her here, but everyone shook their heads and said they hadn't seen such a person at all.

Mu Hibiscus didn't come to the Civil Affairs Bureau, her mobile phone was turned off, no one knew where she went, and he, except for waiting for her at the Civil Affairs Bureau, didn't know where Lu Dao was going to look for her.

Of course, he also asked his assistant to look for it in front of the grave of Hibiscus's father, An Zhengrong, but there was no one either, and the uncle at the gate of the cemetery said that he didn't see An Murong go over today.

At noon, his mother Wu You arrived, saw him standing here alone, sighed, and finally left without saying anything, only saying that he would see Mu Hibiscus and give her a call, if she couldn't wait for his call/call at seven o'clock in the evening, then she would drive back to G City.

From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, until this time, at about six o'clock in the afternoon, the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau left after work, and he was still standing here alone.

The aunt who took the photo finally couldn't look at it, so she couldn't help but step forward and remind him softly: "Sir, we are off work here, go back, even if she comes, you won't be able to get a marriage certificate today." ”

"Xie Lu Xie, I know Lu Dao," he said Xie Lu Xie, but his footsteps still stood there motionless, looking at the empty gate in the rain and fog, and then said again: "I'm going to wait for her here." ”

The aunt was slightly stunned when she heard his words, then shook her head and walked away, she thought that this person was probably a little abnormal in his brain, and she didn't need to pay attention to a fool.

The last person in the Civil Affairs Bureau left, the street lights were on, and the man holding the red umbrella in the rain curtain looked more and more lonely, but he stubbornly refused to leave, stubbornly waiting there, waiting for the woman who promised to register his marriage with him.

Hibiscus came home at half past six in the evening, and after a day of walking, her legs and feet were so weak that she couldn't walk when she went upstairs.

Fortunately, the floor was not high, and when she reached the door, she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to take out the key to open the door, and finally knocked on the door with her hand.

As soon as she knocked twice, the door was opened from the inside, and Shao Minzhi was obviously stunned when she saw her alone, and couldn't help asking, "Where is Shi Yan?" Didn't you marry him today? ”

Mu Hibiscus was stunned when he heard this, looked at his mother, and couldn't help asking: "Did he go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" ”

"Nonsense?!" Shao Minzhi glared at his daughter, his face was slightly unhappy and angry, and he couldn't help but scold his daughter and said: "Ah Jin, this time I didn't say you, Shi Yan has been waiting for you in the Civil Affairs Bureau for a day, and he called/called five minutes ago to ask if there is any news from you."

"I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to find him." Hibiscus quickly turned around, and hurriedly ran downstairs, not even bothering to enter the door.

Shao Minzhi saw that Mu Hibiscus ran downstairs again, and reacted for a moment, so she wanted to chase down, but her legs could barely walk, where could she catch up, so she could only shout at the staircase: "Ah Jin, you call him, maybe he has already left, and now the Civil Affairs Bureau has left work." ”

It's a pity that Hibiscus ran fast, and although her voice faintly reached Hibiscus's ears, Hibiscus didn't hear what she shouted clearly, just thinking that she was telling her to slow down or something.

Mu Hibiscus ran directly out of the community, fortunately, she was lucky, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the community, a taxi drove over, and someone was getting off, so she quickly stepped forward and pulled the car door and sat in.

"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau," she said immediately where she was going, without waiting for the taxi driver to ask her.

"Miss, the Civil Affairs Bureau has already left work," the taxi driver pointed to the time on his car, "It's half past six, and I can't do anything to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau at this time." ”

"I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau," she said again, and she didn't have the mood or energy to give taxi drivers a reason about what they could do when they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau after work.

The taxi driver didn't say anything anymore, and quickly drove towards the Civil Affairs Bureau, because it was raining and because it was rush hour, his car couldn't get up fast if he wanted to.

It was obviously less than 20 minutes by car, but because of some small jams on the road, by the time his car drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was already 50 minutes later, almost half past seven.

Mu Hibiscus hurriedly handed the taxi driver a hundred yuan, and got out of the car without even waiting for him to make change, and then quickly ran towards the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The street lights were dim, and in the large open space at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, there was a man with an umbrella in his hand, and he was standing there, staring at the door without blinking.

Her nose was sore, the warm liquid poured into her eyes, and she held the white umbrella in her hand, and walked towards him slowly, step by step, but extremely firmly.

Shi Yan saw her the moment she walked into the door, but he was standing there, he didn't run to her, he was waiting for her here, he had to wait for her here, and when she came over and walked to him

At last, she walked up to him,

Finally, she stood face to face with him,

Finally, she asked softly, "Why are you still here?" ”

"Because, I'm going to wait for you!" He looked at her, his dark eyes as clear as a mirror in the rain curtain.

The warm liquid in her eyes finally came out, and she took the initiative to reach over and grab his wrist: "Let's go, let's go home!" ”

"We're not married yet," he stubbornly looked at the closed Civil Affairs Bureau like a child, and shouted with a little annoyance, "I want to marry you." ”

She finally laughed, tears still hanging down her cheeks, but she was amused by his childish words.

"Let's go, I can only get married another day, go home today." She took his hand and coaxed him, like coaxing an awkward child.

"But you said you were going to marry me today," he stubbornly stood there and refused to leave, looked at her, and said stubbornly: "I must marry you today." ”

"Okay, then we'll get married," she finally agreed to him, and then said softly, "Stone, even if we get married, we have to go home and get married, right?" Could it be that we are standing in this open-air dam? ”

"Which home are you going back to?" He asked relentlessly, but followed her towards his car.

"How many homes do you have?" She gave him a blank look, "Aren't we getting married today?" Could it be that you won't take me home? ”

He finally stopped losing his temper, even if she was missing for a day today, but this was not a place for quarrels, not to mention that she agreed to marry him, and in the end, he still took out the car keys and pressed the lock.

Mu Hibiscus sat quietly in the passenger seat, letting him drive, at 7:30 p.m., there were still some small jams on the road, but it was much better than when she took a taxi just now, not to mention that the Civil Affairs Bureau was not far from his family's Qunxing Square.

"Stone, where are we going to eat?"

"Go home, what's going to eat?" Someone replied angrily, without even turning his face sideways, just driving without squinting.

“”

Well, she doesn't care about angry men, not to mention that she is indeed wrong today, and he has the right to be angry.

The two of them were silent all the way, and Hibiscus wanted to speak several times, but it can be seen that he had a gloomy face, and he had no intention of talking to her at all, and finally stopped talking.

The car drove all the way downstairs to Qunxing Plaza, and he got out of the car and threw the house key to her: "You go upstairs first, I'll come up when I buy something." ”

"Oh," she took the car keys and walked straight to the elevator, as for what he was going to buy, she didn't ask, for fear that she would talk too much and make him unhappy if she asked.

Hibiscus went upstairs, opened the door with the key, and walked in, the home was still the same as before, nothing had changed, the only thing that had changed was the pot of good luck in the living room, which seemed to be much higher than four years ago.

As soon as she put down her bag and went to the bathroom in the master bedroom to go to the toilet, the doorbell rang, and when she walked over and opened the door, Shi Yan walked in with a basket of eggs.

"Hey, what are you buying so many eggs for?" Hibiscus stared at the bamboo basket in his hand, although the basket was not big, but it should be one or two catties, right?

"Eat," he replied naturally, looking up at her, "Isn't it possible that you're not hungry?" ”

"Hungry," Hibiscus replied, staring at the basket of eggs, "but can you eat enough eggs?" ”

He gave her a blank look, and instead of answering her question, he asked her, "Ah Mu, are we getting married today?" ”

"Yes," Hibiscus replied naturally and crisply, looking up at him.

His face, which was originally angry because of anger, finally eased a little, and quickly took the basket of eggs and walked towards the kitchen, he was really hungry, and he didn't know if the woman was hungry.

"Hey, you're boiling so many eggs?" Mu Hibiscus walked into the kitchen, looked at the white and white poached eggs in the pot, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Shi Yan, are we only going to eat eggs tonight?" ”

"Isn't it good to eat eggs?" He glanced at her sideways, and pointed to the bottle of mash next to him: "Open the lid and put it in the bowl, the mash egg is the sweetest, when I was a child, in winter, my mother liked to cook it for me the most." ”

"Oh, no wonder," Hibiscus reacted, quickly unscrewing the lid and dividing the mash into two bowls.

Shi Yan's technique of boiling poached eggs is excellent, each poached egg does not fall apart, and the egg yolk in the middle looks red and pink because of the egg white wrapping on the outside, and the egg white is like a lotus leaf, tumbling in the transparent pot of boiling water.

Hibiscus is the first time to eat such a poached egg, perhaps because of the addition of mash, it tastes a little winey, but the brown sugar added to it looks extra sweet, and it only feels warm in the stomach.

On the first night of marriage, the two of them ate a bowl of mashed eggs, Shi Yan may indeed be hungry, and actually ate eight, and hibiscus also ate four.

Mu Hibiscus drank the brown sugar mash soup in the bowl, looked at Shi Yan, who was eating poached eggs, and said with a smile: "The two of us eat so many eggs, maybe we will become stupid tomorrow?" ”

Shi Yan glanced at her, took a sip of mash soup and said casually, "Do you think the two of us are not stupid enough now?" ”

"Well, it seems that he waited at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau for a day today, and his stupid behavior is indeed stupid.

And what about her, she went to him after work at the Civil Affairs Bureau, but she came here with him to marry him, her behavior was stupid? Or smart?
