Chapter 34: 34 Welcoming a Close Girlfriend
"Holy moly! I said Han Xuewei comes from a good family too, seems like they're also loaded! A bona fide rich second generation, huh! You must have built up a ton of good karma in your last life to have married her!"
"Is that even a question? Our school's beauty would be anything less than amazing? Not only is her family well-off, but she's also stunning. All the good stuff falls into your lap!"
"Brother Lin! I want to learn from you! How can one marry such a goddess? To marry a beauty with both brains and bucks, that's what I call reaching the Peak of life!"
"Hahahaha, I think you should save your effort, Lin Yi's family conditions were already pretty good. Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, what can you, a total loser, even compare to him? Forget about those dreams... "
"Pffft, that's spot on, you've got nothing on Lin Yi."
When Lin Yi saw these guys, each one tirelessly brownnosing, he was instantly speechless!
Since when were these guys such experts in brownnosing?
He replied in the chat group with utter calm.
"I already told you guys before, we were definitely going to get married, did you all just not take it seriously? Now we are legally married, we've had the marriage certificate for months."
Lin Yi's words quickly caused a stir in the dormitory chat group!
"My God! Back then I thought you were just kidding, but you actually managed to win over our school beauty? Nice one!"
"Dude! Was everything you said the other day true? But we never saw any signs of you two dating at school! How on earth did you end up together out of the blue? You're saying you got the certificate in less than two months???"
"So, do you really have kids already like everyone's been rumoring? I've heard plenty of those whispers. And I've heard Han Xuewei's belly is already big, she's about to give birth, right?"
"Yeah! How come you've got a baby so quickly? The timing doesn't quite add up, dude. You better not have just taken over someone else's problem just because you fancied her looks... We men have got to have some dignity..."
???
Lin Yi responded with a string of question marks, not knowing how to handle this barrage of questions from his friends!
What is this 'taking over someone else's problem' nonsense?
He's not sick! Why would he take over anything?
He, Lin Yi, could proudly say he was a real man!
"Don't believe the nonsense people tell you. When I disclosed the news, Vivi was already pregnant. The child is indeed mine, so I thought it best to take responsibility quickly by marrying her. Us guys have to keep up appearances; I would never take over someone else's problem!"
The group fell silent for a moment, and everyone went quiet.
"Holy smokes! You've been making a fortune in silence, man! Silently scoring the school beauty like that... I would've never guessed!"
"Seriously impressive, I have to admit that! When are you coming back, so we can get together?"
"Yeah man, you're married now, and we're waiting to attend your wedding! When will it be?"
"Whatever you say, we have to celebrate for you! Waiting for your return to throw you a feast!"
Lin Yi helplessly said, "I also want to have the wedding as soon as possible! But now Vivi is about to give birth, pregnant with triplets no less, so it's not very convenient for her to travel. Don't worry though, we'll definitely make up for the wedding, and you guys have to be there!"
"Besides, when I have time I'll treat you guys to a big meal."
Lin Yi got along very harmoniously with his dormmates, and they had a great relationship, so he wanted to find the time to treat them.
After seeing Lin Yi's response, the three brothers in the dormitory finally understood the truth and stopped pressing the matter, waiting for Lin Yi to treat them to a feast.
Lin Yi took a long breath, set his phone aside, and finally settled down.
He turned his gaze toward his wife next to him and happened to catch Han Xuewei's expression, which seemed a bit odd.
He instinctively leaned in and asked, "Wife, what are you looking at?"
To his surprise, she picked up her phone with a flustered look and stammered, "Ah? Nothing, not looking at anything..."
Lin Yi immediately noticed her panicked demeanor and knew she must be hiding something.
"Do you have something on your mind, or is there some secret? Why hide it even from your husband?" Lin Yi smiled, intentionally moving closer to her and whispered.
"There's nothing... really, nothing at all..." Han Xuewei's eyes kept darting around, clearly showing her guilt.
But at that moment, Lin Yi's phone suddenly vibrated, bombarded with a barrage of messages!
Still looking at Han Xuewei with an adoring face, he comforted her, "Let me finish up what I'm doing, and then I'll see what big secret my treasure is hiding."
As soon as he said this, he opened the unread messages.
These numerous messages were also from the dormitory group chat, where a roommate had sent dozens of photos into the group.
After seeing the photos, his eyes lit up, and he started flipping through them one by one.
Every photo was of Lin Yi and Han Xuewei together.
There were everyday snapshots of the two at home and casual photos taken while out shopping. The photos even included the big diamond ring Lin Yi had bought and their couple outfits.
Each of these photos was sweeter than the last!
And it wasn't until the end that he realized his wife had posted all of these pictures on the campus's official confession wall!
It was practically an official announcement!
And the caption added, "Finally waited for you, my Mr. Lin! Please take good care of me for the rest of our lives!"
It truly was an official announcement.
Lin Yi had been planning in his heart to officially announce their marriage today, he had talked to his roommates for a while and then put it to the back of his mind!
Yet, he hadn't expected his wife to have the same idea and to have beat him to the punch with a confession wall post!
More importantly, their thoughts were exactly the same!
He excitedly showed his phone to Vivi beside him and quickly asked, "Wife... I'm your husband, and as a man, I should be the one to announce it first. But just now I got distracted, and you posted it first..."
However, Han Xuewei comforted him with a smile, "It's okay! I saw that many classmates were discussing this, and some people even confessed to me. I was just anxious to announce our relationship. We are legally married, after all; we should acknowledge it openly! Let everyone know that we deeply love each other!"
Seeing his wife so serious, Lin Yi's heart nearly melted, and he felt a pinch in his nose!
He really did marry a wonderful wife!
He suddenly thought of something and without a second thought, started typing a comment directly beneath Han Xuewei's announcement.
After carefully crafting his response, he left a message.
"To hold your hand and grow old together with you! May our love last forever!"
