Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 41
Yu Zhao slept for half a day and woke up to find Qu Jing by his side.
Qu Jing’s breathing was soft and prolonged, like the morning breeze, but warmer.
They were married.
—Yu Zhao finally remembered this fact.
Yu Zhao found himself getting a bit excited, the overwhelming joy becoming more apparent.
At first, he was a bit confused, his brain hadn’t fully processed the information that “we are married.” He appeared calm, but in reality, he was just slow. Now, waking up and finding Qu Jing by his side, he finally came to his senses, and his heart started pounding.
He covered his chest, feeling a strong flutter in his palm.
Qu Jing, still half-asleep, lazily reached out, pulled Yu Zhao into his arms, kissed him, and went back to sleep.
Yu Zhao suddenly felt sweetness in his heart.
Feeling a bit flustered, he broke free from Qu Jing’s embrace. This movement fully woke up Qu Jing. He rubbed his eyes, slowly opened them, and said, “Good morning.”
Yu Zhao quickly put on a smile, “Good morning.”
Qu Jing leisurely got out of bed and said, “Are we taking a plane back today?”
“Yes.” Yu Zhao also got up, following Qu Jing to the bathroom, “But there’s no rush.”
Qu Jing washed his face and said, “Why no rush? Don’t we need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau before they close to get our marriage certificate first?”
Marriages performed in Las Vegas chapels were not recognized by Chinese law. They needed to get the certificate once they were back.
Yu Zhao was surprised, “Don’t we discuss this with our parents first?”
“Did we discuss it with our parents when we got married here?” Qu Jing picked up a razor, raised his chin slightly, and began trimming his stubble bit by bit, sounding indifferent, “Let’s get it first. So that Mr. Duan Keyi won’t come up with any tricks again.”
“Right.” Yu Zhao nodded, then said, “I’m sorry for causing trouble with my family.”
Qu Jing smiled, “I am your family.”
—
On the plane back to China, Qu Jing asked the flight attendant for champagne. She brought two glasses of pale golden champagne, smiling and saying, “Enjoy.”
Qu Jing smiled and said, “We just got married.”
The flight attendant was a bit surprised, then smiled, “Congratulations to both of you.”
“Yes.” Qu Jing said, “This is something worth celebrating with champagne.”
Seeing Qu Jing so enthusiastic, the flight attendant also smiled and glanced at his newlywed partner. Qu Jing, who always announced his marriage to everyone he met, made the reserved Yu Zhao a bit embarrassed. However, out of politeness, Yu Zhao nodded and smiled at the flight attendant.
The flight attendant, looking at Yu Zhao’s smile, said to Qu Jing, “Your husband is very handsome!”
“Thank you. He definitely is.” Qu Jing said as he turned to kiss Yu Zhao whose face was now as red as a tomato.
Watching this scene, Tang Ke didn’t want to say anything, he closed the door of the small compartment, and lay down to sleep.
After more than ten hours of flying, the three of them got off the plane. Qu Jing opened his phone and called his dad, “Dad! I got married! Come to the Civil Affairs Bureau now!” After that, he hung up.
Yu Zhao looked up at Qu Jing, “You told them already?”
“That’s necessary!” Qu Jing said, “My household register is still with them!”
“Yes, I see…”
Qu Jing blinked and asked, “By the way, did you bring your household register?”
Yu Zhao said, “Yes, I did…”
Qu Jing was delighted at this, saying, “You flew to the United States with your household register. I guess you really wanted to marry me, huh?”
“…Actually…” Yu Zhao took out his document bag from his luggage, which contained some important documents, including the household register, “I always carry these with me, including the household register.”
Yu Zhao continued, “My household register used to be with my dad. After he passed away, I became the head of the household.”
After Ying Nong’s death, Yu Zhao was brought back to the Yu family. But Duan Keyi never let Yu Zhao transfer his household registration. At first, Yu Hai wanted Duan Keyi to handle it, but Duan Keyi kept delaying it. Later, no one mentioned it. Yu Zhao thought it was good to be the head of his own household and had no objections.
Hearing this, Qu Jing felt sentimental, hugged Yu Zhao, and said, “Tomorrow, let’s transfer your registration to our family?”
Yu Zhao wanted to say “there’s no need.”
But seeing Qu Jing so excited, Yu Zhao could only nod in agreement.
Under Qu Jing’s urging, Tang Ke drove quickly to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
They arrived at the entrance and saw Jiang Huixi and Qu Dad standing there. Qu Jing’s dad was angry when he saw them and scolded, “You two are simply making trouble! How can you—”
Jiang Huixi pinched his back and laughed, “Your dad is just too happy.”
Seeing the two elders, Yu Zhao quickly put on a smile, “Uncle, Aunt…”
Jiang Huixi smiled, “We’re all family now, no need to be so formal!”
So, Jiang Huixi and Qu Jing’s dad took the two inside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Jiang Huixi asked again, “Do you want to call your family to witness this?”
Yu Zhao thought about it and felt it was necessary, so he called Duan Keyi and Yu Hai. Duan Keyi’s phone was answered by one of the maids, “Hello? Mr. Zhao, Mr Duan Keyi went out and left his phone. Is there something I can help you with?”
“Nothing.” Yu Zhao thought about it and replied.
Then, he called Yu Hai, and Xia Tao answered the phone, saying that Yu Hai was taking a shower. Yu Zhao didn’t want to bother Yu Hai, so he hung up.
He stood alone in the corner, looked at the darkened phone screen, then turned his head and saw Jiang Huixi and Qu Jing’s dad talking to Qu Jing. They were scolding him for being reckless and impulsive, saying that he got married without discussing it earlier, full of complaints but with caring and affectionate looks in their eyes.
Yu Zhao felt a bit lonely silently but suddenly thought of someone.
He dialed a phone number, “Hey, Hua Yao?”
“What’s up?” Hua Yao always answered Yu Zhao’s calls very promptly, never experiencing the kind of situation where he couldn’t reach him, like Yu Hai.
According to Hua Yao, Yu Zhao wasn’t the kind of idle person who called people for a chat. If he called, there must be something. That’s why Hua Yao would answer his calls promptly.
As Hua Yao would put it: “Even if I’m lying under Takeshi Kaneshiro’s P, I would still be willing to answer your call!”
“Maybe Takeshi Kaneshiro wouldn’t be willing.” Yu Zhao replied at that time.
Now, Yu Zhao made the call to Hua Yao, just saying, “Are you free now? I’m at the Civil Affairs Bureau, getting married.”
“!” Hua Yao was shocked, “Is it true or not?”
“It’s true.”
“Okay, I’m coming.” Hua Yao said, “But are Yu Hai and Duan Keyi there? I’m not willing to see those two.”
Yu Zhao jokingly said, “They are not here! Otherwise, how could I call you to be a witness?”
“True.” Hua Yao said, “Did Qu Jing bring people with him?”
“His parents.” Yu Zhao said.
“Okay.” Hua Yao said, “I’ll be there soon!”
Thirty minutes later, Hua Yao brought a wedding band, surrounded by a team of wedding musicians. They played the erhu and suona, and the whole scene was lively.
