It was after the Spring Festival, and it was the first time the two of them embraced and fell asleep together.
When they were in the capital, Lin Xiao felt sorry for Li Grandma and would accompany her every night. Li Hao, worried that his grandfather couldn't bear such a heavy blow, stayed with him every evening.
"Did they come looking for you?" Li Hao asked affirmatively.
Lin Xiao casually recounted her experience cooperating with the investigation. "I really didn't know about the police report, and I was so worried that you might have been bribed."
"I was at fault that time; it was my first time, and I didn't consider your feelings," Li Hao said, feeling a bit guilty as he held her tighter.
"It was your first time too. You and Bai Xue didn't..." Lin Xiao looked up at him in his arms.
Li Hao hadn't expected her to mention Bai Xue. He fell silent, unsure how to explain without surprising Lin Xiao.
"When I met Bai Xue, she was just a child. By the time she grew up, I had gone abroad for a year. After I returned six months later, she was about to go abroad again. I thought about it then; Bai Xue would have been willing, but it never reached that level."
"Why didn't you explain back then?" Lin Xiao felt torn between happiness and grievance.
"You said I hesitated that day, and that's true. I couldn't argue against it. I felt too guilty towards her, and I didn't know what to do. What she told you was also true. But when I went to see you that day, I knew I only loved you."
Li Hao's heart ached as he heard her soft sobs.
"Xiao Xiao, my wife, I promise you—through spring winds, summer rains, autumn leaves, and winter snow, I will only be with you."
Li Hao wiped away Lin Xiao's tears with his thumb.
"But what about that money?" Lin Xiao didn't want to dwell on Bai Xue anymore; knowing that Li Hao had always only cared for her was already a pleasant surprise.
During his third year of graduate school, Li Hao started writing about the history of the Zhou Dynasty on forums. After more than a year of writing, he never expected it to become a hit. They approached him for publication, and he often stayed up late writing for another two years; little did he know it would be reprinted multiple times.
"How did you come up with the name Ma Tian? I thought it was your real name," Lin Xiao said. She had read that series of books—eight volumes filled with humor and wit.
"I used a pen name when typing; it just came out naturally. Who would have thought it would become famous?" Li Hao chuckled.
He wanted to share the story behind Li Boshan's feelings with Lin Xiao but hesitated; she knew too much already, and it wouldn't do her any good.
Both of them were exhausted and fell asleep in each other's arms.
"Let's go get our marriage certificate today," Lin Xiao said as she opened her eyes and spoke to Li Hao.
Li Hao fell silent; recent events made him hesitant about getting the certificate with her for now.
Lin Xiao never expected Li Hao to fall silent. Feeling a bit wronged, she asked, "Aren't you willing?"
Li Hao struggled to find the right words to explain the complicated situation he was facing. It was too complex to express in just a few sentences. "It's not that," he finally said, "I'm afraid you'll regret it."
Standing on her tiptoes, Lin Xiao wrapped her arms around him. "I won't regret it. Let's go today." She had thought it through; she was willing to be with him for the rest of her life. Lin Xiao also had her own plans for the journey ahead.
She wasn't sure what exactly had happened, but she felt a powerful undercurrent stirring within her—the death of Li Bo Mountain and Li Hao's investigation weighed heavily on her mind. She wanted to be the first person to inform his family.
As the two emerged from the civil affairs bureau, the sunlight was just right, and everything felt perfect.
"Are you happy?" Li Hao asked as he watched Lin Xiao smile brightly. In his heart, he felt it was all worth it. "Where should we go to celebrate?"
Lin Xiao decided that getting their marriage certificate would help ease the sadness lingering in Li Hao's heart. Although he didn't speak of it, she could sense it.
Li Hao seemed more distracted than usual when they talked; he often appeared lost in thought.
"Let's go tell Mom this good news," Lin Xiao suggested, feeling a bit shy as she called out for her mother.
"Is it today with Xu Gong? Are we running a bit late?" Li Hao glanced at the time.
"It's not my mom; it's your mom, Professor Sun," Lin Xiao replied, her face turning bright red.
