Just then, the vehicle, which had been driving smoothly, suddenly jolted.
Xia Zhiyi kissed Fu Chi's hand directly.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Okay, it doesn't matter anyway, he likes Fu Chi's hands quite a bit.
However, the road conditions here are indeed not very good.
As Xia Zhiyi stood up, she kissed Fu Chi on the lips again and said with a smile, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Fu Chi gripped his hand tightly and gave a low hum.

Xia Zhiyi's twenty-second birthday celebration was not a grand affair. Fu Chi prepared meticulously, but only invited a few close friends and family members.
Xia Zhiyi's side included Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhen, who had already taken the college entrance examination. In addition, she also invited Wang Chengran, Xue Ranran, Zhao Ziwang, and several of Xia Zhiyi's formally accepted apprentices.
The birthday banquet was held at the Fu family. Fu Chi and Fu Yunyi also invited people they were on good terms with to the banquet, all of whom knew Xia Zhiyi.
The banquet was a lively affair. It Wang Chengran had last met Xue Ranran, so naturally they had to chat since they bumped into each other here.
Xue Ranran asked Wang Chengran, "Hey, when I received the invitation, I thought it was because Teacher Xia was turning twenty-four. After all, he never specially invited me to his birthday before. I thought this birthday was special."
Wang Chengran holding a birthday cake, eating it while listening to Xue Ranran talk about the gossip she had heard recently. Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly turned to this matter. He paused, swallowed what was in his mouth, and said, "Why isn't twenty-two years old special?"
Xue Ranran asked in confusion, "What's so special about being twenty-two?"
It's not like turning eighteen is an adult, nor is it like turning twenty-four and completing two cycles of the twelve zodiac animals. Most people wouldn't think there's anything special about turning twenty-two, right?
Wang Chengran glanced at Xue Ranran, chuckled, and then said, "So, you're definitely still single."
Xue Ranran was even more confused—what did this have to do with her being single?
Seeing that Xue Ranran hadn't reacted yet, Wang Chengran, nudged her with his elbow, and whispered, "Legal marriage."
If you still don't understand after all this warning, then it's no wonder he didn't warn you.
Xue Ranran was stunned for a moment, then took out her phone and searched online. After a while, she stared blankly at Wang Chengran: "Really?"
Wang Chengran: "I didn't expect it at first, but I received some news a while ago that when Teacher Xia was recording a talent show, President Fu proposed to her."
Xue Ranran exclaimed in surprise, "Really? How come I didn't know about this?"
Wang Chengran was startled by her suddenly raised voice. He quickly looked around, only to find it was too late; many people had already noticed them.
That wasn't all. Wang Chengran heard a laughing voice behind them, "It's fake. I proposed first."
Wang Chengran & Xue Ranran:!!!
This is terrifying! It's so scary!
Xia Zhiyi was also a little helpless. He just saw the two of them standing there and thought he would come over to say hello, but he didn't expect to get caught up in a scandal as soon as he got closer, and it was about him.
It's still wrong.
Xia Zhiyi smiled at Wang Chengran, "Your news must be about someone you know from that show, right? But there's something wrong with your information. I was the one who proposed to Fu Chi that day, don't get it backwards."
Before Wang Chengran could speak, Xue Ranran couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed Xia Zhiyi's sleeve and blurted out, "You proposed? You really proposed? How come you were the one who proposed? What was President Fu's reaction?"
As she spoke, Xue Ranran caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Looking down, she saw the silver ring on Xia Zhiyi's hand and blinked, "This ring..."
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "It's the ring I wore when I proposed. I put it on Achi's finger myself."
Xue Ranran: Wow!
On one hand, she felt that it would be more reasonable for Fu Chi to take the initiative in this matter, but on the other hand, she felt that it was indeed Xia Zhiyi who did this.
Wang Chengran had almost choked on the cake, but now that he had recovered, seeing that Xia Zhiyi wasn't shy about it, he asked curiously, "Did you invite us here today to announce your marriage?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and nodded, "Yes, we'll go get our marriage certificate this afternoon."
Wang Chengran & Xue Ranran: "So fast!?"
Xia Zhiyi helplessly, "It's not fast. I've been with A-Chi for several years now."
If he hadn't been under the legal age, the two of them would have gotten their marriage certificate long ago.
They've done everything they should, and they get along harmoniously both in and out of bed. Their occasional minor arguments are mostly just for fun, and now all that's missing is a marriage certificate.
Xue Ranran was a little excited, yet felt it was only right, but also felt it should be even grander, since Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi were not Ordinary Person. Yet, at this moment, their wedding seemed rather ordinary.
Her expression turned somewhat strange, but she finally managed to stammer out, "Congratulations! May you have a long and happy marriage!"
Wang Chengran quickly offered his congratulations, and Xia Zhiyi smiled and replied, "We haven't set a date for the wedding banquet yet. Currently, Achi and I are thinking of holding it on Qixi Festival this year, and we'll send you invitations then."
"Come over for wedding candy then."
Wang & Xue: "Okay, okay!"
I will definitely go, no matter how busy I am, I will make time to attend!
Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi's marriage was a natural progression. Before registering their marriage, Fu Chi solemnly knelt down on one knee in front of relatives and friends at noon and proposed to Xia Zhiyi.
Although Xia Zhiyi somewhat surprised that Fu Chi had made such a preparation, she smiled and accepted his ring, thus accepting Fu Chi marriage proposal.
Both of them knew perfectly well that this was a one-time event for each of them, ensuring neither was left out.
News broke in the afternoon that Fu Chi and Xia Zhiyi had registered their marriage.
In the eyes of those in the know, Fu Chi's proposal at noon was just a small birthday surprise and nothing special.
But to those unaware of the situation, it looked like Fu Chi proposed at noon and had her hooked by the afternoon. A big shot is a big shot; even his marriage was incredibly efficient.
Regardless of which interpretation is correct, those who received the news immediately offered their congratulations and inquired about the wedding date.
At first, the news only spread within a small circle, but by evening, the news of their marriage had spread throughout the entire internet.
Director Min, who only received the message two days later due to work commitments, thought, "..."
Fortunately, he was filming a serious drama, so whether the actors are married or not doesn't matter.
If this were an idol drama, Xia Zhiyi's actions would ruin all the hard work they'd put in for months.
Although Director Min was a little caught off guard, he immediately sent a message to Xia Zhiyi to congratulate her after receiving the news. Firstly, the two had worked together smoothly over the past few months and had a good relationship, so it was only right to congratulate her.
Secondly, everyone now knows that Xia Zhiyi's husband is that powerful figure you can't afford to offend. Building a personal connection now might be a good opportunity to try your luck with Fu Chi sometime in the future, right?
Ultimately, the wedding was scheduled for Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day).
Xia Zhiyi had originally considered whether to set a special date for the two of them, such as the day they first met or the day they confirmed their relationship, which would have been quite nice.
However, Fu Chi seemed eager to declare his sovereignty to the world as soon as possible. He realized that Qixi Festival was the closest date, and adding another anniversary would make it easier for him to find an excuse to have a big meal later. In the end, he decided to hold the wedding on this trip.
The couple's wedding of the century was a hot topic online, and even half a month after the wedding, some people were still in a daze.
It wasn't because of the grandeur of the wedding, but rather... Xia Zhiyi got married so suddenly, without any intention of hiding the news.
Coincidentally, Xia Zhiyi's performance on the talent show earned him a lot of female and male fans. Just when everyone was in the "honeymoon phase," Xia Zhiyi suddenly brought them back to reality.
Your husband/wife/boyfriend?
No, this is owned!
Whether the boyfriend/girlfriend fans have had a mental breakdown is unknown, but the mother fans are definitely a bit overwhelmed—their son is getting married way too early!
Xia Zhiyi's fans were both laughing and crying. Soon after, not long after the couple's wedding, news broke that Xia Zhiyi would be appearing on a reality dating show with her new husband.
Fans:!!!
Fans: Great! Let's see what kind of man could make Teacher Xia get married so young!
