My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 87: Your Fingertips Always Scratch the Palm of My Hand
Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Your Fingertips Always Scratch the Palm of My Hand
Who would’ve thought that too much tension would make it impossible for her to grasp it?
She watched, eyes wide, as the SIM card bounced out from her fingertips again.
Lu Youxi’s face reddened, and she couldn’t care less about other things at the moment, so she tried to pick it up again.
But just then, her fingertips brushed against Zhou Shuyan’s palm, sending a ticklish sensation from Zhou Shuyan’s palm up his neck.
It made Zhou Shuyan shiver involuntarily—a tickle like he had never felt before.
Zhou Shuyan’s palm couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
Right then, just as Lu Youxi was about to grab hold of the SIM card, she failed again because of the slight trembling of Zhou Shuyan’s palm.
Lu Youxi suspected Zhou Shuyan was doing it on purpose.
Unfortunately, before she could voice her accusation, she heard Zhou Shuyan’s husky voice next to her ear, "On purpose?"
"..." Lu Youxi retorted in an exasperated tone, "You’re the one doing it on purpose."
"Your fingertips keep scratching my palm—who can stand that?" Zhou Shuyan said, raising an eyebrow.
Lu Youxi: "..."
He made her so embarrassed she didn’t dare to look at him!
He spoke as if she was doing it on purpose!
"Hey, young love is just so sweet, haha!" A lady sitting across the aisle leaned over and chimed in with a laugh, "I’ve been listening to you two for a while now, so sweet. Unlike me and my husband, we can’t stand the sight of each other every day."
Lu Youxi: "..."
Zhou Shuyan, rarely embarrassed by the elder lady’s comment, turned a slight shade of red and felt too embarrassed to tease Lu Youxi any further.
He was afraid if he teased her again, Lu Youxi might turn her back on him.
Zhou Shuyan took the SIM card back into his palm and reached for Lu Youxi’s phone, "Let me do it for you."
Lu Youxi didn’t object; it was the easiest way, after all. Why hadn’t she thought of that just now?
Her intelligence seemed to have taken leave just a moment ago.
After Zhou Shuyan had installed Lu Youxi’s SIM card and powered up the phone, he handed it back to her.
She then swiftly installed various apps.
Zhou Shuyan: "..."
He didn’t quite believe she had never used a phone before.
"Are they all installed?" Zhou Shuyan asked as Lu Youxi stopped her actions.
"They’re all downloaded, just waiting to install," Lu Youxi said, back to her normal self.
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang.
She hadn’t had the chance to set the ringtone, so it was still the default, which caught Lu Youxi a bit off guard.
Seeing an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, Lu Youxi turned to look at Zhou Shuyan.
She saw Zhou Shuyan casually ending the call, saying to her, "That’s my number. Remember it."
Then Zhou Shuyan saw a look of "We’re actually going to contact each other after this?" on Lu Youxi’s face.
Zhou Shuyan’s face darkened with irritation, but he laughed and said, "You don’t plan to go get a divorce certificate with me?"
The elder lady next to them was taken aback.
Watching the young couple being sweet, and now they’re talking about divorce?
Young people these days sure know how to play.
She couldn’t understand what they were thinking at all.
"Of course, we have to get it done," Lu Youxi certainly didn’t want Zhou Shuyan to think she wanted to take advantage of his household registration book and not leave, "I planned for us to go get it as soon as we arrived in the Imperial Capital today."
Zhou Shuyan: "..."
This guy really couldn’t wait.
"We get there, and then to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but they will have finished work," Zhou Shuyan said, "Traffic in the Imperial Capital is terrible."
Lu Youxi realized that she had forgotten about that.
"Then I need to remember your number," she said, at the same time, saving the number and labeling it with Zhou Shuyan’s name.
"However, I need to sort out my affairs first," Zhou Shuyan relaxed his furrowed brow, "My situation is rather urgent."
Zhou Shuyan paused, then said, "When I’m done with my things here, we’ll go take care of the paperwork, okay?"
"Of course, no problem, whenever you’re free," Lu Youxi immediately nodded, "Don’t let it delay your plans." novelbuddy.cσ๓
If it wasn’t for her and Grandma Xu saving Zhou Shuyan, who was badly wounded and lying on the side of the road in Hexing Village, he might have died before help arrived.
The extent of his injuries showed how urgent and complicated Zhou Shuyan’s situation was.
Lu Youxi totally understood that Zhou Shuyan needed to deal with his own issues first before they could take care of smaller matters.
To Lu Youxi, who considered herself a businesswoman, getting a divorce really was a small matter.
The elder lady beside them was becoming increasingly puzzled by the young people’s antics.
Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan arrived in the Imperial Capital a little after three in the afternoon.
The hustle and bustle of the train station was especially lively and noisy, even somewhat crowded.
For Lu Youxi, it was a long-lost experience.
In her previous life, the first time she came to the Imperial Capital to study, she had also taken several transfers and finally arrived by train, just like today.
She still remembered standing in the train station of the Imperial Capital when she first arrived, overwhelmed by its bustling activity, even feeling a bit lost.
Alone in the surging crowd of the hall, she saw a level of liveliness and prosperity she had never experienced before.
People around her moved swiftly with a clear purpose, while she was unsure where to go.
Eventually, after asking a staff member, she found the subway entrance inside the train station.
Then she figured out how to buy a ticket and where she needed to go.
While passing through the turnstile, she nervously mimicked others’ actions.
Everything was new and sophisticated to her.
Afterward, when she married Lin Jingshen, Lin’s looked down on her and did not allow her to travel by train.
Even when she later joined Lin’s to work and had to travel, she was made to fly.
The reasoning from Lin’s was that she was their daughter-in-law; being seen on a train would make people think Lin’s treated her poorly.
Lin’s might disdain her at home, but outside they insisted on keeping up appearances.
So in her previous life, she didn’t get to travel by train for a very long time until her death.
For Lu Youxi, this time truly felt like another life.
Lu Youxi zoned out for a while.
Zhou Shuyan thought Lu Youxi was astonished because she had never been to the Imperial Capital or seen such a large train station, so he didn’t rush her or speak, to avoid making her feel embarrassed.
He just quietly waited by her side.
Lu Youxi snapped back to reality, turned to Zhou Shuyan and said, "So... shall we part ways here?"
Gosh, Zhou Shuyan was again caught off guard by her words and couldn’t help but scoff, "Are you planning to go your own way as soon as we leave the station?"
This woman was really unusually decisive and cold-hearted.
Their cooperation was truly thorough.
No sooner had they left the station than she was ready to go their separate ways.
"Don’t you have urgent matters to attend to?" Lu Youxi didn’t understand why Zhou Shuyan scoffed at her, "I thought that since you’ve been stuck in Hexing Village for such a long time and finally made it back, you’d want to rush off and deal with your matters here."
