Chapter 362 Marriage registration, Maki’s great victory!
In the end, Ayano Yui was unable to take away the Christmas reindeer clothes, but Ezaki Suguha promised her that she would send her a set later.
Before leaving, Ayano Yui kept looking at Sawayama Haruno with malicious eyes, and it was easy to guess what he was planning without her saying anything.
Although Sawayama Haruno felt a little helpless, he didn't say anything in the end.
After sending Ayano Yui back to the house next door, he discussed with Esaki Suguha the specific time and matters for her return to the Esaki family. After confirming that the other party did not need his care, Sawayama Haruno no longer interfered too much.
After saying good night to each other, the two returned to their respective rooms to rest. Miyazawa Maki also took a shower early and fell asleep in bed.
Looking at his girlfriend's cute sleeping face, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but poke her, but what he got was a frown and dissatisfied hum from her, as if she was complaining that Sawayama Haruno interrupted her sleep.
"This guy"
Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but smile. After turning off the lights in the room, he also crawled into bed.
Maki Miyazawa, who could lean over subconsciously without being awake, immediately found a comfortable angle in his arms. After rubbing against him twice with her eyes closed, the two of them soon fell asleep in each other's arms.
The snowflakes falling outside have stopped, and Tokyo is about to usher in the final end of the year in the cold winter. As if it is an annual tradition, when it comes to the last few dozen days of the year, people will have a sense of leisure.
Students don’t have to go to classes, and workers no longer have to take extra business trips. Everyone is lazily waiting for the arrival of the new year.
The members of the Sawayama family are naturally no exception. Ayano Yui doesn't have to deal with academic problems for the time being, so she goes back and forth between Haruno's house and her own home every day. Maki has also quit her job at the video game store a long time ago, but she still contacts her former colleagues from time to time.
Although Suguha Ezaki has to face the problem of exams, she is very confident in herself. Driving is not a difficult task for her. The only thing she can't solve is the learning aspect.
After returning from Osaka, Sawayama Haruno also had a private meal with Miyazawa Mana and Mine Shiori.
Their situations are pretty much the same as the other three. Miyazawa Mana is still looking for an opportunity to explain to her parents why she moved out, while Mine Shiori has finished all the extra work on hand and is patiently waiting for the annual meeting next week.
If you must say, apart from the annual meeting and the things after the annual meeting, Zeshan Haruno has nothing else to do. Every day he just stays at home to continue writing books, and from time to time he asks about the progress of purchasing furniture for the new house.
Of course, he had another very important thing to do before leaving, and time passed quickly until the day to register arrived.
Miyazawa Maki got up early for the first time ever and was standing in front of a full-length mirror, nervously sorting out her clothes. Ayano Yui was standing next to her, chewing an apple from time to time, looking a little bored.
It's not her fault. After all, considering that Maki is going to register her marriage with Haruno soon, it would be a miracle for her to be happy. The reason why she appeared here was because Ezaki Suguha went out to the driving school, and she was forcibly pulled over by the nervous Maki.
"Xiao Wei, how about this scarf?"
In front of the mirror, Miyazawa Maki was busy adjusting the scarf on her coat, as if she took what was going to happen next very seriously.
However, her question was destined not to receive a very thoughtful answer. Ayano Yui said perfunctorily: "Ah, I think it's okay. It's not too cold today, is it?"
"It's not very cold, but it will look better if you put it on, right?"
Miyazawa Maki took a deep breath and then muttered in a low voice: "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, but when this day finally came, my heart beat so fast."
If you really can't stand this kind of stimulation, I can do it for you, Ayano Yui complained helplessly in her heart.
I dream of becoming a formal couple with Sawayama Haruno, but Miyazawa Maki is still very worried. What is there to worry about? The other party can't be the type who is afraid of marriage. That shouldn't be the case. Looking at Miyazawa Maki's previous performance, she seemed very excited.
"I don't think there's any need to be so nervous. It's not a wedding after all."
Ayano Yui took a bite of the apple and added, "Marriage registration is probably just about handing in the form and getting a stamp to acknowledge the fact that you two are married, that's all, right? And there won't be anyone watching you two all the time, so there's no need to be nervous."
"Yeah."
After listening to what Ayano Yui said, Miyazawa Maki thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.
So she hypnotized herself silently in her mind, quickly tied her scarf into a loose knot, then took two steps back to observe her clothes. After making sure there was nothing wrong, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay then, I'll be out then."
"uh-huh."
Ayano Yui shrugged without denying it, followed the other party out, and saw Sawayama Haruno who had been waiting for a long time in the living room.
Today, the other party was dressed more formally for the first time. In the past, it was rare to see Sawayama Haruno dressed in formal clothes except for work.
Today, not only did he wear a more formal suit inside, he even put on a more mature-looking woolen windbreaker outside. Standing next to Miyazawa Maki, they were a match made in heaven. Ayano Yui was instantly unhappy.
Damn it, I must make Haruno wear this outfit once next time, she muttered to herself.
"How about it?"
When Sawayama Haruno saw the two of them finally come out of the room, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can we go now? You've been waiting for a long time, right?" He looked at Miyazawa Maki's outfit and smiled, "Why are you still wearing a scarf? Is it not as cold today as the past few days?"
"I can't wear them if I want to, but why don't you wear your glasses?"
Miyazawa Maki rolled her eyes, but her tone was so soft that it made people want to hold her in their arms and rub her hard a few times.
She seemed to be very obsessed with the question of whether Sawayama Haruno wore glasses, and it all started with the gift that Ezaki Suguha had given to him before. Sawayama Haruno, who had never worn glasses before, made Miyazawa Maki's heart beat faster when he occasionally changed his style.
However, today, Sawayama Haruno obviously wanted to register in the same way as before, so Miyazawa Maki just acted coquettishly for a few words and then stopped bothering her. Instead, she mentioned another thing that concerned her.
"Wait a minute, there's something else I need you to put on for me."
After that, Miyazawa Maki took out an exquisite jewelry box from her pocket. Sawayama Haruno was naturally familiar with the appearance of the box, and recognized it at a glance as the gift he had given to the other party. After a slight pause, he quickly reacted.
"give it to me."
"Um"
Miyazawa Maki blushed and handed the jewelry box to the other party.
And Sawayama Haruno also cooperated by kneeling on one knee. After taking out the ring, he gently pulled Miyazawa Maki's hand.
The scene before her once again made Ayano Yui feel internally hurt. If she had known that she would be fed so much dog food, she would never have come here even if she was beaten to death.
Ayano Yui even began to suspect that Suguha Ezaki had guessed these things, so she made an excuse to go to the driving school, just to avoid the scene in front of her that would cause her to suffer real critical damage?
The answer is obviously unknown, but Ayano Yui's heart is really filled with displeasure. Unfortunately, she can't put on an unhappy expression, so she can only watch the scene of Haruno putting the ring on Maki with a forced smile.
Tired, destroy it
These two people should get out of here quickly, whether they are going to register their marriage or do something else. In short, don't let yourself be a watcher. What's the point if you can't participate!
After a burst of complaints in their hearts, Sawayama Haruno had already put the ring on Maki's hand. The two seemed to notice Ayano Yui's resentful expression, and after looking at each other, they both smiled knowingly.
"Then we'll be going out. We won't be back at noon. You can order takeout for yourself."
"Oh, I know."
Ayano Yui was a little depressed, but still sent them to the door.
Sawayama Haruno gave her a few more instructions before setting off with Maki.
The weather today is exceptionally sunny, and it is considered one of the warmest days in December. It was only after checking the weather forecast in advance that Sawayama Haruno decided to take Maki to register their marriage today.
Naturally, they would have to eat out at noon. He had already made a reservation in advance at a very famous French restaurant in Tokyo, and in the evening he planned to take her back to Miyazawa's house to eat.
The plan was all arranged. Miyazawa Maki couldn't help but lean over as she walked down the street and asked coquettishly, "How are the wedding photos you mentioned earlier?"
"I've already told them that I can start filming when I return from Canada."
Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other person. When he found that Miyazawa Maki was hugging his arm with a silly smile on her face, he couldn't help but reveal a doting expression.
"We haven't picked a location yet. Is there any place you'd like to go to take photos? I'll see if I can take some photos."
"You can ask other people. I can do it."
Maki Miyazawa shook her head slightly. She was not very interested in the location of the photo shoot, as long as she could take the photo. What she cared most about was what the wedding dress would look like.
Because Morikawa Riho hasn't contacted the agency yet, the few of them haven't been able to choose their favorite wedding dresses yet. Miyazawa Maki has been idle these days and has been searching for related pictures on the Internet, and she can't wait any longer.
Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno promised her that he would help to urge it later, and he was about to go on a business trip abroad, so even if Miyazawa Maki was anxious, there was nothing she could do and she could only be patient and wait for the time to come.
She pulled Sawayama Haruno's hand and tried to speed up. The district office was not far from their apartment and it would take about ten minutes to walk there.
Perhaps due to the island nation's declining national economy and the low birth rate crisis, most companies in this country refuse to allow women with families to work in the company, so the number of both men and women willing to get married is decreasing.
After they arrived at the marriage registration office at the local district office, they found that there were not as many people here as they had imagined. Apart from them, there were only two other couples.
The venue is also relatively small. It is more like a separate small room behind the district office than a district office. There is only one window and several rows of small seats for rest. If you want to complete the marriage registration, you can only queue up in front of the simple small window.
Fortunately, there were not many people. After Sawayama Haruno pulled the nervous Miyazawa Maki to wait for a while, they soon saw that the two couples in front had completed the registration. When they left, they even had a potted plant in their hands, which seemed to have the beautiful meaning of blessing the newlyweds. This made Miyazawa Maki couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
When it was her turn to step forward, the girl subconsciously clenched Sawayama Haruno's palm, seeming a little uneasy.
In fact, Sawayama Haruno also has some of these symptoms. After all, this is the first time he gets married in two lives. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous. Even if he is not at the wedding ceremony, he still has a feeling of facing a major event in his life.
Fortunately, he was calmer than Miyazawa Maki. After taking out the marriage certificate, he politely greeted the staff inside, and then handed all the information in through the small window.
"Sawayama Haruno, Mr. Sawayama, right?"
"And Ms. Maki Sawayama next to you."
"Okay, no problem. I'll stamp your registration now."
The staff member casually glanced at the contents of the marriage certificate, and after confirming that everyone had their signatures and seals, he happily helped complete the registration approval.
As the red seal fell on the marriage ceremony, a potted plant that was the same as the one taken away by the two couples just now was also sent out by the other party, along with the packed information, and was politely delivered to Zeshan Haruno's hands.
"It's done, congratulations to both of you."
"Thank you."
Sawayama Haruno quickly took the information and after checking it again, he held the potted plant and chatted and laughed with the staff who came to congratulate him.
It was not as complicated as she had imagined, and Maki Miyazawa's body slowly relaxed.
It would be better to say that what was happening before my eyes was so fast that it was unbelievable, and so bland that it seemed as if the other party had simply glanced at it and approved the application as a routine matter. It's not that I think there is anything wrong with the other party's straightforward attitude, but the fact that such a major event in life was resolved so lightly still gave me a dream-like feeling.
Maki Miyazawa looked at the profile of her sweetheart, and the way he smiled and thanked the staff, and suddenly she had the urge to kiss him.
Forget it, let's just keep it plain. Too many stories have happened between Haruno and I, so this last little bit doesn't matter.
Now, she just wants to throw herself into the other person's arms and act coquettishly.
