Reading the mind of the pure and lustful wife, the abstinent officer blushed

What status?

Su Lingyu thought about this and quickly understood.

Although the 1980s was a time of reform and opening up and the economy began to develop rapidly, people's thinking was still somewhat conservative to a certain extent.

If Gu Yanying were to stay at someone else's house alone, it would be fine, but if she were to be brought along, the host family would definitely have to be given an explanation.

Su Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "How about you say I'm your distant cousin?"

"Of course, we can, but my mentor's family only has one vacant house, and we...will probably have to live in the same room. Do you think it's appropriate for us to be distant cousins?"

Su Lingyu thought about it again and shook her head.

"Then what kind of relationship do you think is most suitable?" Gu Yanying coaxed.

Su Lingyu blurted out without thinking: "Of course they are husband and wife."

"Okay." Gu Yanying nodded obediently, "That's it."

Su Lingyu: “……???!!!”

Why is it like this?

"Wait!" She said quickly, "If we declare to the public that we are husband and wife, then...it will be difficult to explain it clearly in the future, right? If someone asks us when we got the marriage certificate and wants to see our marriage certificate, do we really have to go get one?"

Gu Yanying looked at her in surprise: "Didn't you say before that we can tell others that we are an engaged couple? If someone else gossips, we can just go ahead and register for marriage?"

Su Lingyu: “……???!!!”

Yes.

She did say that, but...

Gu Yanying spoke in a gentle voice: "Of course, if you are joking, then I take back what I said. I will find another house and move out of here with you as soon as possible."

Su Lingyu thought it was okay and was about to nod when his voice rang out again.

"Actually..." Gu Yanying smiled and said with a sense of relief, "Although my mentor's family is well-off and has a water heater..."

Su Lingyu's eyes lit up.

"There is a refrigerator..."

Su Lingyu's eyes became brighter.

"And the washing machine..."

Su Lingyu didn’t care about this. She didn’t have to do the laundry anyway. Gu Yanying had been doing it for her these days.

The only things she needed to wash herself were her own underwear.

But water heaters and refrigerators are already very rare conveniences in this era. Su Lingyu now just wants to take a good bath, the kind of shower!

“Move!” She turned around excitedly and wanted to pack her things, but after taking two steps, she became lazy and glared at Gu Yanying with her beautiful and charming almond eyes, “What are you waiting for? Move your things quickly! We’ll move right over!”

"...Okay." Gu Yanying suppressed the smile in her eyes and tried her best not to laugh out loud.

The two people, or rather Gu Yanying alone, acted very quickly.

He didn't have much stuff in the warehouse, and Su Lingyu's stuff was even less, so he simply packed their clothes and daily necessities, and took the newly bought mats, pots and other utensils.

He carried the things in one hand and put the other hand loosely behind Su Lingyu, and they left the dock together.

Come out of the dock, get on the bus, and then enter Jingcheng University.

Su Lingyu felt like she had entered a truly civilized society from a land of disorder, and finally felt safe and secure.

Gu Yanying and she received a warm welcome from Gu Yanying's mentor, An Guohong's family. By the time they were settled in the second bedroom, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Just take a shower and go to bed.

but……

Su Lingyu sat on the bedside, looking at the pair of pillows placed side by side at the 1.5-meter-tall bedside, and the red pillowcase with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the pillows. She then recalled the smile on An Guohong's wife, Gu Yanying's wife, when she brought the pillowcase...

I realized it belatedly and it feels a bit magical.

[Xiao Tongzi, I...does this count as a successful capture of Gu Yanying?]

They both announced to the public that they were husband and wife!
