By the time Chu He arrived at the police station, she was two hours late.
"Chu He, what took you so long?"
A colleague said sullenly, "If it weren't for you, I would have gotten off work earlier! Any later, you might as well turn up just to knock off work!"
Chu He felt somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry, there were too many people at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I was delayed."
"…Huh?!"
That colleague was taken aback. "You really went to register your marriage?"
Chu He fell silent for a moment before replying, "…as I said so yesterday."
"I thought you were joking because you were drunk! But to be honest, Chu He, your alcohol tolerance is really something. Have you ever been drunk?"
Chu He shook her head. "No, but I don't drink often."
Just as she entered the office after logging in on her punch card, she saw Li Xiaofeng returning to his office at the same time. He looked across at her and asked, "Why are you so late?"
