A $C = C$ $C=C$ bond is composed of 4 electrons.

Explanation:

Consider ethylene, $H_{2} C = C H_{2}$ $H_2C=CH_2$ . Each hydrogen atom has the one electron available for bonding. Each carbon atom has 4 electrons available for bonding. (The remaining electrons $C, Z = 6$ $C, Z=6$ are inner core, and are not presumed to be involved in bonding.)

So in a olefin bond $C : + : C$ $C: + :C$ gives the $C = C$ $C=C$ junction.
