Lu Yan didn't speak, but instead stretched out her hand and made an OK sign, indicating that she had agreed.

At that moment, she really wanted to pounce on Zhuang Yan right away. If it weren't for the camera recording, she would definitely listen to it several more times. Lu Yan put down the receiver and ran back happily: "I've finished listening, you can go now."

Zhuang Yan stood up and covered Lu Yan with the blanket in his hand. Everyone was ready and waiting.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhuang Yan will receive three voice messages today. Zhuang Yan went in, picked up the receiver, and the first voice message was from An Xinrong.

"Hello Zhuang Yan, this is An Xinrong. I was quite nervous when I said this. You might not believe it, but I liked you back when you were with Xia Wan. But I didn't understand love back then and hurt you in the wrong way. People should be punished for their mistakes, so I accept the fact that you don't like me."

An Xinrong wanted to show that she had let go of the past, but she couldn't help but choke up when she got to this point.

"I never thought I would regret or feel sad about things that have already happened. Every time I think about it, I wish I could go back in time and slap my past self. Thinking about it, you used to have such a good temper. How could you tolerate me humiliating you like that? If it were me, I would have already hit you. Sigh... Sometimes I really wish you could slap me a few times and beat me up. That way I wouldn't feel so bad. As for other things, there's nothing else to say. Let me tell you something you don't know. Last week, Lu Yan and I talked alone in the room. She said that it's precisely because she's so outstanding that you like her. But I think even if she had nothing, you would still like her."

"Since you've made the choice to be with her, then I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. If you break up halfway through, I'll be there to interfere. You'd better watch out, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Finally... can I hear you praise me one last time?"

The two instances of "finally" indicate that An Xinrong was very uneasy at this moment; she was waiting.

Just as Zhuang Yan was about to put down the receiver to respond, the sound came through the earphone after a long pause.

"Xiaoyan, it's me, Jiang Ning. I'm already very lucky to be able to meet you again. I've already asked you what I wanted to ask. Actually, I knew a long time ago that we weren't suitable, but I still refused all the offers to participate in this variety show and walk this path that had no future. Although it wasn't long, it's unforgettable. Xiaoyan, I'm sorry. I apologize for my arrogance and my sensitivity and timidity. It was impolite to bother you too much. In the end, I wish you all your wishes come true and that all your paths will be smooth. Seeing that you are happy and doing well, I should be able to let go of my feelings. By the way..." Jiang Ning's voice suddenly rose.

"After the Spring Festival, I plan to go abroad to achieve my ultimate goal. From now on, you'll only see me on various screens. Don't miss me, because I'm afraid I won't be able to bear leaving. If you have time, on New Year's Eve, take Lu Yan to meet my mom and let her try her cooking. Lu Yan should like it."

The last voice message was sent by Lu Yan. Zhuang Yan planned to listen to all three voice messages together before responding.

Zhuang Yan was actually a little nervous about what Lu Yan was going to say to him.

“Ayan, I am your Yanyan. Before I met you, I never believed in love, let alone online dating or love at first sight. Marriage is a grave that hastened my death. It will restrict my freedom. I scoff at topics like ‘I can give up my life to love you’. Just thinking about it makes me feel stupid. After I met you, I knew that God had punished my arrogance.”

"You are the person I've always dreamed of having."

"She's someone I can't help but laugh when I think about her unintentionally."

"She is also someone I once longed for but could not have, someone I deeply regret."

"If I hadn't been able to be with you, I think I probably would never have loved anyone in my life, and I would have been alone forever."

"There's always someone who suddenly appears in your life and disrupts all your plans. Your appearance has filled my ordinary life with color. Because of you, I can look forward to each day. I've started to enjoy this world, pay attention to the weather every day, and love life."

"I'd rather be buried with you than have a relationship with marriage in mind."

"So? Will you be buried together in the future? If you agree, then come find me here tomorrow."

As Lu Yan's cheerful confession ended, the voice message also came to a close, and Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up with a smile.

...

After listening to all the voice messages, Zhuang Yan put down the receiver. He felt like everyone was staring at him. He blinked, went over the three voice messages in his mind, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I'll answer the first question first." He looked at An Xinrong.

"You're really amazing now. You've learned to cook, and your cold dishes are delicious. You're very smart, and I see unlimited potential in you. You will definitely surpass your parents and become even more amazing than them. Don't be discouraged, smile more. You look beautiful when you smile, and your fans love to see it."

Upon hearing this, the others knew that it was clearly directed at An Xinrong.

An Xinrong's eyes reddened, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up into a bright smile.

"Then, for the second point, my reply was that I would bring her to your house for dinner, and I also wish you all things to be renewed, old illnesses to be cured, years to be ever new, and a bright future."

Jiang Ning nodded and smiled, trying her best to maintain her expression. It would be impolite to bother her any further. The current outcome was good for everyone, and she was quite happy.

The last question was answered very simply and concisely by Zhuang Yan: "I agree."

What do you mean by agreeing? Do you mean agreeing to be in a relationship? Or do you mean agreeing to something else entirely?

Only Lu Yan knew that Zhuang Yan had agreed to her proposal of "joint burial."

Confess your love in one go, and then be buried together?

To share the same bed in life and the same grave in death—how can this not be considered the ultimate romance?

After answering all the questions, Zhuang Yan went back. The atmosphere was a bit tense at this point. The director didn't come out to ease the tension but instead followed with his camera, and the live camera followed as well. Many people were guessing what the audio was about.

Unfortunately, the only way to find out the ending is to watch the full movie. Everyone is also looking forward to seeing what will happen when we leave tomorrow.

Fang Chen had been waiting for An Xinrong's response from beginning to end, but An Xinrong didn't even glance at him, which made him very embarrassed. He couldn't help but wonder if An Xinrong hadn't heard his last sentence.

He's already compromised and decided to be friends instead of lovers, so why won't An Xinrong give him a chance?

In front of everyone, Fang Chen wanted to test An Xinrong: "Xinrong, did you hear the voice message?"

"I heard you."

"Have you finished listening?"

“Although it was long, I listened to it all,” An Xinrong replied with a cold face.

In a few words, Fang Chen learned An Xinrong's attitude in a way that humiliated him.
