Chapter 155 Ending

The game project has come to an end, and campus life has become a thing of the past.

Suddenly being pulled out of that non-stop high-pressure state, I felt a little uncomfortable.

What’s next?

Let’s talk about it later. Now, it’s time to treat yourself and enjoy the long-awaited leisure time.

So, I started to stay at home with a clear conscience, and called it the "slacking off recovery period".

It has been a long time since I have experienced such idle and almost decadent days.

Back when I didn’t start a business or go to graduate school, this was my normal state. Lin Yan fed me delicious food and drinks every day, and I was raised like a happy little pig. My biggest worry was probably that there was no equipment dropped in the game copy today.

But now, after so much busyness and hard work, this kind of leisurely time of doing nothing seems particularly precious, like stolen time.

I wear that soft home clothes every day and can stay at home for several days without going downstairs.

For meals, I rely on food delivery apps or wait for Lin Yan to come home from get off work to show off his cooking skills.

Yesterday, Lin Yan suddenly said he wanted to take me out for dinner.

Just go out. I'm too lazy to dress up, so I just put on a jacket over my pajamas, some casual pants, and even my most comfortable pair of Crocs, and get ready to go out.

Lin Yan looked at my mixed-style outfit and frowned slightly: "Baby... do you want to change into something a little more formal?"

I was a little confused: "Isn't it just going out for a meal? No one is watching. I guess it's the new place downstairs? It's just a short walk away, so there's no need, right?"

I looked at him. Wow, he was wearing a well-tailored suit, his tie was neatly tied, and his hair was carefully combed. He was so handsome that he looked like he was going to attend a financial summit, not a restaurant at the entrance of the community.

"Why are you dressed so formally? Do you have to go back to the company soon?"

"No." Lin Yan's eyes wandered for a moment, and he adjusted his tie, which was already perfect, in an unnatural manner.

It's strange, are you addicted to wearing suits?

I grumbled in my mind, but didn't think much about it. I was feeling lazy and really didn't want to bother changing clothes anymore.

"That's it, I'm too lazy to change."

Lin Yan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled helplessly: "Okay, as long as you like it."

When I drove out, I thought it was nearby, but as the car drove along, the scenery outside the window became more and more unfamiliar.

"Is this restaurant so far away?" I couldn't help but ask, feeling a little hungry.

"Well, it's a shop that's quite far away. The food is delicious and the environment is nice, so I'll take you there to try it."

Lin Yan looked straight ahead and answered a little too briefly.

After driving for a long time, I was so hungry that I started searching the car for food.

Sure enough, two individually wrapped pieces of beef jerky were found in the storage compartment on the side of the car door!

I tore open the package and started chewing it as if I had found a life-saving straw.

Lin Yan glanced at me and moved his lips as if he wanted to stop me, but in the end he didn't say anything. His expression was just a little... indescribable?

I found it even more strange.

Under normal circumstances, he would have started making fun of me, saying "little hungry cat" or "pay attention to your image, Mr. Chen", but today he was unusually silent.

Combined with his overly formal suit and this mysterious long-distance dinner... I finally realized and raised the alarm in my heart: This guy is definitely hiding something from me!

The car finally stopped while I was chewing beef jerky and brainstorming furiously.

It's a high-end looking hotel.

When I was taking the elevator upstairs, I subconsciously took out another piece of beef jerky from my pocket (don’t ask why I still had it in my pocket, you don’t understand the food reserves of foodies), and as soon as I tore open the package, Lin Yan snatched it away.

Me: “???” I stared at him blankly.

He had a complicated expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Humph, luckily I still have some reserves!

I took out another one from another pocket like magic!

Lin Yan's expression completely collapsed, and he looked constipated, as if he wanted to laugh but was forcing himself to hold it back.

My alarm bells immediately went off: Could it be that he is starting to dislike me?!

Although my mind tells me that this is absolutely impossible, his series of abnormal actions today really makes me feel uneasy.

Finally, we arrived at the door of the private room he mentioned. The waiter pushed open the heavy door for us.

I peeked inside and froze instantly!

How could this be a private dining room?! This is clearly a small banquet hall! It's filled with pure white and champagne-colored flowers, delicate veils, and soft string lights...it's incredibly romantic!

I was so scared that I immediately drew back my head, grabbed Lin Yan's arm, and lowered my voice: "We've come to the wrong place! We've come to the wrong place! This must be someone's wedding banquet! Let's go!"

Lin Yan looked at me and finally couldn't help laughing softly. Then he held my hand tightly, led me in without saying anything, and closed the door behind him.

I was holding the half-eaten beef jerky, completely stunned, standing blankly at the beginning of the red carpet covered with flower petals.

Just when my brain was shutting down, soft music started playing and the lights in the room quietly changed, focusing on us.

Lin Yan held my hand and walked along the red carpet, step by step, towards the center surrounded by flowers.

When we reached the end of the red carpet, I watched him turn around, pick up a bouquet of carefully wrapped white roses from the side, and hand it to me.

Only then did I finally realize what was happening!

Propose! It's a proposal!

My heart suddenly started beating wildly and blood rushed to my head!

"No... Lin Yan... you..."

I was incoherent, my cheeks were so hot that I could fry an egg on them, and I subconsciously took the bouquet. I didn't know where to look, and when I lowered my head, I saw the pair of cute, out-of-place sandals on my feet!

"Oh! Why didn't you tell me in advance!"

I was so embarrassed and anxious that I wished I could disappear right there and change my equipment to start over again!

Lin Yan smiled with eyes curved and full of doting: "Wife, if I told you in advance, what's the point of calling it a surprise?"

"Then you should at least give me a hint! I'm just... coming here in my pajamas and Crocs?!"

I raised the pitiful half of beef jerky in my hand, feeling like crying but unable to.

Looking at me like this, Lin Yan finally couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing: "Hahahahahaha..."

"You're still laughing!" I punched him in shame and anger. "How can you be like that? Proposing and then laughing at the person you're proposing to!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he tried hard to hold back his laughter, but the smile in his eyes was about to overflow, "I just... I just didn't expect you to be so... cute. Really, Ruirui, you are so real and cute like this."

He took a deep breath, became serious again, took my hand, and slowly knelt on one knee.

He took out a velvet box from the inside pocket of his suit and opened it. Inside was a ring with a simple design but extremely dazzling.

He looked up at me, his eyes deep and focused, his voice so gentle it could drip water: "Chen Rui, I love you. Marry me, and let me take care of you for the rest of my life."

My heart was beating so fast as if it was about to burst out of my chest. I was overwhelmed by great joy and emotion, my nose was sore, and my eyes were hot.

I looked at him and nodded vigorously, my voice tearing but my smile incredibly bright: "Okay! Of course!"

But after I agreed, I remembered something and stretched out my left hand, shaking it: "But... didn't you give me a ring before? I've been wearing it all the time."

Lin Yan held my hand, bent down and gently kissed the old ring, then carefully took it off.

He took out the engagement ring and slowly put it on my ring finger. It was just the right size.

Then he threaded the old ring into an exquisite silver necklace and put it around my neck.

“The old one hangs here, close to the heart.”

He whispered, his fingertips touching the ring on my chest, "Wear the new one on your hand and tell everyone that you belong to me."

"You..."

I touched the old ring on my neck that was still warm from my body, and finally couldn't hold back my tears. "Isn't your possessiveness too strong? You gave me two rings?"

"Two is better."

He stood up, hugged me tightly in his arms, and whispered in my ear, "One represents the past, and the other represents the future. It means that we will be together not just in this life, but for all our lives. This way, I can use them to find you faster in the next life."

"Yeah!" I hugged him back tightly, crying and laughing, "We agreed! In the next life, and the next life after that, you have to find me sooner!"

We embraced each other amidst flowers and lights, everything around us blurred, leaving only each other's heartbeat and warmth.

At this point, the puzzle of life seems to have finally found the last piece, becoming complete and perfect.

Lin Yan, nice to meet you.

Please give me your guidance for the rest of my life.

————————————————————

Ohhhh, congratulations on the end!

To be honest, this is my first completed novel and the first time I have written so much.

In fact, this novel was originally just about how two people with the most distant relationship in the dormitory would get along with each other?

Even Chen Rui's character might have been more bizarre at first (getting beaten), and Lin Yan's character might have been more... Of course, after adjustments, it generally maintained a more acceptable tone (although many people still couldn't accept Rui Rui's sloppy image at first).

Anyway, generally speaking, this setting is just an idea that popped up in my mind, and I wrote it down as I wanted to, and even publishing it was a very accidental thing. At the time, I just thought, can't I eat alone?

Maybe I didn’t intend to write so much at the beginning, so it became a bit lengthy later, and I didn’t think much about the outline of the article at the beginning.

But as I wrote, I still wanted to give a more perfect ending. Since the two people got together very quickly in the early stage, I think the perfect ending for this article is not about the two people's mutual understanding, but about them becoming better and better with the nourishment of love.

At the end of the article, Ruirui has everything.

And other supporting roles, they are all indispensable and important parts.

So this article is also like a small universe. I believe that in some world, they live peacefully and happily like this.

There will be some extra chapters later, so stay tuned!
