Anning and Leiting arrived at Niujin University and ate some fruit at the cafeteria. Leiting asked Anning to sit down and rest. Liao Qian, wearing a top hat and carrying a cane, walked over to Anning, gently bent down, and extended his hand to invite her to dance. Anning didn't immediately recognize the person in the top hat. It wasn't until he spoke that she realized it was Liao Qian.

Liao Qian: "Beautiful lady, please dance with me!"

An Ning: "Liao Qian, why are you dressed like this? I didn't even recognize you. Please sit down."

Liao Qian: "I'm not sitting here anymore. I have to get busy later. We don't have enough manpower to set up the venue without making money!"

Thunder: "Get lost, stop being sarcastic. Where's your Allen? Why isn't he here?"

Liao Qian: "Look, over there is a love proposal scene decorated with pink roses."

Anning: "A love confession scene...who is it? Who is confessing their love?"

Thunder: "Hey, you're not related to us. Come on, sit down here. I'll go get you some more fruit."

An Ning: "Okay..."

Just as Anning had said, the light blue cheongsam, adorned with a few pearls at the hem, was perfectly suited to the green lawn, blending seamlessly with the dark blue sky of approaching dusk. Above Anning's head, a white silk canopy hung, as if adding a tent to the sky for the elves to rest, with specks of starlight scattering down from it, like the elves peeking at Anning's gaze.

Lei Ting took An Ning's favorite cherries and fed them to her one by one. He even caught the pits from the cherries that An Ning spat out with his hand. An Ning didn't want Lei Ting to do this, but he insisted on catching them anyway.

An Ning: "I'll just throw up on the paper. Thunder..."

Thunder: "Spit it out quickly, don't swallow it, it will sprout in your stomach if you swallow it."

An Ning: "Hahaha, what an old-fashioned way to coax a child, hahaha."

Lei Ting took the cherry pits from An Ning's mouth, and Liao Qian wiped his hands with a tissue. Just like when they were little, Lei Ting would insist on catching cherry pits for Yu Li in order to get pocket money, and then he would have Liao Qian wipe his hands behind his back. Liao Qian was used to it.

Thunder: "Sit down. What are you doing standing there?"

Liao Qian: "Your sweetness is so overwhelming that I can't sit still."

Thunder: "Making conversation, Anning, have another cherry."

Anning: "I'll feed you one. Open your mouth."

Liao Qian closed her eyes. The childish intimacy between An Ning and Lei Ting made her take a deep breath. Opening her eyes, she noticed the driver behind Lei Ting, who greeted her. Liao Qian nodded. Jenny told An Ning to fetch the treats she had made especially for her. An Ning went to get them, chatted with Jenny for a few minutes, and then Liao Qian caught the cherry pit from Lei Ting's mouth. Lei Ting looked at her, and Liao Qian teased him.

Thunder: "What..."

Liao Qian: "Mom, don't swallow the cherry pit! Spit it out, I'll catch it for you. I want that robot tank, it's only two thousand yuan..."

Thunder: "Haha...hahaha...my mom and I want some pocket money...cough cough, cough cough..."

Amused by Liao Qian, Lei Ting inhaled a cherry pit, coughed violently twice, and Liao Qian immediately slapped him on the back, causing him to spit the pit out. Liao Qian asked him anxiously.

Liao Qian: "How are you? How are you? Is there anything left in your throat?"

Thunder: "No, just that one..."

Liao Qian: "Hurry up and drink some juice. I'm not teasing you anymore. You don't know how to be funny."

Thunder: "Cough cough, that palm strike was powerful... cough cough..."

Liao Qian: "Have some juice to help with digestion."

Liao Qian handed Lei Ting a glass of juice, which Lei Ting drank to calm himself down before continuing to laugh.

Thunder: "Hahaha, no wonder you were wiping my hands so skillfully just now, turns out you remembered that. I'd almost forgotten about it. Hahaha."

Liao Qian: "Stop laughing. Where did you get that golden dragon ring on your chest? It's so exquisite. Anning must have given it to you."

Thunder: "You're so clever! Look, there are roses inside, and my golden dragon is coiled on top of the roses. It has a symbolic meaning, doesn't it!"

Liao Qian: "It looks pretty good. I'll put some padding on it. It's so heavy!"

Lei Ting: "It seems to be two hundred grams! The gold here isn't as shiny as the gold from Fengtian, but it was sent by Anning, so the sentiment is good."

Liao Qian nodded and helped Lei Ting straighten the buttons on his black robe. He then stood in front of Lei Ting and spoke to him.

Liao Qian: "Why did you bring my driver in here? You're not planning to cause trouble, are you?"

Thunder: "Hehe, dare to steal my wife? I'll make him laugh and cry at the same time."

Lei Ting glanced at the pink rose decorations not far away, took a sip of juice, and flashed his signature roguish grin. The driver, as expected, was a master at reading people and immediately tried to impress.

Driver: "Mr. Lei, I'm going to wreck that guy's place."

Lei Ting: "No, no, no, if we smash it, we can't continue. You're in charge of protecting An Ning, and the rest of you just follow my lead."

Driver: "Okay."

Liao Qian: "I really can't handle you two. I'd better go check on my Allen."

Following the direction Liao Qian walked, there was an arched bridge made of fresh pink roses, and a group of people were using a hydrogen generator to pop balloons. Each balloon had "Promise Me" written on it. Lei Ting sneered, and An Ning came up behind him with a cup of cheese and strawberry crumbs.

Anning: "Leiting, what's going on over there? Why are there so many pink roses? Shall we go take a look?"

Thunder: "No, no, we're not going. There will be a magic show on stage soon, so we'll just sit here and not go anywhere."

Anning: "Okay... here's a bite of this cheese crumb, it tastes really good."

Thunder: "Mmm, delicious."

Anning was feeding Leiting, and Leiting said he had lost more than 20 pounds. Anning wanted to help him gain weight.

An Ning: "Lei Ting, I'm going to raise you into a pig, hahaha, I can't help but laugh when I think of that pig carp you mentioned."
