Chapter 200: Qianqian, am I... really that bad?
Jin Changyu looked at the bridge, then at her, and nodded emphatically, "I told you."
“But…” He looked at her growing pregnant belly, his eyes filled with worry and hesitation, “You might get tired.”
"You think my daily brisk walking exercise is just for show?"
Sang Qian glanced at the bridge, which wasn't particularly long or steep, and raised an eyebrow arrogantly, saying, "Do you think this bridge can stump me?"
Jin Changyu was amused by her playful appearance, but still had some concerns, "Really?"
"Unless you don't want to go."
Jin Changyu's eyelids twitched, and he quickly replied, "Yes, of course I want to."
Gao Ze said that the locals regard this bridge as a "marriage bridge," and two people walking across the bridge together symbolize growing old together and never being separated.
In the past, he would have scoffed at such words, but with Sang Qian, he would walk hand in hand with her across the bridge of fate with utmost sincerity.
"Walk."
Before he could make a move, Sang Qian took the initiative to pull him toward the bridge.
There were many couples on and under the bridge; some were taking photos, some were playing around, and some were kissing.
Looking around, all you see are couples.
Jin Changyu took Sang Qian's hand and slowed down to walk with her onto the bridge.
The bridge wasn't long, connecting both sides of the river. Even if they walked slowly, it would only take them about ten minutes to reach the platform at the top of the bridge.
"Let's take a break first."
Jin Changyu led her to a marble bench by the bridge, intending for her to sit down and rest, but Sang Qian shook her head and said no.
She turned and stood by the bridge railing, looking out over the river. The water shimmered and sparkled, reflecting the colorful lights on both banks.
"So this is what it's like to see the scenery from a bridge. It's wonderful."
She couldn't help but sigh.
She had been to the central square many times, but had never crossed this bridge.
During her university years, she, Su Luoluo, and Tang Yuehai came here to play. Su Luoluo, being playful, tried to pull them onto the bridge, but Sang Qian refused to go with them.
"This is a bridge for marriage, and I don't want to go up there and become a third wheel."
Actually, I didn't want to disturb that stinky couple as they crossed the Bridge of Love.
Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo immediately pushed Tang Yuehai away, grabbed her hand, and said, "If I could only choose one to go across the bridge, I would choose you."
Tang Yuehai didn't mind, and tactfully jumped to the side, picked up his camera, and said, "Then I'll stand under the bridge and take pictures of you."
"No, I don't want others to misunderstand my sexual orientation," Sang Qian joked, her words half-truth and half-joking. "Even if I'm going to cross this bridge, I'll find a man I truly love to come with me."
She pushed Su Luoluo into Tang Yuehai's arms, then snatched his camera and urged the two of them, "You two hurry up and go up there, I'll take the picture."
Finally, Su Luoluo and Tang Yuehai went up the bridge together, and she took photos of her two friends from a distance below.
Several years later, after experiencing some twists and turns in life, the jokes from back then have now come true.
She walked onto the bridge with the man she loved.
She couldn't resist taking out her phone, snapping a picture of the scenery under the bridge, and sending it to Su Luoluo.
I also saw the scenery on the Bridge of Love.
Su Luoluo replied, "Really? Is the scenery on the bridge this beautiful today?"
The time I crossed the bridge with the sea, the scenery along the river wasn't nearly as romantic.
Sang Qian, [Really?]
Su Luoluo: [Why would I lie to you?]
[You guys are lucky to be in this city at the right time. Tsk, if I weren't in another city tonight, I would have definitely gone there and checked it out.]
No way, next Valentine's Day, I have to go check out the ocean with me.
Seeing her smiling while looking at her phone, Jin Changyu approached and asked, "Who are you chatting with? You seem so happy."
"It's Luo Luo. I sent her photos and said the Love Bridge was beautiful today. She was amazed and said that if it weren't for the fact that the ocean gave her a Valentine's Day surprise at a resort in another city, she would have wanted to come and walk around here."
Look, Da Hai even prepared a Valentine's Day surprise for his fiancée. How thoughtful of him!
From the restaurant until now, Jin Changyu felt as if his heart was being shattered by one heavy blow after another.
I doubt you could find another man in the world as unromantic as him. He was completely unprepared for Valentine's Day and didn't even remember the date.
"Qianqian, am I... really that bad?"
"?"
Sang Qian looked at the man, who appeared ashamed and dejected, with a puzzled expression. "Why do you say that?"
Jin Changyu lowered his head. "This is our first Valentine's Day together, and I haven't prepared anything for you. Like Da Hai, he would specially arrange a vacation for Miss Su, but me..."
"Have you forgotten what I told you again?" Sang Qian interrupted his self-doubt.
“I told you before that every couple has a different way of getting along. Da Hai arranged a Valentine’s Day vacation for Luo Luo because Luo Luo is active and likes to travel and vacation, but I’m not enthusiastic about it, and besides, I’m not suitable to go out in my current state.”
She touched her belly and said, "What's there to compare?"
"But all the other girls received flowers and gifts tonight..."
"elder brother?"
A shout came from behind. Jin Changyu turned around and saw the little girl who had sold him flowers at a high price last time standing behind him.
"It really is you."
The little girl, carrying a flower basket, happily walked forward, saying, "I had a feeling I would meet you today."
Seeing her and the flower basket in her hand, a glimmer of hope flashed in Jin Changyu's eyes. He was about to speak when he realized Sang Qian was beside him. Remembering the scolding he received for buying flowers last time, he cautiously asked the price first this time.
"Little girl, how much are your flowers for today?"
"Today is Valentine's Day, so prices are double what they are usually, but if it's you... it's free."
Upon hearing this, Jin Changyu and Sang Qian were both taken aback. They exchanged a puzzled look before Jin Changyu turned to the little girl.
"No money required?"
"right."
The little girl put down the flower basket, opened the top shelf, and took out a bouquet of pre-wrapped roses from the bottom compartment, handing it to him.
"Here, this is something I prepared especially for you. I won't charge you this time."
Jin Changyu didn't take the money, but asked her gently, "Why aren't you taking any money this time?"
The little girl said somewhat embarrassedly, "Last time... I tried to cheat you out of money and even planned to pocket it, but my mother found out and gave me a good scolding after she learned what had happened. She said that doing business requires honesty and you can't cheat your customers."
"I've reflected on it, and I really shouldn't have taken advantage of your easygoing nature to extort so much money from you." The little girl sincerely stuffed the flowers into Jin Changyu's hand. "So, these flowers are compensation for you today."
Seeing that Jin Changyu was a little stunned, she grabbed his arm and pushed him in front of Sang Qian, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and give the flowers to your beautiful wife."
Happy Valentine's Day to my older brother and sister!
The little girl winked at the two of them, waved goodbye, then picked up the flower basket and ran away.
"Eh..."
By the time Jin Changyu tried to call the girl back to pay, the little girl had already run off the bridge, disappearing into the crowd in a few quick movements.
Sang Qian was also completely bewildered by this scene.
She glanced in the direction the little girl had disappeared, then at Jin Changyu, who was holding flowers, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"...Could it be that you arranged for her to deliver the flowers?"
