The remaining fireworks burst forth in a state of overflowing happiness. Wang Ming and Shen Ying took many photos, and for the first time, he tasted the sweetness of being in love.
As the crowd in the square gradually dispersed, the two held hands and went home.
“Ying, I’ll come to see you whenever I have free time,” Wang Ming said softly.
He was in a great mood after his successful confession, feeling almost euphoric.
"Goodbye, focus on your work. Don't forget, this year you'll be in full charge of the storyboards for Tom and Jerry. Good luck! If you miss me, we can video chat every day. I'll come to Beijing to see you during my summer vacation." Shen Ying said with a smile, "At that time, you have to show me around Beijing, you know?"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Ming nodded vigorously.
Distance will not become a shackle on the relationship between two people; on the contrary, it will be a catalyst to enhance their feelings and only make them miss each other more.
"By the way, Ying, did you know that Jiang Xia and Yan Wan have decided to get engaged?"
"So fast?" Shen Ying looked surprised; clearly, she had just heard about it too.
"Yes, their parents met today to discuss this matter, and they even asked my mom to be their witness. I estimate that the engagement ceremony will be held in a while."
"That's great. They should be locked up together. It would be an outrage if those two didn't get married," Shen Ying chuckled.
"I think so too."
Before they knew it, the two had been chatting all the way to Shen Ying's apartment building. Wang Ming looked up at the building and asked, "Which floor do you live on?"
"Seventh floor."
"Should I go up and say hello to the uncle and aunt?"
Shen Ying chuckled: "If my parents knew I was dating in college, they'd probably give you a good scolding."
"Let them scold me. It's one thing to not be allowed to date in high school, but why can't we date in college?" Wang Ming pouted, seemingly having picked up a little bit of Jiang Xia's stubborn and unyielding personality.
In any case, there aren't many men in his age group who are better than him. Any normal person who is going to be his future in-laws would know how to choose a son-in-law.
"No way, I don't want to get scolded."
"Should I come see you tomorrow?"
Shen Ying shook her head: "On the first and second days of the lunar new year, I should go back to my hometown to pay respects to my ancestors. I'll come to see you when I have time."
"All right."
Wang Ming felt a little regretful. He had only just started dating, and he hadn't even had a chance to hold his girlfriend's hand enough before he was forced to separate from Shen Ying for two days.
"Then I'll go home now," she said.
"Um."
"Want a hug before you leave?" Shen Ying looked at him with a smile, her bright eyes revealing a hint of mischief.
This guy is a bit too conservative sometimes; he has to take the initiative for even the most basic things that couples do.
But she quite likes it this way.
"Hey, is it okay?" Wang Ming scratched his head. He had been so busy being stiff when Shen Ying hugged him in the square that he was too busy to move properly.
"Of course you can, you silly goose." Shen Ying stepped forward, gently hugged him, and whispered in his ear, "Ming, we're a couple now."
Wang Ming gently inhaled the faint scent of shampoo in her hair, his arms trembling slightly as he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist, feeling inexplicably dazed.
Why are you shaking?
"I'm a little nervous holding you," Wang Ming said honestly.
Shen Ying chuckled.
"Silly boy. Then hug me more often. Once you get used to it, you won't be nervous anymore," she said shyly.
After they confessed their feelings to each other, Shen Ying discovered that she liked him even more than she had imagined.
Wang Ming hugged her tighter: "Ying, thank you, thank you for agreeing to be my girlfriend."
She shook her head: "Don't say things like that in the future. Love is a two-way street. You like me, and I like you too."
"Yes, I will always love you, until we grow old." Wang Ming smiled.
"Mmm..." The girl in love nodded gently, her face flushed.
After hugging for a long time, Wang Ming gently pushed Shen Ying away.
"Have you hugged enough? Do you want to hug me a little longer?" Shen Ying asked.
Wang Ming shook his head: "You should go back early."
She chuckled, then suddenly kissed him on the cheek before turning and running upstairs, leaving only her gentle laughter in his ears.
Goodnight, my boyfriend.
Wang Ming stood there, stunned, watching her disappear quickly around the corner of the corridor. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch the spot where she had just kissed him, as if he could still feel that softness.
A smile unconsciously crept onto his face; his Ying was the best girlfriend in the world.
Goodnight, Ying.
Facing the night breeze, Wang Ming exhaled a soft puff of white breath, put his hands in his pockets, hummed a song, and slowly walked home.
Looking back now, everything that happened tonight really feels like a dream, it's unbelievable.
He himself never imagined that the confession would go so smoothly, and Shen Ying became his girlfriend so naturally, holding hands, hugging, and even kissing him.
It sounds like a science fiction movie.
As he was walking down the street, his phone suddenly rang. He thought it was Shen Ying calling, but when he took it out, it was Jiang Xia.
"Old Wang, how's the situation?" Jiang Xia's laughter came through the receiver, and Lin Yanwan seemed to be nearby.
"It's done," Wang Ming said with a smile.
Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes: "Shen Ying agreed?"
"Okay. Thanks, Lao Jiang. I'll treat you to dinner when we get to the capital," he said with a smile.
Ultimately, the idea of asking Shen Ying to set off fireworks on New Year's Eve and taking the opportunity to confess his feelings to her was Jiang Xia's idea, and even the fireworks set off today were provided by Jiang Xia.
It's no exaggeration to say that he deserves the most credit.
"Congratulations! I knew it! True love will prevail in the end." Jiang Xia laughed heartily. "Where are you now?"
"I just dropped her off at home, and I'm on my way home now," Wang Ming said.
"That's manly enough. Let's interview you. How are you feeling now?"
"I don't know how to describe it, but it's just so great, even better than when I got my acceptance letter from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. I'm in a state of excitement right now, and I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
Jiang Xia laughed and said, "That's how it is when you first start dating. You want to be with your sweetheart 24 hours a day. You'll get used to it."
Lin Yanwan's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "You stinky dog, are you saying you don't have the same feelings for me as before?"
"Hey, baby, what I mean is that we're an old married couple, how can our relationship compare to those of young newbies who are just starting out in love?" Jiang Xia explained.
Listening to their bickering, Wang Ming laughed and said, "Old Jiang, you guys keep playing, I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, he saw that Shen Ying had also sent a text message at that moment.
"Idiot, where are you? Have you gone back yet?"
I recommend a friend's book, "I Really Want to Squander the Sect's Fortune!"
A lighthearted cultivation story, a slice-of-life tale about a man who tries to ruin his sect's fortune but ends up being repeatedly betrayed in the cultivation world.
