People in the city prefer free love; they don't necessarily have to meet each other's parents as soon as they start dating.
Zhang Cuihua realized that she didn't really understand the habits of city people, so she decided to listen to her son's arrangement.
Now he casually says he wants to get married.
"Mom, I saw Su Yueya. She...she has amnesia."
In the end, Liu Dekai told his mother the whole story.
After all, we live in the same compound, and we might bump into each other any day. I need to let my mother know the current situation so that she won't accidentally mess things up without knowing the details.
Liu Dekai cannot afford any unexpected events.
"To avoid any unforeseen complications, I think it's better to marry Mo Youyou as soon as possible. What if she finds out that I was married to Su Yueya and breaks up with me?"
Liu Dekai is very self-aware.
He has worked hard to get where he is today, but the root cause lies with Mo Youyou and Mo Cheng.
There's no shortage of hardworking people in the military; there are many who work even harder than him, but they might not be able to get promoted as quickly as he has.
Zhang Cuihua nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
After all, they abandoned Su Yueya just to marry Mo Youyou!
"Alright, son, you can handle this yourself. Mom will support you!"
"But now that you're getting married, when are you going to let Mom meet your new daughter-in-law?"
"Mom, city people always propose before getting married. I'll arrange it first. Once Youyou accepts my proposal, I'll bring her home to meet you," Liu Dekai said confidently.
Mo Youyou couldn't refuse.
But Liu Dekai didn't dare to gamble; who knew if Su Yueya would go crazy?
What if I lose my memory today but regain it tomorrow?
He needs to cook the raw rice into cooked rice as soon as possible.
The next day, Liu Dekai went to Zhonghe Street and bought many things needed for the proposal. He then asked a few of his brothers from the army to help him.
Upon hearing that Deputy Battalion Commander Liu was proposing marriage, everyone vied to come and witness it.
"Don't get it wrong, this bouquet is for Youyou, these are the ones that were taken apart and made into a petal rain."
"Arrange the candles in the shape of a heart first, don't rush to light them. Wait until 7:55 before lighting them. These candles are small, and if one of them goes out after a short time, it won't look good."
"Keep an eye on the time, I'm going to pick her up now."
Liu Dekai had arranged to take a walk in the courtyard with Mo Youyou at 8 p.m. tonight.
Meanwhile, he and a large group of brothers had prepared the proposal scene in the courtyard in advance.
When he picked up Mo Youyou from downstairs at her house, he would deliberately follow the same route.
First, rose petals will be scattered along the walking path to guide them. As they walk further, they will see heart-shaped candles arranged in the path.
Liu Dekai will immediately step forward, accept the flowers held by his teammates, take out the ring he bought at a high price on Zhonghe Street, and formally propose to Mo Youyou.
Their relationship was a natural progression, and with so many people witnessing it, Mo Youyou would definitely not refuse.
Further developments will proceed entirely according to Liu Dekai's plan.
"Dekai!"
Mo Youyou left home at 8 o'clock sharp and saw Liu Dekai waiting for her. She immediately went over and took his hand.
"Why didn't you go in to meet me? You could have said hello to Dad while you were there."
Creating opportunities for Liu Dekai to gain more exposure in front of his father was also a way for Mo Youyou to help him.
Liu Dekai has always enjoyed this tacit care, and it's not that he doesn't want to today, but he has more important things to do.
"We're not married yet, it's not appropriate for me to keep coming to your house like this."
"Why are you suddenly talking about marriage..." Mo Youyou was shy, slightly surprised, and then a slight ripple of emotion spread through her heart.
"We've been dating for a while now, Youyou. I'm serious about you. A relationship that doesn't involve marriage is just playing around!"
"Of course I've thought about our future."
That's so well said, there's not a single fault to be found.
Mo Youyou was overjoyed by the flattery.
The two walked hand in hand in the courtyard as usual, until they reached their familiar path.
"Hey, why are there so many roses on the ground ahead?"
A woman's intuition is sometimes inexplicable. Mo Youyou thought of the word "marriage" that Liu Dekai had mentioned earlier, and she had a guess in her mind.
She waited quietly.
"How about we walk forward and take a look?" Liu Dekai suggested.
“Okay,” Mo Youyou agreed.
Just as Liu Dekai had envisioned, when the meticulously arranged proposal scene he had set up was revealed further ahead, Mo Youyou was so surprised that she couldn't move.
When the main character makes their appearance, the supporting characters who are there to help out naturally have to do their part as well.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu," a teammate came over and handed Liu Dekai a hidden red rose, "You have to keep it up!"
"This is..." Mo Youyou covered her mouth in surprise, stunned by the sight before her.
In the garden, a heart made of candles flickers in the candlelight.
The surrounding area was completely covered with delicate rose petals.
This was the proposal she had always dreamed of!
When they went on dates and watched movies together, the male lead proposed to the female lead in this way on the big screen, and she told Liu Dekai that she liked it very much. She didn't expect that he would remember it so carefully.
And they actually helped her achieve it!
At this moment, Mo Youyou felt truly happy.
"Youyou." Liu Dekai took Mo Youyou's hand and led her into that heart.
"Youyou, will you marry me?"
Liu Dekai knelt on one knee, presented the bouquet of roses to Mo Youyou with one hand, and took out a ring from his pocket with the other, sincerely holding it up in front of Mo Youyou.
Mo Youyou intertwined her fingers and rested them on her chin, gazing at Liu Dekai's handsome face in the flickering candlelight...
"Yes, I'm willing!" she nodded repeatedly.
"Congratulations, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu!"
Congratulations, Comrade Mo!
"Why are you still calling me Comrade Mo? You should call me Sister-in-law!"
The moment Mo Youyou nodded in agreement, a huge cheer erupted from the crowd, all cheering and offering their blessings to the newlyweds.
Hearing the title "sister-in-law" filled Mo Youyou with satisfaction.
From the moment she started dating Liu Dekai, she loved hearing others call her that. Although she would always pretend to be serious and tell people not to joke about it, she actually loved it.
Now, this title of "sister-in-law" is perfectly legitimate.
"Youyou, don't worry, I will definitely love you and take good care of you, and make you the happiest woman." Liu Dekai made the promise, and at the same time, a weight was lifted from his heart.
But he knew he couldn't let his guard down yet.
"I know, of course I'm worried..." Mo Youyou said coquettishly, "Get up quickly, what kind of image is it to kneel like this in front of everyone!"
Men value their reputation most when they're out in public, and she gave Liu Dekai plenty of face.
He withdrew his hand, admiring the ring on his ring finger over and over, so happy that he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.
