Chapter 85: Childhood sweethearts revisit old place and propose marriage



Liu Jingze opened the courtyard door, and the two walked in. Liu Jingze turned and closed the door. Su Tiantian looked around the courtyard. It didn't feel desolate or dirty at all. There were a few fallen leaves on the cement floor. The lemon tree was still there. On the left side of the courtyard was a row of sunflowers. They were quite tall and clustered together, their yellow petals stretched out to their full potential. The bright colors made people feel happy.

The flower bed on the right is planted with sunflowers. The small flowers are blooming hard. The sunflowers of various colors together are so beautiful.

Liu Jingze said: "Tiantian, Kang Jinming likes you."

Su Tiantian was a little surprised: "No way, Jin Ge has a daughter. I already told him clearly on the last blind date that he and I are just neighbors."

Liu Jingze said: "You can't doubt a man's intuition. Fortunately, you are my girlfriend now. He has wanted to compete with me for you since he was a child."

Su Tiantian said: "When I was little, I seldom played with Brother Jin."

Liu Jingze said, "Let's not talk about him. Look, although this old house is uninhabited, someone is hired to take care of it regularly. The lemon tree is still the same, but it has been pruned."

Su Tiantian said: "That lemon tree has been there for many years. Look, there are many lemon flowers. They are very beautiful."

Liu Jingze exuded a touch of sadness. "This lemon tree was planted by Mom. Dad was reluctant to cut it down, and neither was I. I remember when you were little you loved playing here with me. You'd draw a circle and you wouldn't walk out of it."

Su Tiantian looked at Liu Jingze who thought of his mother, and also thought of the gentle, beautiful and thoughtful woman who made clothes and egg custard for her when she was a child.

Liu Jingze grabbed Su Tiantian's hands and said, "Tiantian, marry me. I want to have a home with you. I really like you. The reason I couldn't sleep last night was because you were on my mind."

Su Tiantian was stunned. It was too sudden.

Liu Jingze's voice became hurried and flustered with anxiety, completely different from the gentle and calm tone he usually used in front of Su Tiantian. "I know a proposal requires a ring and flowers, and preferably a romantic setting, but I really can't help it. I hope to be with you for three meals a day, four seasons a year, and to grow old together."

Su Tiantian thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Jing, I like you too. You have all the qualities that I like. But don't you think it's too hasty to propose now? We've only been together for a few days."

Liu Jingze was anxious: "I regret that I missed so many years in vain. I don't want to wait any longer. You are my expectation for marriage. Tiantian, marry me. I will treat you well, just like when we were children. I will always treat you well." Liu Jingze's breath fell on Su Tiantian's face, and the hot breath almost swallowed Su Tiantian's sanity.

Su Tiantian looked up and met Liu Jingze's dark eyes. Those eyes were so deep that they made people obsessed and heartbroken. So she said, "I promise to marry you. My expectation for marriage is a stable life year after year. Brother Jing, you will always treat me well, right?"

Liu Jingze's expression was full of surprise. He smiled brightly, revealing his white, neat teeth. He changed the hand that was holding Su Tiantian's to hug Su Tiantian's waist, looked at Su Tiantian's red lips and kissed her. Suddenly, a warm touch came on her lips. Su Tiantian, who had never been kissed like this by a man, was stunned. The way she looked with her eyes open was so adorable. Liu Jingze struggled to control himself and let go of Su Tiantian.

Liu Jingze took a deep breath before saying, "Tiantian, the Lantern Festival is coming in a few days. Let's make an appointment to register for our marriage, okay?"

Su Tiantian didn't know whether to be surprised or shocked: "So fast?"

Liu Jingze said, "If the Civil Affairs Bureau wasn't closed today, if I didn't need my ID card, household registration booklet, and photo, if marriage wasn't such a big deal and required my parents' consent, I would have wanted to go register for marriage with you right now."

Liu Jingze stepped forward and took Su Tiantian's hand: "Tiantian, you won't regret it, right?"

Su Tiantian said: "No, but I haven't told my parents yet."

Liu Jingze said seriously: "Don't worry, marriage is a big deal, it's up to the parents and the matchmaker, I will definitely follow the traditional etiquette."

Liu Jingze was reluctant to let Su Tiantian go. He took her hand and walked to the door of the old house. He was so anxious just now that he proposed to Su Tiantian in the courtyard before even entering the house. He opened the door and said, "Tiantian, it's clean inside. Someone will come to clean it every few days. Come in and sit for a while. I'll call Dad to discuss our marriage."

Su Tiantian saw Liu Jingze making a phone call in the corner. After thinking about it, she sent a message to Su Zhihao: Zhihao, what should I do? I'm so confused. Brother Jing just proposed to me and I said yes. Su Zhihao, who was lying on the bed reading the message, almost jumped up. Li Yunling saw him like this in front of the dressing table and asked curiously: "What's wrong?" Su Zhihao said in shock: "Sister said that Brother Jing proposed to her and she said yes." Li Yunling was stunned. No way, it happened so quickly. These two people went on a blind date for only a few days.

Su Zhihao replied: Sister, are you really going to marry Liu Jingze?

Su Tiantian: Yes, he is calling Uncle Liu now to discuss our marriage. I haven’t told my parents yet.

Su Zhihao: I will go find my parents right now.

Su Zhihao put on his slippers and walked quickly towards the stairs, and Li Yunling hurriedly followed.

Liu Jingze, who had finished his call, walked over to Su Tiantian, his eyes full of smiles: "Dad said he's calling Uncle Su now and wants to visit tonight to discuss our marriage." Su Tiantian said, "I'm a little nervous." Liu Jingze kissed Su Tiantian on the forehead and said, "I'm the nervous one. I didn't prepare a ring and flowers when I proposed just now. I don't know if Uncle Su will blame me for not being sincere enough. I don't have time to buy a ring, I'll go buy it in a couple of days. This Guanyin jade pendant was left to me by my mother. She said it would be for her future daughter-in-law. I'm giving it to you now. I'm going to pick some flowers for you now."
