Chapter 271: Your Dowry
"A gift?" Ye Wanxi paused slightly as she touched her belly, then looked up at Feng Tianyu.
Feng Tianyu noticed her expectation and took her hand: "Yes, it's on the rooftop. Do you want to go up and see it?"
"want!"
Ye Wanxi happily followed Feng Tianyu to the top floor, completely unaware that her senior brother glanced at someone in a certain direction as they went upstairs.
To Ye Wanxi's surprise, the rooftop at night was a particularly beautiful glass greenhouse, filled with many flowers and plants.
But what was placed in the most conspicuous spot were several pots of fresh and vibrant... osmanthus flowers.
Ye Wanxi walked over and circled the potted plants, seemingly sensing something, and said, "That bouquet of flowers you gave me, it wouldn't be..."
"It was picked from here."
Ye Wanxi suddenly realized, and looked at the potted flowers with a smile.
Feng Tianyu: "Do you like it?"
"like."
"It's yours."
"These potted plants?" Ye Wanxi blinked and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll have someone send them to my place when I get back."
She was already starting to think about how many osmanthus cakes could be made from so many fresh osmanthus flowers. Should she save them to make more cakes, or make a larger batch and have her senior brother take them to the company so that others could also try them?
"It's not flowers, it's this greenhouse."
"Huh?" Ye Wanxi was stunned, and it took her a while to realize what Feng Tianyu meant. "You mean you want to give me this greenhouse as a gift?"
"Hmm, you don't like it?"
"It's not that I don't like it, but isn't it too expensive?"
Feng Tianyu curled the corners of his mouth: "Yuanyuan never cared about this before; she would accept whatever her senior brother gave her."
Ye Wanxi blushed. How could they be the same?
At that time, she treated her senior brother as an older brother and family member. Every time he went out, he would bring her small gifts, and she would be the first person he thought of when she made something delicious.
Now that I have an additional identity, I feel like it's the same as before, yet it also feels different.
Feng Tianyu seemed to know what she was thinking. He skillfully reached out and patted her head, chuckling softly, "Just like before, just like now. Does Senior Brother dislike Yuanyuan's distance from me, or does Yuanyuan dislike Senior Brother and intentionally want to distance herself from him?"
Ye Wanxi opened her mouth, about to explain, when she suddenly heard a loud noise from not far away.
Brilliant fireworks burst in the dark night sky, displaying a riot of colors and creating a lively, crackling sound.
Ye Wanxi's attention was instantly drawn to the beautiful fireworks overhead, their sparkling light filling her eyes with joy.
"Does it look good?"
"Beautiful." Ye Wanxi replied, then seemed to remember something and turned to look at Feng Tianyu, "Could these fireworks also be..."
"Hmm." Feng Tianyu pulled Ye Wanxi out of the flower room and looked at the fireworks in the sky. "Give me your hand."
Ye Wanxi looked puzzled, but still obediently stretched out her hand.
"A storage ring?"
Ye Wanxi looked at the little thing that had appeared in her palm with surprise.
Ye Wanxi had never seen this storage ring before, but compared to her own pitted and uneven storage ring that she had picked up from the mud, this storage ring was quite magnificent.
The platinum ring is set with a small, deep blue gemstone that sparkles under the light, resembling... a wedding ring.
"I prepared this gift a long time ago. I originally planned to give it to you as a birthday present when you turned eighteen."
Unfortunately, just a few days' difference resulted in a lifetime.
"This was... personally crafted by you, Senior Brother?"
"Um."
Is there anything inside?
"have."
Ye Wanxi's eyes brightened slightly, and she asked with some curiosity, "What is it?"
"bride price."
"What?" Ye Wanxi was completely stunned by Feng Tianyu's direct attack.
Feng Tianyu was amused by her stunned expression: "You heard me right, this contains all my savings from my past life, which I prepared as a betrothal gift for you."
Feng Tianyu always knew that his master treated Ye Wanxi like his own daughter and had a lot of opinions about him.
For this reason, Feng Tianyu had been saving money for a wife a long time ago, so that when his junior sister grew up, he could use these things to tell his master that he had enough ability to protect his junior sister and let her live a free, unrestrained and happy life.
“Yuanyuan, I want to be with you. Not as a senior brother and sister, not as a close friend, but as a Daoist partner. A Daoist partner that can only be one in a lifetime, to be together forever.”
Ye Wanxi's heart was thrown into turmoil, and her hand gripping the storage ring tightened unconsciously: "Senior Brother, are you... proposing to me?"
"And your answer?"
Ye Wanxi met Feng Tianyu's eyes, pursed her lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to be with you. In my past life, I always thought that I only regarded you as my senior brother, and that in my heart you were like the other senior brothers, my family, my brother."
"But it wasn't until I discovered that you liked me, not the kind of liking a man has for a woman, that I realized that in my heart, you were always different from the other senior brothers."
“I don’t mind if other senior students have girlfriends, I don’t care if another woman appears in their future lives and they grow old together, I’m even happy for them and happy that they have found their other half.”
"But I can't accept another woman in your life. I can't accept that one day in the future, you will be so affectionate and caring towards another woman. I can't accept that you will build a family, have children, and live a harmonious life together. Just thinking about it makes me so sad, my heart feels like it's about to break. So I think I must like you, and I must want to be with you."
"If there is one woman in this world who can stay by your side for a lifetime, then she must be me."
Feng Tianyu's eyes reddened slightly at Ye Wanxi's words. He gripped Ye Wanxi's hand tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Me too. If there is only one man in this world who can have you, then that man must be me!"
"Senior Brother... um..."
Before Ye Wanxi could finish speaking, Feng Tianyu kissed her.
On the spacious rooftop, the lights shone brightly and fireworks filled the air. The two hearts drew closer than ever before, so much so that everything seemed so natural and enviable.
The two, deeply engrossed in their kiss, were completely unaware that someone was secretly broadcasting their entire confession live from the shadows at the entrance to the rooftop.
"They kissed!!! Auntie, they kissed!" Du Yihuan's excited voice came from the other side of the phone, just like someone watching a drama and shipping a couple.
Mother Feng naturally saw this scene as well, and said with a mix of relief and pride, "This boy is quite promising, it wasn't for nothing that I waited all day."
