☆, Chapter 83: Confession
After finishing the meal, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Gu Ran was about to go home, but after getting in the car, he found that Bai Yifan was driving in the opposite direction.
"Aren't you going back?" Gu Ran asked.
"There's an observatory nearby. The moon is very round tonight, and the starry sky is nice too. You can go over and take a look."
Bai Yifan stopped at a red light and turned to ask, "Are you interested?"
"Yes!" Gu Ran's favorite thing is the starry sky.
Perhaps because office workers are not even free in soul, she had always longed for the romance of the stars and the sea in her previous life.
The universe is so big, so vast, and there are so many unknowns...
Focusing on these things can help her temporarily forget the little troubles in front of her.
She also spent over a thousand dollars to buy an astronomical telescope, but unfortunately, a telescope at that price could only see the moon.
Gu Ran rubbed his hands excitedly, "That's great! Do observatories have those powerful telescopes that can see planets? We can't see those that are too far away, but we can see Mars and Saturn, right?"
"I haven't observed at the observatory in City A, but it should be possible. Local observatories are all similar. The observatory in City C can see a few planets, but they are not very large, so you can only see their general outlines."
Bai Yifan didn't know much about astronomy. He made this suggestion only because he was very happy tonight and felt a little unsatisfied, so he wanted to spend more time with Gu Ran.
I didn't expect Gu Ran to be so interested.
"The astronomical observatory in City S is very famous. It's located on a very high mountain. I heard the observation effect is very good. I'll take you there when I have time."
"Okay!" Gu Ran agreed happily.
Now that she has money, she can do many things that interest her in the future.
The two chatted as they drove up the mountain.
The observatory in City A is not very high and the road is very flat. There are few traffic lights and no traffic jams along the way from the restaurant, so it only takes an hour to get there.
Bai Yifan drove the car all the way to the top of the mountain, and there was still a few hundred meters to go after getting off the car.
Bai Yifan took the spare coat from the car and put it on Gu Ran after getting out.
"Dress warmly, don't catch a cold."
"Thank you, Brother Bai." Gu Ran was eager to go, and couldn't wait any longer. "Is the car locked? Shall we go up now?"
"Let's go." Bai Yifan said.
The weather is nice tonight, with no clouds in the sky and the wind is not cold. The gentle breeze makes people feel very comfortable.
Gu Ran looked up to admire the brilliant night sky, and soon he arrived at the observatory. There was something that looked like a huge cannon barrel in Gu Ran's eyes.
This place is remote and there is no special astronomical phenomenon forecast recently, so no one else comes here to visit. There are only Gu Ran and Bai Yifan on the entire mountaintop.
The moon is very round and makes the surroundings very bright.
"What a big telescope, it should be able to see very far. Let me try it." Gu Ran rushed forward excitedly, taking two steps at a time.
"Slow down, don't fall." Bai Yifan grabbed her in time.
Gu Ran could only suppress his excitement and slowly walked up the stairs. The two of them held hands and walked shoulder to shoulder, suddenly feeling the romance of a walk under the moon.
After reaching the top, Gu Ran couldn't wait to set up the astronomical telescope and observe the moon in the sky first.
"It seems very far away." Gu Ran carefully adjusted the astronomical telescope.
"It might be an angle problem. Let me try." Bai Yifan came behind her.
Gu Ran moved aside, Bai Yifan came forward, took a look first, then reached out to adjust the focus and angle.
"This time it's almost done."
"Really!" Gu Ran leaned over to take a look and immediately felt the change. "The moon is so big, even the craters are so clear."
"Look for Mars. It should be the bright one, right?"
"I saw Mars. What a clear little round ball! This astronomical telescope is really useful."
Gu Ran changed the angle, and Bai Yifan's hand never left her body, helping her adjust the distance.
Gu Ran looked at it for a while, then moved aside to let Bai Yifan see it.
The two were very close, and Bai Yifan was almost hugging Gu Ran from behind, but Gu Ran, whose mind was on the stars, did not notice.
Or rather, even if I noticed it, I wouldn't care.
Bai Yifan suddenly felt that it was time.
He is a person who likes to strictly follow the plan. He has decided to confirm the relationship on Chinese Valentine's Day and will not change it easily. He has also instructed his assistant to make reservations for the restaurants that will host the fireworks.
But... the atmosphere now is so good, everything is so appropriate and just right.
It seems like it’s okay to deviate from the plan once.
Love is inherently impulsive and romantic. If every step is followed according to plan, then what is the difference between this and the marriage he rejects?
So, it's now.
Bai Yifan confirmed this idea in just a moment.
Gu Ran had just finished looking at the nearest few planets and felt quite unsatisfied. "It's really beautiful. When I think about the fact that the small planet we are looking at is actually larger than the Earth we live on, I can feel the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of human beings."
After sighing, Gu Ran noticed that Bai Yifan seemed to be distracted, so he leaned forward and said, "It seems to be getting late. Should we go back?"
She thought Bai Yifan was sleepy.
But Bai Yifan was not sleepy at all, and felt that he would probably have difficulty falling asleep tonight.
He reached out and pushed the telescope away a little, then lifted Gu Ran's shoulders so that she was facing him, and said seriously, "Ranran."
"Ah?" It was the first time that Bai Yifan called her like that, and Gu Ran was a little confused.
Ranran…it feels a bit intimate.
No one in the Gu family calls her that.
"I was originally planning to do it on Chinese Valentine's Day, but it's also nice to say it now. I think saying it now will make me happier." Bai Yifan raised the corners of his lips unconsciously.
"You say." Gu Ran unconsciously became serious.
Bai Yifan rarely gets so formal, so what he wants to say must be very important.
"I think the understanding we've had with each other these days is enough. From now on, I hope we can date with the intention of getting married. I know how you feel, and I like you very much."
Bai Yifan doesn't have much romantic talent and no relevant love experience. His confession was sincere, direct, simple, and got straight to the point.
Gu Ran was confused and stared at the other person blankly.
Marriage? Dating? Love? Affection?
I understand these words individually, but when they are combined together, I don’t understand them.
Is that what I mean?
Mr. Bai, this is...
However, without giving her much time to react, Bai Yifan suddenly lowered his head.
[Wait! Is this what I thought? Is Mr. Bai confessing his feelings?]
[No, when did this happen? Why did he suddenly confess his feelings? Is he trying to say he likes me?]
[I didn't even notice. Didn't he just confess? Why is he so close...]
[Getting closer...Is he going to kiss me?]
Gu Ran was completely dumbfounded, his brain froze, and he watched Bai Yifan getting closer and closer, but he was unable to react.
