Chapter 500 500 Proposal
Mother Lei rolled her eyes at Lei Ting and sighed helplessly.
I looked at the watch and found that it was only two minutes until New Year's Day.
He quickly said to Lei Ting: "The time is almost up, hurry up and wake up your sister."
Lei Ting had no choice but to turn around and call Leng Ning.
"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning--" Lei Ting called softly, shaking Leng Ning's shoulder.
Leng Ning frowned and waved Lei Ting's hand away.
"Xiao Ning, get up." After glancing at his mother's frowning face, Lei Ting shook Leng Ning again.
Seeing that his mother was about to stand up and call for help, Lei Ting had no choice but to increase his strength again.
This time Leng Ning finally woke up.
"Brother!" Leng Ning was a little angry when he saw that it was Lei Ting who woke him up.
"It's no use calling you big brother! It's almost twelve o'clock, cheer up!" Lei's mother finally stood up and said something for her son.
Leng Ning then remembered about staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, and quickly responded, "Oh."
Before the end of the world, they also stayed up every year to celebrate the New Year. Tonight, she drank a little too much and couldn't control her sleepiness.
"Let's go. I asked Lao Liang to prepare the lanterns. Let's go and light them." Lei's mother stood up.
The brother and sister looked at each other and stood up.
When we walked into the yard, the air outside suddenly dropped.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the ground was already covered in silver.
Because the ground was covered with snow, the surroundings seemed a little bright.
Uncle Liang sent a Kongming lantern.
Then he used a lighter to light the paraffin underneath.
Each member of the Lei family held the top of the Kongming lantern and let the flame below heat the air inside the lantern.
"Okay, make a wish." Lei Mu said in a deep voice.
Then he closed his eyes first.
Leng Ning glanced at Lei Ting and then closed his eyes.
Lei Ting looked at the two women in front of him whom he cherished most in his life, and his heart was filled with happiness.
After a moment, he closed his eyes as well.
He has only one wish, which is to make his mother and Xiaoning's wish come true.
After Lei Mu and Leng Ning made their wishes, they opened their eyes and found Lei Ting looking at them with a gentle expression.
"Brother, what wish did you make?" Leng Ning asked curiously.
The air in the Kongming lantern had not yet been heated to a high enough temperature. Leng Ning was bored, so he asked Lei Ting.
It was like this every year. Every time she opened her eyes after making a wish, her elder brother's eyes were open. She even suspected that her elder brother had not made a wish at all.
Mother Lei also looked at Lei Ting.
"It won't work if you say it out loud." Lei Ting said with a slight smile.
Leng Ning's face flashed with disappointment. "In ancient times, some people wrote their wishes directly on lanterns. How come it doesn't work when you say it out loud? Brother, you didn't make a wish, did you?"
Doesn't he have any wishes to make?
Although this thing looks a bit stupid, but sometimes people have to have the mentality of trying, right?
She had made a wish, hoping to be with her brother forever? Didn't he have such a wish?
Thinking of this possibility, Leng Ning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Mother Lei also looked at Lei Ting.
"It will come true if you say it out loud. I'm also curious about what wish you made." Then he said directly.
It would have been better if Xiao Ning didn't say anything. Now she realizes that her son seemed not to have really made a wish.
The custom of flying Kongming lanterns every year during the New Year's Eve in their family was formed after she and Lei Ting's father got married.
In other words, it was a New Year event specially set up by Lei Ting's father to please her.
Over the years, when his father was around, no matter how busy he was, he would come back to stay up with her and Lei Ting and fly Kongming lanterns.
After his father passed away, she continued this activity with her son and daughter.
On the one hand, he expressed his longing for the New Year, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to remember Thunder's father.
She knew that her son had always been very filial, but she was a little too serious about this matter.
Lei Ting looked at Leng Ning and Lei Mu and saw that they were both looking at him, as if they cared a lot.
Finally he said, "I have only had one wish."
The two of them looked more curious.
"That is to hope that your wish will come true." Lei Ting sighed.
The two women were stunned for a moment.
My heart is filled with emotion.
"It has always been - this wish?" Leng Ning asked Lei Ting in shock. Why is Big Brother so kind? ...
"Yeah." Lei Ting replied.
Mother Lei suddenly let go of her hands, and then her two hands covered the backs of Lei Ting and Leng Ning's hands respectively.
"Mom's wish is that you can get married as soon as possible so that our family can live a good life." Then her face was full of sighs.
Lei Ting and Leng Ning were stunned.
Then, Lei Ting looked at Leng Ning, with a doting look in his eyes.
"Xiao Ning, what is your wish?" Then, he asked Leng Ning before Lei Mu spoke.
"I——" Leng Ning was speechless for a moment.
Lei Mu also looked at Leng Ning, very curious about Leng Ning's wish.
"Haha, let's not talk about it anymore--" Leng Ning's cheeks turned red and she laughed.
How embarrassing it was for her to express her wish.
Seeing Leng Ning's look, Lei's mother was puzzled for a moment and then smiled.
As smart as she is, she has already guessed it.
"It's almost done, let's release the lantern." Leng Ning hurriedly said, realizing that the air inside the Kongming lantern had been heated to the ideal temperature.
Mother Lei glanced at Leng Ning and finally took back what she was about to say.
Then, he asked his son and daughter to cooperate with him to release the Kongming lantern.
In the night sky, the Kongming lantern slowly rises and then floats away, carrying the wishes of the whole family away.
The three of them stood in the snow for a long time, and only came back to their senses when the Kongming lanterns floated out of the range of the Thunder Base.
Lei's mother turned around and prepared to ask her son and daughter to go back to the house. Unexpectedly -
"Xiao Ning——" Lei Ting suddenly called Leng Ning.
When Lei's mother turned around, she saw her son kneeling on one knee in front of her daughter, holding an exquisite wedding ring in his hand.
Leng Ning was obviously shocked as well, and was completely dazed.
"Xiao Ning, will you marry me?" Lei Ting looked into Leng Ning's eyes and said.
A smile immediately appeared on Lei Mu's face.
The Kongming Lantern Wishes really work! They came true so quickly!
This is what a good son of hers should have done a long time ago!
"Brother——" Leng Ning's heart was beating fast.
Propose? Isn't that too fast?!
"I have kept my original promise, and now it's a new year." Lei Ting said seriously.
Leng Ning's face turned red like an apple. Promise?
She almost forgot about it. She had told her eldest brother at the beginning that they had to wait until the Chinese New Year to announce their relationship. As for taking it a step further, she never mentioned it at all.
Big brother, he is so impatient.
What should I do? She felt so happy now! But did she really agree to it?
She's not ready to get married yet.
"Xiao Ning, now in front of our mother, I solemnly ask you to marry me. Let me love you, cherish you, and take care of you for the rest of my life." Lei Ting continued, successfully pulling Lei's mother in.
He had been preparing for this proposal for a long time, and he had thought over and over again about the occasion for the proposal.
With his mother around, there is absolutely no way he can fail.
