Chapter 10: Jasmine Tea
On Shen Qingci's birthday, Gu Yanchen said mysteriously that he wanted to give her a surprise.
He had made a reservation in advance at an elegant private restaurant and even had Shen Qingci wear the light blue silk scarf he had given her. In the evening, Gu Yanchen drove to pick her up, dressed in a suit and tie, looking even more handsome and serious than usual.
"Is today a special day?" Shen Qingci looked at him dressed up carefully, feeling a little confused and expectant.
"You'll know when you get there." Gu Yanchen smiled but didn't answer. He just reached out and rubbed her hair.
The private restaurant is located in a quiet alley. Its decoration is simple and elegant, full of the charm of the Jiangnan water town. The private room that Gu Yanchen reserved is right next to the window, and he can see the small pond and the flowing water outside.
The dishes were quickly served, all of which were Shen Qingci's favorites. Gu Yanchen kept serving her food, his eyes so gentle they could drip with tears.
"Happy birthday, Qingci." Halfway through the meal, Gu Yanchen suddenly raised his glass and said, "With this glass of wine, I wish you eternal happiness and beauty."
Shen Qingci was stunned for a moment before realizing that today was her birthday. She was touched, her eyes slightly red. "Thank you, Yan Chen. I almost forgot."
"How could I forget your birthday?" Gu Yanchen looked at her and said seriously, "Qingci, knowing you is the greatest luck in my life. Every day with you, I feel very happy."
He paused, took a deep breath, took out a velvet box from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the box nervously.
Gu Yanchen held her hand, his eyes sincere. "Qingci, I know it might be a little early, but I really want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you... be my girlfriend?"
Although they had already confirmed their feelings, this formal confession and inquiry still made Shen Qingci very excited. She nodded vigorously, and finally couldn't hold back her tears and said: "I do, Yan Chen, I do!"
Gu Yanchen was overjoyed. He opened the velvet box and found that it was not a diamond ring, but a pair of small and exquisite silver earrings in the shape of jasmine tea. The earrings were very unique in design, with a small jasmine flower that was lifelike and a small pearl hanging below.
"I know you like tea and the scent of jasmine." Gu Yanchen picked up an earring and carefully put it on her. "This pair of earrings is just like you, fresh and elegant, fascinating."
Shen Qingci touched the earrings beside her ears, her heart filled with sweetness. She knew that although these earrings were not expensive jewels, they carried Gu Yanchen's full love.
"Thank you, Yanchen, I like it very much."
Seeing her happy face, Gu Yanchen also smiled brightly. He poured her a cup of tea, which was jasmine tea made from fresh jasmine flowers and green tea.
The tea soup was clear and bright, exuding a rich and refreshing jasmine fragrance. Shen Qingci took a sip, it was sweet and refreshing, and the aroma lingered in his mouth for a long time.
"This jasmine tea is just like our feelings, fresh and sweet." Gu Yanchen held her hand, "Qingci, I will spend my whole life loving and caring for you."
Shen Qingci leaned on Gu Yanchen's shoulder, smelling his unique scent of tobacco and tea mixed together, and her heart was filled with a sense of security and happiness.
She knew that from this moment on, her life would be closely linked to Gu Yanchen's. And this relationship, as fresh and sweet as jasmine tea, would blossom into an even more charming brilliance under their careful care.
