"This is?"
Zhou Pin pulled Xu Lin to the center, where the two faced each other. Zhou Pin took out a ring from his pocket and knelt down on one knee.
"Xu Lin, today marks our one-year anniversary. We've been through so much together in the past year, from torrential rains and extreme cold to the current scorching heat. We've also supported each other through our initial acquaintance, growing to know each other, and falling in love. You are brave, kind, calm, wise, and humorous—everything about you deeply attracts me. The apocalypse has begun, with various natural and man-made disasters striking one after another. There may be even greater challenges ahead. I've already told you about my family situation. Would you be willing to give me a chance to face these challenges with you?"
Wang Jing, leaning against Zheng Ming, was moved to tears, but Xu Lin, the person involved, was not excited. She thought for two minutes and then nodded.
"I do."
The moment Xu Lin finished speaking those three words, Zhou Pin's shoulders relaxed, he put the ring on Xu Lin's ring finger, then stood up and hugged Xu Lin tightly.
Congratulations!
"May you have a son soon, oops, may you be united in heart forever." Zheng Ming and Wang Jing didn't plan to have children, and guessed that Xu Lin and Zhou Pin probably wouldn't have children in the apocalypse either.
Old Zheng, Aunt Ning, and Dr. Dai all looked at Zhou Pin and Xu Lin with satisfaction.
Xiang Qing was extremely excited: "That's great! That's great!"
After calming themselves down, Zhou Pin led everyone to the living room, put the "bride price" on the dining table aside, and brought out eight dishes and a soup from the kitchen.
Looking at the delicious-looking dishes on the table, Xu Lin seemed to understand why Zhou Pin insisted on attending Zheng Ming and Wang Jing's wedding.
I found the reasons for many things that I hadn't noticed before.
"Old Zhou started planning as soon as we arrived at the base, asking us about our customs. He finally succeeded in proposing today. It wasn't easy!" Zheng Ming said, patting Zhou Pin on the shoulder with emotion.
"You've put so much effort into this, but you don't seem as excited as I am," Wang Jing asked Xu Lin.
"Why get excited about something that's already been decided?"
"Oh~ Zhou Pin has him completely under her thumb."
Since they were all from Hong Kong, they inevitably talked about their experiences in Hong Kong and their neighbors there.
"I wonder how the neighbors in Jinxiu Garden are doing," Wang Jing said.
“Sun Wei has family members working in important departments, so I think we might bring them over,” Dr. Dai said.
"If only they all came, we could fight side by side again," Wang Jing said.
“Even if they come, they might not team up with us. Let nature take its course,” Zheng Ming said.
Zheng Ming now works in the supply department, lives with his parents, and his girlfriend has become his wife. As a married man, he has matured.
When we were in the port city, it was extremely cold. Everyone stayed at home and didn't go out. When they did go out, it was to look for supplies. There was little communication with the people around them, and there were almost no legal constraints.
Now that we've arrived at the base, the management is fairly standardized. Everyone lives quite close together, and people come and go every day to work or find supplies, so forming teams isn't very convenient.
The group reminisced about their past experiences in the port city, and after a moment of sighing, Zheng Ming promptly changed the subject, discussing their visions for the future.
"Now that the weather is gradually returning to normal and life is gradually getting back on track, we've all found jobs at the base. The future is bright, so let's not dwell on the past," Zheng Ming said optimistically.
"Didn't Linlinzi say before that there might be other disasters? The officials have said that this is the apocalypse," Wang Jing said, frowning.
