Chapter 157: This life is only given to this swan

Li Zhi's eyelashes suddenly trembled.

She lowered her eyes in surprise and looked at Lou Yanjing, and saw him lower his head and take off the Yi Zhong name card pinned on his chest.

Then he raised his chin.

Looking deeply into Li Zhi's eyes.

"I, Lou Yanjing, swear by heaven and earth to marry Li Zhi, monitor of Class 1, Grade 2014, Yicheng No. 1 Middle School."

Seeing this, the live broadcast room suddenly became restless.

Ji Tang, who designed this atmosphere, did not expect such a romantic thing to happen. She just had an inspiration and wanted to bring a surprise of campus memories to Jingzhi Yuye.

But Lou Yanjing knelt on one knee and proposed to her.

Ji Tang couldn't help but cover his mouth and screamed softly, trying not to disturb the two parties involved.

"Help! How romantic!" she cried.

That moment.

As Lou Yanjing's knees touched the ground, a cluster of small fireworks seemed to explode in Li Zhi's brain.

She was a little dazed.

When she lowered her head, she met the man's dark and burning eyes.

Lou Yanjing was born with a very good appearance. In the deep eye sockets under wide eyelids, his eyes seemed to be burning with sparks, as if they had traveled through time and space from eight years ago.

Just like that day under the outer wall of Yicheng No. 1 Middle School.

He opened his arms to her, and while he was teaching her to climb over the wall, he looked up at her with his sharp, smooth jawline.

Only now.

His youthful sharpness has matured.

The rebellious boy who once disliked wearing school uniforms was now kneeling in front of her in a suit and tie.

Lou Yanjing's eyes were slightly red.

His Adam's apple moved, and he looked at Li Zhi deeply: "Zhi Zhi, I have rehearsed the scene of proposing to you countless times in my dreams since I was a teenager."

"The ending in my dream is always perfect. You will listen to my vows, put on my ring, hold flowers and wear a white wedding dress, appear at my wedding as a bride, and firmly and happily tell everyone that you are willing."

"But after I open my eyes, I always find that dreams are just dreams. The girl I love can't see me, and her heart has already been given to another man."

Li Zhi's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She looked back at Lou Yanjing with clear eyes, and couldn't help looking up again, and quickly swallowed back the tears that were about to fall.

"I never thought about that—"

Lou Yanjing squinted at the name card in his hand and chuckled helplessly, "My real proposal was not with a diamond ring, but with a few-dollar name card."

Ji Tang was knocking his head against the wall and was dizzy.

She couldn't help but scream outside the venue: "Lou Yanjing! You've given your wife enough diamonds! The unwavering eight-year secret love since school days is more eternal than diamonds!"

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing at Ji Tang's amusement.

She moved the bouquet upwards and held it in front of her face to hide the tears that welled up in her eyes as she cried and laughed.

The sun is shining brightly.

The diamond ring she had already worn on her left ring finger and the swan diamond crown on her head also emitted endless brilliant light as she moved and swayed slightly.

"But I still want to use this name card to propose to you."

Lou Yanjing stroked the school badge with her name on it with her fingertips, her voice choked with sobs and low voice: "Because, the man named Lou Yanjing has loved her since he was a teenager at Yicheng No. 1 Middle School."

"It's just that he didn't have the opportunity when he was a teenager."

"It wasn't until he was an adult, eight years later, that he was finally able to ask her openly if she was willing."

Li Zhi's eyes were hot.

The tears that had been held back for a long time could no longer be held back, and when she heard Lou Yanjing's proposal words after words, the tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"Lizhi, I love you."

Lou Yanjing's eyes turned red: "Although we have already obtained the marriage certificate, I still want to give you the proposal ceremony."

"Let's end our battle friendship."

"I'm tired of being called a good buddy. For the rest of my life, I just want to be with you as a husband."

"You know I'm afraid of birds."

"But on that autumn night, I caught a glimpse of a swan named Lizhi, who caught my eye and made me happy for many years."

Lou Yanjing held her slender white fingers.

As his Adam's apple moved, his sexy voice was filled with a choking hoarseness: "Lizhi, marry me."

"Would you like to give me a chance?"

"Let me—"

"I give my whole life to this swan."

"I love you, Lizhi, I love you. Will you marry me?"

Li Zhi's mind had already gone blank.

She only felt a noise in her ears, as if someone was screaming. But she couldn't hear what they were shouting, and her mind was filled with every word of Lou Yanjing.

Tears are still falling.

Lou Yanjing's heart was tense, and his eyes, which had always been sharp and unruly, were slightly red at the corners, as if tears were brewing in his eye sockets.

"Don't cry."

He raised his hand to touch Lizhi's face, but even with his superior stature, he couldn't reach her face when he was kneeling on one knee. He could only gently knead her fingers.

The back of his palm, with its veins pulsating, caught her falling tears, and his eyes were boiling: "Didn't we agree that Miss Zhizhi would never shed little pearls."

But Li Zhi couldn't hold back her tears.

Her lips were slightly parted, and every time she wanted to speak, Lou Yanjing's words would make her emotions surge again, choking her breath and making her speak incoherently. She simply couldn't express what she wanted fluently.

Lou Yanjing was almost driven crazy by her.

He wanted to wipe her tears and comfort her, but he didn't hear any response from her, and he couldn't stand up on his own.

"I hate it so much..."

Li Zhi's breathing finally became smooth. She sniffed softly, "You proposed without a diamond ring, and you didn't even allow me to give you some pearls as a replacement."

Lou Yanjing immediately squeezed Li Zhi's hand.

He was afraid that she would find an excuse to say she didn't want to marry him because she didn't have the diamond this time: "I'll give it to you. There's still one missing from the nine diamond rings we agreed on. I'll definitely give it to you."

But Li Zhi was clearly joking.

People often use diamond rings when proposing.

Because diamonds are hard and represent eternity.

Lou Yanjing had given her countless diamonds, diamond high heels, diamond crowns, and those eight diamond rings.

But Li Zhi knew——

If you propose, you must have a token of promise to last forever.

Well, there is nothing in this world that is more solid than Lou Yanjing's eight-year secret love.

From Yicheng No. 1 Middle School to "Sweet Traveler".

From Lou Yanjing, a student in Class 1, Grade 2014, to Lou Yanjing, the heir of the Kyoto Lou family.

From guarding boundaries to crossing boundaries.

From pinky ring to wedding ring.

Not all proposals require a diamond ring.

Li Zhi was willing to accept his name card.

"I do." She tried to calm her breathing and spoke, bending the ring finger that was already wearing a diamond ring and looking into Lou Yanjing's eyes, "Lou Yanjing, I do."
