Li Xian was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
Xu Nuo sniffed and reached out to push him: "Go get the ring."
Li Xian stared at her intently, his eyes suddenly bursting with dazzling sparks, so bright they seemed to burn.
"Okay... I'll be right there."
He stood up and ran to his room. This usually composed man almost tripped and fell because of his haste.
Xu Nuo reminded him from behind, "Be careful."
Li Xian returned quickly.
The last rays of the setting sun streamed in through the window.
The two were dressed simply, standing in front of a table of leftovers.
There were no flowers, no balloons, and no romantic ceremony.
There was no moving music either.
This was completely different from what Xu Nuo had imagined.
She used to think that marriage was a major life event, and so was the proposal, so it should have a romantic ceremony, be witnessed by relatives and friends, and have an expensive ring.
Anyway, no matter what it is, it won't be like this now.
But at this moment, the man stood before her with red eyes.
He looked at her intently.
The hand holding the ring trembled slightly with nervousness.
Xu Nuo felt that there was nothing more romantic in the world.
It was so romantic that she wanted to cry.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand, which he immediately grasped tightly.
Perhaps it was too sudden, the two of them were inexplicably nervous, their hands trembling slightly as they clasped together.
Li Xian's face was serious, his eyes filled with earnestness, as he said to her, "Nuonuo, I'm not good with words, and I may not be able to say many nice things, but I will learn. I will love you for a lifetime, cook for you, wash your clothes, coax you, cherish you, treat you well, and listen to you."
Xu Nuo's sobs hadn't completely stopped when she reached out and touched his cheek: "Li Xian, I'm a bit lazy, and I can't cook. Sometimes I even get angry with you, but I won't be a bad woman. I'll always be your housekeeper, managing your money and taking care of you."
"good."
The moment the ring was put on, Xu Nuo burst into laughter through her tears, holding up her hand to compare it to his, and said coquettishly, "You, why did you buy me such a big one, and yourself such a small one?"
Li Xian held her hand tightly, his eyes moist: "The big one looks good, it suits you."
Xu Nuo curled the corners of her lips and suddenly spoke, her voice so sweet it made one's heart tremble: "Husband."
The man paused for a moment.
"Shout it again."
"Honey~"
"Nuonuo, call again."
Xu Nuo reached out and hugged him: "Husband, husband, husband~ I will love you forever, have your baby, and then we will raise him together and send him to school. If it is a boy, we will marry him a beautiful wife, and if it is a girl, we will find him a handsome husband, okay?"
Li Xian hugged the person tightly: "Okay."
Xu Nuo said, "Li Xian, we're family now."
Outside the window, insects chirped and the wind rustled, while birds soared and circled.
True love will surely lead to marriage.
…
Xu Nuo was supposed to get up the next day to pack Li Xian's luggage, but unfortunately, the delicate flower was too ravaged by the dazzling lights last night, and she was lying on the bed groaning in the morning.
Her eyes were red and swollen, making her look even more pitiful.
Li Xian held her and comforted her for a while, kissed her cheek, and sighed softly, "I really want to take you with me."
Yesterday, Xu Nuo was thinking that she could play to her heart's content after Li Xian left. Now that he was really leaving, she felt reluctant to part with him. Her big eyes were red, and she snuggled into his arms, saying, "Then take me with you. I can't bear to part with you, sob sob."
Li Xian looked down at him, his dark eyes piercing: "Really?"
Xu Nuo nodded, crying miserably, "But you have to apply for the plane tickets in advance, right? It's definitely too late now."
Li Xian hugged the person and said firmly, "There's still time."
"ah?"
So Xu Nuo was groggily picked up to brush her teeth and wash her face, and watched Li Xian pack her luggage while she ate breakfast.
Originally, Li Xian only had a small duffel bag containing a few changes of clothes.
Half an hour later, Li Xian was carrying a large box filled with Xu Nuo's beautiful dresses.
Xu Nuo was carried into the car in a daze.
It was truly a spontaneous and thrilling trip.
but.
Sitting on the plane, Xu Nuo asked the man next to her, puzzled, "How did you know I would definitely come? You even bought me a plane ticket in advance."
Li Xian coughed lightly, his face slightly flushed: "Just in case."
Xu Nuo snorted, "They just kidnapped me like that, making me skip more than ten days of classes. What if I fail a course and can't graduate?"
Li Xian shook his head seriously: "No."
Xu Nu patted him: "Of course you can. Taking a leave of absence counts as missing class."
Li Xian took her small hand in his own: "I know the principal. I'll plead for you, and so will your teachers."
Without batting an eye, he said, "I'll bribe her."
"If they don't accept it, are you going to threaten them?"
Li Xian nodded: "We can do that when necessary."
Xu Nuo found it both funny and infuriating. When she moved around, she twisted her waist and winced from the soreness.
Upon seeing this, Li Xian consciously picked up the thermos on the small table, unscrewed it, fed it to her lips, and apologized to her: "I was wrong."
Xu Nuo made a "yum" sound and took two big gulps, feeling her whole body enveloped in a comfortable warmth.
Li Xian looked at her with heartache: "Does it still hurt?"
Xu Nuo glared at him and said, "What do you think?"
She reached out and pulled him over, then bit him on the neck.
A small tooth mark was left.
"I forgive you."
The flight attendant who came to deliver the meals strolled past without changing her expression, as if she hadn't seen anything.
After passing through first class, she blushed and whispered to the others, "That man, I think he's the one in the newspaper."
"That's him. The woman next to her must be his wife. I didn't realize they were already married."
How did you know you were married?
"Didn't you see that woman's hand? It's huge."
Xu Nuo can sleep anywhere; she closed her eyes on the plane and took a nap.
William, sitting in the back, leaned over and asked Li Xian, "Li, are we going straight to Fragrant Hills?"
Li Xian made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Let's have a meeting first, we'll go tomorrow."
William understood that it would take another half a day by car to get to Fragrant Hills, and it would probably be midnight before they got back to the city.
Xu Nuo opened her eyes and asked softly, "Have we arrived?"
Li Xian patted her shoulder reassuringly: "No, go to sleep."
"Hmm." Xu Nuo closed her eyes, wanting to sleep, but couldn't fall asleep, so she simply sat up and ate the fruit from the airplane meal.
She took a bite of the cantaloupe: "So sweet."
Li Xian's piece remained untouched, and he placed it in front of her along with the plastic wrap. Xu Nu smiled and slowly ate both pieces.
As she ate, she asked, "Do you have any plans for today?"
Seeing that she was eating happily, Li Xian couldn't help but smile and shook his head at her: "No."
She chewed and chewed like a little hamster, swallowing it all before saying, "Then I'm going to eat something delicious."
Li Xian took a tissue and wiped her mouth, then nodded: "Okay, when we get there you should take a nap."
The plane landed half an hour later.
