Lu Ziyao and Huo Siyan have already met each other's parents, and both families have a certain urgency and ideas about when to get married.
After Lu's mother suggested that both sets of parents should arrange to meet for dinner, this idea coincided with that of Huo's father and mother.
So soon, the two parents made an appointment to have dinner together and had a great conversation.
Neither party has any special requirements for each other. They just hope that their two children can be happy and that being good to each other is enough.
There are no other special requirements.
The main reason is that both families have good conditions and there is no need to discuss material matters in advance. Anyway, no one talks about the other.
Even if they get married, they are a family, so why do they need to make such clear distinctions?
During this meal, the parents of both families really felt like they had met a close friend. They had a very happy chat and their ideas were very similar, so they decided on the matter right away.
Lu Ziyao and Huo Siyan ate seriously throughout the whole meal. Getting married is just about getting a marriage certificate, it's that simple!
Lu Ziyao had told Huo Siyan before that if they really wanted to get married, it would not be a grand affair.
Although all girls hope to have a grand and romantic wedding, Lu Ziyao is not a person who pays much attention to the sense of ceremony. For Lu Ziyao, the happiest thing in her life is that she and Huo Siyan are together, and the most romantic thing is that Huo Siyan confessed his love to her and went on a date with her.
Besides, their family is used to keeping a low profile and doesn’t particularly like to make everything public for everyone’s benefit.
Just like the marriage of her elder brother and sister-in-law, only their family members knew about it, and they still lived a harmonious and happy life.
For Lu Ziyao, what matters is that they are together, not anything else.
Before, she had the idea that even if they didn't get married, she was willing to spend her whole life with Huo Siyan. As long as it was Huo Siyan, she was only greedy for Huo Siyan.
Although Lu Ziyao doesn't care about these formalities, she still has to go through the necessary procedures of proposing.
Moreover, Huo Siyan was particularly thoughtful and chose the time when they first met to prepare a candlelight dinner, saying it was to celebrate.
"Do you remember what day it is today?"
Huo Siyan specially prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes, opened some red wine, and asked Lu Ziyao a question while eating.
"Remember, October 8th, that was the day you came to school to give us a speech, that was the day I fell in love with you at first sight."
In fact, when Lu Ziyao saw that the dishes on the table were more sumptuous than usual, and that red wine was opened and candles were lit, which clearly meant a candlelight dinner, Lu Ziyao knew that today was not going to be a simple day.
Lu Ziyao remembers this day most clearly. They started school on September 1st, and after a month of military training, they had a seven-day National Day holiday. After the holiday, Huo Siyan came to the school to give a speech, and that day happened to be the school's centenary anniversary.
Therefore, Lu Ziyao remembers this day most clearly.
Because there were some very impressive days before and after, and the key point was, how could she forget the day when she fell in love with Huo Siyan at first sight?
"Are you celebrating the day we first met? I can see you put some thought into it. Thank you, Mr. Huo." The fact that Huo Siyan could remember and thought about celebrating this day with her made Lu Ziyao feel that she was still very important in Huo Siyan's heart.
Lu Ziyao had not mentioned it specifically before, but this day was a very special day for her, a day she would never forget.
Lu Ziyao raised her red wine and clinked her glass with Huo Siyan's. She took a sip of the wine, smiled, and said, "You're getting better and better!"
Lu Ziyao didn't think much about the meal as she and Huo Siyan recalled what happened after she fell in love at first sight. She couldn't help but sigh, "Back then, I really put a lot of effort into getting your contact information so that I could communicate with you openly."
"Indeed, I also thought you were a bit cunning and clever back then, knowing how to use a middleman to connect you instead of coming directly to me."
Speaking of this, Huo Siyan also remembered very clearly the relationship between them. It was really Lu Ziyao who used the right method, otherwise it is very likely that they would not be like this now.
If Lu Ziyao tried every possible means to get his contact information and suddenly showed up to confess her feelings to him, he might not have any good feelings towards this girl, and there would be no contact between them afterwards.
"Of course. You didn't know me at the time, and I wasn't confident enough to think you'd fall in love with me the moment you saw me. So, if I wanted to pursue you, it would definitely be a long-term battle. So, the contact between us shouldn't be just one time. From the very beginning, we should ensure that there would be opportunities for continued contact in the future."
Lu Ziyao fell in love with Huo Siyan at first sight, but she put a lot of thought into expressing her feelings.
Lu Ziyao had expected that her first confession would be rejected. She just wanted to make her presence felt in front of Huo Siyan. As for feelings, they would gradually develop as they had more contact.
Therefore, Lu Ziyao did not get discouraged after being rejected, but just kept trying.
Lu Ziyao has been pursuing Huo Siyan with this mentality and has never intended to give up.
"Have you ever heard of this saying? Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts. In order to pursue you, I really did my homework, more seriously than I did when I took an exam, really!"
Lu Ziyao held her chin up and recalled these past events with Huo Siyan: "It's a pity that I didn't catch up with her, and it delayed my review, ah!"
"But I remember you were first in every subject, received scholarships every year, and won gold medals in every competition. Am I mistaken?"
Huo Siyan curled his lips and looked at Lu Ziyao and said, "Is this delaying your studies? Is it delaying your review?"
"You remember it so clearly. You said before that you don't like me? If you don't like me, how come you remember so many things about me?" Lu Ziyao seized on Huo Siyan's words, raised her eyebrows slightly and said happily.
Huo Siyan didn't know either, but he seemed to remember everything about her.
He remembered everything she had told him.
"I used to like you, but not that kind of like, understand?"
Huo Siyan knew that he liked Lu Ziyao very much, but it was not the kind of love between men and women. After all, he had raised Lu Ziyao as his own child!
"But you, who ace every subject, said that pursuing me delayed your review?" Huo Siyan was still upset about this and just wanted to hear an explanation so that he wouldn't take the blame!
