Gu Rongqi took a sip of the champagne in his glass.
"So it's about people. Starting a family with someone you love is a wonderful thing. Coming home, looking at the warm yellow lights, and seeing your beloved partner, the feeling of having someone by your side is definitely different."
Cheng Qicai slightly raised her chin, her lips curved into a smile, and her eyes were filled with longing and anticipation, like a shining pearl in the night.
Noticing Gu Rongqi's silence, Cheng Qicai thought she had been talking too much. She turned to look at him somewhat embarrassedly and asked, "Do you think marriage is a bad idea?"
"No, it's just ordinary." Gu Rongqi said this with a very calm expression.
“Most marriages are ordinary. Ordinary is good, and plain is true happiness.” Cheng Qicai shook her head, then suddenly became curious about his criteria for choosing a partner. “So what kind of person are you looking for?”
Gu Rongqi's deep gaze fell on her, then he looked at his gently swirling wine glass and slowly uttered, "I don't know."
Cheng Qicai remained silent.
Can someone still not say what their ideal type is?
Gu Rongqi countered with, "And what about you?"
"Me?!" When it came to this, she wasn't as vague as Gu Rongqi; she spoke fluently and confidently.
"Just an average person, someone who can cook, so that when we're both busy with work, we can both cook for each other. Also, someone whose family's financial situation is similar to mine, so we'll have more to talk about. Fair-skinned is good, and a little taller than me in heels is fine. Looks don't matter, but fair skin is a must, and dimples are a plus..."
Cheng Qicai tilted her head and rattled off all the types she wanted.
Gu Rongqi looked at the calm lake, the lights behind them casting blurry reflections on the water, shimmering. A gentle breeze swept by, shattering their reflections.
The champagne in my stomach was fermenting, constantly releasing acidic, corrosive bubbles that surged into my bloodstream, first to my abdomen and limbs, then to my brain, and finally all of it rushed to my heart.
That's completely unrelated!
Seeing that Gu Rongqi didn't react, she assumed he wasn't interested in the topic.
She put the last bit of cake on her plate into her mouth: "But I'm probably still caught up in this atmosphere, so my desire to date and get married is stronger right now. Maybe I won't have these thoughts anymore after I leave."
"Mm," Gu Rongqi responded softly.
When she got back, Cheng Qicai sat in the back row watching the performance, and the lively atmosphere around her made her feel very comfortable.
The atmosphere was just right, so she picked up the champagne on the table and took a few sips. The sweet and sour green apple flavor tempted her to drink more, and she only stopped when she felt hot and her head was a little dizzy.
She stood up, intending to go outside to sober up.
Gu Rongqi noticed her cheeks were slightly flushed and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Huh?" The alcohol made Cheng Qicai a little sluggish. She replied to him with blurry eyes, "Let's go for a walk around and sober up."
"I'll go with you."
Cheng Qicai shook her head and refused: "No need, you can keep it to watch the performance."
"It's okay, I just wanted to get some fresh air."
The two followed the path they had come from and arrived at the place where Yun Su Ni and the others had proposed earlier.
The closer we got, the stronger the fragrance of the roses became.
There were still quite a few people taking photos inside, and Cheng Qicai was also getting a little restless.
The excuse she gave Yun Suni was that she wanted to take photos here and asked Yun Suni to help her.
So she brought a camera with her, and it should still be in the car that brought her.
“I want to go to the car to get my camera and take pictures.” She looked at Gu Rongqi.
Gu Rongqi accompanied her slowly to the parking lot. Cheng Qicai found the manager, opened the car, and walked back with her camera.
Suddenly, a series of sharp, slapping sounds came from somewhere.
It was already dark at night, and hearing that sound was quite eerie, instantly making my mind wander to strange and supernatural things.
Cheng Qicai swallowed hard, looking at Gu Rongqi with some nervousness.
"It's alright," Gu Rongqi comforted her.
With Gu Rongqi's words, Cheng Qicai felt reassured and calmed down considerably.
The two quietly walked towards the source of the sound. Cheng Qicai went around behind a tree and could see half of a familiar figure in the dim light.
Cheng Qicai loosened her clenched jaw and exclaimed helplessly, "Brother Gu, what are you doing here all by yourself? You scared me to death!"
Gu Liji, who had his back to them, heard their voices and hurriedly threw something on the ground.
When Cheng Qicai saw his movements, she immediately understood what he was doing.
What crime have the flowers and plants committed that you have to treat them like that!
You shouldn't take your anger out on the plants!
Cheng Qicai asked him speechlessly, "Brother Gu, are you hungry? The grilled squid made by the chef over there is pretty good."
Gu Liji responded with a cool, aloof "Oh."
"Let's go." Gu Rongqi stepped forward and pushed Gu Liji's wheelchair forward.
Gu Liji didn't want to leave, but when he looked up and saw Gu Rongqi looking down at him, he swallowed his words.
When they arrived at the set, Cheng Qicai hesitated, looking at them and wondering whether to take photos first or send Gu Liji there first.
In the end, he decided, "Brother Gu, why don't you guys go over there first? I'll come over as soon as I'm done filming."
Gu Rong couldn't get up. "It's okay, it's still early anyway."
Cheng Qi set up the camera, glanced at Gu Liji, and Gu Liji thought that if he went over there, he would see Yun Su Ni and the others. He said sullenly, "Then I'll just stay here."
Cheng Qicai's expression froze. "No, what are you doing with me?"
