During the Qingming Festival holiday, Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan went directly back to Shi County, while Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi stayed behind. They didn't have much to do at home during the holiday, so they might as well stay in the studio and have a more fulfilling time.
Xu Xiu was to take the things back to the Xu and Fang families in Shi County, and the others would not go.
It was drizzling that day. Zhang Aixiang and Xiao Liangxian finished their prayers and left early. They had been coming here frequently recently, so they left their daughter and future son-in-law alone.
Let them whisper to each other.
Xu Xiu gave a detailed introduction to his family situation, then mentioned that the two of them would get engaged next year, and that he would take care of everything at home so his uncle could rest assured.
Xiao Ruoyan also told her father about her recent events and brought photocopies of her award certificates.
Then, while talking, he burned the photocopy.
Although Hanhan couldn't help but cry in the end, these were tears of happiness.
After leaving, he went straight back to the Xiao family home for dinner and then returned to Hangzhou that very night.
Ning Bufan didn't stay at school for long before the May Day holiday arrived. However, this time he was going back with Wang Mengqi because it was an invitation from his future mother-in-law.
Before the holiday, Ning Bufan nervously asked Xu Xiu, "Old Xu, I'm a little panicked. What do you mean by Auntie specifically asking me to come back for dinner?"
Xu Xiu looked at his anxious friend beside him and remained silent for a long time.
"Old Xu, hurry up and tell me, I'm so anxious!"
"I guess they think you're progressing too slowly..."
"What's the progress?"
Ning Bufan scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Big brother, I'm getting engaged next year. Besides confessing your feelings last time, what else have you done?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Bufan fell into deep thought. It seemed that his relationship with Wang Mengqi was just like that of colleagues and classmates, without any romantic feelings.
Seeing that Ning Bufan remained silent, Xu Xiu continued, "You don't expect her to take the initiative, do you?"
"Since you've made up your mind, you should take the initiative and let Mengqi know how you feel, unless you want to change girlfriends."
"Did you know that many college couples break up after graduation? That's why graduation season is jokingly called breakup season."
Hearing this, Ning Bufan's expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Yeah, I don't seem to be proactive at all, and I don't know how to create romance."
“Thinking back to what Wang Mengqi said to herself during the last drone performance, wasn’t this a hint to herself?”
Just as the two were chatting outside the studio, Wang Mengqi came out and said with a stern face, "They're incredibly busy inside, and you two are just chatting outside?"
Wang Mengqi's voice startled both of them.
Xu Xiu quickly said, "Mengqi, Xiaofan seems to want to talk to you about something. I have to go do something now..."
After saying that, he immediately ran away.
"Damn it, that old Xu tricked me."
Ning Bufan cursed inwardly.
Wang Mengqi stared at Ning Bufan expressionlessly, making him feel uneasy. He couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
"Xiao Fan, what's wrong?"
"Um... um... what would you like to eat for lunch?"
Ning Bufan hesitated for a long time before finally asking this question.
"Is that all you wanted to tell me?"
After finishing her sentence, Wang Mengqi turned around and went straight back to her studio.
Ning Bufan quickly followed, thinking to himself, "Oh no, he's definitely angry..."
After entering the room, Xu Xiu walked to Wang Mengqi's side and asked in a low voice, "Mengqi, what did Xiaofan say to you?"
Wang Mengqi said with a look of disdain, "He asked me what I wanted to eat for lunch?"
Xu Xiu's smile froze upon hearing this, and he turned to look at Ning Bufan, who was working with his head down not far away.
He sighed silently to himself.
Ning Bufan didn't come to the studio after lunch; I don't know where he went.
That evening, Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan inexplicably received a message from Ning Bufan, asking them to meet downstairs at the girls' dormitory.
Upon seeing this news, Xu Xiu knew that Ning Bufan was definitely planning something big.
At the agreed time, Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan arrived downstairs at the girls' dormitory and saw Ning Bufan tinkering with a drone.
Xu Xiu walked closer and looked at it, then said with disdain, "Xiao Fan, are you planning to let me play with a drone that's for kids?"
"Does this plane cost around two hundred yuan?"
Ning Bufan said to himself, "Old Xu, this airplane costs 299 yuan. It's the most expensive one in the toy section of the wholesale market."
Xu Xiu rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "You're not planning to propose with this plane, are you?"
"Yes, Lao Xu, I've already thought out the whole process to ensure everything goes perfectly."
Are you sure?
Xu Xiu looked at him with suspicion.
Xiao Ruoyan also felt that it seemed unreliable. It wasn't that Ning Bufan was unreliable, but she also felt that toy airplanes were unreliable.
At this moment, Ning Bufan had already hung up a small jewelry box and then made a phone call to Wang Mengqi.
"Mengqi, come up to the balcony for a moment."
Hearing Ning Bufan's words, Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Mengqi went to the dormitory balcony after making the call and saw Ning Bufan downstairs holding some kind of remote control, with Xu Xiu and Ruoyan next to him.
Before she could say anything, the drone began to slowly ascend. Everything went smoothly until it was about to reach Wang Mengqi.
For some unknown reason, a strange wind suddenly blew up, and the drone went completely out of control. Ning Bufan tried to control the drone, but in his haste, he made a mistake, and the drone flew directly towards other girls' dormitories.
In the end, the plane flew directly into someone else's dormitory. Wang Mengqi had no choice but to swallow her pride and go to the next dormitory to ask for the plane back, and finally got the ring back.
Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan watched the whole thing without offering any help or saying a word; they were just spectators.
Seeing Wang Mengqi's gloomy face, Xu Xiu unconsciously shrank back.
"Xiao Fan, are you proposing?"
"Even if you don't do what Lao Xu did, you should at least buy a decent drone, right? You can play with it after the proposal."
Wang Mengqi's words left Ning Bufan completely baffled. Was she criticizing him or the drone?
Just as Ning Bufan was in a daze, Wang Mengqi took the initiative to extend her left hand. She had already given the ring to Ning Bufan when she came over.
Now that she's proactively extending her left hand, her meaning is quite clear: she wants Ning Bufan to put it on her.
Seeing Ning Bufan still in a daze, Xu Xiu couldn't bear it any longer and coughed a few times.
Hearing the cough, Ning Bufan realized what was happening and quickly took out the ring to put on Wang Mengqi's finger.
But after wearing it for a while, I realized that I couldn't wear it on any of my fingers except my pinky; the ring was too small...
Wang Mengqi's expression grew increasingly grim, and Ning Bufan whispered, "Mengqi, your hands are so big, can I get them replaced tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiu quickly pulled Xiao Ruoyan away, leaving behind the words, "Mengqi, go easy on her. We still have to see your mother in a few days."
The two quickly left the scene.
The next day, Xu Xiu specifically sought out Ning Bufan to see how he was doing.
It turned out that Ning Bufan seemed fine on the surface, but when Xu Xiu touched him, he grimaced in pain. Only then did he realize that he had suffered internal injuries.
Xu Xiu originally didn't plan to go back for the May Day holiday, but Ning Bufan kept pestering him to come back and help keep order.
Since Xu Xiu was going back, Xiao Ruoyan decided to go back with him.
