Chapter 52 Surprise: Be My Girlfriend
It was already past midnight when we left the banquet. It had rained outside, the ground was wet, and the air was slightly cool.
Yuwu got excited and insisted on going back.
Cheng Yi refused to listen to her and forcibly pulled her into the car.
Yuwu, unwilling to give up, sat in the back row and acted up.
The driver in the front seat had his hands on the steering wheel, his body stiff, and he dared not look around.
Cheng Yi called her a lunatic.
"How are you going to walk in those high heels?"
Yu Wu stared at him, her eyes puffed out. "I can go barefoot."
Are you sick in the head?
Yu Wu nodded innocently, "Yes."
Cheng Yi stared intently at her with his dark pupils, his tongue pressed against his teeth, as if he wanted to do something.
I want to spank her snowy buttocks.
Or he could throw her on the bed and tear her apart without giving her a chance to speak, letting her suffer cruelly at his mercy.
Her voice softened, her delicate face filled with pitifulness, and she shook his arm gently, "Please?"
In the end, Cheng Yi couldn't go against Yu Wu's wishes and let her have her way.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Summer drizzle is particularly gentle, not the kind of sudden downpour, but like a soothing piano piece, drifting softly. The quiet, empty streets were all wet, and almost all the shops were closed, with only one or two 24-hour convenience stores open.
The cold raindrops fell on my body, but my blood felt slightly warm.
Yu Wu was very happy and especially happy tonight. Although she was slightly drunk, she held Cheng Yi's hand like a drunkard and grinned foolishly.
“Let’s dance.” Yu Wu enthusiastically played a song. It was “A Thousand Years,” the theme song from Twilight. The warm, mellow mid-to-low frequencies quietly conveyed a fated love, creating a romantic atmosphere of whispered time.
Heart beats fast.
My heart is beating faster and faster.
Colors and promises
The colors before my eyes grow ever more vibrant, and your vows echo in my ears.
How to be brave,
How can I love when I'm afraid of losing and afraid of getting hurt?
But watching you stand alone,
But when you're standing right in front of me...
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow,
All my doubts and concerns suddenly vanished.
One step closer,
I want to get closer to you.
......
Under the dim streetlights, everything was quiet. The plane trees on both sides of the street stood silently in the rain. The drizzle was soft, the leaves rustled, and the rain dripped from the eaves.
A cool breeze tousled her hair, and Yuwu lifted the flowing green skirt, tiptoeing and laughing as she danced gracefully in Chengyi's hands.
Cheng Yi was initially impatient and uncooperative. As she moved, strands of her hair brushed against his cheek in the breeze, carrying a soft, delicate fragrance. Finally, led by her, a helpless smile appeared on his lips, and his feet moved slightly in sync with her dance steps, the arc of which was extremely small.
Cheng Yi felt like he was going crazy too, dancing with her in the rain on a quiet street after the hustle and bustle had subsided.
Like someone with a mental illness.
At this moment, forgetting all their troubles, they are just an ordinary, worldly couple.
With the final words, "I'll love you for a thousand more," the two slowly stopped, gazing at each other with eyes full of light. Without uttering a word, their lips met in silent understanding, gently parting to form a moist, intertwined kiss. The night air was a little chilly, and when Cheng Yi's palm touched Yu Wu's bare lower back, the coldness instantly vanished, and a slight warmth spread through his heart.
In the dead of night, in the quiet city, the streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, a light rain fell, and the air was slightly cool. Two people, their eyelashes damp with moisture, slowly parted ways.
Their eyes were filled with intense, silent yet surging desire.
Another wet kiss landed on his lips, their bodies pressed together without any gap, their heartbeats in unison.
Yu Wu closed her eyes, savoring the moment, finding it exceptionally beautiful. Just now, Zan Yaming's subtle hints at the banquet, along with Cheng Yi's recent unusual behavior, and his insistence on setting aside a day for her tomorrow, confirmed something for her.
— Cheng Yi is going to confess his feelings to her tomorrow.
If this is a dream, I only hope that she never wakes up and can live a happy life forever.
She secretly encouraged herself, telling herself to be brave and take that step of daring to love.
What's done and can't be undone, let it remain in the past. For the past ten years, she'd punished herself with Ke Yanchen's heartlessness; those bitter tears, those fragmented memories, shouldn't be etched in her mind, they should be severed. Her eyes are in the front; she too must take a new step and embrace a brand new future.
After the kiss, Yu Wu buried her face in Cheng Yi's neck and whispered the words she had rehearsed countless times in her heart.
"Xiaoyi."
"......I love you."
Cheng Yi parted his body, his black, tousled hair fluttering in the cold wind mixed with rain, and looked down at her.
Yu Wu's small face was as delicate as an oil painting, her eyebrows curved and her lips pursed in a smile, her dark and moist pupils sparkling with a clear light, dazzling and eye-catching.
Cheng Yi stared intently at her, a warmth spreading through his heart, a feeling of indescribable satisfaction washing over him.
The streets were utterly silent, time seemed to stand still. A light rain fell, and the two gazed intently at each other, raindrops condensing on their eyelashes and hair, their souls surging with emotion.
Later, during countless sleepless nights, Yu Wu thought of this summer night with its slanting raindrops, and her heart throbbed with pain, a sob choking her entire body.
Later, during countless chaotic times of numbing himself with cigarettes and alcohol, Cheng Yi recalled the intense affection of that time. The lingering, cold drizzle seeped into his bones, stealing the warmth from every breath.
*
Making love during the day is especially agonizing.
He was very patient, methodically and gradually eroding her passion until it was fully unleashed, leaving her to be domineering and relentlessly tormented by him.
Yuwu's fingernails dug deep into his back muscles, deeply feeling the storm he brought.
Afterwards, the two hugged each other tightly.
Yu Wu slightly lifted her eyelids and took a small breath. Her eyes and brows were full of a charming allure that had been fiercely loved, and her curled eyelashes were completely wet with tears.
Cheng Yi nuzzled her earlobe, his voice hoarse as he asked her which takeout restaurant she wanted. Their voices lingered in each other's ears, their tender whispers fading into the air.
...
Yu Wu had just taken a shower, her hair still dripping wet, while Cheng Yi was taking the takeout out. He noticed her damp hair, tossed her a clean towel over her head, and clicked his tongue: "Dry it off."
"Oh." Yu Wu pouted, wiped her mouth casually with a towel, sat down in the dining chair, and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Cheng Yi glanced at her helplessly and walked over.
Warm breath came from above her head, and the man's strong arm reached out from behind her, picked up a towel and rubbed her face haphazardly, then carefully wiped her face amidst Yuwu's coquettish complaints.
Yu Wu squinted, enjoying the moment, her eyes crinkling as she smiled like a weasel.
Cheng Yi pinched her cheek lightly and gently, without any expression on his face, which made Yu Wu pitifully complain of the pain.
The phone rang, and Cheng Yi picked it up and handed it to Yu Wu.
Yu Wu accepted it.
It's Cheng Gaofei. She's the one Ke Yanchen called Yu Wu a while ago to help her solve her problems. Later, Cheng Gaofei approached Yu Wu, who solved their public relations issues, produced a new plan, and the advertising results were excellent, leading to a five-year contract.
After that, Cheng Gaofei would always bring Yu Wu a gift or two whenever she went abroad. Yu Wu wouldn't accept her staying, as she was straightforward and generous, and also particularly good at being charming and ingratiating.
Cheng Gaofei's voice was particularly excited: "I just got back from Paris! I brought you two bottles of perfume and some new designer clothes. Come and get them from me!"
Yu Wu glanced at Cheng Yi across from her, "...Wait a minute, I think I have something to do later."
Cheng Gaofei's voice suddenly rose, and she said in a spoiled tone, "No way! You have to come! You have to come to my company! Otherwise, I'll come to your company every day and give you gifts!"
Yu Wu had a headache. Cheng Yi glanced at her indifferently, picked up some food for her, and said in a cold, detached tone, "Ask her if she has time at eight o'clock."
Yu Wu asked, and Cheng Gaofei quickly replied, "Yes, yes! I'll definitely wait for you today! Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Wuchong Chengyi shrugged.
Cheng Yi admonished her, "Eat properly."
Yu Wu's eyes gleamed with excitement, but she lowered her head and tried her best to suppress it.
She was quite looking forward to tonight.
*
Yu Wu and Cheng Yi arrived at the location where Cheng Gaofei was.
The city's tallest revolving restaurant is designed with a completely transparent glass exterior, offering panoramic views of the city's bustling cityscape.
The ground floor was covered with rose petals, and an artificial fountain sprayed water with countless red heart-shaped candles floating in it, their flickering light creating a shimmering effect. The air was filled with the unique fragrance of roses, intoxicatingly sweet.
Yu Wu grabbed Cheng Yi's arm, extremely excited: "It seems someone here is proposing marriage, or maybe even confessing their love!"
Cheng Yi, his face expressionless, let out a disdainful sneer. He glanced at the roses on the ground; they were all ordinary roses. Indeed, he had already reserved all the roses in Ecuador in the world.
Ecuadorian roses, the aristocracy of flowers. Growing in the fertile soil between two volcanoes at an altitude of over 9,600 feet in Ecuador, they can reach heights of up to 1.8 meters, with thick, full blooms. Not only are they a rich red, but they also come in aurora-like gradients and rainbow colors.
From the foot of the mountain to the summit, it's all high-quality roses—250,000 roses, the flowers alone weighing 125 tons to move. Each bunch is two meters in diameter, requiring several strong men to lift. This fool is so happy with just a few roses; who knows how moved he'll be later.
The candles here also look cheap, unlike the luxurious, handcrafted candles he had prepared.
Really low.
He has the air of a nouveau riche.
He also prepared a castle, drones, helicopters, a fireworks show, shopping mall projections, city-wide advertisements, and her favorite singers and bands.
The two took the elevator up to the top floor, where red roses bloomed in profusion along the corridors on both sides. Yu Wu called Cheng Gaofei, who gave her the room number and told her to go directly there.
After walking through the long corridor, Yu Wu pushed open the door to the private room.
The moment the door opened, several fireworks exploded with a loud bang, the deafening sound piercing the ears, and Yu Wu's shoulders trembled.
"Surprise!" the crowd shouted excitedly.
The private room was brightly lit and filled with flowers, a sea of heart-shaped candles, while a group of people stood at the door, holding flowers and champagne, their expressions excited and restless.
Amidst the uproar, Yu Wu looked towards the focal point of all eyes and saw the tall and imposing Ke Yanchen standing at the back of the crowd. The crowd gradually parted to make way for Ke Yanchen, who held an antique ruby necklace in his hands, his face filled with deep affection.
As if sensing something, Yu Wu's mind went blank, and she stood frozen in place, feeling as if her whole body was made of lead.
The crowd fell into a deliberate silence, holding their breath, their eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement. Ke Yanchen, a warm smile playing on his lips, slowly walked to Yu Wu, his expression sincere, and presented her with the ruby necklace.
His dark pupils stared intently at the misty clouds as he slowly spoke.
"Yu Wu, I like you."
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
