Proposal (30)
From Ruan Qi’s nine to nineteen years old, from Xi Jiu’s sixteen to twenty-six years old.
After ten years, they finally met again.
And from the moment they met again, another story began to unfold between Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu——
here we go.
Ruan Qi looked at the watercolor paintings and photos rotating on the screen, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Xi Jiu in front of her suddenly bent his legs and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Ruan Qi's heart couldn't help but beat irregularly, and she vaguely guessed what Xi Jiu was going to do.
She subconsciously called out: "Jiujiu..."
"Baby," Xi Jiu knelt on one knee on the ground, raised his head, and his dark and cold eyes were tender.
He looked up at Ruan Qi, his heart full of love almost melting into water: "Twelve years ago, I was lonely and indifferent. A little sun suddenly broke into my world and made my life more colorful. We were separated for ten years, and I searched for you for eight years. Fortunately, God was kind to me and let me meet you again."
"In the two years we've been together, we've been through a lot. You've seen me depressed and humiliated, and I've seen you fearful and wronged. We've faced enemies together, life and death together, and even in the most desperate moments, we never let go of each other's hands. Xiaoqi, to me, you're like the missing half of my soul. Without you, my life, body, and spirit are all incomplete. Only you can make me complete."
"People are always greedy. Once they've experienced happiness, they can no longer endure loneliness and loss. Xiaoqi, I don't want to lose you, nor do I want to go back to the days without you. I want to be the person in this world who has the closest relationship with you. I want to engrave your name on my life and soul, and let the world bind us tightly together."
"So Xiaoqi, are you willing to give me this opportunity?"
Xi Jiu didn't know when a ring appeared in his hand.
The ring wasn't luxurious, nor did it have a diamond as big as a pigeon egg. It was simply a simple jade ring, but Xi Jiu had personally selected the material and polished it.
Ruan Qi looked at the ring, her lips trembling, her voice shaking: "Did you make this ring yourself?"
Xi Jiu nodded slowly.
"Yes, I made it myself. I spent half a month learning from a skilled craftsman. I was in charge of everything from selecting the materials to polishing."
Ruan Qi couldn't help but shed tears again.
She sniffed and asked him again: "You are so busy at work, how do you have time to learn this?"
This question made Xi Jiu's hand holding the ring stiffen for a moment.
He lowered his eyes, looked at the exquisitely crafted plain ring, smiled bitterly, and said, "I really don't have much time normally. But this ring... was made during the time you were lying unconscious in the hospital. That month, I relied entirely on this ring to keep me going."
During the month when Ruan Qi became a living dead and was in a coma, Xi Jiu collapsed countless times.
If Zhuge Lang from the metaphysical family had not calculated that Ruan Qi still had a glimmer of hope, he might really not have been able to endure it and would have gone with Ruan Qi.
During that tormenting month, Xi Jiu set a goal for himself in order to survive.
Make a ring.
He wanted to make a ring by himself and propose to Ruan Qi as soon as she woke up.
Xi Jiu had relied on this ring to get through that month. And God had been very kind to him, as he had personally given away this ring, which he had polished with his own hands.
Thinking of the despair he experienced that month, Xi Jiu's hand holding the ring trembled slightly.
Ruan Qi's heart also trembled.
"Are you stupid?" She cried and hit Xi Jiu on the arm. "What if I don't make it? You made this ring in vain."
Hearing this, Xi Jiu laughed.
"It's not in vain. Whether you are alive or... I will give you the ring. Baby, we once promised to live and die together. No matter where we are, we will always be together."
Ruan Qi couldn't help crying and said "fool" again.
Xi Jiu accepted her 'nickname' for himself, then raised his left hand and grasped the fingertips that Ruan Qi had hit on his arm.
He looked up at her, his eyes filled with unrepentant affection: "So, baby, can you give me a chance? I want to stick to you forever and be your closest person in this world. We will be together through life and death, and never be apart."
There was trepidation in Xi Jiu's voice.
Little did he know that Ruan Qi was simply reluctant to reject him.
She took a step forward, squatted down, and put her arms around the man's neck.
"I do, Jiujiu, I do!" Ruan Qi burst into tears like a flood, "I am willing to marry you, and we will never be apart!"
Xi Jiu touched Ruan Qi so much today.
Ruan Qi couldn't bear it and could only respond loudly to the other party in this way.
After hearing Ruan Qi's "I do", Xi Jiu's heart, which had been hanging in the balance for several days, finally settled down.
His eyes suddenly turned red, and he hugged the person in front of him tightly with his backhand.
"Thank you, baby. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
He hugged Ruan Qi tightly, calmed himself down, then stood up and took her left hand.
"I'll put the ring on the baby, okay?"
Ruan Qi opened her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, and nodded vigorously.
Xi Jiu immediately held the ring firmly and carefully put it onto Ruan Qi's ring finger bit by bit.
Ruan Qi watched his movements, sniffed, and suddenly said in a muffled voice: "Jiujiu, I think you wear it on your middle finger when you're engaged, right? You wear it on your ring finger when you're married."
Xi Jiu paused, then acted as if he didn't hear anything, and quickly put the ring onto the base of Ruan Qi's ring finger.
"This ring is made according to the size of your ring finger. It may not fit your middle finger. It's too late to make a new one now, so baby, let's just make do with this, okay?"
Xi Jiu calmly fooled Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi glanced at him, then lowered her eyes to look at the ring on her ring finger.
Although the ring was plain, it was very beautiful. Xi Jiu had chosen the finest moon-white jade, which was warm to the touch and, against the backdrop of the night and the lights, shone with a lustrous luster like the bright moon.
Ruan Qi fell in love with it at first sight.
She pretended not to notice what Shi Jiu was thinking, and took back her hand that was wearing the ring. With a smile in her tone, she said, "Since it's made according to the size of your ring finger, then wear it like this. I like the ring very much, and it's very comfortable on my ring finger. No need to change it."
Xi Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was afraid that Ruan Qi's legs would get numb after squatting for too long, so he helped her stand up and then took her hand with the ring on it.
Ruan Qi's hands are very beautiful, and with the beautiful ring, they are like a beautiful painting.
Xi Jiu looked at the beautiful scenery, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but he still asked Ruan Qi worriedly: "Are you really not going to change it?"
Ruan Qi: "No need to change it, the ring finger is fine."
"Since you're wearing it on your ring finger, you can't take it off in the future." Xi Jiu said again.
Seeing how nervous he was, Ruan Qi nodded in amusement.
"I promised, and I won't change my mind. I will wear this ring forever."
Xi Jiu finally got the answer he wanted.
He could no longer contain his excitement and joy, so he reached out and hugged Ruan Qi tightly in his arms.
"I won't give you a chance to take off the ring."
"Baby, I swear with my life - I will always be loyal to you in this life."
The proposal is finally finished! Perfect! ~
