Proposal (Twenty-four)
Wang Yue: ???
What the hell?
What the hell is this man talking about?
Proposal? ! !
Wang Yue simply thought he was hallucinating.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief and almost shouted out, "You're going to beg Ruan Xiaohua..."
Before he could finish his words, Xi Jiu glanced at him sharply.
Wang Yue shuddered and quickly covered his mouth.
However, even though he covered his mouth, the shock in his heart was revealed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, that day will never come."
…
Ruan Qi chuckled and pulled her into the living room, introducing her to Xi Jiu and the others like she was presenting a treasure: "Brother Jiujiu, this is Xiaoya, her real name is Lin Ting. You can just call her Tingting. Tingting is my best friend, a thousand times better than Wang Ergou!"
He never knew that such a big and strong man like him could be so shocked by just a few words.
Ruan Qi jumped up to her with joy the moment she saw her. Lin Ting, a year younger than Ruan Qi, held her firmly in her arms, her words and actions as steady as if she were Ruan Qi's older sister.
Xi Jiu looked at him, smiled, and made a solemn promise.
Mr. Xi: "Which school did she apply to? What major? Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine?"
“It’s neither Western medicine nor Chinese medicine.”
However, Xi Jiu did not choose any of these methods.
He wanted to give Ruan Qi a proposal that money could not buy and that she would never forget.
Wang Yue felt a little embarrassed by being stared at. He glared at her and said stubbornly, "What are you looking at? Don't think I've accepted you. You're still in the probation period. If I find out that you bully Ruan Xiaohua in the future, do you believe me..."
Xi Jiu looked at her, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his voice became gentle.
"Are you going to propose to Ruan Xiaohua? In Qingyun Village?" Wang Yue asked silently with his pupils shaking.
"yes."
Wang Yue was immediately confused.
Wang Ergou, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry.
He asked Xi Jiu, "You're so rich, and you obviously have more luxurious ways to propose. Why did you choose here? Qingyun Village may be beautiful, but there are no flowers, fine wine, or bright lights and revelry. You've lived in the big city for so many years, don't you think this place is shabby?"
Thinking of this, Xi Jiu couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
He seemed to really love Ruan Qi with his life.
"Hello, I'm Xiaoqi's best friend. I'm very grateful for your care for her over the years. I thank you on Xiaoqi's behalf."
City-wide advertisements, hot air balloons in the sky, flowers on yachts, confessions from helicopters... There are many ways to propose. Xi Jiu is not short of money. As long as he wants, he can let the whole world witness his and Ruan Qi's love.
The evening breeze rustled the leaves. Ripples formed on the calm river surface, which glowed softly under the warm orange sunset. Just like Xi Jiu's mood at the moment, it was peaceful and gentle.
Faced with this question, Xi Jiu laughed.
Xi Jiu had thought of many ways to propose.
"Are you feeling better from motion sickness? I was just about to go see you, and you came here on your own. I have some motion sickness medicine here, would you like to take some? Oh, and I also picked some mulberries in the back mountain. They're sour and sweet and very appetizing, perfect for curing the nausea caused by motion sickness."
Lin Ting, like most members of Q Base, possessed the ferocity and bloodiness of a wild beast. She appeared quiet and gentle, but when she stood with Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu could sense a sense of a beast protecting its calf.
Having not seen Lin Ting for several years, Ruan Qi was as excited as a little bee, circling around her and stuffing all kinds of delicious and fun things into her arms.
Before he could finish his words, Lin Ting, who was holding Ruan Qi's hand, glanced over lightly.
"Big cities do have fine wine and luxury, but they don't have Ruan Qi."
In his limited knowledge, a proposal from a wealthy young man should include a yacht, a plane, and a big cake, but why did Ruan Xiaohua's fiancé not play by the rules and take an unconventional approach?
His mind froze a bit, and he asked Xi Jiu blankly, "You want to propose here? Right here? Qingyun Village?"
Ruan Qi felt Lin Ting's preference for her, looked at Wang Yue proudly, and then continued to introduce her fiancé and brother to Lin Ting.
It was not until he returned to Qingyun Village with Ruan Qi that Xi Jiu finally had a vague idea in his mind.
Xi Jiu and Wang Yue reached a secret agreement.
For the Ruan family and Ruan Qi, this place is not only their hometown, but also the salvation of their family.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ting smiled faintly and shook her head.
His tiger eyes were wide open, and his pupils were shaking as he stared at Xi Jiu.
Not only that, Xi Jiu also sensed a familiar aura from Lin Ting, a bit like...
Upon hearing this, Xi Jiu raised his head and looked straight at him.
Xi Jiu miraculously understood what he meant, nodded, and said, "Yes. I want to propose to her here."
Lin Ting's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, her attitude was distant but appropriate, her words were thoughtful and detailed, and there was nothing wrong with her.
He wanted to propose here, which would be the only time in his life.
When Mr. Xi heard this, he immediately asked curiously, "Is this girl also studying medicine? Like Xiao Qi?"
Although Ruan Qi and Lin Ting were both considered doctors, Xi Jiu had never sensed such a bloody aura from Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi, too, often saw blood, but having been educated by Nie Beilou for years, her goal had always been to save the dying and heal the wounded. Her heart had always been sunny, and she could only smell the scent of sunshine, never a trace of blood.
No wonder he felt Lin Ting's aura was familiar.
Lin Ting seemed to treat Ruan Qi as a little animal that needed protection, and her words and actions were unconsciously keeping her in her territory.
Lin Ting was forced to stuff her arms full of things, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.
If Wang Yue was compared to a stupid, reckless dog, then Lin Ting was the cat perched on top of the dog. She looked soft, but actually had sharp claws. If the other party wasn't careful, she would scratch them until they were covered in blood.
Xi Jiu could sense that Ruan Qi truly loved this piece of her hometown. Ever since returning to Qingyun Village, the smile on her face hadn't faded, and the people and things here were truly worthy of her wholehearted love.
However, this small village was the key to the Ruan family's rebirth and Ruan Qi's birth. It gave Ruan Qi life, so in Xi Jiu's heart, there was no place more worthy of this proposal than here.
Lin Ting complained, but held Ruan Qi tightly in her hand.
"No matter how beautiful a city is, it can't compare to the place where Xiaoqi was born. She was born here, and to me, the land that gave her life is more prosperous than any other place. Because this is where I gave birth to the most precious treasure I've ever cherished."
Mr. Xi: ???
She curled her lips, her pretty face looked very shy, but the words she said were like bombs.
Xi Jiu thought about this matter for a long time and asked many people, but no one had a good solution.
Wang Yue was so shocked that his head felt like it was going to explode.
However, simply kneeling down to propose marriage would definitely not be worthy of Ruan Qi.
But Xi Jiu keenly realized that compared to Wang Yue, Lin Ting was the more difficult one to deal with.
Xi Jiu wanted to be the best and most romantic possible.
Xi Jiu, who had just felt that Lin Ting's aura was familiar, finally understood the reason.
But Lin Ting is different.
That's why he asked Wang Yue for advice in private.
Lin Ting felt a little carsick when she first returned to the village. She lay down at home for a long time before she gathered her energy and went to the Ruan family to see Ruan Qi.
Old Master Xi thought that Lin Ting was influenced by Ruan Qi and Nie Beilou to study medicine, so he asked this question.
Because Lin Ting had a bloody smell that was unique to the members of the Q base.
The little girl's full name was Lin Ting, a quiet and calm girl. She was pretty, a bit taller than Ruan Qi, and seemed shy when silent. But those who knew her knew that she was actually the most opinionated of Ruan Qi and Wang Yue's childhood friends.
Xi Jiu turned his head and glanced at Ruan Qi who was fishing with Nie Heng on the shore. She had a relaxed and happy smile on her face, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were warm and sparkling against the backdrop of the setting sun.
He coughed awkwardly, scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "Well...if you really want to propose here, it's not impossible. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I can help you out. You, just tell me what you need, don't be polite with me."
Even Cheng Jinyan, who was used to being indifferent, raised his eyebrows in surprise and couldn't help but look at Lin Ting again.
So, after experiencing the local customs and practices of Qingyun Village for a few days, Xi Jiu finally made a decision.
Ruan Qi smiled and nodded: "About the same."
"It's the medical examiner."
At this moment, Ruan Qi, who was arm in arm with Lin Ting, introduced her enthusiastically, "Tingting is amazing! She scored 700 on the college entrance exam and got into the best professional school. In two months, everyone will call Tingting Dr. Lin."
Lin Ting politely greeted Cheng Jinyan and Mr. Xi. When it was Xi Jiu's turn, she paused, narrowed her eyes, and then extended her hand to Xi Jiu with a faint smile.
Xi Jiu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
Wang Yue immediately tucked his tail between his legs and shut his mouth, like a big dog that was caught doing something bad by its owner.
He was obviously not a romantic person, but at this moment he inexplicably felt the affection and tenderness in Xi Jiu's words, as well as the passion of loving someone with his life.
This fiancé...seems to be different from what he imagined.
Wang Yue's impression of Xi Jiu changed in an instant.
"I drank some mung bean soup and I'm not nauseous anymore. Xiaoqi, stop now and don't tire yourself out. How come you're still so erratic after being away for several years?"
ah? ? ?
A rare look of confusion appeared on Mr. Xi's face.
Qingyun Village is where Ruan Qi was born, and it is also the place where Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu were reborn.
Including the greeting to Xi Jiu just now, the words between the lines also classified Xi Jiu as an outsider, and there was a lot of rejection hidden under the gentle tone.
He waved his fist as if he was going to hit someone.
It was getting dark, so Ruan Qi said goodbye to the audience, closed the live broadcast room, and went home with everyone carrying two full buckets of fish.
This place may not be as prosperous as the city, nor does it have the romance and luxury of advertisements and flowers all over the city.
Wang Yue's mind moved: "What do you mean?"
Xi Jiu couldn't think of it for a while.
"Hey, Ruan Xiaohua, you..."
That evening, Wang Yue had dinner at Ruan's house. Also dining with him was Ruan Qi's other childhood friend, Xiaoya.
Wang Yue couldn't help but be stunned.
No matter how grand the proposal ceremony was, it was still built on money. Xi Jiu was willing to spend money on Ruan Qi, but when it came to proposing, he felt that putting his heart into it was more important than money.
As expected of his baby, the friends he made were not ordinary people. His baby was indeed the best, he could even handle a silly dog like Wang Yue and a wild cat like Lin Ting.
Well, babies are the best.
Xi Jiu, a man who makes a living by praising his wife.
