And so, Xiao Qing and Huo Siyun went through many twists and turns, and ended up together for six years.
In those six years, neither of them ever confessed their feelings first, yet they acted with the tacit understanding of a couple. Whenever they went out for a stroll after washing their hands, they would attract the attention of passersby.
These young couples are so lovey-dovey, they look like a perfect match.
Why do we have to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) just because we're out shopping?
Having grown up hearing these rumors and gossip, Xiao Qing and Huo Siyun didn't take them to heart. They just smiled at each other and continued with their work.
Time flew by, and they stepped into the high school campus.
During the summer after the college entrance examination, Xiao Tian was troubled by something: he wanted to propose to Xiao Ling, but he didn't know how to bring it up.
After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. He didn't want to rush into marriage with Xiaoling; he wanted to meticulously prepare a grand proposal ceremony for her.
However, due to a lack of experience, I couldn't come up with a good idea to ask for help.
So he took advantage of the summer vacation to tell his family about her idea. An Ran was overjoyed when she heard it; her precious son had finally come to his senses.
She had previously complained to Li Chuan that Xiao Ling and Xiao Tian had been dating for so many years, and when would Xiao Tian finally realize his mistake and propose to Xiao Ling? She was eager to have her grandson.
Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly that Anran quickly mobilized the whole family to help Xiaotian propose and make sure he won over Xiaoling.
Anran suggested to Xiaotian that he take Xiaoling out shopping as soon as possible, and then the rest of them stay at home to set up the proposal scene. After the setup was complete, she would then notify Xiaotian to come back.
Then Xiaotian accompanied Xiaoling shopping. Xiaoling had been wondering why Xiaotian had so much time on her hands today, but then she remembered that it had been a long time since they had spent time alone together, so she put the matter out of her mind.
At home, Anran, Xiaoqing, and Huo Siyun were also busy setting up the proposal scene, as this was a very important event for them. They couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.
They quickly transformed their living room into a dazzling proposal stage. Three hours had passed by the time everything was set up, so Anran called Xiaotian and told him to come back immediately.
After receiving An Ran's message, Xiao Tian quickly took Xiao Ling home.
Xiao Tian was very nervous the whole way. He was thinking about what he wanted to say. Although his father had prepared a template for him, he was still worried and wanted to add all the feelings he had had with Xiao Ling over the years.
Xiaoling noticed that something was wrong with Xiaotian. After making a phone call on the street, he rushed home, and his face looked very pale on the way.
He sensed that something big was about to happen at home, so he tried to comfort Xiao Tian along the way, but once they got home, Xiao Ling completely took him away.
The moment he pushed the door open, he heard two loud bangs. Then he saw Xiao Qing and An Ran standing on either side of the door, each holding a cannon and firing wildly at him.
He didn't react for a moment and stood there stunned. It was Anran and Xiaoqing who pushed her to the designated spot, which was the center of the living room.
The moment he took the spot, a beam of light shone on his face, and then a small figure appeared in front of him, holding nine hundred and ninety-nine roses.
Before Xiao Niu could even ask Xiao Tian a question, she saw Xiao Tian, holding a bouquet of flowers, kneel down on one knee. He then pulled a small, square box from his pocket.
Then, in front of him, she opened it herself. Inside was a sparkling DR diamond ring.
"Xiaoling, we've been through so much together. This DR diamond ring can only be customized once in a lifetime. Now I'm giving it to you. Will you marry me?"
Their past relationship had been fraught with hardship, so now they each cherished this hard-won reunion and embrace. Kneeling on the ground, Xiao Tian watched Xiao Ling remain motionless for a long time, his heart leaping into his throat.
Xiao Tian knew very well that Xiao Ling loved him, but at this moment he was afraid that Xiao Ling would reject his marriage proposal, after all, marriage is a major life event. How could he make a decision so hastily?
Just as Xiao Tian was trying to find an excuse to tell him that it was okay if he didn't want to get married now, and that he would wait for him, he saw Xiao Ling standing in front of him nod with tears in her eyes.
Xiaoling's words had been too impactful, so she needed some time to sort out the situation. Her beloved man had finally proposed to her; she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
So when he saw his family members covered in grime around him, he nodded with tears in his eyes. He was willing; he had always been willing to marry him. And Xiaoling would only ever marry Xiaotian in this lifetime.
Overjoyed, Xiaotian immediately slipped the diamond ring onto Xiaolin's finger, fearing he might change his mind. Then they embraced happily.
The onlookers, especially An Ran, were moved to tears, understanding the hardships the two had endured in their love over the years.
With everything brought to a close, they gathered together and happily enjoyed dinner. During the meal, Li Chuan suggested that Xiao Tian and Meng Bao hold an engagement ceremony first, since Xiao Ling had now agreed to marry Xiao Tian, and this ceremony would have to be held sooner or later.
Xiao Tian had this plan all along; he looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes conveying a question.
Xiaoling could be said to be even more eager to get married than Xiaotian, so she nodded shyly. And so, the engagement party was unexpectedly put on the agenda.
Xiaoling and Xiaotian are very busy every day, and now they also need to think about who they should invite to their engagement party.
Every day after get off work, Xiaoling and Xiaotian would get together to discuss how many tables they needed to arrange for their engagement banquet and which friends and colleagues they wanted to invite.
Although they were very busy every day, they enjoyed it immensely, since from then on they were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend, but in a legal relationship.
After they decided which friends to invite, they quickly sent out the invitations.
Friends who received the invitations quickly called or messaged them back, saying they would definitely attend their engagement party.
During this time, there were quite a few people who teased Xiaotian, saying that he used to be a quiet person, but unexpectedly he was the first among their friends to get married.
Xiao Tian didn't feel sad at his friends' mockery; instead, he felt even sweeter.
Xiaoling's friends were all in China, and the only ones abroad were her colleagues.
