Chapter 144 Proposal (End of the Text)
Yan Nian took them to the restaurant and after dinner,
Xu Xinrui acted like a local and took them around the neighborhood.
Not long after, Qi Jin received a call saying that his friend knew he was coming and wanted to meet him. He didn't ask Xu Mi whether she wanted to go or not, and just left the three of them and slipped away.
Yan Nian was still a little puzzled. It was a bit inappropriate for Qi Jin to just throw Xu Mi to them like that!
Xu Mi was his fiancée, but he didn't even look at her when he left.
Yan Nian looked at Xu Mi again, as if nothing had happened, and joked with Xu Xinrui next to him.
These two really look like the kind of contract marriage you see in TV dramas.
Everyone has their own fun and don’t bother each other.
Yan Nian was worried about Xu Mi. If they were not happy, why did they insist on staying together?
After dinner, it was still dark and Qi Jin had not returned.
Xu Mi was clamoring to see a movie, and Yan Nian sent messages to Zhou Ran and Qi Jin respectively when buying movie tickets.
[Boss Qi, we're going to the movies. Do you want to join us?]
【Are you done? We're going to the movies.】
Although she really wanted Zhou Ran to come over, Yan Nian thought about the company's affairs and gave up the fantasy.
Zhou Ran replied, "You can go and see it with them. I have some things to do here, so I'll be home early tonight."
Yan Nian felt lost. They had very little time to be together as they were all busy with their own things. The only time she would be with him when he flew to other places was when she would act as his translator. They really didn't have much time for a relationship.
After Yan Nian finished replying, Qi Jin also replied: [No, you guys go ahead and have fun, keep an eye on Xu Zhu.]
Yan Nian: “…”
Just as the three of them walked into the cinema, the poor Qi Jin collapsed in the newly set up sea of blue lights. People passing by raised their mobile phones to take pictures. This was a blue series proposal scene.
"I've never done such a thing in my life." Qi Jin lay on the ground, covered in dust.
Zhou Ran stood aside and said, "Well, I'll grant you your wish. You'll have no regrets in this life. You can carry that pile of stuff and throw it away later."
"Oh, evil capitalists." Qi Jin sat up. Why could Wang Hongyu run to play with the child in the middle of his work?
Xu Ke handed him some water and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Boss Qi."
Qi Jin saw Yan Nian, her cousin, who was pretty and had a loud voice. He immediately changed his attitude and waved his hand: "Well, it's just a small matter."
Qi Jin stood up, dusted off the dust, and chatted with her.
Mu Chen was adjusting the lights in the distance. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, he came over and said with a gentle smile, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."
Qi Jin looked up at the man in front of him. He was well-mannered, clean and refreshing. I heard that he was also a psychological counselor. None of this mattered. What mattered was that the way he looked at his cousin Yan Nian seemed a little strange. Were they in love?
Hey! A sea breeze blew, and Qi Jin felt a chill on his back.
Qi Jin smiled and said, "I'll go over and see if there's anything else I can help with. You guys can chat."
After saying that, he quickly slipped away. He also had a fiancée.
Xu Ke ordered Mu Chen: "There's a light over there that's not on, go check it out."
Mu Chen said, "Okay."
On the other hand, the three of them bought movie tickets from nine to eleven o'clock. The movie was a mediocre romance, but Xu Mi and Xu Xinrui watched it with great interest.
It took Yan Nian a long time to get into the movie. She really couldn't get into it.
She sat there until eleven o'clock, when the movie ended. Xu Mi stood up, stretched, and continued to plan her next itinerary.
“I want to go to the beach and take pictures.”
She took a look at Yan Nian's outfit. This girl seemed to know what she was going to do tonight. She was wearing a French white mid-sleeved long dress and beautiful long curly hair that was black. She was chic and unique. She really looked like a white moonlight with fairy-like aura. There was no need to dress up specially.
Yan Nian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Xu Xinrui laughed out loud: "You don't know yet, she acts silly when she sees a beautiful woman, and it's not the first or second time."
Xu Mi was unhappy: "You are stupid, I am also a beauty!"
Yan Nian pushed her forward and said, "Then go back and look at yourself in the mirror. Come on, we still have to go to the beach."
When they were leaving, Xu Xinrui and Xu Mi's phones rang with notifications at the same time. Xu Xinrui glanced at the screen and said, "I need to go to the bathroom."
Xu Mi followed and said, "I'm going too."
"..." Why are these two people always so mysterious? Yan Nian was waiting for them at the cinema entrance.
After the two men came out, they hurriedly pulled her towards the beach.
These two people went to the toilet, wouldn’t they be stupid?
Xu Mi posed in various ways, and it took the two of them quite a while to take pictures of her.
Keep walking forward, there is no one else except the three of them.
At this time, the color of the sea water could no longer be distinguished. Occasionally, the sea breeze blew, and the trees nearby swayed. If it were not for the sound of children playing in the distance, Yan Nian would have thought he had entered an isolated island.
It was quite strange that there was suddenly no one else here. Zhou Ran had brought her to this beach before, and it was quite lively at night.
Yan Nian pulled them aside and said, "Don't go over there, there's no one there."
Xu Mi held her tightly: "Hey, it's exciting without people! Let's go."
Xu Mi was very strong, and Yan Nian felt that she was being deliberate, so she had no choice but to follow them. After walking for about a few minutes, they saw a cluster of light in front of them, as if someone was taking pictures with a light.
Yan Nian couldn't see clearly.
Xu Xinrui and Xu Mi slowly backed away, putting some distance between them and her.
Yan Nian walked forward and finally noticed something strange. With every step she took, blue star lights lit up on both sides of her feet.
Wherever she goes, there is light.
At this time, a big white bear suddenly appeared, holding a bag of rainbow candies half a person's height and waving at her. She had seen bags filled with popcorn, but had never seen bags filled with rainbow candies, and there were so many of them.
There was a photographer following behind the bear.
Yan Nian was stunned for a few seconds. She looked back and saw that Xu Xinrui and Xu Mi did not move forward. They were holding hands, just smiling and saying nothing.
Yan Nian's heart began to beat wildly.
She looked forward again and saw that Big Bear had walked up to her and handed her a bouquet of flowers. However, it was not real flowers. It was a glass ball tied in the middle of blue wrapping paper like a bouquet of flowers. There were small lights on inside and it was filled with rainbow candies.
Yan Nian's heart was shocked, and she immediately realized that he was busy and had been lying to her. Considering the various magical reactions of Xu Xinrui and Xu Mi tonight, she had never thought about it that way, and it was quite sudden.
Yan Nian had already guessed what was waiting for her.
This might be the scene in every girl’s dream. Yan Nian never thought that one day she would become the protagonist.
Stepping on the blue light carpet, they seemed to be guiding her, allowing her to cross the Milky Way and go deep into the end, where she could see the person she wanted to see.
Daxiong led her forward, with many people on both sides handing her bouquets of rainbow candies. Until they saw Xu Yiqing, Yao Lijun, Yan Qilin, and other familiar family members and friends standing on both sides of the road covered with white flowers and lights, Yan Nian's eyes began to blur.
Listening to the deafening blessings and encouragement, Yan Nian, under the guidance of her relatives and friends, saw a man standing in the light holding a bouquet of rainbow flowers. He was wearing a neat dark suit and tie, just like usual, but he was different from usual, because today he was the protagonist, her protagonist alone, and he would be the protagonist in the future.
Xu Ke and his men surrounded her, pushed her in front of Zhou Ran, and then turned back to the crowd.
Zhou Ran suppressed his usual frivolous demeanor and looked at her deeply.
Yan Nian also looked at him.
When they looked at each other, suddenly, they both smiled.
Yan Nian sniffed and wiped the liquid from the corners of his eyes.
"Oh~" Qi Jin took the lead and made the atmosphere on the scene a little more heated.
Wait until it calms down.
Zhou Ran said to her: "I never told you..."
Yan Nian didn't wait for him to finish and asked, "Are you going to give me such a big surprise?"
Zhou Ran said, "I guess so, but there is one thing I have never told you..."
Yan Nian was curious. Besides this big surprise, what else was there that she didn't know about? "What?"
Zhou Ran glanced into the distance, smiled, and said affirmatively, "We both fell in love with each other on the same day."
Before meeting her, Zhou Ran didn't believe in such ridiculous words as love at first sight. It was not until he saw the elegant girl through the glass door that he admitted that his heart was moved.
For a long time, he thought that she no longer liked him, or that she had never liked him at all.
I went to Lingyun University to recruit people with great fanfare, but I only received the news that she was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
He thought that it would be good to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and it would not be impossible to wait for another three years.
When people feel powerless, they always think of letting things take their own course, but Zhou Ran only believes that "everything has been arranged in advance."
He can't pretend that everything is going well, but he is willing to "fall" for someone.
He secretly inquired about her news in Lingyun. Every time he saw her come back and stay for a few days, she would hurriedly fly back to Lingyun, and he could only watch her silently from a distance.
The only thing I don’t know is whether she has a new boyfriend.
If so, then probably, he will no longer have the courage to fall in love with someone.
It was not until they were together that Zhou Ran realized that neither of them liked the other more.
Yan Nian looked at him with red eyes: "So, before you confessed to me, we both had a secret crush on each other."
"Um."
Yan Nian thought again of the boy who fanned himself with his T-shirt in the van, took her out for midnight snacks, and caught rainbows for her. He was a little silly, but also very warm.
That is the color engraved in her bones, which will bring her sunny days. All the unhappiness will disappear with his appearance.
Yan Nian knew that it was not her who went back to Lindu to get Zhou Ran back, but that Zhou Ran had always been by her side.
Yan Nian's pounding heart slowly calmed down, and she said, "Actually, I've had the urge to hug you a long time ago."
He might ask, "When?" and she would answer precisely, the time he gave her the rainbow.
Zhou Ran didn't ask, but said, "Me too."
We have missed the opportunity to hug each other, it doesn’t matter, there will be more time in the future; but that person can only be you.
"Yanyan, I want to become a real family with you. Will you marry me?" Zhou Ran wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and gave her the bouquet of flowers in his arms.
Relatives and friends at the scene wiped their tears and shouted, "Marry him, marry him..."
The two elderly people, Lian Song Zhiyin and Yao Lijun, were so angry that their eyes turned red.
Yan Nian took the flowers and said in a trembling voice, "I do."
That was someone she had accumulated all her luck to meet, so how could she not be willing?
There were cheers and whistles at the scene.
Zhou Ran took out the diamond ring from the ring box and slowly put it into Yan Nian's ring finger. He kissed the diamond ring that was the only one of its kind in his life.
At this moment, he could finally hug and kiss his fiancée in another capacity.
After the ceremony was completed, everyone gathered around with applause.
Behind the crowd, there were still two couples who had not moved forward.
Xu Ke's eyes were red from crying. Mu Chen took her hand and handed her a tissue: "Don't cry."
Xu Ke said: "You don't know, I watched them grow up, it's so sad."
Mu Chen patted her back gently and said jokingly, "Why does it feel like you're getting your daughter married?"
Xu Ke wiped away her tears: "What are you talking about?"
Mu Chen suddenly became serious: "Look, Yan Nian and Zhou Ran have both achieved enlightenment, and we are already old. When will you agree to go with me to meet my parents?"
Xu Ke glared at him: "That's all your sincerity, and you even tricked me into meeting the parents."
Xu Ke felt a little regretful after he finished speaking. Old men like Mu Chen are the most repressed and can do anything.
Sincerity turns into fear in him.
When they were at a class reunion, he stood in the huge KTV box, holding the microphone and confessed his love to her with a serious face. She almost died on the spot. Xu Ke still gets horrified when she thinks about it.
Being chubby, she felt somewhat inferior in front of Mu Chen. Everyone called her Fatty Coco, which was not at all pleasant, and she had a rather loud voice.
She treated Mu Chen as a buddy, but Mu Chen wanted to be her boyfriend. In that situation, her chubby old face turned red as if it was dripping with blood.
She was scared by Mu Chen, so now whenever a man wanted to get close to her, she would unconsciously recall the moment of her social failure that year. She still remembered how she ran away at that time.
Mu Chen chased her out, stopped her and asked her where she was going. The classmates also ran out to look at them.
She wanted to run, but the zipper of her clothes got caught on Mu Chen's sweater. It was so embarrassing. She wanted to walk but couldn't, so she just took off her coat and threw it to him before running away.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll show my sincerity, and you'll go with me to meet the parents."
Xu Ke gritted his teeth and nodded.
Mu Chen quickly kissed her on the cheek. Xu Ke was so scared that she shrank her neck, staring at him for a moment like a violated animal, then left him and ran towards the crowd.
Mu Chen smiled at the figure's back, took out his phone and sent a message home: [I'm one step closer to success.]
His parents replied in unison: "Until you bring it back, it's not considered a success."
Mu Chen smiled at the message.
As for the other couple, Xu Mi was feeling extremely melancholy, which was enhanced by the atmosphere on the scene. Qi Jin, this idiot, didn't even know what romance was!
Qi Jin seemed to see through everything about her and raised his hand to try to put his arm around her shoulders.
Xu Mi glared at him warily: "What are you doing?"
Qi Jin immediately withdrew his hand. Feeling a little embarrassed, he said disdainfully, "It's just a small scene. We can make a bigger one someday."
Xu Mi was so angry that she stepped on him and ran away.
Qi Jin's feet hurt, so he chased after her again: "Why are you running?"
Today's protagonist was still surrounded in the middle. Just after twelve o'clock, someone pushed a two-layer exquisite cake over.
This birthday was very special. When Yan Nian was about to turn 26 to 27, Zhou Ran proposed to her.
Zhao Shutong and Cheng Xiao were busy lighting candles and putting on birthday hats for the birthday boy.
After the cheerful birthday song, Zhou Ran said, "Make a wish."
Yan Nian clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
In the future, when she is thirty-seven, forty-seven, fifty-seven, sixty-seven... Zhou Ran will always be by her side like he is now.
Yan Nian opened her eyes, blew out the candles, and distributed the cake to the people present.
There are also some Boya employees.
Someone invited us to take a group photo, and everyone naturally moved towards Yan Nian and Zhou Ran. The two stood in the middle, their faces smeared with cream.
As the photographer pointed the camera towards them: "1, 2, 3."
Everyone held the cut cake and shouted in unison: "Happy birthday, Yan Nian!"
The photo was captured in the camera, and tonight will become the most precious record in their lives.
