Chapter 536 Zhao Yeqing
"Don't move, look."
Mu Xi's hand was still holding her wrist. On a summer night, body temperature would increase exponentially when skin touched each other.
Hot and humid.
So much so that after the skin is released, the coolness is particularly obvious.
When Mu Xi's hand left Zhao Yeqing's wrist, the surrounding bushes were startled by Mu Xi's voice, and flashing spots of light flew out from it.
The silent forest at night is awakened by the flowing light, and the soft light seems to cover the grass and trees with a light veil.
Zhao Yeqing was stunned. He was attracted by this dreamlike scene and took a step forward involuntarily.
All the fireflies in the grass were startled at once, and the yellow-green starlight illuminated the surroundings. She widened her eyes and wanted to grab the corner of Mu Xi's clothes, excitedly wanting to share her feelings with him.
But his hand was empty, and when he turned around -
The man behind him knelt on one knee, holding a ring in his hand, his expression tense as if he was on a mission of life and death. Upon closer inspection, the arm holding the ring was trembling a little.
He said: "I know you don't have any idea about changing the relationship, because for you, it doesn't make any difference whether there is today or not, but I have been imagining this moment for many years..."
Zhao Yeqing felt her throat gradually becoming sore and swollen that she couldn't speak. She really didn't think that marriage was a secure thing since she was a child. Just like her parents, they had a marriage and she was born, but the resentment they felt when they separated was even stronger than the love they had at the beginning.
"When I first came back, I didn't know how to make our relationship familiar again, so I would deliberately say something irritating, just like when we were kids. Later, when you dug out your grandfather's wine and cried while hugging me, I truly understood the anxiety and sadness in your heart.
Later, you were willing to be with me. For a long time, I was in a state of extreme unreality, even more unreal than the earth cracking...
I hope you are happy every day. I didn’t look for you before the ground cracked. Life was a mess at that time. I thought you were doing well and it didn’t matter whether I showed up or not. It wasn’t until after the ground cracked that I found out you were alone in the mountains... It may be a little mean, but at that moment I knew that my chance had come. "
Zhao Yeqing had never felt that the cold white metallic luster was so dazzling. It was brighter than all the stars in the mountains and forests.
"I'm not very good at expressing myself, so this time I asked several people to help me think about what to say at this moment. Everyone gave a lot of ideas, and there was a thick stack of manuscripts... But the old lady said, there's no need to ask them, I'll know what to say at that moment. Now it seems that old people are really good.
She said that long-lasting sincerity is more precious than romance...but I want to give you both my sincerity and romance."
Mu Xi raised his other hand and held his own trembling hand that was holding the ring. He looked a little annoyed, as if he was angry at himself for not doing his best at the critical moment. After taking a deep breath to steady his hand, he looked at Zhao Yeqing with a firm look.
"Will you give me a long-term chance?"
Zhao Yeqing didn't remember how he nodded, how he stretched out his hand and let the ring, which was heated by his body temperature, lock onto his finger, or how he was embraced in a hot embrace...
Her mind had become a mess, and both her smiles and tears were expressions of happiness.
Mu Xi's proposal ceremony ended perfectly under the witness of four elderly people. When the two walked out of the yard, his smile was still there, and of course Zhao Yeqing's was the same.
Now it really feels a bit like when we first got together.
I feel a little embarrassed for some reason.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Mu Xi spoke first: "Where do you want to sleep tonight? I have already made the bed here."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yeqing finally understood what had been going on for the past two days.
"So you lied to me yesterday when you said the captain wanted you to go into the city? That's why you came back this morning looking tired and with dark circles under your eyes. Were you busy all day in Meishan yesterday? And you lied to me that someone's birthday is coming today?"
Mu Xi immediately explained: "I didn't lie to you! The captain did find me, but I asked him to help me get the ring, and he found me after it was done. I didn't lie to you about coming to Meishan, I only said I was going into the city, I didn't say I slept in the city last night, and you made up your birthday..."
Zhao Yeqing was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case. This man did not lie to her. He just saw that she misunderstood but did not explain. No wonder she was hesitant.
When she thought about how this person prepared all these, she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.
"Just stay here tonight. We've already fed the kids at home. We can go back tomorrow."
Zhao Yeqing walked upstairs and opened the door of her room which she had not opened for several years. Unexpectedly, there was no strange smell inside, and there was even a faint fragrance. There was a string of small light beads on the head of the bed. Mu Xi walked over and turned them on. The light beads lit up a soft warm yellow light, illuminating the brand new four-piece suit on the bed. The cream yellow color had some lace edges, which was very girly.
Mu Xi cleared his throat. "My cousin chose the bedding, my cousins brought the aromatherapy, and Feng Lixuan chose the lamp beads. He was so moved by the story the old lady told that he burst into tears and said he wanted to choose a light that looked like a firefly."
Zhao Yeqing smiled with red eyes. Tonight's arrangements contained the thoughts and blessings of so many people.
"Didn't you say earlier that everyone had written a bunch of manuscripts but hadn't used them? Bring them here so I can see. And what story did the old lady tell?"
Mu Xi opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a stack of white paper, each of which was filled with black notes. He did not hand it to Zhao Yeqing, but took her hand, sat on the bed, raised his hand and wiped away the tears that were about to fall when she saw the manuscript full of love, and said:
"I didn't use your manuscripts, but the old lady gave me a handwritten collection of poems that your grandmother left behind. She was a gentle and romantic person. There was a paragraph in the poem that I thought was very suitable for you, so I memorized it.
'You have completed your survival,
You light your own lamp;
All you have is your own.
You are indebted to no one;
You just obeyed.
The power within you.
You broke free from the bonds of darkness,
You are small, but you are not insignificant.
Because all the light in the universe,
They are all your relatives...'
The old lady said that this is the origin of your name. Fireflies are also called night-lightning fireflies. They are a species that live in pure forests, just like you when you returned to Meishan...
The first time I told the old lady that I wanted to propose to her, I was afraid that you still had some reservations. She told me to tell you that life is as short as a firefly, and nothing can compare to your own happiness. No matter what happens, you will always have them behind you. "
