Qin Ge looked into her eyes and said, "Promise me."
Midsummer was like finding the answer to a homework assignment: "Yes! I must promise you! I do!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Ge hugged her in the car and kissed her lips deeply. Shengxia blushed and took a deep breath. She felt dizzy. She watched Qin Ge put the ring on her. After a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Um, Qin Ge, should I wear that ring? This one seems a bit big and keeps falling down..."
Qin Ge then realized that he had taken the wrong ring in a panic. He quickly took the other one from the box and put it on her again. Shengxia looked at the man who had just calmly promised her, and now was frantically changing the ring. She burst out laughing and fell on Qin Ge with a smile.
Qin Ge grabbed her hand and said, "Don't laugh... laugh after you put it on. This is also my first time proposing..."
Shengxia wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "This is the first time I said I do, too. Hahaha, you're so corny, but I'm so happy!"
They kissed in the car, and Shengxia put a ring on Qin Ge's finger: "Qin Ge, let's go to our new home quickly, I can't wait!"
Qin Ge took the food he bought for her from the back seat and said, "I'll take you there now. Eat something first."
Haishi has changed so much compared to a few years ago that it is almost unrecognizable in midsummer. International skyscrapers are rising one after another, and the roads are much wider. Under the night sky, the prosperous night view of the riverside demonstrates the rapid development of this city.
While waiting for the red light, Qin Ge's hands were on the steering wheel. The man's handsome profile was flickering by the neon lights on the roadside, followed by his wrist. On the internet, the ring on his ring finger was shining.
Qin Ge turned sideways, picked up the bread crumbs that fell on Sheng Xia's clothes, and threw them into the bag. "Now that you're back home, you're waiting for me to do everything for you, right? Hurry up and grab a bag to catch them."
Shengxia swallowed the bread in her mouth, opened her mouth and took Qin Ge's finger in, licking off the crumbs on his fingertips: "You are so wasteful, my husband works very hard to make money! Help me pick it up, I can also eat the ones that fell on the car..."
Qin Ge couldn't help laughing because of her teasing, and pinched her face: "Stop messing around."
Shengxia's flight arrived at night. The car drove around the outer ring road for a while. Shengxia finally couldn't stand the sleepiness brought by the long flight. When she woke up, Qin Ge was holding her and carrying her luggage as they went upstairs from the elevator.
Shengxia opened her sleepy eyes. Qin Ge took off her shoes and turned on the light. The huge living room instantly became bright. Shengxia was immediately shocked by the beautiful scenery on the other side of the river: "Qin Ge, this is too beautiful! I can actually see the riverside!!"
Qin Ge put her down, and Sheng Xia ran to the terrace. Their villa had five floors, three above ground and two underground, with a large private swimming pool underneath. Sheng Xia said excitedly, "Qin Ge, how much does this villa cost? You picked such a great location. Such a large and luxurious villa will definitely be worth a fortune in the future!"
"Silly, it's not cheap now." Qin Ge touched Shengxia's head lovingly.
Seeing her money-obsessed look, Qin Ge felt that it was worth it no matter how expensive it was.
Shengxia excitedly threw her arms around Qin Ge's neck and jumped on him: "Is this the proposal gift you gave me? I love it so much, even more than the ring! Hold me, and let's go for a spin!"
Qin Ge laughed and said, "You'd like it."
Qin Ge carried her up and down the stairs, and Shengxia was grinning from ear to ear. After the whole walk, Shengxia's face was sore from laughing, and she finally remembered to call her grandmother to let her know she was safe.
"Grandma, Grandma, I've already arrived in Hai City! Don't worry! I'm fine. I'm not airsick, not at all. Qin Ge picked me up at the airport and won't leave me homeless!"
Grandma waited by the phone until late at night, saying, "Okay, okay, it's good that you're back. I've been worried about you being out there all these years."
After Shengxia went to Germany, Grandma was alone in Qingshui and missed her. Shengxia was worried about Grandma's "lovesickness", so she asked Grandma to go find Sister Qiaoqiao. After Sister Qiaoqiao left, she contracted a farm for herself, so she had something to do.
"Xia Xia, you're almost 28 this year, and it's a good opportunity for you to return to China. We have high education and work for the government. Your grandmother has introduced you to a partner who is a teacher at a school and is the same age as you. Pick a date when you're on vacation in Hai City..."
Shengxia was overwhelmed when she heard this: "Grandma!! If you think so, I'm almost 30! I just returned to China, and I don't know what's going on at work yet. I don't have the energy to do this right now..."
Grandma scolded her: "How can you not have the intention to find a partner? Look at Zhenhua, his son already calls him dad. During the Chinese New Year, the couple brought home a big fat boy. It was so lively. You can't wait any longer. If you wait any longer, you will become an old maid..."
"Okay, okay, grandma, don't worry!"
Shengxia laughed and chatted with her grandmother for a few more words, asking her to take care of herself. Then she hung up the phone and went downstairs to find Qin Ge.
Qin Ge was smoking on the terrace, his back to him, talking on the phone. Perhaps it was something going on at the company, as the night breeze blew his hair and shirt.
"Qin Ge..."
Shengxia was dazed for a moment, her pupils trembling. She unexpectedly felt that the back of Qin Ge in front of her was exactly the same as the Qin Ge from another time and space who had searched for her for years and whose hair turned white overnight for her.
Shengxia stood there in a daze, her heartbeat seeming to stop at that moment, and all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her head at that moment.
Qin Ge heard her voice and just hung up the phone: "Have you finished calling grandma?"
Shengxia's mind was spinning, and Qin Ge called her several times before she finally came to her senses and stopped dizziness.
She kept her eyes open all day, her mouth slightly open, breathing, and calming down...
No...this is not the Qin Ge from before. This is the Qin Ge of thirty years old. Everything has started over again.
She took a few deep breaths, and suddenly an inexplicable bitterness surged in her heart. Shengxia suppressed it and smiled at Qin Ge: "Qin Ge, other people kneel when proposing, but you didn't just kneel. I want you to propose to me again."
Shengxia took off the ring on her ring finger and handed it to Qin Ge: "Please ask for it again."
She always liked to act like a spoiled brat, and Qin Ge had gotten used to it over the years. He took the ring and asked, "Which leg should you kneel on?"
"It will be all right."
Qin Ge knelt on one knee on the terrace, with the quiet undercurrent of the river behind him. He raised the ring towards Shengxia: "Dear, marry me, okay?"
Shengxia stretched out her hand, and before Qin Ge could put it on her, she put her ring finger through the ring and put the ring tightly on her hand. She did not answer "I do" as she did in the car just now. Instead, she said:
"Qin Ge, I'm back. I will never leave you again."
