Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng was unusually silent for a few seconds before saying, "A long, long time ago."
"How long is 'very early'?"
Seeing his hesitant expression, Qiao Zhen suddenly felt an urge to get to the bottom of things.
Lu Zheng suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Don't you remember...?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt the fragments in her mind gradually piecing together to form a larger puzzle.
In an instant, many musical notes entered her mind, and she vaguely felt that it was a long, long time ago that she had sung this song with a boy.
“I…” Qiao Zhen hesitated, but when she met Lu Zheng’s disappointed eyes, a wave of guilt washed over her.
"I'm sorry, but I've already come up with a rough outline. Please allow me to think about it some more."
"It's okay, I won't force you to do this."
Lu Zheng seemed to have suddenly felt relieved.
After ending the call, Qiao Zhen suddenly found that the duet song from earlier that day kept lingering in her mind for some reason.
She was so tired that she didn't sleep well all night.
The next day, when Lu Zheng saw Qiao Zhen appear in front of him with dark circles under her eyes, he couldn't help but frown.
"What did you do last night? Why are you sleeping like this?"
Qiao Zhen looked aggrieved: "Last night, I was thinking about you?"
After all, if she wasn't mistaken, these fragments of her memory were inextricably linked to Lu Zheng.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lu Zheng's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he nodded with great satisfaction.
"From now on, if you think of me during the day, you can sleep peacefully at night."
After saying that, Lu Zheng kissed Shen Si on the forehead, completely disregarding the other guests present.
Just then, Qiao Zhen felt a very strong gaze sweeping over her from all around.
She didn't even need to look to know she was deep in thought.
Remembering what Lu Zheng had said to her last night, Qiao Zhen felt awkward and didn't want to look him in the eye.
Soon, they reached the end of the program.
The last activity involved using everyone's cash to prepare a surprise for the other person.
Qiao Zhen was somewhat worried because there was only one day of daylight available.
First of all, they don't have the most money, so their budget is definitely not enough, and the time is so short, where can she find a gift that suits her?
As the deadline approached, Qiao Zhen became increasingly anxious and worried.
In the end, she chose her favorite flowers and learned flower arranging to make a bouquet for Lu Zheng.
When the time came, everyone exchanged gifts with each other.
She was incredibly nervous, after all, someone like Lu Zheng had seen all kinds of gifts, so the more thoughtful the gift, the better.
Seeing Qiao Zhen's very nervous appearance, Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile.
"I really like it, Zhenzhen."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen looked up with a hint of surprise: "Really? You really like it?"
"Of course, I'll like anything you prepare for me."
No girl dislikes sweet words, and upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's face couldn't help but brighten.
"So what gift have you prepared for me?"
Qiao Zhen asked.
Lu Zheng suddenly pointed to the ground.
In an instant, all the lights in the square were turned on, and the dazzling light illuminated the patterns on the ground clearly.
Qiao Zhen initially found it dazzling, but after opening her eyes and seeing clearly, she suddenly widened her eyes.
In the open space of the square, there was a self-portrait of Qiao Zhen.
Although painted, the result is still remarkably lifelike.
"Did you draw this?"
Qiao Zhen asked, somewhat surprised.
"I guess so. I designed the pattern, but the construction was done by a professional."
Lu Zheng said uncertainly.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen's surprise didn't diminish at all. She looked the painting over like a tourist, and finally couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so well painted! I... the gift I prepared for you was so ordinary..."
It's not that Qiao Zhen could put her heart into preparing, but she rarely gives gifts to male friends, especially under such strict conditions.
Most importantly, Lu Zheng didn't mind.
“Zhenzhen, I told you.” Lu Zheng pulled Qiao Zhen into his arms. “Anything you give me, I’ll like.”
"Thump thump"
Qiao Zhen opened her eyes wide and listened intently to the heartbeat.
She didn't know if it was hers or his, but none of that mattered.
What matters is how you feel right now.
Unparalleled.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Lu Zheng had said yesterday.
Will you marry me, Zhenzhen?
At this time, online forums were buzzing with discussions about the two of them.
"They really are a couple, their love is just so sweet!"
"It's so sweet, it really touches my heart. When will I be able to have a sweet romance like this?"
While netizens were congratulating the couple on their relationship, Chen Si, standing to the side, was not so happy.
She stared at the two embracing tightly, her expression vicious, wishing she could rip Qiao Zhen's heart out and devour it.
After going through all these things, it was time for this episode to come to an end.
Qiao Zhen then realized, as if from a dream, that she had been here for almost a week.
"So many days have already passed!" Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised; her company still had many tasks to complete!
"Don't worry, I've got people following up on all the projects you have on hand, so it won't interfere with your work."
