The three-day holiday was over quickly, and Qi Yijuan had everything ready except for Qiao Zhen.
At the beginning, Qi Yijuan used the excuse of "going to F country for a trip to familiarize himself with the environment" to lure Qiao Zhen to a famous romantic place in F country.
At first, Qiao Zhen believed it to be true. Furthermore, because of her trust in Qi Yijuan, she didn't bring her brain with her when she went out.
Later that evening, Qi Yijuan made up another excuse to leave. Qiao Zhen waited for a long time but Qi Yijuan did not return. Fearing that something had happened to him, she went out to look for him. She found that the ground outside the door was covered with roses forming an "arrow through a heart," with each arrow pointing in the same direction.
No wonder the boy could persuade her to come here even with pleading and cajoling.
Qiao Zhen was wearing ten-centimeter high heels. With each step she took, the heels made a "tap" sound as they hit the ground.
Qi Yijuan stood in the grass outside, watching Qiao Zhen on the big screen. Every sound of her footsteps seemed to tread on his heart, making him tremble.
Qiao Zhen had no idea that there were cameras filming her on every street and projecting the footage onto a huge screen outside. Realizing she might be proposed to, she suddenly felt nervous and a little lost; this seemed to be the first time she'd been proposed to since she started her mission.
Oh no, she needs to pee.
Qiao Zhen turned and went into the bathroom. She used the toilet and then went to the sink to wash off her makeup. Oh, it's waterproof, so she decided to leave it.
She wiped the moisture off her face with a tissue, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly went outside.
But... something even more awkward happened: she couldn't seem to find her way back, even though there were signs directing her to the restroom.
Qiao Zhen didn't appear on the big screen for a long time. Qi Yijuan's heart gradually cooled down from trepidation and excitement. Finally, he flicked the ring off his hand and fell to the ground. He smiled gloomily, which made him seem even more eerie and profound.
The people around were also a little uneasy. While they were gossiping, they couldn't help but look forward to the appearance of the female lead.
Qiao Zhen was still wandering around aimlessly when she couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Which idiot's shop is this?"
Qiao Zhen's voice appeared on the big screen.
As Qi Yijuan turned around, he turned back again. He didn't see Qiao Zhen's figure on the big screen, but he heard Qiao Zhen muttering something about left or right.
The muttering sound was like a paintbrush, filling the darkness in his heart with color.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his face. It turned out that Qiao Zhen had lost her way back after leaving. It was also his fault for only having the hotel staff lay down the "arrow through the heart" sign on the single road.
Suddenly, Qiao Zhen's face appeared on the big screen. She looked at the roses on the ground with relief, and then followed the arrow to the lawn outside.
There were heart-shaped roses everywhere, and Qi Yijuan looked at her expectantly.
Qiao Zhen didn't look at Qi Yijuan; her gaze was drawn to the large screen, where her face was magnified. She turned to look at Qi Yijuan, only to find that the boy had just been kneeling on the ground.
A red carpet was laid between the two of them, surrounded by red heart-shaped lights.
The large screen was divided into two parts: one showing Qiao Zhen, and the other showing Qi Yijuan kneeling in front of Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen walked across the red carpet with each step steady. When she reached Qi Yijuan, she knelt down on one knee. "It's a good thing I'm wearing a long dress today. Don't do things like this in the future. It's not suitable for you."
Everyone around assumed that Qiao Zhen's next words would be a refusal or an apology.
Qiao Zhen smiled and said, "I should do it."
She got up, plucked a handful of grass from the nearby lawn, and quickly wove it into a grass ring. She bent down to help the boy up, then knelt on one knee, holding the grass ring in her hands. "Okay, I admit it was a bit rushed. But, Qi Yijuan, will you marry me?"
Qi Yijuan's eyes were a little moist. He handed his hand to Qiao Zhen and said, "I do."
The people around were all relatives of the Qi family, who had come at the invitation. The main branch of the Qi family also sent people to join in the fun.
Qiao Zhen slipped the grass ring onto Qi Yijuan's finger. She stood up, raised her hand, and ruffled Qi Yijuan's hair. "I was gone for a while. Were you overthinking things again?"
Qi Yijuan hugged Qiao Zhen's shoulder tightly, "It's all your fault for running around like that!"
The boy's petulant scolding made Qiao Zhen chuckle. She leaned close to his ear and said, amused, "Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes, you can't wait. Who told you to put a big screen on outside? You scared yourself."
Qi Yijuan gave a light snort and ignored Qiao Zhen's attempts to coax him.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the waiters pushed a row of wedding dresses into the suite.
Qiao Zhen looked at the wedding dress with a puzzled expression, and finally fixed her gaze on the boy's face.
Qi Yijuan blushed slightly again. "I've promised to marry you, so I'll naturally keep my promise. How about tomorrow or the day after?"
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh again, but after a moment, she deliberately put on a cold face and said, "You're only marrying me because of a promise, you're not sincere, so why should I marry you?"
The boy knelt on the sofa, his hands on his thighs, looking extremely obedient. He eagerly retorted, "I truly meant it!"
Qiao Zhen took out the wedding dresses from the shelf and tried them on one by one, finally choosing a strapless wedding dress.
Qi Yijuan was a little unhappy, as it exposed her arms and a bit of her chest. Moreover, Qiao Zhen looked too beautiful in that wedding dress, and he didn't want others to see how beautiful Qiao Zhen was.
But the boy was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he could only silently sulk.
Qiao Zhen was also a little confused. She didn't know why the boy was angry again, so she could only ask, "What's wrong? Didn't that outfit look good?"
