Chapter 25 Proposal
Qiao Yu leaned against him quietly for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked hesitantly, "Cheng Sinian... do you understand?"
Jiang Zhan shook his head. "I haven't told him the truth yet. Do I want to tell him now?"
Qiao Yu shook her head and lay back in his arms, muttering, "Let's wait until tomorrow to see if it rains... What if... What if nothing happens in this life..." There was a hint of hope in her voice, "Although I think... maybe..."
"Ayu." Jiang Zhan suddenly interrupted her and gently lifted her chin.
"Hmm?" Qiao Yu met his eyes, somewhat bewildered. His eyes were filled with love, enthusiasm, possession, and... nervousness? What was he nervous about?
Qiao Yu was a little confused. Just as she was about to ask him, she saw Jiang Zhan holding her shoulders and taking a step back, putting some distance between them. Then he took out a delicate little box from his pocket and knelt down on his knees. "Will you marry me?"
It was a diamond ring.
The entire ring took on the shape of a crown. Three silver-white bands were studded with tiny diamonds. The top two bands intertwined, forming more intertwined diamond knots. Each knot was set with a small diamond, and the knots continued to intertwine, ultimately supporting a deep red gem the size of a pigeon egg in the center, like stars surrounding the moon.
"Ayu, I know I haven't done well enough... but today is the 22nd. According to the time you mentioned, tomorrow will be the day when the apocalypse breaks out. I can't wait any longer. Ayu, will you marry me?"
His voice was tight and stiff, with a slight tremor, but Qiao Yu felt that it was the sexiest voice she had ever heard in her two lifetimes.
He firmly extended his hands and knelt on the ground, his posture not like a proposal, but like a devout believer praying for the blessing of God. The love and enthusiasm in his eyes were so strong that they almost burned her.
Qiao Yu felt her heart skip a beat, and the tears in her eyes could not be stopped. She could only sob and nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, I do."
Seeing her nod, Jiang Zhan's face instantly showed a smile. He took her hand, solemnly put the ring on her finger, and then kissed her ring finger devoutly.
"Hurry up and get up..." Qiao Yu went over to pull him, with a mixture of tears and laughter on her face, "You idiot, who proposes on their knees?"
Jiang Zhan stood up and held her in his arms, kissing away her tears bit by bit, "I'm sorry, baby, time is too tight, nothing is prepared, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult situation." His voice was filled with guilt and apology.
Qiao Yu shook her head and hugged his waist tightly, "This is the best proposal I've ever seen."
It's rare to meet someone like this in life. He trusts her, loves her, holds her in his hands, protects her, and dotes on her. Even when he knows the end is approaching, he can't wait to give her a name and a home. What grievances can she have about marrying such a man?
Qiao Yu raised her head, looked at Jiang Zhan, and slowly stood on tiptoe. Her warm lips rested on Jiang Zhan's lips, disturbing his already unstable breathing. Then Jiang Zhan heard her delicate voice, word by word, saying the three words he wanted to hear most in his life -
"I love you."
"Snap", the chains that bound the beast broke.
Jiang Zhan bit her lips, not giving her any chance to breathe. His long tongue went straight into her mouth and stirred wildly, licking and sucking on the tip of her tongue non-stop.
"I love you too..." He whispered infatuatedly as their lips and tongues exchanged, "Ayu, my baby... I love you... I love you so much..."
Qiao Yu was half pushed and half hugged by him and fell on the bed. Her nightgown was quickly torn off, and her sensitive spots were captured by her long fingers, causing waves of heat in her body.
The room was soon filled with a charming heat.
Jiang Zhan was obsessed with her beauty and addicted to her love. Like a desperate madman, he would risk his life to stay with her until death.
Although he stayed up late the night before, Qiao Yu still woke up early the next morning. He glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was 5:35, less than three hours before the apocalypse began.
The view outside the window was obscured by heavy curtains, not a single ray of light visible. Jiang Zhan placed one hand under her neck and the other around her waist, sleeping in a state of absolute possession. Qiao Yu didn't want to disturb him, so she didn't get up. She just slowly reached out to grab the phone on the bedside table.
Unexpectedly, when she moved slightly, Jiang Zhan held her tighter in his arms, and his hand unconsciously patted her back.
Qiao Yu's body froze and he didn't dare to move. He looked at Jiang Zhan quietly. Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly met Jiang Zhan's open eyes.
Qiao Yu sighed, leaned over and rubbed his chin, and whispered apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"
Jiang Zhan shook his head and kissed her forehead, his voice a little hoarse from just waking up: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Qiao Yu nestled in his arms, quietly listening to his heartbeat, and muttered, "I can't sleep..."
Jiang Zhan sighed in his heart, touched her long hair, and coaxed her softly: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will take care of everything."
Qiao Yu didn't say anything, but just pressed herself closer to Jiang Zhan, as if all the suffering could be eliminated as long as she was in his arms.
When Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan came downstairs, Cheng Sinian had just finished making breakfast and was setting it on the table. Seeing the two of them coming down hand in hand, the first thing he did was look at Qiao Yu's hand. The large ruby was even more conspicuous against her fair skin. Cheng Sinian raised an eyebrow and said with an ambiguous smile, "Hey, should I call you Mrs. Jiang from now on?"
Qiao Yu blushed with shame, grabbed the bun on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, saying viciously: "Eat your meal!"
Jiang Zhan was quite satisfied with the "Mrs. Jiang". He glanced at Cheng Sinian with rare admiration, then happily served a bowl of porridge to Qiao Yu. He curled his lips and coaxed her softly, "Baby, be good. Eat first."
After this incident, Qiao Yu's heavy mood suddenly became much lighter.
After dinner, Qiao Yu walked into the living room, turned on the TV, tuned to the news channel, and then sat quietly on the sofa, staring at the sky outside the window.
There is no sun today, it is cloudy, just like in the previous life.
The sofa beside her collapsed, and Jiang Zhan sat over, put his arm around her waist, and watched with her quietly.
Seeing that both of them were looking out the window with serious expressions, Cheng Sinian walked over and looked at them suspiciously, "What are you two looking at?" There was nothing outside except the "cage" that had just been built a few days ago.
Qiao Yu's eyes were still fixed on the window, but he murmured, "Cheng Sinian, sit down first and wait a little longer... you'll know the result after a while..."
Cheng Sinian was puzzled, but he finally sat down and watched the news with a puzzled look on his face.
No one was talking in the living room, only the TV host's voice was calmly telling the morning news. Qiao Yu turned his head and glanced at the wall clock. It was half past seven.
She didn't know the exact time when the red rain fell in her previous life, she only vaguely remembered that it was around eight o'clock.
It’s almost time, only half an hour left.
