Qian Yu'an had two long classes in the morning, and they didn't finish until 11:50.
As soon as the bell rang, Qian Yu'an was the first to grab her bag and rush out of the classroom.
When she arrived at the lake, her pace slowed down. She tidied her hair and fanned herself to cool down her flushed face.
She told herself.
It's not like I've only known Song Yangmin for a short time.
It's been several hundred days.
It's someone I know.
They were acquaintances.
Qian Yu'an took a deep breath and came to the lakeside, where he saw Song Yangmin sitting on a bench facing the lake.
Seemingly sensing something, Song Yangmin immediately stood up and glanced to the side.
Qian Yu'an stopped abruptly as she watched Song Yangmin approach her step by step.
Song Yangmin took the bag from her and carried it, then said, "I'm all better now, are you acting silly again?"
Qian Yu'an frowned, "Song Yangmin!"
Song Yangmin smiled and naturally took Qian Yu'an's hand, their fingers intertwined.
"Let's go home."
During those several hundred days, the two had long since gone beyond being just friends.
If they were just ordinary friends, Qian Yu'an would accompany him to the hospital, take him for walks, take him out to play, and even come to the Song family's house for meals.
What's more, they recently went beyond just being ordinary friends!
It's just that... Song Yangmin seems a bit different from before.
Qian Yu'an couldn't help but look up at him.
Song Yangmin stopped and looked at her.
"Yu'an, there are some things I originally wanted to tell you when we got back to your home." Song Yangmin saw Qian Yu'an's reflection in his eyes.
Qian Yu'an's eyes darted around, and she clutched the hem of her shirt.
Song Yangmin used to be the shy one, so why is she shy now?
"What's wrong?"
Song Yangmin said gently, "I can't wait until we get home to talk about it, otherwise you'll be overthinking things the whole way."
"You're the one who's thinking nonsense! I didn't!"
Song Yangmin took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yu'an, thank you for staying by my side these past few days, helping me recover... I remember everything. I like you. Would you like to date me? I swear, I will be good to you for the rest of my life. If I can't do that—"
Qian Yu'an interrupted him.
"No, don't talk nonsense." Qian Yu'an's face turned as red as a tomato. She lowered her eyes and stared at her shoes, but her gaze fell on Song Yangmin's tightly clenched fist at the waist of his pants.
She chuckled softly.
I thought Song Yangmin had changed his ways, but it turns out he's still the same person.
She looked up at Song Yangmin's handsome face, which concealed his nervousness, and pursed her lips slightly.
"I promise you!"
Song Yangmin breathed a sigh of relief and then reached out to embrace Qian Yu'an.
"Yu'an, thank you."
Qian Yu'an: "No need to thank me. You were the one who pursued me first. I was just returning the favor. After all, even if we weren't dating, you'd still be a great companion!"
Song Yangmin squeezed her hand again.
"It's the object."
Qian Yu'an immediately laughed.
"Okay, okay, that's the one, alright?"
Song Yangmin's eyes showed helplessness. Oh well, as long as she's happy.
The two walked side by side toward the school gate, and ran into their classmate as they passed the cafeteria.
They all greeted Qian Yu'an, but their eyes couldn't help but fall on Song Yangmin.
Qian Yu'an introduced, "This is my boyfriend."
Song Yangmin nodded, but not very enthusiastically.
"Hello, hello, we are all Qian Yu'an's classmates."
"Yu'an, let's go eat first."
"Okay, bye-bye."
After the two had walked away, several classmates whispered among themselves.
"Qian Yu'an's boyfriend must be in the military. Look at that upright posture, I feel like he could kill me with one punch."
"So what if he's in the army? He's handsome, and he's so good to Yu'an. I even saw him bringing food to Yu'an this morning."
"He doesn't laugh much, which is a bit scary. I ran into him at the school gate last time."
Song Yangmin used to have a good temper. He survived many near-death experiences. His fundamental nature didn't change, but his outward personality did. He now has a stern face that can be quite intimidating.
On their way back, Song Yangmin and Qian Yu'an stopped at the market to buy groceries.
Song Yangmin paid for it and carried two bags of vegetables.
After going upstairs, Song Yangmin looked at Qian Yu'an, who was busy in the kitchen.
His clenched fist loosened and tightened again.
He stepped forward and said, "Yu'an, let me help you. You can sit down and rest."
Qian Yu'an: "It's okay, it'll be done soon."
Song Yangmin took the spatula from her hand. "Go out, the fruit is all washed."
Qian Yu'an didn't dwell on it and turned to leave.
Song Yangmin was alone in the kitchen. He touched his pocket and smiled slowly.
Song Yangmin made twice-cooked pork, stir-fried shredded potatoes with pork, dry-fried green beans, and sauerkraut and vermicelli soup.
All the dishes were placed on the table.
Song Yangmin took off his apron.
"Yu'an, dinner is ready."
"They're here."
Qian Yu'an was reading a book in her room.
"You've made so many dishes."
"Let's eat first."
Song Yangmin is a good cook, even better than Qian Yu'an, and his culinary skills far surpass those of Song Jianmin. He can be said to be the best cook in the Song family.
Midway through the meal, Qian Yu'an noticed a burning gaze fixed on his face.
She couldn't help but look up.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I can't even eat."
Song Yangmin stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Qian Yu'an, and took out a gold ring from his pocket.
My hands were shaking.
Song Yangmin looked up at Qian Yu'an, who was stunned and whose face was flushed.
His expression was earnest. "Yu'an, will you...will you marry me?"
Qian Yu'an felt heat emanating from her whole body.
Just two hours ago, I was asking her if she would like to be in a relationship.
He's proposing now??
"Yu'an, I thought about it for a long time last night. I... I want to marry you and spend my whole life with you. I don't want to date anymore. If you want to date, we can do that too. Let's get engaged first, and then we can get married when you want to, okay?"
After speaking, Song Yangmin's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he waited for Qian Yu'an's reply.
