Chapter 180 Finale Part 2
The observatory had been decorated in a different way. There was a small wooden table next to it with wine on it. Jiang Yushan had someone prepare this in the afternoon, saying that he planned to bring Han Zhili over in the evening.
There are two telescopes placed against the fence, one ordinary telescope and one astronomical telescope.
The meteor shower has not yet arrived, but Chen Zhan is quite interested in stargazing through an astronomical telescope. Zhou Jingyu went to teach her that in late July and early August, one can see Lyra and Aquila, as well as the Perseus that Chen Zhan was about to mention. If one is lucky, one can also see Scorpio and Sagittarius.
Chen Zhan said excitedly, "I know the two constellations, Lyra and Aquila, are called Vega and Altair, and are known as the symbols of summer love, right?"
Under the night sky, Chen Zan's clear eyes were still bright. In Zhou Jingyu's eyes, these eyes were more dazzling than the starry sky above his head.
He hummed calmly, "They are part of the Summer Triangle, but there's also the theory you just mentioned."
Seeing Chen Zan's keen interest, Zhou Jingyu lowered his head and continued to adjust the equipment for her. If he was lucky, he might be able to see everything tonight.
At 11:50 pm, Chen Zhan suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Zhou Jingyu, look! The meteor shower is coming."
Zhou Jingyu looked up. Apart from the stars in the sky, he saw no sign of a meteor shower. Chen Zhan handed him the telescope and said, "Take this and look at it."
The weather is good tonight. If there is a large-scale meteor shower as Chen Zhan just said, it will be visible to the naked eye. However, I still followed her instructions and took the telescope to look in the direction she pointed.
At this moment, drones flew into the sky and lit up, forming a string of special numbers in rows.
Zhou Jingyu's heart skipped a beat and he put down the telescope to make sure it wasn't just an illusion.
However, the drone in the sky was still there. Chen Zhan asked with a smile, "Zhou Jingyu, did you see it?"
Zhou Jingyu asked in surprise: "Zhanzhan, what is this?"
Chen Zhan: "After seeing this string of numbers, do you remember anything?"
"Sorry, Zhanzhan, forgive my ignorance, but what does this 1006 mean?" Zhou Jingyu's eyes flashed with confusion, "Perhaps you can give me a clue."
"It means October 6th. We first met on October 6th six years ago." She sighed, as if she felt sorry for Zhou Jingyu for not guessing it. "Mr. Zhou was difficult to approach that day and didn't like to talk much, but he must have really liked me making tea, right?"
Although Chen Zan appears calm on the surface and can even pretend to be relaxed and joking, in fact, the palms of his hands behind his back are sweating from nervousness.
A flash of shock crossed Zhou Jingyu's face, and then he remembered something. A gentle smile appeared in his eyes as he said, "He doesn't like to talk because he fell in love with that little girl at first sight six years ago. He doesn't know what to say and is afraid that saying too much will make mistakes and scare the little girl."
This time it was Chen Zan's turn to be shocked. She knew that Zhou Jingyu must like her very much, but she thought he was just interested in her at first and only felt moved later.
But I didn't expect to hear from him today that it was love at first sight? This is really a special gain tonight.
Chen Zhan was stunned and said, "Zhou Jingyu... So you've liked me so long ago."
Zhou Jingyu did not deny it. "I fell in love with you at first sight, but you were very afraid of me at that time."
Chen Zhan felt happy but also a little bitter. "After all, Mr. Zhou was unattainable back then. I'm just an ordinary female student, so it's normal for me to be afraid."
Zhou Jingyu chuckled: "Chen Zan, you really underestimate yourself."
She was not ordinary at all. Without saying or doing anything, he had already fallen for her willingly and irresistibly.
Seeing that the topic had gone off topic, Chen Zhan tightened the box in his hand and said, "Today is your birthday, and I haven't given you a birthday present yet."
Zhou Jingyu reached out and held her in his arms, kissing her forehead. "As long as you are by my side, you are my best gift."
Besides, at his age, it is not customary to celebrate birthdays, let alone receive birthday gifts, but if his girlfriend wants to give him a surprise, he still has to cooperate.
Chen Zhan struggled out, "No, you have to be serious."
Zhou Jingyu nodded, "Okay, then let me guess, what is your gift?"
Chen Zhan: "There's a reward for guessing it."
Zhou Jingyu raised his eyebrows, "Use a new posture tonight?"
Chen Zhan: “…”
Seriousness lasts no more than three seconds.
"Is it related to drones?" Zhou Jingyu began to guess slowly.
Chen Zan shook his head.
"Does it have anything to do with the commemoration of our first meeting?"
The man chuckled: "Are you going to pick stars for me?"
Zhou Jingyu glanced at him and nodded his head with his hands behind his back. He tried to guess several times but none of them were correct.
Chen Zhan glanced at the time, which was almost midnight, and began to speak seriously, "I heard that it's very popular to buy the naming rights of stars now. If Mr. Zhou wants it, I will contact that organization tomorrow."
Zhou Jingyu was just about to say that he was just saying it casually and asked her not to take it seriously.
Chen Zhan spoke before him, "In the beginning, I was afraid of you and even hated you a little, but later you taught me a lot, many truths, and taught me how to love myself better. Zhou Jingyu, you are truly a great teacher."
Zhou Jingyu was stunned.
"I used to think we were from different worlds, so we would break up sooner or later. I felt I was young and thought I should just treat it as a relationship, so I was decisive in breaking up with you. I went abroad thinking I could slowly forget you, but Zhou Jingyu, I like you and love you.
I don't even know when you've slowly taken root in my heart. I'm trying to date someone abroad to forget the feelings and emotions you once brought me, but I find I can't. The more I try to forget, the more clearly I remember.
The man opened his mouth to say something, but Chen Zhan curved his lips and interrupted him.
"I know you like me too, but you know me, I'm a bit stubborn and a bit aloof, so it's not enough for me to be by your side and match you, I also want to have my own name. So those few years of separation were actually quite good, at least they made me a better Chen Zhan now."
Sweat broke out on her palms. "Zhou Jingyu, you once said that our parents won't be with us forever. We're lucky to have lived in peace for half of our lives. Some family ties can't be forced."
When Zhou Jingyu heard this, he vaguely guessed what Chen Zan was going to say next. The formation of drones in the sky was changing silently.
In the man's trembling pupils, Chen Zhan took out the box behind her and opened it. Inside was the couple's rings designed by the new niche designer she had asked when she went abroad last time. She had just received them today.
Chen Zhan's voice began to tremble uncontrollably. "You have your own views on family, and I have my own views on love. Zhou Jingyu, I think that for the next five, ten, twenty years, or even the rest of our lives, when we are old and gray, we will still be together. We may feel that half of our lives are enough for our family, but when it comes to love, I want you to be with me for the rest of my life."
After she finished speaking, her tone was choked with sobs and gentleness: "Zhou Jingyu, let's get married!!!"
She used to always be concerned about her status and position in front of him and would retreat step by step. This time, she wanted to be braver. She didn't want to just be in love, she wanted to marry him and have a home with both of their names on the household registration book.
As Chen Zhan finished speaking, midnight arrived, and more drones formed a galaxy in the sky, slowly approaching the Vega and Altair that were facing each other.
The fireworks that exploded at the right time in the sky were as bright as the passion of love, instantly lighting up the night sky, brilliant and shocking.
Chen Zan used the starry sky as a witness and confessed his love through a drone, under the light of fireworks that looked like stars falling to the earth.
She proposed to Zhou Jingyu!!
Zhou Jingyu guessed that Chen Zan must have conspired with Jiang Yushan. He thought it was just a thoughtful birthday gift, but he never thought that Chen Zan would propose to him. She even prepared the ring without him noticing.
It turns out that he is not the only one who wants to get married!
At that moment, Zhou Jingyu felt a surge of pain in his heart, wrapped in an indescribable warmth. He even had an extreme thought at that moment. If he couldn't be with Chen Zan in this life, he would probably go crazy and could no longer be a normal person, but only a madman.
His heart and eyes were filled with only Chen Zan. This kind of pure love surged like a tide, so much so that his eyes began to redden and his breathing became uncontrollable. He hadn't felt this miserable for a long, long time. The last time was when they separated.
Zhou Jingyu could no longer restrain himself and pulled Chen Zan into his arms, letting her crash into his hard and hot chest to listen to his long-confused heart.
He hugged her tightly with his arms, getting tighter and tighter. He buried his face in the side of her neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Chen Zhan, you fool. Proposing should be left to me."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Zhan felt something hot and wet falling on his neck.
Zhou Jingyu cried.
Mr. Zhou, who was high and mighty, was moved to tears by this unexpected grand, warm and sincere proposal.
Chen Zhan was thinking, it turns out Mr. Zhou is also very delicate! !
Reaching out to hug him back, she said softly, "Zhou Jingyu, marrying you is something I want from the bottom of my heart, and proposing to you is something I willingly do to surprise you on your birthday and make you happy. It doesn't matter whether you come or I do it. As long as we're together forever, we'll be inseparable, okay?"
Zhou Jingyu sighed, and after a long moment of careful consideration, he made a promise:
"Chen Zhan, let's get married."
"Unless I die, we will never be apart for the rest of our lives!!!"
