As dusk gradually fades and night falls, the stars gather into a starry sky.
The lights of thousands of homes in the city in the distance are like lit flames, warm and dazzling. Although they are not as visually shocking as the various light shows of later generations, this gorgeous light and shadow full of fireworks is still eye-catching.
Especially the dense cluster of stars in the sky above Beijing is a sight rarely seen in later generations.
Zhou Yunwan got out of the car, stretched out her arms to feel the cool breeze blowing towards her, her eyes fixed on the night scene in front of her for a long time.
Just as she was enjoying it wholeheartedly, a faint floral scent drifted into her nose.
The moment she turned around, what caught her eye was not Shen Yanli's face, but a large bunch of red roses, with silver wrapping paper neatly surrounding the flowers, looking delicate and charming.
Zhou Yunwan's breathing stagnated slightly and her eyes moved upwards. A handsome face buried among the flowers suddenly entered her sight.
A beam of car light shone on him, so that half of his face was hidden in the darkness, appearing deep and mysterious. His handsome eyes stared straight at her, obscure and deep.
At that moment, her heart seemed to stop beating.
...
...
The breeze blew her hair and brushed across her cheeks, making her feel itchy. She suddenly came to her senses and asked blankly, "Where did this flower come from?"
When she came out of the staff quarters of the research institute, she didn't see the bouquet of flowers in the car.
Shen Yanli stared at her and explained softly, “I put it in the trunk in advance.”
As he said this, he handed the flowers to her.
Zhou Yunwan hugged the flowers and threw herself into his arms, her soft and boneless body pressed tightly against him. As they hugged each other tightly, someone's heartbeat became faster and faster, sounding particularly loud in the silent night.
After hugging for a while, Zhou Yunwan burst out laughing: "Professor Shen, your heartbeat is so loud."
Shen Yanli's eyelashes trembled, his Adam's apple kept rolling, and he refuted unconvincingly: "It's obviously yours."
Hearing this, Zhou Yunwan opened her eyes, looked at his tense jawline, and chuckled noncommittally: "Maybe."
She smiled like a naughty little fox. Chen Yanli's dark eyes were gloomy. He freed one hand to touch his trouser pocket, but before he could take out the things inside, the person who had been holding his waist suddenly pulled away.
She walked to the railing of the roadside viewing platform, turned her back to him and cheered: "Wow, it's beautiful."
Looking at her back, Shen Yanli paused holding the package, the heat rising in his chest, burning him so much that he couldn't take a step forward or back.
He was wondering when would be the most appropriate time, and was totally unaware that Zhou Yunwan's ears and neck in front of him were already red.
Zhou Yunwan tightly grasped the bouquet in her arms, her big clear, watery eyes filled with nervousness and panic, she didn't know where to look.
She was very familiar with this situation, Shen Yanli must be proposing to her.
Did she agree? Or agree?
No, no, no. What we should consider now is how she will behave later. She must be surprised and happy. Is it appropriate for her to cry?
Zhou Yunwan's whole body was stiff, and she imagined countless possibilities in her mind, but when that moment really came, her heart was filled with excitement and happiness, and she couldn't think of anything.
"Wanwan..."
Shen Yanli’s low and gentle voice came from behind.
Zhou Yunwan took a deep breath, and her mouth spoke faster than her brain, blurting out: "I do."
Hearing this, Shen Yanli’s hand, which had just taken out the ring, stopped in mid-air, and his legs, which were about to kneel down, were also forced to stop halfway.
At this moment, silent embarrassment spread in the air.
Zhou Yunwan's face turned red, like a cooked shrimp. After looking at each other, she couldn't help but cover her face with the flowers, hesitating for a moment, unable to utter a word.
Shen Yanli took in her reaction, his breathing became warm and heavy, and he knelt on one knee under her gaze, opened his thin lips, and said the words she had been expecting: "Wanwan, will you marry me?"
Zhou Yunwan's fair face felt hot. She blinked her eyelashes and only responded softly.
After a while, she looked down at the wedding ring that suddenly appeared on her ring finger, and found that the ring was from Cartier's Love series, symbolizing passionate and eternal love. Tears welled up in her eyes and she looked at him in surprise.
He is really willing to spend money...
But when she thought that the money was for her, her heart felt warm.
Shen Yanli handed her the men’s version and whispered, “Help me put it on too.”
Zhou Yunwan sniffed and obediently put the ring on his left ring finger. Her slender white fingers stroked that place, which felt slightly cold, but his skin was warm.
The tip of her nose was red, her mouth was pouting, and she whispered with tears in her eyes: "Are you really going to trap me?"
Chen Yanli heard the sob in her voice and raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. The hot tears flowed along his fingertips and burned all the way into his heart, rippling his heart.
He pursed his lips and said word by word: "Didn't you trap me too?"
As he spoke, he shook the ring meaningfully.
Zhou Yunwan tightly grasped his fingers, sobbed twice, and snorted righteously: "Oh."
Shen Yanli smiled and coaxed softly, “I am willing to be trapped by you.”
Listening to his indulgent and gentle attitude, Zhou Yunwan's fingertips tightened unconsciously. She was acting like a spoiled child, and only he allowed her to act recklessly again and again.
She couldn't help but think of a saying: If you love someone, you will unconditionally tolerate all his bad tempers.
This point is vividly demonstrated in Shen Yanli.
Zhou Yunwan's lips kept curling up. Meeting Chen Yanli was like finding a treasure in her life.
After the two returned from Jingshan Park, their feelings grew stronger, and time passed by, and soon the day of the graduation exam arrived.
"Don't be nervous. Treat this test with a normal attitude. You will definitely pass it."
Zhou Yunwan nodded and waved to Shen Yanli: “Then you go to work first, and I will go to the institute to find you after the exam.”
She finished her exams and he wasn't off work yet.
Shen Yanli watched the slender figure enter the gate before turning around and leaving, walking towards the direction of the research institute.
Zhou Yunwan's grades were already good, and she has made great progress in the past two months under the guidance of Shen Yanli. She occasionally even got first place in the school in mock exams.
The exam went smoothly. After leaving the exam room, Zhou Yunwan found her bag outside the classroom. After saying hello to Xing Zhaoling, she left the school.
Along the way, Zhou Yunwan walked briskly, holding the bag tightly in her arms with both hands. The bag contained her relevant documents for registering her marriage.
There is no need to be so anxious, but someone just can't wait even a moment.
