The drone was still circling in the distance, searching for its target.
【Ahhh! Drones, hurry and find people!】
[I'm so worried, what are they doing?]
[Did you just see a shadow flash by? It looked like Xie Shao pulling Ningning along?]
The drone only re-locked onto its target after the fireworks stopped.
In the picture.
Xie Huaiye and Yan Ning were standing side by side by the city wall, seemingly admiring the night view.
Something definitely happened! Both of them are acting differently!
[Young Master Xie's smile was practically reaching his ears!]
Ningning's face is so red, it's not just from the firelight, is it?
At this moment, Sun Wuji suddenly appeared from the side:
"Wow! What are you two doing sneaking around here? Come and see, there's a circus performance over there!"
"Hey, we've been spotted..."
Xie Huaiye sighed helplessly and said in a low voice.
"What are you muttering about? Let's go!"
Then, Sun Wuji led them to the center of the ancient city.
They weaved through the crowd, enjoying the acrobatics and sampling the snacks.
They even danced a folk dance together.
Until the party was nearing its end.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the night sky returned to tranquility.
Sun Wuji had long been pulled away by a group of dancing girls and disappeared without a trace.
Xie Huaiye and Yan Ning avoided the drone and climbed to the highest corner of the ancient city wall.
In the distance, scattered lights flickered, like scattered stars.
A gentle evening breeze swept by.
It carried the scent of cooking fires and a hint of coolness.
"I had a very happy evening," Yan Ning said softly.
Xie Huaiye turned to look at her, the moonlight outlining her soft features.
"Ningning."
His voice was soft, but extremely serious: "This is the last episode, let's go public."
Yan Ning looked up and met his affectionate gaze.
“I want the whole world to know,” Xie Huaiye said, emphasizing each word, “that you are my girlfriend.”
Yan Ning's heart skipped a beat.
She nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips: "Okay, let's go public together tomorrow."
Xie Huaiye's eyes lit up instantly, like stars that had been illuminated, and he said excitedly:
"Invite your family to join us for dinner tomorrow."
Yan Ning was stunned: "Oh, is it that formal?"
"Absolutely."
Xie Huaiye said gently, "From the moment you agreed, I've been thinking about getting married..."
Yan Ning's ears turned red: "You...you're overthinking it."
"I don't want to wait even a second longer."
Xie Huaiye took a step closer, enveloping her in the moonlight. "I'm absolutely certain that I want to marry you."
Yan Ning lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Actually... me too."
These words made Xie Huaiye lose all restraint.
He cupped her face in his hands and gently kissed her.
This kiss was more lingering than before, carrying the weight of a promise.
Footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, and the two hurriedly separated.
A patrolling guard walked by.
I glanced at them curiously, then wisely walked away.
Yan Ning couldn't help but chuckle: "It's like we're having an affair."
"We won't need to hide tomorrow."
Xie Huaiye smiled, his fingers still intertwined with hers, "I want to hold your hand openly and honestly, and go to every place together."
As the evening breeze began to rise, Yan Ning shivered slightly.
Xie Huaiye immediately took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, then pulled her into his arms.
"Are you cold?" he asked softly, his chin gently brushing against the top of her head.
Yan Ning shook her head, actually because her heart was racing as he approached.
His body heat and faint mint scent still lingered on his coat.
"Sister Ning! Young Master Xie! Where are you?"
From afar came Sun Wuji's calls, as if he was looking for them.
Xie Huaiye sighed: "We're going to be discovered again."
Yan Ning suddenly grabbed him: "Wait a little longer."
This was the first time she had asked to be alone with someone.
Xie Huaiye's heart stirred, and he hugged her even tighter.
“Okay,” he said softly, “stay a little longer.”
As night deepened, the starlight grew brighter.
They embraced on the city wall, the moonlight casting long shadows of them.
Until Sun Wuji's footsteps grew closer and closer.
The two then parted reluctantly.
Xie Huaiye finally placed a kiss on her forehead.
"See you tomorrow."
He said softly, "My girlfriend."
Yan Ning smiled gently: "See you tomorrow."
Then, they walked down the city wall one after the other.
...
the next day.
The morning sun shines on the streets of the ancient city.
The production team's convoy is ready to go.
Despite his messy hair, Sun Wuji was full of energy as he helped everyone move their luggage.
"Sister Ning!"
He saw Yan Ning come out and immediately jumped over:
"I had so much fun last night, I'm still feeling dizzy."
He leaned closer and lowered his voice, "But I saw it, you and Young Master Xie over there on the city wall..."
Yan Ning coughed lightly, her ears turning slightly red.
At this moment, Xie Huaiye walked over naturally and took Yan Ning's backpack: "I'll take it."
【Ahhh, Mr. Xie is so thoughtful!】
There's definitely something fishy about these two! Their eyes are gleaming!
When getting into the car, Xie Huaiye specially opened the car door for Yan Ning, protecting her head.
After the convoy started, Yan Ning turned on her phone and was instantly overwhelmed by countless notifications.
The hashtag #YanNingWinsTheChampionship# has gone viral.
It was followed by a bright red "爆" (explosive) character.
She clicked on the trending topics, and the first one was the official announcement of the show's success:
"Congratulations to @YanNing for winning the championship in '72 Hours in the Lost City' and taking home the 80 million yuan prize!"
