Chapter 100 Forever and Ever
That evening, the two met, and Li Jichuan casually inquired about Su Pu's activities that day.
Su Pu spoke very slowly, as if he was stalling for time. After saying only two things, his face turned extremely red.
Li Jichuan suppressed a laugh, wanting to see what this guy was really up to.
I guess I'm preparing some kind of surprise for him again?
However, he waited patiently for several days, but the truth still did not come out.
All I noticed was that the other person was getting busier and busier.
Having been in love for a long time, their bond has only grown stronger. Li Jichuan trusts Su Pu completely and isn't worried that this fool will mess around outside.
But what exactly is he busy with? Even he doesn't know.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't upset. When his expectations for a surprise were dashed, what hurt Li Jichuan even more was Su Pu's concealment of the truth from him.
Family matters are difficult to resolve, which has made him somewhat absent-minded at work recently, even during meetings.
John nudged his arm and whispered, "Lee..."
Li Jichuan snapped out of his daze and realized that everyone in the conference room was staring at him.
He realized that everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.
“Hmm,” Li Jichuan lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, “I have no problem with the data, but if this update cannot make players feel a significant improvement in interactivity and graphics quality, I hope we can postpone its release.”
At the other end of the conference room, two employees standing in front of the demo screen looked at each other in bewilderment. "But several of our competitors are about to release updates. If we don't, our daily active users will probably drop drastically..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, not daring to continue, because the big boss's face clearly darkened.
"Since when did Remundo start following the update schedule of its competitors?"
The employee scratched his head. "It's not like we're just following their lead. This update was planned six months ago..."
"So, a decision-making error occurred six months ago?" Li Jichuan followed up with, "Whose responsibility was it?"
After a long pause, the visual effects manager slowly raised his hand, "My..."
“Oh,” Li Jichuan stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and walked out. “While there’s no announcement yet, either go and implement the new technology, or apologize to the planning team and postpone the release. It’s your choice.”
Li Jichuan's aura was too strong, leaving the other party no chance to explain. With a long stride, he left only an empty, spinning chair.
Anderson and John exchanged a glance, then got up and followed him into the office.
"At this pace, who would guess you were a cripple before?" Anderson teased.
John patted Li Jichuan, who was already comfortably seated in the ergonomic chair, and said, "There, there (you should take a rest)."
It was only when facing these two people that Li Jichuan finally showed his annoyance, "You two, if you have nothing to do, get out of here!"
"Lee, have you fallen out of favor lately?" John blinked his blue eyes and asked innocently, "Is Xiao Pu ignoring you?"
Anderson continued pouring oil, exaggerating his actions: "Su Pu doesn't want me anymore, I'll make you all pay with your lives!"
After a two-second pause, Li Jichuan chuckled, then reflected on his actions, "Was that what I just did?"
“Almost,” John sighed, “you’re going to scare the kids to death.”
Li Jichuan rubbed his temples. "But this update was really too hasty. If we keep doing this, all the old players will leave."
Anderson and John agreed with this point, but they were not entirely satisfied with the way Li Jichuan expressed his disapproval.
However, they also know that they do not yet have that much responsibility, and therefore lack the relevant perspective, so they are always able to handle differences peacefully and amicably.
It was Li Jichuan who led them forward, enabling them to achieve both their ideals and their interests.
Now, this ambitious young man has realized his emotional decision and has adjusted himself back to a professional work mode.
Unlocking the computer, he called to Anderson, "Send me where the technology is stuck, I'll take a look."
Anderson shrugged, relieved yet helpless, "Alright, the familiar Lee is back!"
"Stop joking around. Send me any other challenging tasks you have." Li Jichuan had already switched into ruthless work machine mode.
John chuckled. "There really is. There's an entrepreneurship summit tonight, and we're going to attend together."
"Exchange Summit?" Li Jichuan looked up from his computer. How come he hadn't heard of it?
However, for the past two years, he had been in a wheelchair and had always refused to participate in such public events. Later, he fell head over heels in love, going straight home after work every day, and even when he worked overtime, he needed Su Pu to be with him to feel at ease.
Therefore, it is understandable that his secretary did not inform him of such an event.
Li Jichuan decided to further reduce the pressure on Su Pu.
Su Pu is not his possession; she has her own thoughts and pursuits, and he must respect that…
"Okay, let's go together."
...
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Li Jichuan changed into a formal suit, put on his glasses, and got into John's sports car.
John and Anderson kept glancing at him the whole way, which made Li Jichuan uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it.
His outfit today was indeed quite special: a well-made dark brown wool blend suit, paired with a black patterned tie, and slim-fit trousers with straps cinched at the thighs visible as he walked.
How to put it? Not quite mature yet, but full of flirtatious charm.
There was nothing he could do; his wife was busy with work, so the clothes he had specially bought to tease her were temporarily useless. There were no suitable suits in the company wardrobe, so he chose this one.
John whistled lightly, and Anderson couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times, commenting:
"You're lucky, kid!"
Li Jichuan asked suspiciously, "Hmm?"
Just as they were wondering, they arrived at their destination, which was not far from their company.
John went to park the car, and Li Jichuan followed Anderson into the banquet hall.
The waiter opened the door for them, and looking into the room, they saw that the entire space was pitch black.
"This is……?"
Although he had neglected social interactions in recent years, Li Jichuan had suffered a period of mental breakdown—had social etiquette also undergone a dramatic change during this time, with exchange summits now being held in dark and gloomy places?
He immediately took out his phone, pointed the camera at the darkness in front of him, and planned to complain to his wife about it later.
However, the phone screen was suddenly illuminated by a beam of white light, the image focused, and froze on Su Pu's face.
At the end of that darkness lay Su Pu.
Li Jichuan felt dizzy and kept blinking, trying to confirm whether he was in a dream.
Why is Su Pu here, holding flowers, and dressed so beautifully?
"Get in!" Anderson gently pushed him in the back. "What are you standing there for?"
At this moment, Li Jichuan almost forgot how to walk again. His footsteps and heartbeats were out of sync, and he walked through the darkness in a somewhat comical way, standing in the same light as Su Pu.
Under the bright, lustrous light, Su Pu's skin was smooth and translucent, and her eyes seemed to hold the bright moonlight of the night.
So touching.
“Li Jichuan,” Su Pu called his name fluently, “would you like to officially become my family?”
These words were spoken firmly and forcefully, without the slightest stutter; they were the result of Su Pu's countless repetitions of practice.
He just wanted Li Jichuan to hear clearly and feel his determination.
Su Pu held carefully selected flowers, wore carefully selected clothes, and stood in a carefully selected venue, all to bring a seemingly hasty marriage agreement to a perfect conclusion.
Li Jichuan blinked and asked for confirmation, "Didn't we get married a long time ago?"
"We got our marriage certificate, received our parents' consent, exchanged rings, and took photos..."
He couldn't continue, because he knew himself that there was still a sense of unease in his heart.
This unease began when he fell in love with Su Pu, and became more and more obvious after he lost his grandfather. It continued until Su Pu fell ill and forgot about him. He seemed strong, but he could only get a light sleep by holding Su Pu's hand tightly every night.
He was afraid; he was afraid that one day, Su Pu would leave him completely.
Ultimately, what's so great about him? He has to put all his energy into Su Pu.
If Su Pu doesn't want him, he really doesn't know where to go or what to do.
Su Pu understood this better than anyone else, so she seized every opportunity to repair her body and improve her mental state, giving Li Jichuan more love and attention.
She also needs to learn to speak, and the first thing she says is his name, then "husband," "baby," and everything else has to be related to him.
He thought this would put Li Jichuan at ease, but he discovered that this person was more fragile than he had thought, and loved him more than he had imagined.
Then give him all the affection he can in his barren imagination.
Su Pu wanted to form a family with Li Jichuan in front of everyone.
Li Jichuan once treated him like a child, giving him endless patience and tolerance, so he should take good care of Li Jichuan and let him feel at ease being in any identity.
Whether it's a child or an adult, a king or a princess, even if they are seventy or eighty years old and have difficulty walking, he is willing to buy them fairy wands, call their names over and over again, and make them happy.
He wanted to use an endless stream of love to drive away all of Li Jichuan's fears.
The valiant knight Supu, sword in hand and flowers in hand, asked to marry the princess.
Princess Xiao Li squinted, finally solving the case. Before her relatives and friends outside the door came into the room to celebrate with them, she asked him softly.
"Is this what you've been busy with lately?"
Su Pu nodded. "A part, I suppose."
"Anything else?" Li Jichuan asked.
"Let's go home and talk about it..." Su Pu pushed his hand away and asked him, "So, do you agree or not?"
Li Jichuan chuckled, raising both hands. On the middle finger of his left hand was the wedding ring they had chosen together, and on each of his wrists were two jade bracelets, one real and one fake.
Have I ever said "no" to you?
Su Pu smiled, jumped into Li Jichuan's arms, and called to the waiter waiting in the shadows to open the door.
All the people they loved came in to congratulate them, filled with blessings, applause, cheers, and tears of happiness.
As the lights came on, the proposal scene was decorated like a princess's boudoir, with balloons and desserts everywhere, and the music was very soothing.
Li Jichuan looked at it, raised his hand, and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.
On the one hand, she still stubbornly insisted, "Little Pu, am I only three years old?"
Su Pu smiled and stretched out a hand to him, "I also learned to dance."
...
The night grew even gentler.
Two people, four feet, awkwardly twirled, moved, and intertwined on the short-pile carpet, completing their first dance.
In the latter half, Su Pu's feet were lifted off the ground, and Li Jichuan held her close, their faces touching, their temples rubbing together in an intimate embrace.
Li Jichuan forgot how many times he said he loved Su Pu, loved this world, loved everyone who appeared tonight, and loved those touching moments in his life that were as bright as stars.
His heart had already melted, but he didn't want the night to end. Accompanied by a soft song, he brought his lips close to Su Pu's ear and whispered the same words.
"Oh, I'd love to play pretend.
So far from consequence
Like time is in our hands.
"Oh, I'd rather fall into the mundane world,"
Regardless of the future and consequences,
Time is entirely in our hands, forever and ever.
