Lu Zhe knelt down on one knee, took out the small box, opened it, and revealed the ring set with a dazzling diamond.
Tang Qi stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
Lu Zhe looked up, a smile on his face: "You should be able to guess what I'm going to do, right?"
Tang Qi asked in a soft, almost murmured voice, "Will you marry me?"
Lu Zhe: "To be precise, it's an engagement. After all, you're still too young..."
"Not young at all!" Tang Qi immediately snapped back to reality. "Even if we only consider this lifetime, I'm already an adult!"
Lu Zhe: "But you've only just started college, so it's definitely impossible for you to get married or anything like that. What kind of freshman gets a marriage certificate? Actually, I also feel that it was a bit rushed to take out the engagement ring today."
Tang Qi quickly shook her head: "No rush, no rush! Do you know how long I've been waiting... I don't feel rushed at all, I just think you're too slow!"
Lu Zhe smiled and raised the small box in his hand: "How long do you plan to make me kneel here? Or are you saying that you don't actually want to agree?"
Tang Qi immediately snatched the diamond ring, pulled him up, and then threw herself into his arms, embracing him tightly.
After hugging for only a few seconds, Miss Tang suddenly said, "Wait a minute...did you forget to say something to me just now?"
Lu Zhe: "Which sentence?"
Tang Qi pushed him away and hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right, that's the line you have to say when you propose."
Lu Zhe had of course guessed what she meant, but he was still teasing the girl: "I don't understand, what exactly do you want me to say?"
Tang Qi couldn't help but blurt out, "It's that... will you marry me?"
Lu Zhetian nodded shamelessly: "Okay."
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, then punched him in the chest with her little pink fist. But it was only one punch, because Lu Zhe caught her second and third punches.
Lu Zhe grasped her two slender wrists with both hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, enough joking. Will you marry me?"
Tang Qi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
Then the two hugged each other tightly again.

When Tang Qi returned home, she saw Xue Xiaodie sitting at the dining table, engrossed in drawing, and fell into a state of indescribable confusion.
The diamond ring wasn't heavy, but holding it in her hand gave her a profound sense of joy. This feeling made her want to share it with someone, and in her minimalist social circle, it seemed that only Xue Xiaodie in front of her could share this joy.
But if I tell Xue Xiaodie about this, won't it feel like I'm showing off and getting carried away?
Just as Tang Qi was standing there struggling with her decision, Xue Xiaodie picked up her phone, glanced at it, then turned to look at her and asked, "Did you put your mother on the plane?"
Miss Tang nodded, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Lu Zhe went with you, didn't he?"
Tang Qi: "Yes, and..."
Xue Xiaodie: "And what?"
Looking at the young lady's gentle and serene smile, Tang Qi felt a long-forgotten sense of guilt resurface.
"Lu Zhe did something that really startled me, I..."
Tang Qi had made up her mind to tell Xue Xiaodie about this. However, when the words reached her lips, they seemed incredibly difficult to utter, and her voice grew weaker and weaker as she spoke.
However, Xue Xiaodie said, "He proposed to you and gave you an engagement ring, right?"
His tone remained calm and gentle, but to Tang Qi, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Tang Qi looked up in surprise: "How did you know!"
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Because Lu Zhe discussed it with me last night and asked for my opinion."
"He..." Tang Qi's voice trembled slightly, "What did you say?"
Xue Xiaodie tidied a strand of hair behind her ear, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "He hesitated because he felt you were too young, still a freshman in college, and it wasn't appropriate to start so early. But I told him there was no need to worry about these things, because after experiencing rebirth, your true mental age is already in your twenties."
Tang Qi clenched her fists and nodded vigorously.
Xue Xiaodie smiled and continued, "Besides, this is just an engagement, not a real marriage. There are no legal procedures or age restrictions. At least, Xiao Caitang is an adult now, so getting engaged is no big deal."
Tang Qi couldn't help but hug her tightly, her voice trembling with tears: "You're right, Sister Xiaodie...you're so wonderful!"
Xue Xiaodie: "That's great?"
Tang Qi couldn't help but sob: "I'm the one who stole the person you like, so why are you still helping me?"
Xue Xiaodie fell silent.
Tang Qi also fell silent, simply holding her, a hint of unease rising in her heart.
Xue Xiaodie suddenly sighed: "Because I'm not helping you, I just... want to help him. Yes, I like him, and that hasn't changed from then until now. So when I realized that he likes you now, I was initially very desperate, but then I came to understand. I realized that liking someone should be about acceptance, accepting the choices they make, and supporting them in finding their happiness."
Tang Qi asked, trembling, "So you're going to grant our wish?"
Xue Xiaodie gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Haven't I been doing this for a while now? What, even now, you still haven't figured it out?"
Tang Qi bit her lower lip, trying to control her sobs, but she couldn't stop her tear ducts from flowing down her cheeks. So she simply stopped holding back, hugged her little sister Xiaodie, and cried bitterly.
