After a long while, the man finally embraced Su Tao tightly again. He looked at the woman's beautiful face in the moonlight and whispered, "Tao Tao, will we get engaged after the college entrance examination?"
He had thought about it. If he passed the college entrance examination, he would return to Beijing to attend university. They would get engaged in the countryside first, and then when they returned to the city, they would ask his parents-in-law for the marriage proposal and then hold a wedding banquet.
The man's dark eyes looked at Su Tao steadily, with an extremely serious look in his eyes, and he waited quietly for Su Tao's answer.
"Isn't it too hasty?" Su Tao hesitated. She hadn't told her family about her and He Chuan yet.
"How could that be? Let's get engaged first, and then I'll go to your house to propose after we return to the city. I've earned almost 20,000 yuan, which is enough to buy a house in Beijing. How about we go and choose a house as our wedding house?" He Chuan whispered temptingly.
Originally, He Chuan hadn't been so anxious. Perhaps it was the recent incident with Bo Yi that had intensified his anxiety. He wondered if another or third woman would show up after he returned to the city. Would his parents-in-law accept him? He had too many uncertainties about the future, so he had to grasp the certainties of the present.
He could have proposed marriage to Su Tao directly, holding a wedding ceremony and obtaining marriage certificates in the countryside. He believed his parents-in-law wouldn't have been able to object. However, he didn't want to do that. He didn't want Su Tao to suffer any injustice. He knew Su Tao would also want his parents' support and blessing for this marriage, so he proposed an engagement first. This way, he respected Su Tao and gave him the right to stand by his side as his fiancé.
What? He's made so much money? A few thousand dollars is enough to buy a nice house. No wonder he's talking about proposing marriage. It turns out the man has earned enough money to be confident.
"Well, let's do it. But the engagement has to wait until the college entrance examination results are out. How about we get engaged if you can pass?" Su Tao blinked and said cunningly.
"Yes, I will definitely pass the exam." He Chuan said ecstatically when he heard Su Tao agree.
Su Tao smiled knowingly when he saw the man's excitement.
In fact, even if the man failed the exam, she would agree to get engaged to him after the college entrance examination. She said this just to motivate the man.
"Go to sleep quickly, you have an exam tomorrow." Su Tao kept some distance from her, afraid that she would touch something she shouldn't touch again, otherwise she would not be able to sleep that night.
"Well, good night." He Chuan replied softly.
Maybe the two of them talked about their affairs and their relationship developed further, and they both fell asleep with a vision of the future.
The next day, the two walked to the examination room.
Outside the examination hall, there was a sea of people, men and women, young and old, of all ages, each with a face filled with excitement, joy and delight.
"I didn't expect there would be so many people in one examination room." Su Tao sighed.
"We've been waiting for so many years, and it's not easy for him to recover. How can there not be so many people? Be careful not to get squeezed." He Chuan said as he protected Su Tao with both hands as he walked in.
There were so many people that some people were inevitably pushing and shoving. He Chuan held Su Tao in front of him with one hand and used the other to push the crowd aside, squeezing out a path and finally reaching the exam room.
"Then you go ahead! I'll go in and we'll hand in the paper a minute earlier." Su Tao said softly to He Chuan.
They both brought watches, so they could be prepared to keep track of the time for the exam. Many people's eyes fell on their wrists as they walked along. In this day and age, having a watch is something to be envied, and many people tried every means to borrow a watch for this exam.
Su Tao was scared by the crowd just now, so he handed in his paper 1 minute early, which gave him enough time to check and avoid the crowd when the group handed in their papers and left.
"Yeah." He Chuan nodded.
