Chapter 12 Proposal
Ever since she confessed to Yan Mo that night, Shu Xin felt that the burden that had been weighing on her heart was much lighter.
Anyone who suddenly travels to a world that is about to end will face great pressure, and Shu Xin is no exception. It turns out that there is no one to share the pressure with, and Shu Xin's heart never relaxes for a moment.
Now she has someone she can trust wholeheartedly, someone with whom she can share her secrets. When she walks on the street, she feels that the air she breathes is fresher than usual.
But it's obvious that Yanmo has become busier recently. The school hasn't been on vacation yet, and the two of them have little time to see each other. Now it's almost non-existent. They have turned to phone calls or video calls every night.
There were several times during the video that Shuxin could see the dark circles under Yan Mo's eyes through the screen.
Shu Xin also took Yan Mo to see the house that she had prepared to survive the previous natural disaster period, and Yan Mo asked someone to renovate the internal structure.
The two houses above and below were simply connected to create a duplex structure, and thermal insulation materials were installed on all the walls and floors. The walls of two of the rooms were removed and converted into a fitness room, making it convenient for people to exercise at home during natural disasters.
Several of the rooms were also used as storage rooms. Yan Mo planned to invite a few people to live with them. In order not to expose the comfortable space, they still had to make good preparations for storing supplies so that they would have a place to go when they needed to take things out.
There's nothing wrong with inviting people to live together. It's more comfortable and lively with more people. Maybe we can even play mahjong together.
The renovations to the interior of the house are not noticeable from the outside, so people won’t notice anything unusual.
The two discussed it and decided to take a leave of absence from school in the next semester. They wanted to take a good look at the beautiful scenery in their final time and leave some good memories for the future.
Yan Mo proposed that he and Shu Xin go abroad to get a marriage certificate. In the country, they are not of legal marriage age, and when the end of the world comes, it is not known when order can be restored.
When order is really restored, this useless organization will not be people's first choice. While there is still a chance, Yan Mo wants Shu Xin and himself to be registered as one person in the household register.
Yan Mo hid from Shu Xin that he had someone design a wedding dress for her, and he also designed a pair of wedding rings himself, waiting to give her a surprise.
After Shuxin finished her last exam, the two boarded a plane to the northernmost part of the country and officially began their journey to collect supplies across the country.
Yanmo had already made all the itinerary plans in advance. Shuxin only needed to dress herself up beautifully, bring the Polaroid camera and enough photo paper prepared in advance, and just follow along.
Since they didn't need to go back to school, they had more time.
Wherever he went, Yan Mo would take Shuxin to try the local specialties and snacks, check in at famous scenic spots, and do everything he should do.
I waited until the last day to go to the warehouse arranged by Yan Mo to take out the supplies that had been stored there at some unknown time, and then continued to the next city.
I don't have to worry about anything during the whole trip. I can follow my boyfriend, eat well, have fun, and collect supplies without any delay. This kind of life is simply the salted fish life that I have always dreamed of.
If the end of the world was not coming soon, Shu Xin would be willing to live like this for the rest of his life.
In this way, the two of them traveled around the country, and it was already the end of May, and the weather was getting hotter.
Their last stop was to go abroad to get their marriage certificate. Before boarding the plane, Shuxin had no idea how big a surprise Yan Mo had prepared for her.
When Yan Mo blindfolded Shu Xin with a black cloth, she was stunned for just a second, and then her body relaxed immediately.
"Why do you want to cover my eyes suddenly? Are you preparing a surprise for me? What is it?"
Shuxin tilted her head slightly and asked Yanmo behind her with some anticipation.
"Since I already said it's a surprise, how can I tell you now? Stand up and follow me slowly."
Yan Mo held his girlfriend's hand and walked step by step towards the room that had been decorated in advance.
Shuxin felt that she would never forget the shock she felt when she took off the blindfold.
"Wow, what a beautiful wedding dress! When did you prepare it? I didn't even know it."
Shu Xin took a few quick steps forward, looking at the wedding dress placed in the middle of the room with sparkling eyes. Yan Mo could see the joy and happiness in her eyes without even asking.
Every girl dreams of having her own wedding dress since she was young. It has nothing to do with being rich or poor. It is just the purest and best wish of childhood.
She had also imagined what kind of wedding dress she would have in the future. The moment she saw this wedding dress, the wedding dress in her mind took shape.
There will never be another wedding dress that will match your wishes and fantasies as well as the one in front of you.
"If you like it, go try it on. I'll wear it when I take photos for my marriage certificate."
"What about you?"
"Of course I have to change my clothes too, so that I can be worthy of my Highness the Princess." Yan Mo pinched Shu Xin's face and asked someone to come in and help her put on her clothes.
When the door opened again, Yan Mo's mind was captured at a glance, and a dazzling light flashed in his eyes like chasing the orbit of a star.
The unique interwoven waist straps outline a woman's perfect waistline. Rose appliqués and lace blend lightly to create a hazy and complex beauty. Thousands of scattered crystal diamonds are scattered on the skirt, like a dazzling galaxy covering the hem of the skirt.
Elegance and charm are intertwined with an ethereal air; several contradictory qualities are perfectly integrated into one person.
"My princess, are you willing to marry your most loyal knight?"
For the first time, Yan Mo revealed his emotions without any disguise. He walked straight to Shu Xin, knelt on one knee, took out the prepared ring and held it in front of Shu Xin.
Yan Mo's sudden action caught Shu Xin off guard. It was an emotion that could not be described in words. All the words could not describe even one tenth of her mood at that moment.
I don't know when tears filled my eyes and slid down my cheeks. I gently covered my mouth with my right hand, afraid that my expression would be too inappropriate.
She could no longer utter a complete sentence and could only nod vigorously to express her willingness.
Yan Mo smiled and solemnly put the ring in his hand on Shuxin's ring finger. He stood up and gently kissed away the tears on Shuxin's face, then held her in his arms with great care.
"The wedding can't be held, but I will give you everything else you need, leaving you with no regrets. I was a little rushed, so I designed the ring myself. I hope you like it."
"I like it. I will definitely protect it. What about the men's ring? I'll put it on you."
Leaning on Yan Mo's shoulder to calm herself down, Shu Xin took the ring box from Yan Mo's hand, took out a plain silver ring from it and put it on Yan Mo's hand.
The two hands wearing rings were tightly clasped together, just like their owners who depended on each other.
