She took the list back, and Pei Zhiyu caught a glimpse of the three words Qin Hezhou filled in the name column.
"What's wrong with this person?"
"Hiss—" the senior student gasped and said thoughtfully, "He doesn't want to go, but someone forced him to go, so he has to go now."
Pei Zhiyu: “?”
At this time, she still didn't know about the entanglement between Qin Hezhou and Qin Yu, and naturally didn't know that Qin Yu threatened the senior sister that she must hand in the receipt that Qin Hezhou agreed to.
By the evening of the next day, the school trip notice and precautions had been issued.
After school, Pei Zhiyu rode his bicycle to the hospital to visit his sick nanny as usual.
But what she never expected was that the originally clear sky suddenly began to rain. She had no choice but to find a nearby convenience store on the corner to shelter from the rain.
The gradually darkening sky, accompanied by the occasional sound of lightning, created a terrifying atmosphere like the one before a crime in a suspense movie.
As if to suit the occasion, she suddenly heard a few painful groans—
It seems like someone is fighting.
Pei Zhiyu felt panicked. At that time, she had no ability to help anyone. If she rashly stepped forward to stop it, she might even lose everything.
The recent murder news broadcast on TV replayed in my mind...
She can't die yet.
But she couldn't allow the violence to happen. The inner struggle and contradiction almost drove her crazy.
"You... left?" Qin Hezhou asked in a trembling voice.
Pei Zhiyu didn't even dare to answer. She didn't leave, but she didn't go to stop him either.
"I was still hesitating when I saw a group of people coming out of the alley. They were in groups, and some were whistling at me."
She said guiltily, "I was scared, so I could only hide there silently and watch you stumble out with injuries all over your body."
Seeing Qin Hezhou's eyes move slightly, Pei Zhiyu didn't even have the courage to continue.
At that time, with a hint of apology, she turned around and went to the pharmacy next door to buy some Band-Aids, Yunnan Baiyao, etc.
But when she came out of the pharmacy, she saw that figure getting farther and farther away from her, and she could hardly catch up.
Coincidentally, the hospital called and said that the nanny was critically ill and asked Pei Zhiyu to go there quickly.
"I regret not standing up at that time... I'm sorry." She apologized sincerely and hoped to be forgiven.
Qin Hezhou raised his hand but did not put it down for a long time. A sigh came into his ears. He put his palm on her head and rubbed it gently twice.
He said, "If you had rushed in at that time, you would probably have been injured along with me. There's no need to feel guilty. Self-preservation is human instinct."
Just imagine if Pei Zhiyu was really injured while saving himself, he would be heartbroken.
"Don't think too much. Memories are for good memories, not for you to make yourself suffer."
Pei Zhiyu nodded in a daze.
The two of them sat together, keeping warm and chatting while waiting for the arrival of the meteor shower.
But all that happened was the clock hand turning to twelve, and the sky was still pitch black...
She was afraid that Qin Hezhou would feel disappointed, so she stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk downstairs. Camping is more interesting than just meteor showers. If we miss something, then -"
"Wait!" Qin Hezhou suddenly exclaimed.
Pei Zhiyu was startled, and she looked in the direction where the other person's gaze was focused.
One second, two seconds, three seconds——
Several bright lights streaked across the night sky.
"Is this... a meteor shower?" She became excited after realizing it belatedly, turned around and pulled Qin Hezhou from the chair, and started jumping up and down involuntarily.
Qin Hezhou's joy hadn't even reached his peak when he was frightened by her jumping. He quickly held her down, fearing that she might be too aggressive and cause miscarriage.
"Make a wish, make a wish!" Pei Zhiyu urged him.
Qin Hezhou obediently closed his eyes and followed her in making a wish devoutly towards the shooting stars in the sky.
Pei Zhiyu is the same.
I hope we will love each other forever and be happy forever.
This is her wish.
She closed her eyes and suddenly felt a chill between her fingers, as if a metal ring-shaped object was put on them.
"hiss--"
She couldn't help but retract her hand, and then she saw the sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger, shining like a star.
“What are you doing…?”
"Propose." Qin Hezhou said bluntly.
His eyes were filled with deep love that he hadn't even considered hiding. "I originally wanted to be more romantic. When the meteor shower falls, I'll get down on one knee like those male protagonists and ask you, 'Will you marry me?'"
"It's a pity that the meteor shower arrived late."
He lowered his eyes, smiled, and then asked cautiously and nervously: "So, will you marry me?"
"You only asked me if I was willing after we already had a child. Could the marriage certificate in the drawer be fake?"
Pei Zhiyu rubbed the ring awkwardly, and reached out to him with a feeling of being touched and speechless, "Put it on me again."
He carefully took off the diamond ring and then carefully put it back on her.
This was a very simple and common action with almost no possibility of error, but Qin Hezhou felt very nervous.
I was so nervous that my fingers were shaking...
The silver-white ring starts from the fingertip, goes down along the slightly raised joint, until it completely encircles the finger.
Like a mark that belongs to someone unique.
Pei Zhiyu stared at his fingers closely, a laugh escaping his lips, he couldn't tell whether it was more sweet or more of a feeling of sweetness after suffering.
"Qin Hezhou... ask me again." She said in a trembling voice.
The other person's eyes were red, and he kept repeating the question over and over again: "Will you marry me?"
With tears in her eyes, Pei Zhiyu took two more steps towards him. The tips of her shoes happened to collide with each other, making a "click" sound. She slowly raised her hand with the ring on it, wanting to touch his face, but it stopped in mid-air and did not fall.
"I do."
Her voice of tears of joy is like an angel covered in holy light, pulling you back from the darkness at the moment you are about to step into hell.
"I do, Qin Hezhou, I do!" She kept repeating her answer.
Until Qin Hezhou held her hand, intertwined their fingers, and pulled her into his arms, but was gentle when kissing her.
That night, he never let go of Pei Zhiyu's hand——
The Internet was bustling with activity, with countless people lamenting that they had missed the meteor shower.
But Qin Hezhou didn't.
He saw the meteor shower, made a wish, and his wish came true. He held on tightly to the star that almost slipped away.
Looking at Pei Zhiyu's naturally curved eyebrows after she fell asleep, Qin Hezhou gently placed his palm on her lower abdomen through the quilt. That was the fruit of their love and the proof of everything.
"I love you..." His voice was very soft, slowly like a gust of wind blowing over, "Pei Zhiyu, I love you."
Spring is coming,
We will love each other forever and be happy forever.
