When Su Yan contacted Shen Yinran for the first time, she once said that Cheng Kou liked flowers, especially red roses.
So he took note of it and directly asked Rong Yan to renovate the garden behind the villa, replacing the soil with good quality, and cultivate these fine red roses.
Su Yan embraced Cheng Kou and took her to see the biggest surprise of the day.
The roses in the garden were in full bloom. They had probably just been watered, and water droplets remained on the petals.
Although roses are gaudy, they are still breathtakingly beautiful when blooming in clusters like this.
Su Yan stood aside, watching her long eyelashes tremble gently with a smile, and her black pupils sliding across the tiny and fragmented light.
Then she suddenly looked at him, bit her lip, walked over, stood on tiptoes and hugged his neck tightly.
Her ear was pressed against his chest, and the strong heartbeat "boom boom" hit her eardrum.
"This is for you. Do you like it?"
"Yeah, I like it." These blooming roses are much more sincere than a big bouquet of flowers.
"Koubao." Su Yan put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. After a long while, he continued, "Do you want to live here and see them every day?"
Cheng Kou burst out laughing, raised his head and asked him, "Are you proposing to me?"
Su Yan smiled, nodded, and said, "It can be considered as such."
"What do you mean by count as one? That's too insincere." Cheng Kou complained dissatisfiedly, pinching the skin on the back of his neck with his fingers, "Then I won't agree."
Su Yan looked at her quietly, smiling without saying a word.
Cheng Kou was thinking that he really didn't want to give her a way out. The words had already been spoken, and if she went back on her word and agreed again, wouldn't that be a slap in her face
And there was no diamond ring or anything like that, which made me feel a little unwilling and I didn't want to let it go so easily to him.
But…
She knew in her heart that if he said it one more time, without any other request, she would still agree to it.
Su Yan suddenly chuckled, and Cheng Kou was puzzled as to why his laughter was clearer than others.
But the next second, she had no time to think about this question, because something furry and soft was touching her ankle.
"Huh?" Cheng Kou looked down and saw a snow-white rabbit squatting at her feet, grabbing the straps of her sandals with its short forelimbs.
"Bengbeng?" Cheng Kou squatted down and saw a ring hanging on its ear.
Bengbeng is a Polish rabbit. It is still small with short ears. The ring is on the edge of its ear and it sways a few times as it moves, becoming shaky.
Cheng Kou laughed out loud before he could even react.
She picked up the ring, stood up holding Bengbeng, and stared at Su Yan's face.
Sadly, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. He met her gaze calmly, and even had a hint of pride in his eyes.
He raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Sincerity?"
Cheng Kou shook his head, then nodded, and couldn't help laughing again: "I accepted it reluctantly."
That smile is so bright that people can't take their eyes off it.
All the background around them faded away, and the sounds seemed to disappear without a trace, leaving only the two of them and the rabbit in this space.
Su Yan took half a step forward, but Cheng Kou suddenly threw the rabbit into his arms and turned his head to look in the direction they came from.
"Yin Yin, stop peeking and come out." Her voice was full of determination.
Shen Yinran half-pegged her head out from the half-open door and smiled awkwardly.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Su Yan was silent for a while, then replied, "It's okay."
Shen Yinran stuck out her tongue at Cheng Kou, then retracted it, leaving only a shout.
"Happy proposal to you two!"
Cheng Kou turned his head silently. Su Yan held Bengbeng in one hand and tried to take the ring with the other hand.
Cheng Kou refused, hid his hands behind his back, and said, "Do you take back the things you gave away?"
Su Yan looked at her strangely and asked, "Don't you want to wear it?"
Only then did Cheng Kou hand it over obediently and put it in Su Yan's hand.
Su Yan could only move one hand, so he pinched the outer edge of the ring and whispered, "Stretch out your hand."
Cheng Kou stupidly stretched out his left hand, which earned him a helpless "tsk" sound: "Right."
"Oh." Cheng Kou changed his hand and opened his five fingers slightly.
Su Yan didn't even think about it and directly put it on his middle finger.
The ring is pushed to the base of the finger, not too big or too small, just right, not too tight, nor too loose to fall off.
Cheng Kou raised his right hand and looked at it carefully for a while in the gentle sunlight. The diamond was shining brightly and was a little dazzling.
The style of this ring is very unique, but not too luxurious.
Su Yan also took a look. He had chosen the ring himself. After visiting several stores, he was not satisfied with any of them. Finally, he decided to find a designer to customize a unique one.
After changing several batches of manuscripts, we finally decided on this one.
He didn't care how big the diamond was, as long as it was of good quality, so he spent a lot of money to buy this one.
Pure and transparent with excellent gloss.
Just like Cheng Kou’s people.
Su Yan waited until she had seen enough before asking with a smile, "Do you want to go see your flowers?"
Seeing Cheng Kou nod, Su Yan put Bengbeng down, then took her hand and pushed open the glass door.
Bengbeng rushed in before them and disappeared in an instant.
When the two of them walked into the garden, two men were happily talking on the vintage bench.
One of them had her back to them, her soft hair fluttering in the summer breeze.
Cheng Kou walked over and patted his shoulder: "Xia Linchen, what were you talking about with Senior Brother Lu?"
Lu Hanting smiled lightly: "Nothing, Lin Chen said that if he has the chance in the future, he wants to open a flower shop."
Cheng Kou looked at Xia Linchen and curled her lips: "Can you still settle down? Running around the world is your character."
Xia Linchen shifted his gaze to the flowers planted in the garden, and thought that if possible, he would also like to settle down and have a home of his own.
But he couldn't say it at this moment, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why did you guys come here just now?"
Cheng Kou was stumped by the question. He stammered, not knowing how to answer, and raised his hand to smooth his hair uncomfortably.
She was using her right hand, and Xia Linchen had sharp eyes and noticed the new ornament on her hand at a glance.
"Oh." He instantly curved his eyebrows, smiled as brightly as the sun, and said sincerely, "Congratulations."
After he said this, Lu Hanting also noticed it. He swept his eyes over Su Yan and finally fixed on Cheng Kou, then said, "Congratulations."
There is also an entertainment room in "Yanyuan" that Shen Wenzhou converted for his son. It is very large and can accommodate more than ten people.
Su Yan held a small party in this room. The people present were Cheng Kou's close friends besides his relatives, so the atmosphere was good.
The layout of this room is very similar to the side hall of the Su family's old house. Every New Year's Day, the younger generations would gather there.
Shen Yinran dragged out a chair and took out the bamboo flute that Cheng Kou usually used, and asked her to perform a song for everyone.
The little cuttlefish made the most noise, and his little face turned red from shouting so loudly.
Cheng Kou had no choice but to sit there and recall the whole song, but the only one he could play was "Wang Jiangnan" which he had performed at his high school New Year's Eve party.
Su Yan sat in the corner at the back, his heart soft.
Ten years ago, she wore a white cotton dress and was afraid of messing up her performance in public. She was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
Ten years later, she has become so calm, with a smile on her lips and confidence in her eyes and eyebrows.
She has changed a lot. Her eyebrows and eyes have grown older, but the gentleness between her eyebrows and eyes has not changed.
It turned out that time had given all regrets to happiness. Maybe they missed each other for ten years, but now he could still hear her playing the bamboo flute and the melodious tune of "Wang Jiangnan", which was enough.
Su Yan got up to answer a phone call. When he came back, he saw Zhou Weiyan standing by the window. The night wind blew up his clothes, making him look even colder in all black.
Su Yan called out softly, "Third brother."
When Zhou Weiyan heard someone calling him, he tilted his head to look over. His face, immersed in the dark night, faced the light and was tinged with some warmth.
Zhou Weiyan was also happy that his always cold and indifferent brother had found a home.
Although everyone has a good relationship, there will always be some who are special, just like Zhou Weiyan is always doting on Shen Lifeng, but not on Su Yan.
It's strange to say, Su Yan, the most taciturn person in this generation, is especially liked by the girls in the family, such as Qin Shan, who has been following Su Yan since she was a child, like a little tail that can't be shaken off.
The night was gentle, and Zhou Weiyan said calmly: "Xiaowu, do you still remember your childhood?"
Su Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied, "The tree climbing incident?"
Zhou Weiyan nodded. The two of them, and the fourth child, were only one year apart in age. Together with Qin Shan, who was like a little tail, they were all of similar age.
Once, four people were playing in the woods near the Su family’s old house. He and the fourth child were more naughty and clamored to climb trees.
Although Su Yan was one year younger than them, he was more stable by nature and rejected the proposal. Qin Shan was still a little girl wearing a baby dress and naturally could not crawl.
But he finally fell down and returned home covered in dust.
The adults asked who started it, obviously wanting to find someone to kill as an example to scare the others. He thought at the time that it would be fine if he just admitted it honestly. After all, blood had been shed, and no one would make things too difficult for him.
At this time, Su Yan stood up and took the blame for them.
Afterwards, Su Yan explained that since Su Zhong and his wife were not around, neither his second uncle nor his eldest uncle would punish him, so it was best for him to take the responsibility.
At that time, he didn't understand Su Yan and felt that his younger brother thought more than anyone else.
He is excellent and self-disciplined. Except for the two sisters of the Qin family, he never gets close to girls.
When we met today, he would also show a soft expression to someone and do things that were not something he could do.
It seems that everyone, in the face of love, becomes different from themselves, but they are willing to accept it.
Zhou Weiyan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaowu, be happy."
