On the Lantern Festival, Jiang Changning was abducted by He Lianyu to the He family.
I met the serious yet humorous Father He, the kind and lovely Mother He, the elder brother He who was as serious and henpecked as Father He, the amiable Sister He, the nephew He who had a bit of a middle school syndrome, and the adorable little Princess He.
The He family is quite satisfied with Jiang Changning, as can be seen from the gift that He's mother gave to Jiang Changning.
"Xiao Er, hurry up and marry her. I'm waiting to hold my granddaughter in my arms." He's mother gave He Lianyu instructions while carrying Jiang Changning on her back.
"I'll do it as soon as possible." He Lianyu also wanted to marry her as soon as possible, but Ningning was not in a hurry to get married. He had to think carefully about how to propose to her and make Ningning nod and agree to marry him.
He Lianyu didn't know that his assist was about to appear on the court, and this assist was none other than Jiang Changning's good friend Li Yan.
We have met each other's parents, and of course we have to meet our friends.
Jiang Changning's only good friend in City B is Li Yan. The other two are in Australia and the other is working on poverty alleviation in an old district, so they can't see each other for a while.
When Li Yan saw He Lianyu, she gave him a simple evaluation: "Excellent!"
After thinking for a while, he added a few more words, "Courageous."
"I know he's good quality and courageous. How do you tell that?" Jiang Changning asked sincerely.
Li Yan stretched out her right index and middle fingers and gestured in front of her eyes, "My eyes were so sharp, staring at him intently, but he remained calm and composed. This is courage."
Jiang Changning smirked, "Okay."
Li Yan hugged her neck and said, "Tell me the truth, how did you get such a high-quality man?"
Jiang Changning looked up at the sky, "It came to my door automatically."
"As expected, this world is all about looks." Li Yan said as she rubbed her face, "A handsome man matches a beautiful woman."
"Hey, get out of my way." Jiang Changning pushed her away and hid far away.
Li Yan went over again and asked, "When are you two planning to get married?"
"We haven't been together for long." Jiang Changning said this with a guilty conscience. They had been husband and wife for decades in Daqin.
"Girl, getting married requires impulse. You can't get married without careful consideration." Li Yan spoke from experience, as if she had forgotten her several failed love experiences.
“Impulse is the devil.”
"With such a handsome devil, it doesn't matter if I go to hell." Li Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled wickedly.
Jiang Changning picked up the cup and took a sip of water. "He hasn't even proposed to me."
"Xiao Ning'er, why are you so stupid?"
Jiang Changning glanced at her sideways, "What do you mean? How am I stupid?"
"If you wait for a man to propose to you, your hair will turn white. If you want to get married, you have to hint at him to propose to you. Men are stupid." Li Yan stuffed a pillow into her hand.
"How to hint?" Jiang Changning looked at Li Yan expectantly, hoping that she could give him some advice.
"Find an idol drama and tune in to the episode where the hero proposes to the heroine. Then, in front of him, hold your heart in your hands and say something pretentiously like, 'How romantic!'"
Jiang Changning had a disgusted expression on his face. "Hey, Yan Zi, you've watched too many melodramas. Besides, is this a hint? This is an explicit statement."
Li Yan glared at her. "It doesn't matter if it's explicit or implicit, as long as it's useful."
Jiang Changning shook his head. "I can't do it."
"You can do it." Li Yan squeezed into the sofa where she was sitting and hugged her. "You can handle such a difficult acquisition case. You can easily get a man."
Jiang Changning smirked, "You really think highly of me."
"That is required."
Under Li Yan's instigation, Jiang Changning was really moved and decided to hint to He Lianyu.
That night, the two of them had dinner outside and returned to the apartment. Jiang Changning used his mobile phone to cast the screen and watch the idol drama he found.
"Is this TV series good?" He Lianyu sat down next to her.
It's a bit vulgar and a bit rustic, but the meaning is conveyed.
On TV, the hero leads the heroine to the rooftop and lets her see the surprise prepared in advance.
"Dr. Mi, marry me!" The big words are both eye-catching and concise.
Jiang Changning deliberately said: "The male lead is really good, no wonder the female lead was moved to tears and was willing to marry him."
He Lianyu glanced at her, thoughtfully.
Jiang Changning noticed it, but pretended to watch the TV series seriously.
But in the next half month, He Lianyu didn't show any special behavior. When he was free, he would send her to work, pick her up from get off work, and take her out to eat delicious food.
Jiang Changning was extremely depressed, so he called Li Yan and said, "Your method doesn't work, he didn't respond."
Li Yan laughed, "What a woman who says one thing but acts honestly!"
"Stop laughing. If you continue laughing, I'll hang up." Jiang Changning threatened her angrily.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Li Yan gave her another suggestion, asking her to buy an invitation, saying that someone was getting married and inviting her to drink, "and then you can express yourself freely."
"Okay, got it."
Jiang Changning went to get a big red invitation, made up two names, and deliberately put it where He Lianyu could see it.
However, He Lianyu still did not do anything unusual. Jiang Changning became more and more annoyed and no longer tried to remind him.
It's okay to do one or two, but not the third. Anyway, she won't marry him unless he proposes.
Early on Saturday morning, He Lianyu woke Jiang Changning up and said he wanted to take her to a place. Jiang Changning followed him into the car and saw He Lianyu driving all the way out of the city.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Changning couldn't help but ask.
"Take you to elope." He Lianyu smiled.
Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows and took out a piece of dried purple sweet potato to eat.
He Lianyu drove for a long time and Jiang Changning was drowsy in the car.
"Hasn't arrived yet?" Jiang Changning slumped in the passenger seat.
"We'll be there soon."
The car stopped outside a farmyard. The yard was surrounded by fields and there was another house about one or two meters away from the yard.
A fence more than one meter high serves as the courtyard wall, with green vines entwined around it and flowers dotted among the green leaves.
Looking through the gap, you can see the blue brick and tile houses in the courtyard.
In a trance, Jiang Changning thought she had returned to ancient times.
"Ningning, let's go in and take a look." He Lianyu pushed open the wooden door.
Behind the wooden door is a path paved with bluestone slabs that leads directly to the door of the room.
There are several trees planted in the yard, and stone tables and benches under the trees.
Jiang Changning happily took He Lianyu and walked around the entire yard, "Ah Yu, I like it here very much, thank you."
He Lianyu let go of her hand, knelt on one knee, holding the jewelry box containing the ring, "Ningning, will you marry me?"
Jiang Changning looked down at him, raised the corners of his lips, and stretched out his hand, "Okay."
He Lianyu put the ring on her finger, stood up, and held her in his arms, "Thank you for marrying me again."
The extra story is finished. The two will not write more after they get married. I look forward to meeting you all again in the next book.
