"Have you decided to graduate?"
"Dang Dang Dang~! Hey! I got all my certificates back!"
July 15th, midsummer.
Today is the beginning of summer vacation at Suzhou University. Shen Yu has met the requirements for school hours and credits, and applied for graduation in advance. Immediately afterwards, Li Xiang also completed the exam for international students and applied to end her study abroad in advance.
"You don't have to go to work, you're not pregnant, and our wedding date hasn't been decided yet. You can continue studying. Anyway, I will pick you up from school every day."
Shen Yu still feels quite melancholy about Li Xiang insisting on ending her study abroad. After all, the two of them met because she came to China to study. Now that she has graduated, she feels a little flustered for no reason.
It's hard to explain where this panic comes from. After all, she subconsciously feels that even if something happens, she will still stay in Sunan because of her studies. But now, this reason seems to be gone.
He has to propose, he has to find another way to tie her to him forever.
Shen Yu is not a person who worries about gains and losses, but when he really shows love for her, the feeling of eagerness to have her becomes stronger.
"Hmph~ Rika wants to rely on you!"
Li Xiang put the certificate away, held his hand, and they walked along the school road together.
Su Da is very beautiful. The summer sunshine leaks through the shade of the trees and scatters on the ground into thin spots of light. The cicadas seem to be tireless, intertwining words of love and wind songs to accompany this summer.
"This way, I don't have to go to class every morning. We can go to the company together, and we don't have to do homework at night. Rika's drawings haven't been handed over to Matsushima's editor yet, and she's going to be furious..."
"Oh, so you still remember that you can draw comics?"
"It's all your fault..."
After graduation, I rarely come back here again.
More than ten years of campus life came to an end this summer, and life has officially embarked on a new journey.
Chen Yu took Li Xiang with him to the office to say goodbye to several teachers who had helped him, and to the student dormitory to say goodbye to his classmates who were packing their luggage to go home. Maybe there were not many opportunities to see each other again.
"You are the most promising person in our class. After we graduate, you will hang out with Mr. Shen! Don't dislike it!"
"When are you two getting married? You must send us a post then, preferably this year or next year. Our classmates are all at Soochow University and we will go together to support you!"
"A top student is a top student. He always turns in papers faster than us. I'm so envious!"
"The future is bright!"
In the evening, Shen Yu and Li Xiang ate together in the school canteen. After the meal, they walked around the track and field, watching the sunset and watching others running and playing ball.
Time slowed down, leisurely and comfortable. Shen Yu found a place on the grass that would not be hit by the ball. He took off his shirt and spread it on the grass for Li Xiang to sit.
Looking at his rogue appearance in a white vest, Li Xiang sneered: "Mr. Shen is too careless about his image!"
"What's the point? Look at the players over there, don't they all wear vests?"
"I'm worried that a senior student has a crush on my husband!"
"Don't worry, I only care about you. You sit here for a while, and I'll go to the canteen to buy you a watermelon."
"Then you should come back soon."
"soon."
Shen Yu moved his body and ran straight towards the canteen.
Looking at his running back, Li Xiang's eyes were gentle and her heart was sweet.
Not long after, he ran back again, holding a transparent plastic bag in his hand. Inside was cut cold watermelon with two bamboo sticks stuck in it.
"Huh~ Hurry up and eat it while it's cold."
Chen Yu sat down next to her, opened the bag, held the watermelon in his hand, poked a piece of it with a bamboo skewer and handed it to her mouth.
"Ah-uh~!"
Watermelon is a perfect match for summer. Li Xiang likes to eat watermelon very much. The cold and sweet taste blooms on the tip of the tongue, the juice flows down the throat, and her big eyes narrow in happiness.
"Is it sweet?"
“Super sweet!”
Her mouth bulged up like a small ball, and with a loud pop, the watermelon seeds were spit out far away and fell into the grass. Like a child, she nodded contentedly.
"Will watermelon seedlings grow?"
"Probably so."
The cicadas chirped more cheerfully in the evening, and their sounds seemed to have never changed, tirelessly. While eating the watermelon, Li Xiang looked up curiously to look for them, but she couldn't find them.
"Husband~"
"Um?"
"Did you see the cicada?"
"No, we have to let Puff come to see them. Not only can she see them, but she can also catch them all."
Li Xiang was amused, tilted her little head and leaned on his shoulder, watching the sunset in the distance sink little by little, and the sky was covered with red clouds.
"Does my husband know about Cicada's life?"
"For several years, the cicadas will develop and molt underground. After a summer rain, they will come out, climb up the tree and squeak non-stop."
"Yes, yes, if there are no cicadas in the summer, it must be a lot lonely."
Li Xiang took Shen Yu's big hand, and her white fingers drew on his palm, outlining the outline of a cicada.
"After waiting alone in the dark underground for so long, I broke out of the ground, full of expectations, and screamed out my heart in a short summer! Doesn't it feel super romantic?"
"Well, I only know that a person's life only lasts 30,000 days. Without you, I would definitely be lonely for the rest of my life."
"So hubby, you are summer, and Lixiang is cicada!"
"A perfect match?"
“Super match!”
The summer was very hot, but Li Xiang still liked to stick to him, her artistic energy had not changed at all, she nestled in his arms like a kitten and said sweet words.
Chen Yu pinched her soft flesh, lowered his head and kissed her and asked, "It's a holiday now, when will you go back to Yokohama?"
"Ugh... Lixiang doesn't know. She wants to go home, but she doesn't want to leave you..."
Shen Yu couldn't bear to leave her, so he stretched out his hand to pick her up and put her on his lap.
Many students who were walking looked over. Rika was shy and buried her face in his chest, listening to his thumping heartbeat.
"But you still have to go back this time. How about booking a flight for the day after tomorrow?"
"Well!"
Li Xiang pressed her forehead against his chest, coquettishly, not wanting to go back so early.
As soon as she acted coquettishly, Shen Yu became soft-hearted and almost blurted out, "My husband will go back with you."
It would be okay at other times, but not this time. He would have to go to Yokohama with his parents to propose marriage at a later date, and bring her back from Yokohama openly.
"You forgot..."
Chen Yu whispered a few words into her ear, and saw her face and ears stained with crimson.
"Then, you should pick me up earlier..."
Li Xiang opened her small mouth, nibbled on his shoulder, raised her fist and threatened: "If you trick Li Xiang into going home, and then don't come to pick me up, I will... I will run back by myself... "
What kind of threat is this? Is it free to come back by myself
Oh, it is indeed a threat. After all, if Rika Road Chi runs back by herself, she might go to someone else's house.
"Don't worry, I will let you go back happily, and then I will take you back happily."
"How happy are you?"
"How happy do you want to be?"
"Well, it's more fun than eating balloon pudding."
"Go home, I'll carry you back."
"whee… "
Shen Yu hugged her and stood up, patting the grass clippings on her buttocks. After she stood firm, he squatted down in front of her. Li Xiang held his shirt, her soft body pressed against his strong back, and her little hands rested on his In front of her, she kissed the back of his neck dishonestly.
"Like now, I am just as happy as one-third of a balloon pudding~"
"Is it so little?"
"That's a lot!"
"Then hold on steady."
Before Li Xiang could react, Shen Yu started running. The evening wind blew the girl's hair, and the cicada's cries were mixed with her exclamations and laughter.
Without the eyes of passers-by, Shen Yu seemed to have kidnapped his wife and ran away with her on his back.
"What now!"
"Giggle! The joy of half a balloon pudding!"
The car was still parked at the school. Halfway there, Shen Yu was almost exhausted, so he took a taxi and sat in the back seat with Li Xiang.
Regardless of whether it caused psychological trauma to the driver, the two kissed passionately in the back seat.
After returning home, my parents were watching TV in the living room. Seeing Shen Yu and Li Xiang's embarrassed appearance after such an intense exercise, they hesitated to speak, and finally pretended not to have seen it and continued to eat melon seeds and watch TV.
It's never too early to have a grandson.
Li Xiang was very ashamed. For more than two months, she had been living with her uncle and aunt. After all, she had not officially recognized herself yet. Sometimes she felt that her uncle and aunt were looking at her ambiguously, so she quietly hid behind Shen Yu. Extremely guilty.
Chen Yu's face is getting thicker and thicker, and he seems to regard Li Xiang as his wife. Sometimes he even deliberately kisses Li Xiang in front of his parents, as if he wants to marry her.
When he didn't feel embarrassed, it was Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru who were embarrassed.
Recently, the old parents were thinking about whether they should find a reason to move out for a while and leave this place to Shen Yu and Li Xiang.
These two people are so disgusted every day, don't they consider the feelings of their parents
After returning home, Shen Yu and Li Xiang hid in the room and took a bath together in the bathroom. Their bodies were naked and sticky, and they fell on the bed.
The lights were not turned off either, perhaps because of the mood of the upcoming separation, Li Xiang was extraordinarily devoted and proactive.
It wasn't until late at night that she fell asleep from exhaustion.
Even when he fell asleep, he didn't want to let go, clinging to him like an octopus.
Chen Yu adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, pulled the thin quilt to cover her, hugged her, and looked closely at her sleeping face.
There are still red marks on her back from scratching when she was excited, and Shen Yu can also feel her mood.
The lingering love of life.
A finger gently scratched the bridge of her nose, and Li Xiang's little mouth pursed, her beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she twisted her body, looking angry and ashamed, extremely naughty.
Shen Yu quietly turned around, turned off the light, and savored the aftertaste of just now, and put his hand on her back, stroking it gently.
This feeling of being filled with her is probably Rika Kong.
The diamond ring for the proposal has been prepared, the new house has been decorated, and the cheering partners have been arranged. Everything is ready.
For the first time in his life, he was a hundred times more nervous and attentive than facing the college entrance examination. He was going to formally propose to Li Xiang on July 17, the day after tomorrow!
The seasons cycle endlessly, in this hazy night.
Shen Yu decided not to miss this summer again.
…
When Ke Liangji, Zhao Yage, Jiang Ningle and Li Jing walked into the yard, their surprise turned into a concise and clear voice: Wow!
"What a rich man!"
"This is a villa, right?!"
"There is also a koi pond! Why does it feel like your yard is so much wider!"
Today is the day when the decoration is officially completed. The yard is also a place that Shen Yu has designed with great care, making full use of the space. Walking in along the cobblestone path, there are lawns on both sides, and there are small koi ponds, vegetable gardens, stone tables and other spaces. There are many small flower beds surrounded by them.
The lawn has been laid, the flower seedlings have been planted, and all the flowers and plants that Li Xiang likes have been purchased.
Su Zhifu's hands were covered with mud and she was squatting in the small vegetable garden of five square meters, planting garlic and green onions. She was watching the changes in the appearance of her brother Shen Yu's house bit by bit, but she was not as surprised as Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage.
Chen Yu took the key and showed Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage from the first floor to the third floor. He put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "It's just average. It can be used as a wedding room, not to mention a villa. Most Japanese-style buildings are like this." Style, Li Xiang will live here for the rest of her life, so Moyo will be able to get more used to it."
"A face like Versailles!"
Zhao Yage complained, especially when visiting the master room, she even admired: "You guys are quite good at playing, with such a big bathtub, and such a transparent bathroom glass wall..."
Ke Liangji also nodded repeatedly and said to Zhao Yage: "My requirements are not high. From now on, Brother Ya, if you buy me a house like this, I will reluctantly help you wash and cook for the rest of my life."
Zhao Yage poked his forehead: "Are you used to dreaming in broad daylight?"
Jiang Ningle's eyes also lit up, especially when she saw such a big bed and such a great bathroom. She never expected that Shen Yu and Li Xiang would be the best at playing.
She and Li Jing have already received their certificates in Singapore, and the wedding has not yet been decided, but unless Zhao Yage and Ke Liangji suddenly overtake each other, they will probably be the next couple to get married.
"Where's Lixiang? She has to cling to you every day, but today you can actually sneak over by yourself?"
"I went shopping with my mother. Come on, come on, decorate the scene smoothly."
The location of the proposal is relatively subtle. Shen Yu is not willing to propose in a public square or in a company. Li Xiang is also uncomfortable. It is best to do it at home, where they meet.
Balloons, ribbons, lanterns, candles, red roses, etc., Shen Yu has secretly prepared them.
It was the first time for several young men and women to do this kind of thing, and they seemed very excited. After all, the two best friends were about to enter a new chapter in their lives. The feeling was quite wonderful.
Shen Yu is not a particularly ritualistic person, but he hopes to give Li Xiang a romantic proposal ceremony.
Too much dreamy extravagance seems unreal. Li Xiang is a girl who likes to live a small life at home. Simply having a few friends present to witness this joy is enough to satisfy her.
"Let's go through the process again. The first thing is Puff. When you saw me coming into the room, you gave me the ring. Then Liangji and you hid in the closet. When I started to propose, Rika said she would reject me. Three times, when she hesitated, you ran out to assist!"
"Perfect! That's it!"
…
After dinner the next night, Li Xiang helped Zhang Xiaoru clean up the dishes. Shen Yu avoided her and took out her mobile phone to send a message to the proposal team.
"Don't worry, we are ready!"
"Don't forget to pick her up at Puff's house."
"She's here."
Li Xiang's mood seemed a little low today. After all, she would not be able to see him for a while when she went home this time...
This bad guy, the reserved girl has hinted at him many times, why hasn't he proposed yet
Humph, anyway, Li Xiang eats and lives in your house, and sleeps with you at night to have fun. I won’t leave until you propose...
Even if I propose marriage, I will reject you three times!
Lixiang made up her mind and planned to refund the ticket later, just to see when this wooden lump would propose to her.
When she packed up the kitchen and came out, Shen Yu waved the car keys in front of her eyes.
"Come on, let's go for a walk together."
"I have to pack my luggage. I just woke up tomorrow morning and I will go back to Yokohama."
Li Xiang hinted secretly.
"It doesn't take much time. I'll help you clean it up later."
“…”
For the first time in history, Li Xiang was dragged out of home for a walk by Chen Yu.
Driving a car, wandering slowly on the road, looking at the night view of the city, and listening to soft music.
Probably because she was thinking about something, Lixiang didn't pay attention to the music in the car, which was replaced by sweet love songs and confession songs. Under the influence of the background music, for some reason, her heartbeat inexplicably increased a lot.
"Husband~"
"Um?"
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
The last time Li Xiang said this to him was during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but this time, Shen Yu learned his lesson.
"The same to you."
"Hehe...where are we going?"
"You'll find out later."
Hearing that he was so mysterious, Li Xiang was a little excited. After all, there was nothing mysterious about a tree like him.
Any other girl would have recognized where she was going after turning a few intersections, but Rika Luchi didn't realize she was going home until the car turned into an alley.
"Husband, have we finished decorating our home? Didn't you say it will take another week or two?"
"Let's get out of the car and take a look."
The two held hands and walked from the courtyard to the first floor and then to the second floor. Lixiang's little face was full of excitement.
"How is it? Do you like it? Is it exactly the same as what you drew?"
"Yeah! It feels like I'm living in a painting!!"
The decoration design of the house was the result of a long discussion between the two in bed. Now seeing the love nest of their dreams being built, Li Xiang felt extremely excited.
"Honey, let's go see the room!"
Li Xiang pulled him and was about to run to the room, Shen Yu said calmly: "You go and see first, I'll go to the toilet."
The lights in the room were not turned on, so it was dark.
As Rika pressed the switch, the large room lit up.
She froze.
In front of her was a heart made of nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. The whole room was covered with flowers and decorated with pink balloons. As she took a step forward numbly, a rainbow made of small colored lights appeared. The road lit up on both sides, and the projector was turned on, projecting memories of her time with Shen Yu on the white walls.
He did not forget to prepare a proposal ceremony for her. Although the straight man was not romantic and the ceremony was not grand, it was just plain and quiet, giving her the best things and the most beautiful scenes he knew.
It is difficult to describe the inner feeling at this moment. It is not clear whether it is the cicada's mood that has finally waited for summer, or the little deer's heart full of sweet impulses.
Her heart was hit by some kind of throbbing. Lixiang lowered her head, her nose was sour, and big tears fell down her face...
"Oh... Husband... Husband!"
Li Xiang was about to run out to find him, but Shen Yu had already put on a white suit and came out.
He walked up to Li Xiang, knelt down on one knee, stretched out his left hand, and Su Zhifu quickly put the ring box into his palm.
Chen Yu opened the box, took out the diamond ring from inside, held her hand, and looked into her big tearful eyes.
He could feel the mood she was feeling. He had already memorized the lines by heart, but now he had forgotten them for a moment...
"I originally thought that I would never fall in love with anyone in this life, let alone propose to, get married, and spend my whole life with anyone..."
It was the first time I saw her crying so fiercely. The warm tears dripped down and fell on the back of his hand. His voice became choked with her emotions as he spoke.
"Until that time you came home last year, the feeling of emptiness and longing in my heart did not diminish as time went by, but became more intense..."
"When I went to find you, I enjoyed the feeling of getting happier every minute, and I roughly knew that I really fell in love with you..."
"After that, I discovered that I was a coward. I was afraid that I was not strong enough, that I could not protect you when you needed it, that fate was unpredictable, that things were unpredictable, that life was not long enough to cherish it slowly, that I was not awake enough to Feel all the feelings…”
Lixiang listened to his words word by word, wiping her tears over and over again with the back of her hand, crying so hard: "Oh... Husband... you did a good job... "
"I'm not a romantic, and I'm stupid. No one can make me miss you so much except you. Maybe what I give you is not the best, but I will give you the best, and have one of our own." Home, go shopping together, cook together, wash dishes together, take walks together..."
"I want to see you carefree every day and smile at me every day when you wake up. I hope that the person who gives you happiness throughout your life is me..."
"Asaba Rika, are you willing..."
"I do! I do!! I do!!!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and cried into his arms. The two of them fell to the ground together. They didn't care that Su Zhifu was next to them and kissed each other vigorously.
Ke Liangji, Zhao Yage, Jiang Ningle, and Li Jing, who were hiding in the closet and were about to come out to cheer, looked at each other...
What does this mean
Didn’t you agree to reject it three times
Don't you even give me a chance to play a small role? !
.
.
(Finally we have reached this step, and I am as happy as an old mother. Maybe this proposal is not gorgeous, but it is Chen Yu’s sincere confession and lifelong commitment to Li Xiang. They will be happy forever. This is the blessing from the corner kissing pig. )
(Thanks to Mr. Lion for the 20,000 reward~)
