Chapter 2042 Marriage Proposal (Twenty-Seven)

Yang Liu, who was sitting nearby and watching the fun, immediately smiled and waved her hand: "You young people are dating, your dad and I won't be the light bulbs. Besides, there are many mosquitoes at night, and I'm too lazy to go out."

Yang Liu has never liked summer very much, and this reason is very reasonable, so Ruan Qi didn't suspect it.

She looked at Cheng Jinyan and Grandpa Xi again.

"Big brother and Grandpa Xi haven't watched an open-air movie, right? Why not..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Grandpa Xi with a wave of his hand.

"I won't go. Movies nowadays are not good, and they are full of love and love. You young people go to watch them, and I'll play chess with your grandpa at home."

"..."Grandpa Xi, who always likes to join in the fun, actually rejected her. Ruan Qi was surprised for a moment and looked at Cheng Jinyan again.

But she didn't expect that Cheng Jinyan also rejected her.

"I have a video conference tonight, so I probably don't have time to watch an open-air movie. Sorry, Xiaoqi, you and Xi Jiu go."

"..."

Ruan Qi has rarely been rejected by her family. No matter how unreasonable her request is, her family will try their best to satisfy her.

But today, she suffered the worst Waterloo in her history.

The whole family, men, women, old and young, refused to go to the movies with her. Including the two dogs, Da Hui and Xiao Hui, Nie Heng refused Ruan Qi's request on the grounds that they had eaten too much these days, and they had to take them to the back mountain to jog to lose weight in the evening.

"Why is everyone busy today? Can't you go to the movies? The open-air movie is very lively, are you really not going to watch it?" Ruan Qi tried to persuade everyone unwillingly.

But everyone was determined and rejected her kindness again.

Ruan Qi had no choice but to turn her head and look at Xi Jiu: "Jiujiu, it may be only you and me tonight. There are not many people, will you feel bored?"

"No." Xi Jiu rubbed her head with a smile in his eyes, "It's more suitable to date when there are fewer people. I like to be alone with my baby."

Seeing this, Ruan Qi's mood suddenly became happy.

She picked up a big bun for Xi Jiu and said happily: "Then you eat more, and we will go on a date in the evening when you are full~"

...

Evening came quickly.

In order to cater to the atmosphere of the date, Ruan Qi took off the home clothes she had been wearing these days and changed into a beautiful and exquisite dress.

The bun that she had been wearing because she was too lazy to take care of it was also let down. The long black hair like silk was smoothly draped over her shoulders. A small white pearl hairpin was stuck on the side of her hair with broken hair, which was exquisite and cute.

Ruan Qi dressed up in the bedroom, then put on her small shoulder bag and walked downstairs with brisk steps.

Downstairs, Xi Jiu had already been waiting in the living room.

Unlike the casual dress these days, Xi Jiu tonight has become the high and mighty Xi Ye in the imperial capital. From the hair to the shoes, there is no place that is not exquisite, and the whole body exudes a noble atmosphere.

Ruan Qi walked downstairs and was shocked when she saw his imposing dress.

"Jiujiu, aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?"

Xi Jiu wore the most suitable black for him today. A black shirt embroidered with gold patterns, with sleeves neatly rolled up to the elbows. He was wearing trousers of the same color, with a regular pattern and high-end workmanship. Every inch of the fabric exuded the smell of money.

Such a high-end and expensive outfit is more than enough to attend a banquet.

But... it's August now!

In Qingyun Village in August, even if it's cool, it's nearly 30 degrees. In such a hot day, everyone wants to be naked. Is Xi Jiu wearing this long-sleeved and long-trousers to get heatstroke? !

Ruan Qi was completely stunned.

She looked at her fiancé who was so handsome that he seemed to be going to a wedding, and murmured: "Jiujiu, we are just going to watch a movie, not to walk the red carpet. You don't have to be so... grand."

Ruan Qi tried to persuade Xi Jiu to change into seasonal clothes.

But I don't know what happened to Xi Jiu today, and he suddenly became conceited.

He rejected the suggestion of changing clothes and insisted: "This one is good, no need to change. I have energy in my body, and I can adjust my body temperature according to the temperature, so I won't get heatstroke."

Ruan Qi: "..."

OK.

Her fiancé suddenly loves beauty, and she has to respect his hobby.

Ruan Qi persuaded herself to accept Xi Jiu, who was wearing long sleeves and long pants on a hot day, and then said goodbye to her family and left the villa.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu held hands and walked side by side on the path leading to the square.

The evening breeze was gentle, bringing the fragrance of grass and trees. The night sky without air pollution was clean and clear, dotted with stars, and sprinkled a starlight on the ground.

Ruan Qi walked under the starlight, feeling the warmth from Xi Jiu's big hand, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

"Jiujiu, it seems that we rarely walk hand in hand like this."

Xi Jiu, who was walking beside her, turned his head and looked at her, and said "um" softly.

Ruan Qi is a public figure, and showing up rashly will cause a disturbance. And Xi Jiu has not had a public status in the past two years, and it is not easy to appear in public with Ruan Qi hand in hand.

But now it's good, they have made their relationship public, and they can hold hands openly.

"After returning to the capital, I will reduce my workload appropriately and find more time to go out on a date with my baby. Aren't there a hundred things that couples must do on the Internet? We should do all of them, okay?"

Xi Jiu's dark eyes were filled with expectation, and he looked at Ruan Qi quietly.

Ruan Qi curved his eyes and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay. I will make less announcements in the future and spend more time with my parents. But Jiujiu, I am a public figure. If you go on a date with me, you may be watched."

Xi Jiu: "It doesn't matter, I run fast. If someone really blocks me, I will take the baby and run away."

Ruan Qi imagined the scene of Xi Jiu pulling her and running away in embarrassment, and couldn't help but laugh.

"But what if I can't run as fast as you? Will it hold you back?"

"No." Xi Jiu held her hand tightly and said in a serious tone, "I will run with the baby on my back. I have good physical strength and they can't catch up with me. In short, no matter what situation I face, I will never abandon the baby. "

Hearing these words, Ruan Qi couldn't help but feel a little softer.

Her eyes were full of smiles, and her gentle gaze fell on Xi Jiu's face, "I know, I know Jiujiu will never abandon me, and I will never abandon Jiujiu. Let's go quickly, the movie will start later here we go."

Ruan Qi pulled Xi Jiu and walked faster.

Based on past experience, open-air movies in the village usually start at 7:30. If you want to get a seat in the front, you have to arrive half an hour in advance.

In order to give Xi Jiu a full experience of watching an outdoor movie for the first time, Ruan Qi decided to go there quickly and get two good seats.

However, when she hurriedly arrived at the small square, she unexpectedly discovered——

There is no one here at all!

The empty little square has an unobstructed view. Not to mention people, not even a stray dog.

Where are people?

What about movies?

What about such a big movie screen?

Ruan Qi looked at the empty square and was dumbfounded.

"Jiujiu, did you remember the wrong date? Is the movie really tonight?" she asked uncertainly.

Xi Jiu pretended to be calm and nodded: "Even tonight, Nie Heng and I will remember it wrong."

Ruan Qi: "But now...there is nothing."

"Maybe there was an accident." Xi Jiu said, suddenly letting go of her hand, "I'm going to go find out. Baby, don't move here. I'll be right back."

After Xi Jiu finished speaking, before Ruan Qi could react, he turned around and ran away quickly.

"????"

Ruan Qi's head was filled with questions.

She wanted to call Xi Jiu. But Xi Jiu was too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Helpless, Ruan Qi had no choice but to put down her hands and stand obediently.

But as she stood, she vaguely noticed something strange around her.

This small square is a little too quiet.

In summer, when it gets dark late, seven or eight o'clock in the evening is the entertainment time for the villagers. And in this small square, villagers come to dance square dance every night, and there are also children running around and playing, which is really lively.

But today, there wasn't even an ant in the square.

Even if there is an outdoor movie tonight, it won't be so quiet, right? Where is the aunt who dances in the square? What about the little kids running around in the square?

Ruan Qi realized something was wrong belatedly.

She didn't want to stand there and wait anymore, and was going to go to a crowded place to find out what happened.

But before going, she had to send a WeChat message to Xi Jiu.

Ruan Qi took out her phone and was about to unlock the screen.

However, at this moment, the lights around the square suddenly went out with a "swish".

The whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of cloth and instantly became dark.

Standing in the center of the square, Ruan Qi's first reaction was that there was danger and enemies.

But before she could become alert, an orange light slowly turned on in the thick night.

Then, the second, third, fourth... countless lights slowly emerged from all directions, and then floated lightly into the night sky in the gentle evening breeze.

It turned out to be a Kongming Lantern!

Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly opened wide.

She looked up at the lights in the night sky, and before she could react, a Kongming lantern slowly floated in front of her.

Different from other Kongming lanterns, this Kongming lantern is larger and more exquisite in workmanship.

On the lantern paper, a picture was drawn with a brush. In the picture, there is a little girl wearing a sunflower hairband, and a young man with an indifferent expression.

Those were nine-year-old Ruan Qi and sixteen-year-old Xi Jiu.

[This is our first encounter]

——Beside the painting, someone wrote this line on the lantern with a brush.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Ruan Qi guessed who the owner of the Kongming Lantern was.

Her eyes were slightly hot, and she let go of the Kongming Lantern, letting it fly slowly into the sky.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound, and a white drone flew slowly from a distance, and finally stopped in front of Ruan Qi.

Through the sky full of Kongming lanterns, Ruan Qi saw something hanging under the drone.

She stood on tiptoe, raised her hand and took off the thing——

It turned out to be a dragonfly woven from grass leaves.

This dragonfly is very delicately woven, with a thin twine running at its end. And on the twine, there is a carefully polished wooden sign.

There is a small line of words engraved on the wooden sign——

[At the age of three, you have your first grass dragonfly]

I thought about the proposal plot for a long time. I was torn between luxury and luxury for a long time and ordinary warmth, and finally chose the latter. Compared to a proposal ceremony that involves spending money, letting Mr. Xi make Kongming lanterns and weave grass dragonflies with his own hands is more meaningful and more worthy of his sincerity for Ruanbao. Of course, the content of the proposal is more than that, there will be something more thoughtful tomorrow. Please look forward to it~
