Chapter 635: Proposal (Part 2)

Jiangzhou is a small city. At night, except for the brightly lit city center, other places become very deserted.

The two rows of street lamps by the lake emit a faint yellow light, which can only illuminate the road.

Xu Ye leaned on the railing by the lake, and his thoughts once again leaped to the summer four years ago.

Everything started from that time, and there should be no summer better than that summer.

…

Chen Qingqing drove out of her home and followed the navigation all the way to the edge of Nanhu Lake. She parked the car on the side of the road, looked around, and then took out her mobile phone to call Xu Ye.

"Hello, I'm here, where are you?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Do you remember the place where we first met? I'll wait for you there."

After Xu Ye finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Chen Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly got out of the car, stood on the side of the road and looked down. After vaguely seeing a figure, Chen Qingqing walked down the stairs quickly.

Before she even got close to him, Chen Qingqing asked, "Aren't you going to get the marriage certificate? Why are you here?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Silly, how can the Civil Affairs Bureau be open at night?"

"Huh?"

After Chen Qingqing got closer, she could only see clearly what Xu Ye was wearing. She was obviously dazed for a moment, and then she couldn't help but point at Xu Ye with her finger, and then looked down at her clothes.

"Why..."

Before she could finish her words, Xu Ye pointed at the stone chair next to her and said, "Look what I brought over."

Chen Qingqing turned her head and took a look, her eyes widened even more.

A guitar lay quietly on the chair, and Chen Qingqing instantly understood Xu Ye's intention, and she even guessed what Xu Ye wanted to do by calling her here tonight.

Chen Qingqing said 'straightforwardly', "Are you going to propose to me?"

"No!"

Xu Ye slapped his forehead and said speechlessly, "Can you leave me some suspense? If you tell me directly, how can I proceed with the following things?"

Chen Qingqing smiled.

She returned to the chair where she had sat before, then held the guitar in her arms, staring at Xu Ye with her bright eyes, and then said with expectation and joy: "Okay, then just pretend I didn't say anything, please start your performance."

"It's boring."

Xu Ye walked up and sat next to Chen Qingqing, then took out the diamond ring box from his pocket, handed it to Chen Qingqing and said: "Just go through the motions."

After listening, Chen Qingqing grabbed Xu Ye's ear and said angrily: "No, you can't propose while sitting down."

"That's right."

Xu Ye put the diamond ring aside first, and reached out to take the guitar from Chen Qingqing's hand: "Do you remember what song we sang here that night?"

"Seven Miles of Fragrance."

"Do you want to listen?"

"Yes."

Xu Ye plucked the strings twice, stood up and returned to the position where he stood four years ago. He deliberately made a loud noise to pretend to clear his throat, which made Chen Qingqing on the chair laugh non-stop.

But he soon became serious, and his voice slowly echoed as the prelude sounded.

"Sparrows outside the window"

"Talkative on the electric pole"

"You said this sentence has a very summery feeling."

"..."

Chen Qingqing leaned back in the chair, raised her head and looked at Xu Ye, her delicate face full of smiles, and her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescents. When she sang the climax of the chorus, he couldn't help but whispered along:

"I'll continue writing"

"Write my love for you forever at the end of the poem"

"You are the only one I want to understand."

"..."

The coda gradually ended, Xu Ye took off the guitar, walked up to Chen Qingqing and asked shamelessly: "How is it, handsome?"

Chen Qingqing rarely nodded, and didn't say ugly as before, but happily replied: "Handsome."

"Who was handsome four years ago, or am I handsome now?"

If the word "handsome" in this sentence is changed to "good-looking", and it is asked by a girl, it would be a sure-fire question.

However, Chen Qingqing, who had been tricked by Xu Ye countless times, was no longer the easy-to-fool little white rabbit she was back then. She changed the subject directly and said, "I remember that there was a moon and stars on the night four years ago. When you stood there singing, you looked like the male protagonist on TV. Tonight there is only the moon, but no stars. It feels a little off."

"It's okay."

Xu Ye said generously, "I'll call God and ask him to put up the stars."

"Tsk, bragging again."

Xu Ye actually took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

After whispering a few words, Xu Ye hung up the phone and said to Chen Qingqing confidently, "The stars will be there soon."

"I don't believe it..."

Before he finished speaking, accompanied by a bang, a brilliant fire burst out at the same time on the five-kilometer-long lakeshore along the entire South Lake. Countless fires rushed into the air and exploded, turning into beautiful "stars".

No one expected that there would be a wonderful fireworks show on the edge of Nanhu Lake tonight. After seeing the fireworks, the passing vehicles stopped by the roadside tacitly. After hearing the sound, the residents nearby also walked out of their homes and stood by the windows and balconies to watch.

Chen Qingqing stood up in surprise. She looked at the fireworks in the sky, then at Xu Ye. Somehow, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand. Two tears slid down from her red eyes, and soon formed two tear marks on her face.

Xu Ye took her to the railing and watched the fireworks show prepared for her quietly.

Just when the fireworks were about to end, the last and largest firework was finally lit opposite the South Lake. With a whoosh, a bright light cut through the night sky, followed by colorful fireworks exploding in the sky, like prosperity blooming, and like stars falling. Some lights disappeared quickly, and some lights remained in the air. They formed four big words-Marry me.

Xu Ye also took out the diamond ring that had been taken out of the box from his pocket. After letting go of Chen Qingqing's little hand, he knelt on one knee on the ground. He looked up and smiled gently: "Will you marry me?"

Chen Qingqing nodded vigorously, and her voice choked with sobs: "I do!"

She stretched out her right hand.

He handed over the ring.

The diamond ring was neither too big nor too small, and it just fit on the ring finger.

After she pulled him in from the ground, she stepped into his arms, and gently patted Xu Ye's chest with her right hand wearing the diamond ring, whispered "you big bad guy", and then stretched out her hands to hold his waist tightly.

"Why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying."

"My clothes are all wet."

"That's snot."

"Then you have to hide in my arms, don't let others see you with a runny nose."

Chen Qingqing raised her head and reached out to grab Xu Ye's collar: "Quick, kiss me."

"..."
