Will marriage be Cao Aiqing's long-cherished wish?
He Tianran didn't know that he hadn't thought about this issue at all before he spoke. The reason why he could resolutely come back here, kneel on one knee in front of Cao Aiqing, and ask her to become his family and his lover, It's really what he said -
For me, there is no compromise, no one else but you.
This is a very important decision, and it does not come out of the blue. This idea seems to have been planned for a long time. As early as high school, He Tianran had imagined the name of their child after the two got married...
This idea has existed for a long time before they experienced reincarnation.
Going around and around, dividing and reuniting, He Tianran seemed to have returned to the starting point, and also seemed to have reached the end.
This request to spend the rest of his life together is like the lingering sound in He Tianran's heart when he was a boy. At this moment when he truly became an adult, he finally received an echo of "I do".
After hearing Cao Aiqing's response, He Tianran had mixed feelings. He stood there in silence for a moment. Even though his heart was throbbing and joyful, he did not react with any excitement.
For the two of them, these experiences were too much. In the end, the man just wore a satisfied and happy face and slowly sat down next to the shy girl with tears on her face...
Then he gently took her hand.
The girl's palms trembled slightly, but in the end she did not refuse.
Nothing was said between the two.
They just watched the sun on the seaside slowly descending with the Ferris wheel. They witnessed the process of the sun kissing the sea and then finally sinking. The fragrance of dusk and its vague colors, as well as the low sound of the sea water hitting the shore, mixed in. Together, several white sails, like a few snow-white feathers on the blue water and golden sea, gently teased their heartstrings.
Their fingers were clasped together, as if they had already spoken a thousand words.
The Ferris wheel has landed, and the most beautiful golden time in the dusk has receded. At this moment, the sky is a deep purple. The night is approaching, and there is still a little red cloud in the west making the final resistance.
He Tianran took Cao Aiqing's hand and walked out. They went to the side and waited quietly for Xue Yong and Bai Tingting who had not yet landed.
It stands to reason that this is not the first time for the two of them to fall in love, let alone the first time to be together, but they are still a little cautious when they come together again...
He Tianran couldn't help but remember going to her father's class with Cao Aiqing the year before last. After it was over, the three of them drank tea together. Cao Aiqing said loudly that she and she could not be boyfriend and girlfriend. It was fine now. It was early. Come on...
And even if they don't become boyfriend and girlfriend, but become an unmarried couple, it shouldn't be considered a broken promise, right?
"Hey~"
As he thought about it, He Tianran laughed out loud and touched his nose...
Cao Aiqing noticed something strange about him and was stunned for a moment. Then, with an embarrassed look on his face, he immediately threw his hand away.
"What's wrong with you?" He Tianran was a little surprised when his hand was thrown away.
"Why are you laughing?" Cao Aiqing stared at him and asked uncomfortably.
Then you must not say what you were thinking just now. If you say this, the girl will definitely become anxious, but judging from the other party's state, she should have guessed that she has no good intentions. The general reason is not easy to get away with, so in He Tianran's thoughts After the telex transfer, he decided to aggrieve his brother first, and he made up nonsense:
"I was thinking, we rode the Ferris wheel, and Xue Yong and Tingting also rode the Ferris wheel, but their progress was definitely not as fast as ours. I don't know what Tingting was thinking, but when Brother Xiaoyong saw us holding hands, You must compliment me in a teasing way, saying, 'Natural brother, wow~', bang bang, bang, bang, blah, blah, blah."
Sure enough, this excuse successfully diverted Cao Aiqing's attention, and she said doubtfully:
"Why 'jokingly touting'?"
He Tianran explained patiently:
"Because in his impression, it has been almost seven years since we went from high school to college, and our relationship has not progressed. It is too slow, so every time I meet him, he will make fun of me."
What He Tianran said was serious, and Cao Aiqing did not doubt him and asked deliberately:
"Slow?"
The man shook his head quickly:
"Don't be slow, we have different personalities. While others are still planning to express our love, we are already pursuing the goal of getting married. This is several positions ahead of others, unless it is Brother Xiaoyong. We will have a wedding with Tingting and the others next year, so we have to overtake them in a corner, otherwise they won’t even be able to catch up with us.”
Cao Aiqing blushed and her heart skipped a beat at what he said. The long-lost love fell on this girl again, so she was inevitably frightened in her heart.
She pondered for a moment.
"natural……"
"Um?"
"I...I don't know if I can adapt to life with you around me anymore..."
He Tianran paused, and he understood Cao Aiqing's concerns. For a long time, the two of them had spent far more time apart than together. Reincarnation had lengthened the front line of their relationship, which was full of twists and turns, but it was really Come to think of it, it actually took more than three months for the two to break up from the time they confirmed their relationship after the college entrance examination to the time they broke up during military training. Even after the world line was restarted, He Tianran became a student of the University of Hong Kong and spent time with Cao Aiqing as a "friend" Days, and they spent much more time together than when they were "couples".
"How did we manage to be together for only three months, but it seems like we have been entangled for several lifetimes?"
Thinking about it, He Tianran smiled and whispered, his love didn't seem to last long, but it was so unforgettable.
"Of course, I..."
Cao Aiqing thought that He Tianran might have made a mistake and thought that he was going to regret it, so he couldn't help but want to explain, but the latter said warmly:
"Ai Qing, you don't need to say anything. There is actually not that much that needs to be explained between us..."
The man held the girl's hand again.
"I know that having one more person in your current life means changes. You have always been a very planned person, but actually I think we will have enough time to adapt slowly, so you don't have to feel panic about it. Anxiety, whether you want to continue studying abroad in the future or have other plans, I will support you, just like we have been getting along this year, just like... when we first got together."
He Tianran slowly pulled Cao Aiqing into his arms. He stroked the girl's black and smooth hair, like stroking a rabbit that had been unruly and biting before, but finally became docile.
"this time……"
"Um?"
Cao Aiqing, who was buried in the man's chest, was making a loud noise, and his words were like the sound of mosquitoes. He Tianran lowered his head to confirm.
After a few seconds, Cao Aiqing finally carefully said a complete sentence:
"This time...will we be together for a long time?"
"..."
He Tianran burst into laughter.
"What, are you in a hurry? How about we find a good day recently and get married first?"
"Hmm~"
Feeling the girl in his arms shaking her head violently, He Tianran was overjoyed, and he teased:
"You're not in a hurry, do you want to take your time? By coincidence, I am too."
Cao Aiqing was so embarrassed by him that she raised her head from her arms. The disappearing red clouds in the sky lingered on her face, and her eyes, which had just been washed by tears, were so clear and moving.
However, she looks like a red-eyed little white rabbit, but she still pretends to be a big bad wolf and says cruel words:
"It seems that I promised you too early! If Tingting comes down and makes no progress with Xue Yong later, then we... we will wait until they are better!"
He Tianran was immediately dumbfounded.
"No, you girls liked to go to the bathroom together when you were in high school. I don't know why, but now you are together even if you are in love? I have to criticize you, classmate Cao Aiqing, you don't seem to have time travel experience. People!"
"I...I...didn't you go back and forth several times before you realized that you should grow up?"
Just when the reunited lovers started to quarrel, they heard a very exaggerated voice.
"Wow, brother Tianran! You really blinded me. Let's go, Tingting. We should be under the car, not here."
"..."
The two of them looked around and saw Xue Yong with his hands around the back of his head, looking like he was eating melon while cheering. Bai Tingting was also covering her mouth and laughing softly, winking at Cao Aiqing.
Cao Aiqing broke away from He Tianran's arms in an instant. She smoothed her long hair on the temples and walked to her best friend. Bai Tingting laughed a little, looked at her and then at He Tianran. Cao Aiqing pulled her away angrily. The best friend left, and just like that, the two girls walked slowly, step by step, towards the crowd leaving the Ferris wheel.
"Where are you going?"
He Tianran behind him shouted.
"Balloon!"
Cao Aiqing turned his head and threw three words viciously, as if the girl was going to pick up the crooked air gun that had been calibrated by the black-hearted boss again, aim at He Tianran and fire a few shots.
After watching the two of them leave a distance, Xue Yong walked to He Tianran with a smile.
"Brother Tianran, there's no point in playing balloons. Let's go play VR. There's a horror game, and we can play it as a couple. It feels pretty exciting. Even if I call Tingting, she won't go."
"..."
He Tianran was really impressed by this douchebag. He glanced at this guy and said:
"Brother Xiaoyong, how are you doing?"
Xue Yong didn’t understand:
"Huh? What's going on?"
"What's going on between you and Bai Tingting?"
Xue Yong, who had always been carefree, actually looked a little shy on his face. He scratched his head:
"This... is our first date. We just... had a good time. What could happen?"
He Tianran was so angry.
"What the hell, are you going to let me off the hook at the critical moment? Brother Xiaoyong, you were not like this when you helped me pretend to be a ghost before!"
"No... Brother Tianran, when did I help you pretend to be a ghost... Oh, don't do it, I don't understand... You asked me to find another opportunity to have contact with Tingting. If we have contact again, there will be fun, there will be fun. Oh...oh, don't chase me and hit me..."
…
Hearing the sound of fighting behind them, Cao Aiqing and Bai Tingting, who were walking forward, turned their heads and looked at each other, then laughed.
"you……?"
Bai Tingting raised her eyebrows and asked playfully.
"Shh~"
The two girls seemed to be discussing something bad. Cao Aiqing quickly put her index finger to her lips to prevent her from continuing.
"Hello~"
Seeing her best friend's cute and alarming expression, Bai Tingting couldn't suppress the snicker on her lips and turned her head away.
