"Did this glass of sherry go to the wrong table?" Emily noticed the diamond ring, but her first reaction was to ask the waiter without any doubt.
Wait, this seems to be different from the expected reaction. Jay is a little panicked. So, what should we do now?
Jay glanced quickly, and then saw Logan, who was full of expectations but could not help, and Lu Ke, who kept giving encouragement with his winks. Only then did Jay react, quickly pushed away the chair, and knelt down on one knee. , took the diamond ring from Emily's hand, and showed an apologetic smile to the waiter, "This... this is ours..."
"Ahem. Important point." Lu Ke coughed and reminded vaguely.
Jay quickly turned his attention from the waiter back to Emily, "Dear Emily Puwo..." Because things were so hasty and chaotic, Jay was also a little confused now. I had to take a deep breath to clear my mind again.
"I know that I am not a perfect partner; I also know that there are still many problems between us that need to be solved; and I also know that life will not be like a fairy tale where the prince and princess get together and have a perfect ending. '...But I also know that your existence lights up my world and guides me step by step towards a brighter future. This is enough; I hope that my existence can also light up your world and let We both become better versions of ourselves. Emily Purvo, please, will you marry me?"
Simple and unpretentious words, but full of the best and most touching wishes deep in Jay's heart, lighting up a dim light in the dark night, forming a small part of the lights of thousands of houses, guiding the tired and tired people. When a confused soul finds its way home, that is the most perfect confession.
Even as bystanders, Lu Ke and Logan could feel the sincerity and warmth at this time. They couldn't help but get excited due to lack of time to brew. Their eyes fell on Emily, waiting for the heroine's response.
Emily obviously didn't expect such an accident. She just stared at Jay blankly. She couldn't help but open her mouth slightly. Her face was full of shock and she couldn't react. She seemed to be frozen into a statue. There was no sound, so that the scene suddenly fell silent.
Logan blinked, secretly cast a questioning look at Lu Ke, and mouthed, "Rejected?" That was too pitiful, it was like a large car accident scene.
Lu Ke rolled his eyes speechlessly and ignored it. He just glanced at Jay and Emily again and continued to wait for the follow-up development.
"Emily?" Jay was also a little worried, and his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he still suppressed his worry and raised his voice to call again to remind him.
Emily finally came to her senses at this time and nodded in agreement, "Of course! I mean, I am willing, of course I am willing!" Her expression also showed excitement, and you could feel the emotions surging in her heart, reaching out He raised his finger and asked Jay to put the ring on his ring finger, completing the last step of the proposal.
"Yeah! It worked!" Logan stood up first and clapped vigorously. His expression was even more moved than the two parties involved, but secretly, he winked at Lu Ke and seemed to be saying, "Why? So, my acting skills are good, right?"
This made Lu Ke couldn't help but burst into laughter, and stood up together. At the same time, the waiters in the restaurant and other guests around them all gave applause and blessings. The faint touch was like It has spread, and at this moment, everyone can feel the little happiness in life.
With Logan taking the lead in cheering, Jay and Emily also kissed on the spot, bringing an end to this simple but touching proposal ceremony.
The hustle and bustle around them gradually calmed down, and everyone sat down again to continue eating. However, the sweet smell of happiness was still permeated in the air, making people aware that happiness was spreading.
Only then did Emily come back to her senses, "So, this is what you have been planning for the past two weeks?"
Jay couldn't help scratching his head again, "Yes, but according to the original plan, there should be flowers, candles and cakes. I even prepared a song, but something happened a little unexpectedly, so it became like this It’s so shabby.” Obviously, Jay had more than just scheduled activities.
"What accident?" Emily didn't know why.
Lu Ke stepped forward to save Jay, "That's another story. But I think we should be lucky, Emily, have you ever heard Jay sing?"
Lu Ke and Logan exchanged glances, and then both laughed.
"Hey, shut up! You two! Shut up!" Jay noticed something was wrong and tried to stop it, but it was too late.
Logan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "This is a legend from the time we lived together. No matter at any party, as long as it is played, it will become a climax." Logan found the track with a smile on his face, and when Jay grabbed it Disasters happened like this before.
Emily couldn't believe her ears. What was that tone-deaf howl? She couldn't identify the melody or the rhythm. She didn't know how to describe it. Look at Lu Ke and Logan who were already laughing. Look again. Seeing Jay covering his face and not daring to face the reality, "What is this? I mean, what on earth is this recording? I can't hear it clearly at all."
Lu Ke explained with a smile, "This is Jay's own rap, the theme is 'My Sacred Cheese', expressing his deep love for cheese. During that time, he was singing day and night I was revising the lyrics and looking forward to having my song break into the bulletin board. I was immersed in it even when I was taking a shower in the bathroom and started the concert directly." Because he was laughing so happily that his words were broken, Lu Ke I couldn't help but recall the beautiful life in college, but I finally expressed it completely.
Emily looked at Jay in disbelief, "...I think I need to reconsider the proposal now."
Hahaha!
Jay tried to explain, but found that Lu Ke and Logan didn't give him a chance at all, "I was drunk... I didn't perform well that time... I'm not that exaggerated... I just..." Every explanation was ignored. Two bad friends interrupted, which made Jay helpless. In the end, he could only give up on himself, "Well, I once dreamed of becoming a rapper."
"Hahahaha!" Lu Ke and Logan laughed even more happily. In order not to disturb other guests, they had to suppress their laughter. It was very hard to hold it in, but they started laughing more and more. Logan couldn't help but explain as the "icing on the cake", "When you live together in the future, if he goes to the bathroom, remember to bring earplugs, that is his stage, and he will often play freely, I mean, freely To the point of losing control.”
Even Emily couldn't help laughing.
Jay is hopeless. As expected, he couldn't trust those bad friends. His underwear was revealed in a matter of minutes. He almost forgot that he had countless secrets in the hands of these two guys.
"Change the subject...change the subject..." Jay could only use this stupid method to save himself.
But how could Lu Ke and Logan help? In the end, it was the new fiancée Emily who stepped in, "I forgot to express my gratitude. Now the playoffs have reached the most critical moment. The federation finals are coming this week. You even came out to help Jay. I finally believe you now." He’s Jay’s best friend.”
"Hey, Emily!" Jay protested.
Emily said with a smile, "He always said before that he was very close and familiar with you, but people in the industry didn't believe it. Every time there was news about Bambi, he couldn't get an exclusive, and even fell behind. After his death, the editor-in-chief complained about him, and the Los Angeles Times was already depressed. He was under a lot of pressure in the editorial department, and he suffered a lot."
Logan said harshly, "If Jay came here to spy on us for some exclusive news, Bambi and I probably wouldn't be here tonight."
This statement is somewhat straightforward, but if you understand it a little differently, the flavor will change. Originally, Logan wanted to make a little joke, saying that their friendship should not be maintained by exclusive news, and that work and life should still be separated; but Logan's words lacked details and only had edges, and people who are unfamiliar with them are often prone to misunderstandings. Misunderstand.
Sure enough, Emily then said, "But friends should help each other, right? Jay has been helping you cover up, what have you helped Jay with? You can't ask Jay to blindly Pay it forward?"
"I don't like hearing what you are saying. Why do you think our friendship is just a transaction..." Logan muttered without hesitation.
"Logan!" Seeing that the atmosphere was about to stiffen, Lu Ke stopped shouting. Logan did not say any more. Then Lu Ke showed a smile to Emily, "Business matters are business matters, private matters are private matters. I Guess Jay was trying to stick to his boundaries."
Jay noticed Lu Ke's gaze and quickly came to the rescue, "That's right, those things that can be said, Bambi and Logan told me in advance. This treatment is unique in the industry. As for those things that cannot be said, We all know what's going on, there's no need to explain anything." Jay waved his hand, trying to lighten the atmosphere and changed the subject, "How about it, after the game last night, did you party again?"
"Ha, no, no, everyone went back early last night. Seattle is not an easy opponent to deal with. We all need to be vigilant." Lu Ke said easily, "If you want to party, there is plenty of time after the season is over. No I'm in a hurry. By the way, in late February, we are going to go on vacation to the Caribbean. How about you, do you have a vacation? Let's go relax together."
Naturally, Lu Ke changed the topic, and the atmosphere became obviously relaxed. Logan didn't care and immediately actively joined the discussion, "Yes, we are encouraging Bambi to contract an entire island to give us a collective vacation. Party and enjoy our space and time alone.”
"Contracting the entire island? Oh, could it be that Bambi has signed a new endorsement? This is a real big deal." Jay immediately smelled the commercial atmosphere. This was big news.
