Before dawn, Gu Zhiyin carried Mu Ning up the last step.
The tourists they met on the way looked at them in disbelief.
This man actually climbed up.
There was a lot of talk, everyone was saying that he was great.
If you don't have a strong heart, strong perseverance and determination, you can't climb the 999 steps. And seeing this kind of spirit in a young man is really admirable.
To have such determination, he must love this girl very much...
Gu Zhiyin didn't look at anyone. He put Mu Ning on a stone, turned around and squatted in front of her.
Every time he took a breath, his lungs hurt like needles. He opened his thin lips and wanted to say something, but his throat was irritated by the cold air. He immediately lowered his head and coughed, "Ahem..."
He was coughing and panting, and the air was filled with white.
Mu Ning felt extremely distressed and quickly patted his back to calm him down, "Okay, okay, breathe slowly and wait until you recover."
After a while, Gu Zhiyin raised his slightly red eyes to look at her, "Ning Ning, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Mu Ning nodded.
He held her hand and whispered: "If you promise, you can't go back on it."
"Well, if you don't regret it, what is it?" Mu Ning tilted his head, looking mysterious.
"I have a request, are you willing to..."
He lowered his head, adjusted his breathing, and tried to use a calm and clear tone.
"I want you to marry me."
Everything was quiet all around, and a golden light broke out from the sky at this moment.
Gu Zhiyin saw her dull face. Was she too frightened to react, or was she unwilling?
This was his second proposal and he didn't want to do it a third time.
Mu Ning remained silent, he was a little flustered, "Ning Ning, you promised me not to go back on my word..."
"I didn't say I would regret it."
Gu Zhiyin's breathing was stagnant.
Mu Ning turned his head and looked away, pouting unhappily, "Although you tricked me last time, you still had the ring, but this time you don't have anything?"
After Gu Zhiyin was stunned for a moment, he laughed softly.
"Close your eyes."
Mu Ning glanced at him and closed his eyes obediently.
The fingers were pinched, and then a small, cold thing was put on them.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Finally we have waited for this moment, it is so beautiful!"
Mu Ning opened his eyes and saw a smooth, golden ring without any embellishment.
It's not gold, and you can't tell what material it is made of. The simple ring has a low-key metallic luster at the intersection of night and dawn.
People around were still shouting, "Look! The sun is coming out!"
At this time, golden light came out at dawn and sprinkled on the clouds.
The ray of morning sun slowly shone on the ring, suddenly emitting an even more dazzling golden light.
More dazzling than sunlight.
People on the observation deck were cheering and were shocked by the spectacular sight.
But Mu Ning kept staring at the ring on her finger, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
"Ning Ning..." A soft and hoarse voice sounded clearly amidst the noise.
Mu Ning raised his head, and Gu Zhiyin was looking at her. There was joy and uncertainty in his eyes. Was he afraid that she wouldn't like it?
Mu Ning wanted to tell Gu Zhiyin that she liked it, but at this time her eyes were wet and her heart was sore, and she couldn't say anything.
She simply held Gu Zhiyin's face and wanted to kiss him.
Gu Zhiyin turned her head and avoided it, "Don't kiss, it's dirty."
He sweated a lot while climbing the mountain, and even he felt disgusted, how could he let Ning Ning touch him.
Mu Ning slapped his face hard, not allowing him to hide, and stared at him with such stubborn eyes, "I have never disliked you, and you must not dislike yourself."
"I won't kiss you anymore if I hide anymore."
Mu Ning's fierce threats made Gu Zhiyin dare not move, and she pressed her lips against him without hesitation.
She kissed him fiercely on purpose, like a little tiger, and ordered him, "Close your eyes!"
Gu Zhiyin closed his eyes obediently.
Mu Ning stared at his increasingly darker eyebrows, and tears began to well up.
This man had waited for her for twelve years and had taken care of her for twelve years.
What was spent was not only time, but also his actions telling her the deep love he had buried in his heart.
Although time has not left too heavy marks on his face.
But Mu Ning clearly felt that his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier.
Time dissipates, his love is like this mountain, the sun and the moon change, eternal.
Mu Ning's tears fell more and more fiercely. Gu Zhiyin tasted a hint of salt and opened his eyes in surprise. Mu Ning reacted and immediately covered his eyes.
"Don't move, don't move! I haven't kissed you enough yet!"
Gu Zhiyin's eyelids trembled slightly under her palm. He stretched out his hand to clasp the back of Mu Ning's head and kissed her gently.
Mu Ning was comforted by his kiss.
Gu Zhiyin pinched her face and said, "You were wilder than anyone else when you were a child. Why do you still cry so much when you grow up?"
"Who loves to cry?" Mu Ning looked away embarrassedly.
Gu Zhiyin came closer to her, spoke in a low and hoarse voice beside her face, and said with a frivolous smile, "You, my little fiancée."
Mu Ning's cheeks suddenly felt like they were burning up, "You...you are getting up soon. Can your legs bear the pain after squatting for so long?"
Mu Ning quickly pulled him up and asked him to sit on the stone together, "Does your knee hurt?"
Gu Zhiyin stretched his legs back and said with a low smile: "It hurts."
Mu Ning pursed her lips, stretched out a small hand to cover his knees, and rubbed them gently.
Gu Zhiyin slightly raised the corners of his lips, his eyes shone brightly, and he stared at her lazily in the morning breeze.
Mu Ning lowered his head, his cheeks burning at his sight, "Gu Zhiyin, why are you laughing?"
"nothing."
He still couldn't stop laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Ning Ning insists on breaking the casserole and asking the truth?"
Mu Ning was tortured to death by his teasing look, "If you keep laughing, I will ignore you."
Gu Zhiyin smiled again, raised the back of his finger and touched her hot cheek, "The little crybaby still likes to blush."
"Gu Zhiyin, you old bastard! If you keep teasing me, I'll never stop teasing you!"
Mu Ning retracted his hand and turned around to see the golden sea of clouds, "It's all your fault, the sun is half out!"
Gu Zhiyin looked at her with bright eyes and smiled, "Who makes Ningning promise me so slowly?"
Is it her fault?
Mu Ning wanted to hit him, but Gu Zhiyin grabbed her hand and said, "Two more hits and the sun will hit your head."
Mu Ning stopped messing around with him and quickly took out his phone to take pictures.
She sat on the big rock, and Gu Zhiyin sat next to her, watching the sunrise with her.
Gu Zhiyin suddenly turned his head and flipped her hair away carelessly. He stared at Mu Ning's pretty side face. The sunlight fell in his eyes, which was particularly gentle.
I love you, my silly girl.
…
After watching the sunrise, they went to Qilan Temple to burn incense together.
Mu Ning looked at the prices of various incense, which seemed a bit outrageous.
"How about we just... say goodbye?"
Seeing her change of attitude, Gu Zhiyin asked, "Didn't you come to burn incense before?"
She coughed and said, "Sincerity leads to spiritual success."
"Ning Ning doesn't wish for anything anymore?"
"The wish has come true."
Gu Zhiyin was a little surprised. She smiled and shook the ring on her hand. Her wish was that Gu Zhiyin would propose to her.
Gu Zhiyin raised his eyebrows and smiled softly, "Then I'll buy it."
He asked the boss to bring him some incense.
