Chapter 156: Marriage Proposal
After the beginning of spring, the wind is noticeably less hard, the low temperatures are slowly rising, and the snow that has accumulated in the corners of the city is shrinking little by little.
Since the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it has been sunny.
After the first day of the new year, the excitement of the Spring Festival has basically passed, and the rest of the festival is reserved for children.
On the night of the third day of junior high school, Si Huayue did not arrange for herself to be on duty, because she was going to Li Xiang's appointment.
The date time is set at nine o'clock in the evening, which is what Li Xiang said when he talked to Si Huayue on the phone on the first night of the new year.
On the phone, Li Xiang did not say the specific location of the date, only said that he would send her the location when the time came.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, he called Si Huayue again to confirm.
When he learned that Si Huayue agreed to go to the appointment, he told her not to ride a heavy plane, it was too dazzling, and he didn't want anyone to find out about him.
At the same time, he told her that he would return to Canglin Temple at ten o'clock that night.
In other words, the meeting time between the two of them is only one hour, and if Si Huayue can't find him, then this date between them will be automatically canceled.
If there were only three or five minutes left when they found him, they would never have been able to say more than ten words.
Si Huayue scolded her mother, she really wanted to break the contract and couldn't go, but after thinking about it, she still suppressed her temper and took a taxi to find the location he sent.
The taxi driver zoomed in on the location and said in confusion: this location doesn't look like it's on land.
Sure enough, the driver unloaded her at the Mingang North Wharf.
Si Huayue was a little dumbfounded, and after a long time, Li Xiang and her date were on the sea.
Because he didn't know that this would be the case in advance, Si Huayue was dressed a little thinly, and after getting out of the car, he was blown by the icy sea breeze, and couldn't help but shiver.
Take out your phone and zoom in on the map, which is five nautical miles.
After the North Wharf enters the late autumn, there are few boats moored here, and now it is in time for the New Year, and it is at night, where to find a boat? Is it difficult to swim over?
When she swam to the location on her mobile phone, it is estimated that she will become Rose in "Titanic", but in the story, the male protagonist Jack froze to death in the sea, and she became the female protagonist burp.
picked up his mobile phone and called Li Xiang, wanting to tell him that he couldn't pass without a boat and was going home.
The phone went through but no one answered, and just as Si Huayue was hesitating whether to go back, the sound of a motorboat engine sounded on the silent sea.
Judging from the direction from which the voice came, it was coming towards her.
As the distance closes, a familiar figure can be vaguely seen sitting on a motorboat.
Slow down, hit the steering wheel on the left, and the hull rubs against the embankment with a loud sound.
"Come up. The engine did not turn off, the hull of the ship moved back a little under the impetus of the waves, and the sea water at the bottom of the ship made a loud and clattering sound.
Si Huayue jumped lightly, slid behind Li Xiang, and naturally wrapped his hands around his muscular waist.
The muscles in Li Xiang's waist tightened, and Si Huayue also felt a little uncomfortable, the two of them were too close to each other, almost with their chests against their backs.
But the jet ski is so big, there is not enough space to distance the two of them.
After accelerating, the bow of the motorboat was raised, and the two bodies leaning back closer and closer together.
The wind driven by the speeding motorboat was too strong, the sea water splashed, and Si Huayue's short ear-length hair was blown apart by the sea breeze.
She tilted her head and leaned her cheek against Li Xiang's back, only to realize that his shoulders were thicker than those of ordinary men.
Li Xiang was wearing goggles, and Si Huayue's hands around his waist could feel his breathing a little rapid.
Ten minutes later, Li Xiang took Si Huayue to a yacht anchored in the middle of the sea.
There is only one wind lantern on the yacht, and if you look at it from a distance, you will mistake it for the light and shadow reflected by the sea.
Seeing Li Xiang's skillful and skillful use of the motorboat to fix the motorboat with the yacht, Si Huayue was a little skeptical that he usually traveled by boat.
He brushed his hair and rubbed his frozen hands. After Li Xiang jumped on the yacht, Si Huayue asked, "What's the matter with me?
"Is it cold, let's go to the cabin and talk. Li Xiang didn't answer Si Huayue's question, untied the keychain on his belt, opened the hatch, and led Si Huayue in.
The air conditioner inside should have been turned off for a while, and the temperature in the cabin was quite high.
After entering, Li Xiang took off his coat and started the yacht, the bulkhead light turned on, and the air conditioner restarted.
Si Huayue wore a black motorcycle leather jacket on his upper body, loose sweatpants on his lower body, and sneakers on his feet.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin was too large, and she took off her leather jacket, which was a white sweatshirt with a hood.
"When did you join the army? Why did you run to Canglin Temple to become a monk again?
Li Xiang poured her a cup of coffee and poured himself a glass of white water.
dragged out a small Mazha from the cabin and sat opposite Si Huayue, looked up at her and said: "I returned to China at the age of sixteen to intern at the Academy of Social Sciences for two years, and I joined the army at the age of eighteen until now. ”
Taking a sip of hot white water, he continued, "I told you that day in prison that I am not a monk. ”
Li Xiang was dressed in military camouflage, and he didn't look much different from before, but he still didn't dare to look directly into Si Huayue's eyes, didn't dare to speak loudly, and was shy like a girl.
His hair hasn't been shaved, maybe he will shave it when he goes back this time, right? Si Huayue secretly thought in his heart, and at the same time felt a little regretful.
The light in the room was too dim, and Si Huayue dragged the chair to Li Xiang's position, wanting to look into his eyes.
Li Xiang leaned back crampedly, probably thinking that Si Huayue was going to hug him like he was in prison again.
"I'm a nerd! I've been abroad. Si Huayue leaned back in her chair and distanced herself from him. "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
"I don't know how long it will take to come back after leaving this time, and maybe never to...... Can't ......" Li Xiang said two in a row.
Si Huayue vaguely felt that what he was talking about could not be related to marriage, maybe it was related to his future life, or maybe he couldn't come back.
Otherwise, he couldn't have come to her late at night.
Lichun left that day, and left without even saying anything else. This time it was so mysterious, I'm afraid it was because he was afraid that his superiors would know about it.
"Can you speak smartly? Don't let me guess what you didn't mean like a riddle. Si Huayue was a little impatient.
"I'm ......" Li Xiang took another sip of water and put the water cup on the ground.
Plucked up his courage and said, "Huayue, I, I like you, I want to marry you, can you marry me?" I will spoil you like Snow White and not let you do any housework. ”
"Hmm...... In the future, we will have children, you just have to give birth, and I will take them, okay, okay?"
This remark made Li Xiang blush, and after he finished speaking, he looked up at Si Huayue with hope.
In order to let Si Huayue know his determination, he hurriedly added: "If you agree, I will change my eating habits to be the same as you from tonight onwards, and I will never eat vegan again." All right...... Huayue?"
Si Huayue didn't expect that he would ask himself to go on a date on the sea far from the land late at night, just to talk about it.
She always thought that the relationship between the two of them had been made clear on the day of prison.
Besides, he went so resolutely, if he didn't come back this time, she would still treat him as a monk again.
She actually didn't dislike Li Xiang, although his life was a little boring.
But not being disgusted by feelings doesn't mean love, and he just said that he only likes her, not love.
"But...... The two of us, don't you think it's a bit early to discuss getting married and having children with the current relationship between the two of us?" Si Hua said happily, not only is it early, but it is also very strange.
"I, I know, I don't know how long this time away will be back. If you come back for another ten years like last time, how can you wait for me? I'm afraid you'll fall in love and marry another man, and you won't want me. After all, your mother is so anxious for you to get married. ”
In the end, Li Xiang lowered his head, "If you agree to register your marriage with me now, I don't have to go back." ”
Si Huayue sorted out the meaning of Li Xiang's words, and finally understood the reason why he was so anxious to talk to her about this matter.
In less than an hour he was leaving, and he didn't know how long he would leave, and maybe his leader couldn't give him an exact time.
If it really comes for another ten years, Si Huayue, who is already 30 years old, will definitely not be able to wait for him.
He wants to get married first and fall in love later.
Si Huayue didn't want to carry out his love and marriage so hastily.
"Can you accept a second marriage?" asked Si Huayue.
"No!" Li Xiang replied without pause this time, "No matter who I marry, as long as I get the marriage certificate, I will be responsible to the end and will never divorce!"
Si Huayue shook his head and asked again: "Are you responsible for people, or are you responsible for that red book?"
Worthy of being a high-IQ person, he immediately understood what Si Huayue meant, "I...... If you can't, that's not fair to you. ”
"I don't care, as long as the person who marries me in the future truly loves me. Si Huayue said.
"I love you!" Li Xiang blurted out, and after speaking, he was embarrassed, but then looked up at Si Huayue and said, "I'm serious." ”
Si Huayue has always regarded Li Xiang as a good buddy, good friend, and good boss, and never thought that one day he would talk about marriage with him.
When she heard the words "I love you" come out of his mouth solemnly, she felt her heart pounding and even her breathing became difficult.
Li Xiang stood up, moved in front of Si Huayue, knelt on one knee, and took out a velvet box from his pocket.
"Hua Yue, I love you, will you marry me?" he said, he took Si Hua Yue's hand, kissed it, put the box in her palm, and held it together.
A beautiful man in a military uniform, and a man with the highest IQ in the world, kneeling on the ground to court, propose, and change to another woman, may have been moved to tears.
"Why me?" Si Huayue's expression was a little dazed.
"Originally, I thought I could let go, but in the eleven days I have been separated from you, I have dreamed of you almost every day. I know I really can't live without you. I have promised Aunt Chu that after the two of us get married in the future, I will join your family. ”
"Ah?!" Si Huayue was so shocked by his words that he didn't know how to answer.
