Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Oath (Finale)
A few days later, it was Xue Rin's birthday, and on the way to Xue's house, Xue Rin was driving, but in the afterglow, he felt that the person sitting in the passenger seat kept moving.
"What are you tossing about?"
"IβI've got a little messy hair. β
Yao Zhixia held a mobile phone in one hand to examine herself in the camera, and kept brushing her hair with the other.
"it! You're psychological. Xue Rin said helplessly.
Yao Zhixia put down the phone, thought about it, and immediately leaned down to rummage in the bag at his feet.
"What are you looking for?"
Yao Zhixia buried her head in digging for a long time, and finally straightened up, "I'll spray some perfume." β
Xue Rin shook his head, feeling crying and laughing, Yao Zhixia he knew had never been keen on dressing up, and she was very simple in her usual dress, today she not only carefully groomed from head to toe, but also rarely sprayed perfume, in the face of her intentions, Xue Rin was not good at complaining about anything.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Xue family's mansion, Xue Rin parked the car in the front yard, and before the two got out of the car, a boy ran out of the house quickly.
"He is ......" Yao Zhixia stared at the child, faintly expecting it in her heart.
Without thinking about it, the boy went straight to the co-pilot and pulled the co-pilot's door open.
"Yao Zhixia!
The boy happily threw himself into Yao Zhixia's arms and clutched her coat tightly, "I thought I would never see you again!"
Yao Zhixia hugged the boy in his arms and comforted: "How come! Haven't I come back? We have really grown a lot taller in Yuen Long in the past two years!"
Yuen Long broke free from his arms and stared at Yao Zhixia intently, he grabbed Yao Zhixia's hand tightly, desperately wanting to pull her out of the car, "Sister Zhixia, I'll take you to meet my parents." β
Yao Zhixia walked towards the door of the house, looked back, and saw Xue Rin standing next to the car with an iron face.
"Zhixia! You've got it! Yuen Long is dying!"
Qi Hang walked out of the house with a smile, and there was a kind-looking woman who came out with her, and the outline of the woman's facial features was extremely similar to Yuen Long.
"Hello Aunt Qi!" Yao Zhixia said respectfully.
Qi Hang took Yao Zhixia's hand and introduced with a smile: "Sister, she is the Yao Zhixia that your son has been talking about." β
The woman looked at Yao Zhixia meaningfully, "Hello, Zhixia, I can see you today, my son used to be very withdrawn, since he came back from Rin's two years ago, he suddenly became extraordinarily cheerful, at first I didn't understand what was going on, and then I asked my sister to find out that he knew a good sister-in-law." β
"It's all thanks to my good vision!"
Yao Zhixia shyly lowered his head and smiled, Xue Rin stepped forward, put his arm around Yao Zhixia's shoulders and said with a smile.
"That's right, not only do you have a good eye, but more importantly, you are still stalking!" Qi Hang quipped.
"Where's my dad?"
"A few of them are chatting in the study! I'll call them over, let's go inside!"
After Qi Hang finished speaking, he took the lead in entering the house, and Yao Zhixia, who followed behind, was led by Yuen Long with one hand and Xue Rin with the other.
"Huaiyuan, come down quickly! Arin is back!" Qi Hang shouted at the top of the stairs.
Yao Zhixia tensed her nerves and looked upstairs.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Xue Rin clenched Yao Zhixia's hand.
After a while, the footsteps of several people came from the second floor, Xue Huaiyuan lowered his head, and said while going down the stairs: "Rin, your aunt Qi said that you brought your girlfriend, you finally listened to your father!"
Everyone standing in the living room looked towards the stairs, but Xue Huaiyuan had just walked halfway but suddenly stopped, with a shocked expression on his face.
"What's wrong, Huaiyuan?" Qi Hang wondered.
Xue Huaiyuan froze in place, staring straight at Yao Zhixia who was standing beside Xue Rin.
As if seeing some clues, Xue Rin turned his head sideways to look at Yao Zhixia beside him, but found that she also looked surprised at this time.
A glimmer of joy flashed in Xue Huaiyuan's eyes, and then he laughed heartily: "It seems that I didn't let the wrong person with the flowers that day!"
The people present looked at each other, all of them were Xue Huaiyuan playing dumb riddles, only Yao Zhixia knew his words well and couldn't hide his smile.
"Rin, you're really slow, this girl should have brought her back a long time ago!" Xue Huaiyuan smiled and walked down the stairs.
Xue Rin glanced at Yao Zhixia, wondering in his heart what was going on between the two.
"Let's have dinner!" Let's talk while eating!" Xue Huaiyuan said.
----
A few hours later, the lively family banquet ended in laughter, and when Yao Zhixia and Xue Rin left Xue's house, they were repeatedly told by Xue Huaiyuan to hurry up and prepare for marriage, which made Yao Zhixia, who came to visit for the first time, panic.
"Yao Zhixia, how much else are you hiding from me? Who would have thought that you would have infiltrated the enemy silently a long time ago!" Xue Rin quipped.
The corners of Yao Zhixia's mouth turned up proudly, "I didn't deliberately hide it from you, I can only say that I have a deep relationship with my uncle! Who would have thought that we would want to buy flowers for the same person?"
"Hey, my dad and Aunt Qi like you so much, won't you want to be a blessing when you're at home in the future?"
Yao Zhixia frowned, "What?
"Yes, yes, I finally got you back, and I'm willing to provide you three times a day. β
The two were chatting, but Yao Zhixia found that the road they were taking was not the way home.
"Where are we going? Aren't we going home?"
"Take you to meet someone. β
Twenty minutes later, Xue Rin's car stopped at the door of a high-end apartment complex, and the security guard standing guard at the gate stepped forward to ask.
"Hello, are you a visitor, who are you looking for?"
"Building 1, 2101, said that Xue Rin came to him. β
"Wait a minute, I'll check. The security guard said and went back to the booth to make a call.
Within a minute, Xue Rin's car drove smoothly into the community, and after parking the car, Xue Rin pulled the stunned Yao Zhixia into the elevator.
"Don't we need to bring something? It's so late, won't it disturb people?" Yao Zhixia was a little apprehensive.
"I don't need them. β
When the elevator reached the 21st floor, Xue Rin pulled Yao Zhixia to the door of a house, he pressed the doorbell, and then looked at Yao Zhixia with a smile.
"It's coming!
A female voice came from inside the room, her tone was full of anxiety, Yao Zhixia instantly recognized the voice, she turned her head in surprise and looked at Xue Rin.
In the next second, the door in front of him was opened, and Yao Zhixia took a big step forward anxiously, and hugged the future person.
"Sister Zhixia, you're finally back...... I miss you to death......" Liu Piaopiao cried excitedly, tears of longing rolling down like beans.
Yao Zhixia hugged Liu Piaopiao tightly, and comforted while crying: "I'm back, Piaopiao, I will never leave again when I come back this time." β
Liu Piaopiao twitched and nodded, "Why are you so ruthless! It's been two years since you've been gone, and there has been no news, have you been doing well in the past two years?"
"I'm fine, Piaopiao, my dream has come true, I've been working as a translator for the past two years, I'm sorry, I haven't contacted you, I'm afraid that as soon as I contact you, I'll come back to you with a soft heart, but I know that you and Gong Yan will be happy together." β
Yao Zhixia said and looked at Gong Yan who was standing behind Liu Piaopiao.
Liu Piaopiao turned around and pulled Gong Yan to his side, and said happily: "Sister Zhixia, we are already engaged, just waiting for you to come back to our wedding!"
Gong Yan hugged Liu Piaopiao's shoulders and said, "When did you two secretly Chen Cang, recruit from the truth!"
Yao Zhixia and Xue Rin looked at each other tacitly, as if they were heaven at a glance.
----
After talking all night that night, the four of them agreed to meet again a few days later at the exhibition of Gong Yan's mother Yin Simiao, whose gallery is located in an art district in the city that young people love to visit, and there are countless cafes and art galleries with atmosphere.
When Xue Rin and Yao Zhixia walked into the gallery hand in hand, there were already many people looking at the paintings in the hall.
"Sister Zhixia!
Yao Zhixia turned her head and saw that Liu Piaopiao was waving to her excitedly, she tapped Xue Rin's hand with her fingers, and pulled him towards Liu Piaopiao and Gong Yan.
"Sister Zhixia, let me introduce you, this is Gong Yan's mother, Aunt Yin. β
Liu Piaopiao held Yin Simiao's arm, and the two were as close as mother and daughter.
"Call me Aunt Yin! It's time to call Mom!" Yin Simiao teased Liu Piaopiao and held her hand.
"Aunt Yin, hello, my name is Yao Zhixia. β
Yin Simiao laughed heartily and said: "Zhixia, hello, I always heard Piaopiao say that she can be with my family Yanyan, thanks to you, but my godson has nothing to do, so I only brought you to see me today." β
Xue Rin pursed his lips, "Godmother, it's also difficult for me to my son, I took a lot of effort to coax her to see you, don't wronged me." β
Yin Simiao smiled even deeper, "If you can be with your beloved, your godmother will be relieved." β
After talking to Xue Rin, Yin Simiao stepped forward and said to Yao Zhixia: "Zhixia, I heard Piaopiao say that you are a translator, and I have a friend who is an art dealer who also came to cheer me on today, she said that she needs a translator to follow her to buy paintings abroad, are you interested? If you are interested, I will take you to meet?"
Yao Zhixia turned his head to look at Xue Rin beside him, intending to ask for his opinion.
"Male or female?" Xue Rin asked.
Yin Simiao shook her head helplessly, "Of course it's a woman!
"Then please ask your friend to take care of my family. Xue Rin immediately bowed respectfully.
----
A few women went to talk about business, and Xue Rin and Gong Yan wandered around the gallery.
"The front area is my mother's work two years ago, it is the series of works inspired by Planet Destination, do you remember, at that time I originally wanted to recommend you and Lin Qingyu to go on a date with Planet Destination, who knows...... Hey, it's really a trick!"
Xue Rin snorted lightly, and also felt that fate was unpredictable.
As he walked, Xue Rin stopped, staring at a very small painting in the corner for a long time.
In the painting, a pair of men and women are leaning against each other, looking up at the night sky overhead, as if a pair of silver-white wings have stretched out on their backs as if they have been integrated, exuding a holy radiance.
Somewhere soft in Xue Rin's heart was struck hard by this painting, and his pupils flashed with imperceptible emotion, he turned his head and searched for Yao Zhixia's figure in the crowd in the distance.
Seeing Yao Zhixia happily talking to others, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
"Hey, Xue Rin! Look who that is!"
Xue Rin, who was immersed in happiness, was suddenly woken up, he followed Gong Yan's gaze and looked behind him, only to see a woman with a slender back holding a tall brown-haired man leisurely looking at the painting, and the two were still talking and laughing about something.
"It's not ......"
"Huh, why does the foreigner standing next to Lin Qingyu look so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere?" Gong Yan touched his chin and thought hard.
Xue Rin laughed and said, "This book, the action is really fast!"
----
In the evening, the two drove home, Xue Rin had been silent all the way, Yao Zhixia was a little uncomfortable, he had always been a person who would babble non-stop when the two were alone.
"Xue Rin, what's wrong?" Yao Zhixia couldn't help but speak.
"Nothing. Xue Rin replied lightly.
"Oh. Yao Zhixia knew that he had something on his mind, but she also knew his temper, if he didn't take the initiative to say, she wouldn't ask.
The car was silent for a long time, and Yao Zhixia could only hear the sound of air conditioning and warm air in his ears.
"Let's go to the beach!"
Yao Zhixia stared at Xue Rin's side face, and unconsciously became nervous, the word "seaside" seemed to be a secret word exclusive to the two of them, making her can't help but remember what the two of them had experienced at the beach.
The port was quiet tonight, and Xue Rin pulled Yao Zhixia to stroll along the coastline on the beach.
Seeing that Xue Rin kept his head down and didn't say a word for a long time, Yao Zhixia's heart beat faster.
"Xue Rin......"
When Yao Zhixia was nervous, she would unconsciously call Xue Rin's name, and these two words would be like a Dinghai Divine Needle to her, which would make her feel at ease.
Xue Rin suddenly stopped, he took a deep breath, let go of Yao Zhixia's hand, and walked directly opposite Yao Zhixia with a turn.
Before Yao Zhixia could react, Xue Rin knelt on one knee, he panicked and took out a small white box from the pocket of his windbreaker, and opened the small box with trembling hands.
"Yao Zhixia, there are some things I wanted to say to you two years ago, since I was a child, I have been living a life of fine clothes and food, and I can easily get anything I want, but after the shipwreck two years ago, although I have everything again, but without you by my side, I really have a bad life, I even fantasized countless times that we are back on the island that only belongs to the two of us, whether it is starving, injured and bleeding, poisoned, as long as I can spend it with you, I am willing, today I want an answer from you, are you willing to accompany me to risk a lifetime." οΌβ
Yao Zhixia trembled and nodded again and again, "I am willing! I am willing! No matter where you go in the future, I will rely on you!"
A big smile bloomed on Xue Rin's face, and he motioned with his eyes to Yao Zhixia to look at the box in his hand.
"Thisβthis is ......" Yao Zhixia looked at a pair of gold rings in the box in shock.
"I've kept this male ring you gave me, but I feel a little lonely that it stays in the box by itself, so when I go back to the island to pick up Puffy and Timon Tin, I bring back the female ring we left in the hole, if you don't dislike it......"
"Of course I don't dislike it!" Yao Zhixia interrupted him in a loud voice.
Xue Rin smiled with satisfaction, "Give me your hand!"
Yao Zhixia reached out to Xue Rin and watched him put the gold ring on his ring finger.
"Now you will wear it for me!" Seeing Yao Zhixia staring at the ring and smirking, Xue Rin couldn't help but remind her.
"Oh!good!" Yao Zhixia hurriedly took out the other ring in the box and carefully put it on Xue Rin's ring finger.
As soon as he put the ring on, Xue Rin got up and hugged Yao Zhixia into his arms and kissed her hair gently.
It was getting dark, and the sea level in the distance was completely submerged in darkness, but Xue Rin and Yao Zhixia were still sitting on the beach and refused to leave.
Yao Zhixia leaned on Xue Rin's arms and was wrapped in a windbreaker by him.
"Yao Zhixia, do you remember the night we watched the meteor on the island?"
Yao Zhixia nodded, "Of course I remember, you were so excited and happy!"
"You asked me what I had made when I was a child for a shooting star, and I didn't tell you because I was afraid that if I said it, it wouldn't work. β
Yao Zhixia straightened up when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Then, can you say it now?"
Xue Rin stretched out a finger and scratched Yao Zhixia's nose, "That wish has come true today." β
Yao Zhixia was puzzled for a moment, and then suddenly reacted, she pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't ask.
Xue Rin pressed Yao Zhixia into his arms again, afraid that the sea breeze would blow to her.
"Yao Zhixia, you said that you used to be so timid and cringe, why did I like you? I remember the first time I saw you on the boat, right? You didn't speak all the time, who knew that it was you who saved my life later. β
Yao Zhixia didn't respond, but seemed to be recalling something.
"What do you think?"
"Xue Rin, do you remember two years ago, when you invited your friends to drink at KTV, a waiter spilled wine on you?"
Xue Rin was dumbfounded when he heard this, he unconsciously grabbed Yao Zhixia's arm, "That waiter, is that you?"
Yao Zhixia grinned and nodded, but Xue Rin's face suddenly changed, and he raised a hand and slapped his forehead fiercely.
"Oh my God! I was ......."
Yao Zhixia turned around and hugged Xue Rin, "Actually, I have always been very grateful for our encounter, otherwise, how could we be today?"
Xue Rin sighed, only to feel that creation made people.
The person in his arms exuded warmth, Xue Rin leaned into Yao Zhixia's ear and whispered in the sound of the waves: "Yao Zhixia, I love you." β
