Chapter 14: Marriage Proposal (1)
Mu Yi took her back to her home first, although Lin Yansheng had been running around for a long time, she didn't look tired at all, she opened her suitcase and packed her luggage, her face was still full of happiness.
Mu Yi sat on the side and looked at her, seeing that she was happy, he was also happy in his heart, the bitter thoughts of the past two months seemed to disappear in his heart, as if he had not been separated from Lin Yansheng for these two months.
Lin Yansheng was almost cleaned up, so he planned to take a shower and then go home to see his parents. Mu Yi hurriedly said, "Your parents are at my house, I'll take you to my house later." ”
"Why are they at your house?" Lin Yansheng looked at him in surprise.
"My dad said he was going to invite them to dinner, and it should have been here. Mu Yi touched his chin and said.
"Okay, then you wait for me, I'll be quick. Lin Yansheng held clean clothes in his hand, turned around and went into the bathroom.
Mu Yi mysteriously took out his mobile phone, knocked on it cracklingly, and then looked at the bathroom door and laughed.
Lin Yansheng was really fast, and when she walked out with her wet hair, Mu Yi was stunned for a moment.
His ears instantly turned red, and a wave of heat rose up his cheeks. He hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to slide his phone, not wanting Lin Yansheng to see his flustered appearance.
"Wait, I'll blow dry my hair, and we'll go. Lin Yansheng sat down in front of the dresser, dried his hair with a towel, and began to blow his hair.
Mu Yi lay on the bed, looked at her sideways, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help grinning.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yansheng asked puzzled when he saw him smiling in the mirror.
"I'm glad to see you're back. Mu Yi said, laughing twice. Lin Yansheng smiled at him, he hadn't seen him for two months, he seemed to have changed a little, but this change was vague, but he couldn't tell it.
After drying her hair, she wanted to call her parents and brother, but was stopped by Mu Yi.
"Won't you be able to see them when you get home?" he said, pulling Lin Yansheng's arm to let her get into the car, and galloping all the way home.
Although it was the depths of winter, the weather was particularly good today, the sky was cloudless, and the blue ones seemed to be overflowing.
The sun hung lazily in the air, spreading its warm rays everywhere in the world. After getting out of the car, Lin Yansheng stood in the sun for a while, greedily absorbing the warmth in the sun, waiting for Mu Yi to take the gift she brought back from the trunk.
The two walked to the door one after the other, and Mu Yi raised his hand to ring the doorbell.
"Are you back?" Aunt He opened the door, and a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but she was still smiling and very kind.
"Hello Aunt He. Lin Yansheng asked with a smile.
"Yan Sheng is here?" Aunt He glanced at Lin Yansheng and then at Mu Yi, her eyes were mysterious, and she seemed to have reached some consensus with him at such an instant.
But Lin Yansheng didn't see the colors they used to make each other, she went straight to the door, looking for her parents in the living room, but she didn't even see the shadow of her parents' hair, and couldn't help but look back at Mu Yi suspiciously.
"Upstairs. Mu Yi smiled, took her hand, and walked upstairs. Lin Yansheng had been to Mu Yi's house several times, but rarely went upstairs to his house, so he was not clear about the distribution and structure of the rooms upstairs.
She was taken to a door by Mu Yi in a daze, and Mu Yi smiled: "You open the door." ”
"Huh?" Lin Yansheng felt that something was wrong at this time, and she sensed something sensitively. But Mu Yi smiled gently, and nothing could be seen from his expression.
She hesitantly stretched out her hand, and a second before pushing the door open, she glanced at Mu Yi suspiciously.
"Open the door. Mu Yi said, smiling more and more gently. Lin Yansheng pushed open the door, almost at the same time, something covered her head, blocking her vision, Lin Yansheng felt flustered, she hurriedly wanted to remove the cloth on her head, but before she could catch the corner of the cloth, the cloth had been taken down.
She saw Mu Yi half-kneeling in front of her, holding a ring in his hand, looking at her expectantly. Behind him, Mu Yukai and his wife were standing, looking at her with the same expectation.
Other than that, there was no one else, and she didn't see the shadow of her parents.
"This is?" she looked at Mu Yi suspiciously, and then at Mu Yukai and his wife.
"Yan Sheng, marry me. Mu Yi said, the expectation in his eyes was even stronger. Lin Yansheng was caught off guard and couldn't react for a while.
After a long while, she realized that Mu Yi was proposing to herself, but how long had it been since they got engaged, why did she suddenly want to get married on a whim?
"Didn't I promise you?" she said with a daze, recalling the first time Mu Yi proposed to her.
"That's an engagement, it's a marriage, it's not the same. I want you to marry me, and we will be a harmonious couple like my parents. Mu Yi smiled and glanced back at his parents.
Mu Yukai and Yu Qinling looked at their son with satisfaction, and looked at Lin Yansheng expectantly. Lin Yansheng felt very sudden, and this kind of suddenness made her heart feel a little unhappy.
She even felt a hint of forced marriage. Mu Yi hadn't discussed it with him before, he arrogantly arranged this marriage proposal, but he didn't take into account his feelings.
So, do I want to marry him? Lin Yansheng thought to herself, she suddenly felt a little contradictory, of course she would marry him, but as she said before, it was not now, nor in the near future.
She has arranged her life very clearly, what to do at each stage and why she should work hard, she has thought carefully about it, and she does not allow anyone to disrupt her plan, which she cannot tolerate.
But now that it had come to this, was she going to refuse him? His parents were standing behind him, looking at her expectantly as he was, and could she say no?
Maybe she could tell him what she thought in front of Mu Yi, but could she tell the two old men in front of her?
They are the people of the older generation, and no matter what, they will definitely not accept their own ideas, they will say: "Yan Sheng, people should get married and have children when they reach the age, you have already arrived, and you have all exceeded." In that case, she could almost imagine the expressions on their faces when they said this.
If she refuses at this moment, they will be angry and complain, which conflicts with Lin Yansheng's principles and standards of life, she doesn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable and unhappy because of herself.
Do you want to wronged yourself and promise them? Lin Yansheng thought to himself, no, she can't do it, she doesn't want to step into the circle of marriage so quickly, she still has a lot of things to do, there are still many places to go, this kind of freedom is not given to her by marriage.
She stared blankly at Mu Yi, who was still looking at her expectantly, even though two minutes had passed.
"Yan Sheng, will you marry me?" Mu Yi asked again, his gaze gradually becoming lost, trying to get Lin Yansheng to answer quickly.
Lin Yansheng looked at him, then at the two old men behind him, and finally, nodded. Mu Yi jumped up from the ground excitedly, he gently held one of Lin Yansheng's hands, and put the ring that sparkled with beautiful light on her ring finger, and on the ring finger of her other hand, he wore the ring he had when he first proposed to her.
The two rings were like two rings, holding them together tightly.
"Oops. Mu Yukai and his wife glanced at each other with a smile and said,
"It's been one of the best things of the year. They discussed that they would immediately choose an auspicious day so that Lin Yansheng could pass the door early.
Lin Yansheng stood at the door, motionless, listening to their discussion, her mind was blank, and she hadn't reacted yet.
"Yan Sheng?" Mu Yi called her, she turned her head to look at him, but there was no joy in her eyes,
"I have a gift for you. Mu Yi said mysteriously, he searched for it in his wide pocket, took out a red book, and handed it to Lin Yansheng,
"I bought a small courtyard, which has been almost renovated, and in the future it will be your studio, which is very big, and you can dance and paint in it. Lin Yansheng glanced down at the small notebook, but she didn't take it, she turned her head to look at Mu Yukai and his wife, who were still discussing enthusiastically, smiled reluctantly, and turned around and walked outside.
"Hey. Mu Yi hurriedly chased after him, he walked next to Lin Yansheng, slightly half a step ahead of her, and asked,
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Lin Yansheng didn't want to argue with him here, and didn't want Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu to hear it, so she quickened her pace and walked downstairs.
Mu Yi looked at her face, and it was clear that it was not
With a "nothing" expression, he frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"My parents aren't here, are they?" she asked, not answering Mu Yi's question.
"No, I don't. Mu Yi said, smiling embarrassedly,
"I lied to you about this, I apologize to you, I mainly want you to come to my house, I-" Lin Yansheng glanced at him, his eyes were a little cold, he felt that proposing to him in front of his parents, no matter who could refuse this kind of request, right?
She didn't speak, she didn't finish listening to him, she jumped down two steps in one step, opened the door and walked out.
"I'll send you back. Mu Yi said, walking to the car parked on the side.
"No, I'll walk by myself, just enough to breathe. Lin Yansheng said coldly, Mu Yi thought for a moment that Lin Yansheng was being taken up by Lin Yanhuan, and the two of them suddenly became extremely similar at this moment.
"Yan Sheng. Mu Yi finally sensed that something was wrong, he stuffed the little notebook back into his pocket, stepped forward to take her hand, and asked,
"Are you angry?"
"Nope. Lin Yansheng was still cold, and there was no trace of warmth in his tone. Mu Yi glanced back at Aunt He, who was standing at the door and looking at them curiously, and couldn't help lowering her voice and asking, "What's the matter, I proposed to you, aren't you happy?"
"It's a pleasure. Lin Yansheng said, her pace did not slow down because of Mu Yi's pull, but walked faster.
"Then what's wrong with you?" Mu Yi frowned,
"I'm not stupid, I can see you're angry. ”
"Nope. Lin Yansheng sneered,
"Since you don't care about my feelings, it doesn't matter if I'm angry or not. ”
"Yan Sheng. Mu Yi increased his strength, and under his pull, Lin Yansheng finally stopped, but her expression was still cold, and her eyes were still annoyed.
"What the hell is going on?" he asked, feeling a little inexplicable.
"I don't want to talk right now, I just want to go home and you let me go. Lin Yansheng said, struggling hard.
"If you don't say it, I won't let it go. Mu Yi's stubbornness also came up, he stared at Lin Yansheng, and his breathing became a little short.
Lin Yan was extremely angry, she looked up at him, there was never a moment that could make her more angry at this moment, but the more angry she was, the more she couldn't speak, she was not very good at verbal warfare.
"You say. Mu Yi urged,
"You're always angry and don't tell me anything, and I don't know what you're angry about, I can't guess, and I always guess wrong. Didn't you promise me that you would tell me anything in the future? What are you sulking all of a sudden?"
"I'm sulking?" Lin Yansheng felt a little ridiculous,
"You propose to me, why don't you discuss it with me?"
"Isn't there no surprise if the marriage proposal is to be discussed?" Mu Yi revealed
"What the hell is going on in your head" emoji. Lin Yansheng glanced at him seriously, knowing that he didn't understand what he said, but she didn't want to say a word, after a long journey, she was very tired, she just wanted to go home to meet her parents, take a good rest, and didn't want to bother with these quarrels.
"I'm going home, you let me go. She said again, her tone becoming more resolute.
"If you don't say it, I won't let you go. Mu Yi was even more stubborn.
"You proposed, I promised you, what are you still pulling me for?" Lin Yansheng was angry and helpless.
Mu Yi thought to himself, this is also right, Yan Sheng has already promised himself, but at the same time she is also angry, and he doesn't know what she is angry about, before he understands this reason, he doesn't want to let her leave easily, otherwise the two of them will have to fight coldly for several days, and he will definitely not be able to stand the cold.
"Tell me why you're angry. Mu Yi said, looking down at her face. Lin Yansheng didn't speak again, she took out her mobile phone and called Lin Yanhuan and asked him to pick her up.
Then he put away his phone and said coldly: "Then let's just consume it like this." Mu Yi thought to himself, it is better to consume than if you go home and snub me, so he acquiesced to this way, the two of them stood in the sun, and the atmosphere and expression looked very weird.
After about half an hour, Lin Yansheng's legs were a little sore, and he finally saw Lin Yanhuan's figure appear on the trail in the distance.
There was still no expression on his face, but his eyes were deeper, and he couldn't see what was inside more clearly than before.
"Yan Huan!" Lin Yansheng raised his hand and waved at him. Lin Yanhuan walked on two long legs, and quickly walked up to them, looked at Mu Yi's hand holding Lin Yansheng's wrist tightly, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"
"I want to go home and let you pick me up. Lin Yansheng said, struggling again. Lin Yanhuan suddenly understood that the two of them were quarrelling.
But looking at Mu Yi's stubborn expression, it was clear that he didn't want Lin Yansheng to go back easily, he saw Lin Yanhuan coming, put his face to the side, and didn't look at Lin Yanhuan.
"You let go. Lin Yanhuan said coldly, he didn't plan to be polite to Mu Yi. Mu Yi didn't speak, but increased his strength, and Lin Yansheng, who was pinching, gasped.
"It hurts!" she said, squeezing Mu Yi's hand with all her might. Mu Yi was stunned, and when she was about to let go, she was afraid that she would just leave, so she began to hesitate and sway in her heart.
Lin Yanhuan no longer waited for Mu Yi to speak, he stretched out his hand, broke Mu Yi's fingers in three or two clicks, and rescued his sister's wrist.
He grabbed Lin Yansheng's arm and said coldly to Mu Yi: "Let me see you bullying my sister like this in the future, you just wait to be beaten." Mu Yi saw that their sister and brother turned around to leave, and hurriedly shouted, "No!" He ran to the two of them to block the way, and said to Lin Yanhuan,
"It's not that I'm bullying your sister, I'm—" He paused, as if thinking about what words to use, because he himself felt that the act of having to drag Lin Yansheng to stand under the sun was ridiculous for this reason.
Lin Yanhuan glanced at him, the corners of his mouth moved, but he never said anything. He stretched out a hand and hung it on Mu Yi's shoulder, but without making a move, he took it back again.
Mu Yi looked at him puzzled, feeling that Lin Yanhuan was also a little inexplicable. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and compared to the last time they met, something in Lin Yanhuan seemed to have changed.
"Let's go, sister. Lin Yanhuan was still holding Lin Yansheng's arm, and the two of them crossed Mu Yi and walked forward.
Mu Yi frowned, turned his head to look at their figures, and his emotions were a little complicated. Obviously, Lin Yansheng had already agreed to his marriage proposal, which was something that should have been very happy, why did he feel very uncomfortable now?
When he returned home, his parents had already discussed the day, and they were discussing the details together.
When they saw Mu Yi coming in, they hurriedly talked to him and asked for his opinion, but Mu Yi didn't have the heart to listen, so he went upstairs.
Lin Yansheng walked out of the community, and his tense body relaxed. She sighed, pulled her arm out of her brother's hand, and looked sullenly at the path in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yanhuan was of course aware of her emotions, he opened the car door, let his sister sit in, and asked.
Lin Yansheng didn't know what to tell her brother, she sighed again, fastened her seat belt, and then said slowly: "Mu Yi proposed to me." ”
"Didn't he ask you?" Lin Yanhuan didn't seem to care about this sentence, he started the car, turned the steering wheel and drove towards the road.
"He's going to marry me. Lin Yansheng said, she stretched out her right thumb and index finger, pinched the bridge of her nose in the middle of her eyes, and felt a little tired.
"You've been together for so long, and it's normal for you to get married. Lin Yanhuan said, turning his head and glancing at his sister,
"But why do you look unhappy?"
"It's out of my plans. Lin Yansheng said,
"I don't have any plans to get married at the moment, and I still have a lot of things to do. ”
"Then reject him. Lin Yanhuan is very decisive.
"When he proposed to me, Uncle Mu and Aunt Yu were standing behind him, and I couldn't refuse. Lin Yanhuan's index finger tapped on the steering wheel, pursed his lips and didn't speak, and it took a long time before he said, "Then how did you do it?"
"I agreed. Lin Yansheng looked at the scenery speeding by outside the window, and felt even more bored in his heart.
"I hate it, I hate accidents. ”
"Life is full of accidents. Lin Yanhuan said thoughtfully, he seemed to remember something,
"You can't hide. ”
"You mean, I should obey Mu Yi and marry him in such a daze?" Lin Yansheng turned his head to look at his younger brother.
However, Lin Yanhuan's mind didn't know where to drift, the corners of his mouth curved out of an almost invisible arc, he was smiling, his eyes were also full of shallow pleasure, he didn't listen carefully to his sister's question, and he didn't answer.
Lin Yansheng was used to him like this, she continued to look at the scenery outside the window, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
