Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Late Ring
That night, I stayed up all night, not only regretting that I didn't give Zhao Lei a surprise, but also because there was no place for me to sleep...
They sleep restlessly, and when they sleep until midnight, they will clamoring for water to drink, and when feeding them water, they also have to worry about not being hit by their raised arms. Or Zhao Lei slept quietly, not noisy or noisy, and he could hold a sleeping position on the sofa until dawn the next day...
"Rui Rui... Well! What time is it. At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhao Lei finally opened his eyes.
"It's eight o'clock." I replied to him flatly, "Why did you drink so much yesterday and come back drunk." β
The damage to his brain from alcohol last night has not abated, he raised his hand to rub his temples, frowned, and could still smell alcohol when he opened his mouth, "I played so crazy that I forgot the time." β
Listening to his explanation, I still felt a little uncomfortable, "I prepared a table of food for you at home yesterday, and you didn't even come back to eat, I... Forget it, I'll make you another meal another day. I changed my mind and didn't continue.
"You're thirsty, I'll pour you a glass of water." I got up and walked to the water cooler, and before I could take two steps, he grabbed my hand, "I'm sorry, I know it's my fault, don't be angry." β
"I'm not angry, really." I pushed his hand away, barely smiling.
He sat up to clear his mind, but the headache was still tormenting him, so much so that he didn't sit up long before he fell back again. "Damn, I drank too much yesterday, and my head hurts." He complained.
"Just don't drink so hard next time, remember it for a long time." I walked up to him with a cup and told him, "Go out and send me a text message in the future, I'm worried it's torturous." β
He took the cup and gulped down the liquid, his Adam's apple moving in a tone, and after the two lips became moist, he also imprinted a transparent lip print on my face, "Okay, got it." β
I didn't get a chance to give him the ring last night, but now is a great time. Huzi and the others are still asleep, and there must be no movement for the time being. "I got it for you yesterdayβ" I put my hand in my pocket and went to the ring box.
"Oops!" Before I could take out the ring, I heard Huzi and them moaning in the room, "My head hurts to death!" β
Hearing that they also woke up from their sleep, Zhao Lei just patted me lightly on the shoulder, and then went to look at them, "I'll talk about it later." β
"You woke up, how did you sleep yesterday?" "It's okay, it's just a headache." They talked in the room, and it didn't take long for them to all regain consciousness, piecing together bits and pieces of memories for each other's fragmented brains.
I sat alone on the couch, feeling for the ring box in my pocket. When can I show it to Zhao Lei? Wait, and now can only wait ...
They didn't stay long because they all had classes today. At about nine o'clock, they all said goodbye to me one by one, so that there were only two people left in the room again, Zhao Lei and me.
This time, no one can disturb us anymore, Zhao Lei is also more sober than just now, and now is the best time to give him the ring.
"Zhao Lei! I'm going to tell you something! I feigned anger and yelled at him.
"Huh?" He looked at me with a look of horror, not knowing what he had done wrong.
"You stand there for me, don't move!" Pointing in his direction, his voice raised by more than a dozen decibels.
I got up from the couch and walked in his direction, shaking with the sound of the soles of my shoes hitting the ground. I almost burst out laughing at the way he looked confused and didn't know what was wrong with me.
You can't laugh, you can't laugh, you have to be serious. I told myself like this, and when I walked in front of Zhao Lei, I also pulled my face deeper.
"Can you marry me?" I took the ring box out of my pocket.
I didn't open it, I just held it in my hand. Let the red heart face him.
"What did you say?" He was taken aback by this sudden surprise, his face was even paler than before, and his lips were trembling, "You... You repeat? β
I didn't recognize it, and laughed out loud with a "poof". "Can you marry me? I'm ready for the ring. "I just opened the ring box and let the platinum ring sparkle silver in the sun.
Overjoyed, he said, "I... I was nervous for a long time, and then I hurriedly took out an identical ring box from my pocket. "I'm ready!"
His ring box was exactly the same as mine, and when I opened it, even the ring was the same style as mine. It's just that the size seems to be much smaller than mine.
"Will you marry me?" He said to me, half-kneeling, holding the ring in both hands.
Wait, what's going on? Isn't that my surprise for him? Why did he surprise me?
"I... Iβ" I was still the same as he had just been, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time, and the hand holding the ring box was trembling uncontrollably. "I do!"
This is the second time in my life that I have uttered these three words. The last time in the United States, under the witness of the pastor, I agreed to Ouyang Ze's marriage proposal, this time in China, without anyone witnessing, I accepted Zhao Lei's marriage proposal.
Compared with last time, love is more real.
He was speechless with excitement, and his eyes sparkled with a smile like a crescent moon. He quickly took the ring out of the ring box and put it on my ring finger. "It's a good fit." Seeing that the size was just the right size for my fingers, he also said with satisfaction.
Then he got up from the ground and held out his left hand to me. "Quick, it's my turn!" He was as excited as a child, and he wanted to snatch the ring from my hand and put it on himself.
I deliberately slowed down and took out the ring from the box, and slowly put it on Zhao Lei's ring finger, "Okay." β
"We're married, aren't we?" He asked me as he touched the ring.
"Sort of." I replied to him.
"Haha! You'll be my wife from now on! With that, he snatched me into his arms, and the two arms that were wrapped around me pressed tightly to his chest...
Zhao Lei is very simple, a late ring can make him close his mouth excitedly, "You know what? Your birthday present to me is more precious than a ring! He whispered in my ear.
"Oh? Is it? I took a deep breath of his aroma and vaguely smelled a scent that didn't belong to him.
"It's you! You are the best gift you can ever give me! β
Swapping rings makes you a companion, but... I always feel like something is missing...
