Chapter 456: Marriage Proposal
Shen Guodong has been in contact with Western culture for many years, but he has never really had any deep feelings for it, let alone admired it.
He has always had his own set of rules as a person, and he does not agree with many of the formal things in Western culture. But when he asked Zhou Wanwan to marry him with pious and apprehension, for the first time he felt that there was no posture more sincere than kneeling before her, and expressing the surging love and longing of his heart.
The man has gold under his knees, and he is using the thoughts of a Chinese man to understand this kneeling.
Just like the ring in his hand, even when he was about to propose, he carefully checked the origin and legend of the wedding ring, and even consulted an old professor of Ning University, but he had no feeling for Greek mythology and a series of stories from ancient Rome and ancient Egypt.
But he still sent the ring that had been carefully prepared for a long time to Zhou Wanwan. All he values is the form that the ring represents.
If Zhou Wanwan wears it, it means that she is willing to accept his love, is willing to enter into marriage with him, and is willing to give him a lifetime of companionship, then this token is extremely valuable in his eyes and must be cherished and treated.
Shen Guodong was stirred by the strong feelings in his heart, holding Zhou Wanwan's hand trembled slightly, the hand holding the ring was nervous and sweaty, looking at Zhou Wanwan's eyes were so hot that he could almost melt a few crystal snowflakes that occasionally floated over.
The fireworks in the night sky gradually bloomed, becoming more and more dazzling, and the sky was brilliant and gorgeous, and the fireworks seemed to explode in Shen Guodong's heart, making his heart beat faster and faster.
"Nan, please marry me." Shen Guodong solemnly finished saying this. Suddenly forgetting the marriage proposal that had been carefully prepared for a long time, he fell silent in the brilliant fireworks, and just knelt on the ground reverently and firmly. Like a stone statue that has been silent for thousands of years but has been unswerving.
Zhou Yang, who had been standing by and watching them, was also stunned by his sudden silence, and then became anxious. Shen Guodong has been preparing for today's marriage proposal for so long, and he didn't hide it from them, why did he suddenly become like this?
Dunzi pulled Zhou Chen and motioned him to hurry up and think of a way, Shen Guodong fell off the chain at a critical moment, and he must not know what to say.
Zhou Chen didn't allow Zhou Yang and Dunzi to help him. What kind of Shen Guodong can impress his sister the most, he knows best. Shen Guodong was suddenly so nervous that he forgot to speak, which was by no means a bad thing for him.
Shen Guodong stared at Zhou Wanwan's bright eyes against the backdrop of fireworks in the sky. Suddenly smiled ashamedly, "Nan, I don't know how to sing foreign songs, and I don't think any song can express my feelings for you." I don't even think that I must be good to you in the future to impress you and promise to marry me. I even forgot to memorize the words. ”
Shen Guodong's gaze deepened more and more, and he obviously said words that he had no confidence, but it made Zhou Wanwan feel that he was surrounded by his tenderness and affection like the sea, and his heart was warm and safe.
"Nannan, you know, whether you love me or not, whether you agree to marry me or not, I will be good to you. I can only be good to you alone in my life, and nothing can be changed. I know I really don't have anything to promise or impress you. I can only beg you today empty-handed, please marry me, please stay with me so that I can love you, please give me a home. ”
"Seriously, my life only really began from the moment I met you. When I was a child, because of you, I can really understand the meaning of home, it is you who gave me family affection and the goal of life, and since then I have known that I must put you in my heart in order for me to be happy.
When I grew up, it was you who made me understand the beauty of love, and made me work hard to make myself a little better, a little better, so that I could stand by your side and tell you my feelings.
Baby, I know that I have done a lot of wrong things to you and made you suffer a lot of grievances, but I still have to beg you to marry me. Because only you can give me a home, give me happiness, and give me the motivation to live in this world.
Please, marry me, I can't live without you......"
In the end, Shen Guodong put his forehead on Zhou Wanwan's hand, and he was already choked up.
The man has gold under his knees, and the man has tears and does not flick, but he has not reached the depths of love.
The fireworks in the sky are in full swing, and the huge canopy is dazzling, but no one pays attention, everything has become the background of this feeling, and everything is as touching as this affectionate sea.
Zhou Wanwan didn't know when she was already in tears, and the huge emotional impact made her unable to say a word, so she could only let her tears flood unreservedly.
Shen Guodong quickly discovered Zhou Wanwan's tears, couldn't care about his emotions, hugged her to wipe her tears, and was so panicked that he spoke incoherently, "Nan, don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, if you don't marry, don't marry, let's take our time, we are not in a hurry, Brother Shen has been with you, when you want to marry, we will get married, even if you don't want to marry Brother Shen for the rest of your life, I will always wait for you, don't cry, be good, it's all Brother Shen's bad ......"
The more I coaxed, the more tears came into the night, and I couldn't speak. Shen Guodong was so anxious that he picked her up, and went to Zhou Yang for help without a master, "Big brother ......"
Zhou Yang couldn't cry or laugh, as long as it involved his sister, Shen Guodong would never be clever. No matter how strong a person is, in front of the person who loves each other, he is apprehensive and humble. Shen Guodong's stupidity is not that he is really not confident, but that he cares too much.
Zhou Yang understood his intentions, but he couldn't say anything at this time. This relationship is not easy for the two of them, and every step is precious to this day. Every detail of today is a precious memory for the two of them for a lifetime, and they can only be left to create by themselves.
"Let's go first!" That's all Zhou Yang can say.
Shen Guodong ran into the yard with Zhou Wanwan in his arms, regretting that he wanted to slap himself a few times. When you can't choose it, why do you want to do it in the middle of winter! Crying and freezing, how good is it to toss the little girl into trouble!
Zhou Yang hurriedly followed him to open the door, Zhou Chen shook his head angrily and smiled, and was about to follow up, but Dunzi looked at the bright fireworks in the sky and grabbed him, "Don't follow up to see Shen Guodong stupid." Let's stay here for a while, and we have prepared so many that no one will see, what a waste. ”
As soon as he said it, Zhou Chen remembered. Hurriedly ran to the open space behind, "Zhou Shiyi is still following Xiao San'er and they set off fireworks behind!" If no one catches him, he will definitely not go home, so he must hurry up and let him into the house, don't freeze again for the New Year! ”
When Zhou Chen grabbed him into the house with the back of Zhou Shiyi's neck, Zhou Wanwan had already wiped his face with a hot towel, and his mood was much more stable, and he was drinking hot chocolate in Shen Guodong's hands.
As soon as Zhou Shiyi was let go, he rushed over and threw himself on her. "Auntie! I've set off fireworks! Did you see that? Uncle Gordon said that he put it for you to see, when do you still want to see it, I'll show it to you again! ”
Zhou Yang picked up this small light bulb with full wattage. gave Zhou Chen and Zhao Xiaosan'er and Zhao Xiaosi'er behind him a look, "Okay, it's time to make dumplings!" Whoever performs well today will be given an extra New Year's red envelope! ”
Several people quickly retreated, leaving the space for Shen Guodong and Zhou Wanwan.
Shen Guodong looked at Zhou Wanwan's face and finally became a little bloody. He let out a sigh and took her in his arms. Touching her eyes that were still a little red and swollen in distress, "Little fool, don't cry like this next time, what's not to tell me?" You're still young, and if you don't want to get married, we won't get married, and we'll discuss this matter when you're older. ”
It's not that I'm not disappointed, but I've experienced so many things, as long as I can hold the little girl in my arms. His patience is more than anything else.
Zhou Wanwan cried too much just now, and now she can't hold it back. Hearing him say this, his eyes turned red again.
Shen Guodong was so anxious that he couldn't help it, and subconsciously began to use the method of coaxing her when he was a child, patting her back and shaking it gently, and began to promise indiscriminately, "Okay, okay, let's not mention getting married, if you don't like it, you won't get married, and you will never get married." "As long as she doesn't cry, he can do whatever he wants.
Zhou Wanwan didn't appreciate it, stretched out her hand and hit him, glaring at him with big tearful eyes and dissatisfaction, "You proposed just now!" "What do you mean never get married!?
Shen Guodong's heart was shaken by those watery eyes, and he quickly admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never make you unhappy in the future!" ”
Zhou Wanwan bit her lip, she couldn't do anything about this stupid person, so she had to ask him fiercely, "What about the ring?" Do you want to take the ring back after proposing? ”
Shen Guodong was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, jumped up from the chair, and lifted Zhou Wanwan high, his face was full of ecstasy, "Hello! You, you, you......"
Zhou Wanwan was infected by his emotions, and laughed along, "I, me, me!" I'm engaged and haven't put on a ring yet! Are you trying to repent? ”
Shen Guodong hurriedly put her down and rummaged around on himself, just frightened by the tears of the little girl, how can he remember where to put the ring!
There was no body on him, and there was no one in his coat pocket, Shen Guodong turned around and ran out, ran a few steps and came back, carefully carried Zhou Wanwan to the chair to sit on, and told her seriously, "Don't move!" Waiting for me here! I'll be right back! Don't move! "It's really overwhelming.
Zhou Wanwan listened to the sound of Shen Guodong hurriedly banging on the door and running out, and suddenly laughed.
Shen Guodong ran out of the gate, only to see the pier leaning against the gate and smoking.
Dunzi spread his hand at him, and the ring that he threw away in a hurry lay in the palm of Dunzi's hand.
Shen Guodong smirked and took it, turned around and ran into the house, ran a few steps and turned back, patted Dunzi on the shoulder, wanted to say something but didn't say it, and finally excitedly shared the joy with him, "Nan Nan promised me!" ”
The hand holding the cigarette waved at him impatiently, in the dark night without stars and moons, only a few red lanterns under the eaves in the distance shone a little faint light, without the fireworks in the sky, he couldn't see his expression clearly, "Hurry up and get out of you!" You stupid hat doesn't know that you have already promised you! ”
Shen Guodong smirked disappreciatively, walked a few steps and turned back to call him, "Come into the house and make dumplings!" Those few can help except make trouble, if you don't go, Xiao Er will take care of it alone. ”
Dunzi threw the cigarette in his hand and caught up with it in a few steps, and the wind blew up a few crystal snowflakes, hitting the red lanterns and festive window flowers under the eaves, and the warm lights shone on, making people's hearts warm and joyful.
Shen Guodong knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Wanwan again, put the ring on the middle finger of her left hand, and then bowed his head reverently to kiss her ring-wearing finger, as if he was close to his own happiness.
"Nannan, thank you......" He wanted to thank her for too many things, so he could only turn the ecstasy in his heart into a smirk, "Nannan, let's get married in May!" It was no longer a nervous request, and he had returned to his usual domineering and strong position.
Zhou Wanwan nodded, nodded at Shen Guodong's eyes full of joy and happiness, and nodded again.
"Brother Shen, let's get married in May!" (To be continued.) )
