I didn't have to look back to feel the overwhelming gaze behind me, but Cao Yu'an's faint voice was extremely tenacious and pierced my eardrums and drilled straight into my heart: "I know that today is not the best time, but I still want to ask you solemnly, would you like to marry me?" ”

I just felt that a string in my head snapped and snapped, and it instantly became chaotic and blurry. All my reactions were no longer the result of deliberation, but completely from my inner voice. I didn't follow Austen's Lady and prove my identity and reserve with repeated rejections. There was almost a moment of hesitation, and the one who kept shouting in my heart jumped out. I heard myself blurt out, almost without hesitation, "Okay." He handed his left hand unshyly. The ring left a cold touch on my ring finger, but it left a lot of warmth in my heart. I stared at Cao Yu'an's handsome face, and only one sentence was left in my heart: "I'm going to marry him, and I will be tied to this man for decades for the rest of my life!" ”

I don't know if it was my encouragement, or the scene in front of me that rekindled the students' good expectations for the future, the applause in the auditorium lasted for a long time, and the students' eyes also shone like stars.

After the ceremony, I took Cao Yu'an home. Originally, according to the usual practice, I should always go to his house to meet my future parents-in-law, but this war has torn the good family to pieces, and the future parents-in-law can only look at each other from afar across the vast sea.

The dinner table on this day was really exciting and exciting. The two aunts, who were already in separate positions, formed an offensive and defensive alliance now, and launched a siege and interception around Cao Yu'an's life experience, as if they would not stop without digging up some unknown stories. It's just that no matter how good their abacus is, they still can't beat reality, and Cao Yu'an's family background is almost impeccable, so they can only shut up angrily.

However, my grandfather showed unprecedented tolerance for Cao Yu'an's and me's decision to take matters into their own hands. Because of Cao Yu'an's illustrious background and excellent personal conditions, his grandfather probably regarded him as the best choice for his grandson-in-law from the bottom of his heart. In everyone's eyes, there is no so-called risk or hidden danger in my marriage with Cao Yu'an, and it is already a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes to be able to climb such a family business, and I have no reason or right to oppose it at all.

Her mother generously gave a gold watch as a gift to Cao Yu'an. Cao Yu'an didn't know what to do, and accepted this expensive gift at my suggestion. There are some things that Cao Yu'an won't know, but I do. This watch was not new to me, because Uncle Shen only carefully took it off when he was undergoing surgery, and put it in a velvet-lined box with great pity. Before today, I didn't even know that this watch was in my mother's hands, and then a huge question arose, why did Uncle Shen leave this watch that meant so much to him to his mother? And why did her mother give such a commemorative item to Cao Yu'an, who had never met? I was suspicious and tried to see some clues in my mother's expression, but in the end it still ended in failure.

Of course, Cao Yu'an really has the demeanor of a turbid son when he is serious, and he is also very easy to confuse his opponent. His sudden appearance finally received miraculous results, even the eldest aunt and the second aunt, who were very unaccustomed to it at first, were also affectionate, and reluctantly told him to "watch out for your body, oh Xiaocao, you will come to the house more often when you have time in the future." My grandfather, on the other hand, was even more generous, and he earnestly promised to use a large south-facing house in the old house as my dowry. Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to think about it, if this battle continues, we will have to be displaced all the way, then my dowry will always be just a piece of paper. However, since I have not officially graduated from school, we have agreed to postpone the wedding date until October next year, and as for the engagement ceremony and red tape, because it is an extraordinary time, it can only be simplified.

What amazed me the most was Gu Zuoyan's work efficiency, from Cao Yu'an's proposal to me to receiving his congratulatory gift in just a few hours, and the only people who knew about these things were family members in addition to teachers and classmates in school. But God knows what method he used, and he actually knew the ins and outs of the whole thing. While I was unwrapping the outside of the gift, I remembered with trepidation what Gu Zuoyan once said: There are our people everywhere, don't think about fishing in troubled waters, it's impossible.

The glass wrapper printed with the bright starlight was opened layer by layer, and I saw the code left by Gu Zuoyan in an unobtrusive corner: meet at the Russian restaurant next to the Waibaidu Bridge at 12 noon tomorrow. I flipped the piece of paper over and over again and looked at it several times, but there was no cause or effect, no context to refer to, and I couldn't figure out what he was looking for me, and I certainly couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing. I picked up the handmade chocolates in the box and put them in my mouth, and the sweet taste instantly burst out in my mouth, and I thought to myself: since I can't think of it, I might as well sleep well, anyway, the truth will be revealed tomorrow.

When I went out the next morning, my mother was puzzled by my actions. In her opinion, although the wedding is still more than half a year away, there are still many things to be prepared. And I'm good, hanging high as if it doesn't matter to me, if one day such a good man is snatched away, I don't even have the position to cry.

On the way, I happened to encounter a youth student march, and I arrived at the agreed place almost half an hour later than the agreed time. Gu Zuoyan clearly put on an unhappy face, he didn't even raise his head when he saw me, but just motioned for me to sit in the seat opposite him with his eyes. I didn't dare to do much because I knew that I was wrong, so I had to sit quietly and in a daze. After almost three minutes, Gu Zuoyan opened his mouth expressionlessly: "I heard that Cao Yu'an proposed to you, you are really going to surprise people." Originally, we thought that if you could get close to him, we might be able to live with important information in the long run. But we can't imagine that you either don't do it, or you do it. Now you're his wife........."

I loudly and firmly pointed out Gu Zuoyan's mistake: "Fiancée. ”

Gu Zuoyan glanced at me inexplicably and continued, "Okay, fiancée. With your current relationship, you can be said to be the closest to the truth. So, you give a deadline and how long it will take for us to get the information we want. ”
