Chapter 207: Engagement
A few days later, the two men held hands and strolled together along the school's road to Repulse Bay.
Jiang Yu was dressed very formally, and in the July weather, he was dressed in a strict white shirt and trousers, and the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead could not stop his enthusiasm.
On this day, the sky is blue, the sun is smiling in the clear sky, and the gardenias on the side of the road are swaying in the breeze.
Just like the first time they looked at each other, the same street, the same weather, as always, the sun shining warmly on them, so comfortable, so soft, as if the snow in winter was covered with cotton wool, everything seemed harmonious but disputed.
Hearing the sound of the doorbell, Mu Chen avoided the opportunity to put on his shirt, ran over gloatingly, and after opening the door, he saw the two people holding hands, his eyes widened, and he looked at them without blinking.
Mu Xi's eyelids frowned slightly, glaring at him, Mu Chen hurriedly turned around and ran away, shouting: "Mom! Hand in hand......"
The two looked at each other and smiled, Mu Xi was a little helpless, and then Zheng Shufang took Mu Chen's change of clothes, heard the sound, looked at the hands of the two of them, and was not too surprised, as if she had guessed it early in the morning.
After Jiang Yu finished saying hello, Mu Xi saw that his mother didn't react, he was a little puzzled, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little nervous, he looked up at Jiang Yu, squeezed his hand, and smiled at him, asking him not to be nervous.
Although she understood the reason why they came, Zheng Shufen was still slightly stunned, and Mu Chen on the side quietly came over to join in the fun and pulled off her mother's clothes.
Only then did she speak, and hurriedly threw the clothes in her hand on Mu Chen's head and beckoned them to sit down. Half an hour later, Mu Renjie rushed home from the company.
"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Jiang Yu, I am Mu Xi's tablemate in high school, my boyfriend in college, and my spouse who will never change in this life."
"I take the liberty to disturb today, the purpose of coming is to meet the second elder, we plan to get engaged, if your second elder has no opinion, then the parents of both sides will meet, and I will come to propose marriage again and discuss the engagement date."
"We're long grown, no kidding, and I want to get engaged to her and give her a future."
Mu Xi sat on the sofa and looked up at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, at this moment, the sun was shuttling through the gaps, shining on him, and he was very different from before.
Childish and rogue, his face has long faded and immature, bringing only mature and steady, broad shoulders, blocking all the confusion and darkness for her, and giving her endless hope and light.
The passing time, the youth that passed quietly, and the chirping of the branches outside the window reminded them of the passage of time, Mu Xi tugged at her clothes with both hands, and was a little anxious when she couldn't wait for her parents' response,
Looking at Jiang Yu, his face was flat, not anxious, but this was just the surface, and his heart was tormenting every second.
Mu Renjie didn't look at him, he brewed tea, tasted it slowly, and after drinking a cup, he asked, "How long have you been talking?" ”
Jiang Yu didn't even think about blurting it out - 724 days
Mu Renjie chuckled, picked up another teacup, put it in front of Mu Xi, his eyes fell on her, and asked affirmatively: "Have you been hiding it..."
Mu Xi was stunned by him, and after waiting for a while, he deliberately stared at him with wide eyes, he couldn't retreat, otherwise Jiang Yu would be even more nervous.
Jiang Yu noticed the small interaction between the two, and didn't want Mu Xi to be embarrassed, so he hurriedly solved the siege: "It's Mu Xi who I've been chasing, she is the passive party, we don't have early love, and the relationship is determined after she becomes an adult." ”
"The reason why I fell in love was because I met my future at an early age, not because I wanted to be engaged because I was in love, but because I wanted to be together forever and chose to get engaged."
"Because... She is the person who is my 'life and death, and I will prove to you that this is the right choice' under the witness of the years. ”
The sunlight was actually taken into his eyes, and it was gently exposed in front of him, allowing Mu Xi to break through the clouds and sink into the soft light that would never recover.
At this moment, it seems to see him who is strange, but it seems to be very familiar, he seems to be like this forever, he is always different from others and in front of his own eyes.
Mu Xi didn't know how fortunate he was to be his exception, but when he suddenly saw his serious side, he wanted to laugh inexplicably.
Mu Renjie didn't show his attitude, his hands were busy on his tea set, he didn't raise his head, looked at the flowing tea, and said indifferently: "Engaged, Mu Xi... Have you figured it out? ”
Hearing this, the luster in Mu Xi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he told him firmly: "Clear!" I know exactly what I'm doing because your daughter has found someone who loves her the most and I want to get engaged to him because I love him too. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yu with his spare eyes, his gaze fell on himself, bringing infinite courage and trust, his face appeared in his mind, and he added with a smile:
"He will, as always, run to me with thousands of stars, and in order to embrace me and warm the entire universe, he will carry a sword with him to eliminate all chaos for me and give me the entire galaxy."
"Mu Xi without Jiang Yu... I didn't dare to think about the consequences, and I would probably fall to the bottom of the abyss and become the most ethereal and hopeless dust. ”
Jiang Yu looked at her with gentle eyes, her eyes were a little moist, this seemed to be the first time, and when she heard her confess to herself, her mood was even more complicated.
From beginning to end, at this moment, the young man's once whimsical and extravagant hopes have been quietly realized, and the girl he loves deeply also loves him deeply.
Suddenly, the sun is shining, and the worry-free morning and dusk rush with you, gentleness, kindness, and indulgence are all with you.
There was not a sound in the living room, so quiet that I could even breathe clearly, I don't know how long it had been, ten minutes or twenty minutes.
Mu Renjie suddenly put down the purple clay pot in his hand, stood up heavily, nodded, and then turned his back to them and stood aside.
After seeing the nod, Jiang Yu really breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows stretched, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after looking at Mu Xi, he bowed deeply to the two elders, "Thank you... Thank you aunt and uncle! ”
Mu Renjie's eyes were slightly red, he pressed his eyes, took a deep breath, pretended to be relaxed, put his hands behind his back, walked upstairs by himself, and left a sentence, "Okay, stay and have a meal before leaving." ”
Mu Xi looked at his back, a little sad, ran forward, hugged his father with both hands, rested his head on his shoulder, Mu Renjie hugged her shoulder, and the two of them walked upstairs together.
walked around the corner, glanced at Jiang Yu, pouted at him, and Jiang Yu smiled at her.
In fact, a year and a half ago, their parents knew about it, but they just pretended not to see it.
Two people get out of school every day, and they are inseparable in the community, are they really invisible?
When Jiang Yu repeated, he sat downstairs late at night every day, and even asked him to go in for dinner that day, it was the meal that Mu Renjie deliberately got off work late, pretended to meet by chance, and invited him in for dinner.
On a rainy night in the south, they were afraid that Jiang Yu would forget to bring an umbrella, so they would take the initiative to put a few umbrellas under the tree.
There were countless nights, Mu Chen took the initiative to go out to bring him snacks to eat.
On the day of Mu Xi's college entrance examination, he didn't let his parents send it, they promised not to go, but they quietly watched them from the sidelines, watching them walk into the examination room hand in hand, and they couldn't say what it was like in their hearts, and they didn't know whether to be happy or ......
