Chapter 37: Marriage Proposal
In the evening, just after a short sun rain, the slanting sun gently sprinkled on the community flower beds, and the thin water droplets on the green leaves in the flower beds shimmered in the sun.
Shi Sheng stood by the flower bed, slightly turning his head to look at the apartment building behind him, his bright eyes with a look of confusion and worry.
Since she moved things out, she hadn't been to Gu Yueqing's house again, and she was originally worried that Gu Yueqing would take the initiative to contact her and settle accounts after the autumn.
However, he never appeared, and he didn't even send a message to her again, but today, Yan Momo is coming back.
Mo Yuqian still went to the hospital every day to find her, and asked her to eat and watch movies several times, but she refused.
Every time she thinks of Gu Yueqing's expression that day, she has no way to get along with others calmly.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly. obviously said that she would return it to Yan Momo, but what is she doing now?
Shi Sheng sighed, went home to pack some things, and went back to the hospital.
As soon as she arrived at the inpatient department, she saw Mo Yuqian standing outside the office door, tilted her head and smiled at him, and walked over a little faster.
"Senior, why are you here so early today?"
Mo Yuqian folded his hands behind him, and looked at her intently with tender eyes, "I have something to tell you today, so I came early." ”
"Oh." Shi Sheng felt a little uncomfortable with his fiery gaze, and walked into the office with his head down, "Let's talk about it first." ”
Mo Yuqian followed behind her, still thinking about how to express herself so that she could agree to the appointment.
Since hearing Yan Momo mention the matter of marriage that day, he began to think about proposing to Shi Sheng, he booked the charter of the Golden Moon Bay Hotel tomorrow night in advance, and also found Li Guo to help prepare for the band that day, and the proposed ring that had been prepared was lying in his pocket at the moment.
His palms began to sweat finely, as if he was more nervous than he was during the exams when he was a student.
Shi Sheng, who was already wearing a doctor's robe, observed him in confusion, and saw that he was just looking at himself but not speaking, sweat was still on his forehead, and he wondered: "Senior, are you very hot?" ”
"Ahem, no." With a hint of panic in his peaceful eyes, he tilted his head slightly, and after a while sat down in the chair opposite her.
"Didn't you say you had something to tell me?" Shi Sheng lowered his head, sorted out the files of the inpatients, and thought about going to the ward rounds for a while.
Mo Yu eased his mind and said, "Actually, it's not a thing, we haven't gone out to eat for a long time, and I want to ask you ......."
"I might be on duty tomorrow too." As soon as Shi Sheng heard him say the words "eat" and "date", as if he was a conditioned reflex, he immediately interrupted his next words.
Realizing that he seemed to have rejected too quickly and too simply, he looked at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior." Why don't you change the day? ”
She couldn't remember how many times she had turned down his invitations in the recent period, and every time she faced Mo Yuqian, her mood was very complicated and contradictory.
This mood is not much different from when Yan Momo complains about Gu Yueqing in front of her every time.
"Ah Sheng, you don't need to apologize to me at any time." Mo Yuqian felt extremely lost, but it was imperative to do it tomorrow night, "Can I transfer shifts with my colleagues tomorrow?" ”
After Shi Sheng heard this, he was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect Mo Yuqian to make such a request, after all, this was the first time in such a long time. She had tried to turn him down many times under the pretext of work, and although he sometimes couldn't help but look at her suspiciously, he never asked her if she could be transferred.
"Is there anything important tomorrow?" She had to think so.
The smile on Mo Yuqian's face became a little far-fetched, thinking that the number of times she rejected herself seemed to be a little frequent recently.
"It's not a particularly important thing, I just want to ask you out for dinner."
"Oh." Shi Sheng pursed his lips thoughtfully, thinking of his rudeness to him during this time, he nodded, "Okay, I'll change shifts with my colleagues later." ”
"Well, then I'll pick you up at your house at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Looking at the overjoyed smile on his face, Shi Sheng felt guilty, but he still couldn't help but think of Gu Yueqing's back that night, "Come to the hospital to pick me up, I won't go back after the shift, so you can just come to the hospital directly." ”
She thought to herself, at least she didn't have to worry about running into Gu Yueqing in the hospital.
"Okay." Mo Yuqian was only thinking about how to propose to her tomorrow night, and it was not a problem to pick her up anywhere, as long as she could go to the appointment, it would be enough.
After coming out of the hospital, he immediately called Li Guo and told her that Shi Sheng had agreed to go to the appointment.
"That's good! I've already found a band, and I'll be there on time at half past seven tomorrow night, don't worry! ”
"Thank you." He was sincerely grateful.
"Thank you! As long as you and Ah Sheng get married at that time, don't let me make a big red envelope! Haha......"
Li Guo's cheerful hearty laughter came from the phone, and Mo Yuqian felt that tomorrow night would be an unforgettable night.
In the western restaurant of the Golden Moon Bay Hotel, bright and colorful crystal lamps are hung high on the ceiling, and the entrance is decorated with a curtain made of pink gauze.
Mo Yuqian took Shi Sheng's hand and rested it in the crook of his bent arm, smiled warmly at her, and led her through the pink veil together.
The pink carpet in the middle of the floor is covered with red and white rose petals, and the white dining table in the center of the restaurant is surrounded by a circle.
Shi Sheng was stunned and looked at this well-arranged romantic scenery, which was clearly carefully arranged and planned.
Her heart began to feel uneasy, especially when the small stage in front of the white table was still standing with instruments waiting to play.
As soon as the two of them stepped onto the red carpet covered with flowers, the people on the stage began to play, and the long, romantic tune resounded around the restaurant and beat on her heart.
She looked up at the man next to her in surprise, only to see that there was no trace of surprise on his gentle jade face, only a look of surprise and satisfaction.
Looking at everything in front of her, Shi Sheng felt that she was in a cold sweat, she realized that all this was arranged by Mo Yuqian, and she faintly felt that what was about to happen was unacceptable to her.
In a trance, Mo Yuqian had already led her to sit at the dining table, pulled out the chair for her elegantly and intimately, and then walked to sit opposite her.
After receiving the instructions, the waiter in the western restaurant began to serve the food and pour the wine, and the action process was completed in one go without any mistakes.
Shi Sheng was anxious in her heart, she was desperately looking forward to someone who had something wrong at this time, or someone who suddenly appeared to help her interrupt the dinner.
"Ah Sheng." Mo Yuqian raised the red wine glass in his hand and called her, his voice affectionate and tactful.
The hand that was clutching her knee because of nervousness was startled by the shout, her fingers bounced involuntarily a few times, she clenched her fist, and then let go, raised her head and smiled at him with a strong sense of composure, and raised her glass as well.
"Is it your birthday tonight?" She asked weakly. She very much hoped that Mo Yuqian's answer would be an affirmative sentence, not the one she had guessed.
Mo Yuqian smiled slightly, "No." ”
"That's ...... What the? ”
"Eat first."
Shi Sheng looked at his calm smile, the more uneasy he felt, and he saw that the food on the table had no appetite at all, but he had to eat it.
She's waiting, he's waiting.
"What's wrong? Isn't it tasty? Mo Yuqian elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth, and when she saw that the food on her plate was not moving, he asked her.
He was in no hurry, no one would be able to disturb his proposal tonight, after all, he had already chartered the venue.
"No, I'm not hungry." Shi Sheng put down her knife and fork, her nervous mood made her mouth feel dry, she picked up the glass of lemonade and took a sip, Momo prayed that things would not go the way she had guessed.
"In that case, let's get down to business."
Hearing this, her heart thumped, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva stiffly, silently waiting for his next sentence.
"Ah Sheng, we've been trying to date for a while, what do you think we get along?" Mo Yuqian sat upright, his right hand in his pants pocket, and his hot palm was holding the royal blue ring box.
He waited for a moment, not waiting for her response, but he didn't care, only because she was too shy to answer.
"When I heard Yan Momo ask when we would get married that day, I realized that our relationship seemed to everyone to be like glue. I've been thinking about it for a long time......"
He paused, did not speak, looked at Shi Sheng quietly for a few seconds, his right hand slowly raised, stretched out in front of her and spread his palm, the royal blue box had been opened, and a shiny ring was revealed.
"Ah Sheng, are you willing to accept me?"
Shi Sheng stared at the glittering ring in astonishment and distress, and was speechless for a while.
"I ......"
"If you think we're growing too fast, we can get engaged first." Mo Yuqian saw that she seemed stunned, thinking that it was probably her marriage proposal that made her feel sudden.
His pious and sincere tone made Shi Sheng feel guilty and annoyed, knowing that she really shouldn't have agreed to try to date him because of impulse. Seeing that Mo Yuqian was sinking deeper and deeper, she was still entangled with Gu Yueqing unclearly.
"Senior, I'm a little nervous." She lied in her heart, "Can I go to the bathroom first?" ”
Mo Yuqian was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, "Okay." ”
Agreed, she clenched her fists, stood up and smiled apologetically at him, controlling her anxiety and leaving as slowly as she could, muttering "I'm sorry" before stepping away. ”
Shi Sheng used the excuse of going to the bathroom, but he slipped away quietly while everyone was not paying attention.
Although she was extremely sorry for Mo Yuqian, she really didn't know how to refuse him. Wouldn't it hurt a person's dignity to refuse in person?
Mo Yuqian waited for half an hour, the smile on his face had already become stiff and bitter, romantic and affectionate music was still playing in the restaurant, and the carefully arranged decorations around him seemed extremely ironic at this moment, and even the waiters waiting for service in the restaurant began to show sympathy in their eyes.
Before deciding to do this, he had also expected to be rejected, just thinking that with Shi Sheng's character and kindness, in order not to hurt him, he would at least agree to his marriage proposal on the spot. He didn't expect her to run away.
Early the next morning, Shi Sheng was beaten by Li Guo, who rushed to the office in a hurry, and she felt guilty, so she had no choice but to call Mo Yuqian in front of Li Guo.
Given that Mo Yuqian didn't speak after hearing her voice, she had to apologize as if talking to herself, and explained that she left quietly because she was too sudden and didn't have time to think it through, hoping that he could forgive herself.
After Shi Sheng finished speaking, he waited anxiously for a while before waiting for his soft "um", and then the phone was hung up.
She looked helplessly at Li Guo who was standing aside, only to see that Li Guo was also speechless to her, and left after muttering a sentence of "self-inflicted".
Shi Sheng knew that he was wrong, and he didn't dare to bother Mo Yuqian anymore, so he didn't send another message to apologize.
