Psst! We're moving!
As soon as the photo was taken, while everyone was still in an emotional state, Sheng Chun suddenly blurted out, “Yingying, why did you agree so easily! You said you’d make things difficult for Mr. He in the future.”
“Exactly, exactly! Mr. He’s proposal was too easy.”
“...”
Everyone chattered, and the rooftop erupted in laughter.
Paired with the twilight sunset, this scene was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone’s faces were beaming with smiles, a genuine joy and blessing from the heart.
Bo Ying looked at them, unable to suppress a smile.
She was held in He Jingxiu’s arms and gave him a ‘reluctant’ kiss in front of everyone.
It was just a quick peck.
Although Bo Ying had a thick skin, kissing in front of friends and family still made her a little shy.
Fortunately, everyone didn’t make it too difficult for the couple.
________________________________________
After a good laugh, her emotions calmed down a bit. She looked around and noticed that the rooftop floor was covered with fresh flowers, complementing the sunset.
It was beautiful and striking.
She looked for a while, then turned to the man beside her, “When did you guys start setting this up?”
He Jingxiu looked at her with gentle eyes and said softly, “This morning.”
Bo Ying was stunned, “Did the teachers allow it?”
“Yes,” He Jingxiu said, “I mentioned it to my former teachers after I had this plan.”
Bo Ying raised an eyebrow, not particularly surprised that the teachers would agree.
When He Jingxiu was a student, he was a favorite of the teachers. If he wanted to propose at school, how could they possibly refuse?
Seeing the smile on her face, He Jingxiu paused and said, “Let’s go down now.”
“Go where?” Bo Ying was startled, then realized, “To eat?”
“...”
“No.”
Bo Ying didn’t realize He Jingxiu had a second surprise planned until he led her to the sports field.
If she hadn’t said yes on the rooftop, he had a backup plan.
Suddenly, Bo Ying recalled the scenes from their previous visit to the school.
She had mentioned that she liked watching him play basketball, and he had pondered for a while and seemed to have replied, “Got it.”
So, this was ‘got it.’
Bo Ying looked up at a group of men around thirty years old, taking off their suits and casual clothes on an autumn evening, then putting on jerseys and heading straight for the basketball court.
She held He Jingxiu’s suit jacket in her arms, and after a long moment of daze, she asked, “Chi Xiaolu.”
Chi Lu, “What’s wrong?”
Bo Ying turned her head and looked at her for a few seconds, asking, “Why does my brother have to cooperate with their childish behavior?”
“Childish?” Chi Lu glanced at her, “Aren’t you touched?”
“...Touched.”
Bo Ying chuckled, “Aren’t they afraid of trending on hot searches if they play basketball here later?”
Besides Sheng Chun, a big star, Yan Qiuzhi and the others, being idle lately, also came to join the fun.
At this moment, Chen Lun Nan and the others were also on the basketball court.
Yan Qiuzhi had just retrieved Chen Lun Nan’s jacket from the other side and happened to overhear the remark.
She chuckled, “Let them trend. We haven’t been on the hot search for a while anyway.”
Sheng Chun nodded, smiling, “Because of this, netizens have already speculated about their marital troubles.”
Yan Qiuzhi: “...”
Bo Ying: “...”
The few of them burst into laughter.
“Who do you think will win?”
The men who went up were divided into two camps.
He Jingxiu, Luo Xiao, Pei Yan, Shen Su, Qi Xuezhen; Bo Yan, Chen Lun Nan, Jiang Chen, Cheng Zhan, Fu Yanzhi. Exactly five people on each side, no more, no less.
“I have a question.”
Xiang Yueming asked, “Why was Professor Shen pulled to Mr. He’s side?”
Sheng Chun, “Don’t you know?”
Bo Ying explained, “They already knew each other.”
“Ah?”
At this, several people were shocked.
“Yao Yao, is that true?”
Zheng Jinyao: “...Yes.”
________________________________________
Instantly, several people looked at Bo Ying again, “I remember Yingying used to say that Mr. He wanted to introduce quality young men to Yao Yao, but Yao Yao said she wanted a professor, a highly educated individual, and Mr. He said he didn’t know anyone who taught?”
This question wasn’t too difficult to answer.
Bo Ying only found out later that He Jingxiu and Shen Su had known each other for a long time but didn’t interact much.
They had met a few times while studying abroad, but only those few times. After that, Shen Su stayed to teach at a foreign university and only returned to China at the beginning of the year.
If not for that chance encounter, he still wouldn’t have remembered that he had a professor friend.
After listening, Yan Qiuzhi commented, “That’s true.”
She raised her chin and said, “You see, Mr. He and Mr. Pei are both reeking of money. A professor like Mr. Shen, who teaches and educates people, certainly wouldn’t like dealing with them.”
Several people couldn’t help but laugh.
“I have to say something,” Sheng Chun said, “Mr. Shen was also raised with the smell of money.” Zheng Jinyao laughed beside her, “Yes, he has an elder brother.”
If it weren’t for his elder brother, Shen Su wouldn’t have been able to easily become a professor at a prestigious academic institution; he might have been caught and brought home to inherit the family business.
Upon hearing this, Chi Lu was silent for a moment and said, “Birds of a feather flock together.”
Bo Ying, “I’ll tell them later.”
Chi Lu glanced at her, “Now that you’re Mr. He’s fiancée, you’re not going to be the little sister-in-law anymore, are you?”
“No way.” Bo Ying greeted Ji Qingying, “Sister Qingying, is Dr. Fu off today by any chance?”
Ji Qingying nodded, “Yes, Teacher Bo mentioned it to him before, so we cleared today’s schedule.”
She patted Bo Ying’s head and sincerely said, “I hope our Yingying is happy.”
In their circle, Bo Ying and Xiang Yueming were of similar age, but by month, Bo Ying was two months older than Xiang Yueming, making her the youngest sister.
Bo Ying couldn’t help but laugh, looking up at her, “I definitely will be.”
Chi Lu tapped her head, “If Mr. He dares to bully you, you can ask your brother Chen Lun Nan’s wife to expose him on Weibo.”
Yan Qiuzhi: “?”
She choked, “Why not you?”
“I don’t have as many Weibo followers as you,” Chi Lu said self-righteously, “Aren’t you the most suitable?”
Yan Qiuzhi, “Then Little Moon also has a lot of followers.”
Shen Muqing nodded seriously beside them, “You two expose him together.”
The two: “...You hand over your Weibo first, then we’ll go expose him.”
“...”
Because there were many women, they gathered and chatted, completely forgetting the men playing on the basketball court.
After a while, they remembered and started watching the game.
However, at this point, they couldn’t quite understand what was happening.
________________________________________
After it ended, Bo Ying walked over to He Jingxiu, handed him water, and whispered, “Who won?”
He Jingxiu: “?”
He looked down at Bo Ying, “You didn’t watch?”
Bo Ying touched her nose, holding up the ring he had just proposed with, and whispered, “I was admiring the ring.”
She tried to cover up, “This diamond is so big, when did you start preparing it?”
He Jingxiu just watched her performance quietly.
After a moment of silence, he reached out and ruffled her hair, asking softly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to watch the game?”
“Yeah,” Bo Ying said awkwardly, “But Chi Xiaolu and the others kept talking to me, so I didn’t watch carefully.”
She pushed the blame onto Chi Lu.
And Chi Lu, of course, threw the blame back at her.
Chi Lu would never admit that she didn’t seriously watch Bo Yan play. She was a tiny bit smarter than Bo Ying in this regard, and even if she didn’t watch, she wouldn’t show it.
Of course, her clumsy acting couldn’t fool Bo Yan either.
Fortunately, the few grown men weren’t the type to quibble on the spot. Knowing that the women hadn’t watched, they didn’t show any dissatisfaction.
They just mentally made a note to make them watch the game carefully when they got home.
________________________________________
After playing basketball, it was getting late.
He Jingxiu had already booked a restaurant, and the group headed there.
It was a noisy evening, very lively and relaxing.
After dinner, everyone gradually left.
Bo Yan and Chi Lu were the last to leave. Bo Yan looked down at Bo Ying, reached out and patted her head, his voice deep, “You’ve grown up.”
For some reason, Bo Ying felt like crying.
She wasn’t even married yet; He Jingxiu had only proposed to her, but as soon as Bo Yan said something like that, her emotions became uncontrollable.
“I haven’t grown up,” Bo Ying pursed her lips, saying tearfully, “I’m still your sister.”
Bo Yan was amused by her, “I didn’t say you weren’t my sister.”
Bo Ying, “Then you said I’ve grown up.”
Bo Yan smiled, and said softly, “You know what I mean.”
Bo Ying didn’t want to know.
Bo Yan paused, flicked her forehead, and didn’t say much more to her.
He looked at He Jingxiu, then said, “Take good care of her.”
He Jingxiu nodded solemnly, “Don’t worry.”
Bo Yan hummed, “If you don’t take good care of her, Chi Lu and I don’t mind raising her until she’s old.”
Chi Lu followed with a smile, “That’s right.”
She hugged Bo Ying, “Your brother and I will always have our doors open for you.”
________________________________________
Ultimately, Bo Ying’s suppressed tears still fell.
What she disliked most were these emotional scenes. Yet, she was a sensitive person and was always touched by the words of her family and friends.
The paternal and maternal love she had lacked since childhood seemed to be diligently filled by Bo Yan and Chi Lu, and even He Jingxiu.
They made her always believe that she was a child who was loved and pampered.
Bo Yan didn’t like to say these things either, so after a few words of caution, he took Chi Lu home.
After watching them leave, He Jingxiu took Bo Ying’s hand and got into the car.
Because he had been drinking, He Jingxiu arranged for a driver to pick them up.
After getting in the car, Bo Ying leaned against his chest, quietly saying nothing.
He Jingxiu looked down at her several times, playing with her hand.
Outside the window, light and shadow flickered, falling on the glass and then spilling inside.
Bo Ying stared outside for a long time, then buried her head in He Jingxiu’s neck and spoke, “He Jingxiu.”
He Jingxiu’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he responded, “Yes.”
Bo Ying chuckled, and whispered softly, “I forgot to tell you. I really liked your proposal today. I’m very happy.”
He Jingxiu was startled, speechless.
He put his arm around Bo Ying, gently stroked her head, and said softly, “As long as you like it.”
“Were you nervous?” Bo Ying asked curiously.
He Jingxiu nodded.
Bo Ying raised her eyebrows, surprised, “How nervous?”
“More nervous than meeting your grandparents,” He Jingxiu informed her.
At that time, if Bo Ying had intertwined her fingers with his, she would have noticed his palms were sweaty.
It was due to nervousness.
Although He Jingxiu was confident that Bo Ying would say yes, he was still inexplicably nervous.
Perhaps it was because she was someone he cherished, or perhaps it was fear and worry.
He Jingxiu couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason, but he was just nervous.
It wasn’t until he put the ring on her finger and held her in his arms that his nervousness eased slightly.
Hearing this answer, Bo Ying chuckled, “Then you must have been quite nervous.”
He Jingxiu looked at her, and after a moment of silence, said, “I’m very happy too.”
The two exchanged smiles.
They both implicitly understood what the other was happy about.
________________________________________
After arriving home, Bo Ying only managed to tell others she was home before He Jingxiu pinned her against the sofa and started kissing her.
Bo Ying whimpered twice, unable to push him away.
She surrendered, sharing his joy.
With Bo Ying’s response, He Jingxiu kissed her more fiercely.
The two embraced and kissed on the sofa for a long time, until they were panting, until they were breathless from lack of oxygen, yet they were still reluctant to part from each other.
Suddenly, a candy was slipped into Bo Ying’s mouth.
She was surprised, and just as she was about to ask what the candy was for, the man’s deep voice sounded in her ear, “Wedding candy.”
“...”
Bo Ying felt like laughing, but before she could, her tongue was intertwined with the man’s, wrapped around each other.
The candy in her mouth was sucked away by the man.
“...I didn’t even taste it.”
In between gasps, Bo Ying softly accused.
He Jingxiu paused slightly, leaned down, and continued to block her mouth.
“Then taste it again.”
His tongue slipped in, licking and sucking at her lips.
“Go... to the room.”
Bo Ying’s mind was blank from his kisses, but she vaguely remembered that much.
He Jingxiu’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice deep, his hot breath against her ear, saying, “Try it here.”
“...”
