Luo Fan's mind raced for a few moments before he came up with a clumsy answer.
"Emmmm.......I just wanted to find out, after all, we'll eventually have to get to that point."
He scratched his nose guiltily.
"What would you think if I were very different from the person you imagined me to be?"
Yingque felt increasingly puzzled: "But I feel that no matter what, you will always be the best version of yourself in my heart."
In an instant, a warm current surged through Luo Fan's heart.
"In my memory, you have always been that kind and warm boy, the one who would make me a coffee with a bunch of sugar and sweet wine mixed together when I cried, the one who would bring the kitten back for me, and the one who would stop the adults with ill intentions."
Then, another bone-chilling cold swept over me...
Am I still worthy of your memory now?
......
Forget it, I'll think about these things later anyway.
Only tomorrow matters.
Literally, tomorrow is truly a very important day...
434 That night... (5000)

The White Eagle and the Eastern Empire are separated by vast oceans and are in completely different states, one is turbulent and the other is peaceful and tranquil.
For Luo Fan, his time in Donghuang was a rare vacation. Apart from not being able to stay in his own bar, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Although familiar, the cracks torn by time are always difficult to mend. At least when Luo Fan saw the local customs and culture again, he felt as if he had been transported to another world...
Along the way, he was in a rather passive state. Most of the time, he just followed in Yingque's footsteps. Whatever Yingque did, he did too. If Yingque did nothing, he would just stand by and do nothing.
The same is true now...
......
I must say, the evening breeze here is so much more comfortable.
The rooftop was already deserted. Yingque's friends had all returned to their rooms to wash up and rest after having fun, but the two of them were still standing by the railing, looking down at the splendor of their homeland at night.
How wonderful! The soft moonlight is like a projector for an old movie, projecting this slightly old-fashioned yet timeless scene before their eyes. Even though the scene they see each night is different, it is like those timeless classics that they never tire of even after watching them a thousand times.
Although the market for love stories is saturated, people still find themselves unconsciously drawn in when they experience them firsthand. Like a fine wine, there are countless brands, countless packages, countless flavors, and there's always one that captivates you. When it finally melts in your mouth, you seem to forget all the effort or money spent on its journey, leaving only a sweet, delightful, and unforgettable aftertaste...
"So why not have a grand wedding? I thought you were really looking forward to this moment."
Luo Fan glanced sideways at the girl beside him, feeling a pang of disappointment.
He'd been preparing for this day for quite a while...
As if prompted to think by a movie plot, Yingque's eyes gradually became unfocused and lost their focus, and the city lights also became illusory and hazy in his eyes.
She murmured, "Hmm...maybe I don't really like this kind of environment. There are too many people, it's too noisy, and my friends will definitely join in the commotion. I'm afraid I won't even be able to stand on the stage and look at you..."
Her cheeks gradually flushed a lovely blush, and the thoughts unique to young girls began to stir within her.
"Moreover, even I noticed that among my classmates, there are a few boys who..."
"Yes, they like you too."
Luo Fan pursed his lips, a strange sense of pride welling up inside him.
In the end, he emerged victorious, and this "victory" was predetermined from the very beginning.
"Yes, there's no need to make things awkward at the end. I don't want to cause you trouble later. Besides, wouldn't it be better if we just left quietly tomorrow...?"
She looked up, and the thought and the unique romantic atmosphere brought a gentle smile to her lips.
"Yes, it's really nice to be quieter. I like it too."
Perhaps, even without a grand wedding, their love story wouldn't be incomplete.
We've already had our time together as a couple, taken photos together, and met each other's parents—all that's missing is...
Luo Fan put one arm around Ying Que's shoulder, while his other hand cautiously reached into his pocket, groping for something...
......
"Holy crap, he reached out! Hurry, hurry, where's the camera?!"
"Here you are, here you are, get up quickly!"
"Hurry up, or we'll end up with not a single photo!"
"Damn it, if I had taken the initiative back then, maybe I would be the one standing there..."
"Get lost! Are you as handsome and rich as him?"
"How dare you talk like that?! Do you think Que'er is only with someone because of their looks and money?!"
......
With Luo Fan's help, Ying Que casually lay down on the railing, like a cat stretching, only without arching its back.
"What's wrong? Tired? Want to go back to sleep?"
Although Luo Fan was a little sleepy, there was something he hadn't had time to do yet...
She rested her head on her hand, shaking it casually. Perhaps thinking there was no one on the rooftop, she didn't even notice that her hair was being slightly disheveled.
But the hotel's rooftop is supposed to be a relaxing place, with a swimming pool, parasols, and a small bar. It's quite strange that even though it's the middle of the night, you can't see anyone around.
"I just wanted to relax a bit..."
"That's it..."
But her eyelids gradually became heavy, making it more difficult to fool others.
......
......
"Que'er?"
She felt her body being slowly swayed, as if some gentle force was trying to awaken her.
It's obvious without even thinking that he's right beside me; who else could it be?
There was...uh..."Ah!!!"
She gasped in surprise, startling Luo Fan so much that he almost dropped the small box he was holding downstairs.
"Holy crap, that was close!"
Luo Fan had to lean almost half his body over the railing to protect the small box in his hand.
......
The two then sat down against the railing, still somewhat frightened by the earlier accident.
"Uh, why didn't you say so sooner...?"
Yingque scratched her face awkwardly, while her other hand gripped the hem of her clothes somewhat uncontrollably.
Luo Fan replied awkwardly, "If I had told you, there wouldn't have been any surprise, and besides, who knew you would react so strongly..."
A premeditated and surprising marriage proposal turned out to be strange.
If the ring had fallen, he would have had to take the elevator back to the second floor, climb out the window, jump onto the barrier to retrieve the ring, and then climb back up...
Fortunately, he managed to get it in his hand, though it was a bit of a close call.
......
"Then, what should we do? Go through the process again?"
"it is good......"
......
The two stood up solemnly, facing each other as if they were standing at attention during military training.
"Que'er, are you willing...?"
"puff!"
Yingque couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
......
Have you ever seen a marriage proposal like this?
"I've never seen anything like this before..."
"This marriage proposal was so good, even my grandfather would have accepted it."
"One's a newbie and the other's a newbie, you should be understanding."
......
Luo Fan raised his hand to cover his eyes. The atmosphere was too strange; he couldn't get into the right mindset at all.
Damn it, I'm here to propose, not for a blind date...
"Ahem! Que'er, are you willing...?"
"Hahahahaha!"
She couldn't help but laugh again.
Not just her, even the people who were secretly taking pictures in the corner were practically living in Bengbu...
Luo Fan was left standing there like a fool, and if the ring on his hand had an expression, it would probably be full of contempt for him.
"I, hahaha...I'm willing, hahahahaha!"
However, she hadn't laughed so happily in a long time...
It seems that this situation isn't too bad...
However, Luo Fan still felt extremely embarrassed and could only take Ying Que's hand and put the ring on his finger.
Why are you acting so reluctant when it's just about wearing a ring...?
But as he forced himself to put the ring on her slender ring finger, he looked up and saw...
It turns out, she was the one who was always on point...
Her smile lingered, but that unique gentleness now permeated every inch of her skin. That serene smile was like a whirlpool in the deep sea, slowly drawing his lost boat into it. Unable to struggle, unable to escape, he simply raised his eyes for one last look at the stars on the sea, and then, utterly sank into the depths...
Seeing that she was in the mood, the cheap awkwardness vanished without a trace. He was willing to offer her his most sincere love, and this ring was the first medium.
From then on, they stayed together forever...
......
"Hurry up and take the picture, this is the perfect shot!"
"They're filming!"
"Hey, wait a minute, are they going to...?"
"Oh oh oh oh oh! Ready, ready, ready!"
"Why are you getting so worked up? It's not like you're the one being kissed."
"I've been taking care of Yingque ever since we were assigned to the same dorm. I'm practically her mother, so can't I get a little emotional?!"
"What are you talking about?!"
"Some people are getting anxious. Some people are getting anxious."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I am the King of Hurry!"
......
Donghuang Time, June 2, 2021, 2:35 AM
And so, they kissed...
He finally mustered his courage and hugged her like this. No matter what he had done or who he was now, he wanted to put all that behind him. All he wanted to do now was kiss her.
He will always remember this extraordinary day.
