An Xiaxia never considered the possibility that this had been arranged by Sheng Yize. She sighed in amazement."I like it, but whose fireworks are those? It's such a waste of money. All those fireworks must be worth a lot of crayfish..."
Crayfish, crayfish... can you forget about crayfish for a minute?!
Sheng Yize fought back his urge to explode and played along."You're right. That's so wasteful."
Heh.
He wasn't going to tell her now that he was the one who had ordered all those fireworks.
The mood was dampened a little after that. An Xiaxia emptied her plate first, then moved on to stealing Sheng Yize's steak.
Sheng Yize gave her a wistful look."Xiaxia, haven't you had... a little too much to eat?"
An Xiaxia gazed at him with teary eyes."So... you don't want me now?"
Sob... she should never believe anything men said. She only ate a little more than usual and he was giving up on her...
"... I don't want you to have a stomachache, that's all."
"I won't... I'm not full yet."
Seeing the aggrieved look on her face, Sheng Yize gave up. He waved his hand at her and said, "Go ahead."
He could afford it, no matter how much she ate.
After gobbling down a third of the steak, An Xiaxia finally put down her knife and rubbed her belly."It feels so nice to have a full stomach."
Sheng Yize smiled."It's going to get better."
"Huh?"
He clapped his hands and a waiter, who had been waiting for the signal, walked out with a multi-layered cake on a trolley. In the center of the cake were two figurines, of a knight kneeling before a princess.
And the knight was holding a ring.
An Xiaxia was still trying to figure out if the ring was edible when Sheng Yize went up to her, knelt down on one knee, and held up an identical ring.
It was a shiny, exquisite and beautiful diamond ring.
An Xiaxia sat there dazed. Sheng Yize's deep, pleasant voice then rang in her ears."Xiaxia, are you listening to me?"
"Ah... yes!"
Sheng Yize cleared his throat and gazed at her. The love in his black eyes was beyond all doubt.
"I met you for the first time at six in Sunset Town.
"At seven, we began to live together and you became my only childhood sweetheart.
"We were separated for nine years when I was eight.
"I met you again when I was 17 and I moved into your house.
"We became a couple when I was 18. I loved you, very much.
"At 26, we fell in love again, we got married, and we had Cola and Pepsi. I've always loved you. That has never changed."
"..."
An Xiaxia listened in a daze and didn't even realize it when tears welled up in her eyes.
Sheng Yize held up the diamond ring."Xiaxia, will you marry me?"
Many said that women tended to focus on formality and were more emotional by nature.
They might have a point.
Although the proposal was to make up for the lack of a wedding ceremony, An Xiaxia's face was still streaked with tears. She broke into spasmodic sobs as she said, "Hm... yes."
Sheng Yize smiled, the tear mole under his eye looking all the more mesmerizing.
He took An Xiaxia's hand and put the diamond ring on her finger.
It fit perfectly.
The fireworks were splendid outside while a loving tune played inside.
Sheng Yize rose to his feet, raised An Xiaxia's chin, and kissed her on the lips.
An Xiaxia's eyelashes quivered and she closed her eyes, letting Sheng Yize have his way. She then wrapped her arms around Sheng Yize's neck, which pleased him greatly and prompted him to deepen that kiss. An Xiaxia could barely take it in the end and she slumped in Sheng Yize's arms. Her eyes were glassy and she gasped for breath.
Sheng Yize's voice was husky when he said, "I don't think I'll be able to stop myself tonight..."
