Chapter 301: Su Ruo Agrees to Marry

"Thank you!" Su Ruo smiled and thanked Er Ya; after she figured it out, she felt much more relaxed.

It seemed as if the pressure on her vanished instantly; only then did Su Ruo realize that deep down, she also wanted to marry Song Jingyu.

That's why she wavered and felt lost, suffered and hesitated; if it weren't for her feelings, she would have refused outright without hesitation, never thinking so much.

Su Ruo waved her hand like a magician, pulling out a few candies from her pocket and giving them to Er Ya, pinching her cheek and saying: "It's late, hurry back! Otherwise Dean Mom won't be able to find you and will worry."

Er Ya gave Su Ruo an annoyed glance and ran off without looking back; these adults always act this way—when they need her, they tell her to be obedient and sensible.

Once they no longer need her, they treat her like a child, even though she's clearly grown up and not a child anymore.

Er Ya, who was no longer a child, thought that, peeled a candy and put it in her mouth; her eyes instantly lit up—"Mmm, sweet!" No wonder her younger brother always begged for it; the candy really is delicious.

Er Ya carefully put the remaining candies away, slipping them into her pocket; she intended to save them to eat later with her sister and brother, who would surely like them.

Su Ruo woke up, yawned, and pushed open the window; just as she was about to stretch, she saw this scene, hurried over to Song Jingyu and asked: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?"

Until Su Ruo murmured: "Although I've agreed to marry you, I must first ask Li Zhaodi and An'an; you know they're my family, and my marriage needs their consent—if they disagree, I won't marry you."

Su Ruo seemed especially fond of teasing him; whenever she saw him nervous, her mood lifted and her smile grew brighter and more radiant.

The light enveloped the two of them, as if isolating them in a Small World unseen by anyone; under the glow of countless stars, the scene before them burst with breathtaking beauty.

While washing up, Su Ruo reminded Song Jingyu not to do such things again, saying she could have breakfast at the cafeteria, which wasn't far away.

Su Ruo walked over smiling to Song Jingyu, who looked at her; his clear, bright eyes seemed to hold a vast starry sky.

At that moment, the man embraced a bouquet of flowers, standing under the dim yellow streetlamp, his tall posture stretched long by the light, the warm glow adding a touch of warmth; everything was so beautiful that one couldn't look away.

Su Ruo watched Er Ya run off before leaving, but as soon as she turned around she saw Song Jingyu waiting there.

Song Jingyu's heart suddenly began to pound violently; he had always been cautious, afraid to say those words, knowing Su Ruo's aversion to marriage and fearing that if he spoke, even their current situation might not be sustained.

Su Ruo's pure white dress fluttered like a butterfly in the night as Song Jingyu moved.

Su Ruo stopped teasing him, smiling and saying: "Song Jingyu, I've decided—I want to marry you."

Song Jingyu's pupils contracted sharply; he stared at Su Ruo in disbelief, never expecting her to truly agree to marry him.

He wanted to confirm with Su Ruo personally, as only then could he feel at ease, proving that last night's events weren't a dream, yet he was also afraid of getting a negative answer.

Song Jingyu's hands tightened slightly; he very much wanted to ask Su Ruo whether what she said last night was true and whether it counted.

That night, Su Ruo also had a beautiful, beautiful dream, while Song Jingyu stayed awake all night, excited; though he was usually mature and calm, he tried every method that night but still couldn't stop his racing heart.

Song Jingyu's eyes lit up instantly; he swept Su Ruo into his arms and held her tightly.

"This idiot!" Su Ruo thought to herself, seeing no one around, she hurriedly pulled Song Jingyu into her dormitory.

"Are you waiting for me?" Su Ruo placed her hands behind her back, looked up at Song Jingyu and smiled; her pure white dress swayed in the night breeze.

That night, the girl who had never eaten candy, holding those few candies, had a very sweet, very sweet dream.

Song Jingyu looked at Su Ruo, his voice trembling with excitement.

Song Jingyu didn't know how long he had waited outside; the morning dampness hung as tiny dewdrops on his long eyelashes.

Song Jingyu truly feared Su Ruo would change her mind; although he understood her and knew she wasn't that sort of person, he was still very nervous, very nervous.

When Song Jingyu heard these words spoken directly from Su Ruo's mouth, he could no longer contain his excitement, he lifted her up and spun her around.

Song Jingyu ultimately couldn't withstand such teasing; with red ears, he shoved the flowers in his hand into Su Ruo's embrace: "Here, for you."

Su Ruo could feel Song Jingyu's muscles all over his body, as if they were all tensed together.

The fresh fragrance of the flowers instantly surrounded Su Ruo's nose; she lifted her eyes, smiling, and asked: "Are you proposing to me?"

But at that moment, as these words came from Su Ruo's mouth, Song Jingyu knew she was about to make a decision; instantly his nervous heart pounded like a drum, as if it might burst from his chest.

He held Su Ruo tightly, tightly, as if fearing that if he let go, she would vanish.

Consequently, the next morning he waited early at Su Ruo's dormitory door, thoughtfully bringing her breakfast.

Until Su Ruo's soft lips lightly covered his, Song Jingyu only then suddenly awoke.

Su Ruo had intended to lightly touch and then pull away, but Song Jingyu instead firmly wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close in his embrace, anxiously asking: "What did you say?"

Song Jingyu's ears were slightly red; embarrassed to let Su Ruo know he hadn't slept all night, he said: "It's still early, so I didn't wake you."

Song Jingyu looked at Su Ruo, nervously tightening his grip on the flowers in his hand; the words he had prepared now wouldn't come out at all.

He just stood there, at a distance neither far nor near from Su Ruo, letting her approach whenever she wished; but if she didn't want to, he would never press closer.

But the breakfast he kept in his pocket remained warm.

Before this, Song Jingyu truly feared it was all just his dream—that upon waking, nothing would remain—so he simply dared not sleep.

But he also feared that Su Ruo would regret it upon waking; now, receiving another affirmative answer from her, Song Jingyu's hanging heart finally settled.

He said firmly: "I will surely strive to treat you well, strive to make them like me, strive to gain their approval for our marriage."
