Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Alright, I'll wait for you."

Li Jianjia replied with a message very quickly.

These days Wang Xiaohua had been encouraging her constantly, letting her walk out of her depression.

Life seemed to have expectation again.

In the blink of an eye it was past nine in the evening.

Wang Xiaohua came out of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Beigang Village in University Town.

"Come on, I'll take you to a place."

Upon seeing Li Jianjia, Wang Xiaohua took her hand, turned around, and walked off.

"Xiaohua, where are you taking me?"

Li Jianjia asked with curiosity.

"You'll know when we get there!"

Wang Xiaohua led Li Jianjia out of the urban village, across the campus road, to the ferry pier by the Outer Ring.

"Hurry up if you're boarding, the last ferry!"

At the pier, a manager was shouting.

"Wait for us!"

Wang Xiaohua shouted at the manager.

Then he hurriedly brought Li Jianjia onto the boat.

This ferry goes to a place called Xinzao on the opposite bank.

Over there is an abandoned granary that has now been turned into an internet-famous check-in spot.

Inside there are quite a few entertainment venues.

Bars, restaurants, riverside da paidang, and so on.

Wang Xiaohua led Li Jianjia inside.

"This place is quite far from the subway entrance; how do we get back later?"

Li Jianjia was still worrying about the return trip.

Wang Xiaohua smiled and said:

"No need to worry about that, we just keep walking forward."

Li Jianjia felt it was inexplicable, not knowing where Wang Xiaohua was taking her.

An alley appeared ahead.

On both sides of the alley, under bright lights, pink balloons were hung everywhere.

Wang Xiaohua led Li Jianjia over; only then did Li Jianjia discover that many photos were also hung on both walls.

Those photos were all their group pictures, recording the bits and pieces of their journey together.

"This..."

Li Jianjia was stunned.

Looking at the photos on both sides, her mind went a bit blank.

"Don't worry, just follow me onward."

Wang Xiaohua gripped Li Jianjia's hand tighter and continued forward.

Under the starlight, the river breeze brushed their faces.

The two walked through the long alley.

Arriving at a qing bar near the riverbank.

This place had long been booked out by Wang Dashan, the venue arranged in advance.

A huge heart-shaped archway stood before the two of them.

Warm music started playing.

Lights lit up section by section inside.

Wang Xiaohua escorted Li Jianjia inside.

"Jianjia, there's a sentence I've actually always wanted to say to you."

Wang Xiaohua, looking slightly nervous, spoke these words.

After all, proposing was something he was doing for the first time too.

"What sentence? You say it."

Li Jianjia looked at Wang Xiaohua, her eyes full of expectation.

Having come this far, she already knew Wang Xiaohua was going to propose to her.

But even with psychological preparation, she was equally nervous.

"I want to say..."

At this moment, someone on the opposite bank suddenly set off fireworks.

The sound of fireworks exploding interrupted Wang Xiaohua's words.

Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, brief yet dazzling.

Fireworks fell, and countless twinkling stars suddenly appeared in the night sky.

It was a formation composed of many drones.

The drone formation, carrying lights, formed a line of words in the night:

"I love you, Jianjia"

Seeing such subtitles suddenly appear in the night sky, Li Jianjia couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

She knew Wang Xiaohua was going to propose to her.

But she hadn't expected Wang Xiaohua would propose in this way.

At that time drones had just started out and weren't very mature yet; to arrange such subtitles in the night sky would probably cost not a little money to hire a professional team to operate.

"Jianjia, will you marry me!"

Li Jianjia was still looking up at the night sky in a daze when Wang Xiaohua took out the engagement ring he had prepared in advance and knelt on one knee.

Li Jianjia turned her head; tears were already flowing down uncontrollably.

She was so excited she was at a loss for a moment.

So she didn't answer right away.

At this moment, Wang Xiaohua's group of relatives and friends walked out of the Qing Bar.

"Say yes, say yes!"

Wang Dashan, Du Xiaojuan, Wang Erhai, Zhang Yueran, as well as Wang Zhanggen, Li Xiulan, were all laughing, clapping, and shouting "Say yes".

Seeing Wang Xiaohua's whole family had come, Li Jianjia was even more moved.

"With my family situation like this now, aren't you afraid I'll burden you?"

Li Jianjia actually already knew the answer, but still asked.

Wang Xiaohua's answer was very firm:

"Still that sentence, no need to worry, you just follow me and walk on."

Wang Xiaohua looked at Li Jianjia and said again:

"Jianjia, I'll protect you for a lifetime, no matter what you become, I'll still love you as at the beginning, will you marry me!"

"I do!"

Li Jianjia finally spoke those three words.

She reached out her finger.

Wang Xiaohua put the ring on for her.

The two embraced.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically together.

"Haha, finally settled a worry of this old man!"

Seeing Wang Xiaohua's proposal to Li Jianjia succeed, Wang Zhanggen was beaming with joy.

He sincerely felt happy for his own son, felt proud.

This youngest son of ours, not only has culture, but also responsibility; didn't abandon her when the girlfriend was at her most difficult, kept his conscience!

"This proposal ceremony must have cost not a little money, right."

Li Xiulan, while happy for her youngest son, also cared about tonight's expenses.

"Mom, didn't spend much, just ten thousand yuan or so."

Wang Dashan hurriedly explained.

"Really?"

Li Xiulan didn't quite believe it.

"Really only spent ten thousand yuan or so; I helped Third Brother arrange the venue, however much was spent I have it all calculated!"

Wang Dashan said so.

But actually, this time just hiring the drone team alone cost over a hundred thousand.

No choice, "I love you, Jianjia", these five characters have too many strokes, needed more drones.

This was still them giving a discount on Du Xiaojuan's face, otherwise it wouldn't be this cheap.

Additionally the whole Qing Bar booking, venue arrangement, and fireworks, all added up, also cost not a little.

"Over ten thousand isn't little either; tonight Xiaohua proposed, spent is spent, but in the future still need to be thrifty with spending, money isn't easy to earn."

Li Xiulan had been frugal all her life, so she felt a pang when spending money.

"Got it, Mom!"

Wang Dashan laughed and agreed.

Du Xiaojuan then laughed and said: "Mom, rest assured, I'll watch Dashan for you, he doesn't dare spend money recklessly!"

On the other side, Zhang Yueran seeing this scene was also moved.

"This kind of scene, probably only appears in TV dramas."

Wang Erhai laughed:

"You want one? If you want, I'll arrange one for you later too."

Zhang Yueran however said:

"Better not, I'm rather socially anxious, a crowd surrounding me, I'd be very nervous."

Wang Erhai then said:

"All family, what's there to fear?"

Zhang Yueran at this moment suddenly asked in a low voice:

"If I say I don't even want to hold a wedding ceremony, your parents wouldn't have objections, would they?"

Wang Erhai was stunned, and asked in a low voice:

"Why don't you want to handle it?"

Zhang Yueran replied in a low voice:

"Afraid of the trouble. Taking the money for the wedding ceremony, the two of us going traveling, isn't that more worthwhile?"

Wang Erhai nodded:

"Reasonable."
