Growing Up Together
From middle school into the future, we're lucky we never left each other's side.
Yang Yan didn't know that one chance glance in the stairwell would end in a lifetime of happiness.
Li Qingyang didn't know that someone who seemed so far out of reach would become the most important person in his life.
"Yanyan, would you marry this Li Qingyang, who's been a jerk since we were little, has nothing, runs his mouth, constantly teases you, and has made you cry, but has always loved seeing you smile? I'm not very romantic, but I really, really love you." His words came out haltingly with nerves, and by the end his voice was almost breaking into a sob.
Seeing Li Qingyang's eyes grow slightly red, Yang Yan began to cry even harder. She knew that this man loved her just as much as she loved him.
After calming herself down, Yang Yan finally spoke:
"I don't think you're a jerk. Even though we bicker all the time, I'm really happy, especially when I leave you speechless." Yang Yan couldn't help laughing a little as she said this.
Seeing her smile, Li Qingyang smiled too. Both of them had red-rimmed eyes, but they could see the love in each other's eyes.
"You've always been hardworking. You may not have made it big in your career yet, but to me, your drive matters more than anything. Who says you have nothing? You've always had me. I've thought you were handsome since we were little, so I never wanted to lose you. You're so handsome, just looking at you makes me happy."
"So, Li Qingyang, Yang Yan is willing to marry you. Will you put the ring on the hand of this Yang Yan who loves you so, so much?" As she spoke, she held out her hand.
Eyes red, Li Qingyang clasped her hand and quickly slipped on the ring. Then he stood up and swept Yang Yan into his arms, as if he couldn't bear to wait another second.
Theme: Warmth, companionship, and making each other better.
