When Cheng Nuo appeared in front of Chen Yan with a ring and proposed marriage, Chen Yan finally believed Murphy's Law: the probability of being proposed to after a breakup was greater than the probability of Cheng Nuo, whom she once liked, suddenly going crazy.
"I like you."
"I regret my decision to go abroad twelve years ago. Standing in front of you today, I still regret it. Yanyan, I should stay and stay by your side. In this way, when one day you want to fall in love, I can stand up and say to you without hesitation, "Yanyan, fall in love with me." "Yanyan, what do you think of me? Am I suitable to be your love partner? ", Or I don't say anything and just kiss you gently. No matter what, I will be your girlfriend and the only one who will accompany you every day of your long life. But, I messed everything up. Yanyan, I personally pushed you to Cheng Xia."
"In the eight years you and Cheng Xia were together, every year you would post a few posts about the two of you on WeChat Moments. Sometimes it was about where you went to play, sometimes it was about where you went to eat delicious food, sometimes it was about which movie you watched, sometimes it was just strolling on the street... And many, many others. Through my cousin, I know them all."
"..."
"You don't have to agree to my proposal and confession, but I hope you can give me a chance to pursue you again."
Cheng Nuo's confession was like a scalpel cutting open a time capsule, and Chen Yan was shocked to realize that the girl who chose to leave without saying a word had already pressed the countdown.
Inexplicably reborn and returned to the year after the college entrance examination, Chen Yan discovered that her fate had omitted to write down a key comment, because Cheng Nuo, who was supposed to travel across the ocean, did not leave, but became her college roommate; the next year, her first love, who had said they would spend time together and never see each other, turned out to be a school girl one grade below her. This was not counting, because before that, she had also gone to meet her first love; and the most terrible thing was that her childhood sweetheart took out the ring twelve years in advance.
"I will confess first this time." Cheng Nuo handed the ring to Chen Yan, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes that he had never seen before: "When I was a child, you always stood up to protect me. Can I do it now? Yan Yan, you once said you would take me to see the aurora, and I have been waiting."
"Now, can you fulfill your promise?"
——
(Final chapter from Cheng Nuo's perspective)
Chen Yan opened the ring box under the aurora and knelt down on one knee. Cheng Nuo suddenly remembered that when they were twelve years old, they squatted under the sycamore tree to bury the dead cicada. Little Chen Yan said, "It would be great if I could do it all over again."
At that time, she secretly buried the glass bottle with the words "I want to marry Qingmei" in the soil.
Now, she can finally plant the vow back on the other person's ring finger.
Purpose: Love yourself first, then love others
