Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Liu Ou was still smiling at them through the video call.

But behind her approached Lin Yu, carrying a large bouquet of flowers.

They weren't red roses but balloon flowers, Luo Yanran knew these were Liu Ou's favorite flowers.

Lin Yu, who was holding his phone on a stand to video call Luo Yanran and the others, also paused for a moment when he saw Liu Ou.

But it was just for a moment. Now that he was already seen, he couldn't just walk back, could he?

He might as well let it be, as there were now two more witnesses.

Liu Ou knew Luo Yanran too well. Though she tried to control her facial expression, her hand reached out at an angle Liu Ou couldn't see, grabbing Xie Xiao's pants.

Yet Liu Ou could still tell something was off with her expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Her tone was somewhat worried, "Luoluo, are you feeling unwell?"

Luo Yanran blinked her eyes, shaking her head, "Not at all."

Xie Xiao, knowing she never lied, was already sitting next to Luo Yanran smiling, as Lin Yu moved closer from behind Liu Ou.

She needed to distract her friend somehow amidst the unfolding scene.

"She just didn't sleep well last night, you have no idea she has been working overtime every day recently, and she doesn't eat well..."

Liu Ou stared at her friend's face on the screen, which actually looked quite good.

But Xie Xiao's complaints sound just too genuine.

She said, "Luoluo, you're not eating well again..."

Footsteps sounded from behind, probably Lin Yu coming out.

Liu Ou turned around just wanting to tell Lin Yu about Xie Xiao and her video call. Find more chapters on empire

But upon turning around, she saw the beautiful flowers and was greeted by a fragrant smell.

Most of her face was buried in the flowers.

Liu Ou paused for a moment, taken aback.

Lin Yu did not expect her to turn suddenly; he had planned on handing the flowers to her from the side.

Seeing her face buried in the flowers, he couldn't help laughing, then pulled the flowers back a bit, "Are you okay?"

Liu Ou blinked, as if just realizing what happened, and looked up at Lin Yu holding the flowers, "For me?"

Meanwhile, the two people on the screen were as quiet as if they weren't there.

Lin Yu's voice was filled with a laugh, "Who else?"

Liu Ou reached out to take them, her lips curling up, "They are beautiful."

Suddenly, Lin Yu knelt down before her.

Liu Ou was taken completely off guard, exclaimed, "What's happening?"

She hadn't realized what was happening and immediately stood up to help Lin Yu.

Lin Yu just pushed her hand away, then pulled out a ring box from his pocket.

Luo Yanran on the other side tightened her grip on Xie Xiao's hand, feeling the angle was all wrong, unable to see Hai Ou's expression!

Xie Xiao found her more nervous than if she were the one being proposed to, which was somewhat amusing, but both didn't dare make a sound, fearing they might interrupt the proposal.

After Lin Yu knelt, he himself was bewildered. He blinked and looked up at Liu Ou, "What should I say? Marry me?"

After speaking, he laughed helplessly, his voice losing confidence, "What do I do, honey? I'm nervous..."

From the initial confusion, Liu Ou had figured out Lin Yu's intentions by now.

She blinked and immediately extended her hand, saw the ring on her finger, and gently took it off herself, "Come on, don't be nervous."

She was nervous too, but that's just Liu Ou.

Lin Yu looked at that face trying to appear calm. From such a small body always came the habit of standing in the commanding position, then helping those around her shoulder all the risks.

She was truly captivating.

Whenever she desired something, she would boldly take the first step.

Lin Yu had never imagined that between them, she would be the one to confess her feelings formally first, even proposing marriage before he did.

Even now, as he was genuinely nervous, kneeling in front of her, she simply stretched out her hand, smiled at him, and said, "Don't be nervous."

Lin Yu's heart was beating so fast, he felt it might leap out of his chest.

"Wife, I had looked up many romantic lines for proposals before, and honestly, I still remember them, but now I suddenly don't want to say them." He smiled, reached out to take Liu Ou's hand, and kissed her ring finger. "I won't say much else, just look at me, just like this, I won't let you down. And remember, I love you very much. Even if we are miles apart, I will think of you every day."

He raised his eyes to meet Liu Ou's gaze, filled with infatuation, "I am a kite held in your hands; don't let go, no matter how high or far I am, just call me back, and I will return."

Lin Yu was never very good at saying romantic things, especially compared to Xie Xiao, he considered himself quite poor at it.

Because of this, he almost had a falling out even with someone as good-tempered as Xie Xiao.

Although they made up later.

But Lin Yu always knew his limitations.

Yet, he also didn't think it was such a bad thing, especially now, kneeling in front of Liu Ou. He realized that despite years spent reading books, his words were still impoverished, and he could not articulate any grandiose phrases even while proposing marriage.

He sighed internally, yet he clearly knew Liu Ou would never reject him, which gave him a bit more confidence.

Sure enough, Liu Ou waved her hand in front of him, "Put the ring on me first; I haven't seen the ring yet,"

her tone was mostly dissatisfied, "I know it, you had it custom-made secretly, didn't you?"

Lin Yu exclaimed, then turned to look at his cellphone on the side.

Xie Xiao: ??? What are you looking at me for?

No need to ask, it was apparent he was looking at him.

Liu Ou, discontented, said, "Are you going to put it on or not? Are you having regrets?"

Lin Yu hurriedly scrambled to place the ring on her finger.

The ring was a simple design, the diamond setting was shaped like a little kite, with irregular wire patterns.

Just the kite and the line.

It represented the romantic words Lin Yu wanted to say but could not express.

Liu Ou's long eyelashes concealed the emotions in her eyes.

But her gaze remained fixed on the ring, then she suddenly said, "Alright, now the bride may kiss her groom..."

She then bent down and kissed Lin Yu on the lips.

She didn't mind that there was an audience on the other end of the phone.

At that moment, although she hadn't heard soul-stirring romantic words,

she knew she had gained the most important promise in the world.

The boy in front of her always seemed casually unconcerned yet imposing.

Although he has become much more mature now, she knew he was still that boy.

He was sincere and kind, appearing as if he didn't care about anyone, a typical 'I'm the best' attitude.

But in truth, he was the softest at heart.

And, he loved her the most.

Liu Ou never doubted that Lin Yu would always love her.

Even if she felt insecure at times, she just believed he would return.

Lin Yu was still kneeling on the ground, looking up at Liu Ou as they kissed.

Liu Ou held his face, their foreheads pressed together, softly yet earnestly saying, "Come back soon and marry me."
