The surroundings were so quiet that all he could hear was the ticking of the wall clock and the sound of his own rapid breathing.

It was just after one o’clock in the morning when Ji Hongyi left. No one would come to rescue him at this point. It would be a waste of energy to knock on the door.

Sitting in the chair, Han Chi could clearly feel the virus spreading throughout his body. He had experienced this strange feeling that could not be expressed in words three years ago.

His body began to get hot, his throat began to itch, he coughed unconsciously, and his forehead kept sweating.

Han Chi stared at the night with his eyes open, but his mind began to become confused uncontrollably.

A lot of things from a long, long time ago began to appear in his mind, things that he didn’t dare to think about but often dreamed of.

On July 14, 2022, he was finally free after being busy in the university, so it was time to find a way to make Shanshan happy. A few days ago, it happened to be the seventh anniversary of their relationship, but there were so many things to do that he didn’t remember it at all. He was also busy the previous day and suddenly remembered the anniversary, no wonder Shanshan would be sulking and ignore him on the day off.

Therefore, he planned to prepare a surprise for Shanshan at home that day.

Han Chi looked at his watch repeatedly. At 6:11 p.m, Shanshan should have got off work, and it was estimated that she had reached the subway station by this time.

He looked at the candlelight dinner he had carefully arranged on the living room table, and a smile crept up the corner of his mouth quietly.

He paced back and forth in the living room nervously, and suddenly felt that the marriage proposal he just thought of was not so perfect. He quickly opened the prepared diamond ring and started practicing in front of the mirror, “Shanshan, it was my fault forgetting our seventh anniversary. Shanshan, we have already been dating for seven years, marry me.”

After that, Han Chi shook his head, “No, no, it’s too dry.” Alas, the brain of a science student couldn’t think of anything more romantic.

Han Chi thought for a while, and then began to practice in front of the mirror with a serious expression, “Shanshan, it is my luck to meet you in this lifetime. Whether you like it or not, I will love you and protect you for the rest of my life. Shanshan, marry me.”

Han Chi still shook his head dissatisfied. He always felt that it was too nauseous, not like his style.

He was about to continue organizing his words when the sound of the door lock being twisted came from the entrance. When he looked at his watch, it was 6:30 p.m.

Han Chi hurriedly stood at the door respectfully like a hotel doorman, waiting for his girlfriend to open the door and come in.

As soon as He Yunshan opened the door, she saw her boyfriend standing at the door like a wooden stake, and couldn’t help laughing, “Why are you standing at the door like a log? Like a fool.”

Seeing that her boyfriend didn’t answer, He Yunshan carried the leather bag and bent over to change her shoes at the entrance. Seeing that, Han Chi hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and took the bag from his girlfriend’s hand.

He Yunshan was obviously startled, and teased, “Yo, the sun is coming out from the west. It’s good that you took the initiative to take your girlfriend’s bag.”

When He Yunshan said that, Han Chi scratched his head embarrassedly. He was really too much in the past. Not considerate enough, he even ignored such a small thing.

He Yunshan changed her shoes and walked into the living room. When she saw the candlelight dinner carefully prepared by Han Chi on the dining table, she immediately squinted at Han Chi, who was standing obediently beside her, “What? Is today’s day worth celebrating?”

He Yunshan actually guessed a bit in her heart. A few days ago, Han Chi forgot their seventh anniversary, so she was sulky for two days about that. Han Chi also stupidly asked her why she was suddenly sulking. When she heard that, she became even more angry, and she held it back for a whole day without saying a word to him.

He probably remembered it today, so he specially prepared a candlelight dinner to apologize.

“Surprise, I’ll tell you later.” Han Chi cheerfully pushed He Yunshan to the dining table, held up a chair for her in a very gentlemanly manner, and made a serious “please” gesture.

He Yunshan was really amused by him, and she said generously, “Okay, I forgive you.”

Han Chi smiled embarrassedly, “It’s my fault to forget our anniversary. Here, I solemnly apologize to Miss Shanshan. I promise there will never be a next time.”

“What if there is a next time?” He Yunshan looked at Han Chi’s cute appearance and couldn’t help but tease him.

He stood on the spot and thought for a while, and answered very seriously, “Then I will turn into a horse for Miss Shanshan.”

“Really?”

“Really, really.”

“That’s about the same,” He Yunshan looked at him with a smile, turned her head to look at the dinner on the table, and let him go for the time being.

Han Chi hurriedly sat down on the other side. 

Halfway through the meal, Han Chi suddenly took out the diamond ring he had prepared and opened it, knelt down on one knee, and said the proposal he had been brewing for a long time, “Shanshan, I love you. I love the way you smile, the way you lie in bed, the way you look in a daze, the way you look sleepy. I love everything about you. Shanshan, I want to spend the rest of my life taking care of you. Will you marry me?”

Well, he had to admit that this marriage proposal, which he had been brewing for a long time, was still so mediocre.
