Chapter 463: Chapter 463

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows with interest, "Oh? Then why were you in such a hurry just now?"

"I meant to say..." Shen Dang paused on purpose, "you don’t have to come all the way, I will walk towards you."

Love is not one-sided.

It is the mutual effort of two people.

She takes one step towards him, and he will take the remaining ninety-nine steps towards her.

Qiao Xi’s already restless heart was overturned by his common vow of love.

Qiao Xi found that he was indeed good at speaking sweet nothings.

She didn’t know how to reply at the moment.

Shen Dang led her to the circular stage.

The twinkle lights were flickering above her head, and her eyes seemed to sparkle along with them.

Suddenly, Shen Dang laughed, his handsome features becoming even more irresistible because of that smile.

Qiao Xi, puzzled, asked, "What are you laughing at?"

He gently touched the tip of her eyelid with his finger, his voice blended with a heavy laughter, "Your eyes are like stars."

Qiao Xi lost her voice.

Was he complimenting her or what?

Shen Dang leisurely added, "They have stars in them when they look at me."

That sly man, he was complimenting himself.

Qiao Xi laughed out of exasperation.

The people secretly watching from the shadows, "..."

Should they get to the main point now?

Why were they still making idle chit-chat?

They were dying of impatience!

The night deepened around them, shining brightly. On the riverfront, many people’s voices, when carried over by the wind, became blurred.

They seemed to be in another world.

Qiao Xi lifted her gaze, curved her eyes and asked, "Did you bring me here just to see the view? Aren’t there other people?"

She was knowingly asking.

The photographer, not wanting to spoil the mood, hid behind the trellis, leaving only the camera lens peeking out to film them.

It was like they were the only two people left.

Shen Dang said nonchalantly, "What do you think?"

This man was being elusive again.

"I’m not guessing!" Qiao Xi glared at him, her gaze faintly shimmering, "Well, the scenery’s seen. I should go back now."

That’s what she said, but she didn’t move.

And her hand was still firmly held by Shen Dang, it was impossible for her to walk away.

Shen Dang suddenly called her.

It was a serious tone, filled with affection.

His voice was so pleasing that merely calling her name sounded so intimate.

Qiao Xi didn’t speak.

Shen Dang’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he said in his charming voice, "Before you came here, I prepared many lines, but at the moment I saw you, all those words fell apart."

He was incredibly serious now.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips but still did not speak.

Shen Dang stood in front of her, his gaze earnest and doting, "I feel the word ’love’ is very heavy, but I still want to say..."

"Qiao Xi, I love you."

The wind around them and even the voices from the riverfront seemed to halt at that second.

Qiao Xi couldn’t hear a thing.

Only Shen Dang’s words echoed in her mind.

— I love you, will you marry me?

For some reason, Qiao Xi’s eyes suddenly became moist.

It felt as if she had waited for this moment for a very long time.

And now the day had finally arrived.

Qiao Xi looked at Shen Dang, her gaze clear and serious, her bright pupils as if filled with stars, vividly reflecting his figure.

Shen Dang’s thin lips curved into a slight, faint smile.

His eyes were hopeful and tense.

He felt tonight was an especially fitting and natural opportunity.

It was something he had thought about for a long time, a proposal that would provide her with the greatest sense of security and a memory that they could look back on through the show "How Can I Not Be Moved."

Not just their friends, family, and acquaintances, but the whole world would witness their love.

Her hand was still cradled in his, their hands—a perfect fit.

Qiao Xi’s gaze slowly shifted to Shen Dang’s face.

There was nothing for her to object to.

There was no hesitation.

Qiao Xi’s eyes were unwavering.

Those three words were enough for Shen Dang.

Shen Dang placed her hand over his heart, one arm wrapped around her waist to pull her into his embrace, and he bent down to kiss her.

When their silhouettes merged together, fireworks burst into the sky, their brilliant light illuminating much of Hai City.

The crowd on the riverfront erupted.

"Holy shit, someone’s setting off fireworks!"

"Those fireworks are so beautiful!" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

"Look, look, the fireworks spell out Qiao Xi!"

"The words changed! It’s ’I love you, I love you!’"

One firework after another exploded, seemingly never to cease.

The sounds of the fireworks or possibly someone’s pounding heartbeat filled the lovely night.

Shen Dang kissed Qiao Xi devotedly, and she had already closed her eyes.

From this moment on, she was intoxicated by him.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap..."

Suddenly, applause broke out around them.

Qiao Xi snapped back to reality and quickly pushed Shen Dang aside to look around.

Her friends, Su Tutu, Xie Baola, Qu Jiashu, Chen Jiayan, and others...

Including artists she had collaborated with, and some of the show’s staff had arrived.

Qiao Xi was startled, then moved.

Shen Dang had invited all the people who he felt were on good terms with her, among them, Jiang Yongge was smiling the brightest.

Qiao Xi replied subconsciously, looking towards Shen Dang.

A drone suddenly flew up beside Shen Dang.

He took a velvet box from it.

As the drone rose, a thousand more drones arrived in the sky, forming a trail in the night air.

It was an unprecedented number of drones.

Everyone’s eyes followed them.

Qiao Xi’s gaze was also drawn.

The drone lights lit up, circling in mid-air as if ready for action.

Qiao Xi’s heart could not be undisturbed.

Then, the drones formed the shape of a diamond ring.

From Qiao Xi’s perspective, that bright diamond in the sky was crystal clear.

It seemed to be waiting for someone.

In Qiao Xi’s eyes, a thousand drones again transformed the image in the sky.

Qiao Xi watched intently as a gigantic diamond ring slid onto a ring finger against the sky.

The luminescent drones looked more like a splendid galaxy.

And they were reflected in everyone’s eyes.

Shen Dang had woven a magnificent scene of a world for Qiao Xi.

Shen Dang had knelt down at some point, on one knee, in a pose of solemn reverence before her.

When Qiao Xi looked his way, Shen Dang presented the ring from the box.

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes, her long lashes fluttering.

The ring radiated a bright light in her eyes.

"I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Shen Dang held up the ring.

He said, "I will spend my entire life proving my love for you."
