Proposal

Why does this name, this person, always suddenly appear when she makes up her mind?

Even after two years, this person hasn't changed at all.

Women are still playthings; how could such a person ever give their true heart? But why, when meeting again, there is no trace of attachment and just leaves? Is it because her identity is considered insignificant, or is it that unimportant? The memories from before are just hers alone.

A sleepless night.

It wasn't until the morning when Ouyang Yu called her to have breakfast that she woke up.

In the restaurant, there were all kinds of delicious dishes.

"Why, didn't you sleep well?" Ouyang Yu looked at her tired expression and gently asked, "Is it a bit uncomfortable to spend the night on the cruise ship?"

"No, I... I just had too much fun playing on the cruise ship, that's why I couldn't sleep," Helan You shook her head hastily, trying hard to make an excuse.

At this moment, a sudden commotion came from the entrance of the restaurant, and Yin Helian walked in from outside, his outstanding appearance causing a buzz of discussion among the people in the restaurant.

"What a playboy," Shangguan Manji pointed to the woman next to him and said, "Look, he's changed women again."

"Such a man probably can't sleep comfortably without a woman to warm the bed," Helan You sneered with a smile, her heart already numb, out of sight, out of mind. She was about to get up when a waiter suddenly walked straight towards them. The one in front was pushing a five-tiered fruit cake, and the ones behind were holding large trays filled with expensive crystal glasses, each filled with aged red wine.

The court-style service attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

"What is this—" Helan You looked at the cake in front of her, a bit slow to react, until Ouyang Yu personally handed her the cake-cutting knife in his hand, and she was slightly stunned to understand, looking at Duan Xu with surprise in her eyes. It was obvious that he didn't know about this, or else he would have told her long ago.

"Today is not my birthday," she laughed dryly.

"It's not a birthday, but we can still share cake with everyone. Cut it and see," Ouyang Yu gestured to her with a joyful look in his eyes.

With no reason to refuse, Helan You had to take the knife and cut it. Right in the middle, a blue diamond ring appeared.

"What is this—"

"A proposal—" Ouyang Yu reached for the ring and said in front of everyone, "I know we are already engaged, but this time it's for marriage. Will you marry me on the first of next month?"

"The first?" Today seems to be the thirteenth, only half a month away from him proposing marriage to her.

"Wow, even the date is set. Xiao You, hurry up and agree."

"Yes, agree. Such a good man," the people in the restaurant took the opportunity to cheer loudly, "Don't miss it."

"Xiao You, I have loved you for so long and have waited for you for so long. I hope you can agree to marry me, okay?" Ouyang Yu knelt on one knee, looking at her affectionately, "I will love you for a lifetime, and it will not change until my hair turns gray."

Looking at his promise, his oath, Helan You suddenly remembered that someone had once said the same thing to her, until the end of time...

Since it can't last until the end of time, then choose to grow old together. She doesn't want to be sorry for him anymore, doesn't want to miss sincere love again. She nodded gently, her body suddenly feeling a bit cold. She looked in the direction from which the cold wind came and saw a figure walking out of the restaurant against the sunlight.

As expected... such a person wouldn't care. In her daze, the ring had already been placed on her hand.

"I'll cover all expenses for the next three days," Ouyang Yu happily announced to everyone, "Everyone on this cruise today, I hope you can all come to my wedding. You are all welcome."

The restaurant immediately erupted in thunderous applause and congratulations.

Looking at the happy and smiling Ouyang Yu, Helan You had mixed feelings. Duan Xu told her about his plan to propose, but he proposed to her at such an unexpected breakfast. She really didn't expect it. Maybe he knew about Duan Xu's feelings for her, or maybe it was purely coincidental. At least she knew that Ouyang Yu was definitely more complicated than she thought.

But since the decision has been made, there is no need to regret it.

The whole day was in a joyful uproar.

She didn't know how many people toasted, and she didn't know when she got drunk.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Night, on the top deck of the ship, with the sea breeze blowing.

Her head is so dizzy. She finally got rid of that group of people. Compared to the party below, the tranquility up here is comfortable.

She clings to the railing with both hands, and her stomach is churning, stepping on the railing and vomiting continuously downwards.

Looking at the surging sea water splashed by the ship, her brain suddenly feels dizzy. When she wants to get down, her high heels suddenly twist. The shoe falls into the sea, and she is about to fall headfirst into the ocean.

"Ah—", a clear scream sounded, her hands waving desperately, but she couldn't maintain her balance. Just as she was about to fall, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and pulled her back.

"Drunk and still climbing up there, do you want to die?" The roar mixed with anxiety exploded in her ears.

Although the drunkenness had sobered up, the fear just now made her vomit again, all over that person.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, patting her chest in a panic," Helan You looked up and saw a frustrated and furious handsome face, "Why is it you—".

"Is it wrong? I saved you with good intentions, and this is how you repay me," Yin Helian disgustedly took off his suit and threw it on the ground.

Helan You looked at his disgusted expression, feeling bad inside, "I didn't know it was you. If I had known, I would rather fall into the sea than let you save me."

The atmosphere around her became extremely cold because of her words, "Helan You, you really don't know what's good for you."
