Now that I think about it, I should be thirty years old.
As the saying goes, I should be thirty years old this year.
In other words, it was time to consider starting a family.
Although his parents had been urging him to get married less recently, Lu Zhou could still feel that they were far more anxious than they looked. The reason why they didn't say anything on the phone was probably because they were worried that it would affect his career and emotional choices.
From her moving eyes, he had already confirmed the longing and desire in her heart.
Staring at those watery eyes, Lu Zhou softly said the words he had been preparing for a long time.
"Will you marry me?"
Time stopped at this moment.
The white and flawless clouds were instantly dyed with a layer of red clouds.
The elk-like eyes were gradually stained with a layer of mist. With panic and happiness, Chen Yushan avoided Lu Zhou's gaze and whispered.
"Are we progressing too fast? We just got together in December, and it hasn't even been half a year."
"But it's been almost nine years since we met."
"But … if I agree so quickly, will you … not cherish me?"
Looking at Chen Yushan who suddenly became silly, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile. He joked.
"Do I look like a bad person?"
"No …" Chen Yushan immediately shook her head, but soon her cheeks turned red again. She added, "Except sometimes."
Lu Zhou felt like this guy was lying, but he didn't find any evidence.
Lu Zhou pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence and continued to speak in a gentle tone.
"Then what else do you have to worry about?"
"It's not that I'm worried about anything … I just feel that we should be like everyone else, meet the parents first, leave some good memories of love, and finally walk into the hall of marriage." Chen Yushan seemed to be shy about her little girl feelings. She lowered her eyebrows slightly and said with some embarrassment, "… It will also make you like me a little more."
The concept of liking exists?
Lu Zhou wasn't very clear about this issue.
For him, Chen Yushan was his first love. Before this, he didn't have much experience in this area, nor was he particularly interested in it, so he didn't do any research.
However, he could understand the feelings of anxiety and happiness in her heart. He could also understand the gains and losses of the change in her identity. Once you step into the marriage hall from love, many things will change.
Perhaps it was just as she had said, only feelings that had been solidified over time could be rewarded by time.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou looked at the pretty face in front of him and gently smiled.
"Alright then."
"If you're not ready, we can get engaged first."
"On the 10th of December this year, we will have been together for a full year."
With a sweet and shy expression on her face, Chen Yushan whispered.
"Engaged?"
"Well, don't you like it?"
"How could that be? But, that, in the future … does that mean that I will become your fiancée instead of your girlfriend? "
"You can say that."
"Fiancée …" The word seemed to have poked a soft spot in her heart as a silly smile appeared on her charming face. "Hehe, I feel like … this title makes me happy."
"Then it's settled." Looking at the cute expression, Lu Zhou smiled and reached out his right hand. He raised his pinky. "Come."
"Come?"
"Pinky promise."
"Pfft … childish."
Although she said that, Chen Yushan still happily reached out her right hand and hooked her pinky with Lu Zhou's.
"It's settled. If anyone breaks their promise, they're a dog."
Lu Zhou nodded with a smile.
"Mhmm! It's settled! "
Once he had decided on something, he would never go back on his word.
Whether it was academics, career, or relationships, it was the same for him.
In this empty office, just as the two of them were deciding on their marriage, they didn't notice that two pairs of eyes were quietly hiding outside the office, peeking at what was happening inside.
In fact, it wasn't exactly peeking.
It could only be said that the atmosphere in the room was so sweet that people who were planning to come in didn't have the heart to disturb them.
The two assistants, Zhao Huan and Kong Jie, were leaning against the window of the office near the corridor and witnessed the whole thing. Their eyes were shining brightly.
Oh my god, Academician Lu is no longer single?!
No wonder he hasn't come to school for so long!
This piece of gossip was too explosive!
Seeing the two kissing, Kong Jie quickly pulled Zhao Huan to the side and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this.
"Don't tell anyone about this. Academician Lu didn't tell us, so he probably doesn't want anyone to disturb them."
"Mhmm!" Zhao Huan nodded and said, "It's better not to spread this kind of gossip. After all, it hasn't been approved by the person involved."
While Lu Zhou and Chen Yushan exchanged vows, the two people outside the window also swore that unless Academician Lu or his partner revealed this secret, they wouldn't tell anyone else about this gossip.
Whoever broke their vows was a dog.
Then, one of them went to the library, while the other went back to her dorm.
And then …
There was no then.
Women were all perverted, so what happened next was easy to imagine.
The next day, the entire Jin Ling University knew that Academician Lu was no longer single …
…
"Did you hear? Academician Lu is no longer single! "
"F * ck! Academician Lu is no longer single? Really?! "
"Of course it's true! Apparently, his partner is a former classmate … The two were in the office … Anyway, it's indescribable, and they even set a wedding date! "
"What the hell is indescribable?! Can you be more specific?! "
"From the school uniform to the wedding dress, it's so romantic."
"Sob sob sob, this can't be true, God Lu has a partner!"
The next day, at the cafeteria of Jin Ling University.
Lu Zhou was standing in front of the window, eating his food. He was muddled as he listened to the chatter behind him. He didn't even notice that the barbecued meat had become shredded pork.
These guys …
Don't they look around when they're gossiping?
Lu Zhou quickly finished his lunch and was about to call Chen Yushan. He wanted to ask what was going on, but his phone rang first.
He took out his phone and saw that it was his fiancée.
Without hesitation, Lu Zhou immediately picked up the phone.
The second he put the phone to his ear, Chen Yushan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Did you post it on Weibo?"
"No." Lu Zhou said, "I was going to ask if you posted it on WeChat."
Chen Yushan blushed.
"How could I post something like that on WeChat?"
Compared to those little girls who liked to show off their love, she was more conservative and easily shy when it came to relationships. She couldn't do something like posting a PDA on her WeChat Moments, and she had no interest in doing it.
"Speaking of which, on your side … do people know about it?"
"Yeah, my Chinese roommate at the University of Pennsylvania. She's my best friend. She just called me to congratulate me. She said that she thought we were a good match or something …"
Her voice became softer and softer. Lu Zhou had to hold his breath to hear her.
"Roommate at the University of Pennsylvania? This, this news has spread way too far. "
It's only been a day!
I don't even know if it's been 24 hours. How does it even know?
Chen Yushan suddenly realized something and spoke.
"Wait a minute, you're not on Weibo yet, right?"
"Weibo?"
"Yeah." Chen Yushan nodded and said nervously, "Go look at the trending."
Lu Zhou had a confused look on his face. He connected to the wifi and opened Weibo.
He didn't care.
When he saw the trending list, he was dumbfounded.
