On the afternoon of December 21st, the day after Qin Xiong won the European Golden Boy Award, he had accepted a brief interview with the BBC at the training ground the day before. He also showed the Golden Boy Award trophy that was sent by Tuttosport.
His teammates congratulated him and then forgot about it. After all, this award did not carry too much weight, and there would be a lot of pressure.
If Qin Xiong disappeared in a few years, the Golden Boy Award would become a laughing stock.
Qin Xiong was in a good mood and excited, because he felt that today was a special day.
He drove back to the apartment and shouted as soon as he entered the door, "Sylvia, are you there?"
Sylvia came downstairs. It was not surprising that she was so happy for Qin Xiong. After all, he had won the award.
She said, "Georgia was taken out by Mr. Freddy. I don't know if she'll be back for dinner."
Qin Xiong walked up the stairs, took her hand, and walked out. He smiled and said, "Let's go out for dinner tonight."
Sylvia thought that Qin Xiong wanted to celebrate his winning of the European Golden Boy Award, so she smiled and said, "Where are we going? Don't go to an expensive restaurant. "
"It's not expensive. It's a restaurant I often go to. It's very close to here."
Sylvia put on a slim beige coat and got into the car with Qin Xiong. Soon, they arrived at the restaurant where Qin Xiong often went to eat. It was indeed very close, less than 10 minutes away by car.
After parking the car, Sylvia got out of the passenger seat. As soon as she got out, Qin Xiong ran behind her and covered her eyes with his hands from behind. He smiled and said, "Don't peek."
Sylvia laughed and said, "Why? Could it be that you've prepared something to scare me? Are your friends Zeller and the others here as well? Or your teammates? "
Qin Xiong stuck close to her back and whispered in her ear, "You'll know in a moment. Now listen to my instructions. Go forward. Okay, okay. Slow down. Stop. There's a staircase in front of you. Lift your leg. Yes …"
Sylvia kept smiling as she listened to Qin Xiong's instructions. The two of them walked into the restaurant.
Sylvia heard soothing light music, which made her feel particularly relaxed.
After Qin Xiong released his hands, she opened her eyes and saw that there were no customers in the dining room. There was a table in the middle of the dining room, and there were countless red roses on both sides of the table. There were already plates on the table, and there was a lid on them. She didn't know what the food was.
A four-member band walked out from the corner and began to play a unique piece of music.
Sylvia was so surprised that she was speechless. She seemed to realize something and turned to look at Qin Xiong.
She saw that Qin Xiong had a smile on his face, and his eyes were gentle as he whispered to her, "Happy birthday."
Sylvia was so happy that she almost cried. She had never taken the initiative to tell Qin Xiong her birthday. It must be Georgia who sold this information to Qin Xiong.
She didn't want Qin Xiong to be distracted by work, so she didn't want her birthday to be special. However, Qin Xiong gave her a surprise.
She walked forward and hugged Qin Xiong. She said emotionally, "Thank you, but you shouldn't have booked this entire restaurant for me. It's such a waste!"
Qin Xiong shook his head and said against her soft cheek, "As long as you're happy, it's worth it."
Sylvia was so moved that she couldn't speak. Although she was happy and happy every minute in London, she wouldn't hypocritically say, "What you did won't make me happier, because I'm already happy."
That was obviously not what she meant.
However, Sylvia, who had been frugal since she was a child, didn't want Qin Xiong to be extravagant for her. She was vain, and capturing Qin Xiong's heart had greatly satisfied her vanity. She didn't need more.
The restaurant's waiter came over and opened a bottle of high-class red wine for them. When he poured the wine, Qin Xiong introduced them to Sylvia. "Sylvia, this is Huck Dean. Huck, this is Sylvia Slott, my girlfriend."
Sylvia took the initiative to reach out her hand to Huck and said with a smile, "Huck, it's nice to meet you. He talked about you and said you were a philosopher."
With a humble smile, Huck shook hands with Sylvia and said, "He often talks about you. Your love is enviable. I wish you happiness."
The corners of Sylvia's mouth curled up as she graciously thanked him.
Huck opened the lids of the seven plates on the table, leaving only the one in front of Sylvia.
Huck walked away.
Sylvia felt strange. She thought Huck had forgotten, so she opened the lid of the plate in front of her with her own hands. After she opened the lid, she was stunned.
There was a delicate little box on the plate, and inside it was a luxurious and dazzling diamond ring!
Her mind was completely blank.
At this moment, Qin Xiong said softly to her, "Sylvia, I feel happy and satisfied every day that I'm with you, but I'm still worried. I'm worried that you'll disappear and that we'll be separated in the future. I remember that you promised me that you'll marry me after you graduate, but I'm still afraid, so I want to confirm it. Although this may or may not mean anything, because no one can be certain about the future. Perhaps one day, you'll think that Qin Xiong is a boring man, a man who can't make you happy. I don't know, but I feel that my mood is very strange. The more I'm with you, the more I have, but the more I'm afraid of losing. This is an engagement ring. I don't know if I should hold an engagement ceremony, but I hope you can accept it so that I can look forward to that day in the future with peace of mind. Let me start the countdown. Every day that passes will bring us closer to our wedding day … "
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Sylvia suddenly stood up and came to Qin Xiong. She bent down and hugged him. She said excitedly, "I should be the one who is afraid. I should also be the one who is worried that you will disappear from my life one day. How many times do I have to say it before you understand? I am willing, I am willing, I am willing, I am willing, I am willing, I am willing, I am willing countless times. I am looking forward to becoming your wife every day! "
Qin Xiong stood up and picked up the diamond ring on the table. He personally put it on Sylvia's finger. Their eyes met. Qin Xiong said softly, "From today onwards, you are my fiancée, and I am your fiancé. In the summer of one and a half years from now, we will get married!"
Sylvia was so happy that she cried. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, my dear fiancé."
Qin Xiong raised his hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Don't cry, your highness fiancée. We should eat."
Sylvia smiled as she returned to her seat. She raised her hand to admire the diamond ring on her finger.
Suddenly, she frowned and said, "This, how much is it?"
Qin Xiong casually said, "Why are you asking this? You don't like it? You can change it. "
"No, I am just asking how much is it?"
"En? Do you have to know? "
"Of course!"
"Around 8000 pounds."
Sylvia covered her mouth with one hand and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Why did you buy such an expensive ring? "
Qin Xiong was baffled and asked back, "Do I have to buy a cheap ring for my fiancée?"
"Of course! How can I wear such an expensive ring on my finger? It might be robbed! "
Sylvia should know better than Qin Xiong the principle of not showing off one's wealth. After all, Qin Xiong had almost never been in charge of money.
Qin Xiong said helplessly, "Then how much do you think the ring will not be robbed?"
Sylvia seriously thought for a while and said, "A few hundred euros should not be stolen …"
She was actually not very sure.
Qin Xiong said in disbelief, "Are you kidding me? I buy a ring for my fiancée, a few hundred euros and then propose to her? If others were to find out, they would definitely say that my feelings for you are fake! "
"Money can't measure love! Even if you don't give me a ring, I will definitely agree to marry you! No, I have already promised! "
"These are two different things!"
The atmosphere suddenly became very strange.
The atmosphere that was supposed to be filled with love and tenderness suddenly seemed to have developed in a strange direction.
Both of them suddenly fell silent.
After about ten seconds, Qin Xiong said softly, "People who love each other should not quarrel, because there are only two of them. Against them is the whole world. Once there is a gap between them, the world will conquer them."
After Qin Xiong finished speaking, Sylvia stared at him in a daze. Then she got up and moved the chair to sit next to Qin Xiong. The two of them laughed at the same time.
Sylvia held his hand and said softly, "You know what I mean."
Qin Xiong nodded. Of course he knew.
The quarrel just now would not cause any gap between them.
Sylvia took the initiative to raise her wine glass and drink with Qin Xiong. Before drinking, she asked curiously, "Who said those words just now?"
Qin Xiong turned his head and pursed his lips, indicating the direction of Huck. He said, "He said it, but the original author is Hemingway."
Sylvia stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "No wonder you said he is a philosopher."
