Chapter 40 Engagement
She looked up at him in surprise, the diamond on the ring shone brightly, like the rising sun, surrounding them in a halo of happiness, as if they were within reach.Wei Qing kissed her hand, piously and warmly: "Zhou Shi, be engaged to me, marry me." His eyes were deep and sincere, with all his heart, at least at this moment.

Zhou Shi covered up the exclamation that was about to leak, he was proposing to her.Under the starry sky in August, in the world of two people, she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Where's your ring? Don't you have it?" Wei Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Yes." He took out the box and showed it to her. Another large men's ring lay quietly.Zhou Shi nodded blankly, said "Oh", and said surprisingly: "Let's do it again."

Wei Qing was stunned on the spot.

Zhou Shi's eyes lit up: "Don't you have to kneel to propose marriage? Let's do it again." Wei Qing looked at the streets where people were coming and going. Although there was darkness to cover it, it was impossible for such a shocking action not to attract attention. .He said helplessly: "Zhou Shi, kneeling before marriage proposal is something for Westerners, we are all Chinese—"

Zhou Shi didn't care, and said: "Okay, then you go to the matchmaker first, and then come to propose marriage to my father, and then the matchmaker is getting married, so take me there in eight sedan chairs."

Wei Qing was still struggling: "Zhou Shi—the man has gold under his knees—" Zhou Shi put his hands in his pockets and looked at him coldly: "Okay, let's go, we will talk about this later." He walked away as he said.Wei Qing quickly chased after him, looked around, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and said, "Kneel down—OK! But, can we change places?"

Zhou Shi jumped up and pointed at him: "You did it voluntarily, I didn't force you."She took Wei Qing to the rostrum of the playground of Shanglin No. [-] Middle School, and turned on the lights on the rostrum, and the lights flowed all over the ground like mercury, shining brightly.She sat down at the chairman's table in the middle, dangling her legs, and said condescendingly: "It's time to start." She looked like a queen.

Wei Qing almost ran over to death!Quickly turned her attention away, and said: "Zhou Shi, what's the point of you doing this like a rehearsal? Isn't it fun for us to be straightforward and straightforward?" Then asked: "Zhou Shi, get engaged to me, okay? ?”

Zhou Shi put his hands together, jumped down from the table, returned the ring on his hand, squinted and said, "I like it, who are you going to be engaged to?" He quickly grabbed her, clenched his fists, and went all out up!Although Wei Qing is flirtatious, he is not so romantic as to kneel down. When he met Zhou Shi, he had fallen to his grandma's house, so he could only dejectedly say, "Can I kneel?" Zhou Shi hurriedly climbed onto the table, Set up "POSE" and wait for him to salute.

Wei Qing dawdled for a long time, and with a "dong", he landed on one knee, stroked his forehead, shook his head and smiled wryly, and was speechless for a long time.Zhou Shi asked, "Is this the end for you?" Pointing at him, he said, "Then you are kneeling in vain." As he said that, he wanted to jump off.Wei Qing held her down and said with all his strength, "Honey, please get engaged to me."

Zhou is dissatisfied: "Who is dear?" Any beautiful woman can be dear.Wei Qing said angrily: "Of course it's you!" Zhou Shi asked again: "Who am I?"

It was the first time for Zhou to hear him call her wife. She blushed slightly, cleared her throat, and said solemnly, "Okay, I agree to Comrade Wei Qing's engagement." Wei Qing stood up quickly.Zhou Shi shouted: "Hey, don't you want to kneel down and put the ring on for me?"

Wei Qing took her hand and said flatteringly: "It's the same if you wear it this way." Zhou pulled it back hard, hid it behind his back, and said seriously: "No, I won't wear it if you don't kneel!" Didn't he kneel in vain tonight?Anyway, I knelt and knelt, I lost my face, I don't care about one more time, if there is the first time, there will be a second time.

From then on, under Zhou Shi's "excessive power", Wei Qing would never recover.

So Wei Qing knelt in front of her and said, "My queen, please let me put the ring on for you." He was completely surrendered at her feet, no matter in substance or form, he was not spared. .Zhou Shi was a little shy at this time, his face flushed "shua", he stretched out his hand slowly, and said softly: "Okay."

Wei Qing pushed the ring in bit by bit, then bent his lips and kissed it.He placed his head on her lap, snuggled up to her like a child, and seemed to be able to feel the sound of her heartbeat, passing along the arteries to his heart bit by bit.Zhou Shi was suddenly embarrassed and at a loss, looked down at his thick black hair, pushed him, and deliberately said, "Aiqing, you can get back on your feet."

The word "Ai Qing" can be described as a pun!

Wei Qing grabbed her hand, jumped up immediately, rubbed his knees and complained: "Zhou Shi, you are so ruthless!" Let him kneel on the concrete floor for so long, his knees must be red.Zhou Shi tugged at the hem of his clothes: "It's not over yet, don't you want to wear it?" He took out the ring from the box and put it on for him seriously.Looking at the ring on his ring finger, he sighed and said: "Wei Qing, this ring has bound our hearts, we must be loyal to each other, and share weal and woe."

After hearing her words, Wei Qing immediately dissipated the complaints just now, hugged her and said, "Zhou Shi, don't worry, I will treat you well." Zhou Shi jumped down and said loudly, "How dare you not treat me well! I'll find another better one!" Wei Qing said anxiously, "Zhou Shi, if I propose to you, can't you say something nice?" Poor him, he knelt down and did the most stupid things in the world.

Zhou Shi raised his head and thought for a while, then took the initiative to kiss him, looked into his eyes, and said, "Wei Qing, I think I love you." After he finished speaking, he was so shy, this must sound good.Wei Qing suffered all kinds of "humiliation", and finally waited for her words. He was very happy and said, "Zhou Shi, I didn't hear you clearly just now, please say it again." Beautiful!" Then he jumped off the rostrum.

Wei Qing chased after him and said repeatedly: "Zhou Shi, I knelt down twice, so you just say it again!" Zhou Shi said angrily: "Say it again, say it again, I will take that sentence back!" Qing said sullenly: "Zhou Shi, this is so unfair!" Zhou Shi shrugged: "The world is inherently unfair." Especially in terms of feelings.

Wei Qing stepped forward and hugged Zhou Shi, and kissed her so hard that she almost couldn't breathe before letting go of her.Zhou Shi leaned against him, his body was limp, his chest heaved violently, and he said out of breath, "Wei Qing, you must ask for my permission before you kiss me in the future." I'm going to tell your father about our engagement tonight." He asked her father's permission.

Zhou Shi was a little nervous, and begged: "Wei Qing, tomorrow? How about tomorrow? I have to make mental preparations first." She was still a little flustered.Standing in front of the door, Wei Qing snorted coldly: "Wait until next year, okay?" I still want to delay him!When they arrived at Zhou Shi's house, it was her father who opened the door.Wei Qing pulled Zhou Shi in and bowed to salute: "Uncle, hello, Zhou Shi and I have something to talk to you."

Her father saw his solemn expression, and then looked at Zhou Shi who was embarrassed, and guessed a little bit.He nodded and said, "Mr. Wei, Shishi, sit beside me." Zhou Shi hesitated and refused to go forward, Wei Qing dragged her over, smiled and said, "Uncle, you can just call me Wei Qing. Her father glanced at Zhou Shi and nodded, "Wei Qing, Zhou Shi, come here."

Zhou Shi walked forward hesitantly, lowered his head and bit his lips and remained silent. Wei Qing took her hand and said calmly: "Uncle, I hope you can give Zhou Shi to me. I will spoil her, love her, and take care of her." She will always be good to her."

Her father raised his head and looked at him with piercing eyes, as if discerning the true content of his words, not letting go of any subtle expressions.Wei Qing looked back calmly, neither dodging nor dodging, fearless and fearless.He knew that if he wanted to win his beloved daughter from a father, he must show the greatest sincerity.

After a long while, her father said: "Mr. Wei—oh, Wei Qing, have you ever thought about the gap between you and Zhou Shi? She is only 19 years old, has no experience in the world, and has no heart. She is still studying. Match with you, stand at the same height, and run a happy family life together?"

The questions raised by Zhou's father are realistic and sharp.Wei Qing answered unhurriedly: "Uncle, although Zhou Shi is only 19 years old, he is mature, sensible, smart, sensible, and well-measured in major matters, and is fully capable of married life; in minor matters, he still retains a naive, simple, mischievous and lovely temperament." , This is extremely admirable. Regarding the issue of Zhou Shi is still studying, my parents and I agreed that we can get engaged first, and it will not be too late to get married when the conditions are ripe. I don’t know what you mean, uncle...?"

Her father asked: "Has your family agreed that you and Zhou Shi are together?" Wei Qing nodded: "Yes, my parents are very satisfied with Zhou Shi and like her as much as I do." Her father nodded slowly, thinking about it Thinking, then said: "Wei Qing, your background is completely different from Zhou Shi's. Have you ever thought that this will cause difficulties in communication between you two?" Her father is so difficult.

He said seriously: "Uncle, I dare not say that there is no problem between me and Zhou Shi, but if two people want to be together, they must constantly work together, tolerate and understand each other. Do you think so?" He is not a vegetarian either. My master, I turned the question to Zhou Shi's father.

Her father turned to look at Zhou Shi, and said softly, "Shishi, this is a major event in your life, what do you think?" Seeing this posture, Zhou Shi knew that he had to make a decision tonight, and the choice was his. At hand, the answer is only yes or no, with no room for buffering.

Turning her head and looking at the two men in front of her, one is her father who grew up with her, and the other is her husband who will accompany her for the rest of her life. Her eyes suddenly became moist. Will her decision make her father sad?Wei Qing looked at her nervously, and shouted in a suppressed voice, "Zhou is—"

Zhou Shi smiled at him, faced his father, and said seriously: "Dad, I will do what you say." Of course her father understood what his daughter meant, and sighed softly. How can I give it to another man!

He pressed their hands together and said earnestly: "Wei Qing, Zhou is young, beautiful, lively and lovely now. I hope you can treat her well in decades. When two people are together, there is a responsibility. There is a burden, and you have to be responsible to the other party. Zhou is young, and there are many things she doesn’t understand, you have to teach her, hold her hand and move forward together.”

Wei Qing nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, I will." His attitude was unprecedentedly serious, holding Zhou Shi's hand, he really felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and the definition of a husband.Marriage makes a man truly mature, and that charm is convincing from the inside out.

Zhou Shi could hear the tears dripping down on the back of Wei Qing's hands, choked up and shouted: "Dad——" Her father touched her head as he did when she was a child, and said, "Shishi, don't be so willful in the future. Oh, be sensible and obedient, and stop losing your temper." Zhou Shi nodded repeatedly with tears in his eyes.

Her father looked at his daughter, he was about to leave him at the age of 19, it was too soon!Suddenly said: "Shishi, if your mother is still here, she will definitely agree." After saying this, he stood up with the armrest of the sofa, and said: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early too." Staggering back to the room.

Zhou Shi looked at his father's slightly bent back and thought, he must be thinking of his mother who passed away.She raised her head and said, "Wei Qing, let's not get engaged so soon, okay? My father is alone, so lonely!" Wei Qing wiped her tears and sighed, "Everyone has his own life to live. The same goes for you. No matter how much you love your father, you have your own way to go, don't you?" Zhou Shi lowered his head, knowing that what he said was indeed true, and kept silent, but the reluctance in his heart still lingered.

The next day, Wei Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, I told my parents about our engagement, and they hope you will come to Beijing with us this time to attend our engagement ceremony." Wei's father and Wei's mother learned that Zhou was After her father agreed to get engaged, of course he was very happy, especially Wei's mother, who immediately urged them to get married.In order to show their prudence, the two old people wanted to hold a grand engagement ceremony.

Zhou Shi was surprised when he heard that, and hurriedly asked, "What engagement ceremony? Why didn't I know?" Wei Qing laughed and said, "My parents want to borrow our business to invite relatives and friends to get together." Zhou Shi heard him Doesn't it mean that you want to put on a big banquet and feast your guests.According to the status of their family, they might even be featured in the tabloid news.Do you still want her to study quietly?Immediately, he expressed his objection: "Wei Qing, I don't want any engagement ceremony. Wei's father, Wei's mother and my father agree, and that's fine."

Zhou Shi's father didn't seem to sleep well all night, and his spirit was a little weak. He said: "I know your parents' kindness, but I don't agree with making a big show. Shishi is still studying, and the ceremony will be discussed after she graduates." Wei Qing According to what he meant, if Zhou Shi wanted to get married, he would have to wait until Zhou Shi finished his graduate studies.

19 years old is a beautiful age, and it is indeed a bit early to get married at this age.

For Zhou Shi's father's proposal, the Wei family expressed their understanding.It is a matter of great importance to the children, and the parents of the two parties must at least meet each other.Because Zhou Shi's father was injured due to a fall, his legs and feet were still not well, and he had difficulty moving, so Wei's father and Wei's mother went south in person, which shows that they attach great importance to this marriage.

Zhou Shi was very nervous. Ever since he heard that Wei's father and Wei's mother were coming, he felt restless.Wei Qing reassured her: "It's okay, you haven't met my parents, why are you nervous." Zhou Shi said, "That's different, this time it's at my house. I'm afraid that if I don't do well, it will be ugly if I don't behave properly." No matter how capable she is, she has never experienced such a big battle.The Wei family is not an ordinary family, and she really doesn't know how to arrange it.

Wei Qing put her arms around her and smiled: "Why are you in a hurry! With your husband here, you can just relax." Wei Qing handles all matters, such trivial matters as airport pick-up, hotel boxes, menus, etc., are considered carefully That's right, even the clothes her father wore when they met that day.

Zhou Shi followed, leaning his head on his arm, and said, "Wei Qing, I didn't realize until today that you are so capable." He was always calm and composed when things went wrong.Zhou Shi snuggled up to him, looking like a little girl.Seeing her adoring eyes, Wei Qing's masculine self-esteem was unprecedentedly inflated, he kissed her, and said dotingly: "These are men's business, you just need to be obedient and obedient."

Zhou was speechless, he was really machismo, he flew into the sky after only a few words.

On the day the two parents met, Zhou Shi and his father dressed up completely new, and first went to the hotel box to wait.Wei Qing went to pick up the plane in person.At noon, Wei's father and Wei's mother had arrived, and after exchanging pleasantries, they all took their seats.Zhou Shi got up to pour the wine, Wei's mother hurriedly said: "Shishi, you sit down and let the waiter pour it." Zhou Shi's father smiled and said: "It's okay, she is young, let her pour it."

Wei's mother thought to herself, no wonder Zhou is so smart, it turns out that his parents taught him well.

At the banquet, the two parents praised each other. Mother Wei praised Zhou Shi as smart and sensible, and even Wei's father said that Zhou Shi liked the child just by looking at it.Zhou's face turned red when he said it, and he pulled Wei's mother and said embarrassedly: "Wei mother, if you say it again, I can't lift my head." Wei's mother smiled: "Shishi, is she still called Wei's mother?"

Everyone smiled and looked at her. Zhou Shi blushed and looked at his father. Seeing his smile, he obediently called: "Mom!" Then he called "Daddy" to Old General Wei.The two old people smiled and nodded, very happy.Wei's mother touched her hand and said with a smile: "Oh, our Shishi can talk, and we will be a family in the future. Come, this is for you--" She took out a pair of jade bracelets from her body, the whole body was emerald, Pure without variegation, it is worth a lot of money at a glance.

Wei's mother said: "I know you young people don't like these old antiques, but this jade bracelet is a wish from your parents, so you can accept it." Come be happy.

Zhou Shi knew that he couldn't refuse, so he took it in his hand and said: "Mom, this bracelet is very beautiful, I like it very much." He immediately put it on his hand, the size was just right, obviously it was made according to her size.Her behavior made Wei's mother very happy, and said she looked good in it.

Wei Qing also came over, raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Shi, so you are very suitable for wearing bracelets!" Because she has studied painting all the year round, she naturally has an artistic temperament, and she is dignified and elegant when she is quiet.Zhou Shi flicked the bracelet back and forth, and said with a smile, "To wear this, you have to wear a cheongsam to look good." She suddenly thought that if she gets married in the future, she should wear a cheongsam.Looking at Wei Qing, she couldn't help smiling, and took his hand, feeling an indescribable happiness in her heart.

Seeing her like that, Wei Qing was moved in his heart, bowed his head and whispered in her ear, "It looks better if you only wear this." He stared at her clothes with malicious intentions.

Zhou Shi came to his senses suddenly, glared at him, pushed him away, and sat upright.This person doesn't know what he's thinking all day long, his mind is full of dirty ideas!
That afternoon, Wei's father and Wei's mother left.Because school was approaching, within two days, Zhou Shi and Wei Qing also returned to Beijing.
