    43: Proposal

    Qin Ruicheng was gearing up to plan a bed exercise for Qiao Qiao that “I want to try again and have endless aftertaste after trying it.” He actually planned for several days, counting the days until the last scene of “Serial” on his fingers, and ordered several different types of toys from the Internet. Even the flavors of condoms were carefully selected.

    Scene one:

    The text message comes from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, what fruit do you like?

    Reply: What for?

    Text message from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: I just want to know more about you 🙂

    Reply: Dragon fruit bar.

    The text message comes from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: …is there anything with a bigger taste?

    Reply: Durian?

    The text message comes from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: (frightened face) OMG we are really a match made in heaven, and I especially love durian!…but is there anything more conventional?

    Reply: What are you going to do?

    The text message comes from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: I want to buy you… a piece of soap.But it seems that it only has strawberry, orange, grape, and apple flavors to choose from.

    Reply: Grapes taste better.

    Text message from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: OK.XD

    So the taste of condoms was decided.

    Scene two:

    The text message comes from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, do you like to play with the jumping machine or the roller coaster?

    Reply: It’s still a roller coaster.

    Text message from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: Do you prefer a water-spraying roller coaster or a land roller coaster?

    Reply: I’ve only ever ridden an air roller coaster…

    The text message comes from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: Choose one.

    Reply: Then a land roller coaster is better. The water will make your clothes wet.

    The text message comes from ‘Qin Ruicheng’: Hehe.I think so too.

    So the additional functions of the massage stick were decided.

    Of course, that’s not all. He also booked a romantic French restaurant with an orchestra, personally inspected the honeymoon suites of various hotels, made a long list of ‘postures’, and even negotiated a massage service in advance, using those hot and silky massage oils to open every joint of Qiao Qiao’s body, striving to make Qiao Qiao so ecstatic that he couldn’t stop.

    He had to earn a new position for himself, because Qin Ruicheng found that he could hardly catch Qiao Qiao recently.Since coming to the headquarters, Qiao Qiao has disappeared from time to time, and because there are so many permanent residents at the headquarters, Qiao Qiao no longer always chooses Qin Ruicheng as his partner as before. There are also some other inexplicable people who always come over to interfere, greatly occupying the space between him and Qiao Qiao, which makes Qin Ruicheng quite unhappy.

    So no matter what, he must seize the opportunity tonight.

    “Actually, I should put on some makeup…” Qiao Qiao tugged on her skirt cautiously, “Do you think I can wear this?”

    “It’s just a meal. We paid, and we can wear whatever we want.” Qin Ruicheng kissed the top of Qiao Qiao’s head, “How about you wait for me to go back and change into a pair of slippers?”

    “A suit with slippers? That’s so weird!”

    “This is this year’s fashionable outfit!”

    The two of them walked to the lobby of WAWA headquarters while chatting and laughing, and unexpectedly discovered that for some reason today, many places in the lobby of the headquarters were hung with light purple balloons and ribbons.

    “Wow, is today a holiday?”

    “No.” A staff member heard Qiao Qiao’s exclamation and kindly explained, “I heard someone proposed tonight.”

    Speaking of marriage proposals, we have to mention the tradition of WAWA company.WAWA is a very humane company. Although romantic relationships between direct superiors and subordinates are not allowed, it strongly encourages employees in the same field to pair up with each other. For example, if you are an actor and your boyfriend is also an actor, if you plan to get married, you can not only use the company’s location to propose marriage and apply for a couple’s room, but also enjoy “couples’ priority” after marriage. That is, all major logistics and personnel departments will give you the green light to try to ensure that you can solve the problem of couples’ sex life in the company so that you can continue to work for WAWA continuously and permanently.

    Qiaoqiao alone knows several couples’ teams, which have always been popular and have even developed a unique ‘couple culture’.

    “What? Are you envious?” Qin Ruicheng turned his head and looked at Qiao Qiao, “Do you want it? I can arrange a proposal ceremony that is much better than this one. You can get married wherever you want. How about an island? Do you like the tropics?”

    “No…” Qiao Qiao shook his head and sighed slightly, “I don’t want to get married so early.”

    “Okay.” Qin Ruicheng shrugged, “If you want to get married anytime, be sure to inform me first.”

    “Hey, why?”

    Qin Ruicheng smiled: “Guess.”

    It can be seen that the man who is planning to propose directly in the lobby is very thoughtful. He even wrapped the green wicker chairs originally placed in the rest area with beautiful white silk ribbons. They look like small white flowers swaying in the wind. The white and green contrast with each other, giving it a very forest-like atmosphere.

    At this time, several couriers came over with a small cart of flowers. Qiao Qiao originally thought they would be the more common red roses, but when he got closer, he discovered that the flowers were actually made of cloth, with exquisite buttons of various colors at the stamens. The petals were mostly made of non-woven fabrics, layered on top of each other, mostly white, dark green, and dark blue, with occasional turmeric and pink mixed in. They did not look like flowers for marriage proposals, but they were unexpectedly beautiful and warm.

    “Look.” Qiao Qiao pointed to the flowers with an envious look on his face, “I want to meet this man.”

    “How many flowers did you capture?” Qin Ruicheng snorted, pretending to be disdainful, “I thought you would have such high demands.”

    …No, I have to sign up for a tailoring class tomorrow!Qin Ruicheng thought secretly.

    “I think the most important thing about proposing is your heart. You can feel that the other person loves you, and you are willing to sacrifice your life for him. Besides, you can’t imagine being with anyone else except the other person.”

    Qiao Qiao stopped talking, pointed at the door with great interest and said, “Look, is the suitor coming?”

    She looked around excitedly, trying to find the girl who was lucky enough to be proposed to, but it seemed as if everyone was a bystander, and there was not a single girl standing in the hall.

    “Did she not come?” Qiao Qiao began to feel sad for the suitor he had never met before. “What a pity. Even if you want to refuse, you should come and meet her, otherwise it will be embarrassing for others.”

    It was a bit far away, and he could only see the tall figure of the man who got off the car. Qiao Qiao stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck to look. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Why was this man walking straight in our direction?Why does this man look so familiar the more I look at him?

    Qin Ruicheng squinted his eyes for a while and said, “Isn’t this Zhou Yuanchuan?”

    It’s really Mr. Zhou!

    Zhou Yuanchuan wore a white suit with a beautiful burgundy scarf on his chest. He had a narrow waistline, broad shoulders and long legs. He walked with a wind in his step. From the moment he entered the hall, he caught almost everyone’s attention.

    “Yuanchuan!” Qin Ruicheng took two steps forward, looked Zhou Yuanchuan up and down, and teased, “What are you doing? Dressed up like a white peacock, do you want to be the best man?”

    Zhou Yuanchuan said nothing, just pursed his lips and smiled, looking at Qiao Qiao behind Qin Ruicheng, gentle and caring.

    “Hello, Mr. Zhou!” Qiao Qiao quickly waved and said hello. She didn’t know why she now had a strange feeling of being ‘caught in bed’… Could it be because of Qin Ruicheng?

    “You haven’t answered me yet. Who are you going to be the best man for?” Qin Ruicheng poked Zhou Yuanchuan with his elbow.

    “I’m not here to be the best man.” Zhou Yuanchuan stared at Qiao Qiao and said slowly, “I’m here to propose tonight.”

    Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a bad feeling.

    “Proposal?” Qin Ruicheng was so frightened that he leaned back in exaggeration, “Wow, when did you fall in love? Could it be the girl you brought back from the United States? The confidentiality work is in place.”

    “I’m here to propose to Qiao Qiao.”

    “Wait…” Qin Ruicheng raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, looked back at Qiao Qiao and then at Zhou Yuanchuan, with a funny expression on his face, “The Qiao Qiao you are talking about, isn’t it the same Qiao Qiao?”

    “Yes.” Zhou Yuanchuan nodded innocently, “Thank you for bringing her here. I originally wanted to call you.”

    Qiao Qiao has been petrified in place.

    But Zhou Yuanchuan didn’t let her petrify for too long. He sidestepped Qin Ruicheng and walked to Qiao Qiao. He was much taller than Qiao Qiao, and when he looked down at people like this, he had some childlike innocence and childishness.

    Then he slowly knelt on one knee and looked up at Qiao Qiao, his dark eyes shining with crisp light, gentle and handsome, and he asked softly: “Then will you marry me?”

    “I don’t want to!” Qin Ruicheng suddenly intervened. His face was not very good, and his eyes were dark. He directly grabbed Qiao Qiao’s hand to drag her away. The strength of his hand was so strong that Qiao Qiao could not stand steadily and almost fell to the ground: “…it hurts!”

    “I’m sorry.” Qin Ruicheng breathed out, closed his eyes and managed to calm down, but still dragged Qiao Qiao to leave quickly. Many people around were watching, but Zhou Yuanchuan was still kneeling on one knee, but looked at the two of them coldly.

    “Wait, I have something to say!” Qiao Qiao struggled twice, and Qin Ruicheng had no choice but to let go. Qiao Qiao returned to Zhou Yuanchuan. Her eyes were slightly red, and she didn’t know whether it was physiological tears caused by pain or something else. Qiao Qiao wanted to help Zhou Yuanchuan up, but Zhou Yuanchuan insisted on kneeling on one knee, so Qiao Qiao had to squat down.

    “Will you marry me?” Zhou Yuanchuan asked again softly.

    “…I’m sorry.” Qiao Qiao bit his lip and hurriedly explained, “Mr. Zhou, you are very good! You, you are the smartest person I have ever met! I am very grateful that you like me, but…”

    “Too fast?”

    “Mr. Zhou, I don’t know you at all, and you don’t know me either.” Qiao Qiao said incoherently, “I only know your name, your age, and that you are a scientist. I think maybe Qin Ruichengdu knows you better than me. I don’t know your favorite color, taste, or whether you like to eat steamed buns.It’s just eating rice. I don’t even know anything about what you’re studying… We’ve only had a handful of serious dates. Maybe I have some habits that you can’t stand.I feel that if I agree to you now, I’m not only irresponsible to myself, but also to you.”

    “The purpose of getting to know each other is to lower each other’s expectation threshold, and I have almost unlimited tolerance for you. Of course, if you don’t like something about me, I can change it immediately. I can maintain the same eating habits as you and change my schedule to coordinate with you…as long as you ask.”

    “…Mr. Zhou, you don’t need to do this.”

    “As long as I can get you to agree.”

    “…I’m sorry.” Qiao Qiao said softly, “I think you may not love me.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it was choked in his throat and did not come out.

    @@@

    Many years later, Zhou Yuanchuan, who was already standing on the Nobel podium and enjoying the attention of billions of eyes from all over the world, still chose this sentence as an answer when faced with the kind question from the award presenter.

    “Mr. Zhou, the industry praises you as ‘the only person who can see through the laws of all things in the world’. Do you agree with this?”

    “…I don’t agree.” The man in a crisp suit took the phone and replied with a smile in fluent English, “I think this honor should belong to a person who is very important to me——”

    “She can see right through me.”
