Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Shouting ’life’ at you is quite simple (1)_1

Everyone present was again stunned by Xia Chen’an’s actions.

Qin Shujian, who hadn’t yet recovered from the shocks of the recent drama, was taken aback by Xia Chen’an’s sudden kneeling.

She had only said one word when she saw Xia Chen’an look up at her.

His eyes were a deep, dark abyss, their gaze burning.

She had never seen this kind of look in Cheng An’s eyes before. When Qin Shujian met his eyes, she was instantly at a loss for words.

Xia Chen’an was gazing intently at Qin Shujian. After observing her for a while, he spoke, "Qin Shujian, I have despised you before."

"I despised you for promising to attend university with me, only to turn around and disappear without a trace; I despised that despite our reunion, you refuse to utter even one word to me, treating me as if I were an insignificant stranger. But Qin Shujian, I also waited for you. I’ve been waiting for you from the second you left me, till now...still waiting."

"I’ve thought about holding onto my resentment towards you, but I..." Xia Chen’an smirked self-deprecatingly, "I lost."

"I lost completely and utterly. I don’t want to address you as Miss Qin, or even Qin Shujian, or even more as Qin the superstar. I want to call you ’Qin Simple’."

"Just as how, during all these years of your absence, I found myself uttering your name countless times in the dead of night, only to call you my little ’simple one’...my entire life’s little ’simple one’."

Perhaps his chest was choked full of sincere feelings, causing Xia Chen’an’s voice to grow hoarse.

He then reached behind his neck and after a few moments, he pulled a platinum necklace into view. "Do you still remember this necklace?" he asked Qin Shujian.

"The one you secretly admired countless times when you passed by the jewelry store near our high school. It’s not expensive or unique...to you now it may seem worthless, but I still want to ask you a question."

"Qin Shujian, will you marry me?"

As Xia Chen’an’s words concluded, the reporters on the scene erupted into chatter.

"Oh my god——!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah! Can someone tell me, is he proposing?"

"Did I hear that right? This man just said he’s been in love with Qin Shujian and waiting for her for years? Who says men care about an unsightly past? This man fell for Qin Shujian at her lowest point, he fell in love with her during her worst!"

"What kind of Immortal romance is this? I can imagine a million-word urban romance novel just from his words!"

"..."

In the midst of the chaos, Qin Shujian remained silent. Xia Chen’an maintained his kneeling position, gazing at Qin Shujian without urging her for an answer, waiting patiently.

After what seemed like an eternity, Qin Shujian blinked, finally coming to her senses. She looked down at the necklace in Xia Chen’an’s hand, reaching out halfway then pulling back, "Can... can I think about it?"

A shadow crossed Xia Chen’an’s eyes, but he spoke gently, "Sure, but... can I make a reservation first?"

"Reservation?" Qin Shujian asked, confused.

"Yes, like making a reservation at a restaurant. I want to reserve your entire life right now."

Though Qin Shujian was unsure if she wanted to marry Xia Chen’an, his words felt right. After some consideration, she nodded, "Alright."

Xia Chen’an’s face brightened with a smile. He rose to his feet, and amid the crowd, placed the necklace around Qin Shujian’s neck. He then took her hand, "Let’s go, to make our reservation."

Qin Shujian appeared bemused, "Haven’t we already made one?"

"When did we make one? By ’reservation’, I meant getting our marriage license. You can think it over, and after you’ve decided, we can have our wedding ceremony..."

"No, wait..."

"What do you mean ’no’? You agreed in front of all these reporters; you’re not thinking of backing out, are you?"

PS: If you’re not married... want to come make a ’reservation’ with me?
