Chapter 57
The end of June was the date for his sister Yu Xin's high school entrance exam. Seeing that Yan Shiting had become completely adept at taking care of the baby, Lin Jiarong returned to the south province to take care of Yu Xin at the end of May.
Early June was Y University's graduation ceremony.
That day, Yan Shiting brought Yuanyuan to observe the ceremony.
He held Yuanyuan, trying to stand in the corner as much as possible, yet some people still noticed him.
Those people just assumed he was there to watch Yan Sui's graduation, not finding his presence unexpected, but were still quite surprised that President Yan actually had a child.
There were some discussions on campus, but no one dared to approach Yan Shiting.
After the graduation ceremony ended, Yu Li and Yan Sui came over to Yan Shiting.
Yan Sui took his camera to the photography club, joining the members to take photos for people.
Yu Li played with Yuanyuan a bit, then looked up at Yan Shiting, "Brother, let's take a group photo too?"
Besides the one on their marriage certificate and the one taken during the new program competition, they didn't have many photos together.
After confessing his past feelings to Yu Li, Yan Shiting's gaze had become even more gentle.
He nodded, and had Yan Sui take a photo of them.
Under the tree shade, Yuanyuan was held in Yan Shiting's arms, Yu Li leaning against Yan Shiting, their hands intertwined, looking at the camera together.
"Click—"
They had added another photo, and there would be more to come in the future.
...
At the end of June, after Yu Xin's high school entrance exam, Lin Jiarong brought her to Y City to see Yuanyuan.
Wang Jianfeng also accompanied them.
Seeing Yu Xin's attitude of not rejecting Wang Jianfeng, Yu Li understood something.
He looked at Wang Jianfeng, receiving a grateful look from the other party.
If it weren't for that conversation with Yu Li, knowing that Yu Li and Yu Xin supported their mother having a new life, he wouldn't have made the decision to explain everything to Yu Xin.
Now that Yu Xin was gradually accepting him, and he and Lin Jiarong were already together, just lacking the marriage.
In Wang Jianfeng's heart, Yu Li deserved the credit for all this.
Yu Li was also relieved.
On July 2nd, a sunny day.
Around 3 p.m., Butler He said he had arranged for Lin Jiarong's group to go out and play, and asked Yu Li to join them.
Yu Li didn't suspect anything, but when he arrived at the destination after an hour's drive, he realized that the place Butler He had arranged was an amusement park, and Lin Jiarong's group was not there.
Butler He then explained, "The mother-in-law and the others have already arrived, and are taking little Yuanyuan swimming in the baby park. Mr. Qu, you can go play first, they'll join you later."
Yu Li nodded and got out of the car.
The amusement park could be said to be a place that most children long for.
Yu Li and his sister Yu Xin had never come to play here all these years.
Standing at the entrance of the amusement park, Yu Li was a bit nostalgic.
Suddenly, Yan Shiting walked over to him and took his hand.
"Let's go."
Yu Li immediately understood that the arrangement to come here today was definitely decided by Yan Shiting.
Last winter when he was confused, he had mentioned to Yan Shiting that he had always wanted to come to an amusement park.
Thinking about this, Yu Li's heart raced a little.
He grasped Yan Shiting's hand and nodded, "Okay!"
The two of them entered the amusement park, and Yu Li found that there weren't many people, and most of them were leaving the park.
It was his first time here, so he didn't know if it was because it was already afternoon.
Yu Li didn't mind.
Yan Shiting accompanied him to ride the carousel, Ferris wheel, play the shooting game, and then rode the roller coaster.
When they got off the roller coaster, Yu Li felt dizzy and his complexion was a bit pale.
That feeling of weightless dizziness was too terrifying.
Seeing the pirate ship and sky-scraping rides behind, Yu Li pressed his lips tightly, still not planning to experience everything in one day.
He sat down on a bench, taking the water Yan Shiting handed him and taking a sip.
Yan Shiting wiped the sweat from his face with a wet wipe, "Let's stop here for today, we can try the other rides next time."
It was in line with Yu Li's own thoughts.
After resting for a while and drinking the water, the discomfort finally disappeared.
It was already past 6 p.m., not as hot anymore.
Yu Li saw on the advertisement board that the amusement park would have a themed flower car parade at 7 p.m., followed by fireworks.
He led Yan Shiting to find a good viewing spot.
Unexpectedly, there seemed to be no other visitors in the amusement park, and along the flower car parade route, Yu Li didn't see any other people.
At 7 p.m., the sky had darkened.
Romantic piano music played in the amusement park, and two tall white horses pulled a flower car decorated with pink and white roses out of the dry ice mist.
There were two staff members dressed in rabbit mascot costumes on the flower car, waving at Yu Li and Yan Shiting on the side.
On both sides of the flower car, there were also two rows of staff dressed in knight costumes.
As the flower car approached closer, the staff member in the blue rabbit costume extended their hand, gesturing for Yu Li and Yan Shiting to get on.
Is this a way to interact with the visitors?
Before Yu Li could react, he was pulled by the waist by Yan Shiting and lifted onto the flower car.
After steadying himself, he saw that familiar faces had gradually appeared on both sides of the road.
His mother and sister, his friends Yan Sui and Liu Cong, as well as Butler He, Doctor Yan, Yan Mingyao, Xu Changke...
Yuanyuan was also in Lin Jiarong's arms, curiously looking at the flower car.
Yu Li's heart raced, as if he understood something.
He turned his head, meeting Yan Shiting's gaze.
The flower car slowly came to a stop.
Yan Shiting held a velvet box, containing two rings inside.
"Yu Li," Yan Shiting again solemnly addressed his name as before.
"The normal marriage process should start with a proposal, then the wedding ceremony and registration.
"When I initially proposed marriage to you, it was too formal, like discussing a cooperation or negotiation, lacking the feeling of talking about emotions. But I'm also grateful that you took the initiative to come to my side, and gave me the opportunity to stay by your side. I hope you can give me one more chance to complete the remaining two procedures."
He paused, looking deeply at Yu Li, and asked, "Will you marry me?"
The evening breeze carried the scent of the roses on the flower car.
Under the quiet night sky, Yu Li just looked into Yan Shiting's deep, gentle eyes.
Finally, he smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The corners of Yan Shiting's mouth lifted.
This smile was deeply etched into Yu Li's eyes.
Yan Shiting lowered his gaze, taking out a slightly smaller ring and putting it on Yu Li's ring finger.
He caressed Yu Li's fingers, solemnly saying again, "Thank you, Yu Li."
Yu Li smiled, taking the other ring.
When he put the slightly larger ring on Yan Shiting's finger, the night sky suddenly burst into a spectacular fireworks display.
Yu Li turned his head, seeing the dazzling fireworks illuminate the night sky, the dark blue clouds seemingly becoming more colorful.
He shifted his gaze, looking at Yan Shiting beside him, smiling lightly.
"Also, thank you, Brother, for coming into my world."
This was the most beautiful and cutest proposal I have ever read.
