Rose petals are bright red like fire, with their verdant leaves, just like Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu.
"You, you even brought flowers." Tang Yue’s eyes were filled with the vibrant red roses, but what surprised her even more was that Mo Siyu would actually bring flowers.
Little fairy, a nickname she liked.
"Congratulations to our little fairy on completing her high school graduation exams," Mo Siyu said as he handed her the flowers, then hugged her along with the bouquet.
"Be careful with the flowers." Tang Yue quickly spoke up, carefully protecting the flowers.
Mo Siyu: ...
Chu Hong, come out, you said it was good to give roses, but he thought to himself, why do these roses seem to be so... bothersome.
"Um, what if I don’t get accepted into college?" Tang Yue asked with a tilt of her head, purposely pouting her lips.
The bright red flowers made Tang Yue’s face seem even more delicate and attractive.
Mo Siyu said, "That’s perfect, marry me, and go to Jing City."
Tang Yue: ...
Alright, she shouldn’t have asked such a silly question.
"Xiao Yue, I believe in you, you’ll definitely get into a university in Jing City," Mo Siyu added.
"The universities in Jing City have high entry requirements, aren’t you afraid that I won’t get in and make you lose face?" Tang Yue tilted her head, batting her eyelids flirtatiously, her expression playful and irresistibly cute.
"I trust you," Mo Siyu affirmed with a succinct three words, giving Tang Yue immense trust.
Tang Yue’s heart bloomed with joy.
"The lakes in Xiushui Town are beautiful, with vast lotus ponds. When the lotus flowers bloom, we can pick fresh lotus seeds. I heard there’s a mountain there, and on that mountain, there’s Wangjiang Pavilion. Watching the sunrise from there is incredibly beautiful," Mo Siyu said slowly and deliberately, his deep eyes full of anticipation as he gazed at her.
"You and Uncle Mo set a time." Tang Yue smiled gently, reminding him, "My parents might come along too, so, by then, you..."
"It’s alright, the more the merrier," Mo Siyu thought that he might visit the Tang Family with Mo Xiaolin, even if they couldn’t get married yet, they could at least get engaged.
"Hehe." Tang Yue, holding the roses, laughed joyously, completely unaware of Mo Siyu’s thoughts of getting engaged.
The scenery along the riverbanks was beautiful, and with just a few casual exchanges, the sky had already darkened.
"Xiao Yue, this is for you." Mo Siyu handed her a passbook.
Tang Yue said, "Uncle Mo, you really trust me too much. I still have the previous passbook, and here you are giving another one. You don’t happen to be out of money for food, do you?"
"How could that be." Mo Siyu said earnestly, "In the future, you’ll be my wife. My wife should manage the money. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Right, that’s absolutely right.
The problem is, they are not yet married.
However, when he used the words ’my wife’, Tang Yue’s heart truly felt sweet. She looked up and said, "Uncle Mo, you should keep the money for the dowry. If you have no money for a dowry, my parents definitely won’t agree."
"Aren’t you going to see how much money is inside?" Mo Siyu arched an eyebrow and asked.
"I won’t look." Tang Yue replied without hesitation, "Uncle Mo, whether it’s a lot or a little, if you have more money, will you not marry me then?"
"Uh-huh, he has good taste, but now that you’ve finished high school, has he mentioned when he’ll come to our house?" Zhang Hualian asked.
Even though her daughter was in a relationship with Mo Siyu, they were not married or even officially engaged, which left them without a formal status; Zhang Hualian always felt that such interactions were not appropriate.
"Uh..." Tang Yue hesitated, Mo Siyu indeed mentioned marriage several times, but he never specified when he would visit the Tang Family.
Zhang Hualian muttered, "Xiao Yue, you’re going to university soon. I don’t oppose your relationship, but..."
"Mom, I know, I promise I won’t do anything to embarrass you," Tang Yue assured her repeatedly.
Meanwhile.
At the Mo Family.
Mo Siyu said earnestly to Mo Xiaolin, "Mom, shouldn’t we pick a date to visit the Tang Family?"
"Sure!" Mo Xiaolin instantly became excited, "Si Yu, I’ve wanted to propose to the Tang Family for a long time, but we had to wait until Xiao Yue finished her exams. Now that the exams are over, why not go tomorrow?"
Mo Xiaolin, always quick to act, immediately began to flip through the calendar, "Tomorrow is a good day. How about we make the proposal visit tomorrow?"
"Isn’t tomorrow a bit too soon? Besides, we are not prepared," Mo Siyu reminded her, "And we shouldn’t neglect the proper customs, right?"
"Look at me," Mo Xiaolin smacked her forehead, overwhelmed with excitement. She was right; they needed to handle this properly according to custom, so she immediately went to consult with her brother-in-law, Mo Xiaoxian.
"Sister-in-law, what should we do if we want to propose to the Tang Family?" Mo Xiaolin was clueless in this regard. When she got married, it was a different era where simply getting a certificate in front of everyone constituted marriage – not like nowadays with so many customs to consider.
"There are many considerations," Deng Yuhua said excitedly, explaining heaps to Mo Xiaolin. They had thought that Mo Siyu wouldn’t get married any time soon, but now the topic was suddenly on the table.
