Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

We spent a busy month in Shenzhou, busy writing the system. Our lives revolved around it from morning till night. This project was too important to slack off. With Qixi Festival approaching, shopping malls and street vendors were already promoting their Qixi promotions. We saw advertisements for Qixi promotions everywhere we went.

"Qixi Festival is coming, why don't we take a day off?" Rong Zixuan asked for my opinion while driving.

“But this project…”

"A day off won't hurt. Besides, we're ahead of schedule. We've been working from morning till night for the past month and we're exhausted. Just one day off is enough."

“But I’m still uneasy.”

"Why are you so uneasy? Are you still doubting our abilities? It's okay. And it's best to relax in moderation, just like a bowstring that's too tight will break. We've been too tight this month, so we need to loosen it up a bit. I've already asked Xiao Yuan, and he said it's okay, it's all up to us, he just wants the results."

"OK then"

“You’re even more of a workaholic than I am.”

"This project is really important. I also want our company to survive."

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Rong Zixuan is right. I've been putting too much pressure on myself this month. I've been too focused on success. I've enjoyed the beauty of a prosperous life and want it, but I've been too impatient and put too much pressure on myself. I need to release the pressure within myself, otherwise it will consume me.

The day before Qixi Festival, I worked overtime until after ten o'clock. Only after Rong Zixuan's repeated persuasion did I turn off my computer and go to sleep. But before I fell asleep, I couldn't stop thinking about writing code. I don't know when I fell asleep. The next day, when I woke up, I turned over and touched Rong Zixuan, but found no one nearby. I got up bleary-eyed and took a look. Sure enough, no one was there. I checked my phone. It was now 8:30 in the morning. Time to get up! After washing up, I walked into the living room. Breakfast was already prepared on the table. Rong Zixuan, wearing an apron, was still working at the stove.

"Wake up, I've prepared breakfast."

"You got up so early?"

"Today is Qixi Festival, I will take care of you"

"You get up early to knead flour and make buns?" I picked up the bun on the table and took a bite.

"Hahaha, stop being so picky about words. I bought the buns, I made the porridge, and I'm frying an egg now."

"No, there are only two of us. You've already bought steamed buns, fried dough sticks, dumplings, steamed buns, and rice rolls. Why are you still making porridge and frying eggs?"

“I didn’t know what you wanted to eat, so I prepared it.”

"You know I'm not picky about food, what a waste!"

"That's all there is to it, and I have a big appetite so I can finish it all. Your roommate said you were straight before, but I finally understand now."

"You straight man, you still complain about me"

"That's right. In TV dramas, the hero prepares breakfast for the heroine, and the heroine is always very surprised and touched. But you, on the other hand, are first concerned about whether it can be finished and whether it will be wasted," Rong Zixuan said with a smile, and the louder he laughed, the more he spoke.

"I'm used to it. When I was young, resources were limited, so I developed the habit of frugality. And even if we have enough money to buy a lot, waste is still not advisable. It's not just a matter of money."

"Yes, my dear wife! I will eat them all in a moment."

Rong Zixuan put the fried eggs in front of me and said, "Please enjoy it."

"How did you make the heart-shaped eggs?" I asked with a smile.

“Use a mold.”

"I say you are a straight man but you don't admit it. Can't you say some sweet words, such as 'I made it with my heart, but you just molded it right away'," I said with disgust.

"Neither of us should look down on each other. A straight man and a straight woman are a perfect match!" He put his arms around my neck, kissed me and said.

I stopped eating after I was only 50% full, and said, "I'm full, take your time eating."

"Just eat that little. It's just for breakfast. Eating too much will affect your next meal."

"We're going to the amusement park later, can I not finish all this?" Rong Zixuan begged me with a smile, "Eating too much and playing games will make your stomach hurt."

"Can"

"Long live my wife," he rushed over and kissed me.

"Ah! You just finished eating fried dough sticks and your mouth is full of oil, yet you come to kiss me!" I pushed him away.

"You actually despise me," he said coquettishly like a little child.

"I'm going to put on makeup, it will be too late and the sun will be too strong."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll clean up the dishes."

I spent an hour putting on my makeup, and Rong Zixuan played games for an hour. We arrived at the amusement park. Although it was Qixi Festival today, there were fewer people than on weekends. I guess everyone was at work, after all, today was a workday. This brings us to the benefits of starting your own business. You can run your own company whenever you want, and you can stay at home whenever you don't want to. I didn't want to play any of the exciting games, but Rong Zixuan, who is a straight man, insisted on dragging me along: the pendulum, the roller coaster, the bungee jumping machine... I suddenly felt that there were too few people at the amusement park today. How come we were able to get a spot on every ride! After a series of rides, I was so dizzy that I was staggering and even wanted to vomit.

"I can't do it anymore, you play by yourself!" I squatted in the corner and said weakly to Rong Zixuan after I finished jumping off the bungee.

"Hahahaha, how fun!"

"It's fun! Which girl likes to play this kind of game?"

"Hahahahahahaha, then let's stop playing and go ride the carousel."

"No, no, no, even spinning ones won't work. I feel dizzy now."

"Then let's take a break first."

We rested in the pavilion of the amusement park for half an hour, and my stomach started to growl.

"You're hungry, let's go eat."

"Go buy me some fried chicken. I'm so dizzy from all the work you've done. I want something spicy to perk me up."

"Okay, then you wait for me here."

We stayed at the amusement park until two o'clock, then headed to the mall for some shopping. It was so hot, we should have been enjoying the air conditioning at the mall instead of sweltering in the sun! Once we got to the mall, I had to give Rong Zixuan a good rip! I went into a designer clothing store, tried on a few dresses, and said I wanted them all. Rong Zixuan paid for them right there without a second thought. I'd forgotten how indifferent he was about money; he almost always agreed to whatever I asked for. I couldn't prank him to the point of feeling weird. I was also very surprised to be pranking my fiancé on Qixi Festival! As I bought more things, I gradually forgot about the prank.

As night fell, twinkling lights outside began to light up, and we walked hand in hand on the busy street.

"Do you still remember how we spent Chinese Valentine's Day last year?"

"I remember when we first arrived in the United States and were unfamiliar with the stoves there, we almost blew up the house."

“We also tried to make our own cakes, but American cakes were too sweet. We were unsuccessful in the end.”

“It didn’t work out, but it was the best cake I’ve ever had.”

"Do the streets of Deep State look like the streets of New York?"

"It's like, but not like. It's like because no matter whether it's New York or Shenzhou, I'm still holding your hand. It's not like because there aren't as many pedestrians in New York at night as in Shenzhou. It's almost just you and me on the streets of New York, as if there are only you and me left in the world."

"When we got back, Senior Brother Wen warned us not to go out at night. The examples he mentioned still terrify me."

"Yeah, but it's okay, I'll protect you."

"I've always wanted to ask you, during the American mall shooting, you risked your life to protect me, and weren't you afraid when faced with live ammunition? We had only been dating for less than a year at the time. Was it worth it for someone you'd only been with for less than a year?"

"There's no such thing as worth or not worth it in love. If you weigh the pros and cons, it's not love anymore. When you're deeply in love, many of your body movements are subconscious. I only had one thought in my mind at the time: to protect you! If anything had happened to you, I would have followed you. I don't want to live alone without you!"

I stopped and looked at him lovingly, and he smiled back at me. Deep in love, we embraced and kissed. The sound of cars speeding by and the sidelong glances of passersby didn't disturb us. At that moment, I truly felt like we were the only ones left in the world. I couldn't hear any other sounds except the beating of his heart. I wished time would stop at this moment, for I was the happiest at this moment! I don't know how long it took before we slowly separated our lips and gazed at each other with deep affection. Rong Zixuan held me tightly, and we walked down the street for a long, long time, talking a lot.

It was a little after ten when we arrived at the door. I searched my bag for the key, but he snatched it away and said, "Let me open it." After finding the key, Rong Zixuan slowly opened the door and gestured for me to come in. I walked into the house and was greeted by a room full of balloons and flowers. I was so captivated by the scene that I covered my mouth. Rong Zixuan walked over to the table, holding a large bouquet of roses and walked in front of me. He knelt on one knee, held the roses in front of me and said softly, "For you, my princess!"

Every girl can't resist the roses from her lover. I excitedly took the roses and buried my head in his arms.

"Wait a moment," he said, helping me stand upright. He opened a cabinet in the living room and took out a box. He pulled out a necklace and put it around my neck. "This necklace is called Eternal Love, which means our love will last forever."

After a series of surprises, I was really moved and cried with joy in his arms. He also hugged me tightly. At this moment, we both wanted to melt into each other's body and become one, never to be separated!
