In just a short while, Zhu Tiantian's phone started vibrating and got very hot, making a continuous "buzzing" sound.

Fortunately, no one noticed her. Zhu Tiantian checked the messages in the group chat:

"Holy crap, where did this fairy come from? How can she be so beautiful?"

"What incredible luck Zhu Rui has! If only I were decades younger..."

"Where are you guys? I'm flying over right now, I want to get close to some beautiful girls too!"

"When are you getting married? I'll give you a big red envelope. Let's set a date soon!"

"When I got married, I asked to be the best man because I'm obedient, hardworking, and handsome."

"I want to be the godparent of your future children, so please don't compete with me for it..."

The messages in the group were becoming increasingly outrageous, and there was a growing amount of speculation and hype surrounding the post. Zhu Tiantian stopped reading them closely.

He only replied to his parents with a message: "We haven't caught him yet, don't worry, I'll let you both know as soon as I have any news."

My parents sent me a red envelope containing 100 million yuan, with the note: "Message fee!"

Zhu Tiantian was overjoyed. Such a good thing! It seemed Zhu Rui wasn't entirely useless after all; she also quite wanted Huang Xian'er to be her sister-in-law.

She observed Huang Xian'er's expression when facing Zhu Rui. Her eyes were clear, and her face showed no shyness. It seemed that she had no romantic feelings for Zhu Rui.

Huo Jue saw Huang Mingyue's message the next afternoon. He had been secretly training these past few days, and his phone had been locked in a cabinet.

The message prompted Huo Jue to quickly ask for leave, change clothes, and take a taxi straight to the Huang family's house.

He hadn't yet confessed his feelings to Huang Xian'er, and with more and more outstanding men around her, it was impossible for him not to worry.

When they passed a flower shop, Huo Jue asked the driver to wait for him and picked out 99 red roses to take with him.

He confessed his feelings today. No matter the outcome, at least he took the first step. If he didn't confess, he was afraid he would regret it.

Huang Xian'er and Zhu Tiantian and Zhu Rui had just returned home when they heard that Huo Jue had arrived, which surprised them somewhat.

It's been almost half a year since our last class reunion. Could it be that he's here to see her about something?

Seeing Huo Jue arrive with roses, the Huang family understood the situation. After warmly welcoming him, they pretended to be busy and left.

They were all just watching the drama unfold from hidden spots.

Hearing footsteps, Huo Jue stood up nervously, maintaining a calm expression, but his reddened ear tips betrayed his true feelings.

Even when Huang Xian'er came to him, Huo Jue just stared at her, his starry eyes filled with deep affection, and his hands holding the flowers trembled slightly.

"Is this for me?" Huang Xian'er broke the silence when he didn't speak.

The Huang family members watching the scene were extremely anxious, scratching their heads and wishing they could rush forward to help him confess his feelings.

"Yes...yes," Huo Jue felt his face burning. After handing her the flowers, he took a deep breath.

"Xian'er, I fell in love with you at first sight. Although we haven't met often, I've already fallen deeply in love with you. If you think I'm alright, I hope you can accept my love!"

There were no fancy words, no grand declarations of love; just like Huo Jue's profession, it was straightforward and direct.

Huang Xian'er could sense his sincerity; she wasn't indifferent to Huo Jue either.

The original owner's only wish was to have someone who truly loved her, so accepting Huo Jue's love would not cause her any loss. Once she accepted, she would definitely be loyal to this relationship.

Huo Jue didn't hear Huang Xian'er's reply, and he assumed that Huang Xian'er was unwilling to accept his feelings.

A thousand thoughts raced through Huo Jue's mind, but in the end, they all boiled down to one: if Huang Xian'er did not accept his feelings, he would continue to protect her.

The Huang family members who were watching the drama unfold felt it was a pity that such a suitable son-in-law, grandson-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law had been chosen, and they all sighed.

“Okay, I accept!” Huang Xian’er’s beautiful and melodious voice rang out.

Huo Jue felt as if the voice was from outer space, making his internal organs boil.

He gently took the roses from Huang Xian'er's arms, then hugged her tightly. "Xian'er, say it again,"

Just as Huang Xian'er was about to speak, a gasp of "Yay!" came from the side. She instinctively nudged Huo Jue.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jue changed from holding her to embracing her, and together they faced the Huang family members.

The Huang family patriarch, grandmother (Song Qing), Huang Xian'er's father (Huang Tianming), mother (Bao Meiru), Huang Minghao, and Huang Mingyue all stood there smiling as they watched the two of them.

Huang Xian'er was extremely embarrassed and pinched Huo Jue's waist hard.

This amount of pressure felt like a massage to Huo Jue. Holding Huang Xian'er's hand, he said, "Be good, don't pinch your hand too hard."

Huo Jue winked at Huang Mingyue, signaling her to "take a picture." Huang Mingyue understood immediately, took out her phone, snapped a picture of the scene, and sent it to Huo Jue.

As a soldier, how could Huo Jue not know that the Huang family members were right there?

The fact that the Huang family did not refuse meant that they agreed to his confession. As long as Huang Xian'er agreed, the Huang family would not stop him.

Grandpa Huang waved his hand and said that to celebrate Huang Xian'er's new relationship, the whole family should go out for a meal.

Huang Xian'er also contacted Zhu Tiantian to see if she minded having dinner with her family, but Zhu Tiantian hadn't said anything yet.

Zhu Rui listened intently and nodded vigorously, even feeling that since he was about to meet Huang Xian'er's family, he had to make a good impression. He started rummaging through his suitcase, preparing what to wear that evening...

From the moment Huang Xian'er accepted Huo Jue's confession, the two became inseparable, like conjoined twins, never wanting to be apart for a moment.

When Huang Xian'er read, Huo Jue would bring her tea and water, and feed her snacks; when Huang Xian'er exercised, Huo Jue would help wipe her sweat and hand her water...

In short, Huo Jue followed Huang Xian'er wherever she went, much to the dismay of the Huang family. They never expected Huo Jue to be like this, so different from the legends!

……

When Zhu Tiantian and Zhu Rui arrived at the designated private room, the Huang family was already seated. After greeting everyone, they found seats and sat down.

Huo Jue sat to Huang Xian'er's left, and Huang Mingyue sat to her right. Zhu Rui, who was sitting next to Huang Xian'er, had no chance.

So he chose to sit opposite Huang Xian'er and stare at her intently, his direct gaze drawing Huo Jue's displeasure.

The moment Zhu Rui entered, Huo Jue already felt a sense of crisis.

At the same time, I'm glad I confessed my feelings quickly enough, otherwise Zhu Rui would have been a formidable rival.

Huo Jue deliberately fed fruit to Huang Xian'er, who was looking down at her phone, which finally caught Zhu Rui's attention.

And so, the two equally matched men engaged in a battle of wits.

The Huang family members standing nearby became onlookers again, and some even thought that Zhu Rui seemed pretty good.

Zhu Tiantian felt that her brother Zhu Rui didn't seem to have much of a chance.

You see, the people across from her are all feeding Huang Xian'er, and she hasn't refused.

Huo Jue was even playing with Huang Xian'er's hand, and Huang Xian'er seemed to approve.

Zhu Tiantian gave her brother a look that said, "Poor thing, you've missed your chance."

Zhu Rui was still locked in a fierce eye-to-eye battle with Huo Jue and didn't catch her gaze.
