I'm crazy, don't mess with me. I just love to pretend to be crazy, remember that.

Although I don't know why Xiaodao trusts the master so much.

But...

In order to make money, she was willing to transform into a werewolf.

These past few days, the first thing I do when I open my eyes is wait for his alternate account to send me a message.

Si Qian also made a hefty profit off him.

The foolish and rich Li Chuanze was completely unaware that something was wrong.

And Si Qian, this pseudo-master, also occasionally creates an air of mystery surrounding the missing master architect.

—Actually, she went to prepare for proposing to Pei Li.

That's right, in a moment of impulsiveness, Si Qian sought advice from her all-knowing WeChat Moments and was persuaded by her cronies to stage a dramatic and tear-jerking marriage proposal.

Leng Shao and his group claimed that this was an indispensable ritual for boys.

As for why it's described as earth-shattering and awe-inspiring...

The story goes back six hours.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and it's a calm and peaceful afternoon.

Pei Li, who had just left the company building after get off work, was harassed by a teddy bear dressed as Mu Weiyue and Chi Ye.

Two little bears surrounded him, forcefully stuffing flowers into Pei Li's arms.

However, Pei Li thought it was a scam, so he kept avoiding the two people.

The two had no choice but to bite the bullet and chase after them.

Just then, the van that Si Qian had hired for his professional team pulled up beside him, and a group of men dressed in black got out of the van...

Pei Li thought they were human traffickers from the underworld, so he immediately called the police.

The police station was just 200 meters away. When Officer Jiang arrived, he saw a group of people surrounding the van. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were causing a disturbance.

Seizing the opportunity, Si Qian sprinted across the crowd at top speed, clearing a path through the crowd before sliding in front of Pei Li.

He pulled out two enormous glass diamond rings from behind his back.

Then came a greasy head shake.

She handed two fake diamond rings to Pei Li, and meeting the man's surprised and uncertain gaze, Si Qian smiled wickedly and recited her lines—

"Rock sugar, brown sugar, nothing compares to walking down the aisle with you!"

"Please put aside your shyness and marry me immediately!"

Several gangster-like men quickly produced a stereo system as if by magic.

A melodious song came through the receiver—

Oh my love~

Let's get married~~

I really want to have a home with you~~~

Thankfully it's the Lantern Festival today, so there aren't many people outside.

Otherwise, the return rate would be absolutely amazing.

A passerby, out of curiosity, took out his phone and captured the scene.

Although you can't see the main characters proposing, you can still feel the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

Pei Li stood frozen in place for several seconds, unsure of how to react.

Seeing that he was still out of the loop, Si Qian, who was kneeling on one knee, could no longer squat down.

She quietly switched legs and continued kneeling on one knee.

"Brother, please don't make me lose face on such an important day, okay?"

"OK OK!"

Coming to his senses, Pei Li, with a strange expression, helped Si Qian up from the ground and began looking for his phone.

Seeing that he showed no joy whatsoever, Si Qian was dissatisfied.

"What do you mean? Are you unwilling?"

She embarrassed him?

As for that expression!

Pei Li's words were difficult to explain: "It's not that I'm unwilling..."

He hadn't expected Si Qian to pull this stunt today; he wasn't prepared at all.

He glanced at the mascots and the leader of the atmosphere team beside him, and explained gently to Si Qian—

"I thought it was a scam, so I just called the police."

Si Qian: "?"

Everyone: "???!"

Now it was everyone's turn to stop laughing.

Si Qian never expected that he had prepared such a big "surprise" for her.

Her smile froze on her lips, and her hand reacted before her brain could process it, pushing him away.

"Damn it, then hurry up and call back to explain!"

"I'm afraid it's too late..."

Why?

Pei Li pointed to Officer Jiang outside the crowd, and Si Qian turned her head in the direction he was pointing—

Then Officer Jiang, who was standing outside the crowd, squeezed in.

"Professor Si, you're quite a character!"

She ruined a perfectly good marriage proposal.

The bewildered police officer, Pei Li, and the passersby who turned and walked away...

And Si Qian, who was very protective of her own, apologized to Officer Jiang repeatedly.

Fortunately, Officer Jiang was an old acquaintance. After giving a few words of advice, he left with his colleagues.

Chi Ye took off his hood, patted Pei Li on the shoulder, and sincerely praised, "You're quite a talent!"

Mu Weiyue sighed and shook her head as she watched.

It's hopeless, hopeless...

The guy in charge of creating the atmosphere came over and asked Si Qian, "Boss, are we still going to set off the balloon fireworks we prepared?"

"I won't let go, I won't let go! Brother, you can take it home for your child to play with!"

Si Qian now just wants to end this absurd farce as soon as possible.

After quickly settling the final payment, she grabbed Pei Li and ran away without looking back.

A fan who recognized Si Qian but wasn't entirely sure shouted in their direction—

"Strong teacher!"

That shout shook the earth.

Si Qian paused, and subconsciously looked back.

Upon seeing that it was her in person, the fans behind her suddenly burst out laughing and shouted at her.

"Teacher Si, don't go, run!"

Si Qian stumbled and almost fell.

Fans were still teasing her: "Can you run?!"

"OK!"

Si Qian and Pei Li practically fled in disarray.

All she wants now is to move to a different city.

Bang--!

Si Qian casually slammed the car door shut and sped home.

Pei Li, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and turned his head to look at the woman's profile.

"Mr. Krabs..."

He called softly.

"Shut up!"

Let her calm down first.

-

The first thing Si Qian did when she got home was to go to the balcony to review all the stupid things she had done that day.

It's true that people can't empathize with their past selves.

It didn't work a few hours ago.

Pei Li gave her half an hour to relax.

Half an hour later, he opened the sliding glass door to the balcony.

"Mr. Krabs, can I have a moment to speak now?"

"Okay."

After receiving her permission, Pei Li walked in and pulled the door back closed, creating a small, secluded space.

Si Qian smoothed her hair and saw him with his hands behind his back, looking very cautious. She couldn't help but feel uneasy as well.

"what do you want to say?"

Pei Li took out the bouquet he had prepared in advance from behind his back, his eyes smiling.

"Actually, I was planning to propose today too."

It was originally intended as a surprise, but she beat me to it.

Si Qian opened her mouth, but for a moment forgot to react.

Pei Li continued offering the flowers, his dark eyes seemingly shimmering with the gentleness of spring water: "I've always felt that I need to take the initiative when it comes to proposing."

"why?"

"Perhaps it's because you've already done all the things that I, as your boyfriend, should do."

Whether it's sending flowers or gifts...

I really had absolutely no room to maneuver.

"Just consider it a chance for me to show my skills."

Si Qian thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

"Alright, I'll let you win this time!"

"...At times like this, you shouldn't be so competitive."

Pei Li couldn't help but laugh and speak.

Si Qian took the flowers without hesitation.

Inside were white moonflowers and small oranges, which looked quite harmonious at first glance.

Si Qian hugged the flowers to her chest, feeling pleasantly surprised: "I thought they were roses, but they're moonflowers and oranges!"

It really hit her aesthetic right.

While Si Qian was looking down at the bouquet, Pei Li took out a gray velvet box from his pocket.

Then I took out a wedding ring that I had expedited to order two weeks ago from the ring setting.

It was the same style as the brooch that Si Qian had given him.

A large yellow diamond is surrounded by a ring of small white diamonds, forming a full moon shape.

"Mr. Krabs, I—"

Looking up, I saw Si Qian had already started eating the oranges from the bouquet.

Si Qian, who had just popped an orange into her mouth, forgot to swallow when she saw the ring he handed her.

She mumbled incoherently, rolled her eyes, and struggled to swallow the fruit.

"No, you didn't say there was this part!"

"...?"

Do I even need to say it?

However, Bae Ri-gwan will reflect on himself.

"It's my fault, I didn't think it through."

Si Qian didn't have time to listen to what he was saying; she just hurriedly took out the ring she had ordered some time ago from her pocket.

"What a coincidence! I also ordered a similar wedding ring!"

I originally intended to take it out when I proposed.

I forgot about it because it was too embarrassing.

Si Qianding designed a pair of moon-shaped wedding rings; when the two rings are together, they form a full moon, and when they are apart, they form a crescent moon.

They have to admit they're incredibly in sync.

Pei Li sighed, "Perhaps this is a double blessing."

Most people propose first and then get their marriage certificate.

They were the two who did the opposite of what others did.

After exchanging rings, Si Qian, who was determined to carry out the ritual to the end, planned to take a picture to commemorate the occasion. Seeing that Pei Li's hands were empty, she looked around the living room.

Then she took the roses from the flowerpot and put them in his hand.

Si Qian: "Just play along, we only have red roses at home tonight, I'll make you some other ones tomorrow!"

Pei Li: "Then I only want the Moonflower."

Si Qian: "Is this all you want?"

Pei Li looked up at the night sky—

"Ah."

Roses are good, and oranges aren't the only fruit.

But the moon is unique.
