I was rebellious by nature, but I ended up becoming a top influencer.

Let's go back to last Sunday night.

Luo Xun was strolling around a shopping mall in Xi'an with his girlfriend Yan Yin.

Luo Xun works as a programmer at an internet company, while Yan Yin works as an auditor at an accounting firm.

Programmers often work overtime, but Yan Yin has a more relaxed schedule. She can leave work on time, and no one can stop her.

Luo Xun usually gets home very late, so the two of them usually cook at home to save money. But every Sunday, they always go out shopping and eat delicious food together, which is a unique ritual for them.

The two of them don't have very high incomes right now, so they don't spend money recklessly. When they go shopping every Sunday, they just choose some snacks and eat some food, and they enjoy the fun of dating and shopping more.

The two started dating in their senior year of college and have been together for three years now.

Three years have passed, and the two have gone from being passionately in love to simply getting used to each other's presence every day.

However, Luo Xun has always felt somewhat inferior because his family is not well-off. They simply cannot afford a house in Xi'an, and even buying a house in his hometown is difficult.

This left Luo Xun with a constant sense of anxiety, fearing that Yan Yin would dislike him and break up with him.

Fortunately, Yan Yin never looked down on him. Instead, she moved in with him after graduating from university, keeping the rented apartment clean and tidy every day, and preparing dinner early after get off work to wait for him to come home for dinner.

"Is there an event in the atrium today? I see an LED screen has been set up!"

As the two passed through the courtyard, they saw a group of people busy at work. Luo Xun suddenly said, "Yan Yin, I got promoted to supervisor this week. Starting next month, my salary will increase by 2000 yuan!"

Yan Yin turned around in surprise: "You got promoted too? I was planning to surprise you at dinner later."

Luo Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, then overjoyed: "Really? That's great! Then we can save more money every month from now on."

Yan Yin is a little chubby, but her good looks make her appear very cute: "So, can I have a dessert as a reward today?"

Because of his weight, Luo Xun has been controlling Yan Yin's intake of sweets. Now that they've both been promoted and received a raise, they can't resist indulging a little.

"Come on, I have to get you two scoops of ice cream."

Luo Xun led Yan Yin into a dessert shop and ordered a dessert for her for 48 yuan. As soon as they sat down to wait for their food, Luo Xun felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

"What happened? You have a stomachache even before you've eaten anything cold? The food I made for lunch wasn't spicy at all!"

Seeing that her boyfriend was feeling unwell, Yan Yin nervously rushed over to help him.

"I feel a bit like I need to poop, can you wait here for me a bit?"

Luo Xun hurriedly clutched his stomach and walked out, which worried Yan Yin.

Since starting work, Luo Xun's schedule has become irregular, and his stomach isn't very good; he often suffers from stomach aches and diarrhea. For the past two years, I've tried my best to prepare light meals to soothe his stomach, but it still doesn't help because he's frequently uncomfortable.

"How about I take tomorrow off and go with him to get a colonoscopy?"

While worrying about her boyfriend, Yan Yin waited for her dessert to arrive.

Looking at the dessert in front of her, Yan Yin looked conflicted.

Three seconds later, Yan Yin decisively picked up the spoon.

Since you can't eat anything because you have diarrhea, I won't be polite.

Yan Yin ate a dessert slowly while scrolling through Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform). It took her more than ten minutes to realize that something was wrong.

Why did it take so long?

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Luo Xun, but didn't get a reply for a long time, which made her a little panicked. She quickly called back, only to find that his phone was turned off.

"Oh no, could it be that I've lost my phone?"

Yan Yin quickly got up and ran towards the bathroom. At that moment, a person dressed in a mascot costume suddenly appeared in front of her: "Miss, are you looking for this phone?"

Yan Yin was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other person was holding Luo Xun's phone.

How did you get my boyfriend's phone?

The person dressed as a mascot pointed to the atrium of the mall: "I found it there."

Yan Yin took the phone and walked in the direction the other person pointed. As soon as she reached the central courtyard, she saw the LED screen in the courtyard suddenly light up, and her own photo appeared on it. At the same time, a familiar voice rang out.

I can't forget the first time I saw you.

a pair of charming eyes

Your image in my mind

Unable to dispel

... "

Suddenly, a large crowd appeared around them. Yan Yin looked over and realized that they were her and Luo Xun's classmates, which made her suddenly have a guess.

Luo Xun was seen walking out of the crowd, playing his guitar.

Yan Yin's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. She looked at Luo Xun, who was walking towards her with deep affection, then at the photo of the two of them flashing on the LED screen behind him, and then at her classmates. Her suspicions grew stronger.

I'm just afraid I'll fall in love with you.

Perhaps one day I will be unable to resist...

Missing someone only makes you suffer.

Falling in love with you was something I couldn't help.

... "

As the chorus began, all the students joined in the sing-along, and the commotion in the courtyard immediately attracted many shoppers to come and watch. Many people took out their phones to film the scene.

Luo Xun sings well. I was initially attracted to him because I was captivated by his singing at a classmate get-together at a karaoke bar. After graduation, to save money, we hadn't been to a karaoke bar in a long time, and I hadn't heard Luo Xun sing in ages. I never expected to hear him sing here today.

When the chorus ended, Luo Xun did not choose to end the song. Instead, he reached out to the side and a bouquet of red roses was immediately handed to him, followed by a small box.

Yan Yin quickly covered her mouth with both hands. Although she had guessed it, when the moment came, she still felt a huge happiness and sweetness fill her chest.

"Ms. Yan Yin, will you marry me?"

Luo Xun knelt on one knee, holding flowers in one hand and a small gold ring in the other.

"Marry him!"

"Marry him!"

"Marry him!"

……

When the two men's classmates and customers at the scene saw this, they almost simultaneously started making a fuss, and everyone pointed their phones at the two men.

Yan Yin's best friend from the same dormitory walked up to her and put her arm around her shoulder: "Think it over before you make a decision, don't let everyone else hold you hostage."

Yan Yin looked down at the anxious Luo Xun. It was obvious that he had also heard his best friend's words, which made him even more nervous. However, she didn't want to make this man wait even a second longer.

"I do!"

Those three short words filled Luo Xun with immense joy. He trembled as he put the ring on Yan Yin's finger and then suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Bang!"

Several fireworks exploded above the couple's heads, followed by a shower of pink balloons that instantly transformed the entire atrium into a romantic sea.

"Give me a kiss!"

"Give me a kiss!"

"Give me a kiss!"

……

The atmosphere group got really excited, even more so than if they were being proposed to themselves. Everyone was clamoring for Luo Xun to kiss him. Just as Luo Xun was about to agree, Yan Yin grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the crowd.

"Hahaha!"

The two students' classmates laughed and followed them, eagerly posting the scene they had just filmed on Kuaiyin and WeChat Moments. The customers at the scene did the same.

Having escaped the crowd, Yan Yin happily leaned her head on Luo Xun's shoulder and wandered aimlessly for a while before suddenly realizing a problem: "With LEDs, flowers, and a rain of balloons, how much did this cost?"

"I didn't spend a single penny; it was sponsored by the shopping mall!"

"sponsor?"

"Well, the only requirement is that they can post my proposal on their account and promote it."

"Alright, you've got a good little scheme going on! This is a one-time exception, don't let it happen again!"

"Yes, my dear wife!"

……

Thirty minutes later, the short video, titled #Help! A Straight Man's Awkward Proposal Actually..., which had been carefully edited by the mall's planning department, was posted on a short video platform.

Thanks to the promotional efforts in the shopping mall, this short video quickly rose to the top of the local trending topics.
