No. 07, District Nine

Early July.

Chu Yu was tormented by Qiao Yu recently to the point of going crazy.

I don't know why he's going crazy. Since mid-June, the three messages in the morning, noon and evening every day are all one sentence, "I'm getting married, July [-]th."

Chu Yu looked at her and wanted to scold her.

Although it was annoying, Chu Yu was also envious.He completely understood Qiao Yu's mood. He used to be excited every day that he was going to marry his favorite Li Yan.

Although the two are reconciled now, except for the last time Li Yan took him to meet his parents, he never talked about various things about marriage.

This inevitably made Chu Yu a little sad, but he didn't dare to mention...

After thinking about it, Chu Yu felt that she should take the initiative. Li Yan was not in a hurry, but he was a little anxious.

Li Yan woke up this day, and habitually reached out to touch the place around him, only to find that there was no one there.

If he used to be more angry or upset, but now he is used to it.

In the past week, Chu Yu always left early and returned late, and usually didn't even send text messages or phone calls. Li Yan couldn't help thinking, is Chu Yu really so busy?

Get out of bed and wash up as usual, then eat the breakfast that Chu Yulin prepared before going out, clean up the dishes and start playing games by yourself, the whole morning passed like this.

There was still no news from Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was not at home, and he became bored playing games by himself. Li Yan threw the controller aside and lay on the ground looking at the ceiling.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Li Yan turned over to get the cell phone beside him, and connected the call after seeing that the contact was Chu Yu.

"what?"

"What are you doing?" Chu Yu asked.

"Well... nothing, what's wrong?"

"I'll pick you up later for dinner, okay?"

Li Yan rolled his eyes twice, and replied, "Uh... that's fine too."

"Okay, then I'll call you tonight."

Li Yan opened his mouth, but before he could reply, the other person hung up the phone.

He looked at the turned off screen and couldn't help thinking, when did Chu Yu not want to chat with him anymore.If he remembered correctly, in the past even if Chu Yu was too busy to eat, he would have to talk to him a few more times.

The more he thought about it, the more irritated Li Yan didn't want to think about it at all, so he simply closed his eyes and slept for a while, to see what kind of trouble Chu Yu was going to make at night.

When he woke up, he looked at the time and it was already six o'clock in the evening. He didn't know when Chu Yu would ask him to go out, so he decided to tidy up now.

It was already very hot in July, so Li Yan casually found cool and comfortable clothes to put on.Anyway, they both know each other well, it's just a meal, so what's the point of dressing so nicely.

Li Yan went to the bathroom to wash his face, and tied up his hair with a small rubber band.When combing his hair with his fingers, Li Yan found that his hair was a bit long. He had tied his hair up recently so he didn't notice it. Now that he took a closer look, it really should be trimmed.

But Li Yan came up with an idea to grow long hair.

He changed his hairstyle and tied his hair into a half bun, which made him look a lot younger...

No, he was very young, he was only 28!

After tidying up, Chu Yu still didn't call, the sky gradually darkened, Li Yan slumped on the sofa, and didn't bother to turn on the light, and slowly felt the room getting darker and darker, until there was no light at all.

Turn on the phone, it is already 09:30.

Chu Yu still didn't call.

He is not lying to himself, is he?

Li Yan sat up abruptly, staring at the contacts on the phone screen, but did not press the call button for a long time.

Finally, after three minutes of ideological struggle, Li Yan finally planned to call Chu Yu to ask what was going on.

"..."

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Following the beeps one after another, Li Yan's mood also became tense.

Could something have happened...

Just as Li Yan was about to put down his phone, the call was finally connected.

"Hello?" Chu Yu's voice was the same as usual, which relieved Li Yan.

"Where are you?"

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and then Chu Yu said, "Open the door."

Li Yan turned to look at the door, then slowly stood up and walked over there.

With a 'click', the door lock opened.Li Yan tentatively pushed open the door, and standing in front of him was Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was dressed in a suit, making his figure even more slender, and his hair was also slicked down, making him look more energetic.Holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, he was smiling at Li Yan.

"..." Li Yan looked Chu Yu up and down, then twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yu handed the flowers to Li Yan and said, "I planned to give you a surprise when you went out, but you didn't go out all day..."

"..." The co-author Chu Yu stayed outside the door all day today?

Li Yan took the flowers, fiddled with them casually, and asked, "Why did you remember doing this today?"

The eyes of the two met, Chu Yu finally let out a breath after looking into Li Yan's eyes for a long while in silence.As if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth, then got short and knelt on the ground with one knee.

Li Yan was taken aback by this, he quickly took two steps back, and then stretched out a hand: "Hey, I can't bear it, you can get up quickly, what are you doing?"

Chu Yu shook her head, but did not take Li Yan's hand.He took out a small box from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a pair of delicate rings.

In fact, the moment Chu Yu appeared in front of the door in a suit, Li Yan guessed it. He always thought that such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon...

The surface of the ring is smooth and flat, without any extra decorations, not even diamonds.But Li Yan knew that this was his favorite style.

Chu Yu blinked her eyes, then her voice trembled slightly: "Li Yan, will you marry me?"

"...Ah?" Li Yan subconsciously uttered a rhetorical tone, and the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

It's not that he doesn't want to, he just doesn't think he's ready.

Chu Yu didn't speak, but stared at Li Yan seriously and affectionately, quietly waiting for Li Yan's answer.

Although there was nothing else to say, Chu Yu's eyes seemed to be saying to Li Yan: "Please, promise me." '

The matter came really suddenly, and he didn't think it through at all, but now that he's here, he certainly has no reason to refuse.

Li Yan nodded: "Okay..."

Hearing Li Yan's words, the stone in Chu Yu's heart fell to the ground.His fingers trembled slightly, and he put the ring on the middle finger of Li Yan's left hand.

He lowered his head and kissed Li Yan's hand, then rubbed it with the tip of his nose: "You are mine at last."

Although Li Yan really wanted to tell him that there would be marriage in the future, and he would be Chu Yu's after marriage, but he didn't say it, and it wasn't when he owed it.

Li Yan helped Chu Yu up, and then asked, "Have you stayed outside the door all day?"

Chu Yu scratched her head: "No, I just came after calling you..."

"Where have you been recently?"

"I... went to get you a ring..."

"what?"

Chu Yu smiled, he held Li Yan's hand, and stroked the ring on Li Yan's finger with his thumb over and over again: "I designed this together with them, although I didn't help much, but I My heart is here." He raised his head and looked at Li Yan: "Do you like it?"

Li Yan nodded: "I like it."

Chu Yu smiled and hooked the back of Li Yan's head, and the two slowly moved closer.When lips were pressed against each other, an untimely sound came between the two of them.

'Goo~'

Chu Yu paused, and Li Yan also opened his eyes. The two looked at each other awkwardly for a while, and then Li Yan suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha..." He covered his stomach and bent down laughing, then stretched out his hand to poke Chu Yu's stomach: "You are hungry..."

Chu Yu looked a little embarrassed, he looked at Li Yan helplessly: "I waited outside the door for a long time, I was afraid that you would come out when I went out to eat..."

Li Yan gradually stopped smiling, he put his arms around Chu Yu's neck, and kissed him actively: "Thank you..."

Since Chu Yu was really hungry, the two went downstairs to find a roadside stall and ate.

Two tall and burly men sat on a small bench and ate hot shabu kebabs. They wiped their snot from the hot air from time to time, and then continued to eat.

This scene attracted many people to slow down and look at them.

But Li Yan and Chu Yu didn't care at all, and continued to eat the skewers in the small pot.

Li Yan, who was wearing casual clothes, was fine, but Chu Yu was dressed in a suit and exquisite attire, which seemed even more out of harmony in this kind of place.

The night in July is still very hot, coupled with the heat of shabu-shabu, it makes people sweat.

After swallowing a ball, Li Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, then raised his head and glanced at Chu Yu, unexpectedly, the other party was also looking at him.

Through the mist, Li Yan's face looked hazy, and because of the spicy dipping sauce, Li Yan's lips appeared to be more bright red, with a layer of shiny luster on them, which made Chu Yu stunned again.

It's funny to say, this kind of day should be more grand, but Chu Yu knew that Li Yan didn't like to make a big show, so she planned to take him out for dinner after proposing.Unexpectedly, Li Yan not only quickly agreed to Chu Yu, but now the two of them are still eating the one-yuan roadside stall here, which is a bit funny.

Things were moving so fast, it was exciting.

Meeting Chu Yu's gaze, Li Yan slowed down his chewing speed, swallowed the warm meatballs, and took two sips of the glass bottle of carbonated drink at hand.

"Hiccup~"

This sound was extremely unworthy of Li Yan, but Chu Yu felt that this moment was the happiest moment.

Yes, who doesn't yearn for this kind of ordinary life, don't need to go to some high-end restaurants, and show others the appearance of being a son of a family.The two simply found a roadside stall that they both liked to eat, drank a carbonated drink that was not very nutritious, and burped, all of which were too happy.

The happiest thing is that Li Yan can completely ignore his own image and be himself in front of Chu Yu to his heart's content.Of course, Chu Yu is the same.

Chu Yu put down the bamboo stick in his hand, smiled at Li Yan, and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you want ten more sticks?"

"Ten skewers?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Who do you look down on? Give me twenty skewers."

"Two more sodas."
