A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Hello sir, are you here to look at jewelry?"

As soon as Lu Yang entered the jewelry store, a saleswoman greeted him with a smile.

Lu Yang nodded.

The shop assistant's eyes lit up instantly: "Sir, is this a gift? We have a promotion for Qixi Festival today!"

"Is this a gift for your loved one?"

"……right."

The shop assistant immediately adopted a more enthusiastic expression and led him inside.

"This way, please. We have several styles of couple rings here that sell very well. Shall I introduce them to you?"

Lu Yang followed and glanced down at the counter.

A row of wedding rings, all with similar designs.

The salesperson began their introduction: "This is a new release this year, made of platinum, with a small diamond on it, it's very exquisite..."

Lu Yang glanced at it twice.

Too flashy.

Li Xixue wouldn't like this.

"Is there anything simpler?"

"Simple?"

The sales clerk thought for a moment, then took out a box from the other side. "Look at this one, it has no extra decorations, it's very understated."

Lu Yang glanced at it.

It's plain, but too plain.

It's no different from an iron ring.

The shop assistant smiled and asked, "Sir, is this for your engagement?"

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

got engaged?

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Right? It seems a bit early.

You might think it's not true, but both families have already started planning the wedding, and they've even come up with four names for the children.

"I guess so."

Even Lu Yang himself felt that his answer was a bit vague.

The shop assistant's eyes lit up immediately, and his professional enthusiasm instantly reached a new level.

"Then you should take a look over here."

The shop assistant led him a few steps inside to a separate display case.

Inside the glass case were several sparkling rings.

"These are some of our main collections this year, designed specifically for proposals and engagements."

Lu Yang glanced down.

The designs are indeed nicer than those elsewhere, but the price tags have also gone up considerably.

The salesperson took out one of the pieces: "This one is platinum set with small diamonds, which is very suitable for elegant girls."

Lu Yang glanced at it twice.

To be honest, he had absolutely no idea about these things.

Platinum and diamonds are all the same to him.

Suddenly, the shop assistant took out a small box from the back of the counter.

"Take a look at this one too."

At first glance, it's just a thin, silvery-white circle, without diamonds or patterns, completely clean.

But the salesperson turned it over and pointed to the inside of the ring.

"Words can be engraved on the inner wall, up to eight characters."

Lu Yang picked it up and looked at it.

The ring is very finely crafted.

"How much is this?"

"This one is platinum, and it costs 13,800 yuan."

Lu Yang nodded.

The price is neither expensive nor cheap.

He doesn't care about his current income.

"How long does it typically take to complete the engraving?"

"About half an hour."

Lu Yang glanced at the time.

You still have time.

"This one will do."

The shop assistant took out a small card: "Sir, what words would you like engraved?"

Lu Yang took the card and pen.

Then he sat there, pen in hand, lost in thought.

What should be engraved?

I love you?

That's so outdated.

Happy Qixi Festival?

It's also very unsophisticated.

Are you my possession?

I'd probably get kicked to death if I said that.

Lu Yang sat there, pen in hand, hesitant to put pen down.

The shop assistant stood beside him, watching his conflicted expression, suppressing a laugh and saying nothing.

finally.

Lu Yang wrote two words on the card.

Don't mind.

He paused for a moment after writing it.

Why did you write those two characters?

He didn't know why either.

It just popped into my head.

"Sir, just these two characters?"

"Um."

The shop assistant took the card and glanced at it.

"Don't mind?"

She pursed her lips, didn't ask any more questions, and turned to go to the back.

Lu Yang sat on the sofa in the waiting area and took out his phone.

There are several messages in my WeChat.

Xia Ning sent a series of messages.

[Boss, did you manage to buy it?]

[The boss?]

Boss, don't tell me you've given up again!

Boss!!!

Lu Yang replied with two words: "Bought it."

Xia Ning replied instantly: 【What style? Send a photo!】

Lu Yang ignored her.

Then Xia Ning posted another message: [Boss, how are you planning to give it to her next? Just give it to her directly or do something more special?]

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

He's really not good at things like rituals.

But he also knew that today's date couldn't be taken lightly.

He typed a few words, then deleted them, and finally replied: We'll see.

Xia Ning: […Boss, you're really a worry.]

Lu Yang put his phone away.

Half an hour later.

The shop assistant came out from behind, holding a small dark blue box.

"Sir, please take a look."

Lu Yang put the box into his pocket.

"Thanks."

You're welcome. Happy Qixi Festival!

Lu Yang came out of the jewelry store, took a few steps, and took out his phone, wanting to send a message to Li Xixue.

Open the chat dialog box.

Lu Yang stared at the screen for a few seconds.

He took a deep breath and just finished typing a line of text.

But suddenly, he also noticed the message "The other party is typing" appearing in the chat box.

"?"

Lu Yang paused for a moment, then waited for the other party to send the message.

However, the other party also seemed to be waiting for him.

Lu Yang waited a moment and, finding that the other party had not responded, simply clicked send on the text he had just edited.

I need to talk to you about something tonight.

I need to talk to you about something tonight.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the message he had posted.

I looked at the post she made again.

The sending times of the two messages.

The same.

What a coincidence...

He quickly replied: 【You go first.】

The other end replied almost instantly: 【You go first.】

Lu Yang's lips twitched slightly.

He typed another message: "Go ahead and say it."

Li Xixue: [You say.]

Lu Yang: [Ladies first.]

Li Xixue: [There's no such rule.]

Lu Yang: [How about rock-paper-scissors?]

Li Xixue: [Childish.]

Lu Yang: [Shall we talk when we meet?]

Li Xixue thought for a moment: "...Okay."

Lu Yang: [Then I'll come find you now.]

Li Xixue: [Okay.]

Before that, Lu Yang replied with another message: "By the way... there's something I want to tell you."

Li Xixue: [What?]

Lu Yang: [Happy Qixi Festival, my dear.]
