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

There are several boats on the river.

The lights reflected on the water, shimmering and swaying.

Li Xixue sat down on the bench, and Lu Yang also sat down, with about a fist's distance between them.

Li Xixue pursed her lips.

"You go first."

She still kicked the ball back.

Lu Yang took a breath.

Ok.

He reached into his pocket and touched the small box.

He held the edge of the box with his fingers, but didn't take it out.

Li Xixue noticed his hand move slightly in his pocket.

"What's in your pocket?"

Lu Yang's hand stiffened for a moment.

"It's nothing."

"Then what are you doing with your hands in your pockets?"

"..."

Just then, a couple walked by.

The boy suddenly knelt down on one knee, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

The girl covered her mouth, her eyes red-rimmed.

Several passersby clapped and shouted, "Marry him! Marry him!"

Lu Yang and Li Xixue glanced over at the same time, then turned their heads back at the same time.

Both of their expressions were somewhat subtle.

"You won't want to..." Li Xixue asked.

"Won't."

Lu Yang answered quickly and withdrew his hand again.

Li Xixue breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yang scratched his head and added, "I'm not that kind of person."

There was silence for a few more seconds.

Then Li Xixue moved.

She opened her bag and took out the paper bag.

She handed the paper bag to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang looked at the paper bag that the other party handed him.

"What is this?"

Li Xixue did not answer.

Lu Yang took it, opened the paper bag, and took out the contents.

A scarf.

It's a combination of gray and black.

It feels a bit rough, and the stitching is not very even; some parts are tight, and some parts are loose.

Lu Yang held the scarf and looked at it for several seconds.

Then he also saw a note on it.

It says two words.

Don't mind.

Lu Yang stared at those two words, his expression changing.

No, isn't this the word I came up with myself?

Li Xixue sat beside him without looking at him.

Her gaze was fixed on the river, her fingers tapping lightly on her knees, and she looked somewhat nervous.

"Did you knit this?" Lu Yang asked.

"Um."

Lu Yang looked at the scarf again.

To be honest, if this scarf were displayed in a store, no one would buy it.

But the problem is...

This was woven by Li Xixue.

Li Xixue.

A woman who has signed contracts worth hundreds of millions, knitting stitch by stitch with two knitting needles.

Lu Yang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he put the scarf back into the paper bag.

Then, without hesitation, he reached into his pocket and took out the small, dark blue box.

Li Xixue's gaze fell on the box, and she became puzzled.

Lu Yang handed the box over.

"Open it and take a look."

Li Xixue took the box.

The box is very light.

She opened the lid.

A ring.

It's silvery white, a thin circle, without diamonds or patterns.

Very plain.

But the workmanship is very good.

Li Xixue picked up the ring and turned it over.

Two characters are engraved on the inner wall.

Don't mind.

Her hand stopped.

Then she looked down at the words on her note and then at the words on the inside of the ring.

The same.

Two words.

Li Xixue sat on the bench, her fingers holding the ring, without saying a word.

Lu Yang watched her from the side.

"What a coincidence," he said.

Li Xixue raised her head.

Her eyes were a little red.

But she didn't cry.

How did you know I wrote those two words?

"I have no idea."

"Then why did you also...?"

"have no idea."

Lu Yang paused for a moment, then said, "It just suddenly popped into my head while I was writing."

Li Xixue lowered her head and looked at the ring in her hand.

After a long while, she finally spoke.

The sound was very soft.

"Could you... help me put it on?"

She didn't know why she said that, but it just came out unconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang paused for a moment, then took the ring very seriously.

Li Xixue stretched out her left hand.

Her fingers are very slender.

Lu Yang held the ring, aimed it at her ring finger, and pushed it up slightly.

Just as the ring was about to go in.

its stuck.

It's stuck on my knuckle.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

"What size did you buy?" Li Xixue asked.

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

When they bought it, the salesperson asked about the size, but he didn't know Li Xixue's finger size, so he just gave her a size based on his feeling.

Looking back now, that feeling wasn't quite accurate.

"It's a little small."

Lu Yang said.

Li Xixue looked at the ring stuck on her finger and her mouth moved slightly.

She tried pushing it again.

It's still stuck.

And my fingers are a little sore from being squeezed.

"Don't push it."

Lu Yang released his grip.

The two looked down at the ring stuck halfway through its journey and remained silent for a few seconds.

To be honest, the atmosphere was pretty good just now.

It's now back to zero.

"How about we switch to another finger?"

Lu Yang said.

Which one should we choose?

"Middle finger?"

Li Xixue glanced at him.

Middle finger?

Are you sure?

Lu Yang realized what was happening.

Middle finger.

That gesture doesn't seem to have a good meaning.

"The index finger?"

Do you know what it means to wear a ring on your index finger?

"What do you mean?"

"single."

"..."

Lu Yang scratched his head.

He had absolutely no idea what it meant to wear a ring on which finger.

Li Xixue took the ring off her ring finger and put it on the ring finger of her right hand.

This time it's perfect.

Lu Yang looked at the ring on her right ring finger and felt that something was off.

"Shouldn't it be worn on the left wrist?"

"I can't put it on my left wrist."

"..."

Ok.

Li Xixue raised her hand and looked at it.

The silver ring gleamed slightly under the light.

The design is indeed very simple.

But it fit her wrist perfectly.

Lu Yang stared at it for a while, then said, "I'll take it and get it resized later, to make it for the left hand."

"No."

Why?

"The same goes for the right hand."

Lu Yang didn't say anything more.

The two people were sitting on a bench.

The wind on the river picked up a bit, and Li Xixue's hair was blown onto her face again.

She reached out to brush her hair away, but Lu Yang reached out first and tucked it behind her ear.

When his finger touched her ear, Li Xixue flinched.

"My hands are cold."

Lu Yang withdrew his hand.

Li Xixue looked down at the paper bag in her hand, and after a moment she spoke: "Don't bother picking out any more scarves, or I'll take them back."

Lu Yang smiled.

"Who made the choice?"

"You didn't say it looked good."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time Li Xixue had ever asked him to praise her.

"It looks good," Lu Yang said directly.

Li Xixue's lips curved slightly, though she didn't show it despite her pleasant mood.

Suddenly, she picked up the scarf from the paper bag, stood up, and walked up to Lu Yang.

"Lower your head."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

"what?"

"Lower your head."

Li Xixue repeated it.

Lu Yang didn't ask any more questions and lowered his head.

Li Xixue unfolded the scarf, wrapped it around his neck, crossed it in front, tucked one end in, and adjusted it a couple of times.

I wasn't very skilled at it, and after trying for a long time, the scarf ended up being longer at one end than the other.

She took a step back and looked around.

"nice."
