480: Golden Rose

Tap, tap, tap — — — —

Happy footsteps sounded in front of Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning subconsciously looked over.

“Mulan?”

When she saw Su Mulan, Zhang Ning was stunned for a long moment.

Su Mulan had her hands behind her back, a mischievous smile hanging on her lips.

At the same time, footsteps sounded from another direction as well.

Zhao Jianghan's small frame was carrying a large speaker.

And on the speaker, a song titled "Dawn" was playing.

The rhythmic melody soon swept through the entire street.

Su Mulan had already run quickly to Zhang Ning.

Before Zhang Ning could speak, Su Mulan giggled:

“Sister Zhang Ning!”

Seeing Su Mulan's happy appearance, Zhang Ning subconsciously wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

Nowadays, she didn't want to bring her bad emotions to others.

But then she realized that Su Mulan couldn't see her appearance at all.

“What's wrong, little sister Mulan?” Zhang Ning bent down and smiled, holding Su Mulan's shoulders.

Just then, Su Mulan suddenly brought her hands out from behind her back!

“Ta-da!”

Only then did Zhang Ning notice that what Su Mulan was holding was a golden rose.

In the center of that golden rose, wisps of flame were emerging.

“Sister Zhang Ning, let me perform a magic trick for you!”

“Crush it!”

Su Mulan's tone was full of anticipation.

Although Zhang Ning was a bit confused, seeing Su Mulan's happy expression, she still nodded with a smile.

“Okay.”

Zhang Ning took the golden rose and applied a little force with her hand.

Pop — — — —!

In an instant, the golden rose turned into powder!

The next second, Zhang Ning noticed that countless golden roses were slowly falling from the sky.

Pop — — — —! Pop — — — — — —! Pop — — — —!!

Each golden rose seemed to be crushed by an invisible hand in mid-air.

The moment they shattered, the roses turned into powder and fleeting flames.

Before long, the surrounding streets were covered in golden powder.

“So beautiful!”

“Oh my god, where did these roses come from? Did they appear out of thin air?”

The passersby who were originally walking were all attracted by this scene.

The music in the speaker Zhao Jianghan was holding gradually faded to a low point.

“Wait, no, there's something inside those roses!”

“What are those? Quickly, use your phone to zoom in and take a look!”

Passersby took out their phones one after another, using the zoom in camera mode, and finally saw clearly.

After each golden rose exploded, golden cards would fall out from within.

And on those cards were clearly warm and happy photos.

“Look, the girl in those photos... is that her?”

Sharp-eyed passersby soon noticed Zhang Ning, who was half-crouching in front of Su Mulan.

He pointed, and the other passersby also turned their gazes to Zhang Ning.

“Hey, really, it's her, it's her! Exactly the same!”

“Holy crap! I get it! This wouldn't be a marriage proposal scene, would it?!”

“Quick, take pictures, take pictures!”

Click — — — — Click — — — — — —

Everyone picked up their phones, capturing this beautiful, grand, and shocking scene.

Zhang Ning, crouching in front of Su Mulan, was already stunned by this scene.

The voices of the passersby made her notice the photos in the air.

Photo after photo, wrapped in the powder of golden roses, slowly fell downwards.

At the same time, the music in Zhao Jianghan's speaker was about to reach its climax.

“Sister Zhang Ning, look over there.”

Su Mulan pointed with a giggle behind Zhang Ning.

Just as Zhang Ning turned around, the music reached its climax.

And Zhang Ning, in that split second of turning back, was completely frozen on the spot.

A figure wearing a black combat suit and a golden skull mask on their face was holding a golden rose in their hand.

It was as if they had been waiting there for a long time.

This figure instantly overlapped with a certain figure in Zhang Ning's memory.

In an instant, tears could no longer be held back and gushed out.

Zhang Ning rushed forward and hugged that figure.

The figure silently patted Zhang Ning's back, without saying a word.

Letting Zhang Ning sob in his arms...

“I thought... I thought...”

“I was afraid I would never see you again...”

“Liu Yan told us to ask what we wanted to know... I didn't dare to ask, I didn't dare to open my mouth, I was so scared, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to accept the result...”

Zhang Ning poured out all her grievances at once.

“You didn't die... Why didn't you come to find me immediately... Do you know how agonizing every second of my life has been!”

Zhang Ning cried for a good while before withdrawing from the other person's embrace.

A black combat glove gently wiped the tears on her cheeks.

“Don't cry... Am I not standing here safe and sound...”

The voice from under the golden skull mask also carried a hint of choking.

If you listened carefully, you could tell he was trying hard to control his emotions at this moment.

Zhang Ning stopped sobbing, trembling as she reached out and touched that golden skull mask.

After slowly taking it off, it revealed a face behind the mask, also already streaming with tears.

The moment she saw Chen Yu, Zhang Ning couldn't help but burst into tears again.

The two hugged each other without saying a word.

The thousands of words in their hearts were self-evident in the silence of their reunion.

A moment later, Zhang Ning gradually calmed down. After completely withdrawing from Chen Yu's embrace, she noticed that the two of them had become the focus of the street.

Her face turned as red as an apple in an instant!

Then she thought of the golden roses from just now, and how Chen Yu even had to get two children to help with his entrance...

And that music!

All of this added up, it was so cringey, okay!

Zhang Ning turned around in some shame, wanting to avoid the direction with more crowds, while squeezing out a resentful voice:

“It's all your fault! This is so embarrassing!”

“Couldn't you have just gone straight home? Doing these things that only young people do...”

“And dragging children over to help!”

“How old are we now...”

The clicking sounds of photos being taken around her made Zhang Ning a bit incoherent for a moment.

Not hearing Chen Yu's answer immediately, Zhang Ning couldn't even care about the embarrassment, and hurriedly looked up in Chen Yu's direction.

Confirming that the other person was really there and she hadn't seen wrong, Zhang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

This scene of Zhang Ning being anxious and insecure naturally fell into Chen Yu's eyes.

He didn't rush to answer Zhang Ning's question, but instead looked at Zhang Ning with deep affection.

“For you, we were only separated for a short while...”

“But for me...”

Chen Yu didn't finish, but instead hugged Zhang Ning again.

Not far away, Su Mulan listened to the couple's conversation and actions, shaking her head with a tsk-tsk.

And Zhao Jianghan secretly glanced at Su Mulan twice, his footsteps subconsciously moving closer to her.

Then, Liu Yang's voice came from the roof.

“Little Zhao! No puppy love!”

The sudden voice startled Zhao Jianghan, stopping his movement, while he couldn't help but mutter:

“I give up, Brother Yan insisted on turning me back into a child...”

On the other side, after Chen Yu and the other hugged for a while longer, Zhang Ning seemed to suddenly remember something, hurriedly pushing Chen Yu away, her pupils starting to moisten.

“The child...”

Seeing Zhang Ning, who had finally calmed down, become upset again, Chen Yu hurriedly spoke:

“Don't worry, the child is still there.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ning slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then hurriedly pulled Chen Yu and walked in one direction.

“What's wrong?” Chen Yu asked while walking, following Zhang Ning's tug.

“Going to the hospital for a check-up, to see if it's a boy or a girl!”

“I really want a son!”

At this moment, both Zhang Ning's expression and tone were full of the taste of being soaked in happiness.

Even the air around her became much sweeter because of her.

But Chen Yu actually tugged at Zhang Ning.

“No need to check, it was originally a boy.”

Once these words came out, Zhang Ning's movements slowly stopped, and she turned her head in confusion, looking at Chen Yu, whose eyes were dodging.

“What do you mean 'originally a boy'?”

Chen Yu looked around stammering.

“I told Liu Yan, if there's a way, help me change it to a girl...”

“Ah — —! Gently, gently, my ear is going to fall off!!”

Chen Yu, wearing a handsome combat suit, was now being dragged to her side by Zhang Ning, who was pinching his ear tightly.

“What do you mean 'changed it to a girl'?!”

Chen Yu could even see fire in Zhang Ning's eyes.

“It hurts, it hurts, stop pinching! If you like boys, we'll just have another one, won't that be fine?”

After breaking free from Zhang Ning's hand, Chen Yu rubbed his ear repeatedly.

“I'm powerful now, I can have as many as I want.”

Once these words came out, Zhang Ning hurriedly rushed forward and covered Chen Yu's mouth, then looked around like a thief.

“There are so many people here, what are you shouting about!”

Confirming that no passersby noticed Chen Yu's recent remarks, Zhang Ning then uncertainly whispered:

“Really?”

Chen Yu nodded repeatedly with a smile.

“Of course, want to try?”

Zhang Ning glanced at Chen Yu a bit shyly, then held Chen Yu's hand and walked in the direction of home.

On the way, Zhang Ning suddenly asked:

“Have you thought of a name for our daughter?”

“Of course I have.”

“What is it?”

“Chen Nian.”
