134: Marry you
Shi Xu saw Su Mianmian's expression, full of excitement but also a slight worry about his parents, and he couldn't help but smile.
He reached out and patted her head, saying with a smile, "They will naturally agree. For this matter, as long as you agree, it's fine."
Shi Xu spoke with such certainty, as if he had already discussed it with Mother Shi and the others.
Only after Su Mianmian asked did she realize that he had only told her about this and hadn't discussed it with anyone else yet.
She looked speechless and told him to discuss it with others first, then tell her.
Su Mianmian didn't want to cause conflict between him and his parents. Although she really wanted to have a wedding with him, it didn't matter if she didn't; incompleteness was also a kind of beauty.
Besides, weddings were too tiring, and she didn't want the hassle.
It just felt a bit unceremonious this way.
Su Mianmian was incredibly conflicted for a moment.
Shi Xu seemed to sense Su Mianmian's refusal; he reached out and pulled her into his arms, gazing gently at the gradually rising sunset in front of them, feeling utterly content.
"Mianmian, look at that sunset in front of us, isn't it beautiful?"
"We've witnessed sunsets together, experienced the dangers of gunfire, and entrusted each other with our secrets."
"We are no longer just husband and wife; we should have ascended to the stage of truly sharing joys and sorrows."
"Our revolutionary friendship was forged through danger and is indestructible."
"But I still want to marry you once. This time, we both willingly walk towards each other."
It was rare for Shi Xu to say so many sentimental words. When Su Mianmian finished listening, she felt a lot of emotion.
He was very good, and he was good to her, so she was two hundred percent willing to marry him.
"Since we're getting married and starting anew, shouldn't you propose again too!"
Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu excitedly, sighing that her brain was truly amazing to have suddenly thought of this point.
If Shi Xu proposed to her again, wouldn't that make it perfect?
Thinking of this, Su Mianmian was exceptionally happy.
Shi Xu was originally conflicted, wondering if his lack of proposal skills would make Su Mianmian's experience less than ideal, but seeing her amusing expression, he dared not hesitate any longer.
Since it was what Su Mianmian hoped for, he would definitely prepare well.
He would certainly give her a unique proposal ceremony then.
"Mianmian, don't worry, I will definitely not neglect these customs."
"I am very sincere in marrying you," Shi Xu said gently, looking at Su Mianmian with a doting expression.
Su Mianmian felt like she had drunk fake alcohol; why did she feel a little tipsy when she heard what Shi Xu said?
Ever since Su Mianmian discussed these things with Shi Xu, no ripples had appeared.
Sometimes she wondered if those things were real or fake.
Why hadn't Shi Xu made any preparations at all?
Su Mianmian rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought, when a woman approached her.
Su Mianmian subconsciously looked up and realized she actually knew this woman.
She liked Yan Zhifeng and had been chasing him recently.
Su Mianmian watched their actions, finding it quite amusing.
"Sister Su, I just made a new dress; it's very beautiful, and I think it suits you perfectly."
"Wear it today and come take photos with me!"
Xin Yu looked at Su Mianmian eagerly, her tone full of pleading.
Su Mianmian thought that Xin Yu must have been driven crazy by chasing Yan Zhifeng, so she wanted to distract herself.
She was probably too idle, which was why Xin Yu came to her.
She shook her head, looking helpless.
Oh well, she didn't have anything to do anyway, and seeing Xin Yu's pitiful eyes, she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
Su Mianmian nodded, agreeing.
As soon as Xin Yu heard her agree, she immediately jumped up happily, beaming.
Su Mianmian looked at her helplessly, not understanding why she was so excited.
Su Mianmian felt she had agreed a bit too quickly. She had originally thought it would just be simple dressing up and taking photos, but she didn't expect Xin Yu's photography to be a complete set.
Outfits, accessories, shoes, makeup, hairstyle... Xin Yu managed everything.
Su Mianmian was messed with by Xin Yu, looking utterly resigned.
Seeing her skillful every step, Su Mianmian asked curiously, "Xin Yu, what did you do before? How do you know all this?"
Xin Yu put down the things in her hand, lowered her head, and said with a smile, "Sister used to love traveling all over the country. I know everything; there's nothing I don't know."
Su Mianmian smiled after hearing her; her explanation was as good as no explanation at all.
However, Su Mianmian didn't say anything more; she just zoned out for a moment.
When Xin Yu told her to look in the mirror, Su Mianmian looked up and saw the woman in the mirror, like a celestial fairy.
Was that really her face?
"Xin Yu, is this really me?"
"Why do I feel it doesn't quite match my temperament?"
The person in the mirror was too ethereal. In reality, she just dressed casually, caring more about convenience than appearance.
Now, after being suddenly made up by Xin Yu, Su Mianmian truly couldn't believe it.
Xin Yu smiled triumphantly at her, saying proudly, "Of course! I'm very good, and besides, you're so beautiful; I just added a few details."
She looked at Su Mianmian enviously. To be honest, she was very envious of Su Mianmian; she was truly beautiful.
After finishing the makeup, Su Mianmian was pulled by Xin Yu to try on clothes.
When Su Mianmian saw the dress she was to try on, she couldn't help but show an amazed expression.
The dress was white, with gemsmosaic in the skirt, sparkling and exceptionally eye-catching.
The neckline at the chest wasn't too large, suitable for someone shy like her.
The skirt was a bit floor-length, feeling like something worn to an evening gala.
After seeing it, Su Mianmian turned her head to Xin Yu, "Should I try it on now?"
Xin Yu gave her a 'what else?' look. Together, they worked to put it on, and after about twenty minutes, Su Mianmian finally had the dress on.
"This feels like it was tailor-made for me."
"If I were a little fatter or a little thinner, I wouldn't be able to wear it."
Su Mianmian said curiously.
Xin Yu showed a subtle smile. Wasn't Su Mianmian quite clever before? Why was she so naive now?
If she hadn't sworn not to tell her anything, she would definitely tell Su Mianmian the truth.
"Mianmian, stand up. Let me see if you're ready."
"You'll be my model in a bit, so there can't be any mishaps."
Xin Yu scrutinized Su Mianmian up, down, left, and right a few times, then nodded.
