I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 456: The Strongest Proposal in History 2

She placed the item in her hands onto the table and picked up the envelope.

A sky blue color, sealed with a pink heart sticker, inscribed with "For Ning Xixi’s Eyes Only."

Ning Xixi recognized at a glance that this forceful, dragon-and-phoenix dance-like handwriting belonged to Ji Yebai.

She muttered, "What era are we in, still writing letters..."

Her pale hands tore open the envelope, revealing a pink letter inside.

The content is as follows—

To the world’s silliest Ning Piggy:

You said, anything that can’t be spoken can be written down to tell you.

Ahem, this young master will reluctantly, tell you a few things.

1. You are really dumb! In kindergarten, when others bullied you, you just dragged along tears and snot, not even able to tattle, always needing this young master to stand up for you. Grown up, you still make people worry! Can’t you become a bit smarter?

2. You really can eat! From childhood to adulthood, you’ve stolen so much of this young master’s meat! So many fruits! When I was little, I didn’t have much pocket money, and you ate it all up! Do you know what motivates me to earn money now? Hmm, congratulations, you guessed it, to keep you from bankrupting me! Humph, Piggy Xixi!

3. You are really lazy! So lazy that you can’t even be bothered to press the alarm clock, so lazy you don’t want to pick up take-outs, so lazy that you feign sickness to avoid running 800 meters. Laziness is a disease, you are so gone, no cure!

...

Reading up to this, Ning Xixi was thoroughly irritated, indeed, was this some kind of April Fool’s prank?

So annoying! Listing so many of her flaws...

Bearing with it, Ning Xixi continued to read, but then she was stunned.

—

Although you’re silly, eat a lot, and are lazy, this young master’s taste is not so great, hmm, it’s because of my poor taste! That I fell for you early!

Perhaps it started when you sweetly called me "Brother Dabai", or when you held my hand to cross the street, or when you cried saying you’d give me your eyes, or when you walked towards me amidst the falling Sakura, or when beneath the stars, you gave me only your back to see...

So many beginnings, without any signs, untraceable.

Each beginning was uncanny, the normal human heart rate is 75 beats per minute, but your appearance, made my heart exceed this rate again and again.

Hey, what do you call this kind of heart-throbbing?

...

Having read the entire letter, Ning Xixi was dumbfounded.

Her eyes, brimming with tears, and her eyelashes trembling.

Ji Yebai... had he liked her for so long?

This letter... was it his confession?

Suddenly, the sound of a violin and piano duet, playing her favorite "Für Elise," filled the restaurant.

The sky outside the window had darkened, and in an instant, all the lights in the restaurant turned on, bright as day.

She clearly saw the violinists and pianists playing in the corner, and—that tall figure walking towards her.

Dressed in a tailored, black handmade suit, shiny leather shoes, deep dark eyes, a face exuding an arrogant charm, he stopped right in front of her.

Outside—

Above Mulan River, under the starry sky, countless dazzling fireworks, at that moment, soared into the sky.

Bursting forth vibrantly!

The whole world, in an instant, illuminated!

"Ji, Ji Yebai..." Ning Xixi softly called his name, still a bit confused, was this prank meant to be this grand?

Ji Yebai arrogantly lifted his chin, his tone cocky, "Ning Xixi, marry me!"
