Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 611 - 612: Proposal

"I’d only believe that if hell froze over," Di Xiaxia responded, "Anyway, enough about him. You joining us at the Third Brother’s club tonight?"

Nangong Jin: "What time?"

Di Xiaxia: "My sister-in-law said 7 PM."

Nangong Jin: "We’ll see. I have something on at 7, so I might arrive a little late."

Di Xiaxia: "Okay."

After mining with her for a while, Nangong Jin logged off, suggesting that he had some serious business to attend to.

Instead of trying to keep him, Di Xiaxia simply bid him goodbye and left him to it.

Once Nangong Jin left, she kept on mining by herself. After what felt like ages, she had a bowl of silver ear mushroom soup in the afternoon. It was time to lose some weight.

After mining for a bit more, she decided it was time to freshen up and get ready.

Instead of logging out, she just let her game stay idle.

Her character, a stunning beauty with white clothes and black hair, stood there alone, evoking pity from anyone who saw her.

After a while, her character sat down automatically, calmly entering idle mode.

Once Di Xiaxia finished getting ready, she checked the time—half an hour to go.

She went to sit by her computer desk to clear out and sell the items from her bag before logging off.

However, she found herself looking at another character sitting quietly next to her in a dashing posture.

It was none other than her apprentice.

Di Xiaxia was startled, thinking that he had something to tell her. However, when she opened the private chat box, she found that no messages had been sent to her from him.

She blinked and typed a few words, "What are you sitting here for?"

Her apprentice remained silent.

Deducing that he was likely also idle, most likely away from the computer, she decided to ignore him and prepare to sell her stuff in the marketplace.

But just as she was about to leave, two words appeared above his head, "With you."

This left Di Xiaxia feeling baffled.

Before she could bounce back, a sudden burst of dazzling fireworks filled the screen—red, yellow, blue, green, all vibrant and striking. Afterward, the fireworks transformed into tiny, beating red hearts. Quite breathtaking.

Being a seasoned gamer, she recognized them for what they were.

They were items used for a proposal in the game.

The one who had sent the items was her apprentice and she was the recipient.

The fireworks display was spectacular, hence very expensive.

Yet her apprentice sent not one, but eleven—all screen filled with a mesmerizing fireworks show.

Eleven fireworks represented uniqueness; usually, even sending one is considered a grand gesture.

The cost of eleven fireworks could be close to RMB 50,000. In the game, proposals have been made with eleven fireworks, but they’re very rare.

When eleven fireworks go off, players from every corner of the server can see the fireworks on their screen, no matter where they are. The screen would continue flashing for 1 minute and 1 second.

Di Xiaxia was dumbstruck. It took a while for her to recover her senses.

Then, the global screen starts flashing the message: player Wushuang is proposing to player Xiaxia, promising ’you are the only one for me in this lifetime.’

The message kept appearing and bouncing around for 1 minute and 1 second before it stopped.

After the fireworks ended, the screen was quiet. But the worldwide channel was in an uproar.

"Holy crap, this guy’s loaded!"

"Why not Mr. Z? Who the hell is Wushuang?"

"Xiaxia, awesome! Xiaxia, formidable!"

Di Xiaxia could not care less about the noisy reactions from the other players. She was too stunned, staring blankly at the screen.

On the screen, a man in a black robe, kneeling on one knee as if bestowing her his fealty. His black hair was tied high up, radiating unmatched defiance, yet his head was slightly bowed. The character, a product of top-tier craftsmanship, was incredibly handsome, truly a sight for sore eyes.
