ATBLM [QT] Chapter 118.5

Just after turning around a coconut forest, many star-like fireworks suddenly flashed in the dark night sky. A string of flames quickly spread on the beach, and soon, a big heart shape was drawn. There was a familiar figure standing stiffly in the center of the heart, and two people on the side were cheering without hesitation.

Jiang Rui stopped.

The two people looked at each other in the swaying dim light. Finally, Yan Zhao could not hold on anymore, coughed uncomfortably, and walked toward her.

Although the light was not bright, Jiang Rui could see that his face and neck were completely red. The hands on his sides were clenching and unclenching, clenching and unclenching.

She walked toward him too, stepping into the heart-shaped circle of candles before he stepped out, and the two of them were surrounded.

Yan Zhao looked at her with bright eyes and opened his mouth to speak.

“Kiss her! Kiss her!” Lin Hang and Wang Xiaodong suddenly began to shout.

Yan Zhao choked, turned his head, and glared at them fiercely. The two of them received his sight in the dark and shut their mouths obediently.

He turned his head back, cleared his throat, and said, “I—”

“Hug her up! Hug her up!” The two people who feared that the world would not be in chaos started making noises again.

Yan Zhao’s brows twitched. He could see that these two people were deliberately trying not to make things easier for him. He took a deep breath and whispered to Jiang Rui, “Wait a moment.”

He suddenly turned around and ran out like a tiger.

“Wow, Brother Zhao is angry—” The two people hurriedly turned around and ran.

Yan Zhao was holding his breath now. How could he let them run away easily? He caught them one by one and beat them several times, and there were bursts of ghost cries and howls on the beach.

After the lesson was over, he ran back again and arrived in front of Jiang Rui. The domineering momentum he had just hit was gone, his face began to turn red again, and his whole body became irritable. He hummed for a long time before asking dryly: “Have you had dinner?”

Jiang Rui waited for a long time, and he just said such a sentence. She could not help but laugh and said: “You went through all this trouble just to tell me this?”

“And…” He said several times in a row, but Jiang Rui did not rush him and just waited aside.

Yan Zhao finally gathered enough emotions. He looked up at her and then looked away. He tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, but he stumbled a little when he said, “I, I want to marry you, do you agree?”

Jiang Rui raised her eyebrows slightly, “Both of us are not old enough to get married yet.”

“We can get engaged first!” Yan Zhao said hurriedly, unconsciously holding her hand.

Seeing him like this, she could not help but tease him and asked with a smile: “If I don’t agree, are you going to cry?”

“No way!” Yan Zhao pursed the corners of his mouth and held her hand with both hands as if he was afraid she would run away. “If you don’t agree… I will ask you once a day until you agree!”

It’s really promising. Jiang Rui thought to herself and nodded with a smile.

Yan Zhao’s whole face lit up, and he looked at her helplessly, forgetting what to do next.

“Then… that’s it?” Jiang Rui asked.

He just came back to his senses. He held her shoulders with both hands, slowly moved his face closer, and murmured: “And this…”

He has become very skilled at kissing. He is not as flustered as before.

This was another sweet kiss, but the taste was different from the one they had tasted before. Jiang Rui raised her head and was distracted by what the smell was like. When she heard the person in front of her groan, he let go of her, covered his cheek with one hand, and frowned.

“What happened?”

Yan Zhao frowned as if he was in disbelief and a little aggrieved and said with a bit of pity: “Toothache…”

Jiang Rui: “…”

This is probably a true portrayal of extreme joy leading to sorrow.

***

After the chaotic proposal, when they returned to Fengcheng, the two families sat together and they got engaged.

At the time of the engagement, both of them were just adults. Even their parents were not sure that they would last long.

But in this life, people around them come and go and go through joys and sorrows, but they have never been separated, and they have gone through life hand in hand.

Translator’s Comment:

Proposal!!!

I think this is the first proper proposal so far, haha~~

The other five peoples did not know what romance is!!! They are lost compared to the young ones ٩(●ö●)۶

This arc is finished. The next arc is also very sweet.

 

Okay, the vote is open! Who ML do you like the most so far? Let me remind you.

Arc 1: 80’s Soldier – Zhao Nan

Arc 2: Abstinence Actor – Shen Yuchuan

Arc 3: Overlord Uncle – Lou Wenyuan

Arc 4: Treacherous Governor – Lu Xingzhou

Arc 5: The Marshal of The Republic of China – Huo Changyao

Arc 6: Cool School Bully – Yan Zhao

Hmm… It’s really hard. I like all of them. But, if I should choose, the most ML I liked is Lu Xingzhou. Maybe because of the big difference in their identity, I think this ML is more difficult to attack. He struggled to accept his feelings because of his identity as eunuch and Jiang Rui as Emperor Dowager. His fear of not being able to give what he should give as a man shows his love and care for our MC. Although at first he did not accept his feelings and avoided our MC, in the end, he still faithfully and humbly served Jiang Rui.

Who do you choose, guys? Let me know by leaving the comment ٩(＾◡＾)۶
