The next day, Zhu Zhengchu got up very early. When he went out, his parents were still asleep. He didn't know why he got up so early. He just inexplicably wanted to go back and give the gift to Xiang Yutang.
At this time, Xiang Yutang should still be in bed. Zhu Zhengchu touched the gift box with his finger, looking forward to Xiang Yutang's expression when she saw the gift later. He wondered if this girl would like it. It would be great if there was a men's style. They could buy a couple's set and wear them. How nice that would be.
Unexpectedly, he didn't see Xiang Yutang when he got back to the dormitory. Zhu Zhengchu looked in several places but couldn't find her. He put the bag in his hand on the sofa.
It was really strange. Why didn't Xiang Yutang come back? Did she go to Zhuo Ziyu's dormitory to sleep last night? It couldn't be. This girl clearly took a photo for him last night and said she was in this room.
"Brother Zhu, you're back so early?" Xiao Lin happened to come in to clean the room. He usually cleaned Zhu Zhengchu's room to prevent others from seeing something they shouldn't.
Zhu Zhengchu asked, "Where's Yutang? Didn't she come back here to rest last night?"
Xiao Lin replied, "She did. Then she seemed to go to the training room at about 5:30 this morning. I happened to pass by and saw her."
Zhu Zhengchu was stunned for a moment. This girl went to the training room? It was unlikely. Usually, this girl would never get up if she could sleep for one more second.
"Maybe you can go there and take a look now?"
As Zhu Zhengchu walked, he told Xiao Lin, "Take out the gift box in my bag and put it away properly. I'm going to give it to her later."
"Sure! Don't worry."
After Zhu Zhengchu left, Xiao Lin opened Zhu Zhengchu's bag and saw the ring box inside.
"Damn, is Brother Zhu serious? They've only been dating for how long and he's already prepared a ring box. Brother Zhu really likes this little girl!" Xiao Lin was shocked. He repeatedly confirmed that it was a ring box.
He didn't notice the necklace box at the bottom of the bag.
Zhu Zhengchu arrived at the training room. Beautiful piano music was coming from inside. Zhu Zhengchu walked over and saw that it was really Xiang Yutang playing. There were already many trainees in other classrooms at this time, but it was a miracle that Xiang Yutang was here because she used to be the last one.
Zhu Zhengchu gave the photographer a look, and the photographer understood and cut off the camera.
Zhu Zhengchu closed the door, pulled the curtain, and then walked to Xiang Yutang.
"Why did you get up so early today?"
Xiang Yutang had just finished playing. She was so absorbed in playing that she didn't notice his arrival.
"Because I want to practice better so that I can give you a surprise when you come to watch!"
Zhu Zhengchu felt a pang in his heart. It was rare to see this girl so serious.
Xiang Yutang got into his arms. Zhu Zhengchu kissed her side face and said, "You don't have to work so hard. With your level, you can perform very well at a normal pace."
Xiang Yutang shook her head. "I'm going to strive for the best now! I want to play my boyfriend's song the best!"
Zhu Zhengchu smiled. "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet. The canteen wasn't open just now, and then I forgot the time while practicing. It's okay. I'm not hungry now. I'll go for lunch later. Let me play it one more time for you to listen to!" Xiang Yutang was eager to start showing off.
Zhu Zhengchu grabbed her. "By lunchtime, you'll be starving. I'll take you there to eat now. Let's go."
Xiang Yutang shook her head and reached out to hug him. "I don't want to eat. I want to hug you."
Zhu Zhengchu rubbed her little head. "Be good. I'll take you back to the dormitory to eat. I'll ask Xiao Lin to go out and buy some for you. I also brought you a gift back. Go back and see if you like it."
Xiang Yutang got excited. "What is it? Is it Ultraman merchandise?"
Zhu Zhengchu said helplessly, "No. You'll know when you go back with me."
Xiang Yutang originally wanted to practice for a while longer, but when she heard there was a surprise, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and happily followed Zhu Zhengchu back.
Along the way, she kept asking Zhu Zhengchu what it was. Zhu Zhengchu wanted to laugh when he saw her curious little look. But he was a little worried in his heart. Would this girl like the necklace? Although it was quite nice, it seemed that it couldn't make her as happy as Ultraman merchandise.
When they got to the dormitory, Xiao Lin had just finished cleaning. When he saw the two of them coming back, he gave them a mysterious smile.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Xiang Yutang was a little embarrassed. "Just call me by my name like before! Don't call me sister-in-law!"
Xiao Lin laughed. "You'll have to change the name sooner or later!" Brother Zhu has already prepared the ring. It seems he's serious.
"Stop being so talkative. Go and buy her a breakfast."
"Sure!" Xiao Lin left sensibly. Before leaving, he winked at Zhu Zhengchu.
Zhu Zhengchu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xiang Yutang trotted in happily. "Didn't you say there was a gift? Where is the gift? Where is it?"
Xiang Yutang's eyes searched everywhere. Then she was stunned for a moment when she saw the jewelry box on the table. "Is that the gift?"
Zhu Zhengchu was taking off his shoes and didn't look carefully. "Yes. See if you like it. If you do, I'll put it on for you."
Xiang Yutang slowly opened it and saw the ring inside. She covered her mouth in disbelief.
Zhu Zhengchu walked over. "How about it..." Oh my god, what on earth is going on! How could...
Xiang Yutang turned her head and looked at him with misty eyes. It was obvious that she was touched.
Zhu Zhengchu didn't know what to do all of a sudden. Could he tell her in this situation, "Don't misunderstand. This is for my parents. Yours is not this one." Just thinking about the extremely disappointed expression Xiang Yutang might show, Zhu Zhengchu felt a bit reluctant. But the misunderstanding was too big if she took this!
"Tangtang... actually..." Zhu Zhengchu really didn't know what to say. He mentally sliced and diced Xiao Lin thousands of times. What on earth did this idiot take!
Zhu Zhengchu took a deep breath and decided to explain it clearly. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to handle this.
"Tangtang, I..."
It was over. Xiang Yutang's tears were falling.
Xiang Yutang said softly, "I never thought you would really give me a ring."
Zhu Zhengchu was so entangled for the first time in his life. What should he do now!
"You'll be with me forever, right?" Xiang Yutang looked at him with teary eyes.
Zhu Zhengchu was silent for a moment. Finally, he couldn't resist her tears and nodded. "Yes." There was no other way. Since this was the case, he could only just go with it. Anyway, it was just a ring and there was no proposal ceremony. He could buy a gift for his parents later... Sigh... What a mess!
