Chapter 1545: Announced to the World that I Love You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yi’s movements stopped in midair. Many people had confessed to Lin Yi both openly and in private.
However, Ji Qingyan was undoubtedly the most sincere one.
When a woman became emotional, she also became touching.
“I love you too.”
Ding!
Lin Yi raised his gla.s.s and clinked it with Ji Qingyan’s.
To protect her innocence and encourage her growth.
This is something worth fighting for throughout the rest of his life.
Lin Yi downed the red wine in his gla.s.s in one gulp, and so did Ji Qingyan.
The candlelight shone on their faces, lengthening their shadows and burning the atmosphere of the meal in their memories.
From their first meeting to the not-so-distant future.
Every little detail and plan about the future has been meticulously laid out by Ji Qingyan.
It was exactly these seemingly insignificant details that made the image of happiness in her heart.
They were small yet beautiful.
Zhonghai, 9:30 AM.
The office building in the government compound had only one light still on.
Looking at the mountain of doc.u.ments and reports on the table, Liang Ruoxu was in a daze.
There was still half a cup of coffee left on the table, but it was already cold.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just as Liang Ruoxu was in a daze, someone knocked on the office door.
Suddenly, Liang Ruoxu’s heart beat faster. She tidied up his clothes and pretended to be serious.
“Come in.”
“Secretary Liang.”
The office door was pushed open and the person who entered was the old man from the mailroom.
Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Liang Ruoxu said calmly,
“Can I help you?”
“Secretary Liang, it’s already past nine. Don’t work so hard. Your health is more important.”
“I’m almost done.”
“Sigh, it’s Christmas today. Give yourself a day off too. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Liang Ruoxu smiled gently. The old man knew that it was Christmas today.
“Alright, let’s leave the work for now and talk about it tomorrow.”
Liang Ruoxu stood up, packed up the doc.u.ments on her desk, picked up her coat and handbag from the hangar, then left the office.
It was a little cold in December. She wrapped her clothes tightly around herself and walked to her car.
At Liang Ruoxu’s level, officials were a.s.signed drivers.
However, today was a special day. Liang Ruoxu asked the driver to go back first.
In modern society, no matter how old one was, they could not ignore Christmas.
This time had to be spent by the side of the people they loved.
Liang Ruoxu started driving. Originally, at the main intersection, she should have turned right to go home, but in the end, she chose to drive straight.
She drove all the way to the Bund.
It was already ten o’clock at night.
After parking the car, Liang Ruoxu wrapped her black coat tightly around herself and walked slowly down the busiest street in Zhonghai.
Liang Ruoxu’s steps were very slow compared to the surging river. She looked like a person who was going against the river’s current.
Even though it was already very late, the men and women on the streets came and went without stopping.
Young couples walked hand in hand through the pristine years of youth, station after station.
Middle-aged individuals held the tender hands of their children, exchanging silent glances filled with smiles.
There were also elderly people, with gray hair adorning their temples, strolling among the crowd.
Love in the world may seem ordinary, but walking hand in hand through the years allowed for a certain sense of happiness and contentment.
Liang Ruoxu leaned against the railing by the river. She felt that the scenery and people in front of her were in a separate world from herself.
When people were at their most lonely, they would always miss home.
It was the same for Liang Ruoxu.
Ring ring ring!
Just as she took out her phone, she realized that it was ringing.
Coincidentally, it was a call from her mother.
“Mom.”
“What the h.e.l.l are you two doing?”
“Huh?”
Liang Ruoxu was stunned by her words. “I didn’t do anything.”
“You’ll see for yourself later.”
Shen Shuyi hung up.
Soon, Liang Ruoxu received several TikTok videos on her phone.
Almost all of them were high-rise buildings in major cities. Lights made out a few big words on each of them.
“I love you”
The five-colored neon lights kept flashing, bright and dazzling.
Liang Ruoxu stood rooted to the ground with her phone in her hand.
She didn’t think it was a coincidence. Other than Lin Yi, no one else would do such a thing.
Looking at the videos on her phone, Liang Ruoxu gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, she no longer envied others.
“Look, someone is confessing!”
Hearing the exclamations of the people around him, Liang Ruoxu followed the gazes of the crowd.
She saw the same words appear on the building not far away.
“I love you”
“Oh my G.o.d, who is that person called LRX? Her boyfriend is so romantic. She’s too lucky.”
“If 1 met such a boy, I would definitely marry him without hesitation!”
“It’s not just the words on the building. It’s on the taxi too!”
Liang Ruoxu looked at the taxi on the street in shock.
The same words were indeed flashing on the car’s light box.
Moreover, every car had one!
“F*ck, it can’t be. The same thing is happening overseas!” Exclamations sounded again.
“My friend is studying in Meiguo. She just sent it to me!”
Quietly, Liang Ruoxu walked over as if nothing had happened.
He was surprised to find that her name was written all over the skysc.r.a.pers in Times Square in Newyo!
“It’s not just Meiguo. It’s also on Sunrise Land. It’s all over TikTok!”
Hearing the discussions around him, Liang Ruoxu did not know whether to laugh or cry. She quietly wiped her tears.
It was one thing to cause so much disturbance within the country, but she did not expect him to also do it overseas.
This was indeed Lin Yi’s style.
Tears silently welled up in Liang Ruoxu’s eyes as she looked at the lights in the city. A name had been engraved on each of them.
It was as if all the lights were rushing towards her.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu’s phone rang again. It was Shen Shuyi again.
“Did you see it?”
“Um…”
Liang Ruoxu’s face turned red. “I saw it, but it’s just an abbreviation. It’s not a big deal.”
“I know it’s not a big problem, but aren’t you two going overboard?” Shen Shuyi said.
“I took a look just now. It’s not just in Huaxia. It’s also happening overseas. You guys really know how to fool around.”
“Tsk, are you jealous?” Liang Ruoxu said proudly.
“I called my dad during the day. He said he is traveling to the Southwest. You’re home alone and no one sent you a gift, right?”
“Bullsh*t.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I remember now.” Liang Ruoxu said.
“My father told me yesterday that he bought you five catties of apples. That can keep you fed for a while.”
“P*ss off!”
Shen Shuyi hung up in exasperation.
Whoosh!
Liang Ruoxu took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. She did not want to stay here any longer.
Because it was meaningless.
Back in the car, Liang Ruoxu did not leave immediately. She could not bear to part with the lights that were temporarily hers.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Liang Ruoxu’s phone rang. It was a WeChat message.
It only contained a few words.
“I announced to the world that I love you..”
