Chapter 159
As the video finished playing, the screen showed only one line: Let's get married!
Yu Shu held his hand and walked into the flower field, her hand trembling and sweaty.
Deep in the flower field, Dou'e, wearing a floral collar, wagged her tail and had been waiting with their rings in her mouth.
Yu Shu took the small ring box from Dou'e's mouth and opened it, revealing a pair of diamond rings.
Yu Shu's voice shook with nervousness as she spoke: "Let's get married. It's not about who marries whom, but from now on, for the rest of our lives, we belong to each other."
Shen Youlin arrogantly raised his chin, "To propose, you must kneel before me!"
Stay calm, stay calm. This is the only time in her life that Yu Shu will kneel before him. She can see through his little scheme.
With an indulgent smile, Yu Shu knelt on one knee, holding up the ring, "Your Highness, the noble prince, will you marry me?"
"I will," Shen Youlin answered with restraint, then held out his hand with equal restraint, "Put it on me, my subject."
Yu Shu smiled even more indulgently as she slipped the men's ring onto his finger. Shen Youlin could no longer hold back his silly grin, his mouth stretched wide, struggling to suppress the giggles that threatened to burst out.
At this moment, he absolutely could not ruin the atmosphere!
Shen Youlin helped Yu Shu up and solemnly placed the women's ring on her finger. Both hands, the one holding the ring and the one receiving it, trembled, and it took him two attempts to finally get it on.
Yu Shu: "Don't shake!"
"I... I'm about to faint from happiness, and you're telling me not to shake?!"
Yu Shu burst into laughter at his words. While steadying her own hand with the other, she grabbed his wrist and finally managed to slide the ring onto her finger.
Shen Youlin licked his lips, "Next, I'm going to kiss my new bride."
Countless balloons floated up from the ground, enveloping the kissing couple.
That night, after showering, Shen Youlin sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating fruit while browsing through the hot searches on various platforms and watching videos of the proposal scene filmed from different angles by the spectators. He laughed heartily as he watched, even liking comments with his main account.
Yu Shu came out of the bathroom after her shower, drying her hair, and pinched his cheeks, "Happy?"
"Happy, I'm overjoyed! With such a grand affair today, now the whole nation knows how madly in love with me you are!" He chuckled again, "No way, these hot searches will stay up for at least a week. I'll have Random Person A buy the hot searches for the next few days too."
"You're too much!" Yu Shu laughed and ruffled his hair, "Your hair is still wet."
She then covered his head with the towel and started drying his hair.
Shen Youlin bubbled over with happiness, swaying left and right restlessly.
Yu Shu didn't mind and followed his swaying head to dry his hair.
"Yu Shu."
"Yeah?"
"I'm so happy."
"You will always be happy, and so will I."
The next morning, Yu Shu found Shen Youlin in the small study, and witnessed the most unbelievable sight of her life - he was actually on a video call with Yu Fanxing, and the two were chatting animatedly amidst bursts of laughter.
Shen Youlin bragged shamelessly, still in an excited state, "I want to have a global wedding! Have one in every country, following their local customs and traditions."
"Supported, supported. You can pick any of my jewelry. Oh, and last night I discussed with your father, we're going to buy you an island as a wedding gift, and you can have a grand celebration there."
"We need to have a Chinese-style ceremony, with the phoenix crown and robes! Can they make the phoenix crown these days? It has to be elaborate, made of real gold and gems. We need non-heritage inheritors and master craftsmen to make it. After the wedding, the outfits can go straight into a museum, that kind of thing!"
Yu Fanxing laughed until her mouth wouldn't close, "Oh my, go for it, go for it! With so many weddings you'll have to hold, you might as well set up a wedding museum, display all your wedding items and photos, play the videos on a loop, and make all future visitors green with envy!"
After listening for a while, Yu Shu walked away, covering her face - this mother and son had gone insane, there was no saving them.
After all these years of bickering, they finally made up because of the wedding. At this point, she decided not to interfere with their artistic visions.
Yu Shu's phone kept ringing as well, with video calls from Ye Ping and Yu Feng, both of whom were laughing uncontrollably. They first congratulated Yu Shu and Shen Youlin on finally settling down, then eagerly walked to the window to show her the hotel room they were staying in, with a view of the Potala Palace and distant snow-capped mountains.
Over the past few months, they had ridden camels in the deserts of Dunhuang, photographed swans at Seli Lake, and watched the sunrise at Meri Snow Mountain...
They had learned to shoot and edit travel videos, sharing their experiences online and becoming minor celebrity travel bloggers.
Only by seeing the vast world can one realize how tiny one is in it; only by witnessing towering mountains and vast oceans can one appreciate how insignificant life's petty grievances are.
One's perspective determines one's mindset and open-mindedness. Ye Ping and Yu Feng no longer bickered endlessly over trivial matters in life, but faced setbacks and differing opinions with optimism and positivity.
Now, whenever Yu Feng accidentally drove into a roadside ditch, Ye Ping wouldn't rage and scold him. Instead, she would whip out her phone to film his expression, mock him thoroughly, then approach nearby farmers to borrow some stools, bask in the sun, and chat leisurely while waiting for rescue. When Yu Feng accidentally left his wallet at a hotel, she would laugh and tease him for being forgetful, but graciously write a thank-you note to the hotel staff who found it...
Yu Feng had also grown, no longer avoiding Ye Ping's emotions but learning to attend to her daily needs. He would tear up with concern when she got sunburned, accompany her to the hospital, carefully note the doctor's instructions, prepare sunscreen for her before trips, let her drink first when water was scarce, and hold her hand tightly when driving at night...
This journey had given them a new lease on life, a sense of happiness they had never experienced before. Every day, they encountered fresh experiences and witnessed different customs of various regions and ethnicities. Every day, they learned something new - how to choose hotels, how to check in for flights, how to calmly handle rudeness and disdain...
During these few months, they also learned English from the Davis couple. Although their accents were heavy, they could now communicate without issue in daily situations. Excitedly, they were planning to travel abroad next year.
Although the journey was not always smooth sailing, every night they fell asleep with anticipation for tomorrow and the future.
Ye Ping and Yu Feng rambled on to Yu Shu for a long while before remembering to mention her own matter, their mouths dry from all the talking.
"Let us know the wedding date in advance so we can plan our schedule."
Yu Shu pretended to be upset, "You're not coming back to attend your own daughter's wedding? Am I still your daughter?"
"Last night, your mother-in-law discussed it with us. She'll help with the wedding arrangements. Plus, there's a wedding planning company involved. Wealthy families have high standards for weddings, so we can't really help much. We'll just cooperate with the organizers' instructions."
Yu Feng chimed in, "Actually, it's just that your mom is too lazy to bother with the hassle."
Yu Feng was then promptly scolded and cried out in pain.
Yu Shu couldn't help but laugh, equally influenced by her parents' relaxed and optimistic attitudes.
Yu Yang's phone call also came in. He was in the southern hemisphere, representing his school at an international competition. Yu Shu didn't quite understand, but it seemed like a very prestigious event, and Yu Yang was only a freshman. According to him, he was the first freshman to represent the school in this competition.
Yu Shu felt something was off, so she looked up the competition and Yu Yang's university online. She then realized this was the first time the school had participated in this competition, and she couldn't help but laugh, though she didn't call him out on it.
Yu Yang was holding the freshly-minted silver medal, constantly boasting to her: "Sis! Look at this! A silver medal! We've created school history! And there's prize money too! Each of us can get over fifty thousand. I'm going to start saving for your wedding red packet right now!"
Yu Shu praised him with a smile: "Awesome! When you come back to the country, I'll reward you with a car."
Yu Shu figured that having a car would be convenient for Yu Yang, but she couldn't spoil him too much. She would buy an affordable one, any car under three million would do.
Yu Yang's face immediately turned red, a bit embarrassed: "Well, that's quite a high return rate for me then, heh heh heh heh heh heh..."
