Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He was thinking about how to tell her his feelings later… Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi. The lantern lights around him reflected in his eyes like two small flames. “I’ll tell you later.”

Chu Qingzhi retracted her gaze and continued to watch the dance on the river. She muttered, “Why are you being so mysterious?”

Tang Jinghong chuckled and did not say anything else.

As the boat moved toward the center of the river, it stopped. The people on the deck stopped dancing and walked into the cabin, but the music continued.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot up from the ground and exploded in the sky, forming a huge flame flower that dyed the originally dark night sky gorgeous.

Chu Qingzhi was a little surprised. There were actually fireworks.

At this moment, she felt someone grabbing her waist from behind. Then, she was brought by Tang Jinghong and flew to the lamp boat in the middle of the river.

At this moment, almost everyone was watching the lantern boat performance on both sides of the river.

Chu Xuyuan pointed at the two people flying in the air and was shocked. “Are they Fifth Sister and Brother Jinghong?”

Chu Xuyao placed his hands on the railing and looked up at the sky. “It’s them. What are they doing?”

Li Qingyu and the other three looked at the two of them with bright eyes. Previously, Tang Jinghong had secretly told them that he wanted to marry Qingzhi, and they had all agreed. However, they wouldn’t make the decision for Chu Qingzhi.

The two of them landed on the second deck. Tang Jinghong turned around and faced Chu Qingzhi, his eyes filled with affection. “Qingzhi, there’s something I want to tell you.”

Is he planning to tell me his feelings? Chu Qingzhi thought to herself. She looked up, her clear eyes reflecting Tang Jinghong’s well-defined face. She cleared her throat and said softly, “Tell me.”

She was nervous, but it was understandable because it was the first time someone was going to confess his feelings to her in hundreds of years.

Tang Jinghong slowly clenched his fists. He was also nervous. After thinking for a while, he spoke in a low voice.

“Qingzhi, I don’t know when my feelings for you changed. Now, I want to see you all the time. I want to know if you’re happy and if you need help. I’m always very, very worried about you.”

“I don’t know any sweet-nothings, and I have many flaws, but I’m willing to change for you.”

He pursed his lips. “Qingzhi, I like you. I want to be with you and marry you.

Are you willing?”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong without blinking, her heart pounding.

Tang Jinghong’s heart was in his throat because of Chu Qingzhi’s pause. “Qingzhi…”

Chu Qingzhi took a step forward and hugged Tang Jinghong gently. She smiled. “I’m willing. Jinghong, I’m willing to be with you.”

Tang Jinghong was overjoyed. He wrapped his arms around Chu Qingzhi as if he was hugging an incomparably precious treasure. “Qingzhi, I’ll love and protect you. I won’t let you down and let you suffer.”

Accompanied by his words, the fireworks that shot into the sky bloomed continuously like flowers. They were of various colors and shapes. It was extremely magnificent.

“Wow, wow, wow, they are together…”

“His confession worked…”

“What a good match!”

The onlookers looked envious. In this era, parents were the matchmakers. There were countless couples who had never seen each other before getting married. It was a blessing to be able to be with the person you actually liked. They all expressed their good wishes for this new couple.

Fang Zerong, Young General Xu, and the other soldiers felt happy for their general. It was not that their general did not like girls, but he just hadn’t met the girl he liked. When he met the girl he liked, he wouldn’t seize every opportunity to be with her.

Tang Jinghong took out the hairpin from his pocket and put it on Chu Qingzhi’s hair. “Qingzhi, this hairpin is my mother’s dowry. I’ll give it to you on her behalf. From now on, you’ll be her daughter-in-law.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled shyly. “I’m already a daughter-in-law?”

Tang Jinghong said solemnly, “Qingzhi, I won’t have a change of heart. I’ll definitely marry you. I’ll go to your house and propose tomorrow.”contemporary romance

“Jinghong, I’m only 15 years old. Can 1 wait two years before marrying you?” Chu Qingzhi felt that things were happening too quickly. She suddenly had a boyfriend and was about to get married.

Tang Jinghong’s tone was gentle and filled with doting. “Then let’s get engaged first. As for when we get married, you have the final say.”

Chu Qingzhi felt that just based on what he said just now, this man was worthy of her love. “Okay.”

A cute little girl walked over from inside the cabin with an exquisite flower basket. “Brother, Sister, I wish you happiness.”

Tang Jinghong took the flower basket and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “This is my Dragon Boat Festival gift to you.”

The flower basket was filled with beautiful and bright flowers, such as hortensia, day lilies, hibiscus, sunflowers, peonies, and begonias. The flowers surrounded an exquisite jewelry box.

Chu Qingzhi took the flower basket and gently brushed the flowers and jewelry box with her fingertips. “I like it very much. Jinghong, thank you.”

Tang Jinghong’s gaze was gentle. “You’re treating me like an outsider by thanking me.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong and smiled like a blooming flower.

The people on the shore looked at the two of them on the lantern boat. The man was handsome and imposing, and the woman was gentle and beautiful. The colorful lanterns decorated them, and the fireworks in the sky seemed to be cheering for them.

Many years later, when Qingzhi occasionally thought of this scene, she would still be mesmerized.

Chu Xuyuan tilted his head and looked at Chu Xuyao. “When did Fifth Sister and Brother Jinghong fall in love with each other?”

“I don’t know, but 1 think they’re very compatible.” Chu Xuyao suddenly became serious. “I want to find a girl I like in the future and confess to her like this. I want to have everyone’s good wishes.”

Chu Xuyuan smiled. “Me too.”

Li Qingyu looked down at his two youngest sons. “You are just kids. It’s still too early to get married.”

Shen Ruyue retracted her envious gaze and looked at Chu Xuhua.

Chu Xuhua’s hand on the railing tightened slightly. He actually had good feelings for Shen Ruyue, but he still felt inferior and did not dare to take that step. He needed more time.

Chu Qingyue looked at the fireworks in the sky. Usually, there were no fireworks during the Dragon Boat Festival. Today, the firework show should be arranged by Brother Jinghong. From the looks of it, he seemed to like Fifth Sister a lot..
