Yang Liu, who was sitting nearby and watching the fun, immediately smiled and waved his hand: "You are young and dating, your dad and I are not light bulbs. Besides, there are many mosquitoes at night, so I am too lazy to go out."

Yang Liu has never liked Xia Tian very much. This reason is very reasonable and Ruan Qi does not raise any suspicion.

She looked at Cheng Jinyan and Grandpa Xi again.

"Eldest brother and Grandpa Xi haven't watched an outdoor movie, right? Why don't you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Xi with a wave of his hand.

"I won't go. The movies nowadays are not good to watch, and the romance is boring and dull. You young people, go and watch it. I will play chess with your grandpa at home."

"..." Mr. Xi, who always loved to join in the fun, actually rejected him. Ruan Qi was surprised and looked at Cheng Jinyan again.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jinyan also rejected her.

"I have a video conference to hold tonight, so I probably don't have time to go to an outdoor movie. I'm sorry, Xiao Qi, but you and Xi Jiu can go."

"..."

Ruan Qi has always been rarely rejected by her family. No matter how unreasonable her request is, her family will try their best to satisfy her.

But today, she encountered the worst Waterloo in history.

The whole family, men, women and children, actually refused to go to the movies with her. Nie Heng also rejected Ruan Qi's request for the two dogs, including Anise and Anise, on the grounds that they had eaten too much these days and had to take them to the back hill for a jog in the evening to lose weight.

"Why are you all busy today? Can't you all go to the movies? Outdoor movies are very lively, do you really not want to go?" Ruan Qi tried to persuade everyone unwillingly.

But everyone was determined and rejected her kindness again.

Ruan Qi was helpless and turned to look at Xi Jiu: "Jiujiu, maybe you and I will be the only ones tonight. There are not many people, will you feel bored?"

"No." Xi Jiu rubbed her head with a smile in her eyes, "It's suitable for a date if there are fewer people. I like to be alone with my baby."

Seeing this, Ruan Qi suddenly became happy.

She put a big bun for Xi Jiu and said happily: "Then you eat more. When you are full, we will go on a date in the evening~"

Evening came quickly.

In order to suit the atmosphere of the date, Ruan Qi took off the home clothes she had been wearing these days and put on a beautiful and exquisite dress.

The bun that had been tied up because she was too lazy to take care of it was also let down. The long, black and satin hair was spread smoothly on her shoulders. A small white pearl hairpin was stuck on the sideburns with broken hair. It was delicate and cute.

Ruan Qi dressed up in the bedroom, put on her small satchel, and went downstairs with brisk steps.

Downstairs, Xi Jiu was already waiting in the living room.

Different from the casual dress these days, Xi Jiu tonight became the aloof Xi Ye in the imperial capital. From the hair to the shoes, there is nothing that is not exquisite, and the whole body exudes a noble atmosphere.

Ruan Qi walked downstairs and was shocked when she saw his elegant attire.

"Jiujiu, aren't you hot wearing so much?"

Xi Jiu is wearing black that suits him best today. A black shirt embroidered with gold patterns, the sleeves neatly rolled up to the elbows. Wearing trousers of the same color underneath, they have a regular fit and high-end workmanship. Every inch of the fabric exudes the aura of money.

Such a high-end and expensive outfit is more than enough to attend a banquet.

But...it's August now!

In Qingyun Village in August, no matter how cool it is, the temperature is nearly 30 degrees. On such a hot day, everyone wants to bare their butts. Is Xi Jiu wearing these long sleeves and trousers because of heat stroke? !

Ruan Qi was completely shocked.

She looked at her outrageously handsome fiancé, who seemed to be going to a wedding, and murmured: "Jiujiu, we are just going to a movie, not a red carpet. You don't have to be so...ceremonious."

Ruan Qi tried to persuade Xi Jiu to change into seasonal clothes.

But Xi Jiu didn't know what happened today, and she suddenly became stinky and beautiful.

He refused the suggestion to change clothes and insisted: "This clothes is fine, no need to change. I have energy in my body and can adjust my body's temperature according to the air temperature. I won't get heatstroke due to heat."

Ruan Qi: "..."

Fine.

Her fiancé suddenly loves beauty, and she must respect his hobby.

Ruan Qi convinced herself to accept Xi Jiu, who wore long sleeves and trousers on a hot day, then said goodbye to her family and left the villa.

It was nearly seven o'clock in the evening, and it was getting dark.

Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu held hands and walked side by side on the path leading to the square.

The evening breeze brings the fragrance of vegetation. The night sky without air pollution is clean and clear, dotted with stars, and shed a starry glow on the ground.

Ruan Qi walked under the starlight, feeling the warmth from Xi Jiu's big hand, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

"Jiujiu, it seems that we rarely walk hand in hand like this."

Xi Jiu, who was walking beside her, turned to look at her and said softly, "Hmm."

Ruan Qi is a public figure, and appearing rashly will cause chaos. Xi Jiu has not had a public identity in the past two years, and it is difficult for her to appear in public hand in hand with Ruan Qi.

But now it's better, they have made their relationship public and can hold hands openly.

"After I return to the Imperial Capital, I will reduce my workload appropriately and try to spend more time with my baby on a date. Isn't there a hundred things that couples must do online? We should do all of these things too, okay? ?”

Xi Jiu's dark eyes looked at Ruan Qi quietly with expectation.

Ruan Qi rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay. I will make less announcements in the future and spend more time with my parents. But Jiujiu, I am a public figure. If you go on a date with me, you may be watched."

Xi Jiu: "It doesn't matter, I run fast. If someone really blocks me, I will take the baby and run away."

Ruan Qi imagined the scene of Xi Jiu pulling her and running away in embarrassment, and couldn't help but laugh.

"But what if I can't run as fast as you? Will it hold you back?"

"No." Xi Jiu held her hand tightly and said in a serious tone, "I will run with the baby on my back. I have good physical strength and they can't catch up with me. In short, no matter what situation I face, I will never abandon the baby. ”

Hearing these words, Ruan Qi couldn't help but feel a little softer.

Her eyes were full of smiles, and her gentle gaze fell on Xi Jiu's face, "I know, I know Jiujiu will never abandon me, and I will never abandon Jiujiu. Let's go quickly, the movie will start in a while here we go."

Ruan Qi pulled Xi Jiu and walked faster.

Based on past experience, open-air movies in the village usually start at 7:30. If you want to get a seat in the front, you have to arrive half an hour in advance.

In order to give Xi Jiu a full experience of watching an outdoor movie for the first time, Ruan Qi decided to go there quickly and get two good seats.

However, when she hurriedly arrived at the small square, she unexpectedly discovered——

There is no one here at all!

The empty little square has an unobstructed view. Not to mention people, not even a stray dog.

Where are people?

What about movies?

What about such a big movie screen?

Ruan Qi looked at the empty square and was dumbfounded.

"Jiujiu, did you remember the wrong date? Is the movie really tonight?" she asked uncertainly.

Xi Jiu pretended to be calm and nodded: "Even tonight, Nie Heng and I will remember it wrong."

Ruan Qi: "But now...there is nothing."

"Maybe there was an accident." Xi Jiu said, suddenly letting go of her hand, "I'm going to find out. Baby, don't move here. I'll be right back."

After Xi Jiu finished speaking, before Ruan Qi could react, he turned around and ran away quickly.

"????"

Ruan Qi's head was filled with questions.

She wanted to call Xi Jiu. But Xi Jiu was too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Helpless, Ruan Qi had no choice but to put down her hands and stand obediently.

But as she stood, she vaguely noticed something strange around her.

This small square is a little too quiet.

It gets dark late in the summer, and seven or eight o'clock in the evening is the entertainment time for the villagers. And in this small square, villagers come to dance square dances every night, and there are also children running around and playing, which is really lively.

But today, there wasn't even an ant in the square.

Even if there is an outdoor movie tonight, it won't be so quiet, right? Where is the aunt who dances in the square? What about the little kids running around in the square?

Ruan Qi realized something was wrong belatedly.

She didn't want to stand there and wait anymore, and was going to go to a crowded place to find out what happened.

But before going, she had to send a WeChat message to Xi Jiu.

Ruan Qi took out her phone and was about to unlock the screen.

However, at this moment, the lights around the square suddenly went out with a "swish".

The whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of cloth and instantly became dark.

Standing in the center of the square, Ruan Qi's first reaction was that there was danger and enemies.

But before she could become alert, an orange light slowly turned on in the thick night.

Then, the second, third, fourth... countless lights slowly emerged from all directions, and then floated lightly into the night sky in the gentle evening breeze.

It turned out to be a Kongming Lantern!

Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly opened wide.

She looked up at the lights in the night sky, and before she could react, a Kongming lantern slowly floated in front of her.

Different from other Kongming lanterns, this Kongming lantern is larger and more exquisite in workmanship.

On the lantern paper, a picture was drawn with a brush. In the picture, there is a little girl wearing a sunflower hairband, and a young man with an indifferent expression.

Those were nine-year-old Ruan Qi and sixteen-year-old Xi Jiu.

【This is our first encounter】

——Beside the painting, someone wrote this line on the lantern with a brush.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Ruan Qi guessed who the owner of the Kongming Lantern was.

Her eyes were slightly hot, and she let go of the Kongming Lantern, letting it fly slowly into the sky.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound, and a white drone flew slowly from a distance, and finally stopped in front of Ruan Qi.

Through the sky full of Kongming lanterns, Ruan Qi saw something hanging under the drone.

She stood on tiptoe, raised her hand and took off the thing——

It turned out to be a dragonfly woven from grass leaves.

This dragonfly is very delicately woven, with a thin twine running at its end. And on the twine, there is a carefully polished wooden sign.

There is a small line of words engraved on the wooden sign——

[At the age of three, you have your first grass dragonfly]

I thought about the proposal plot for a long time. I was torn between luxury and luxury for a long time and ordinary warmth, and finally chose the latter. Compared to a proposal ceremony that involves spending money, letting Mr. Xi make Kongming lanterns and weave grass dragonflies with his own hands is more meaningful and more worthy of his sincerity for Ruanbao. Of course, the content of the proposal is more than that, there will be something more thoughtful tomorrow. Please look forward to it~
