To be more precise, the thumb and index finger of his right hand were clasped on the middle finger of Xia Qi's left hand.

Under the dim light, Xia Qi could only feel his thumb and index finger sliding downward slowly from the tip of her middle finger, as if he was simulating the action of putting on a ring for her, or maybe - he

He is wearing a transparent ring on her.

And his faint but cold voice sounded low in her ears, "This is my wedding token for you. I want to marry you, love you, and protect you. No matter you are poor or rich, no matter the environment is good or bad, no matter you are sick.

Healthy, I will always be your faithful husband."

This is... the same vow as the groom said just now, word for word!

Xia Qi was stunned, did he know what he was talking about?

She bit her lip and whispered, "There are some things you shouldn't say casually."

"I didn't say it casually." His fingers squeezed between her fingers, took her left hand, put it on his lips and gently licked her fingers.

Xia Qi was a little lucky that the surrounding light was dim at the moment and no one could see this scene. Her fingers were numb and itchy. She was about to ask Jun Jinyan to let go of his hand first, but she heard Jun Jinyan say, "Qi

Qi, I want to be your husband."

Xia Qi suddenly froze. The surrounding lights turned from dark to bright, and his face gradually became clear in her pupils.

At this moment, his expression was serious and solemn, and his dark eyes were extremely serious.

So - is this his proposal?

Xia Qi thought blankly.

——————

Until she and Jun Jinyan arrived at the hotel parking lot, Xia Qi still couldn't recover. Was Jun Jinyan proposing to her just now? But he didn't wait for her answer.

Or maybe it should be said that he was just stating a fact to her. A fact that he wanted to be her husband, instead of asking her if it was possible or not.

After getting into Jun Jinyan's car, Xia Qi looked at the person sitting in the driver's seat. She wanted to ask something, but she didn't know how to ask. She just felt like her mind was in chaos.

A lot of things happened tonight, and now, he dropped such a heavy bomb on her.

On the contrary, it was Jun Jinyan who spoke first, "When do you want to hold the wedding?"

Xia Qi was startled and almost choked on her own saliva. "Wedding?" She intuitively felt that her voice was a little out of tune.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed, "You don't want to?"

Xia Qi bit her lip. It had only been more than two months since they reunited and dated, and now they were talking about getting married. For her... "It's too fast." She murmured.

"What?" Confusion flashed in his eyes, and he obviously didn't understand what she meant.

"We have only been dating for a short time, and we suddenly said we were going to get married. It felt...too fast." Or rather, she was not mentally prepared for this.

"Is it fast?" He blinked his eyelashes, raised his hand, and almost carefully touched her cheek that was slightly swollen by Dai Mingming, "Qiqi, maybe it's too fast for you, but

For me, it’s very, very slow.”

She winced due to the slight sting on her cheek, but she stared at him blankly because of his words.

"I want to love you and protect you, and I also want you to love me and protect me. Then, no matter what, you and I will be loyal to each other. Isn't this good?" He said in a low voice, always calm.

His voice was filled with a strong sense of longing at this moment.

But Xia Qi couldn't even say a word in rebuttal.

"You... want me to love you and protect you?" she asked nagging. He is so powerful, does he need protection?

"Well, I really want to, really want to!" He leaned over and his face suddenly came close to hers. Just when she thought he might kiss her, she didn't expect that the tip of his tongue slightly poked out, gently

Brushed her cheek.

He... was licking her face!

Or to be more precise, the tip of his tongue was gently licking the redness on her cheek.

The warm and moist touch made Xia Qi feel a burst of blood on her face on the spot. Her face, which was already a little hot, now became extremely hot.

"What are you doing!" She leaned back instinctively, trying to avoid his tongue.

However, his left hand held the back of her head, preventing her from moving her head back even half a minute.

He continued to lick her cheek carefully, as if licking some treasure, "Lick it, the pain will be less."

Xia Qi suddenly remembered that when she was young, she played with him, often taking him to climb walls, climb trees, dig mud, pile sand, or play with other children. She herself was a naughty child when she was a child, but

Jun Jinyan was different. When he was a child, he was always protected at home, for fear of being bumped or fallen.

But after being with her, he bumped into each other often. And she was afraid that he would cry, so every time he bumped into her, she would lick him, and then tell him that it wouldn't hurt anymore if she licked him.

And he always believed in her words. Even if the pain made tears well up in his eyes, as long as she licked him, his tears would quickly stop. So in the end, she almost didn't need to say anything to him.

Whenever there was pain on her body, I would directly ask her to "lick it", which made her laugh at other children for a while.

And now, is Jun Jinyan licking her like this because he really believes it? Even if it is the childish words she said when she was a child?!

Xia Qi was lost in thought until Jun Jinyan's voice sounded in her ears, "Does it still hurt?"

Xia Qi blushed and shook her head. Even if there was pain at first, it all turned into another burning feeling.

Jun Jinyan started the car and said, "Go back to the hospital?"

"Well, I want to go to the hospital to see how mom is doing first," Xia Qi said.

The car drove towards the hospital in the night. Along the way, Xia Qi looked at the scenery outside the car window, and what she was thinking about was the scenes with Jun Jinyan from childhood to adulthood.

If the interaction between ordinary people is a process from unfamiliarity to familiarity, then what about her and Jun Jinyan? They have been together for too long and are too familiar.

Even though there is a gap of ten years, it is still familiar, as if just a simple action will bring back everything from childhood.

Or maybe she and him were each other's imprints, engraved in the deepest part of her memory. Even if she tried desperately to forget, they were still firmly in the depths of her memory.
