After the meal, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu rested in the private room for a while and talked about the chip. Zhuang Liu kept looking at his phone and typing replies.
Tan Rou thought that Zhuang Liu was very busy, so she said, “If Third Brother has something urgent, then let’s go back first.”
“No.” Zhuang Liu put down his phone. “The scenery outside is pretty good.
Rourou, do you want to take a look?”
“Sure.” Tan Rou felt that it was still early and she could enjoy the scenery for a while longer.
Outside was a field of plum trees. The red and white plums were in full bloom, adding a lot of color to this solemn winter. Between the red and white plum blossoms, there were a few green plum blossoms scattered around. Green plum blossoms were very rare, and it was a very lucky thing to see them.
“Rourou, do you want to see the snow?” Zhuang Liu hooked Tan Rou’s pinky and asked gently in her ear.
Tan Rou looked at the clear sky outside and then looked at the weather forecast on her phone. She asked in confusion, “There’s no forecast for snow in the Capital these few days. Does Third Brother want to go somewhere else to see the snow?”
Zhuang Liu nodded gently. “1 mean, do you want to see the snow now?”
Tan Rou said, “Even if I want to, there won’t be snow now.”
“As long as Xiao Rou wants to see it, there will be snow.” Zhuang Liu held Tan Rou’s hand and pointed out the window. “Rourou, I want to watch the first snowfall with you.”
As if a magic spell had worked, snowflakes began to fall outside. The snowflakes fell on the plum blossoms, adding a romantic color to the entire plum forest.
“Wow, it’s really snowing!” Tan Rou pressed her face against the window. “Is it artificial snow?”
Zhuang Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Rourou, don’t mention artificial snow in such a romantic atmosphere.”
Tan Rou smiled. “It’s beautiful! I love it!”
Zhuang Liu clenched his fists. “Rourou, you liked the snow 1 prepared for you. What about me? Do you like me?”
Tan Rou didn’t even think about it and answered directly, “Of course.”
Zhuang Liu was delighted. “Then, does this mean we’re together now?”
“All?” Tan Rou flinched. “1 mean, I like you, but I don’t mean that we have to be together. If 1 had to explain, it would be that I admire you.”
“No love? Rourou, don’t you have feelings for me?” Zhuang Liu asked.
“Yes.” Tan Rou did not want to lie to Zhuang Liu. “1 do have some feelings for Third Brother, but I don’t want to be in a relationship now. Can you wait until I go to university?”
Zhuang Liu’s eyes were filled with loneliness. “1 also wanted to wait until Rourou went to university before confessing, but you’re such an outstanding young lady. I’m afraid that you won’t like me when you meet someone else.”
Tan Rou could guarantee that she would like Zhuang Liu, but she wasn’t Zhuang Liu, so she couldn’t understand Zhuang Liu’s worry about losing her.
“I…” Tan Rou hesitated.
Zhuang Liu took out a velvet box from his pocket. Inside was a pair of hexagonal snowflake hairpins. “Rourou, this is the first snow we’ve watched together. Would you be willing to watch every first snow of the winter with me for the rest of your life?”
Tan Rou’s heart was suddenly struck by something. Her eyes felt a little uncomfortable, as if she was about to cry.
“Rourou, since you don’t have an answer for me, 1 would then ask you again next year.” Zhuang Liu closed the box dejectedly and handed it to Tan Rou. “But, this is still a gift that I’ve prepared for you. This hair clip is called ‘First Snow and Love’. It’s specially designed for you.”
After Tan Rou took the box, she opened it again and raised her eyebrows.
“Aren’t you going to help me put it on? If you put it on, I’ll give you a chance.”
Zhuang Liu’s heart raced. “Really?”
Tan Rou tilted her head and leaned against the window. “Well, lead the way! You’re my boyfriend now!”
Zhuang Liu’s voice trembled. “Sure, my dearest!”
He solemnly put on the snowflake hair clip for Tan Rou. Although the hair clip was not the most beautiful, it was a gift he had personally made for today’s confession.
“Xiao Rou, do you know why I confessed at first snow?” Zhuang Liu stroked Tan Rou’s hair and asked happily.
“Why?” Tan Rou didn’t know.
“Because the first snow is the most romantic day, the most suitable day to confess.” Zhuang Liu said.
“But this is artificial snow.” Tan Rou said.
“It’s alright.” Zhuang Liu planted a gentle kiss on Tan Rou’s forehead. “We should be in control of our own happiness. We shouldn’t leave it up to god.”
Tan Rou felt that this sentence was very reasonable. Whether it was love or life, everything should be in one’s own hands..
