Chapter 28.2
After flipping through the second album for a while, Lou Yao Yao suddenly got up and turned on the TV. She found a video disc in the cabinet and put it into the DVD player.
Soon, words appeared on the TV.
Director cum producer cum maker: Ruan Sinan.
Actors: Qin Zhi, Lou Yao Yao.
Dubbing: A group of SBs.
Title: The poor Qin Zhi’s one hundred times of proposal.
Seeing this, Lou Yao Yao once again cursed Ruan Si Nan, this idiot!
”Because of a certain woman’s unreasonable request, our poor Qin Zhi needs to propose to a certain woman for a hundred times. Now, the first marriage proposal begins.”
After the subtitles were frozen in frame for ten seconds, the screen lit up. In the video, Qin Zhi stood on the bungee platform, and the whistling wind blew his hair into a mess. He looked down and looked a little hesitant. Soon, someone handed him a bunch of roses and said, “Bro, don’t be afraid, just close your eyes, grit your teeth, and that’s all to it, go!”
“Whose idea was this?” Qin Zhi took the bunch of flowers, gritted his teeth and looked at the camera.
”Dongdong!”
”Hey, don’t put the blame on me, okay? It’s obviously her idea, what does it have to do with me!”
”What’re you hesitating for, if you’re a man, just jump.” The camera swayed, and Qin Zhi seemed to have been kicked by someone, and reluctantly fell from the platform.
Qin Zhi, which was tied to the rubber band, dropped down and was pulled up again. This was repeated, as he held the bunch of flowers in his hand. In this way of up-and-down, the rose petals fell one by one. After bouncing for a few times, Qin Zhi seemed to have adapted, as he shouted whilst suspended in the air: “Lou Yao Yao, please marry me!”
Shouting it over and over again, it sounded somewhat like a ghost crying or a wolf howling and was a very sad and shrilling sound. Qin Zhi’s image was all ruined!
Laying on the bungee platform and looking down, he patted his chest: “Oh my, his shouting sounds so miserable. What proposal is this, so extreme. Only Qin Zhi can stand Lou Yao Yao. If my future wife also wanted such a proposal, then I’m not marrying!”
”You are finished, it is still recording, wait for Yao Yao to see, let’s see how you die!”
”Oh shit! Nan Gua {Pumpkin}, Quickly turn it off!”
”Dream on, what’re you doing, go away! Quickly pull him away!” The camera was swaying again, and Dongdong who was putting up a last-ditch struggle and shouting, was sandwiched and dragged away by the arm.
Qin Zhi was still sounding like a crying ghost or howling wolf, while the girl standing below laughed like a flower.
The first proposal was over and the screen blackened. Then, a line of subtitles appeared.
”Devoting my deepest sympathy to Qin Zhi, and at the same time, admiring Qin Zhi’s self-dedication spirit! Next up is the second marriage proposal!”
Lou Yao Yao, in her heart, once again cursed Ruan Sinan.
The screen lit up again, this time it was below Lou Yao Yao’s house. It was night, but the lights were very bright. Qin Zhi was wearing a somewhat tight high school uniform, holding a guitar standing below Lou Yao Yao’s room balcony, strumming the guitar to test the sound. At this time, dongdong and the others walked over as one of them was dragging a hose, Qin Zhi looked at them with a helpless expression: “What is this for?”
”To add some atmosphere!”
Then, Dongdong and the others turned on the faucet together and squirted masses of water onto Qin Zhi. In an instant, Qin Zhi was like a drowned rat, and his whole body was soaked. He finally couldn’t help but rebuke: “You bunch of rascals!”
”Ha ha!” Dongdong and the others laughed heartily.
Soon the camera was directed at Lou Yao Yao’s room, and it turned out that the female lead had already come out.
Lou Yao Yao leaned over with both hands on the balcony railing and looked down. Qin Zhi began to play the guitar and sing. Whether it was his guitar sounds or his singing, it was both off-key and out of tune. He was really not good at singing. Dongdong and others held up the hose to simulate a heavy rain, in an attempt to make Qin Xiao look a bit more forlorn.
He was singing Outside the Window[1], my dream girl, I have quietly loved you for many years, but silently walked away again and again, I am leaving tomorrow, if one day I can come back, then I will come to your window again to pour out my love towards you.
Singing to the end, he, standing outside the window, looked up and asked: “My dream girl, would you be willing to marry me?”
She ‘in the window’, cried and said, “I am willing.”
One hundred different marriage proposals, there was one in the water tank of the sea aquarium, there was a simple presenting of flowers and kneeling down, and there were many simulations of various movie and television proposals. Although it had been a while, Lou Yao Yao remembered them clearly.
The video of a hundred marriage proposals was very long and you would have to watch it the whole day. After Lou Yao Yao picked out the ones that she liked and watched them, she then skipped to the behind-the-scenes.
”The following is our first reactions when we heard about the two of you getting married.”
The screen showed a group of young people staring at each other. Finally, Dongdong started first: “Okay, let me talk about it first. When I heard you two wanted to get married, I was really surprised, but my first reaction was actually, was Yao Yao at the age to get the certificate?”
”That’s what I thought too, I always thought that Yao Yao was not of age yet. At that time, my first impression was: Qin Zhi was too much of a beast!”
”Qin Zhi Qin Shou {beast}!”
”No doubt!”
”Hey! You bunch of SB, this is in the video!”
”Damn! Re-record, re-record!”
Wei Sinan was indifferent and said: “No problem, after recording, it’s just a matter of cutting out this part. it’s the same if we just continue now.”
“Is that true?”
“I can’t trust Nan Gua {pumpkin}’s character!”
“Yeah, can’t trust +1.”
Ruan Sinan raised his eyebrow and said, “You guys are off-topic!”
Finally, Dongdong walked to the front of the camera, then the screen was black, and when it was lit up again, everyone was sitting well-behaved, and one by one spoke about their thought of when they heard the two were getting married. Without exception, they were all surprised to death, and even half of them thought that Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi were pranking them.
In the end, everyone made eyes at the camera and said a wretched sentence to end the video, “Yao Yao, when you’re bullying Qin Zhi, go lighter on him.”
