During the process of going upstairs, Lin Haoming always reminded me casually to open the door first. It was fine the first time, but after emphasizing it several times in a row, I became suspicious, "Did you forget your keys when you went out?"
Lin Haoming innocently raised his hands, one holding a shopping bag and the other holding fluff's dog leash. He pursed his lips and said, "Can't you see I have no hands?"
As I took out the keys and unlocked the door, I turned to him and teased, "It's okay, even if you didn't bring the keys, I wouldn't blame you for being forgetful. After all, I'm a virtuous wife..." As I turned my head, I was startled by the scene inside the room, my lips slightly parted, my mind blank.
The room has been carefully decorated, with walls filled with various photos of me and Lin Haoming since we started dating. The floor is covered with bright red roses, illuminated by warm yellow light, creating a soft and dreamy atmosphere that perfectly matches the scene in my dreams. When I came to my senses, Lin Haoming was already kneeling in front of me, holding a ring that seemed to appear out of nowhere. His hand trembled slightly as he raised the ring, showing his current panic and nervousness, but also determination in his eyes. "Miss Loruluna, will you be my wife and let me take care of you for the rest of my life?" Will you accept me, without parents, as your only family in this world?
The soft light shone on him as he gazed at me affectionately, his eyes flickering with a hint of uncertainty and nervousness, like the prince in a fairy tale earnestly awaiting the princess's response.
Watching him kneel on one knee, my thoughts suddenly traveled back to the peak summer fifteen years ago, back to the scene of our first meeting...
On my tenth birthday, my parents dragged me to the orphanage in the countryside, saying it was to do a good deed, accumulate some blessings, and leave myself with an unforgettable birthday memory. As soon as we arrived at the orphanage, my parents went to deliver supplies to the director, leaving me alone to wander in the unfamiliar yard.
It is the height of summer, the sun shines through the lush leaves, casting speckled spots of light on the gravel path, and the sounds of cicadas and frogs fill the air.
I lower my head, bored and restless, kicking the stones at my feet, silently wondering why my parents haven't arrived yet. Suddenly, a dirty boy is pushed in front of me by his companions. They twist his arms, forcing him to kneel in front of me.
"Another new family coming to adopt a child," a slightly older boy jokes at me.
"No, my family is not... " We didn't come to adopt a child, we just came to bring you fruits and snacks. My family has no plans to have a second child!
Before I could finish, he rudely interrupted me, grabbing the kneeling boy's hair and violently pulling his lowered head in front of me. "You want to leave so badly, why don't you flatter the young lady of the house, otherwise how else would she take a liking to you!" He taunted while slapping the boy's face, causing the people around to burst into laughter.
This is bullying! Is there still a small power in the orphanage? I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
The boy forced to kneel on one knee never said a word from beginning to end, his eyes filled with despair. My heart sank, could he be mute? How dare they bully a disabled child so openly! I took a big step and quickly knocked down the leading boy. The laughter of the people around stopped abruptly, clearly not expecting that the gentle and weak-looking girl in front of them could easily knock down the tallest boy in the orphanage. Looking at the shocked expressions of the people around me, I silently sneered in my heart. This is a joke, I have been practicing karate for several years. I don't know how many of you malnourished chicks I can knock down.
After scaring away the people around, I reached out to the bullied boy and sweetly introduced myself, "Hello, my name is Loruluna, what's your name?" The boy brushed the dust off his pants, ignored me, and limped into the house.
"What kind of person is he, doesn't even say thank you, such a weirdo!"
Now, that weirdo is still on one knee, but the despair in his eyes has been replaced by tenderness like water. Unconsciously, my tears have already rolled down, and I replied in a choked voice, "I do. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?" I heard my trembling voice, filled with joy and emotion. We met in the summer fifteen years ago, and the fate of these fifteen years has finally blossomed today. He put the ring on my ring finger, kissed it gently, and said, "I've always felt something was missing here, and now it's finally complete." "Woof woof!" fluff also excitedly spun around at our feet, with wet eyes and a vigorously wagging tail.
When we had just started dating, Lin Haoming once asked me what kind of proposal I would like. I have never liked grand events, and I had never really thought about the specifics of a proposal, so I casually replied, "It's enough to just have you and me there!" After that, we never discussed the matter again, and it was forgotten for so long that even I forgot about it.
But he remembered every word I said. How could I not be willing?
