"What are you doing?"
Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but exclaim, covering her mouth in shock and confusion as she looked at him.
Why had no one told her that a boyfriend getting down on one knee was a part of the adult ceremony?
Gu Zhihan then slowly took out the prepared ring box and opened it, handing it to her, "Mengmeng, will you engage with me?"
"Although I already proposed to you that time at the hospital during your flu, I always feel that the proposal was too rushed and too informal. It was unfair to you, so I want to take this opportunity during our coming-of-age ceremony to propose to you once again."
"I, Gu Zhihan, hereby vow that in sickness and in health, whether poor or rich, through good times and bad, I will always love you and protect you, until the end of time."
He spoke word by word, extremely seriously, with a hint of nervousness and unease.
Although he knew Mengmeng would surely accept his proposal, at this moment he still couldn’t help feeling nervous.
Luo Mengmeng lowered her hand from her lips, stepped forward to snatch the ring from his hand, slipped it onto her finger, and then hugged him tightly, "I will! I do! Gu Zhihan, I will!"
As she spoke, tears of happiness followed, sliding down her cheeks.
The tears at this moment were no longer salty, but sweet, like honey.
"Congratulations to our newly engaged couple!" the emcee came out at this moment and started saying a bunch of ceremonial words.
Luo Mengmeng had never dreamt that her and Gu Zhihan’s coming-of-age ceremony would end up being their engagement party.
When the engagement party was almost over, Tong Mo mysteriously pulled Mengmeng, who was dressed in a starry wedding gown, to the side.
"Mengmeng, come over here, I have a gift for you!"
"What gift?" Luo Mengmeng was somewhat puzzled as she looked at her.
"It’s... this!" Tong Mo said, as she took out a small box from her bag.
Luo Mengmeng instantly looked up, and then, her head was full of black lines.
"A box of chewing gum is your gift to me?"
Luo Mengmeng was really at a loss for words with her stinginess.
This was her one and only engagement party in her life, yet her best friend only gave her a stick of Green Arrow chewing gum; wasn’t this a bit too much?
"What chewing gum?" Hearing this, Tong Mo also showed a perplexed expression and quickly looked at what was in her hand.
When she saw that she was indeed holding chewing gum, she gave a dry laugh, immediately took it back, "Sorry, sorry, my mistake, actually, I meant to give you this!"
This time Tong Mo was careful, taking out a box of condoms and handing it to her.
"What’s this for?" Luo Mengmeng, holding it and giving it a glance, was immediately puzzled.
Tong Mo was speechless: "..."
"You really don’t know what this is?"
"I don’t know." Mengmeng shook her head blankly.
"I really can’t with you!" Tong Mo rubbed her forehead and then, glanced around to see no one nearby, she whispered in her ear, "If you don’t want to make a baby with Gu Zhihan, remember to wear this when you do it!"
With that said, Luo Mengmeng instantly understood.
Her fair face turned bright red in an instant, pointing at her, "Tong Mo! You’re so dirty!"
Tong Mo couldn’t help but "hehe" with a mischievous laugh, "We’re all adults now, there’s nothing to be ashamed of."
Besides, she was doing this for their sake.
They might be adults now, but they were still in their senior year of high school, facing college entrance exams. If they ended up with a baby by accident, that would be a disaster.
