Chapter 35

This was exactly the same as described in The Guidebook!

As expected of the masterpiece written by the most elite experts of Mu Yi Star that has already predicted everything about earthlings!

Marriage is a very solemn life choice for earthlings. Therefore, the more nervous an earthling is when facing a proposal, the more it shows his serious attitude! He must not be someone who takes marriage lightly!

Lan Xi didn\'t know why, but her heart was also beating very fast, especially while waiting for Xie Cheng\'s reply. Her heartbeat was so chaotic as if she was attacked by heart disease.

Fortunately, she was after all a princess who had seen all kinds of grand occasions. Finally, Lan Xi tried hard to at least look calm on the surface.

She held Xie Cheng\'s hand and put the furry little penguin she had given him earlier into his palm. She enthusiastically announced, "This penguin, you gave it to me. If you nod, we\'ll go get our marriage certificate tomorrow, and it will be evidence of your love for me and become our witness at the wedding, the crystallization of our love!"

"... ..."

Facing her continuous offensive, Xie Cheng finally showed an expression as if he almost couldn\'t hold on. He stared at Lan Xi as if he couldn\'t get a word out.

This must be because he was too excited.

After all, not everyone could be proposed to in such a sincerely arranged scene. What\'s more, the person proposing was a noble princess.

Although Lan Xi couldn\'t announce her identity, she was confident that her innate aristocratic temperament in every move had already subtly let Xie Cheng feel that he was bathing in glory all the time.

So it was completely understandable that he was so excited that he couldn\'t speak.

In the next second, he might even cry out directly.

It would be fine if he cried too, because The Guidebook had pointed out everything in advance. Lan Xi had prepared tissues in advance, just waiting for Xie Cheng\'s two lines of hot tears to flow down, and she could affectionately wipe away those excited and happy tears for him!

However, to Lan Xi\'s slight relief, Xie Cheng apparently turned out to be stronger than she had predicted. He showed no sign of tears at all. But probably because he was holding back his tears, his complexion looked rather ugly.

"Where did you buy these candles and flowers from? What do you mean?"

Were they too beautiful and unique?

Lan Xi was very proud of this. She said, "Yes, you must have noticed. Although the theme of my proposal scene is the same as others, with candles, fresh flowers and elements of love hearts, my candles and flowers are different from those used in other people\'s proposal scenes."

"I picked them out from a hundred options. The white candles represent purity! I won\'t choose those tacky pink or red ones commonly used in ordinary proposals, because only white can represent your aloof temperament and cold looks. These white candles are just as unique and different as you are, unlike those mixed brands of pink, red and all kinds of candles..."

Lan Xi had memorized her script early on. She spoke very fluently, but Xie Cheng interrupted her expressionlessly—

"Didn\'t you notice these white candles have a word written on them?"

Lan Xi had to give Xie Cheng a big thumb up in her heart.

The earthling she had chosen was awesome with very meticulous observation. This was exactly what she was going to say.

As expected of Xie Cheng!

Therefore, she looked at Xie Cheng approvingly, "That\'s right. I bought these candles online. This word represents the brand. These candles come from a huge production line and big brand. Many different stores sell this brand online, which shows it has occupied and divided the market early on. Compared to those mixed brands of pink, red and all kinds of candles, you can see these white candles of this brand are unanimously praised and recognized by the market. Those who have used them say they are good! It was also the best-selling candle in the candle shop in the last month! The choice of the public must not be wrong!"

As Lan Xi spoke, she got more and more excited. She had indeed prepared a lot for this moment. The Guidebook clearly taught that in order to increase the success rate of the proposal, you must let the proposed person know the preparation and efforts you have made for the proposal.

Lan Xi did so naturally. After introducing her candles, she pointed to the yellow and white flowers next to them and introduced, "As for these, they are the featured flowers in flower shops recently. They are placed at the door, in the most conspicuous position, and are marked as hot-selling! I saw many passersby buying this same type. The shop owner told me these are the freshest chrysanthemums that have just been launched on the market!"

"..."

Xie Cheng must have been moved, because Lan Xi saw him reveal an indescribable restrained expression on his face.

He must be trying hard to hold back from hugging her and shouting “Yes”!

However, generally speaking, when facing a proposal, many earthlings, apart from feeling shocked, would also act more slowly, and some would play hard to get to show their preciousness and make their other half cherish themselves more in the future.

It was understandable.

After all, her own identity was so noble and the gap between her and Xie Cheng was simply that of mud and cloud, he was probably already feeling the lack of security in this relationship. So it was normal that he wanted to pretend for a bit.

Then she\'d have to try harder to take out her ultimate killer!

"In fact, I know that there is no perfect proposal scene, only better ones. Apart from candles and flowers, I originally wanted to decorate it even better, but my budget was limited..."

Xie Cheng\'s voice sounded as if he was about to lose control. He suppressed with great effort, "Lan Xi, you have decorated it well enough already. With these, what else do you still want to decorate?"

This was exactly the line she had been waiting for!

Lan Xi said coyly, "I heard from Liang Di that you like horse riding. That day in the online shop where I bought the candles, I also saw paper-folded large horses which looked very artistic. I originally wanted to buy two for you to put in the proposal scene, but when I asked about the price, it turned out to be quite expensive, so I gave up..."

She looked deeply into Xie Cheng\'s eyes, "But I hope you know, I thought of all this. It\'s just my wallet has some hardships. I can only give you the best within my ability for now. Don\'t worry. As long as I make money in the future, I will definitely buy you those paper-folded large horses for your birthday!"

Lan Xi paused and decided to press the attack, "So can you agree to my proposal?"

Unfortunately, Xie Cheng did not answer directly. He just continued to look at Lan Xi expressionlessly and asked a question completely irrelevant to the proposal—

"Do you know if there is any upcoming festival recently?"

Festival?

What festivals are coming up on Earth recently?

Lan Xi tried hard to think back.

However, her knowledge was shallow.

Apart from Valentine\'s Day and Christmas,

she couldn\'t even remember other festivals at all.

But it didn\'t matter. Lan Xi was confident in getting by without exposing herself. She could completely fool her way through relying on her intelligence and adaptability. After all, she was extremely flexible and versatile, and was well versed in the social customs of earthlings with a good grasp of the behavior patterns of earthlings.

The significance of asking about upcoming festivals at such a critical moment of proposal was self-evident.

This must be the most beloved reserve program for earthlings—combining the date of getting the marriage certificate with some festival or day with special meaning, adding joy.

Not only would Xie Cheng definitely agree to her proposal, he had even started thinking about when to get the marriage certificate and planning how to operate the wedding!

It seemed set.

Lan Xi recalled the instructions in The Guidebook and smiled shyly, "Are you thinking of going with me to get the certificate on that upcoming festival?" She covered her lips, "I think the next festival is indeed a good day. I have no objection to getting our certificate that day."

Next, it would be Xie Cheng\'s sincere confession. According to The Guidebook, he would usually movedly confess to her, followed by a hug or kiss.

Lan Xi had already mentally rehearsed the following plot countless times. She eagerly and longingly stared at the man in front of her, waiting for his next move.

And Xie Cheng did just that.

In the dim light, Xie Cheng\'s face took on a natural cold paleness, making his eyebrows and eyes appear even darker and more three-dimensional without any extraneous lines. His bone structure was superior and he was handsome without any superfluous embellishment.

Lan Xi\'s heartbeat grew somewhat more chaotic. She had to admit that as an Earthling, his appearance would be hard to compete with.

Having accompanied her with the umbrella earlier, Xie Cheng had been sprinkled with some rain, and now wearing only a white shirt, although the garment itself had not gotten wet, because of that moisture it clung fittingly to the curves of his body — his muscular proportions were just right, and that white shirt unhindered outlined his tall, vigorous figure.

Lan Xi once again confirmed that Xie Cheng was indeed in an Earth male\'s optimal reproductive state, because the pheromones surrounding his body were very strong, unambiguously transmitting this message through the muscle lines of his arms, waist, abdomen and legs.

And this male possessing Earth\'s superior gene fragments and highly concentrated reproductive hormones was about to utter a long-awaited oath.

Clearly getting married was only to better conquer Xie Cheng, conquer Xie Cheng\'s money, and thereby conquer Earth, yet at this moment, Lan Xi unexpectedly could not help but feel somewhat inexplicably nervous and flustered.

It must be those Earth idol dramas that had side effects on her!

She made an effort to steady her mind, silently reciting the operational procedures and steps she should take after Xie Cheng agreed.

However, the moment she truly heard Xie Cheng\'s low, sexy voice, Lan Xi only felt her mind go completely blank.

"I do."

Xie Cheng\'s handsome face was imperturbable as he looked at Lan Xi expressionlessly.

Just when Lan Xi was so nervous she could barely breathe, she heard the cold voice of the man in front of her ring out once more —

"You thought I would say that, didn\'t you?"

Xie Cheng pointed at everything in front of him, "After you set up a funeral parlor for me?"

Lan Xi saw him rub his brow and then grit his teeth and enunciate word for word: "Lan Xi, do you know, the nearest festival now is Qingming?"

Qingming? What was Qingming?

"You want to register on Qingming?"

......

Xie Cheng felt he was simply about to suffocate from anger.

This was a proposal?!

What kind of proposal was this?!

How could Lan Xi say this was a proposal she had carefully prepared? And pick a festival to register?

He really had to take her to get her head examined.

He looked at the culprit helplessly, trying hard to keep calm: "A hot tip: no one would register to get married on the Qingming Festival."
