It was this sentence that made Lin Xiaoxiao decide to propose to Tang Xue in this place, live on air.
Because she wanted to tell everyone that Tang Xue was her lover, the person she wanted to spend her life with.
Of course, she did have a little bit of selfishness in mind. She did this to tell others that Tang Xue was hers, she was asserting her sovereignty, and warning those who had designs on Tang Xue to stay far away.
Deciding to propose had already exhausted all of Lin Xiaoxiao's courage, and now seeing that Tang Xue hadn't said a word for a long time, she was starting to feel uneasy.
Her lips twitched, but she finally spoke, "Xiaoxue, we've only been dating for a short time. I was indeed too hasty. I should have given you more time to think it over."
Lin Xiaoxiao's throat tightened a little. It would be impossible for her not to feel disappointed or sad at all.
But she also knew that she had been too hasty in this matter.
Looking at it from another angle, her proposal under these circumstances seems to carry a hint of coercion.
Although she didn't have such thoughts, she had to admit that her considerations were indeed somewhat inadequate.
"Little one!"
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to stand up, a hand lightly landed on her shoulder.
The hand didn't exert much force, but Lin Xiaoxiao's knee, which had been off the ground, knelt down again.
"Little one!"
Tang Xue called out again, and even now, she still has a dazed feeling that she is dreaming.
Tang Xue hadn't expected Lin Xiaoxiao to propose to her at this time, so much so that she had been thinking about and processing it ever since she heard it.
She didn't think that Lin Xiaoxiao proposing to her during a live broadcast would ruin her career.
In Tang Xue's view, there was nothing wrong with her and Lin Xiaoxiao loving each other. Whether they wanted to be together, whether they wanted to love each other, and whether they wanted to get married was their own business, and it had nothing to do with those who stood on moral high ground to criticize them.
She didn't react immediately, partly because she was startled, and partly because she was moved.
Their situation is different from others. Even if they can ignore those external factors, she is well aware of how much malice their union will bring.
"Xiaoxiao, could you repeat your question from before?" Tang Xue's hand on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder tightened slightly, as if she was trying her best to restrain herself.
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she understood the meaning of Tang Xue's words. Her expression was somewhat excited, and the light in her eyes was more dazzling than the stars in the night sky.
Her eyes were filled with tenderness, and her voice was gentle yet trembling slightly, "Xiaoxue, will you marry me?"
Tang Xue blinked, her eyes gentle yet lingering. "I do."
She held out her hand to Lin Xiao and said again, "I do."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao did not hesitate at all. She quickly took out the ring and put it on Tang Xue's finger. Her impatient action was as if she was afraid that Tang Xue would suddenly change her mind.
Looking at the ring on Tang Xue's finger, Lin Xiaoxiao gave a silly smile.
Tang Xue, who was initially very touched, suddenly found herself at a loss for words after seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's series of actions.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao staring blankly at the ring on her finger, seemingly forgetting about it, Tang Xue's lips curled into a helpless smile.
But her eyes were filled with doting affection and tenderness, "Silly boy, how long are you planning to kneel like this?"
With a hint of mockery in her voice, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to wake from a dream, her face flushing slightly.
She placed her hand in Tang Xue's palm and used the other's strength to stand up. At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao still had a happy and somewhat silly smile on her face.
But the next second, her silly smile was replaced by astonishment. Losing her balance, Lin Xiaoxiao involuntarily fell towards Tang Xue.
Lin Xiaoxiao threw herself into Tang Xue's arms and didn't come to her senses until Tang Xue hugged her tightly around the waist.
"How could you be so careless?" A chuckled voice rang in her ears, and Lin Xiaoxiao felt like a cat with its fur standing on end, wanting to jump up.
As a result, she moved slightly, but the hands on her waist hugged her even tighter.
"Xiaoxue".
Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned even redder. Tang Xue's behavior was something she hadn't expected. Now that she was being held in someone's arms, she couldn't even get up.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dislike this behavior, being hugged so intimately by Tang Xue in front of so many people still made her feel extremely shy.
Tang Xue smiled, ignoring Lin Xiaoxiao's struggles, and rested her chin on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder. The hands on Lin Xiaoxiao's waist not only did not loosen, but tightened even more.
Lin Xiaoxiao struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so she gave up. She moved her body and found a comfortable position to snuggle into Tang Xue's arms.
Although she was shy, Lin Xiaoxiao was still quite happy with Tang Xue's behavior.
Wow, isn't this a bit too flashy? It's blinding my sunglasses!
I thought our CEO Lin had finally held up the banner of the all-out offensive, but he was immediately brought down. The speed of that downfall was so fast I'm still a bit dazed.
[Hahaha, let's face reality. There's no way he can be the top; Mr. Lin is definitely the bottom. A top-down reversal is impossible.]
[Hmm, who can guarantee that our CEO Lin is the one down there? Maybe, out of sight of us, our CEO Lin is the one up there.]
Oh my god, I'm not clean anymore! I didn't mean to, but I just can't stop imagining it.
[You people are really impure. To be honest, when I saw that Miss Tang Xue didn't react at all, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.]
[Miss Tang Xue wasn't unresponsive; she was completely moved by our CEO Lin's bold actions, okay?]
[That's right, if it were me, I'd probably just fake fainting on the spot.]
[After our CEO Lin declared his ownership on the spot, our Miss Tang Xue was still a little unwilling to be outdone. This scene, ahhh, is so sweet!]
Under these circumstances, don't they ever consider kissing?
[Yeah, yeah, this is a proposal scene! It just doesn't feel right without a kiss.]
[At times like these, please don't treat us like outsiders, sob sob, I really want to see it.]
[Add one if you want to see more.]
[+2.]
[+ID number.]
A kiss was out of the question; it would be impossible for Tang Xue not to have such an impulse.
But Lin Xiaoxiao was just too shy. The mere act of being hugged in his arms was enough to keep the blush on her face from fading for a long time.
Chen Qing gripped the booklet tightly, her excitement and joy impossible to hide, if not for the director constantly calling her through the earpiece.
She probably still can't come to her senses. As a CP fan who witnessed the whole thing, the fact that she was able to sit here calmly without jumping up already shows her extremely strong self-control.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom." Xiao Yu stood up abruptly, said this, and then sprinted out of the living room.
Xiao Yu's action left everyone present somewhat bewildered, except for Chen Qing, who seemed to understand something after a moment of stunned silence.
She loosened the booklet she had been crumpling and said softly, "Um, the next question is related to Teacher Xiao. Could you all please take a short break?"
As she said this, she glanced upstairs and was about to speak when she heard Xiao Yu's voice.
"Aaaaaaah! My favorite couple is together! They're together! They're getting married! Aaaaaah!"
Lin Xiaoxiao and Tang Xue: "???? They don't seem to have reached that point yet!!!"
Chapter 129
===================
【！！！！！】
[...]
【？？？？】
[Pfft! Hahahaha! Little Xiao Yu is just too adorable!]
[This reaction, hahaha, is exactly the same as mine! I'm even more excited than Xiao Yu!]
[It's so hard for her. She's been holding it in until now, and it's really been so difficult for her.]
[Indeed, the moment Mr. Lin successfully proposed, I instantly transformed into an "ahhhhh" monster, not to mention Xiao Yu, who was there in person; she must have wanted to go "ahhhhh" even more than we did.]
[But this kid is really getting a little too excited. Our CEO Lin has only successfully proposed; there's still a long way to go before he actually marries our Miss Tang Xue.]
[All I want to know right now is whether Xiao Yu realized she didn't mute her mic while venting, hahaha.]
[Hahaha, oh my god, this is a massive social disaster! Although it's very immoral, I'm actually inexplicably looking forward to it right now.]
[Looking forward to adding one more.]
After venting her frustrations, Xiao Yu, who had been the subject of much discussion, didn't linger in the bathroom before coming down.
However, after coming down, Xiao Yu noticed that the people in the living room were looking at her with strange expressions.
Xiao Yu tugged at her sleeve, looking puzzled, and whispered, "Wh...what's wrong?"
"It's alright, come and sit down." Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the spot where Xiao Yu had been sitting, concealing her somewhat strange expression.
To be honest, at first, she really didn't know that Xiao Yu was a fan of her and Tang Xue's CP (couple pairing).
At that time, she just thought the child was quite amusing. Later, she had a tiny bit of doubt, which has now been confirmed.
Lin Xiaoxiao shifted her position, thinking about what Xiao Yu had just said, and secretly glanced at Tang Xue, only to bump into the other's gentle, smiling eyes.
Caught peeking, Lin Xiaoxiao blushed slightly, straightened her posture, and straightened her back.
Tang Xue chuckled and squeezed Lin Xiaoxiao's palm, suppressing the urge to touch her face. She then looked away from Lin Xiaoxiao and smiled at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was dazzled by Tang Xue's smile, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao before walking back to her previous seat and sitting down.
Chen Qing looked at Xiao Yu's refreshed appearance after venting her anger, her eyes filled with envy. She had also been planning to go to the bathroom when Xiao Yu said she was going.
Before she could even utter those words, she heard Xiao Yu's uncontrollable, excited roar, which completely swallowed her words back. She also really wanted to go out and vent her frustration.
After sitting down, Xiao Yu saw Chen Qing looking at her with envy. She tilted her head in confusion, wondering why Chen Qing was looking at her like that.
At that moment, she had no idea that she hadn't turned off her microphone when she vented, nor did she know that her words had been heard by others. She was just a little surprised and didn't think much of it.
“Our next question is related to Teacher Xiao.” Chen Qing opened the booklet in her hand and looked up at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu nodded and subconsciously placed her hand on the microphone on her collar, but the smile on her face froze the next second.
Thinking back to the strange looks people gave her when she came down, Xiao Yu moved her stiff neck and looked at Tang Xue sitting next to her, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
Xiao Yu simply couldn't believe that she hadn't turned off her microphone when she said those words.
However, no matter how unwilling she was to admit it, the microphone on her collar was always on.
