The excitement of moving into a new house lasted for a few days, and Chen Shuo's life returned to stability. He coded on the computer every day, or went to the attic to exercise.

Bai Xiaoqi is currently studying growing vegetables and trying to live a self-sufficient life.

The green plants on the rooftop, as well as smaller trees, such as evergreens and podocarpus, are all planted in wooden flower boxes.

She thought this thing was particularly suitable for growing vegetables, so she searched online and chose one with beautiful decorations. She also bought a lot of vegetable seeds and the merchant even thoughtfully gave her some fertilizer.

Then Bai Xiaoqi put the seeds inside according to the tutorials found on the Internet, covered them with soil, applied some fertilizer, watered them, and then waited quietly for the seeds to germinate.

Seeing her looking forward to watering the soil again, Chen Shuo came over to take a look. He felt that this little girl had done something like that. He touched his chin and said, "Have you considered planting some fruits? In the future, you will even have fruits."

No need to buy any."

"fruit?"

Bai Xiaoqi looked up at him, with a look of emotion on her face, "What kind of fruit do we grow?"

"How about watermelon?"

Chen Shuo pointed to a few empty wooden flower boxes next to him, "You happen to have a few empty ones here."

"That's what I use to grow flowers."

"Oh, forget it. It's hard to make a living growing watermelons, and you have to get rid of the insects, which is really troublesome." Chen Shuo gave up the plan of growing watermelons and said, "Then I'll go to the flower market to buy you some seedlings later. You

What flowers do you want to plant?”

"No need to go, I've already thought of where to go to get flowers."

"Where to get it?"

"The secret, I can't tell you yet."

"whispering sound..."

Chen Shuo said, "It's still secret. Planting flowers is still mysterious."

"I actually have a secret too," he said.

"What?"

"I told you it's a secret, so of course I can't tell you."

"whispering sound..."

Bai Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose and snorted. She suspected that this guy had no secret at all. It was entirely because she didn't tell him where to get flowers, so he deliberately said that he also had a secret.

In fact, there is none.

My witty self has already seen through everything.

"It's true. I won't lie to you." Chen Shuo put his hand in his pocket and stroked the small, square box.

"Want to know? Call me husband, then kiss me, and I will tell you."

"I don't want to know." Bai Xiaoqi turned her eyes to the side and continued to water the vegetables with the watering can so as not to be fooled by him.

"I promise you'll regret it."

"Really?" He said in a surprised tone.

"Yes."

"oh....."

Bai Xiaoqi said "Oh" and continued to water the vegetables, unmoved at all.

After waiting for a while, she didn't speak again, and Chen Shuo couldn't help himself.

The little meow has now learned to deal with people, and is not as cute as before.

He took out the small box from his pocket and said, "Look what this is."

Bai Xiaoqi glanced at it and saw that it was a very delicate small box, "What?"

"Call me husband, then kiss me again, and I will..."

When Chen Shuo was about to finish his sentence, Bai Xiaoqi snatched the box from his hand. What kind of husband am you? You are not married yet, you are so shameless.

Contained in the box is a ring, bright white, with a diamond inlaid on it.

She picked it up, looked at it between her fingers, and looked at the sun.

Chen Shuo didn't know what to say. Originally, his plan was to go through a complete process. The most important thing was to highlight the sense of ritual, such as kneeling on one knee, holding up the ring, and saying "will you marry me"

?

Then she said I was willing, threw herself into her arms, offered her a sweet kiss, and maybe she would even be moved to recommend a pillow mat.

What a good script, but it was completely ruined by this girl. It ended before it even started, and also interrupted my own train of thought.

After holding it in for a long time, Chen Shuo asked dryly: "Will you marry me?"

"Yes." Bai Xiaoqi didn't even raise her head, focusing on studying the ring on her hand. Then she pressed the diamond inlaid on it with her fingertips and asked, "Is this a diamond?"

"It's a diamond, but... I asked you to cooperate a little. I'm going to use this ring to propose. I hope you can respect this occasion." For some reason, Chen Shuo always felt a little tight in his chest.

"Then I won't marry you if you don't propose?"

"You know the bubble teapot, this is a ritual."

"You only know how to make a bubble teapot and buy a diamond ring. Diamonds are very expensive when you buy them, but in fact they are not worth much at all. They are just for fools. It is an IQ tax. It is better to buy gold. Gold is fine.

It maintains its value and will continue to increase in price, which is equivalent to investment."

"...." Chen Shuo couldn't answer these words.

Seeing that he was silent, Bai Xiaoqi raised the ring and looked at it. There seemed to be words engraved on the inner wall of the ring.

"Why is there still a word meow engraved on the inside of this ring?" she asked.

"Because I couldn't carve your name, and I was worried that you wouldn't recognize your initials, so I just engraved the word "meow"."

“Does that mean once it’s engraved, it can’t be returned?”

"retreat?"

Chen Shuo was stunned, never expecting that she would say such a thing.

"Yeah." Bai Xiaoqi responded to indicate that he heard correctly, and put the ring in her hand, "Can I return this? After returning it, I can buy a gold one in our own online store. It can be cheaper and is equivalent to earning money.

money."

"I..."

Chen Shuo opened his mouth, he is a fucking little business genius.

"Proposals are always made with diamond rings. Diamonds last forever. One diamond lasts forever, which is equivalent to love. Gold rings are the three gold pieces of gold when getting married. Forget it..."

Chen Shuo gave up explaining to her. Little Amiao's brain circuit was so fresh and refined that it couldn't be explained at all.

"You can't back out anymore, so hurry up and put it on." He waved his hand, turned around and left.

At this moment, Chen Shuo felt that he had suffered internal injuries. The smooth proposal scene was completely disrupted by this little money fan.

What's more important is that the money to buy the ring came from my own small coffers, which I had managed to save for several months.

Even applying Yunnan Baiyao can't relieve the trauma of the soul. The only way to relieve the worries is to pet the cat.

Chen Shuo was going to vent his resentment towards little Amiao by petting the cat, since they were all cats anyway.

Although Walnut's cat nest is still on the balcony downstairs, he basically doesn't lie down in it now.

Since the rooftop pond was filled with water and a dozen koi were raised, it said goodbye to the days of eating, sleeping, and eating.

Every day when I have nothing to do, I would run up to the rooftop, squat down by the pond, look out at its big chubby cat face, and watch the koi fish swimming around in the water.

At this moment, Walnut was squatting by the pond again. Chen Shuo went over to lift it up, held it in his arms and petted the cat vigorously.

It's better to have a big orange, because you don't have to buy a ring, and you can let people touch it freely, unlike Little Amiao, who still dislikes buying a diamond ring, saying it's for fools, and it's an IQ tax - although what she said is indeed right.

What diamonds are said to last forever and be passed down forever is nothing more than those diamantaires linking this beautiful piece of rubbish to love and then defrauding fools of their money.

In fact, the output of diamonds is very large, and there is no difference between artificial diamonds and natural diamonds.

Maybe she just thought it was just a broken stone. Although it looked good, it was still a broken stone no matter how beautiful it looked. She couldn't like the stone, so she angrily asked for a refund.

"If you don't like this diamond ring, just put it aside and I'll buy you a gold one another day."

Chen Shuo felt that he had guessed what she was thinking, but when he turned around with the cat in his arms, he realized that he had been wrong.

Bai Xiaoqi was lowering her head and gently stroking the ring on her hand. It could be seen from the cute and innocent smile on her face that this girl obviously liked it very much.

"What did you just say?" After hearing Chen Shuo's words, Bai Xiaoqi came back to her senses and raised her face to look at him.

"Oh, nothing."
