Everyone Thought the Proposal Was Over…Until He Turned the Whole Snow Mountain Into Their Wedding

As soon as the parenting show director walked out of the movie premiere, he started the live stream.

Even though Xie Zhaozhou’s voice was very low, the corridor was quiet enough that you could still hear what he was saying.

The bullet comments instantly flooded with question marks.

[??????]

[Wow, so it really was love after marriage? But you’re already married, why are you only proposing now? If I don’t ship this, who will? Sniff, another eight hundred from me! Crying.jpg]

[Your wife is also my wife, why be so standoffish? What’s wrong with proposing right here! Why can’t I listen!]

[President Xie, I suggest you don’t be unappreciative of favors. If you want to marry my wife, you have to include me in the wedding, right? If not, at least save me a spot under your bed at night. Puppy hugging leg crying.jpg]

[Dammit, this bastard really did seduce my wife right in front of me on the show.]

The director tried hard to control himself from laughing out loud.
Who could understand this?
This unprecedented luck just refused to leave him.

He Lin had delayed the release of Last Night’s Star.
Ning Shixue couldn’t attend the movie’s promotional events.
Everyone knew it was because he was sick and had surgery.
This premiere was Ning Shixue’s first public appearance since his surgery.

He had just wanted to ride on the buzz.
He never expected Xie Zhaozhou to suddenly propose.
This was an exclusive live stream.

The parenting show guests and the crew also heard.
But no one dared to start anything.
He Lin almost couldn’t help being sarcastic.
But Ning Shixue was too thin-skinned.
He couldn’t bear to bully him.

Only Tang Haohao scratched his head and asked blankly,
“Aren’t Little Ning Brother and Uncle Xie already married?”

Xie Zhaozhou: “…”

Xie Zhaozhou was holding a large bouquet of roses.
But he was wearing a black coat, and now his face was dark.
He looked exactly like the great antagonist.
Tang Haohao was so scared he shuddered.

[Dying of laughter. If you’re going to talk, say more.]

[Good, good. ‘Little Ning Brother and Uncle Xie,’ right? Uncle Xie is coming to spank your little bottom later.]

“You don’t understand,”
Xie Yaoyao said, propping his chubby face in his hands and sighing.
He had already learned to quickly answer.
“Adults have nightlife, can add boba to milk tea, and can get married.”

Xie Zhaozhou felt he was being punished.
Maybe he shouldn’t have let Xie Yaoyao get that haircut.

He had originally planned to propose in this backstage area after the premiere ended.
Then drive Ning Shixue out to play at night.

Even though he didn’t mind proposing in front of so many people, Ning Shixue would probably prefer it to be just the two of them.

Xie Zhaozhou had to give up.
He rubbed Ning Shixue’s cheek.
“Another day…”

Before he could finish, Ning Shixue got anxious.
He wanted Xie Zhaozhou to propose to him.
Xie Zhaozhou could hold back so much.
Who knew when he would actually propose?
Now that he knew Xie Zhaozhou wanted to propose, how could he wait?

Ning Shixue didn’t even care that the camera was still on him.
He grabbed Xie Zhaozhou’s wrist.
His lips moved.
Most of his pale, beautiful face was hidden by the roses.
The vibrant colors made the tips of his ears look even redder.
He couldn’t force Xie Zhaozhou to propose.

Xie Zhaozhou was holding back mischief.
Seeing Ning Shixue’s moist eyes, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help lifting.

Not just Xie Zhaozhou, even the bullet comments could see what Ning Shixue was thinking.
They were exasperated.

[Babe, I’m begging you, play hard to get. I’ll kneel for you, okay? Covering mouth crying.jpg]

[Help, do you even need to be proposed to like this? You’ve already agreed before he even proposes. Sea otter collapses.jpg]

[Even as Brother Xie’s fan, I think he got his wife too easily. doge]

Ning Shixue wished Xie Zhaozhou would take him away right now and propose immediately.
But Xie Zhaozhou was shameless and annoying.
Holding the roses, he leaned against the wall with a lazy, mischievous air.
A deep smile was in his eyes as he looked at Ning Shixue with that annoying, suggestive gaze.

Xie Yaoyao’s little mouth puckered up again.
What was going on?
He had already brought the baby.
He thought Big Daddy would drive them out to play at night.

Ning Shixue’s fist hardened.
He picked up Xie Yaoyao and put him in the old butler’s arms.
Then he grabbed Xie Zhaozhou and left.

If this bastard didn’t propose to him tonight, he was dead!

[??????]

[Eloping right in front of me. Is this really reasonable? Everyone, stop!]

[Fine, fine. You won’t let me hear the proposal, right? I’ll cry for you to see. Wuwuwuwuwu.]

Xie Zhaozhou, holding the roses, chuckled softly.
He obediently followed Ning Shixue out.
It was a bit cold at night.
He raised his hand and pulled Ning Shixue’s scarf tighter.
Then he put his arm around him and walked out.

The night was deep.
It was still snowing.
Only the empty parking lot had lights on.

Ning Shixue stopped.
He turned to look at Xie Zhaozhou.
His gaze was so passionate.
Xie Zhaozhou’s heart skipped a beat.

He put the roses in Ning Shixue’s arms and held his hand.
His red lips curved.
His deep, dark eyes curved mischievously as he asked quietly,
“Do you want me to kneel?”

“…”
Ning Shixue started to get angry.
It wasn’t his proposal.
Why did he have to teach him?
His moist peach blossom eyes were full of anger.
He said stubbornly,
“You kneel.”

Xie Zhaozhou didn’t hesitate.
He knelt on one knee in the snow.

Ning Shixue panicked for a moment.
The snow was so cold.
As soon as Xie Zhaozhou knelt, he wanted to pull him up.

“I haven’t said anything yet,”
Xie Zhaozhou said, not moving.
He chuckled softly.
The ring in his palm was warmed.
He held Ning Shixue’s hand and put it on him.
“You haven’t agreed yet either.”

Ning Shixue was too embarrassed to look at him.
His face red, he stammered,
“Can I refuse you?”

“Will you marry me?”
Xie Zhaozhou asked, looking up at him.
For some reason, his Adam’s apple moved.
He continued,
“I’ll never leave you again in this lifetime.”

Ning Shixue was stunned for a moment.
When he looked down, his eyes were a bit red.
He touched the ring on his ring finger.

It was a diamond ring.
The band was also set with a few sparkling small diamonds.
Under the moonlight, they gave off a beautiful blue shimmer.

A bit childish for Xie Zhaozhou.
But for him, just right.

Xie Zhaozhou had been waiting with this ring for a long time.
After Ning Shixue’s surgery, when he finally woke up, he started thinking about proposing.

At the time, Ning Shixue’s head was dizzy.
He couldn’t understand what Xie Zhaozhou was asking.
He just wanted to snuggle in his arms.
Xie Zhaozhou, holding him with a laptop on his knee, would ask him which one he liked.

But the little alien was overwhelmed by choices.
He said,
“Brother, I like them all.”

At first, Xie Zhaozhou thought he meant he liked all the diamonds.
Even though you can only have one wedding ring, if Ning Shixue wanted them, he would buy them all for him to play with.
Only later did he understand.
Ning Shixue meant, if you give them to me, I’ll like them all.

Xie Zhaozhou handed him the other ring.
Ning Shixue held Xie Zhaozhou’s hand and put it on him.
But Xie Zhaozhou still hadn’t stood up.
He said,
“You haven’t agreed yet.”

“…Isn’t it enough that I agreed?”
Ning Shixue said, very annoyed.
But when he opened his mouth, his tone unconsciously softened.

Xie Zhaozhou finally stood up.
His eyes lowered, his lips curved as he said wistfully,
“Teacher Xiao Ning might not know, but it’s very hard for people in our line of work to get the top spot. It’s hard not to be insecure.”

Ning Shixue: “…”

Ning Shixue told himself to calm down.
He didn’t want to be widowed yet.
But before he could calm down, Xie Zhaozhou suddenly leaned closer, cupped his face, and kissed him fiercely.
The wet sounds of their lips and tongues were everywhere.
Ning Shixue’s legs went weak.
His tongue was burned hot from the sucking.

Xie Zhaozhou bit his lip.
His eyes were dark as he looked at him.
He said regretfully,
“We should have done it tonight.”

Ning Shixue’s body was much better.
But the doctor had advised against excessive indulgence.
Twice a week at most.
Last night, he had gone too far.
They couldn’t do anything for the next half month.

The tips of Ning Shixue’s ears suddenly reddened.
He complained,
“My stomach is still really sore.”

“Is it?”
Xie Zhaozhou said quietly.
His fingertip pressed against his lower abdomen, measuring.
Under the night sky, his voice was low and suggestive.
“Where does it hurt? From here to here?”

“My whole stomach hurts,”
Ning Shixue said, not understanding the innuendo.
He was still seriously complaining.

Then, looking up and meeting Xie Zhaozhou’s knowing smile, he suddenly realized.
His face flushed bright red.

Xie Zhaozhou, like a gentle wolf in sheep’s clothing, held him and asked,
“Why aren’t you talking anymore?”

Ning Shixue was so embarrassed he could cry.
How could there be such a pervert?
Xie Zhaozhou’s lips brushed against his hair.
He kept pressing him in his ear.
His whole body burned.
He closed his eyes, took Xie Zhaozhou’s hand, and placed it on a certain spot on his lower abdomen.

Xie Zhaozhou knew when to stop.
He didn’t dare tease him too much.
Holding Ning Shixue, he walked towards the car and asked him if he wanted to plan the wedding together, or if he wanted a surprise.

Ning Shixue wanted everything.
But he felt that was too greedy.
He decided to let Xie Zhaozhou prepare it.

But he never expected Xie Zhaozhou to keep it a complete secret.
No matter how he begged, Xie Zhaozhou wouldn’t tell him.

He pestered Xie Zhaozhou for over half a month.
Whatever Xie Zhaozhou wanted him to do, he obediently agreed.
Whatever flirtatious words he said, he accepted.
In bed, he even obediently called him ‘brother.’
He could even call him ‘husband.’
But Xie Zhaozhou still wouldn’t tell him.

Ning Shixue was tortured, dying of curiosity.
Luckily, he had to start filming again.
He could distract himself a little.

On the day of the Last Night’s Star premiere, it was universally acclaimed.
It was hard to look directly at Ning Shixue’s tearful eyes again.

During the promotional tour, Ning Shixue held that little teddy bear in his arms.
Almost everyone in the audience instantly shed tears.

This kind of movie adapted from real events was very hard to film.
It was also very hard to find the right actor.
But it seemed no one was more suitable to play this role than Ning Shixue.
Looking into his eyes was like seeing the boundless, gentle moonlight, ice and snow melting.

[Help, no one told me going to see this movie would make me cry to death. Wuwuwuwuwu.]

[Thanks. I can’t see Ning Shixue and the little bear together anymore without my tears becoming worthless.]

Scripts came pouring in for Ning Shixue.
And the quality was much higher than before.

This time, he took a lead role in a suspense movie called Trapped Beasts Still Fight.
It was adapted from an infinite flow novel.
The opening instance was on a cruise ship.
Ning Shixue could practically play himself.

He still remembered the feeling of being covered in blood.
He remembered the endless nights and every monster he had seen.
It was a very deep loneliness.
Unless you had seen it yourself, you couldn’t truly understand.

But Ning Shixue never planned to tell anyone in this lifetime.
Not even Xie Zhaozhou.

He wasn’t lonely anymore.
He didn’t feel pain either.
Every step he took forward, every injury he suffered, every drop of blood he shed, brought him closer to the person he most wanted to see.

He loved that person more than anything in the world.
No one could compare.

Sometimes, looking into Xie Zhaozhou’s eyes, he really wanted him to remember.
But it wasn’t to make him know his past pain.
It was just to make him remember him.

Remember that they had met.
Even in another world, he was the most important person to him.

When Ning Shixue left Yan City to film, Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King started crying again.

He was so worried.
Would the baby get hungry on set?
Would he get cold?
Would he be bored with no one to play with?

But kindergarten had started again.
He couldn’t go find the baby.
He told Big Daddy to close the kindergarten.
Big Daddy ignored him.
Why was it like this?

Xie Zhaozhou not only ignored him, he even complained about him to Ning Shixue on the phone that night.
“He wants me to close the kindergarten.”

Ning Shixue: “…”

Little antagonist, as expected of you.

The Yan City International Film Festival was held at the end of March.
It was the highest award for domestic films.
All the big stars were there.
Before Xie Zhaozhou retired, he had won a Lifetime Achievement Award at this festival.

Last Night’s Star was nominated for over a dozen awards.
Xie Zhaozhou went to the festival with Ning Shixue that day.

He Lin had saved him a seat in the production’s section.

At 8 PM, the awards ceremony officially began.

Xie Yaoyao was dying to see the baby.
He was a little actor in this movie.
Tonight, he finally got to see him.

Ning Shixue was actually a very reserved person.
No matter how loud the voice inside him, his eyes remained silent.

But Xie Yaoyao told him ‘I miss you’ every night.
Xie Zhaozhou told him ‘I love you’ every time he saw him.
Now, it didn’t seem so hard to say.

Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King got a kiss.
He snuggled next to the baby in his seat.
Big Daddy brought the baby roses again.
The baby gave him the petals that fell off.

Ning Shixue was a bit nervous at first.
But now his whole body slowly relaxed.
He secretly held Xie Zhaozhou’s hand.
Xie Zhaozhou hooked his fingers and held them in his palm.

He thought no one would notice.
But it was already caught on camera and live-streamed.

[I just want to know, Ningning wasn’t even looking at President Xie, how did his hand so accurately stick to him???]

[@Civil Affairs Bureau, can you do something? You still haven’t given me a clingy wife like this. Crying.jpg]

[Why isn’t Ningning nervous? I’m starting to get nervous. My palms are sweating. If he doesn’t win, I’ll cry.]

Last Night’s Star took the lead, winning Best Music.
Wen Yan went up to accept the award.
As soon as she stood on stage, her eyes reddened.
The host handed her the trophy and microphone.

In the end, besides thanking the entire production team, directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff, she only said one thing through tears,
“I know you can hear my voice.”

He Lin didn’t win Best Director this time.
He had been to many domestic and international awards ceremonies.
He was still very calm now.
Besides, the meaning of this movie was more than just awards.

Best Actor was always the final award.
What first appeared on the big screen was Wen Yu’s little bear.
The whole audience couldn’t help laughing.
Then came thunderous applause.

The camera moved up from the bear.
Then it showed Wen Yu’s pale face, and those red-rimmed but smiling eyes.

The corner of Xie Zhaozhou’s mouth lifted.
He let go of Ning Shixue’s hand and gently pushed him from behind, telling him to go accept the award.

But as he pushed Ning Shixue, he was stunned for a moment.
He looked down at his palm.

The whole hall gradually darkened.
Only the area around Ning Shixue was lit.
Light flowed from his feet, inch by inch.
It was like all the stars in the universe were lighting up one by one.

It was an impressive sight.

But Xie Zhaozhou seemed to hear a voice in his ear asking him,
“Brother, can I stay here with you?”

“It doesn’t matter if there are no stars here.”

“Don’t leave me alone again.”

On stage, Ning Shixue started to get nervous again.
Xie Zhaozhou heard his voice trembling.
So he got up and went to the bottom of the steps to wait for him.
The moment the lights went dark again, he threw himself into Xie Zhaozhou’s arms.

Then he was held tightly.

Xie Zhaozhou hugged him very tightly.
He lowered his head and kissed the top of his head.
His voice was especially low and hoarse as he praised him, like a kindergarten teacher praising a kid,
“So formidable.”

Ning Shixue’s face was bright red.
But his eyes sparkled as he looked at him.
Because Xie Zhaozhou was praising him for winning the award.

The awards ceremony ended after 10 PM.
He Lin threw a party for the production.
At the party, He Lin asked him,
“Xiao Ning, you’ve wrapped your other movie, right? Want to go to the northern city?”

All the guests from the parenting show would go.
The director would also go.
He said he wanted to film a special episode.

Ning Shixue’s health was much better.
He wasn’t as afraid of the cold now.
He thought about it and agreed.
But Xie Zhaozhou had company business and couldn’t go with him.
Ning Shixue felt a little disappointed.

But Old Master Xie was finally getting stronger and could take over more things.
Xie Zhaozhou could now come home on time almost every night.
Ning Shixue thought he had been clingy enough.
He needed to be apart a little.
Otherwise, his bottom couldn’t take it.

He didn’t really care about the wedding anymore.
Even without a wedding, they were still together.

Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King started packing that night.
He puffed as he dragged out his little suitcase.
His soft, white profile puffed up like a little bun.
“I not gonna, lose face.”

The kid held a grudge.

After the premiere ended and the proposal almost failed, Big Daddy said he always dropped the ball.

Ning Shixue: “…”

Ning Shixue was confused.
Maybe the great antagonist Xie Yaoyao was setting sail tonight to fight little monsters.
He didn’t think much of it.
As long as he remembered to come back and eat with him, it was fine.

They left three days later.
The snow in Yan City had melted.
But in the northern city, it was still covered in snow all year round.

Mu Yuan and Mu Na came to pick them up with a horse-drawn sleigh.

The director had rented a villa at the ski resort.
He was taking them there to play.
Mu Yuan and his sister, and Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu would also come.
Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu should already be there.

When Ning Shixue got out of the car, he saw that Qin Zhou and Qin Naonao hadn’t come.
But Ji Xiao’s aunt and uncle had brought Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao was bundled into a little ball, waving to him in the snow.

“You came too?”
Ning Shixue was stunned for a moment.

He felt something was off.
Why did this mean director suddenly have a kind heart?
He even rented a villa for them to play in.
And if they were continuing the show, why invite Ji Xiao?

Not that Ji Xiao couldn’t come.
But this show had always invited celebrities.
Ji Xiao’s current parents were ordinary people.

Ning Shixue didn’t dwell on it.
He was probably just being overly suspicious.
Anyway, so many people were here.
It wasn’t like he was going to get sold.

When Xie Yaoyao saw Little Mantou, he excitedly grabbed Ji Xiao and said,
“There really are aliens!”

His baby was an alien.

In his dreams, he took the Sea God little brother and Little Mantou to conquer outer space.
Jiang Yu and Ji Xiao had no idea.
He had never told them.
But Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King thought they had been there.
How could they not know?

“I know,”
Ji Xiao said.
“Little Ning Brother is an alien.”

He had remembered the words Ning Shixue wrote on the show.
Then he asked his dad to help him check.
They found out it wasn’t any language in this world.
So Ning Shixue must be an alien.

[Sniff, Little Mantou, long time no see.]

[Dying of laughter. Auntie knew you were still the ‘Little Geniuses’ group. One dares to say it, one dares to believe it.]

[What’s wrong with that! Why can’t wifey be an alien! Actually, I met wifey in outer space! doge]

The director clapped his hands.
“Teachers, let’s play a game of charades!”

Ning Shixue had already lain down.
Wrapped in a blanket, he resolutely slacked off.
They weren’t paying him for this.
Why should he work hard?
Even if they paid him, he would choose to refuse.

This villa was very large.
The living room even had a fireplace.
Ning Shixue curled up on the sofa by the fireplace and played games.

[As expected of you, salted fish.]

[Good, good. Your husband isn’t here, so you slack off, right? You’ll regret it.]

The director didn’t seem very serious either.
When he left, he didn’t bother with him anymore.
The guests were all busy, doing who knows what.
Even Xie Yaoyao and the others were very busy.

But Ning Shixue didn’t care.
No one could make him stand up.

Not until evening, when it was completely dark, did He Lin suddenly walk over and say to him,
“Xiao Ning, is there anything you want to eat? I’ll drive you and Xie Yaoyao and the others out to buy some now?”

“I’ll just eat dinner later,”
Ning Shixue said, confused, shaking his head.

Xie Zhaozhou wasn’t here.
But Grandpa He was.
He promised to grill him lamb chops.
He was too lazy to go out.
Nothing was good enough to eat.

A few minutes later, He Miao and Ji Xiao also ran over, carrying his down jacket and scarf.
Tang Haohao hugged his leg and said,
“Little Ning Brother, let’s go build a snowman.”

“It’s so late,”
Ning Shixue said, slowly slumping down.
“It’s really cold. Let’s go tomorrow.”

Ning Shixue was completely confused.
Why did these people all want him to go out?
He just wouldn’t go.

Tang He-an couldn’t help it anymore.
“Xiao Ning, can’t you just stand up…”

Before he could finish, Yan Ting raised his arm and gently bumped him.
Tang He-an had to shut up.

“I think I saw a meteor,”
Yan Ting said from the terrace, looking at Ning Shixue.

But unfortunately, Ning Shixue was scrolling through Weibo at the time.
If there was a meteor anywhere, it would definitely be on the trending search.
He didn’t see any such trending search.

Ning Shixue didn’t believe in spreading rumors.
“Professor Yan, you must be mistaken.”

Yan Ting: “…”

Yan Ting covered his face, unable to bear it.

[Babe, you’re so stubborn.]

[President Xie has been waiting in the snow for over half an hour, right? Does Ningning still not know tonight is his wedding?]

[Help, I can’t take it anymore. Over a hundred pounds of body weight, over two hundred pounds of rebellion. Crying.jpg]

In the end, the brave Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King stepped up.
He suddenly hugged Ning Shixue’s leg, knelt down with a thud, and tearfully begged Ning Shixue to take him out to play.

Ning Shixue had no choice but to get up.
But as soon as he walked outside, it looked like a meteor streaked across the night sky.
He looked up and realized it wasn’t meteors.
It was fireworks from the ski resort.

The Milky Way seemed to invert.
Stars streamed down.

Ning Shixue was wearing that white down jacket.
He vaguely sensed something.
He watched, unable to look away.
Fireworks whooshed into the sky, gathered in an instant into the shape of a star.

And like some kind of language not from this planet.

[I think it looks familiar. Like the word Ningning wrote on the back of President Xie’s hand on the show.]

[But it’s also a bit different.]

[Dammit, this must be some secret code between the couple. Probably means ‘I love you’ or something.]

The night was deep.
That star was still so bright.
It seemed to come from the distant depths of the stars.
It was the name of his planet.

Ning Shixue had thought he would never see it again in his life.

His phone suddenly beeped.
He picked it up.
It was a message from Xie Zhaozhou.

– [. : I didn’t lie to you, did I? There are a lot of stars out here.]

Ning Shixue was stunned.
He suddenly looked up.

The lights on the snowy mountain reflected brightly.
Xie Zhaozhou, holding a bouquet of roses, walked towards him through the night.
Like the first night they met on the show.
And like from a much more distant place.

Ning Shixue’s legs suddenly lost strength.
Xie Zhaozhou stepped through the snow, walking towards him step by step.

“Second Brother, why are you here?”
Ning Shixue asked, sniffing quietly, his eyes red.

Xie Zhaozhou held the hand he had once let go.
His eyes reflected only him.
His lips curved as he said,
“To pick you up.”

Under the snowy night, the little lights suddenly lit up.
Like shaking down the stars from the sky.
The scent of roses filled the air.
