Chapter 434: Day 39 into the Mary Sue Story (Complete)

Chapter 434: The Thirty-Ninth Day of Being Thrown into a Mary Sue Story (End)

But Lu Lu clearly wasn't going to give him the chance.

Lu Lu straightened up and suddenly declared in an extremely serious, loud voice: "An An! I love you! I love you so much! More than I love myself! You're the most gorgeous person I've ever seen! The smartest! The gentlest! You're my star! My moon! My sun! My air! I can't live without you! An An! I love you so much my heart feels like it's about to explode!"

A barrage of the sappiest, most bluntly direct confessions burst out of Lu Lu's mouth in rapid succession.

Both families: "..."

An Yi felt both amused and a headache coming on.

But Lu Lu wasn't finished yet.

Just as An Yi was about to reach out and pull him, Lu Lu suddenly seemed to remember something extremely important, and his expression became dead serious.

He took a big step back, but because he was drunk and unsteady, he stumbled and nearly fell, just barely grabbing onto the back of An Yi's chair for support.

Then, in front of everyone, he began frantically fumbling through his pants pockets.

He felt around left, then right, and finally pulled out a small box!

An Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Lu Lu opened the box to reveal a ring!

"An An!" Lu Lu practically dropped to one knee as he lunged in front of An Yi, holding up the ring and shouting: "Marry me! No, wait—let's get married! I want to marry you so, so badly! I want to wake up next to you every morning! I want to be with you every single day! I want us to be a family! An An! Please! Marry me! I love you! I want to marry you!"

An Yi: "..."

Before he could even answer, Lu Lu was already grabbing his hand, trying to shove the ring onto his finger!

An Yi clenched his fist. "I haven't said yes yet!"

Lu Lu burst into tears.

An Yi: "..."

Who was he? Where was he? What was he doing?

How had things escalated to this point? Weren't they just having a harmonious family dinner? Why had it suddenly turned into a drunken, spur-of-the-moment proposal?

"You..." An Yi took a deep breath, trying to find his voice. He looked at Lu Lu, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Are you out of your mind? Stop crying!"

He looked at the tears streaming down Lu Lu's face and found it a bit hard to look at.

"Wahhh~" Being scolded only made Lu Lu cry even harder. His hand trembled as he held the ring box, his eyes watery, his voice choked with sobs: "An An... just say yes! I want to marry you! I love you so much!"

The whole dining room went silent.

The An family had no idea how to react anymore.

The Lu family wished they could all just disappear.

An Yi looked at Lu Lu's "say yes or I'll cry myself to death" attitude, then glanced at the circle of stunned elders and family members around him, and a vein pulsed in his temple.

He closed his eyes, then opened them and reluctantly held out his hand to Lu Lu. "The ring."

Lu Lu stopped crying abruptly.

He broke into a smile through his tears, beaming like an idiot, and quickly slipped the ring onto An Yi's ring finger.

The moment the ring was on, Lu Lu acted like he'd just accomplished the most important mission of his life. He suddenly wrapped his arms around An Yi's waist, buried his tear-stained, alcohol-scented face into his chest, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Husband!"

An Yi: "..."

His body froze again, feeling the weight and warmth of the big clingy lump in his arms, the ring on his finger, impossible to ignore, and the earth-shattering "husband" still echoing in the dining room.

He thought he might need a drink himself to deal with all these complicated feelings right now.

Both families: "..."

This time, even An's big brother couldn't help but raise a hand to his forehead.

Lu's big sister had already turned around, unable to watch any longer.

Second Brother Lu buried his head in his arms—his little brother was too embarrassing.

Lu's parents' expressions were a spectacular mix of awkwardness, amusement, and secondhand embarrassment at their son's foolishness.

In the end, it was Lu's father who reacted first. He suddenly stood up and let out a hearty laugh. "Haha! Haha! Great! Wonderful news! This is wonderful news!"

He clapped his hands vigorously, walked over to An Yi and Lu Lu, looked at the shiny ring on An Yi's finger, then at his son's "could die happy" silly expression, and quickly seized the moment, speaking to An's father and mother, whose expressions were somewhat complicated:

"Old An, sister-in-law, look at how much these two kids love each other. Xiao Lu may have been... ahem, a bit rash, but his feelings are a hundred percent genuine! The ring's already on, so why don't we just make this official between our families? It'll make the kids happy, and we as parents can rest easy too!"

He spoke quickly and urgently, with great enthusiasm, but his eyes betrayed a hint of nervousness—afraid that the An family might back out because of Lu Lu's drunken spectacle tonight, thinking he was unreliable.

They had to lock in the commitment immediately! Otherwise, given how obsessed Lu Lu was with An Yi, if An Yi changed his mind, wouldn't his son go crazy?!

An's father and mother exchanged a glance, then looked at their own son.

An Yi's face showed resignation, but he didn't immediately take off the ring or push Lu Lu away. He just let Lu Lu hold him, looking like he'd been amused into exasperation.

An's mother sighed inwardly, but also found it a little funny.

She knew her son—he wasn't someone who could be coerced. The fact that he wasn't objecting now at least meant he had real feelings for Lu Lu, perhaps even more indulgent than they'd imagined.

An's father pondered for a moment, glanced at An's big brother, who also looked complicated, then at Lu's father's eager eyes and Lu's mother's apologetic yet hopeful expression. Finally, he let out a hearty laugh and raised his glass: "Old Lu is right! The kids are in love—that's a wonderful thing! Our families were already close, and now we're even closer! Come, this toast is to seal the engagement for our children! May their future be harmonious and supportive of each other!"

"Good! Good! It's settled! Settled!" Lu's father was overjoyed and quickly raised his glass too, downing it in one gulp, as if afraid the An family might change their minds.

Lu's big sister and Second Brother Lu could only force smiles and raise their glasses in acknowledgment toward the An family.

Lu's big sister was still internally tearing into her brother for being embarrassing, while Second Brother Lu thought: Well, at least it's settled. An Yi probably... won't easily return him, right? Hopefully.

And the one who'd been proposed to, An Yi, was tightly held by the drunk but ecstatic Lu Lu, who was overjoyed at his "successful proposal." He listened to the two families' elders happily settle their engagement, feeling the cold touch of the sudden ring on his finger.

His only thought was:

What a headache.
