21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 178 Proposal (1 more)

"Hiromi, will you marry me?" Chen Yu looked at Jounouchi Hiromi and asked a question that had nothing to do with what she was talking about.

"Eh?" The question from Chen Yu caught Jounouchi Hiromi off guard, shattering her resolve and leaving her flustered, "Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? What does your belief in me have to do with whether I am willing to marry you? If I don't want to marry you, does that mean you can't trust me?"

Jounouchi Hiromi's retort left Chen Yu silent for a moment. He pursed his lips as he looked at her, his eyes filled with hesitation and indecision, but the gaze of his girlfriend, wounded yet still fixed on him, eventually forced him to make a decision, "Hiromi, do you really want to know my secret?

There are some secrets I can only share with the person who is willing to spend a lifetime with me, forever. And once you know my secret, you can never leave me, not even death can separate us."

"What you're saying..." Initially, Jounouchi Hiromi thought Chen Yu was just brushing her off with such words, but as she looked into his eyes, she understood that Chen Yu was serious; he was not joking.

This realization forced Jounouchi Hiromi to reconsider the decision she had made.

Should she choose to know Chen Yu's secret and be inseparable from him thereafter, even to the extent that not even death, as he said, could part them? Or should she back off now, maintain the status quo but add a crack to their relationship? Or should she choose to break up and cut off all ties with him?

The plethora of choices overwhelmed Jounouchi Hiromi, making it even harder to decide than when she confronted Chen Yu with her question. She was unsure if she should keep pressing for an answer...

But she was certainly not a quitter, especially since the only thing separating her relationship with Chen Yu from an actual marriage was a ceremony and a marriage certificate.

However, she obviously wasn't going to let Chen Yu off the hook that easily. So after taking a deep breath, Jounouchi Hiromi looked at Chen Yu seriously, revealed a wry smile, and then said with a plaintive tone, "Really, you! Even if you want me to marry you, the least you could do is a proper proposal, right? Who makes someone make a choice like this?"

The sudden loss of her boyfriend's figure, the joy and happiness of being proposed to by her boyfriend just moments ago, followed by watching him blend into the air and disappear from in front of her—the blow was almost too much for Jounouchi Hiromi to bear. She sat down on the ground, completely at a loss.

"Don't joke like this, come out quickly!" Jounouchi Hiromi cried out somewhat fearfully. She was really afraid that Chen Yu would completely disappear. If it wasn't for the last thing Chen Yu had told her, which was to wait a moment, she might have already collapsed under the shock.

"Come out quickly! I don't want to know your secret anymore, just come out!" Jounouchi Hiromi looked up and shouted loudly in the direction where Chen Yu had disappeared, as the fear and worry in her heart turned increasingly to despair. She didn't know why this was happening, but the fact that her boyfriend who had just proposed to her vanished right before her eyes was indisputable.

Just as Jounouchi Hiromi's despair was about to spiral into a breakdown, Chen Yu's figure reappeared on the rooftop, only this time with a bunch of flowers in his hand that seemed to have been freshly picked, a bunch of deeply black roses.

"Hiromi? What happened to you?" Chen Yu was about to give the flowers to his girlfriend but saw her sitting on the ground crying. He quickly went over to her and helped her up: "What's wrong, Hiromi? Why are you crying..."

"Slap!" A slap landed on Chen Yu's face, cutting off his unfinished words.

"Jerk!" Jounouchi Hiromi cursed and finally broke down in tears. Yet, her arms wrapped tightly around Chen Yu, burying her face in his chest and crying bitterly: "Why? Why did you disappear in front of me? I thought you were never coming back... Sob, sob! Where did you go?"

"Sorry, I...went to pick flowers for you," Chen Yu apologized and pulled Jounouchi Hiromi up from his chest, presenting the flowers he had just picked to her: "Didn't you say that without flowers and a ring, you couldn't accept my proposal? So I thought I'd pick a bunch of flowers for you."

Jounouchi Hiromi, not even bothering to wipe her tears, took the strangely colored black roses, sniffled, and then looked up at Chen Yu with tear-filled eyes, asking, "And the ring?"

"It's right here," Chen Yu said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a silver ring with a purple gemstone that sparkled brilliantly like a star.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
