The final chapter of the graduation ceremony is like a farewell in spring, not only taking away the years of the school year, but also leaving a deep mark on everyone's mood. The enthusiastic applause of the graduation ceremony gradually echoed in their ears, and Lin Mengmeng and Jiang Hanting walked to the quiet lakeside next to the college. The spring breeze gently brushed the water surface, causing ripples to appear on the lake. They walked hand in hand by the lake, surrounded by newly green leaves and blooming flowers. The natural beauty seemed to bless their future.
As they walked along the path by the lake, the two of them had unusually light steps, as if they were walking on clouds. Lin Mengmeng looked at Jiang Hanting and her eyes were filled with complex emotions. She said softly, "Hanting, your speech at the graduation ceremony was really great. I could feel that every word of yours came from the heart."
Jiang Hanting glanced at her, his lips slightly upturned, revealing a relaxed smile with a hint of tenderness amidst his usual sternness. " Mengmeng, I'm just expressing the feelings of each of us, including you. At least on the road ahead, no matter how difficult, we won't let go of each other's hands. You just need to believe in yourself, and in me too."
Lin Mengmeng nodded, understanding the sincere and touching words of Jiang Hanting, and deeply aware of the responsibility and determination behind this commitment. However, her heart was still filled with unease and worry, as graduation meant they were about to embark on different life paths.
" Hanting, I..." Lin Mengmeng started to speak but stopped, with too many words in her heart that she wanted to express, but didn't know where to start.
Jiang Hanting stopped in his tracks, turned to face her, and his eyes revealed deep affection. " Mengmeng, whatever you're worried about, tell me. There shouldn't be any barriers between us."
Lin Mengmeng looked up at him, took a deep breath, and finally gathered the courage to express her true feelings. "I'm just afraid that after graduation, we will gradually drift apart for various reasons. I'm afraid of losing you..."
Jiang Hanting furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, but soon his expression softened. He gently took Lin Mengmeng's hand and pulled her into a tight embrace. " Mengmeng, I have never thought of leaving you. No matter what, you are the most important person in my life. Today, I want to make a promise to you."
Speaking, Jiang Hanting took out an exquisite little box from his pocket, and upon opening it, revealed a simple yet elegant ring. His movements were graceful and firm, as if he had planned this moment countless times in his heart. "Lin Mengmeng, when you graduate, no matter where I am, I will come back to find you. We will get married and spend our lives together. This is not only my promise, but also my deep love for you."
Lin Mengmeng was surprised, then moved, as she looked at the young man in front of her, who was always known for his calm and rational demeanor, preparing such a promise and surprise for her. Tears welled up in her eyes once again, but this time, they were tears of happiness.
Jiang Hanting Gently slipped the ring onto her ring finger, tenderly wiped away the tears on her cheek, and softly said, "My fiancée, I love you."
Lin Mengmeng Looked up at him, her eyes full of love. "I love you too, Hanting, I am willing to spend my life with you."
The gentle breeze blows by the lakeside, and the lingering sunset casts their shadows long. Their figures intertwine on the lake's surface, as if foreshadowing their closely connected future. At this moment, two hearts are tightly bound by this promise, and no matter how rough the road ahead may be, they will face every storm in life together, never to part.
The newly engaged couple continues their walk by the lake. Jiang Hanting gazes at the lake, his brow slightly furrowed, seemingly lost in thought. Lin Mengmeng turns to look at him and softly asks, "Hanting, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Hanting turned his head and gave her a cold, stern look, then suddenly flashed a smile. "I'm thinking about how we should plan our future. Mengmeng, are you willing to fight alongside me?"
Lin Mengmeng was momentarily stunned, then her eyes filled with determination. "Of course, I am willing. As long as I'm with you, I won't be afraid of anything."
Jiang Hanting Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but quickly returned to his usual calmness: "That's good. I hope you remember what you said today, after all, the future days may not all be smooth sailing."
Lin Mengmeng Gently patting his hand, she smiled and said, "I know. But I believe that as long as we are together, there is no obstacle we can't overcome."
The gentle breeze by the lake not only did not take away the warmth of the sunset, but seemed to make the mood of the two even more cozy. Jiang Hanting and Lin Mengmeng continued to walk slowly along the path. Although the two had already made a lifelong commitment, the atmosphere at this moment was unexpectedly relaxed.
Jiang Hanting suddenly stopped, turned to Lin Mengmeng, and said seriously, " Mengmeng, have you ever thought about how to decorate our home after we get married?"
Lin Mengmeng She was slightly stunned for a moment, as the question clearly caught her off guard. But soon her eyes lit up. "I hope to have a large study at home, with walls full of bookshelves, and a big window facing the courtyard, so that sunlight can come in directly."
Jiang Hanting After hearing this, he unexpectedly chuckled lightly. "I knew you would say that. Alright, you can have your study. But what about me? Where will I put my weapons and training equipment?"
Lin Mengmeng thought for a moment and mischievously replied, "How about we consider designing our bedroom as half study and half armory? This way, you can practice martial arts while watching me read."
This time, Jiang Hanting was stunned, then burst into laughter. "That's a good idea, but I'm worried that my martial arts practice at night might disturb you."
"Then let's agree that no one is allowed to practice martial arts after 9 pm, okay?" Lin Mengmeng proposed a compromise, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
Jiang Hanting pretended to consider, then nodded. "Deal, but in that case, you also have to promise me to practice martial arts with me for at least one hour every day."
"This... well, but you're not allowed to laugh at my clumsiness," Lin Mengmeng reluctantly agreed.
The two of them talked about the details of their future life, from home renovations to daily routines, every little detail made them feel unprecedentedly happy. Their conversation, though simple, was filled with the breath of life and deep emotions between them.
Lin Mengmeng and Jiang Hanting sat on an old wooden chair by the lake, surrounded by the gentle ripples of the spring lake and the verdant shadows of leaves. At this moment, their world seemed to only have each other.
"I think we should hang the landscape painting I made in our living room, what do you think?" Lin Mengmeng suggested somewhat shyly, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the chair.
Jiang Hanting He turned his head to look at her, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "That painting is indeed nice, but I prefer your flower and bird painting. Every time I see it, it brightens my mood."
Lin Mengmeng She looked up in surprise, then chuckled, "Why do I feel like you're subtly asking to hang up your favorite painting?"
"Clever? I could just say it directly. I want our home to be filled with your presence everywhere." Jiang Hanting inadvertently revealed his affection.
Lin Mengmeng's cheeks turned slightly red, she lowered her head and bit her lip. "Then... what about our kitchen? Haven't you been complaining that my cooking is too bland?"
"Ha, that's because your cooking skills still need improvement," Jiang Hanting chuckled, reaching out to gently play with her hair. "But, it's also one of the pleasures of our life, isn't it? I'll teach you how to cook."
"You'll teach me?" Lin Mengmeng looked up in surprise. "Aren't you only good at making a few signature dishes?"
"Hmph, just wait and see, I will come up with more signature dishes to amaze you," Jiang Hanting raised an eyebrow and said confidently.
The two looked at each other and smiled, their laughter echoing in the spring sunset.
"By the way, should we get a pet? Like a cat or a dog?" Lin Mengmeng suddenly thought, with excitement in her eyes.
Jiang Hanting pretended to consider for a moment, then said seriously, "Isn't having you enough? Why do we need other pets?"
Lin Mengmeng was teased and couldn't help but laugh. She lightly tapped Jiang Hanting and said, "You're so sarcastic." But her eyes were filled with happiness.
"But honestly, having you is enough. We can take our time with everything else," Jiang Hanting said softly as he reached out and gently held Lin Mengmeng's hand.
The two of them talked about their future life in great detail, from the layout of their home to the little joys of everyday life. Their conversation was not adorned with fancy words, but it was full of anticipation for their future life.
As the sky gradually darkened and the wind on the lake became cooler, Jiang Hanting noticed that Lin Mengmeng was shivering, so he took off his own coat and gently draped it over her shoulders, saying softly, "Don't catch a cold, let's go back."
Lin Mengmeng felt the warmth from Jiang Hanting and her heart was filled with sweetness and peace. She gently leaned on his shoulder and softly said, "Thank you, Hanting."
The two walked back to the academy side by side. Along the way, Lin Mengmeng suddenly said, " Hanting, the joke I just made, I actually have a small dream too. I hope our home can have a small garden, filled with my favorite lavender."
Jiang Hanting looked at her gently, "Mengmeng, this is not just a little dream, it's our dream. No matter what, we will make it come true."
The night was deep, but for this engaged couple, their hearts were full of infinite longing for life, and their love for each other was deep and intense. By the tranquil lake, their love story was quietly continuing to be written.
