Chapter 190 Proposal Successful
Bai Nini lowered her head shyly, biting her delicate lower lip gently, her heart pounding like a deer. After a fierce ideological struggle, she finally mustered the courage to nod slightly in agreement.
Seeing Bai Nini nod in agreement, Qin Nuo's hands began to tremble uncontrollably with excitement. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart, and then slowly opened the exquisite brocade box in his hand. Inside, he saw a crystal-clear, smooth, jade-like family heirloom bracelet, gleaming charmingly under the light.
Qin Nuo carefully removed the jade bracelet from the brocade box, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure. He gently grasped Bai Nini's slender wrist and slowly slipped the bracelet onto it. The moment the bracelet touched Bai Nini's skin, it was as if time had stopped.
After putting on the bracelet, Qin Nuo couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! This bracelet was made for you." His eyes never left Bai Nini, his eyes full of affection and doting.
At this moment, Bai Nini was happily stroking the bracelet on her wrist, feeling the deep love from Qin Nuo. Seeing this, the surrounding villagers applauded and cheered, sending their most sincere blessings to the lovers.
Alice curled her lips slightly, with a look of dissatisfaction and helplessness on her face, and muttered: "Oh, really! Here it comes again! They are showing off their affection so unscrupulously on the first day of the new year!" Her eyes fell on the sweet couple, and a little jealousy surged in her heart.
Meanwhile, Luo Shuya, standing nearby, was already filled with tears of joy. She looked at the two embracing in the snow. This was a precious gift, passed down from generation to generation in the Qin family to their daughters-in-law! She had always worried about this, fearing the bracelet wouldn't be passed down smoothly. But now, looking at Qin Nuo and his beautiful fiancée beside him, Luo Shuya's heart finally settled.
Elsewhere, Mo Yu stood quietly in the corner, his face expressionless, but his heart felt desolate. He had never imagined that Bai Nini, the woman who had so captivated him, would become Qin Nuo's fiancée! This fact hit him like a hammer, leaving him feeling incredibly lost and miserable.
At the same time, Qian Yi silently lowered his eyes, not letting others see the sadness and sorrow in his eyes. He tried hard to control his emotions, not wanting this heartache to affect the happy and peaceful atmosphere around him.
Just then, the crackling blast of New Year's firecrackers filled the sky, a deafening roar. Colorful fireworks burst into life, illuminating the entire night. Congratulations and blessings flowed from one person to another, and laughter filled the air. This lively New Year's Eve celebration concluded with joy and warmth.
The next morning, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, casting its warm rays upon the earth. The sky finally cleared. Bai Nini got up early, wearing an exquisite hunter's hat, revealing a pair of bright eyes from beneath the brim. She looked energetic and heroic.
She tiptoed to the door of her friends' room, knocked gently, and then shouted loudly: "Get up! Don't sleep in! Today I will take you to experience the joy of hunting!" This voice was like a thunder, instantly waking up the sleeping friends.
After a while, the door opened and the friends came out one by one, sleepy-eyed. Qin Nuo rubbed his eyes. When he saw Bai Nini dressed as a hunter, his eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Nini, what are we going to do? Why are you dressed like this?"
Bai Nini raised her chin proudly and replied with a smile: "Hey, today I'm going to take you hunting! How about it, are you excited?" As she spoke, she shook the bow and arrow in her hand.
Qin Nuo was immediately interested when he heard this and quickly asked, "Then what are we going to hunt?"
Bai Nini blinked and said playfully, "Of course it's wild boars and rabbits! These guys are very cunning, but as long as we work together, we will definitely return with a full load! By the way, does anyone among you know how to shoot arrows?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew and Alice raised their hands at the same time and said in unison: "We can! But... it's limited to target shooting. We have never tried hunting before!" The two smiled at each other, with both anticipation and a hint of nervousness on their faces.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, their eyes sparkling with eagerness, as if they were about to embark on an adventurous journey filled with excitement and the unknown. However, one figure in the crowd stood out from the crowd—that was Mo Yu. His brow furrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes, and hesitantly asked, "With just a few of us going deep into these mountains, will there really be any safety issues?"
Hearing this, Bai Nini couldn't help but burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that her body was shaking. She finally stopped laughing and said, "Oh my, Mo Yu, you are such a coward! Don't worry, nothing will happen! Today is a special day. Everyone in Yufeng Mountain will go hunting! Besides, it's winter now. Those ferocious and terrifying bears have already hibernated in their caves. How could they come out to cause trouble? So, our operation is definitely foolproof and safe!"
After hearing Bai Nini's words, everyone's initially uneasy hearts calmed down considerably. With that, the group followed Village Chief Lu into the mountains. This hunting trip was of great significance. It wasn't just to seek a good omen for the start of the new year, but more importantly, to completely eliminate the hidden dangers that had long threatened the village's peace.
In recent years, most of the village's young and middle-aged men have migrated to work, returning home only during festivals. On weekdays, these thick-skinned, scaly-tusked wild boars have taken advantage of this opportunity to frequently roam near the village, wantonly trampling crops and even occasionally attacking villagers' poultry and livestock, causing great panic and distress to the women, children, and the elderly. Therefore, everyone has resolved to work together to hunt down these despicable wild boars and restore peace and tranquility to the village.
Bai Nini shouted to everyone with a serious face, "Listen up, everyone! Don't get separated! We must follow the main group closely! You know, this is a vast mountain, and the roads are as complicated as a spider web. If you lose your way, there will be no one to help you! So, no matter what, don't leave the group. You must always stay alert and keep up with the main group!"
