He smiled softly, placing a light kiss on my palm.

Very quickly it's winter break. We all went home. I still don't dare tell my family about my relationship. There was a time when I was especially afraid that my father would discover my hotel room rental history. Then I researched online and learned that the police could not arbitrarily use the system. Only then did I feel secure. We only dare to go out on dates during the day. When it gets dark, we all go home. It seems like we're back to the time we fell in love online during summer vacation. It's just that the conversation content is now deeper than before. After being with you, I always feel like time passes especially quickly. Every week we look forward to seeing each other, but when we meet, we can't bear to say goodbye. Every time he took me to the school gate, he had to hug me for a long time before letting go. Just like that, we went through a complete cycle of spring, summer, fall, and winter together. In the blink of an eye, it's third year of university. It always rained heavily that weekend, so we didn't go out on a date. I carried an umbrella back from the cafeteria, stepping through puddles on the way to the dormitory. As I passed by the lecture hall building, I saw a familiar figure. Co Dao. She stood in front of the lecture hall, without an umbrella. Seeing me, her eyes immediately lit up. I walked towards her. She smiled at me, a very sincere smile.

“Classmate, don't you bring an umbrella?”

I asked. She nodded vigorously. Just as I was about to open my mouth to say something, I withdrew my gaze, turned in another direction, and went straight.

“So that's really pathetic.”

Her angry scream came from behind:

“Luc Nhan!”

In the midst of heavy rain, the voice was torn into pieces by the sound of the rain.

With Tan Vu Minh's achievements, after graduating, he will definitely continue to study further. But in the fourth year, I had to start preparing for internship. I don't want time to pass so quickly. I'm afraid your family will arrange for you to go abroad. I'm afraid that in the end we will still have to break up because our family circumstances are not compatible. Actually, recently, I have felt that you are busier than before. The speed of replying to messages is also not as fast as before. Even though I understand, I'm still sad inside. Suddenly he called me in a very formal tone. His voice was extremely calm, as if he had thought through something carefully.

"Nhan Nhan, do you have time? Let's go out and talk."

“Okay.”

On the way, I prepared myself mentally. If you have any plans, I will absolutely not hinder your future. After all, we've been together for almost four years. That's worth it. We met at a hot pot restaurant for the first time to eat together. Remembering the embarrassing scene when I met Co Dao and those others, I couldn't help but laugh. He still came before me. The table is full of dishes I like to eat. The hot pot of red oil was boiling, hot steam continuously rising to my face. I sat down, ate slowly, waiting for him to speak.

“Nhan Nhan, I have something to tell you.”

His tone was more serious than usual, carrying an overly calm and dignified look. My heart sank, my chopsticks slowed down.

“You say it.”

He reached into the inside pocket of his jacket, took out a small dark blue box, and pushed it in front of me. Open it, there's one inside The ring has a diamond that is both large and bright. I was stunned.

"Tan Vu Minh... I'm still in school."

“We have long passed the legal age of marriage.”

I lowered my eyes, still uncertain. Poor guy said:

“What if I finish school, meet a better man and then don't need you anymore?”

After speaking, he stood up, walked around the table, and knelt on one knee in front of me. The person at the next table let out a voice:

“Oh!”
