Falling asleep was exactly what he wanted, so that when she woke up, she could see the surprise he had prepared for her.

He wondered how Xu Qiang's preparations were going. He hadn't had time to ask him about it that afternoon.

Hopefully, nothing would go wrong. He had mobilized so many people this time. Putting aside how much he had spent economically, although in reality, he hadn't spent much at all.

But he would remember this favor.

Every classmate who had the time had given him enough face, and those without important matters had come to show their support.

Regardless of their motives, he would appreciate those who came.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan shook his head. He now had a vague idea of how valuable his favors were.

Forget it, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event, so he should do it to the best of his ability.

He would slowly repay the favors. Besides, some people would never come to ask for this favor back in their lifetime.

Before Fang Yuan could finish thinking about these things, they arrived at their destination for the night.

This was a school setting used by a film crew. Fang Yuan had spent nearly a week transforming it into the appearance of Beihai No. 1 High School.

Why not go to Beihai No. 1 High School?

You'd have to ask Fang Yuan, the idiot, what he was thinking.

Well, that was Xu Qiang's answer, which satisfied most people's curiosity.

Anyway, Xu Qiang had been in charge of this matter for the past few days, and the venue was already prepared.

Fang Yuan had invested in this movie, with the only condition being that the school was set up like this.

As for the rest, Xu Qiang had prepared it. Fang Yuan had only told Xu Qiang about this three days before returning.

Fortunately, with Zhou Shengde's help, he wouldn't have had such great ability to arrange the venue and gather former classmates alone.

The two of them had worked together to barely complete this task.

It was just a bit of a pity that some classmates couldn't be contacted for some reason, and some were abroad and couldn't return.

However, this 'some' was only a very small portion, not even a tenth. Adding in some classmates who couldn't come due to family matters, there were still hundreds of people who came here.

Making the atmosphere here the same as it was in high school.

Fang Yuan parked the car and saw that Xiang Lingling showed no signs of waking up.

He gently opened the car door and went off to do something alone.

Five minutes later, possibly sensing that she was the only one left in the car, Xiang Lingling suddenly woke up.

"A Yuan, A Yuan! Where are you?" Xiang Lingling got out of the car and looked for Fang Yuan.

"Why does this place look so familiar?" Xiang Lingling didn't react for a moment, but instinctively headed towards the school gate.

When she reached the school gate, she instantly remembered.

"What's going on? How did I get back to Beihai? Am I dreaming?!" Xiang Lingling couldn't believe what she was seeing.

She pinched her cheek, "Ouch…! It's really not a dream, but where did that guy Fang Yuan run off to?" Xiang Lingling was a little puzzled.

How could the environment around her have changed so much after just one nap?

What was happening to this world?

Following the direction in her memory, she walked all the way to the classroom where she had lived for three years.

It was exactly the same as the classroom in her memory. Wait, how could it still be exactly the same as she remembered it after so many years?

Xiang Lingling felt very strange. Logically speaking, the classroom should have undergone many changes by now.

From the moment she entered the school gate, she felt that something was wrong.

Before she could come out, the class bell rang, and the students walked in, each holding a rose.

They placed the roses in their hands on Xiang Lingling's desk as they passed her seat.

In no time, her desk was filled with roses.

What was going on?

Over the years, the students' faces were filled with traces of time.

But she could still recognize who was who.

"What's going on?" Xiang Lingling vaguely guessed something, but she wasn't sure yet.

"Fang Yuan must be playing tricks, but why can't I see him anywhere?" Xiang Lingling looked behind her. Fang Yuan's high school seat was empty.

Just as she turned her head, Fang Yuan walked in holding a "book."

He walked to the podium, didn't say anything, and picked up the chalk to write "swish, swish" on the blackboard.

"Xiang Lingling, will you marry me?" Xiang Lingling only saw these words when Fang Yuan put down the chalk.

But before she could react, Fang Yuan had already walked to her side, knelt on one knee, and held up the book he had just brought in with both hands.

She had never seen Fang Yuan with such a serious expression.

"Will you marry me? I will always be good to you!"

A simple sentence left Xiang Lingling speechless. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

From the moment she saw Fang Yuan again, she had been looking forward to this day's arrival.

Tears welled up involuntarily. She covered her mouth with her hand and nodded heavily.

"I do!"

After saying that, she took the book from Fang Yuan's hand. When she took it, she felt that something was wrong.

Normally, a book this thick shouldn't weigh this much.

No wonder he wanted to use this book as a marriage proposal prop. She thought it was really a book, but it turned out there was more to it than met the eye.

Sure enough, after opening the book, she found that it was just a ring box with the appearance of a book.

Fang Yuan took the ring out of it and put it on Xiang Lingling's hand.

After completing this action, the classroom was surrounded by applause.

Not only that, but the neighboring classrooms, or rather the entire school, were filled with applause.

The two hugged each other tightly. Xiang Lingling, with a flushed face, whispered in Fang Yuan's ear.

"Where did you find so many classmates? You must have worked hard!"

"Hehe, that's right. It took a lot of effort to gather these people!"

Fang Yuan shamelessly took the credit for himself. What were brothers for? Wasn't it to silently support him at this time?

That's right, that's how it was. Fang Yuan saw Xu Qiang and Zhou Shengde smiling the happiest among these classmates, and he became even more convinced of this idea.

…

Of course, a grand marriage proposal ceremony couldn't end so easily.

The proposal was completed, and next was the class reunion.

It wasn't easy to gather so many people, so how could they just disperse like that? To be honest, the number of class reunions had decreased over the years since graduation.

When was the last time they had such a complete gathering?

Maybe it was still at graduation.

After that, everyone went their own way, and there wouldn't be so many people together.

The protagonists of this reunion were of course Fang Yuan and Xiang Lingling, especially Fang Yuan, who had just successfully proposed, was the focus of attention.

He was constantly surrounded by classmates, one after another. If it weren't for Xu Qiang and Zhou Shengde helping him to block the bullets, he might not have been able to walk out today.

These guys were really enough. There were hundreds of people present, right?

Couldn't they come together? Why did they have to come one by one to congratulate him?

Congratulating was fine, but why did everyone bring wine when they came?

Fang Yuan had never drunk so much wine in his life! But after today, he felt that he would never touch this stuff again.

Fortunately, he discovered a cheat artifact, the Energy Potion produced by the system, which could actually resolve the side effects of alcohol.

Was this the correct way to use the Energy Potion?

But he wasn't rich enough to use the Energy Potion to sober up.

He was afraid that the system would increase the price of the Energy Potion if this continued.

Fortunately, after these people saw that Fang Yuan had drunk a lot, they weren't as crazy as before.

Otherwise, with hundreds of people, Fang Yuan felt that he would be drowned in wine today.

"Why did you drink so much?" Xiang Lingling said, supporting Fang Yuan.

"I'm happy today, so I drank a little more! From now on! I! Fang Yuan is, hic! A man with a fiancée! Happy!" Fang Yuan said intermittently.

He gestured as he spoke. Xiang Lingling looked at this somewhat delirious man.

She didn't expect this stubborn blockhead to be able to create such a scene today.

To be honest, she was really a little scared when she entered the school.

After all, it was empty and appeared in front of her. Who wouldn't be scared if it were anyone else?

But overall, he was still thoughtful. At this time, Xiang Lingling realized that this guy had gone to pick up the ring in the morning.

Looking at the engagement ring on her hand, Xiang Lingling felt that she was the happiest woman at this moment.

No matter what happens in the future, at least she was the happiest now, and judging from this, things would definitely not be bad in the future.

Especially after seeing how Fang's parents interacted, she felt that her and Fang Yuan's future life would definitely not be boring.

"Miss Xiang, is the boss…?" Zhu Tian asked.

"It's okay, he just drank a little too much. Let's go home!" Xiang Lingling also knew Zhu Tian's responsibilities.

After settling Fang Yuan at home, she sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Fang Yuan who was already fast asleep, as if she saw the big boy from high school again.

Well, so many years have passed, and time has not left any traces on Fang Yuan.

As she watched, she fell asleep by the bed.

Early the next morning, Fang Yuan felt that his arm was numb.

He got up and took a look, only to find that Xiang Lingling was sleeping on his arm.

He carefully pulled his arm out, and just as he was about to pick her up, he saw that Xiang Lingling had already opened her eyes.

"Why are you sleeping here? Go to bed and sleep properly. I'll go prepare breakfast for you!" Fang Yuan didn't allow her any room for argument, putting her on the bed and covering her with the blanket.

Then, he went out to prepare breakfast.

As for what he was preparing, Xiang Lingling didn't care at all.

Anything Fang Yuan prepared was always especially delicious.

She touched the ring on her hand, finally certain that all of this was real.

After all, last night was too dreamlike, and she was afraid that she would wake up and find that it was all just her imagination.

This time, going home, she had an official status. Otherwise, bringing her back as a girlfriend for the New Year would have been difficult to explain.

……

After eating the loving breakfast prepared by Fang Yuan, the two of them packed all the prepared gifts.

Then, they embarked on the road back to Beihai.

This time, the two people's mindsets were different, and their identities were different as well.

Oh right, he hadn't told his mother the news of his successful proposal yet. No matter, there was no rush, he would tell her when he got home.

He wondered if his parents missed him.

To say they didn't was impossible. As long as Fang Yuan wasn't by their side, they would start to miss their son.

However, this matter must not be allowed to Fang Yuan to know, otherwise, what if it delayed his work?

Now their son was different, and they couldn't be so selfish.

It should be known that Fang Yuan could now be said to be an existence that determined the fate of countless people, no longer the young punk he once was.

Whether it was for the country, for Jiuzhou, or even for strangers.

Fang Yuan had achieved this.

He had already begun to change people's lives, from the Jiuzhou system to the Oxygen mini series of products, to carbon-based chips and holographic projection technology.

No matter which one, it had a huge impact on people's lives.

In addition, he was working on controllable nuclear fusion technology. As long as it was successful, people's lives should undergo earth-shattering changes.

Not to mention anything else, after the success of controllable nuclear fusion technology, after a series of developments and the miniaturization of the reactor, those products that appeared in science fiction movies would become a reality.

However, this process would not be smooth sailing, but as long as Fang Yuan was there, nothing was impossible.

In this way, not only Earth, but he could also set his sights on the sea of stars.

At least, exploring the solar system in his lifetime would not be a problem.

Otherwise, Fang Yuan wouldn't have attached so much importance to controllable nuclear fusion technology.

In the end, wasn't it still because of this matter?

Moreover, compared to traditional power systems, as long as a method for miniaturizing the reactor could be found in the future, it could become a new power source for aerospace.

In this way, China's desire to become the world's strongest could be realized in a few decades or even a little more than ten years.

Now China had begun to embark on this road.

Carbon-based chips had already paved the way for them, and now they only lacked a key to successfully open the door to a new world.

After returning home, Fang Yuan told his parents the good news as soon as possible.

"Good job, kid. You did well this time, worthy of encouragement."

"That's right, Lao Fang, didn't you order a necklace abroad? Hurry up and take it out as a meeting gift for our daughter-in-law."

"Yes, yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll go get it."

Fang Yuan knew about the necklace that his father had ordered. It was originally prepared for his mother, and its value was shockingly expensive.

The price wasn't the most important thing. That necklace was definitely unique.

He had been coveting it for a long time, but he didn't expect that this old man would be willing to take it out this time.

However, Fang Yuan didn't mention this matter to Xiang Lingling, he knew that if he said it, Xiang Lingling wouldn't want it no matter what.

"Auntie, I can't accept such a valuable gift!" Even if he didn't say it, when the necklace was handed to Xiang Lingling, she knew the value of this necklace.

"Take it, this is Auntie's heart!"

"But!"

"There's no 'but'. We're all family now, don't be so polite."

His mother was very happy today and didn't let Fang's father help with cooking, preparing a large table of dishes by herself.

They were all his favorites, and Fang Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was getting special treatment.

He hadn't had such good treatment before.

Or rather, he hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment for a long time, but unfortunately this time it wasn't for him that he had such treatment.

Wasn't she not even married yet? Why was he already not the biological son?

Alas! What's wrong with this world?

Fang Yuan was in pain and happiness, not knowing how to express his current mood.

Thinking that this kind of life would accompany him for the rest of his life, he began to doubt the correctness of his decision this time.
