Chapter 157 Proposal on the Beach
The new couple in the bar didn't seem to attract much attention.
Most people were just having a good time chatting with the people around them while drinking wine and beverages.
“Oh my god!”
"It looks like someone is proposing!"
With two surprised shouts coming from outside, Steve and Manuela, who were originally in a stalemate, were startled at the same time.
The latter opened his slightly closed eyes, and then he realized that he had just done something... which he had thought was very bold before.
Steve's face also turned slightly red, and his previous cold and calm "disguise" was no longer there.
"Ahem...want to go outside and take a look?"
"--good…"
When the two arrived at the door of the bar, they found that a small circle of people had gathered on the beach in the distance.
In the center of the crowd, Yang Ren was kneeling on one knee in front of Claire, holding an exquisite little gift box in one hand.
"I told you that I will accompany you throughout your life, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, until the end of this world."
"Five years is really not enough. I hope I can continue to laugh with you and cry with you for the rest of my life, even in the next life."
"will you marry me?"
The gift box was opened, and Yang Ren took out a four-claw purple spinel ring, which looked to be at least 10 carats.
The most precious things had already been given in advance by both parties.
They are the amber feather necklace that Claire gave to Yang Ren, and the Red Queen watch that Yang Ren gave to Claire.
Diamonds are tied together by capital and love, and they are not valuable things in themselves. They are not as valuable as gold, and not as beautiful as gems.
In this case, giving a ring was just a formality, so Yang Ren simply chose a nice gemstone ring.
Moreover, he went through a lot of trouble to buy it from a Spanish businessman.
Listening to these words, Claire, who was covering her face with her hands, felt her tear glands irritated.
Two lines of tears slowly flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She glanced at Chris standing in the crowd not far away, but found that he seemed to be smiling happier than Yang Ren?
Chris in the crowd looked at this beautiful scene and shook his head with emotion.
I was worried that Claire might not be able to get married in the future because of her personality, but now it seems that I was too worried.
Focusing her eyes back on the purple spinel ring in front of her, Claire took a deep breath to calm herself down, then spoke with a trembling voice:
"I am willing!"
Then, Yang Ren took out the ring with a smile and slowly put it on Claire's left middle finger to indicate engagement.
However, before he could take the next step, Claire pulled him up from the ground and they kissed each other passionately.
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
The crowd also burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Steve, who was standing at the door of the tavern not far away, was a little dazed, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It feels like relief, or like envy or jealousy, and maybe a little bit of emotion.
However, as his palm felt cold, Manuela plucked up her courage again and took his hand.
Steve turned around and looked directly into Manuela's very sweet smile.
At this moment, his heart was blown away by the elk.
……
After the proposal, everyone put on their clothes and went into the bar behind the beach.
Unlike the usual open-air taverns on the beach, this bar is enclosed and has a pretty good atmosphere.
There is also a resident band on the stage in the middle of the bar, as well as various musical instruments such as drums, guitars, and even a piano.
This was the time when the band had just finished their set and it was time for a break.
Yang Ren and the Ke brothers and sisters were chatting happily at the bar. Chris glanced at the musical instruments on the stage and suddenly said to Yang Ren:
"I heard from Claire before that you can play a musical instrument."
"We have all the musical instruments here, how about going up and playing some music?"
"——Hey, why are you making things difficult for me~!"
Snapped!
Hearing Chris' request, Claire frowned and hit Chris' shoulder with a devastating punch, but failed to break his defense.
Yang Ren didn't care and shrugged:
"Small idea."
After communicating with the bar owner, Yang Ren successfully took over all the instruments on the stage in exchange for one hour's salary of the band.
After careful selection, Yang Ren sat in front of the piano.
It’s just that he knows a lot of piano pieces, and when he gets on stage he suddenly doesn’t know which one to play.
While trying out the piano sounds, he simply thought for a moment and decided on the piece he wanted to play.

Soon, melodious piano music sounded.
The piano sounds smooth and gentle. It's not a very sad song, but one can seem to hear a deep and sad feeling from it.
The bar, which was originally quite noisy, gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Ren on the stage.
Some passers-by were discussing why the resident band suddenly changed, while others were praising the piano playing for being so good.
Moreover, no one present had ever heard this song before.
Shirley, who was sitting with Steve and Manuela not far away, poked Manuela's arm excitedly:
"See, I told you that Brother Nicholas plays the piano really well!"
"Sure enough, he kept something back when he taught me. I haven't even heard of this song before!"
However, when he saw Manuela sitting with Steve, looking uncomfortable and glancing at him shyly from time to time...
Thinking back to what Manuela had said before, that she was interested in Steve...
"You two, can't you..."
She asked in disbelief, and Manuela nodded in the affirmative.
“Ah~↘↗——”
At this moment, Shirley felt like the sky was falling.
The song ended quickly and there was a burst of enthusiastic applause in the bar.
Yang Ren, who was about to leave the stage, suddenly stopped when he passed by the guitar on the stage.
He just played one piano piece and then left the stage...it seems a bit too perfunctory?
Thinking of this, he picked up the guitar again and walked to the microphone on the stage.
After testing the sound, the second track started:
?I remember those lost in the dark?
?The bullet or the blade that kept us apart?
?But I've been moving on, can't be still for long?
?Cause it's the only way?
?Never ache for a place called home?
?Can't hold on so tight, gotta let it all go?
?I have a purpose, it's all that I need?
?To help me find my way?
?Every day?
————(I removed the English lyrics in the second half to avoid people saying I added too many words)
?Stay alert and look ahead on the road?
?Don’t dwell on the light or shadow in your mind?
?Stay alert and look ahead on the road?
?Never look back, never look back?
?Because I have this feeling deep down in my bones that this is going to be okay?
?I learned how to win in a war?
?But how do you fight the enemy within? ?
?Find your pride, explore your heart, and find the light that illuminates your path?
?The people you trust may also betray you?
?One second you are the hunter, the next second you are the prey?
?You paid the price and seemingly lost everything?
?Then you hear a voice echoing in your heart:?
?Stay alert and look ahead on the road?
?Don’t dwell on the light or shadow in your mind?
?Stay alert and look ahead on the road?
?Never look back, never look back…?

Listening to Yang Ren's excellent piano playing and singing, Chris looked "expected" and turned to Claire and said:
"I'll tell you, he didn't learn a musical instrument just to seduce you~"
Claire completely ignored Chris, put one hand on the table, leaned forward slightly with her upper body, and her eyes were full of him on the stage.
Darren, Bob and Kevin, who were sitting together below, were deeply moved as they listened to the lyrics.

It’s a pity that Leon and Elliot were missing from this Hawaii party.
