On Valentine's Day of August 6th, a classic "Proposal Operation" was staged at the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center Square. Accompanied by the theme song of the matchmaking program "If You Are the One", 49 cartoon dolls of "Carrot Brother" performed a vigorous dance. After the dance, the square echoed with the male protagonist's declaration of love. Soon after, the male protagonist removed his props, knelt down on one knee, and proposed to his completely unaware girlfriend who was present at the scene. The girlfriend was moved to tears by what she saw and immediately accepted his proposal.
"The farm game" helped him achieve a successful proposal: "My friend has known his girlfriend for six months. He secretly planned a proposal ceremony. The idea originated from the farm game, which was a game that both parties were keen on before. The entire scene was designed according to a vegetable garden, with 49 carrots participating, corresponding to the Qixi Valentine's Day on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Orange is the color the female likes. To fit the characteristics of the male protagonist, we designed big yellow-frame glasses on the image of the carrot." Subsequently, "Carrot Brother" performed a vigorous dance on the square. When the girlfriend dressed in red was anxious, the "Carrot Brother" team split in the middle, and at the end of the line was a heart-shaped bouquet made up of 365 red roses. A "Carrot Brother" took off his costume, knelt down in front of the female protagonist, and proposed to her. "Marry him, marry him..." The whole venue erupted in thunderous cheers, and the female protagonist shyly nodded. The two embraced each other.
The claim that the proposal ceremony cost 100,000 yuan was just a joke. According to Mr. Pang, who portrayed "Carrot Brother," the two met through a friend, and the Qixi Festival marked exactly half a year since they first met. He works in the financial industry, while his girlfriend studies in Australia. Although they are mostly separated by distance, they quickly fell in love and almost video chat every day. The entire adorable proposal, including props, venue, personnel, and equipment, was designed based on the social website game "farm game" that they often communicated and played together. The entire process planning lasted about three weeks, and the claim of costing 100,000 yuan was just a joke he made with friends. In reality, the expenditure was approximately three to four thousand yuan, mainly for flowers and balloons. The carrot doll used was just a prop borrowed from a friend making a movie, coincidentally fitting the proposal scene, and this year also happens to be the Year of the Rabbit.
The 9-yuan envelope for the proposal was an additional small creative segment added on the day, mainly to give his girlfriend a solid commitment. Passerby girls all called it romantic. Reporters randomly interviewed several girls on the street, and they all thought this kind of proposal was very romantic. Miss Hu said wistfully: "If my boyfriend could come up with such a romantic way to propose, I would definitely agree. I think Miss Zhao Lu would definitely say yes. Such a romantic proposal, few girls could refuse."
Most men, however, were unwilling to talk much, only acknowledging that the male protagonist was very creative, and they were far inferior. On-site opinions differed due to age differences. Most young girls agreed that it was romantic and beautiful: "Proposing and getting married happen only once in a lifetime, so of course, it should be romantic, leaving a beautiful memory for oneself." Older people, however, dismissed it: "The matter of proposing, the two people knowing it themselves is enough. Why make such a fuss? It's simply nonsense. Can this ensure lasting feelings? And it wastes money!"
