A Chinese Guy Proposed To His Gamer Girlfriend With 25 iPhone X, And She Obviously Said Yes

When Chen Ming, a young video-game designer from Shenzen in China, decided to propose to his girlfriend, he wanted it to be a big romantic gesture. So, of course, he did it with a sack full of iPhone X.

Ming pre-ordered 25 iPhone X units and, when the device finally reached China on November 3, he decided to lay them out in a pattern and wait for his beloved.

Ming laid out the 25 smartphones in the shape of a heart on the floor, complete with scattered rose petals for good measure, before asking the girl to marry him. He then enlisted the aid of her friends to draw her to the spot, where he could propose.

Of course the girl, named Lee, immediately said yes. But no, it¡¯s not just the flashing of wealth the proposal seems to be, or at least according to Ming. He says he used the iPhone X to propose because both he and his girlfriend are avid fans of smartphone games. The two reportedly met two years ago through a game Ming had developed, and gaming has been a big part of their relationship since. And why 25 iPhone X instead of just a few? Well, that¡¯s apparently to signify Lee¡¯s age.

Of course, Lee and Chen can¡¯t really use 25 of the fancy smartphones, so it seems the friends who aided in the proposal now have a free iPhone X each. Photos of the event have, of course, gone viral, first on Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo and subsequently across the world.

Of course, most people believe the groom-to-be could have instead bought his lady love a car, or put a down payment on a new house. The price of an iPhone X starts at about Rs 82,600 in China (when converted from Yuan), meaning Ming spent about Rs 20,58,600 on the 25 devices.

Then again, no one said love was smart. And JLo's song was a lie all along -- love does cost a thing!
