Many pigeons were playing in the square. The birds were not afraid of the crowd at all. They even surrounded the people who fed them and cooed.
As soon as Su Jiu walked over to them, a white pigeon flew toward her and perched on her shoulder. Pleasantly surprised, she remained motionless and turned to look at it.
Rong Si’s lips curved as he stroked her head. “Wait here for me. I’ll be back soon.”
Su Jiu immediately asked, “Where are you going?”
Instead of answering her, Rong Si repeated, “Give me a minute. Be good for me.”
His voice, mixed with the night wind, was so pleasant, especially when he said, “Be good.” Su Jiu nodded, feeling captivated. “Okay…”
Seeing Rong Si turn around and leave, Su Jiu drew her gaze away and turned to look at the wishing well again.
If only all my wishes could come true.
As she was thinking, a small hand suddenly tugged at the corner of her shirt. Su Jiu looked down and saw a cute little girl.
The little girl held a beautiful pink rose in her hand. “Sister, you’re so beautiful. Just like this flower. For you!”
Su Jiu was unsure why the girl had suddenly given her flowers, but she was flattered. Smiling, she reached for them. “Thank you.”
After she accepted the pink rose, another little boy came over to her and handed her a red rose. “For you, sister!”
Immediately after, more children brought her flowers one after another. In a short while, the flowers in her hand became a bouquet of roses. Fresh roses of all colors were still wet with water droplets and beautiful.
Su Jiu was a little confused, but then she realized… It was arranged by the little villain?
Why else would someone send her flowers for no reason?
But where is the little villain now?
She was looking around curiously when she saw a band dressed in traditional costumes. They were playing pleasant music with violins, bagpipes, accordions, harmonicas, etc, as they approached her. They stopped beside her as if they were holding a small concert just for her.
Su Jiu’s heart suddenly beat faster. She had a strong feeling that the little villain had prepared this for her.
So, he had to be close!
As if that wasn’t enough, a group of children dressed as cherubs then ran over to her with sparklers. They stood on either side of her and smiled brightly at her. In the dazzling fireworks, Su Jiu saw a familiar figure. A handsome and tall youth appeared in her line of sight, approaching her with a large bouquet of blue roses.
The moment Su Jiu saw him, she froze. It was as if he were a beautiful young man who had walked straight out of a movie. She was stunned.
Rong Si stopped in front of her. His deep eyes danced with the light of fireworks and reflected hers. The smile in his eyes was obvious, yet gentle.
Su Jiu could not remain calm when Rong Si stood before her like this. When he suddenly knelt before her in front of so many people and handed her the bouquet of roses, her mind went blank.
Is the little villain… going to confess?
She had imagined him confessing in many ways, but she hadn’t expected him to do it in this way.
So formal, as if he were proposing for her hand in marriage…
