On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

"Wow! They've embraced! They've embraced!" Zhao Yueyue cheered excitedly as she saw the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl embracing, pointing to the sky, completely captivated by the magnificent fireworks show.

Seeing Zhao Yueyue's happy expression, Huang Mao couldn't help but smile as well.

A surge of courage suddenly welled up within him, and he abruptly grasped the arms of the excited Zhao Yueyue.

This moment surprised Zhao Yueyue, who looked at Huang Mao with a puzzled expression...

"Boom——!!!"

The most magnificent and dazzling fireworks, marking the end of the fireworks show, also exploded at that moment.

Surrounded by billions of golden starlight, the two golden streams of light finally converged, collided, and merged at the highest point and the very center of the night sky!
In an instant, golden light, more dazzling than the sun and more brilliant than the Milky Way, surged forth from the confluence point like a torrent of liquid gold, pouring down in all directions, towards the deep sea, and towards every face looking up on the cape, in a mighty and endless manner!

Golden light rain enveloped the world, and also enveloped the two figures tightly embracing on the giant rock.

Su Yuqing's confession still seemed to echo in the golden rain of light, and Chen Mo stared at her blankly.

Those deep, ink-black eyes clearly reflected her slightly flushed yet resolute face.

The golden glow of the fireworks fell on his thick eyelashes, casting a small shadow, but it couldn't hide the equally intense and burning affection in his eyes.

Chen Mo's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his gaze fixed intently on her, as if she were the only person left in the world.

The world seemed to have truly fallen silent.

The sounds of waves, wind, fireworks, and the distant cheers that erupted as the fireworks display came to a successful close all became distant background noise.

Su Yuqing held her breath, awaiting her fate.

She could clearly see the sudden burst of brilliant light in Chen Mo's eyes, like a dormant volcano finally erupting with scorching lava. That light instantly illuminated his entire handsome face, dispelling all his usual restraint and introversion.

There was no surprise, no hesitation, only an immense, almost overflowing joy and a sense of relief that "I've finally waited for this."

Chen Mo's lips gradually curved upwards, the arc growing wider and wider until it formed an extremely gentle and radiant smile. That smile seemed to melt away all the ice, reaching the deepest part of his eyes, pure and ardent.

His deep voice, filled with laughter and a hint of long-suppressed hoarseness, clearly replied, "You've said everything I wanted to say to you. Now I don't even know what to say anymore. All I can say is that this is the happiest moment of my life so far..."

Chen Mo chuckled softly, the vibrations from his chest reaching Su Yuqing.

“Although you stole the words,” Chen Mo said gently, gazing into Su Yuqing’s slightly red eyes, “fortunately, I have other preparations.”

He said no more, but instead released one hand and, under Su Yuqing's questioning gaze, reached into his pocket.

He finally took out the small velvet box, which he had caressed countless times and which was now warm from his body heat. Against the backdrop of the golden rain that had not yet completely dissipated, he solemnly opened the box, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

The sound of the box opening was drowned out by the roar of fireworks, and a delicate, warm light flashed and disappeared amidst the golden flames—not a cold diamond, but an extremely delicate platinum necklace with a simple yet exquisite design and a soft moonlight glow, lying quietly on black velvet.

The pendant is a small, unadorned, natural teardrop-shaped pearl, displaying an extremely warm and soft cherry blossom pink color. In the extreme light and shadow of the flickering fireworks, it flows with a restrained and warm iridescent luster, as if it has captured her most touching shyness and blush at this moment.

Without saying much, Chen Mo raised his hand, his movements as gentle as if handling a rare treasure, with an almost sacred reverence, and wrapped the platinum chain around Su Yuqing's slender neck.

The cool chain and the lustrous pink pearl pendant gently touched her smooth, radiant collarbone skin, which was heaving with excitement.

The cool touch made her shiver. Then, the small pink pearl fell steadily, stopping right above her heart between the full and soft curves of her lace bra—the place closest to her heart.

This small pink pearl, lacking the dazzling brilliance of a diamond, possesses the gentle warmth nurtured by the sea.

It was like a star retrieved from the depths of his heart, carrying the warmth of his silent protection, gently imprinted on the most important place in her life.

Like a frozen tear of emotion, it silently tells of the same deep and enduring feelings.

As Chen Mo fastened her clasp, his fingertips inevitably brushed against the warm skin and soft wisps of hair on the back of her neck.

The slightly itchy touch sent a shiver down Su Yuqing's spine.

A tremendous, indescribable warm current burst forth from the small pearl in her heart, surging into every part of her body.

"I love you too, Yuqing." The moment the necklace was put on, Chen Mo's deep voice rang in Su Yuqing's ears. This deep, husky voice, with unprecedented clarity and solemnity, pierced through the noise of the fireworks and clearly reached her ears, like the most solemn vow.

"I don't know when it started. Maybe it was the moment we met again in high school and I felt a strange sense of familiarity when I saw you. Or maybe it was the little things we did together at school. Or maybe it was that rainy night when you stood wet at my door and I lost... I almost lost you..." His voice carried a hint of vicissitude, but even more so, it was filled with an overwhelming and deep affection.

"These past six months... watching you smile again little by little, watching you sleep peacefully beside me... every day has made me more certain that opening that door was the best decision I've ever made in my life."

"Please feel free to date me. I want to continue watching you by my side. I hope to see more of your genuine smiles in the future. That's the most beautiful sight I want to see in my life."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's response, Su Yuqing's tears instantly streamed down her face.

Those weren't tears of sorrow, but rather the tremor of the soul caused by the overwhelming happiness and the sense of perfect fulfillment.

She looked down at the pearl on her chest that shimmered in the afterglow of the fireworks, then looked up at Chen Mo, sobbing uncontrollably, and could only nod vigorously.

Su Yuqing could no longer hold back and suddenly threw herself into his arms, tightly wrapping her arms around his lean waist, burying her hot, tear-streaked face deep into his familiar chest. (End of Chapter)
