Go back? There's no going back.

But, the next second, his head was firmly held down by a slender arm.

"What's the answer?"

In front of me, the princess' voice suddenly became cold as she asked.

"……Yes."

Although the concept of self-love is still a little vague, after a moment of silence, Su Wei's face became serious and he no longer hesitated: "I will do it."

After answering this, Su Wei felt the force on his head weakened, and he raised his head again.

"……Um."

"If you say something, you must keep your word."

Listening to the princess's instructions and looking up at her stunning face, Su Wei suddenly noticed that at this moment, there was a small arc rising slightly at the corner of her soft lips.

At this moment, looking at the princess like this, Su Wei was stunned.

After a brief moment of distraction, he suddenly realized that this seemed... to be the first time he saw the princess smile.

It was not the awe-inspiring smile of the past, but a smile that came from the heart.

However, she was clearly smiling, so why did her expression... look so lonely?

"The rain has stopped."

Su Wei opened his mouth, and just when he was about to say something, the princess suddenly looked out the window again.

"..."

Hearing the sound, Su Wei also looked out the window.

Although the sky was still gloomy, the rain showers that had enchanted the evening breeze had indeed stopped.

At this moment, Su Wei quickly realized that it was time for him to leave.

Standing up silently, he subconsciously wanted to say goodbye to the princess in front of him.

But at this moment, with a crisp sound like something falling from a high place exploding at his feet, Su Wei shuddered all over and looked down subconsciously.

I saw that the small box that he had originally placed in his trouser pocket was now lying quietly on the ground.

"Ah, sorry."

Su Wei quickly squatted down and picked up the box. He sighed speechlessly and cast an apologetic look at the princess who was also a little frightened.

"..."

However, compared to Su Wei's apology, the princess seemed to focus more on the small box.

As if she had thought of something, the already lonely look on her face became even more depressed unconsciously.

"Um, is this a gift you're going to give to someone?"

After a moment's silence, she smiled again and asked softly.

"No, I don't have any plans to give it to anyone right now..."

Su Wei was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head.

Not to mention that this thing was just something he picked up at the door of the hotel.

Just because it was once sold at a high price by an unscrupulous boss, Su Wei didn't have the courage to give it to others.

It's not that he's a coward, but that he has a serious lack of trust in a certain guy's conscience.

God knows what kind of weird things are in here.

"...?"

The next second, Su Wei wanted to put the small box back into his pocket, but he suddenly noticed that the princess in front of him... was staring at it intently for some reason.

Blinking his eyes, Su Wei looked at the princess, then lowered his head to look at the small box in his hand...

At this moment, an extremely dangerous and bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

If it were in the past, he would probably have buried this dangerous idea full of uncertainty into the ground in the next second.

"…Actually, I'm not really sure what's in it."

But now, after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth, and as if possessed by a spirit, he took the initiative to hand the box that he was about to take back to the princess.

"If you don't mind... just open it and take a look."

"……May I?"

The green eyes blinked slightly, as if she was surprised by Su Wei's choice. The first princess in front of her said with a subtle expression on her face: "This, is it really not a gift you plan to give to others?"

"No, it's not really."

Su Wei shook his head vigorously. On the way, as if he had thought of something, he added in a low voice: "Even if I really want to give you a gift in the future, I want to give it to you first..."

"……Yeah."

Hearing this, Celsia calmed down a little. After several seconds, she opened her mouth nonchalantly: "Should I feel honored now? To be considered the first choice by a stubborn big shot."

"You... are joking."

Su Wei vaguely heard some meaning in the other party's words, and his expression froze. He said awkwardly: "The one who should feel honored that you are willing to accept the gift is that little character."

"..."

It seemed that this answer satisfied the princess. She stretched out her hand and took the small box from Su Wei.

But not long after, she handed the small box back to Su Wei.

"Here, it says two people have to hold the switch together to turn it on."

The First Princess said to Su Wei, tapping the label on the box with her slender white fingertips.

"Uh...I understand."

Looking at the First Princess beside him who could obviously force open the small box with a little force, Su Wei silently held the right half of the box.

"three……"

"two……"

"one."

The two hands touched each other irresistibly.

After the princess finished the countdown, which had suddenly become quite ceremonial for some reason, Su Wei and she raised their fingers together and pressed the small buttons on both ends of the box at the same time.

Both of them pressed their fingers simultaneously on the exquisitely packaged small box.

Then, the entire hall fell into a brief silence.

Feeling the slight force feeding back on his fingertips, Su Wei took a deep breath without leaving any trace.

He subconsciously glanced at the seal on the top of the box that indicated that the box had passed the Imperial Product Inspection.

This time, Su Wei was not worried that there might be any dirty things inside.

However, perhaps because of the strange sense of ritual that the princess had just expressed, at this moment, Su Wei still swallowed his saliva silently... and inexplicably felt a subtle sense of tension.

"...?"

But soon, his nervousness...faded away little by little.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds...

In the silent hall, after the two waited for nearly ten seconds, nothing happened.

"..."

The expectations, which were already few in number, turned into silence at this moment.

Su Wei looked silently at the box in front of him, which still had no response after pressing the buttons on both sides at the same time. His expression froze slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Afterwards, after realizing that he seemed to have been fooled by an unscrupulous boss again... Su Wei was silent for a moment, but instead felt a little relieved.

Just say it.

Although this made him speechless, he thought that this result was actually not bad.

At most it was a dud. At least it didn't make the princess feel bad because of some strange things inside.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Su Wei didn't have much hope for this thing.

Chirp, coo, chirp, coo--

Just as Su Wei was thinking this, a sound as if something was stuck suddenly reached his ears.

At the same time, a sudden vibration came from the box in his hand.

"Ok?"

After a brief forward shake, without leaving Su Wei any time to doubt, there was a "pop!" sound, and Su Wei only felt a flash before his eyes. The box in his and the princess' hands, which had been tightly closed, bounced open like a shell that suddenly opened its mouth.

The next second, all kinds of red, white and colorful strips burst out, flying in the air like flowers scattered by a fairy, and then fell onto the originally tidy floor of the hall.

At this moment, even the princess, who seemed relaxed and not on guard, seemed to be slightly frightened.

At this moment, her long, gorgeous golden hair was covered with many colored strips and fireworks because of the "explosion" just now.

...No, how can all these things fit into such a small box?

Seeing this scene, Su Wei was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed slightly.

He knew how much the princess took care of her hair...

"Ah... dear, I want to tell you my feelings——"

At the same time, before the two people who were standing there in a daze could come to their senses, a man's singing voice that sounded familiar to Su Wei suddenly came out from the small box.

"I want to be with you—"

After a brief moment of confusion, Su Wei's expression froze when he suddenly realized that it was the voice of a certain unscrupulous flower shop owner.

"I want to hold you in my arms..."

"I will always, always... always love you——"

Just like that, in the spacious main hall of the First Palace, accompanied by a folk song that was obviously tuneless but for some reason surprisingly listenable, Su Wei's increasingly stiff eyes finally noticed what was left in the small box.

They were two small, ring-shaped objects placed close together.

...Ah?

Seeing this scene, Su Wei was stunned at first, and then he felt unwell all over.

At this moment, he just felt that his inner favorable impression of a certain unscrupulous boss...suddenly reached the maximum value.

I'll wait until the next time we meet and knock him out with one punch.

This is... a tool that can be used to "reconcile"?

Su Wei remembered that the last time he bought flowers, he had clearly stated that they were for the woman he respected the most.

When your family is reconciled, you give this thing to others?

Are you planning to hang your buddy on the southeast branch first and then make peace with him?

At this moment, he suddenly felt a gaze like a needle piercing his face, and Su Wei's expression suddenly froze.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the First Princess beside him.

“Um, um, Princess, this is…”

After noticing that the other person's brows were obviously tightly furrowed, unlike before, he felt his heart stop.

At this moment, the only thing that made him feel relieved was... Fortunately, he had said in advance when he took out the box just now that he didn't know what was inside.

He won’t take the blame for this.

Moreover, it was obvious that the princess was not the type to vent her anger on others.

Thinking of this, Su Wei calmed down again. He looked at the princess, organizing his words while trying to explain something.
