‘On our second meeting at Bar Vista, you were like a drunk cat, and just like that, you burst into my world like a tyrant . ’
“Pfft!” She could not help but burst out laughing at this .
“What ‘drunk cat’ and what ‘burst into my world like a tyrant’? That’s not entirely accurate at all . So corny . ”
She tightly pinched the note between her fingers . Although she said that in a spiteful tone, her face was filled with bliss, and she was grinning from ear to ear .
She raised her foot and quickly walked forward with a heart full of anticipation . She was anticipating the words that would be on the third stalk of rose .
‘Our third meeting was at Chenguang, but I didn’t recognize you at first .
‘Our fourth meeting was…’
She walked forward step by step . With every step, the blissful smile on her face grew .
Her pace quickened .
Every step she took was filled with bliss . Every step she took was brimming with unparalleled happiness .
“Big sis, your rose!”
This was already the ninety-ninth rose, and she only thought that tonight was such a wonderful dream – everything felt magical and surreal .
By now, she was hugging a large bouquet of roses . The floral fragrance engulfed her .
The ninety-ninth rose she had received was much larger than the previous ones .
She moved to untie the note on the rose stalk, but she realized that there was nothing on it .
“Eh?” She paused, extremely surprised .
Just as she was feeling confused, she noticed that there was something at the rose itself .
Her breath halted, and she nervously took out the item .
To her surprise, she found that what was hidden amid the petals was a small, exquisite box .
She blinked and opened it expectantly .
Pak!
Once the box was open, a small figurine in a suit popped out .
This small figurine’s hair and suit were a copy of Ji Ziming’s .
While she was in a daze, this small figurine’s arms suddenly moved, and—
‘Pei Ge, do you like me?’
She was dumbfounded by the small note the small figurine was holding up .
Although she had long realized that this was a meticulously prepared confession from that annoying fellow, only when she saw this note did she feel that everything was real .
She held the square box in her hand tightly, her eyes filling with tears which blurred her sight .
“Am I dreaming…” she mumbled, her voice wavering .
At this moment, waves of clear, white snowflakes drifted from the sky .
The late snow… was finally here .
From the dark yet brightly lit night sky, pure snow fell, giving the lights their due embellishment . The snowflakes falling from the sky were like flower petals, making this brightly lit place more romantic .
Amid these snowflakes was a man in a navy suit walking toward her slowly .
Her gaze had grown hazy by now, so she did not notice that Ji Ziming was striding toward her .
Only when he was merely steps away from her did she notice his presence . The person she was longing in her heart for seemed to appear magically right in front of her .
With her teary eyes from bliss, she lifted her head to look at him .
“Ji—” Ziming, am I dreaming, or are you playing tricks with me again? Why… do I see you confessing to me?
He did not give her a chance to speak at all, though .
“Pei Ge, I like you . ” On his handsome and prideful face, a rare awkward expression appeared as his gentle gaze rested on her .
Pound, pound!
She only felt that her heart was no longer hers as it accelerated and pounded erratically . She could not say anything and could only stare at the man in front of her silently and sillily .
“In the time that you were gone, I’ve thought a lot and realized that I don’t know when but you’re already an indispensable part of my life . ”
He raised his hands to rest them on her cheeks . His fingers then gently wiped her tears away .
“I realized that I… care a lot about you and that I don’t want you to leave my sight again . ”
Be it his expression or action, everything was very gentle . It was gentle that she had nowhere to flee .
Pound, pound!
She tried hard to see his face but realized that she could not do so because tears were clouding her eyes .
“Pei Ge, I’ve never cared so much for a woman, especially a stupid woman like you . ”
A gentle smile suddenly graced his cold lips .
Spotting this smile, she thought that this must be a dream . If not, why would this annoying fellow smile fondly at her?
“I don’t care whether you like me or not; in this lifetime, you can only have me . The only man you can hold in your heart is me . You can only like me and me alone . ”
Although this gentle smile was still on his lips, his dark and deep eyes held a cold and sharp glint as they peered penetratingly into hers .
The way he looked at her made it seem as if he were making a promise to her .
“I want you to love only me with your all . ”
With that, Pei Ge’s sight darkened as Ji Ziming dipped his head . Although his movements were very gentle, he refused any objections from her as he kissed her lips . This stunned her .
“Wuuu!”
Feeling the gentle yet cold touch on her lips, her body was suddenly on fire as something blazed within her .
It blazed through her very core . She could only fall deep into a trance as his gentle lips and tongue guided hers into a lovely dance…
