What Guangyou was holding in his hand was a small and exquisite arched red velvet box.
The velvet box has no elaborate decorations on its exterior, only two gold-stamped English letters and a symbol as embellishment:
The two gold-plated English letters “M” and “H” are connected by a smaller “&”.
Although it hasn't been opened yet, Ai already had a guess about what was inside the box the moment she saw it.
No, it should be said to be the correct answer.
Her pupils contracted slightly, her rosy lips parted slightly, and disbelief filled her delicate face.
Even now, she hasn't recovered from the shock.
Those beautiful, icy blue eyes were fixed on the velvet box in Guangyou's hand, unwilling to look away for even a second.
The box wasn't big; Guangyou could hold it steadily with one hand.
Although it wasn't a big deal, it touched Ai's heart quite deeply.
With a firm gaze fixed on Ai, who stood a few steps away in a daze, Kōyū did not say anything to disturb her, keeping his hand raised the whole time.
He appeared calm, but he was actually incredibly nervous inside.
He is 100% certain and confident of success.
But at this point, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Just like back then:
The feelings I had when I first met Ai, when I first expressed my feelings to her, when I first held her hand, when I first held her in my arms, when our lips touched, when I first fell asleep in her arms...
Many memories from the past flooded his mind at this moment, appearing before his eyes in the form of images.
The images flashed by like a marquee.
As his thoughts returned to normal, Guangyou's heart calmed down a little, but some tension remained that was hard to dispel.
If he saw Ai looking like this normally, he would definitely laugh it off.
"What are you daydreaming about, you little rascal?"
"This is for you, take it!"
But at this moment, he didn't say anything, he just stayed in that position, looking at Ai who was still in a daze.
Perhaps because she really didn't expect this to happen, Ai stood there in a daze for a long time.
After a long while, she opened her mouth as if to speak, but closed it again after two seconds.
She raised her head for only a few seconds before lowering it again.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Guangyou and the velvet box in Guangyou's hand.
After repeating this process several times, Ai finally spoke, uttering her first words in those few minutes.
"What are you doing...?"
Everything was right in front of her, but Ai still found it hard to believe.
She already had the right answer in her heart, but she still wanted to hear Guangyou admit it with her own ears.
Seeing her so surprised, Guangyou was as if he had been bewitched by a witch; his inner tension vanished in an instant.
He responded to Ai's question with a smile:
"It's so obvious, is there any need to ask?"
After receiving a positive response from Mitsuyu, Ai remained silent.
She took a step and slowly walked towards Guangyou, who was a few steps away from her.
It was only a few steps away, but it took her almost ten seconds to walk.
Every step she took felt like it was treading on Guangyou's heart, causing his breathing and heartbeat to quicken involuntarily.
Even if you walk slowly, you will eventually reach your destination.
Ai walked slowly to Kōyū, raised her chin, and asked him calmly:
"Aren't you going to open it?"
"Of course I'll open it."
As he finished speaking, Guangyou held the arched velvet box in one hand and opened it with the other.
As the box was opened, a dazzling light appeared before their eyes, illuminated by the room's lights.
A black, velvety inner core holds a ring set with diamonds.
The dazzling diamond ring, Guangyou's affirmation...
Everything was telling Ai that her earlier guess was true.
"You..." Ai's tone was very gentle, "Why did you suddenly give me this?"
"Is it sudden?" Guangyou smiled and explained, "Actually, I didn't want to give it to you today."
He looked at Ai and said:
"I originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity and create a suitable atmosphere before giving it to you."
"But you found out I was hiding something from you, and you just asked me what it was, so I delivered it ahead of time."
At this moment, Ai also put aside her pride and confessed to Kousuke:
"Actually, I wouldn't have done anything if you hadn't said anything."
"I was just pretending."
Seeing Ai's feigned calmness, Kōyū said:
"I know."
I know you won't be angry.
"I know that you were just pretending."
“I know all of that.”
"Then why did you take this out in the first place?" Ai asked, puzzled. "Weren't we waiting for the right time to give it to you?"
"The answer is simple."
At this point, Kwangyu paused for a second.
Then he revealed the answer:
"Because I can't wait."
Before Ai asked, he explained it to her first:
"If you hadn't noticed, Ai, and hadn't asked me, then I could have held back and waited for an opportunity."
"I'm giving this to you in a very romantic setting."
"But when you asked me that, I couldn't help but think about it."
"So is this my fault?" Ai asked.
"It depends on how you think about it." Kōyū chuckled a few times, without giving Ai a direct answer.
"Then blame me," Ai replied.
She lowered her head slightly and stared at the diamond ring for a few seconds.
