Yingzhi proposes to Xinyu
As dusk settled in late autumn, the setting sun bathed the clock tower of Yumenosaki Academy in a golden glow, filling the campus with the sweet scent of maple leaves. Xinyu and Yingzhi strolled hand-in-hand along the path strewn with ginkgo leaves—a moment they cherished most each day. Since Xinyu confessed to Yingzhi that she might never be able to return to her original world, their relationship had grown even closer. And today, this seemingly ordinary evening, would become the most important day of their lives.
"Let's go take a look at the back mountain," Yingzhi suggested softly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. He was wearing a light blue shirt with a beige trench coat over it, exuding a gentle and elegant aura.
The two arrived at an open area on the back hill, overlooking the entire campus. The setting sun bathed the glass windows of the teaching building in gold. Yingzhi stopped and took out a delicate little box from his pocket. Inside was a ring engraved with the word "Forever".
"Xinyu," Yingzhi's voice trembled slightly, his eyes shining with unwavering determination, "Ever since we met in Xingye, I've known you are my destiny. You traveled through time to come to my side, experiencing many challenges, but our love has only grown stronger. Today, I want to formally invite you to be my other half."
Tears welled in Xin Yu's eyes. She remembered the scene in Hoshino where Eichi played "Hoshino Renka" for her; she remembered the moments in Yumenosaki where they released river lanterns, drank coffee, and shared cake together; she remembered Eichi's gentle words and unwavering gaze during their walks. Her heart was deeply moved, and she nodded softly: "I do, Eichi. No matter what the future holds, I will be by your side."
Yingzhi gently placed the ring on Xinyu's finger, her eyes filled with tenderness: "This is our promise. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will walk hand in hand. You don't need to choose a place to belong, because you are you, a bridge connecting two worlds. Wherever you are, I will find you; whether you can go back or not, I will stay by your side."
Xin Yu's tears finally fell as she gently grasped Ying Zhi's hand: "Thank you, Ying Zhi. I will always remember this. Because love can transcend all boundaries and connect people from two different worlds."
The two embraced in the sunset, the distant tolling of bells seeming to bless their love. Yingzhi took a pair of couple's bracelets from her pocket and gently placed them on their wrists: "These are our tokens, reminding us of each other's existence anytime, anywhere."
Happiness shone in Xinyu's eyes as she gently leaned on Yingzhi's shoulder: "Yingzhi, I love you."
"I love you too, Xinyu," Yingzhi replied softly, her eyes full of tenderness.
From their initial encounter to their current deep understanding and commitment, every challenge has strengthened their bond. This proposal, like a seed, has taken root and sprouted in their hearts, foreshadowing an even brighter future.
The strawberry cake under the cherry blossom tree became the sweetest chapter in their love story. In the days to come, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will walk hand in hand, creating their own happiness together. Because love can transcend all boundaries; because love can bind two people from different worlds together.
