Ask you again

In the middle of the lake, the glowing paper lanterns that took the shape of a lotus flower floated around the wooden boat.

Yue Ling sat in the seat she had first sat when she got on the boat. However, Lu Tian remained positioned on one knee in front of her.

She stares at him with trembling eyes and didn't know how to make out the situation. She had been so focused on the many glowing lanterns that had suddenly appeared that she didn't even hear him move. Even the boat didn't rock at his movements.

Her eyes glisten more as she was barely able to hold back her tears.

"Tian, what are you doing?

Knowing he had surprised her, Lu Tian reaches to take her left hand without moving his eyes away from her.

"Yue Ling, I cannot promise you heaven and earth, but I am willing to go against heaven and earth for you."

He gently caresses the back of her hand with his thumb and he sighs a faint smile.
