Chapter 40: The Blossoming of Love

During the town's revival, the love between Irene and Hawk gradually bloomed into a beautiful flower. They worked together, lived together, supported and accompanied each other.One day, Hawk took Irene to the mountaintop they often visited when they were children. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, stretching their shadows long. On the mountaintop, the breeze gently blew, and the flowers and grass swayed, as if the whole world was blessing their love.

Hawk took out a ring from his pocket, knelt down on one knee, and looked at Irene affectionately.

"Irene, I love you. Will you marry me and spend every day of the future with me?" His voice trembled slightly, due to nervousness and anticipation, and also his longing for a better future life.

Tears of happiness glistened in Irene's eyes. She nodded vigorously and said, "I do." Her voice was full of joy and firmness, a promise of love.

Hawk gently put the ring on Irene's finger, then stood up and hugged her tightly. In the glow of the setting sun, their figures looked so sweet and happy. Thereafter, they advanced hand in hand, going further and further on the path of pursuing justice, becoming a symbol of justice and love in people's hearts. Their story tells people that justice and love are the most beautiful powers in the world, and they will always light up the way forward for people.
