The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

In an instant, the colorful spotlights went out.

The crowd, which had been chattering away, suddenly fell silent.

The entire place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Even the wind stopped, gently swirling down fallen leaves, unwilling to break the silence.

Amidst everyone's expectant gaze, a cool white light shone, illuminating the ethereal young woman on the stage.

Immediately afterwards, melodious piano music came from the speakers.

The pure timbre and flowing melody paint a beautiful picture with sound.

In the painting, a girl holding a fairy tale book sits gracefully atop a crescent moon.

A sense of tranquility, as if lost in memories, swept through the entire venue.

"I've forgotten how long it's been since I last heard from you."

Tell me your favorite story.

......

It's Michael Wong's "Fairy Tale".

As the girl's soft voice sang, the audience swayed gently to the melody.

When she sang the chorus, Xu Xi, who had kept her eyes closed, slowly opened her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Her gentle gaze was fixed on the young man in a suit below the stage.

"I wish I could become the angel you love in a fairy tale."

"Spread your arms, and they will become wings to protect you."

"You must believe, believe that we will be like in fairy tales."

"Happiness and joy are the ending."

Her voice seemed to possess a magical power, capable of soothing all the bitterness and sorrow of the world.

One by one, the lights came on, transforming into blooming snow lotuses, supporting the beautiful girl in the center of the stage.

Amidst the misty haze and flowing robes, Xu Xi at this moment seemed to have truly transformed into an angel descended to earth from a fairy tale.

The melodious and ethereal singing created ripples on the shimmering river surface.

The tourist boats sailing on the river also stopped sounding their horns.

They slowed down, quietly appreciating the exquisite performance.

"I want to become the angel you love in the fairy tale."

"Spread your arms, and they will become wings to protect you."

"You must believe, believe that we will be like in fairy tales."

"Happiness and joy are the ending."

Xu Xi stretched out her fair, white hand and waved it slowly in rhythm.

With each repetition of the chorus lyrics, her voice grew more and more passionate.

Brother, before I met you, my life was bleak.

It was with your reliable shoulders that you lifted me up from the mud, giving me a warm home and the opportunity to look up at the sky.

Now, the fledgling on your shoulder can soar through the sky.

From now on, let me be your angel, spreading my wings to protect you.

During the repeated choruses, someone started singing along, and the audience joined in, following Xu Xi's rhythm.

"I will become the angel you love in the fairy tale."

"Spread your arms, and they will become wings to protect you."

"You must believe, believe that we will be like in fairy tales."

"Happiness and joy are the ending."

Let's write our ending together!

As the piano music abruptly stopped, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Xu Xi didn't rush off the stage. She nervously adjusted her breathing, as if she was preparing for something important.

Xu Nian stood below the stage, looking up at the girl on the stage.

The ugly duckling that was once covered in dust has transformed into a magnificent swan.

Looking up, one is greeted by dazzling starlight; turning around, one is met with applause and cheers.

She was so dazzling, like a pure and holy snow lotus blooming brilliantly, radiating boundless light.

"Wow! This girl is amazing! She's rich, beautiful, and talented. I wonder which boy she's sending this song as a love letter to."

"If a girl like that could like you, that would truly be a blessing from your past life."

Amidst the commotion, the spotlight was once again turned off.

The girl's heart was pounding like a deer.

"Thump, thump..."

Through the microphone and the sound system, the sound clearly reached the boy's ears.

"From the first day I met you, everything I've done has been an effort to get closer to you."

"I love you, not like a butterfly loves a flower, but like the stars guarding the night sky. I wish I could use all my light to support you every day and night."

"I love you, not with the vague dependence of kinship, but with the love of wanting to be your wife, to be the only person who will accompany you for the rest of your life, so that from now on, we can share a house, meals, and the four seasons, all of which will be us."

The spotlight suddenly turned on, flashing two dazzling white lights.

A beam of light shone down on the feet of the girl on the stage.

A bouquet of pure white roses appeared in her arms.

Her exquisitely beautiful face showed anticipation, nervousness, excitement, and unease.

Another ray of light converged around Xu Nian.

At that moment, his mind went completely blank.

A young girl holding flowers strolled down the steps, step by step, slowly approaching the boy she loved.

"Together! Together! Together!"

Wearing a restaurant uniform, Wen Yao shouted at the top of her lungs in the crowd.

The host on stage clapped and cheered loudly.

"Together! Together!"

Once the voice changer was removed, Qi Yu's highly distinctive voice was completely exposed.

Backstage, Zhao Lin slowly rose from beside the piano, came to the front of the stage, clasped her hands tightly, and silently watched the girl running towards love.

"Together! Together! Together!..."

Once someone takes the lead, a hundred people will follow.

In an instant, the entire square was filled with the shouts of "Together!"

Why...why is this happening?

Xu Nian's eyes widened, her mouth trembling as she murmured incessantly.

The hugs that have become routine, the kisses that are asked for every day.

He always tried to explain for Xu Xi in his heart that it was just that she lacked a sense of security and was dependent on him.

He never dreamed that Xu Xi, whom he regarded as a younger sister, would confess her feelings to him in public.

Even her friends joined in to hide the truth and went along with Xu Xi's antics.

No wonder, no wonder Xu Xi dressed up so beautifully today.

No wonder... no wonder he made himself wear a suit.

The cake given as a gift by the restaurant appeared at just the right time on the street stage.

Everything was a carefully orchestrated scheme.

Lies...it's all lies!

He struggled to speak, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. He watched helplessly as the radiant young woman walked towards him step by step.

The angel stopped in front of the boy and placed the flowers in his arms into his hands.

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Xiaoxi... calm down, this is a joke, right?"

"No, I'm very serious. This has always been my biggest wish."

"Together! Together! Together!"

The surrounding crowd cheered loudly and clapped their hands rhythmically.

Some of them may have been pre-arranged actors, but most were just ordinary people who came to join in the fun.

Without exception, they all wanted to witness this pair of lovers become a perfect match and live happily ever after.

They surrounded them, completely blocking their way, as if they wouldn't let Xu Nian leave unless she agreed.

Xu Nian took a deep breath: "Let's go somewhere else to talk."

Immediately afterwards, he pushed through the crowd, took the girl's hand, and walked away into the distance.

"The young man was even embarrassed, hahaha!"

"Oh well, I can understand! Young people these days are all shy."

"Is he planning to find a secluded place to refuse me?"

"How could that be? That girl is so outstanding. If a girl like that confessed to me, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to my feelings..."

The onlookers didn't stop them, making way for them to leave.

"What should we do?"

Wen Yao, Qi Yu, and Zhao Lin exchanged glances, and a bad feeling rose in their hearts.

"Hurry and follow them to see!"
