One might argue that Darren's proposal came too abrupt. Of course, it came out of nowhere for Xiu as well. She never would have thought that one day she'd feel this kind of indescribable feeling. As Darren had said, the place or things never really mattered to her. Since she wanted to be a simple-minded person, she really loved simple things.
But calling this proposal simple would be wrong. Considering how it was close to fall and how difficult it was to find fireflies in this weather. And let's not forget how she believed that he caught all these fireflies himself. Looking around the room, it looked so beautiful and romantic. It was as if they had a tiny milky way of their own inside the room.
However, to Xiu, it wasn't those lightening bugs that lit up the room. It was those gray eyes boring into hers that seemed to be brightening everything. Just as she said, she would be content just looking into this pair of eyes for a lifetime then how could she say no to him?
