And the day before his flight to the UK, his grandmother arranged a small party for him, and his best friend, Lin Fan, was also invited.
Even though Lin Fan was simply a prankster, whenever he was in front of Xiao's grandmother, his entire demeanor changed. During the entire party, he acted like a good, innocent, shy person who knew nothing about the world.
Xiao was really dumbfounded seeing his friend acting like that. Nonetheless, he didn't say anything about it and pretended that this was completely normal. Anyway, he couldn't just expose his best friend like that, right?
After the party, both of them set off for the UK the next day. When they were leaving, his grandmother came to see them off. After that, three years went by, and Xiao was in his final year.
His university life could be said to be somewhat interesting. He also made some new friends. Some of them were truly worth remembering.
Such as two brothers, one black and the other white, along with some other people with strange personalities who were worth mentioning as well. After that, during his graduation ceremony, something unexpected happened.
Or rather...What he had been hoping for had finally happened.
Because right after his graduation ceremony, when he was walking out of the university, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of his car. She wore a gothic red dress.
Her hair was as black as a raven's feathers. She had a pair of blood-red eyes that he was very familiar with. Holding a huge bouquet of roses, she stood there indifferently.
Xiao was completely shocked upon seeing her. He froze. His eyes widened slightly as he couldn't understand what was going on.
Of course, he knew who this woman was. She was the person he would never forget. The woman who had appeared in countless dreams. The person who made him feel more alive and blessed.
His one and only love...Xi Hong.
Seeing Xiao standing there frozen, Xi Hong smiled slightly as the corners of her lips curved upward, making her look even more beautiful and breathtaking.
Her smile caused many passersby to stop and look at them, while others even started taking pictures. Xi Hong approached Xiao.
When she reached him, she waved her hand in front of his face, bringing him out of his daze before handing him the flowers.
"Congratulations on your graduation, Xiao."
Her voice was gentle and comforting, making anyone who heard it feel as though they were listening to a mother's lullaby.
Xiao blinked.
"Uh... yes, sure, but!"
He looked at her with a conflicted expression. Xiao face was filled with curiosity and confusion.
There were countless things he wanted to ask. Hundreds of questions stormed through his mind. But before he could say anything...
Xi Hong looked into his eyes.
"I know there are many things you want to say and many things you're dying to ask right now. Before I left, I told you to wait for me."
She smiled.
"And you did. Not only do you not have a girlfriend, but you also don't have any inappropriate relationship with any other woman either. For that, I am really glad and grateful to you. You are the only man in this world who managed to steal my heart. I know you have many questions right now about me, my background, my family, and where I have been during these years. But before that..."
She stared directly into his eyes.
"Let me ask you something first."
She suddenly got down on one knee in a proposing position.
Then she took out an extremely premium and luxurious black box from her pocket and opened it. Inside was an extremely premium and expensive black diamond ring coated with platinum.
Just by looking at it, Xiao could tell that it was worth at least millions of dollars.
Looking at the diamond ring and the luxurious black dress Xi Hong was wearing, Xiao could only think of one thing.
'Damn! She's rich! Uh... no, filthy rich! Ah yes, that's more like it.'
Holding the diamond ring in her hand, Xi Hong raised it in front of Xiao as she spoke again. Her voice was calm and serious.
"Will you marry me, my dear Xiao?"
Xiao was stunned.
His heart began to beat faster as he looked at Xi Hong proposing to him just after they had reunited following so many years apart.
She didn't give him any chance to prepare. She had completely caught him off guard.
He had imagined their reunion many times. Some were more dramatic than others. But never in his wildest dreams had he imagined it would turn out like this.
This was simply too much for him! Xi Hong's completely unpredictable proposal had caught him entirely off guard.
On the other hand, a small crowd had gathered in front of the university gate, watching the young couple. Because Xiao's car was parked near the university entrance, many people had gathered there, discussing and whispering among themselves.
The sudden and unexpected sight of a beautiful woman proposing to a handsome young man with silver white hair had completely caught them off guard.
Chaos erupted among the crowd as they whispered frantically to one another.
"What!? Damn, that's so cool!"
"A beautiful lady is proposing to a handsome young man? That's so lovely! Is this Romeo and Juliet in real life? What kind of love story must they have had for that lady to willingly propose to her lover?"
"They're so lucky. Just looking at them makes me jealous."
"Man, I'm single! Looking at this makes me feel like I've eaten a mouthful of sugar. Damn it."
"True, same here, bro. I feel like I've eaten an entire bag of cotton candy. Now I have cavities."
"I hate couples."
"What!?"
"Goddamn, they look so perfect! Holy shit!"
Many of those people were taking pictures of them, while others were already posting them on social media.
Inside the university, near the entrance, Lin Fan, along with Xiao's other friends, was also walking toward the gate.
All of them were still wearing their graduation ceremony attire.
