The scent grew stronger, and the sound of firecrackers echoed sporadically through the streets. The Big Red Lantern swayed gently in the wind, filling the air with a festive atmosphere. Lin Xiao Yu and Lu Zean walked hand in hand, making their way back to Guangzhou. Although Lu Zean appeared calm on the surface, his heart raced like thunder, his palms sweaty as he repeatedly pondered over a significant decision.
As soon as they stepped through the door, Lu Zean was too anxious to brush off the dust from his clothes or organize his luggage. He hurriedly pulled his parents to sit on the slightly worn wooden sofa. Swallowing hard, he wore a serious expression and said, "Mom, Dad, from the moment I first laid eyes on Lin Xiao Yu, my heart was set. Throughout our time together, through wind and rain, ups and downs, her optimism, resilience, and passion for dance have touched me time and again. I often think that if she’s not by my side for the rest of my life, everything would lose its color. I’m determined; I want to propose to her and bring her into my life. I want to wake up every morning to see her first and tuck her in at night before sleep. No matter how busy I am in the future, I will make time to accompany her for dance practice and performances. If she feels tired or wronged, I will be her strongest support and will never let her shed a single tear."
Hearing this, Lu Zean's parents felt their eyes welling up with tears as they exchanged glances filled with smiles. His mother wiped her eyes and spoke first: "Son, we’ve known your feelings for Lin Xiao Yu for a while now. That girl is sensible and outstanding; she always remembers to bring us little gifts during holidays. She is dedicated to dance and has such ambition that we genuinely like her and fully support you!"
With his parents' blessing, Lu Zean wasted no time and chose a sunny day to visit Lin Xiao Yu's parents. Standing at their door, he clenched his clothes tightly and took several deep breaths before knocking. Song Ying and Lin Wufeng welcomed him warmly into their home. Feeling awkward and blushing, Lu Zean rubbed his hands together and blurted out his intentions: "Uncle, Auntie, I'm quite nervous today. After spending so much time with Lin Xiao Yu, I love her wholeheartedly. I know how hard she works for dance; from now on, I’ll take care of everything at home so she can focus without worries. If she wants to compete or perform elsewhere, I'll be there every step of the way—carrying bags and cheering her on. I sincerely want to marry her and will treat her well for a lifetime; I hope you can support me."
Lin Xiao Yu's parents were initially taken aback but soon showed appreciative smiles. Lin Wufeng stepped forward confidently and patted Lu Zean on the shoulder: "Alright! Young man, it’s clear you’re reliable; we trust you. You must keep your word and treat her well."
After leaving Lin Xiao Yu's home, Lu Zean was filled with joy, completely focused on planning the proposal. The Spring Festival arrived as expected; as night fell, the sounds of firecrackers and laughter from neighbors intertwined in the air. Lu Zean used the excuse of taking Lin Xiao Yu out to see the fireworks and led her into the yard. Fireworks from neighboring houses shot up into the night sky with colorful bursts that left Lin Xiao Yu in awe.
At that moment, Lu Zean's carefully prepared segment began. The old projector in the corner of the yard whirred to life, displaying precious moments since they met: their first date sharing an ice cream on a park bench while shyly looking at each other; Lin Xiao Yu crying after a competition loss while Lu Zean held her tightly in comfort; and their warm scenes of clumsily cooking dinner together in a cramped kitchen.
