549 Will You Marry Me? (1/2)

The sleep that came quickly also went back quickly.

It was around midnight when her eyes opened on its own. However, the bright lights in the room made her squint her eyes.

Did she forget to turn off the lights before sleeping?

While she kept staring at the ceiling with a strange look, the bed dipped down and she instinctively smiled when she saw her Regan sitting beside her. She didn't even know when he came back?

”Did I wake you up?” He caressed his hair softly as he asked.

”No,” answered Xiu honestly since she really didn't wake up because of any noise. She just woke up without knowing why. ”When did you come back?”

”About an hour ago,” said Darren.

”Huh? Why aren't going to bed then?”

Darren pursed his lips as if contemplating before he said, ”I was gonna wake you up after setting things up but since you're already up...”

”What do you mean?” Xiu's brows knitted up as she watched him getting up from her side and going over towards the glass windows. As he drew the curtains, it confused Xiu even more. And her confusion reached the peak when he turned the lights off as well leaving the room in pitch-black darkness. ”Regan? What are you doing? I can't see any...”

Her words got stuck in her mouth as something floating around caught her attention. Those tiny glimmers of light... Was it an illusion or was she really able to see fireflies around her? But how was it possible?

However, whether she could believe her eyes or not, there were indeed hundreds of fireflies dancing around her. As if possessed, Xiu also sat up and looked around as a wide smile spread on her lips. One thing that hadn't changed in her life was her fondness with these small glimmers of lights that lit up like fire and seemed to burn down the darkness of the night.

”You know I have thought about it for way too long.”
