They were back to the place where they had first watched the sunrise.
Just like before, there were still several couples on the mountain, young couples, still very sweet. But she no longer had to envy them.
She got off Night Owl's back and held his arm, "Are you okay? Are you tired?"
Night Owl grabbed her hand and placed it in his windbreaker pocket, "Not tired."
After that, he added: "You can still gain some weight. You are still too thin."
"Okay." After staying in the hospital for such a long time and surviving a near-death experience, it's hard not to lose weight.
Ye Xiao held her hand tighter. A cool breeze blew past, and she shrank. He opened his coat and pulled her into his arms. The man's chest was warm and solid, blocking all the wind and cold. Bai Suye pressed her face against his chest greedily, listening to his heartbeat, and hugged him tightly with both hands.
"Night Owl."
"Um?"
"When we get back to Judea, take me to see the fireworks."
"good."
"Every week."
"Okay." He had no power to refuse.
"Won't you get bored?"
"meeting."
"…" Bai Suye raised her head with a frown on her face. Was his answer too straightforward? "Then you promised me to go every week?"
because…
She watched the fireworks, but he watched her. No matter where he was, or what he was doing, as long as she was there, it would be fine.
Night Owl patted her shoulder and said, "Go to the observation deck and sit for a while. The sunrise will come out soon."
Changing the subject, Bai Suye was led by him to the observation deck.
———
A few hours later.
The sunrise penetrates the clouds and covers the entire mountain with golden color.
Ye Xiao felt a slight pain in his chest, but he didn't say anything, not wanting to spoil her fun.
"Night Owl, let's watch the sunrise once a year from now on, shall we?"
"… good."
Ye Xiao replied and held her on his lap. Bai Suye glanced at the others who were watching them with a smirk and whispered to Ye Xiao, "Put me down quickly, everyone is watching."
"Let them watch." Night Owl didn't care and grabbed her hand on his shoulder.
When Bai Suye was about to say something, she felt something cold on her fingertips. She was stunned for a moment, and then she could clearly feel something circling her fingers, passing over her knuckles, and landing on her fingers.
She realized something, her heart trembled slightly, and she looked at Night Owl, her eyes suddenly became moist.
Looking at her finger again, it was very clear in the morning light. It was a very simple ring, without complicated patterns or sparkling diamonds, simple yet elegant.
It carries very important meaning.
"Night Owl..." She murmured to him. A wave of heat gathered in her chest, surging, making her voice a little hoarse.
"You must do what you promised me. I will always remember it." She once said that she would marry him. Ten years later, he still hadn't forgotten it.
Bai Suye's eyes were moist and she looked at him with a smile, "Does this count as a proposal?"
"Um."
"How can you be like this? You didn't even say 'marry me'." It sounded like a complaint, but in fact, it was full of happiness. She was no longer a little girl and would not stick to a formalistic proposal. As long as the other party was him, she would be fine with everything.
Night Owl picked her up, put her on the observation deck, and turned his back to her. She immediately instinctively lay on his back and let him carry her. She only heard him say: "I said it ten years ago, and you agreed ten years ago. Now it's time for both of us to fulfill our promise."
"..." Bai Suye did not refute, but raised her hand and admired the ring. In the sunshine, she smiled brightly and her eyes were clear.
Night Owl carried her down the mountain.
After walking for a while, he suddenly called her: "Su Su..."
"Um?"
He whispered, "Marry me."
These three words didn't sound like a request for advice. The tone was as if she would marry him whether he agreed or not. There was no gorgeous confession or romantic ceremony, but it was so touching...
She felt a sore nose and red eyes at once. She buried her face in his neck and cried and laughed.
After a while, he finally uttered a "hmm". He subconsciously held him tightly with both hands.
"Does it take you so long to think about it?" he asked her deliberately.
She smiled and said, "Of course you have to think things through when it comes to big things in life."
He also raised his lips.
fine…
The two people have been going around in circles with each other for a full ten years. During these ten years, they have been tormented and painful, but they have never forgotten each other. The person they thought they would miss in this life, now, they will hold hands with each other for a lifetime.

As they walked along the way, Bai Suye realized something was wrong when they were almost down the mountain. His steps gradually slowed down, and his breathing became heavier.
"Night Owl?" Bai Suye called him.
He didn't respond.
There was a sharp pain in my chest.
Afraid of scaring her.
"Night Owl, put me down first!" She patted his shoulder nervously, "Put me down."
"We'll be there soon, don't move." His voice sounded much weaker.
"Night Owl!" She suddenly became afraid, her voice became shrill and choked with sobs.
“… Be good and listen to me.” He gritted his teeth, his voice trembling a little.
The more this happened, the more scared she became. "Put me down, let me see you..."
"I'm fine."
He endured the severe pain, but his body was in a desperate situation. When he could no longer hold on, his hands loosened weakly.
She slid off his back and supported him as he staggered.
That pale face made her heart ache, "Night Owl, how are you? Are you okay?"
"fine… "
He didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, so he adjusted his breathing and held her hand to continue walking down. However, his hands were so cold that they had no temperature at all, and his palms were immediately soaked with a layer of cold sweat.
His body and forehead were covered in cold sweat.
He slumped down, his face leaning weakly on her shoulder.
"Night Owl..." Seeing him like this, Bai Suye's voice trembled a little, and she became more scared than ever before. She held his face with shaking hands, and his face was so pale that tears fell out of her eyes.
Those tears made him feel heartbroken.
"Don't cry, Susu..."
"I won't cry, I didn't cry, but you promised me that you would hold on..." Her voice choked with sobs, she turned to face Ye Xiao, grabbed his arms, and put his hands on her shoulders, "I'll carry you down the mountain. I'll carry you to find Tang Song..."
Tears blurred my eyes.
At this moment, she didn't even know where she got the strength to support such a tall and strong man.
and…
She's not fully recovered yet.
At critical moments, human potential can always break through one's own limits.
"Susu, put me down, I can walk by myself..." He was worried about her health. Carrying him on her back was more strenuous than any other exercise.
