You're My Everything for the Rest of My Life

The anime on TV was still playing, and the cicadas outside the window were still chirping tirelessly.

The warm orange light slanted down on Lu Yan, who was kneeling on one knee, and illuminated the ring in the dark blue velvet box in his hand, making it look like a handful of miniature starlight.

Aemeath sat on the sofa, looking down at Lu Yan, who was kneeling solemnly before her.

The warm orange light softly outlined his broad shoulders and illuminated his dazzling golden eyes.

In those golden eyes, at this very moment, nothing was reflected, only her, weeping uncontrollably.

Aemeath's eyes were now blurred with a torrent of tears. Though her vision was hazy, Lu Yan's face was clearer in her heart than ever before.

In that instant, time seemed to rewind in Aemeath's mind.

Those relentless searches, and after arriving in this world, in this old town courtyard filled with the warmth and life of everyday life, every ordinary yet passionate day and night they spent together.

'Finally... it's here.'

Recalling the days when they first met, A-Yan, who would blush at the slightest touch or teasing, now stood bravely before her, transforming all the courage and tenderness of his life into the small ring on his hand.

A bittersweet warmth exploded in Aemeath's heart.

"I do..."

Aemeath's voice trembled, thick with sobs.

She had tried her best to maintain her composure as a bride-to-be, and to give an elegant and calm smile, but the moment the tears fell, all her pretense crumbled.

She stopped holding back and large tears streamed down her fair cheeks, landing on the little pink cat pillow she was holding to her chest.

But at that moment, the corners of her mouth turned up high, blossoming into a smile more radiant and beautiful than ever before.

That smile, mixed with the glistening tears welling up in her eyes, was breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that Lu Yan completely held his breath.

"I do!" she shouted, raising her voice as if to announce it to the whole world, to the entire universe.

"I, Aemeath, am willing to be Lu Yan's wife! Forever, forever A-Yan's wife!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan's slightly tense back completely relaxed.

He let out a long breath, and his eyes visibly reddened.

Amy's bright golden eyes gazed affectionately at Lu Yan.

She took a deep breath and tremblingly extended her left hand to Lu Yan.

It was a flawless hand, with slender fingers and skin as white as jade.

At this moment, the hand is slightly suspended in mid-air, with its five fingers slightly spread, as if waiting for something.

She didn't speak again, but gazed at Lu Yan with her tear-filled eyes, her gaze full of undisguised expectation, waiting for his next move.

Lu Yan looked up to meet her gaze. In that instant, without any verbal exchange, Lu Yan understood the meaning in her eyes.

Lu Yan finally couldn't help but smile.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his own heart, which was also pounding wildly.

Then, he reached his right hand into the dark blue velvet box and pinched the platinum ring between his thumb and forefinger.

The moment the ring left the box, the forget-me-not vines outlined in rose gold on it seemed to come alive.

As Lu Yan touched it with his fingertips, the golden Frequency that he had already infused into it began to emit an extremely faint yet pure golden light.

Lu Yan's movements were very slow, as if time had stood still.

He lowered his head slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Aemeath's slender ring finger. Holding the ring in his right hand, he slowly, very slowly, moved it towards her fingertip.

"Aemeath, once you put it on, there will be no going back~" Lu Yan's golden eyes revealed undisguised possessiveness.

Aemeath didn't speak, but shook her head frantically, then nodded hard, her eyes fixed on the ring in his hand, her face full of impatience.

Lu Yan chuckled gently. He lowered his head slightly, took her wrist in his hand, and aimed the ring at Aemeath's empty left ring finger.

The moment the cool platinum interior touched Aemeath's warm fingertips, both of them shuddered slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yan began to push the ring in little by little.

The cool metal brushed against her delicate skin. With every millimeter it was pushed in, Aemeath could clearly feel the familiar Frequency within the ring, the same Frequency as the amulet.

The ring slid past the first knuckle, then past the second.

The ring slid down her smooth knuckles, inch by inch, along her delicate skin, until it finally fit snugly and securely at the base of her ring finger.

The size is absolutely perfect.

The moment the ring was fully on, the "Lu Yan & Aemeath" inscription, cut out from the inner wall, adhered to Aemeath's skin.

The moment the ring was completely on, Aemeath felt a tingling, throbbing sensation in her heart.

This feeling of completely belonging to A-Yan made her feel as if she were soaking in a jar of warm honey.

Sweet.

A sweetness that defies description.

This sweet sensation quickly spread from the base of her ring finger throughout her body, causing Aemeath's lips to uncontrollably curl upwards.

She lowered her head, looking at the ring that shone brightly under the warm orange light, then looked up at Lu Yan in front of her and grinned foolishly.

Her smile was so sweet, so uninhibited.

The pink tuft of hair on her head drew cheerful circles in the air with her laughter.

Although her eyes still held wet tears, they shone with a light more dazzling than the summer sun.

Seeing her laughing and crying at the same time, Lu Yan's heart melted.

He supported himself on his knees and slowly stood up from the carpet.

As he stood up, he instantly cast a shadow in front of the sofa, completely enveloping Aemeath was wearing a pink silk slip dress.

Lu Yan didn't rush to do anything else, but instead leaned down slightly, closing the distance between them.

He reached out his right hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears from the corner of Aemeath's eye with the pad of his index finger.

"Don't cry, or the little pink kitten will turn into a little tabby kitten." His voice became very deep and resonant, filled with an intoxicatingly doting affection.

"Mind your own business! They're just happy... you big idiot." Aemeath sniffed and snorted.
