550 The Ring Of Your Name
One might argue that Darren\'s proposal came too abrupt. Of course, it came out of nowhere for Xiu as well. She never would have thought that one day she\'d feel this kind of indescribable feeling. As Darren had said, the place or things never really mattered to her. Since she wanted to be a simple-minded person, she really loved simple things.
But calling this proposal simple would be wrong. Considering how it was close to fall and how difficult it was to find fireflies in this weather. And let\'s not forget how she believed that he caught all these fireflies himself. Looking around the room, it looked so beautiful and romantic. It was as if they had a tiny milky way of their own inside the room.
However, to Xiu, it wasn\'t those lightening bugs that lit up the room. It was those gray eyes boring into hers that seemed to be brightening everything. Just as she said, she would be content just looking into this pair of eyes for a lifetime then how could she say no to him?
"Why aren\'t you saying anything?" Darren shook her knees a little to get back her attention since she seemed to be in a daze.
Xiu licked the blood off of her lip as she said, "Why aren\'t you putting the ring on?"
"Huh?" Darren was dumbfounded by her reaction.
She took his hand and guided it to put the ring on while saying, "Are you seriously waiting for a yes?" He nodded his head. Xiu extended her arms to hug his neck and jumped on him. His body fell back on the thick carpet along with her laying on him. "Why is there even a need to ask that stupid question? Wasn\'t it clear that it\'s a yes? You should have just put the ring on my finger. Why waste so much time talking so much nonsense."
"Do you think I was talking nonsense?"
Xiu buried her face into his neck and only then did Darren felt something wet on his skin. That\'s when he realized that she was crying. His arms around her waist that were originally there to support her body, now tightened. "If it isn\'t nonsense how come it made me cry?"
Darren chuckled softly as he lifted one hand to caress her head saying, "Sweets, I\'m sorry for making you cry but I felt like I needed to say it." He took a deep breath and added, "Today when you mentioned how you\'re scared I might dislike the way you\'re changing, I couldn\'t help thinking over. I love you and there is no way this love would change in any condition. And when I\'m certain about this love of mine than the only thing left to do is getting married to you. I know I want to make you my forever and I know I want to cherish you in each day of that forever!"
How was one supposed to get over that deep shadow?
She knew that Darren was different but so what? It\'s in human nature. Everyone\'s feelings end up changing. There was nothing certain in this world and she knew that reality very well.
The biggest problem with her was that she was too realistic. Perhaps, this was the reason that even after so many years, this out of body experience of transmigration seemed bizarre to her. Her realistic nature was the reason she had been hurt so many times in her past life.
"Now do you believe that I\'d never leave you?" he asked gently.
Xiu rolled over and sat beside him as she said, "I never had any doubt. It\'s just that the more I trusted you, the bigger my fear was getting without my knowledge. Even when I pressed it down, it\'ll eventually subconsciously try to come out." She took his hand in her own and added, "I truly never doubted your feelings. If I did, I wouldn\'t be carrying this with me."
Darren furrowed his brows when she showed him a ring saying, "Originally, I didn\'t just run to you because I was missing you." Darren\'s heart thumped loudly as she continued, "I came here because I wanted to pop this question. Since I was the one who first suggested that we should date, I was the first to say I like you. I was also the one who fell in love first. Then I wanted to be the first to ask this question as well. But who knew you\'re thinking about the same thing."
Darren was just staring at the ring that she put on his finger calmly before wiping her tears and smiling brightly once again. "I suddenly realized that it was never a competition. You proposing first or me doing it, either way the conclusion is that we both want to spend this lifetime with each other." She giggled to herself as she went on, "I don\'t mind giving you a shelter in my heart but you better make your arms my home. My only home. Although we have some beautiful and unforgettable memories, we still have a long way to go. And I want to fill this long journey with the memories of us. You and me. There is no one else allowed."
Darren was feeling at a loss now. What was he supposed to say to this stubborn girl? Even if one knew that her train of thoughts didn\'t take the normal route, it was hard to process this. She really liked doing everything on her own.
"Won\'t you ask whether I want to marry you or not?" he questioned while kissing her hands.
"I won\'t," she answered. "Call me whatever but I already know that my Regan won\'t say no. I never intended to ask that question. As I said, if I\'m willing to put the ring of your name on my finger, what\'s there to explain?"
Darren ended up laughing at her reply while he kissed her face.
