Chapter 793: Chapter 793: The Most Romantic Proposal (23)

Ruby Gregory was taken aback by Steve Burton’s sudden announcement. Before she could even react, Steve, who had been standing beside her, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of her.

Ruby’s eyes widened in shock, staring at Steve. Her mouth opened in surprise and she quickly reached out, trying to help him up, when she suddenly heard someone shout, “Look at the big screen on the Grand Capital Hotel…”

Ruby subconsciously raised her head and saw their childhood pictures appearing on the big screen of the Grand Capital Hotel.

At that time, camera resolutions were not as high as they are now. When enlarged and projected onto the big screen, the picture seemed slightly blurry.

In the photo, Ruby had only just learned to walk. She had two ponytails and her big eyes were wide open, her mouth spread in a goofy smile.

Steve, three years older than her, wore a little blue suit with a red bow tie. He looked like a little gentleman with a childish face, hardly lifting his eyelids to look at the camera, an attitude of disdain.

...

After the two photos were displayed side by side on the big screen for nearly thirty seconds, they transformed under a special effect into butterflies, twirling, dancing, and dispersing, leaving behind a photo of Ruby and Steve as children at a banquet.

As their combined image twirled into being, a beautiful and melodious prelude suddenly played in mid-air above the street.

As the picture stopped spinning and enlarged itself, Maggie Chiang’s warm and tender voice started to sing: “How much youth is left in our hands, how much longing remains, enduring so much torment…”

Accompanying Maggie Chiang’s song, more photos of Ruby and Steve’s childhood appeared one by one.

“Occasionally, the comb we used left traces of time; I hope your world is well…”

In the pictures, Ruby and Steve’s ages gradually increased. When a photo of Ruby’s 6th birthday candle-blowing was displayed on the big screen, a layer of mist gradually appeared, obscuring the image. On the mist, elegant and powerful words floated, written with vigor and grace.

Ruby recognized the handwriting—it was Steve’s.

“1990, you suddenly appeared in my life like an angel.”

“1991, I learned that your name is Ruby Gregory.”

“1992, you called me Brother Steve for the first time.”

“1993, you became a part of my life.”

“1994, you were an annoying yet warm shadow that followed me everywhere.”

“1995, I became your senior in elementary school.”

As each new line appeared, the color of the previous line faded. When the line for 1995 appeared, Maggie Chiang’s song suddenly stopped and was replaced by Steve’s clear voice: “From 1991 to 1995, during that time, we didn’t understand love, but you filled my entire childhood.”

As Steve’s words settled, the big screen suddenly went dark. Three seconds later, Maggie Chiang’s song resumed and more pictures of a young Ruby and Steve appeared on the screen.

“When I think of your smile, I unintentionally reread that year’s love letters. Time passes slowly, youth gradually fades, and we can’t return to the wonderful time when we knew and loved each other. Those memories shine on the yellowing pages of those letters.”
