"Why is the theater so empty?"
Chyou asked as they made their way towards a screen devoid of any people.
"It's a date and I thought to enjoy a private screening with my girlfriend," he smiled. "And now that Cheng Yin is gone, it's time to celebrate."
Her eyes shone. "Absolutely!"
They entered the VIP screen where large, comfortable recliners were placed equidistantally. Soft yellow lights guided them the way. They took the center seats and the lights soon dimmed.
"What are we going to watch?" Chyou eagerly asked.
"I always wanted to enjoy the movie we worked together in privately with you."
"How can you read my mind? I was thinking to have a movie date just like this one~"
As the film rolled on the screen, it had their full attention once the credits part was over. The scenes that played before Chyou took her into a trance as she walked down that memory lane.
She sobbed emotional tears. "I feel so proud. That's the end product of my efforts."
"Hm?" He tilted his head.
"Training you, I mean," she sniffled. "You did such a fine job. I feel like a proud mother hen."
"..."
His mouth twitched hard.
"That's the famous pendant scene!" She exclaimed joyfully.
Then came the walk in the garden scene where Yating smiled at her. "I remember how the mother hen was struggling in this part."
She coughed. It was the day when Jun, Ai and the gang came to visit the set and Chyou made back to back mistakes in following the script.
"I am telling you, that was your fault only," she cleared her throat.
"Suuuure," he snorted.
"S-Shut up. Who told you to make me so happy? Everything is overflowing. Ah my patience is finally rewarded..." she cried. "We can finally go further than just making out!"
"..."
The ring box was very close to slipping off his hand.

"That's your point?"
"That's the main point, you dummy! Do you know how envious I felt when I listened to Ai and Leina telling their passionate bedroom stories to me? I had such limited stories to share with them! I felt so left out. But now my time to shine will come too!"
He choked out hard but he was very close to choking blood too.
"You ladies...just what do you talk about in your pajama parties?" His jaw dropped in speechlessness.
"Boyfriends, husbands and hush-hush stuff," she said in a matter of fact tone. "Don't act like you don't do the same in your men's version of pajama parties?" She looked at him suspiciously.
He gave her a dry look. "...We don't."
She gasped in shock. "That's the whole life of the party!"
"..."
"My dream has finally come true now," she shed heartfelt tears and immediately brought her left hand forward. "Quick, quick! Put the ring on!"
Yating had completely different expectations with how this proposal would go down but Chyou was Chyou after all. Always bringing the unexpected.
He burst into laughter and slid the ring in her ring finger.
"So pretty! As expected of my boy- oops, my future husband of his choice~ First the pendant and now the ring."
Chyou dropped her body into his embrace and crashed her lips on his. Yating grabbed her head and kissed her back with the same fervor that tickled their veins of their beautiful future to come.
After a long and breathless kiss, Chyou whispered, "This has been the world's best proposal. I love you."
He kissed her lips again and smiled. "I love you too."
