"The moment I met you, even the dazzling sunset faded beside you. You alone are my private twilight."
1.
Wen Shuying had lived in her new home for three months without ever meeting the legendary elite neighbor across the hall.
That evening, she was carrying a takeout bowl of spicy hot pot upstairs when the elevator doors opened and a tall man stood before her.
He wore a simple white shirt, every inch of it perfectly pressed.
The setting sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the eyes behind his half-rimmed glasses.
Wen Shuying met his gaze and blurted out, "Want to have spicy hot pot with me?"
The man stopped mid-step. His eyebrows lifted slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he replied, "N-next time."
2.
The day Mr. and Mrs. Wen arrived unexpectedly at Wen Shuying's new home, she was making good on her "next time" hot pot date with Lu Yizhen.
Knowing her parents had surely found another blind date for her, she looked at the man across from her, whose cheeks had turned red from the spicy hot pot, and suddenly came up with a new way to handle things.
She cupped her cheeks and smiled at him, her bright eyes full of innocence.
"Lu Yizhen."
"Hm?"
"The hot pot's good, isn't it?"
"Mm."
"Then you can repay me."
"How about marrying me?"
Just like the first time they met, Lu Yizhen fell silent, his gaze deep and unreadable.
Wen Shuying immediately felt she'd been too forward. She gave an awkward laugh, trying to play it off as a joke.
But Lu Yizhen stood up without a word, went into his room, then returned with a black document folder.
"My papers are all in here. When should we go to the civil affairs bureau?"
3.
After seeing her parents off, Wen Shuying thought she could finally relax.
Instead, Lu Yizhen started knocking on her door all the time.
"Ms. Wen, I made a little too much food today. Let's eat together so it doesn't go to waste."
"Wen Shuying, I forgot my keys. Can I stay at your place tonight?"
"Honey, I'm sick. I want a hug."
Wen Shuying: "?"
