Pei Yansi snorted coldly but said nothing.
Yet the grip on her hand tightened inadvertently, as if declaring something.
Shen Heyu couldn’t be bothered to engage with him and silently followed him. After all this time, she had learned how to interact with this man, though most of the time, she still couldn’t help but get so irritated that she wanted to argue nonstop.
She followed him to a large park near the hotel.
At this time, right after dinner, the sky had turned dark, spilled like ink, and the city’s nightscape was famous—with towering skyscrapers and a milieu of red and green lights.
There were many people in the park, constantly rubbing shoulders as they came and went.
Pei Yansi kept hold of her hand, gripping it tightly as if he feared that as soon as he let go, she would be lost.
Shen Heyu’s fingers began to ache from his squeezing.
Inside the park, there were many people—old folks, kids, young adults—and quite a few stall vendors selling all sorts of trinkets. Shen Heyu watched quietly, finding it all very novel.
Seeing the childlike expression in her eyes, Pei Yansi couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Like something? I’ll buy it for you.”
They happened to be passing a cotton candy vendor.
Shen Heyu felt a little embarrassed by his comment, not expecting her interest to be so apparent and easily seen through by him. She said seriously, “I’m not a child anymore; I don’t like that stuff.”
“Really don’t like it?”
Pei Yansi looked at her stubborn demeanor, somewhat amused, “Then shall we go? Once we pass this village, there won’t be this shop.”
“Let’s go!” Shen Heyu retorted, not wanting to let him see her fondness for these little things.
Actually, those items weren’t that childish at all; they were quite pretty little hairclips and the like, along with some small sculptures.
She had always liked these things; otherwise, she wouldn’t have ordered a custom shirt for him with little fish sculpture buttons that she designed herself.
Amused by her behavior, Pei Yansi still pulled her over to a craft stall, which sold clay figurines that you could paint yourself, although some were already painted by the shopkeeper.
Pei Yansi asked her, “See anything you like?”
“You’re the one who asked me to choose, not for myself. It’s not because I like it.”
Shen Heyu still pretended to be indifferent.
Holding back his laughter, Pei Yansi responded, “Alright, pretend it’s something you’re choosing for me.”
Shen Heyu let go of his hand and carefully selected from the vendor’s goods. Her eye caught a clay sculpture of a little girl ballet dancer in a ballet pose.
The sculpture had already been colorfully painted by the owner, with the ballet skirt in red.
It gave off a sense of releasing dreams into flight.
She smiled and said, “This one.”
Pei Yansi looked at it, didn’t say anything, and reached for another clay piece. It was a fish.
He paid for both clay sculptures before pulling Shen Heyu away.
The two of them sat down on a bench inside the park.
Shen Heyu was entranced with the clay sculpture, examining it for a long while before she remembered to look at what Pei Yansi was holding. At a glance, she saw it was a fish.
She gave him a curious look, feeling as if he was making some kind of statement but said nothing and asked, “What are you trying to do by bringing me here, anyway?”
“Tonight, there’s a fireworks show. I’ve brought you here to see it,” Pei Yansi said, wrapping his arm around her.
The temperature difference between day and night was significant abroad, and at this time, it was still a bit cold. Coupled with the crowd, Shen Heyu didn’t struggle or refuse. To outsiders, the two appeared like lovers deep in a passionate romance.
Shen Heyu waited for a while. As the time at the hotel approached night, the tall building across erupted with incredibly beautiful fireworks.
Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, brilliantly colored. At the moment they exploded, they formed various small shapes, stunningly gorgeous.
Though fleeting, the beauty of that instant was forever etched in one’s heart.
Shen Heyu was captivated by the display.
In fact, during the six years she lived abroad alone with Yuexue, she occasionally saw fireworks. But the festive atmosphere overseas was less than back home, and every year she felt a bit melancholic.
Sometimes, she had thought about watching fireworks with Pei Yansi.
But she never expected that one day they really would, under such a fortuitous coincidence.
As she pondered, she suddenly noticed the fireworks in the sky paused for a while before exploding once more. This time, they were even more beautiful, the colors more brilliant, and when they burst open, they formed the shape of a small fish in the sky.
Unbelievably beautiful, the fireworks were blue.
Such a color in fireworks was quite rare, not to mention the different shapes each small fish took when they burst. The display quickly drew gasps of surprise and admiration from the surrounding crowd.
The tall buildings in the distance suddenly turned off their lights, and the city in front seemed to plunge into darkness in the blink of an eye. However, within a second, the lights rhythmically lit up again.
Others didn’t know what it was and thought it was just a part of the fireworks show.
But only Shen Heyu knew that the pattern of the lights spelled out her name, along with Pei Yansi’s marriage proposal.

Shen Heyu’s body abruptly stiffened.
The fish-shaped fireworks, along with the lighting of the tall buildings at this moment, made it not hard to imagine whose handiwork this was.
She felt Pei Yansi’s arms embrace her.
Shen Heyu looked up and met Pei Yansi’s eyes, warm with emotion, a softness rarely seen now, devoid of any coldness. The fireworks above seemed like stars, reflected in his eyes.
Making his eyes shine even brighter, he was already handsome, but now he looked like an enchanting male sprite, capturing one’s gaze irresistibly.
Shen Heyu felt momentarily dazed.
He lowered his head to her ear and said in a deep voice, “Heyu, marry me again. Marry me. I will make amends for all the past mistakes, bit by bit, to you and to our daughter.”
His voice was extremely gentle, more gentle than ever before.
Shen Heyu felt as if the sun had risen from the west. How could Pei Yansi prepare all this just for her?
She was silent, not speaking right away.
Pei Yansi was in no rush. He kissed her forehead and then pulled out a small, square box from his pocket.
He opened the box, revealing it to be a jewelry box, within which Shen Heyu clearly saw a ring.
The pattern on the ring was also a small fish, fashioned from blue diamonds, finely crafted, lifelike. If the ring were in water, she would think it was a real fish.
Pei Yansi took out the ring, reached for her hand, wanting to slide it onto her ring finger.
Shen Heyu, who had been lost in a daze, suddenly snapped back to reality. She quickly withdrew her hand, rejecting his ring.
She stood up abruptly and said, “I’m sorry. I have to go.”
People around her were still exclaiming over the rare sight of the fireworks, while her heart was in utter turmoil.
