If Gregory Xander’s comnt "she’s the only one" was sowhat implicit, then Ariel Zimrman’s straightforward response was like a public announcent, if not more so.
Normally, friends in the industry might chi in and join the fun.
But after Ariel’s post on Weibo, the internet remained unusually quiet.
Yet this tacit understanding made the aning seem all the more real.
At least, Ariel’s private ssages were about to explode.
Her agent even sent a 60-second voice ssage array, very bluntly expressing her breakdown and frenzy.
Ariel felt quite innocent about this.
"I’ve been very low-key already."
She hadn’t directly announced they were together.
She was giving them enough face.
However, when it’s ti to be ek, you have to be ek.
After finally appeasing her agent, Ariel received another ssage from Gregory Xander on her phone.
She opened it, and Ariel’s face lit up entirely.
Soone who had just been solemnly saying it was too late and inconvenient to et, now sent another ssage—
"Co to the hotel rooftop."
Even though it wasn’t convenient for a man and woman to et alone in a room, the hotel rooftop was fine.
Ariel was suddenly happy again, quickly got up to change her clothes, and didn’t forget to spend five minutes putting on a natural-looking makeup subtly.
Even if it seems casual, it must be exquisitely casual.
Ariel never took the matter of eting Gregory Xander lightly.
Just as she was about to grab her gear and head out, she saw that after Gregory Xander sent the previous ssage, he sent another.
"Bring the little paperman."
Ariel felt a bit puzzled, picking up the little paperman she had deliberately kept safe from the table.
She was curious about why Gregory Xander asked her to bring it, when suddenly the little paperman lying in her hand sat up abruptly as if activated.
Ariel’s eyes widened suddenly.
This little paperman, could it actually be alive like Scarlett’s?
Then she saw Gregory Xander had sent a voice ssage,
"I’ve remotely controlled a concealing incantation on the paperman, so when you take it with you outside, you won’t draw attention as long as you don’t deliberately expose yourself."
Ariel blinked, looking at the little paperman in her hand and the talisman paper in her other hand.
It was the concealing talisman paper she had bought from Scarlett, just to make it more convenient to go out without being watched occasionally.
Listening to Gregory Xander, Ariel decisively abandoned the talisman paper she got from Scarlett and took the little paperman out.
As Gregory Xander indicated, Ariel didn’t cover herself ticulously, but when she t people in the corridor, they passed by without even glancing.
Ariel held the little paperman in her hand intriguingly, following Gregory Xander’s instructions to take the elevator to the hotel’s top floor.
Logically speaking, the hotel’s rooftop would be intentionally locked and not open to the public.
But as Ariel stepped out of the elevator, she saw the rooftop’s wide-open door.
Stepping outside, it felt like passing through a kind of barrier.
Raising her eyes, she saw Gregory Xander standing in the center of the rooftop, looking at her.
Initially, he indeed wasn’t planning to have her co out so late.
But after seeing her Weibo post, Gregory Xander sowhat understood that urgent feeling of wanting to see her.
He wanted to see her too.
Even if it was just to talk face-to-face.
"I heard that paparazzi in the entertainnt industry can take photos through floors, so I’ve set up a barrier around the rooftop, and the two of us standing here won’t have to worry about being photographed."
Gregory Xander explained his arrangents thodically.
Since he’d asked her out, he naturally had to ensure it wouldn’t cause her any trouble.
Ariel looked around, seeing no trace of a barrier, but she believed in Gregory Xander’s words, delighted by his attentiveness.
Without hesitation, she jogged to his side and hugged him, then looked up and asked,
"So is it okay if I hold you like this?"
Gregory Xander found that after confirming their relationship, Ariel was more passionate and affectionate than before, though he didn’t dislike such intimacy. He only felt a bit awkward, so he nodded,
"Yes, it’s okay."
Ariel found him amusing this way and teased him until he pulled her to the edge of the rooftop.
Facing the city night view, Gregory suddenly fished around in his pocket.
Ariel instantly beca a bit nervous.
Just confirming their relationship today, could he be giving her a ring already?
But thinking about Gregory Xander’s family values, she also thought it wasn’t impossible.
For soone like Gregory Xander, dating must be with marriage in mind, right?
However, isn’t this a bit too fast?
In just two short seconds, Ariel’s mind turned over several tis, and finally, Gregory pulled her hand and placed sothing suddenly in her palm.
It wasn’t a ring.
Ariel couldn’t say whether she felt relieved or disappointed; when she looked down and saw the little item in her palm, she was startled.
It was... her cartoon figure.
A familiar custom figurine.
It was evidently... the one she used on that two-tiered cake.
But, how did it end up in his hand?
Ariel looked up, just to hear Gregory Xander speak solemnly,
"By the ti I arrived that day, you had already left.
Today happened so suddenly, I didn’t have ti to prepare another identical cake for you, but... that was your sentint, so I still wanted to tell you that your sentint had been received by before today."
Gregory Xander said,
"I agreed to be with you, and it was never on a whim."
He had seriously considered it and definitely felt moved by her, deciding to be with her.
He wasn’t a reluctant pursuit on her part.
He and she, it was always mutual.
Today and in the future, it would also be the sa.
After Gregory Xander finished speaking, he saw Ariel’s eyes redden again.
For a mont, he felt at a loss, thinking he had said sothing wrong again, or reminded her of previous sad experiences.
Just as he was about to explain, Ariel had already grabbed him.
With her eyes red, she plaintively asked him,
"You said there’s a barrier here, so no one can photograph us, right?"
Gregory Xander didn’t know why she reconfird this point, but still nodded seriously, "Yes."
Then she proceeded to ask,
"Then can I kiss you?"
Upon hearing this, Gregory Xander’s brain buzzed; he hadn’t even responded when the person in front of him lifted herself on tiptoes, hooked her arm around his neck, and unhesitatingly kissed him.
Above the rooftop, fireworks suddenly exploded beside them.
These were fireworks specifically set off and shot by a film city.
Their two almost overlapping figures were unexpectedly engulfed in dazzling fireworks.
The fireworks were gorgeous and brilliant, but not as much as the closeness of their hearts in this mont.
This night was perfect.
...
Sea City, Jennings Family.
Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs also saw the buzz online, selecting wedding invitation designs while gossiping,
"They’ve reconciled."
Samuel said, with a tone of certainty.
Scarlett nodded in agreent but said, "And it’s not just reconciliation."
It was clearly that they were together now.
Unlike Scarlett, Samuel didn’t have much of a close relationship with Gregory Xander or Ariel.
The reason he was interested was rely because they were good friends with Scarlett.
At this mont, he uncommonly expressed so acknowledgnt, "That’s great."
Hearing this, Scarlett naturally leaned her head on his shoulder, earnestly echoing, "It is great."
Xander also has soone who cares for him.
Speaking of this, Scarlett rembered the ssage Gregory Xander sent her during the day.
He ntioned mountain dragon energy colliding, what was that all about??
