The Divination Commission, unlit, appeared exceptionally dark! If one were inside, perhaps they wouldn't even be able to see the path.
But the Grand Diviner's office was illuminated by a soft pink glow!
The candles Selene bought were specifically chosen to be pink, as Fu Xuan quite liked the color.
And it was thanks to this being Xianzhou, using who knows what method, even the candle flames themselves were a pale pink!
After lighting the candles, Selene stood quietly in the middle of them, holding a bouquet of 'flowers,' silently awaiting Fu Xuan's arrival... At the same time, Fu Xuan had also prepared the scene and was about to go to the Divination Commission to pick up the cat!
Having received Bai Ling's message in advance, Fu Xuan did not go to the Archives but went directly to her office.
However, halfway there, Fu Xuan unexpectedly passed by the spot where Qing Que was hiding!
But at this moment, Fu Xuan's heart was preoccupied with someone, so she did not notice Qing Que secretly watching from the corner.
Qing Que: Phew! Good thing she didn't spot me! Otherwise, today's plan for Little Liu Guang might have been exposed because of me!
...When Fu Xuan arrived near her office, she naturally saw the pale pink flames.
"Huh? Who's playing with fire in front of this Grand Diviner's office? Could it be that Selene?"
With this thought, Fu Xuan stepped into the open space in front of her office!
And what Fu Xuan saw next would be unforgettable for her lifetime!
After stepping into the open space, what greeted Fu Xuan's eyes was a huge heart formed by pink candles!
And standing in the middle of that heart, wasn't it the very person she was thinking of?
At this moment, Fu Xuan seemed to realize something; her heart suddenly quickened! Her breathing also became rapid!
She stood there in a daze for a while, then murmured, "That blockhead... will she actually have a day when she finally gets it?"
After speaking, Fu Xuan slowly walked towards Selene.
Since Selene was currently facing away from Fu Xuan, and Fu Xuan deliberately lightened her footsteps, Selene didn't realize that Fu Xuan was right behind her!
Arriving behind Selene, Fu Xuan slightly raised her right hand, preparing to pat Selene's shoulder to let her know she was standing behind her.
However, whether it was due to nervousness, inner excitement, or a combination of both! Fu Xuan's outstretched right hand trembled slightly, hesitating to fall!
What Fu Xuan didn't know was that Selene had actually realized her presence the moment she stood behind her.
Mainly, the faint fragrance Fu Xuan naturally carried, the sound of her pounding heart, and her rapid breathing all escaped neither Selene's nose nor her ears.
But even though she knew the person behind her was the Fu Xuan she had been waiting for, Selene did not turn around.
She was waiting, waiting for Fu Xuan to call her first!
And Fu Xuan, standing behind her, finally calmed down slightly; her outstretched right hand no longer trembled but slowly rested on Selene's shoulder!
"Are you... waiting for me?"
Fu Xuan looked at Selene's back, her voice slightly trembling as she spoke.
As her words fell, Selene, who had been facing away from her, suddenly turned around! She knelt on one knee, raised the 'bouquet' in her hands, and passionately confessed to Fu Xuan:
"Fu Xuan, I've always wanted to tell you, your appearance is like adding a rainbow to my 'dull and colorless' world! Making my life colorful!"
"I love your smiles at me, I love you calling my name, I love you blowing and styling my hair... I love everything you give me!"
"I want you to always be by my side! I mean... I love you! Will you be my girlfriend?"
With her words, Selene raised the 'bouquet' in her hand! Presenting it to Fu Xuan!
And at this moment, Selene's body trembled uncontrollably, her breathing became increasingly rapid! Her heart also accelerated its beating!
And Fu Xuan, in front of her, slowly bent down, placed her hands on Selene's arms, and helped her up from the ground!
After doing all this, Fu Xuan reached out and took the 'bouquet' Selene offered, holding it in her arms, a gentle smile on her face, and looking into Selene's eyes, she replied:
"I will! I've actually been waiting for this day for a long time!"
As Fu Xuan spoke, two glistening tears uncontrollably spilled from the corners of her eyes!
"Me too! I've also been looking forward to this day for a long time!"
As Selene spoke, she took a step forward and threw herself into Fu Xuan's arms! Holding her tightly, unwilling to let go!
...Inside the office, Bai Ling was lying by the bed, sobbing and wiping away tears with her hand, silently watching everything.
"Wuwu! They're both too sweet! Is this what a mutual journey feels like?! Wuwu!"
...In a certain corner, a small head peeked out, holding a telescope from who knows where, silently watching the scene in the distance.
"Hmm! They've hugged! They've hugged! Yay!"
Qing Que cheered when she saw Selene pounce.
She then put down the telescope, a slight smile on her face.
"Oh my! I wish you two happiness! I'll be heading back now!"
Little Sparrow finished speaking, then turned and left the Divination Commission... The two embracing in the candlelight were reluctant to let go.
Finally, Fu Xuan remembered the food prepared at home, and only then did she gently and reluctantly push Selene, separating her from her embrace.
After pushing her away, Fu Xuan noticed that Selene's eyes were a little red, clearly from crying.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan leaned down slightly and kissed Selene's forehead, then said gently:
"You, you're confessing to this Grand Diviner, and this Grand Diviner hasn't even cried! Why are you the one crying?!"
"I... I'm happy! Is that not allowed?!"
Selene said, her cheeks turning crimson with shyness; she quickly turned sideways and raised her hand to wipe away the glistening tears from the corners of her eyes.
"You... why did you kiss me just now? Shouldn't that be something I do when confessing?"
Selene looked at Fu Xuan, stammering slightly.
"Hmm? Perhaps it's because a certain someone is too cute? That's why this Grand Diviner couldn't resist!"
Fu Xuan said with a smile.
However, seeing Selene remain silent, Fu Xuan understood what the other person wanted.
So, Fu Xuan leaned down slightly, bringing her face close to Selene's, her meaning self-evident.
Seeing this, Selene tiptoed slightly and kissed Fu Xuan's forehead.
Hmm... avoiding the Third Eye!
"Alright, let's clean this up now, and then it's time to go home! After all, today is New Year's Eve! This Grand Diviner still wants to have New Year's dinner with a certain little silly goose!"
