Ever since I started working, I have never expected what would it be like if my parents and Grandmother were still alive . I never thought that it would happen with the help of the heart-glimpsing rune . I could not resist the happiness in my heart . Although I knew this was not real, I indulged in it anyway . We had dumplings for lunch as a happy family, and I could not help but feel that this was bliss .

Although I lost myself in front of Granny, she did not dwell on it after I came up with an excuse . She was a smart lady, not even telling my parents about me crying in front of her . She also got me out of the awkward situation when Mother asked me about my red eyes at the table .

"I got Xiao Mu Tou to bring me my stuff, and something got into his eyes . "

I stayed at my parents' place during the weekend, enjoying the family reunion that I had lost for 20 years in this familiar yet unfamiliar house . After dinner on Sunday, I hailed a cab and went back to my place . The two days brought back most of the memories of my job scope at work . On Monday morning, I went into my office early as I wanted to spend more time familiarizing with my work .

Since the heart-glimpsing rune's script was written this way, I had to go with it instead of quitting my job . As soon as one portion of the script went wrong, it would create a domino effect, and many uncontrollable things would be affected . Following the script gave me an idea of what the story was going to turn out like as well as the techniques to work with the flow . Things would become unpredictable if I changed the script on my own .

It was 7 a . m . I got to the office and found my seat immediately . It took me a while to recall my computer password . After I logged into the computer, I looked at what had I been working on recently . Although it was unfamiliar, I got used to the computer soon and found my work list on a spreadsheet . I then started checking the documents following the list . When it was 7 . 40 a . m, Xiao Wang from our group had arrived . He greeted me as soon as he saw me .

"Bro Lin, you're here . "

I nodded at him and proceeded with my work . There were six teams in the sales and marketing team . I was one of the team leaders, a supervisor with eight employees under my watch . After taking some time to familiarize with my work, I looked at the contact list for each department on the table and matched their names with their faces in my head .



After thorough preparation, I did not expose anything . Soon, one week had passed, and I had completely adapted to work . I went to see my parents during the weekends . As we had dinner on Saturday night, Mother came up with an awkward topic out of nowhere .

"Xiao Mu Tou, you aren't young anymore . You're already 25 . It's time to get a girlfriend and think about marriage . "

I was stunned to hear that, and this popped into my head: "Would marriage change the story?"

I smiled as I nodded .

"I want that too, but first, I'll need to find someone suitable . "

"I heard about this lady that your Aunt Liu knows . She's half a year younger than you, and she's a newbie at work . She's pretty cute . " Mother grinned .

"Are you interested in meeting her?"

"It depends if she wants to see me . " I knew that Mother could not wait for me to get married .



"It's Sunday tomorrow . You can meet her tomorrow if you want . " Mother clearly could not wait anymore .

"Alright then, I'll meet her . " Lin Huang did not have any opinion on marriage . Since this was how the story developed, he thought he should see her anyway as it could be crucial to the story .

After agreeing to meet the lady, Mother called Aunt Liu without even doing the dishes after dinner . The lady agreed to meet us as well . The next morning, I arrived at the cafe that we were meeting 20 minutes earlier . I waited patiently after ordering a cup of coffee . We had agreed to meet at 9 a . m . I saw a familiar person walking towards the cafe when it was 8 . 50 a . m .

The girl wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a pair of jeans . She had a ponytail and sunglasses that covered half of her face . She carried a khaki brown handbag, and I found her attire refreshing during the summer season . I was just as shocked as she was when she saw me upon entering the cafe . She hesitated before walking towards me as she took off her sunglasses .

"Long time no see…" I did not expect to see the girl that I once wanted to kiss and had allowed me to .

"I didn't expect to see you as well . " Zhang Yan sat down . Silence came between the both of us . I had no idea what to say while she seemed to be awkward as well .

"When did you come back?" I decided to break the ice with a safe topic .

"I just came back a month ago . " Zhang Yan peeked at me secretly from under her glasses

"Yanyan… Let's get married . " I did not know how that slipped out of my lips, but I really did not want to let go of the girl that I had spent almost two years with . If I had to marry someone on Earth, she would be the perfect girl .

Zhang Yan became silent again as she seemed to be hesitating .

"I'll spend more time with you at home . I'll try to decline unnecessary entertainment . " I knew very well why had she left me .

"You promise?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up .

"I promise!" I nodded hard .

"Promise me . We'll get married, have two kids, and grow old with them . "

Zhang Yan giggled as she covered her mouth . "You're still so silly . "

"Promise me, okay?" I looked at her passionately . I had never wanted to spend my life with a person as much as this before .

"You didn't even get a ring! Hmph!" Zhang Yan pouted and looked away .

"Erm, I didn't know that I would propose today…" I panicked and stood up immediately . "You wait here . I'll go buy one!"

"Buy what?"

"The ring!"

"Do you think I'll say yes if you buy the ring?" Zhang Yan smirked .

"You…" I was stunned, but I caught her mischievous expression .

"I don't care . I'll buy it even if you say no! If you don't say yes today, I'll ask you again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that . I'll propose to you every day!"

"You sure you want to stick with me for the rest of your life?" Zhang Yan smiled .

"I'm sure . I know you're the one," I said in all seriousness .

"Then… I do . " Light shone in her eyes as she recollected our beautiful memories .
