Chapter 371 Pink Firework Rain
At the sightseeing cable car.
Magnus raised his hand to adjust her off-white coat, looked down at her, and suddenly called her, "Juniper."
"Yes?"
"Though you made a trip to the Imperial Capital for nothing tonight, I'm very happy."
His gaze was so intense it was almost scorching.
Juniper slightly averted her eyes, looking at the mountain scenery outside the glass cable car. "Is there a surprise at the top of the mountain?"
Magnus stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her, kissed the top of her head, and chuckled softly, "Since it's a surprise, of course, it has to be kept secret."
She suddenly remembered what Ophelia had said.
Could Magnus really be proposing?
Juniper instinctively turned to look at him and noticed he wasn't wearing his glasses this time. "Are your eyes fully healed?"
"Yes, almost."
Juniper stared at him for a long moment but didn't ask further.
Magnus smiled faintly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Juniper also smiled, "Nothing, just curious about the surprise."
The cable car slowly glided towards the mountain top.
Recently, Skyville had heavy snow, and the snow in the mountains hadn't melted yet, presenting a vast expanse of white.
At the top of Sky Dome Mountain, there was a huge observation deck.
After getting off the cable car, Magnus held her hand and led her to the observation deck.
At this moment, the observation deck was lit with warm orange lights, bright and cozy.
The railings around the observation deck were adorned with various roses, clearly arranged with care.
As Juniper walked over, she noticed a sophisticated astronomical telescope on the deck.
She was about to ask if they were going to stargaze.
Magnus, beside her, said, "Juniper, look at your feet."
Juniper looked down and saw that the glass floor beneath her feet would light up with pink electronic fireworks whenever she stepped on it.
Under the glass, there were sensor screens.
Juniper was surprised, "Was this originally here, or..."
"It was prepared a week ago. Do you like it?"
Juniper found it novel and stepped on the glass floor several more times. Each step triggered a firework, and the sensors were very responsive, with almost no delay.
It must have cost a fortune.
No one would dislike such a surprise.
But while enjoying it, Juniper looked up and asked him, "After tonight, will these things stay here?"
"Contributing to Crestoria's tourism and making you happy, there's nothing wrong with that."
Moreover, he selfishly wanted everyone to know that these pink fireworks were lit by Magnus for Juniper.
Juniper called him a "big capitalist" but still happily took out her phone to take pictures of the electronic fireworks on the ground.
Actually, there were cameras around, so even without taking pictures, everything tonight would be recorded as material for their future wedding.
Magnus saw her fascinated by the electronic fireworks for so long and chuckled, "Juniper, this is just the appetizer."
Juniper grew even more curious, "Is there something even more extravagant?"
Magnus was momentarily stunned and then laughed silently.
He pulled her to the astronomical telescope, adjusted the angle, and signaled her to look.
Juniper, encircled in his arms, leaned in to look.
Magnus, standing behind her, asked, "Do you see the brightest star in the west?"
Skyville's air quality wasn't particularly good, but after several heavy snowfalls, the sky was relatively clear.
Plus, being on the mountain top and with the high precision of the instrument, it was easy to see the star.
Juniper was staring at the star, studying what was special about it, and casually asked, "What star is this?"
Magnus looked at her cold and beautiful profile and whispered in her ear, "It's called the M&J Star."
Juniper thought she had misheard.
She turned to look at Magnus in a daze, "What did you say?"
Magnus knew she couldn't believe it, so he explained, "I bought the naming rights. From now on, it's called the M&J Star. Didn't you say that you wanted a star?"
Juniper's face was full of shock, "I was just saying it casually."
Half a month ago, he came to Southern City to find her.
At that time, they were still in a cold war. In the Shilla Hotel, he asked her if there was anything she particularly wanted.
Juniper casually mentioned a star in the sky.
But unexpectedly, he remembered it.
Magnus looked deeply at her slightly stunned expression and said seriously, "Juniper, I remember everything you say."
They looked at each other.
Juniper first smiled, but as she smiled, her heart trembled with emotion, and her eyes gradually became moist.
Magnus gently stroked her face with his thumb and teased, "It's only the second surprise, don't get emotional so quickly."
Juniper was truly shocked, her watery eyes widened slightly, "There's more?"
Magnus glanced at his watch.
As the second hand approached twelve, the lights on the observation deck suddenly went out.
In the darkness, only a few seconds passed.
Before she could react, a sound suddenly rang in her ears!
Magnus reminded, "Don't look at me, look up at the sky."
They stood on the mountain top.
In the nearby sky, several beams of light suddenly shot up.
Five grand rotating fireworks shot straight into the sky!
At the stroke of midnight on New Year's, they exploded with a loud bang, blooming suddenly in the night!
The fireworks rotated, changed, and at the moment they spread out, it was like a dreamy pink firework rain.
Just when Juniper thought the fireworks were about to die out, the five beams of fireworks had a second bloom, transforming into a conspicuous and romantic phrase in the sky—
Juniper, marry me.
Juniper looked up at the sky not far away, almost stunned, not reacting for a long time, just staring blankly at the grand firework display.
Magnus took out a black velvet box from his coat pocket.
He suddenly called out in her ear, "Juniper."
Juniper snapped back to reality.
Magnus had already taken a step, no longer standing behind her but in front of her.
Juniper turned to look at him.
In her extremely astonished gaze, Magnus held up a shining diamond ring and knelt on one knee.
The sky was still filled with dazzling fireworks.
In the light of the fireworks, he looked up at Juniper and solemnly said, "The proposal at the cathedral in Solara wasn't formal enough, I'm sorry."
Juniper instinctively covered her mouth, her throat tight with emotion, her eyes reddening, almost in tears.
Magnus gazed deeply at her, as if wanting to see her forever.
He asked, "Juniper, will you marry me?"
This time, he didn't say, Juniper, marry me.
Instead, he asked if she was willing to marry him.
Juniper felt her whole body trembling slightly, her throat choked with emotion, making it impossible to speak.
She opened her mouth, swallowed several times, but before she could speak, tears of emotion fell.
It was too sudden, too shocking.
Juniper took a while to organize her thoughts, her mind blank, "I... I... I need to think."
