The Great Thief

Before he even got to the plaza, he already knew what had happened.

A few young girls were talking about what had happened as they ran towards the plaza.

“I heard that there’s a lot of candles and balloons at the plaza. Someone’s going to propose. Hurry!”

“My god, what year are we in? There are still people using these old ways to propose?

Water Fairy was extremely surprised.

Lu Li froze for a second, then he started laughing. He finally understood what Lu Xin had done in secret. However, he didn’t explain it to her.

It was as if everything was planned.

“Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

There were no dancers in the middle of the plaza today. After hearing that someone was about to propose here, the aunties that usually occupied this area decided not to show up.

Perhaps the sight of a proposal allowed them to recall events from a long time ago.

Perhaps at that time, there was a boy, who arranged a bouquet of flowers in front of her and wanted to grow old with her and be by her side forever. However, their pride caused them to reject the boy. The boy slowly faded away, into a memory. Now, she no longer remembered what the boy looked like, but she had never forgotten the feeling from back then.

The candles and red roses were placed in heart shapes, with fairy lights hung on the trees.

It was a proposal taken straight out of the history books.

There were many people waiting and watching. Some were already at the plaza, while some came over while taking a walk. There were also the people from Ruling Sword at the restaurant who crawled over.

“Bro, I brought the ring that you told me to buy in secret.”

“Thank you, Lu Xin.”

Lu Li took the ring in his hands and gazed lovingly at Water Fairy.

“Did you really buy this?”

Obviously, Water Fairy figured out that this wasn’t arranged by Lu Li. This person didn’t have the ability to be this romantic.

“Well, this one is true. That day, after I ate at your house, I went to buy it. I could never find a time to do this.”

It could also be said that he didn’t have the courage to take this large step. This was because taking this step would bring many other things that he needed to bear.

He was a hug born from poverty. What right did he have to desire a white swan?

He originally planned to wait until he had built up a business and made a name for himself before marrying her. However, her wealth and status was much, much higher than his. More than he ever

expected.

“What are you waiting for?” Water Fairy asked endearingly as she teasingly blinked her eyes.

“That’s right! What are you waiting for? If you can’t, then I will!”

Someone unknown in the crowd yelled this, which only fired up the crowd even more.

Lu Li laughed and smiled. Then, he knelt on one knee, in front of Water Fairy.

“I have always stayed true to myself. Every decision that I made was made completely willingly. I have never been bribed and controlled! I can bow down and worship out of respect, but never out of surrendering!” he affirmed to himself.

“Snowy, will you marry me?”

“Erm…”

Water Fairy acted as if she needed to think about it.

“Say yes! Say yes!”

If it was a normal situation and Lu Li came across a sight like this, he would be muttering under his breath and telling the crowd off.

“They’re proposing. It’s none of your business. Why are you all saying things? It’s them who will be living together, not you.”

However, he was now instead thankful for these people for hyping up the atmosphere. Even if they were there for the sake of being there.

After a short while, Water Fairy finally reached out.

Lu Li, in a daze, held her hand. Then, after a second of completely going blank, he finally remembered to put the ring onto Water Fairy’s finger.

It wasn’t too big or too small. It was just right.

When this moment came, he was filled with joy. He understood that he liked this girl. A lot. He also realised that he had liked this girl for a long, long time.

When Lu Li held her hands as he stood up, Water Fairy dove head-first into his chest.

They were both extremely moved and also moved the crowd as well. Thunderous applause and cheering surrounded them as they embraced each other.

“How moving! Makes me want to find a significant other for myself as well.”

“Even though this is a disgusting amount of PDA, I still want them to be like this forever.”

“That’s right! If they didn’t end up growing old together even after this, then it would be too cruel! It would make me contemplate whether true love exists in this world.”

Putting on the ring didn’t mean that they were able to immediately prepare for the wedding.

According to Water Fairy’s uncle, they needed to arrange for an engagement party and also needed to invite Water Fairy’s father.

Otherwise, this would be extremely rude.

But was arranging an engagement party for his daughter without first consulting the father not rude as well?

Lu Li didn’t have other ideas for this. His impression of Chairperson Shen wasn’t the greatest. Furthermore, her father was likely to be either working or changing diapers for his son. Just when he wasn’t looking, his daughter was stolen by another man.

Both proposals and weddings were like ceremonies.

At this time, Lu Li finally felt that he was no longer alone.

A day after this proposal, it seemed that everyone in game knew that this in-game couple had become a real couple in real life too.

After knowing that Lu Li logged on, a lot of players proceeded to congratulate him on the World Channel.

Unforgettable Maple: Congratulations brother Lu Li and Water Fairy! When will we see a fat baby?”

Green Flag Wine: Haha! Congratulations brother Lu Li on becoming our brother-in-law. If you dare to mistreat our princess, Peerless City and Drizzle Court will not forgive you.

Wood Fearing: Congratulations, brother Lu Li! I hope you guys stay together for a 100 years!

Stellar Union Silver Radiant: Congratulations Water Fairy! You finally took Lu Li home. The man conquers the world while the woman conquers the man!

Elevenless: Sigh. Lu Li, you must take good care of sister Water Fairy. If you suddenly decide that you no longer want her, there are countless other men who will!

Wendelian: Sister Water Fairy, I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Not An Elementary Student: Wow! This is probably a once in a blue moon blessing in the gaming world! I want to be a bridesmaid!

Dancing Flower Beauty: Hehe, if you go, other people will think that the newlyweds only married after having kids.

Not An Elementary Student: You…you…I hope you never find a boyfriend!

Dancing Flower Beauty: You scum. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been able to find a boyfriend.

Not An Elementary Student: Hehe…you devil…I am famous for my mouth!

Sorrowless: Congratulations, Lu Li and Water Fairy! If you find a partner, then you should be together! Brother Lu Li, do you agree?

Lu Li: Thank you everyone. I don’t really understand what God Sorrowless is saying.

Sorrowless: A smart man does not beat around the bush. If Water Fairy was always in our Glory Capital, then what would brother Lu Li think?

Lu Li: Oh, you’re talking about your ex-girlfriend?

Sorrowless: What ex-girlfriend? We haven’t officially broken up!

Lu Li: Can’t do anything about that. We can’t give her up. She’s our best Healing Paladin. Sorrowless: ….

Sorrowless quickly exited the chat. This was because this topic wasn’t fit for discussion in the World Channel.
