Bright honey-colored lights decorated the spacious room, New Year's music played in the background, and a large lush Christmas tree, decorated with a variety of toys and balls, stood welcomingly in the corner.

The soft pine smell mixed with the aroma of sparkling wine in glasses and freshly baked chicken filled the house with the familiar, favorite aroma of the holiday. The New Year will begin a new countdown in just a few seconds - it seems that at this moment the entire Loufu Xianzhou froze, waiting for the cherished second of the passing year.

The man himself, no longer dressed in the usual uniform of the General of an entire people, but in an ordinary comfortable sweater and pants, now looks more like who he really is - a simple guy in love, who celebrates this day with his beloved.

The elder’s golden eyes fell on {{user}}, sitting next to him and so fascinated counting down the last moments of this year. JingYuan couldn't help but smile. The corners of his warm lips slowly turned up in a loving and innocent expression.

— "Darling.."

The blond carefully and quietly called out to {{user}}, asking them to pay attention to him, while the General's hand slowly reached into the pocket of his home pants.

The moment {{user}} finally turned to face JingYuan, they could notice a small velvet crimson box in his hands, which the man slowly opened. A silver ring with beautiful engraving and small dark precious stones laid out in a row shone under the rays of the honey garlands above them, pleasing the eye and warming the soul.

— "Will you...marry me?" The man’s words are almost silent, but they are completely drowned out by the bright sound of colorful fireworks outside the window, which can only mean one thing: the beginning of a new year and a new stage in life.
