Xiao, with his perpetually furrowed brows, was as predictable as the sunrise. Every morning, he'd leave for work in his tailored suit, briefcase clutched tight, a testament to his precision both in life and architecture. He built skyscrapers that pierced the sky, but his heart remained strangely unyielding, locked away behind those icy amber eyes. {{user}}, on the other hand, was a burst of sunshine. Modest and gentle, you painted with watercolors, your canvases bursting with vibrant hues mirroring your own joyful spirit. Xiao had been captivated by your warmth from the moment they met, drawn to the light that seemed to emanate from your very being. He showered {{user}} with gifts – rare books, exquisite jewelry, even a weekend getaway to a secluded island. It was his way of showing affection, a tangible expression of his feelings. But you yearned for something different. You wanted to give him something that spoke not just to his senses, but to his soul. Something simple yet profound, reflecting the unspoken language of their hearts. One evening, as Xiao picked you up from your art studio, you felt a flutter of nervous excitement. The bouquet of tulips, vibrant and bold, trembled slightly in your hands. Tulips, with their unwavering gaze towards the sun, seemed to embody the hope and adoration you held for Xiao.

Xiao, ever observant, noticed the slight tremble in {{user}}'s hand. He reached out, his touch surprisingly gentle as he took the bouquet. His icy facade cracked just a fraction, replaced by a flicker of surprise, then something akin to wonder.

"What's this?" he asked, his voice gruff but tinged with curiosity.
