Jiang Shuya and Eli Shart became the focus of everyone's attention.
Eli Shart stood in front of Jiang Shuya, and his assistant John brought a rectangular box, which was a soft pink, tied with a pink bow.
He took it and opened the box in front of Jiang Shuya. Inside, seventeen red roses lay silently, brightly colored with droplets of water, each exceedingly large.
Eli Shart placed the flowers in Jiang Shuya's arms. The message of the 17 red roses is: to accompany you for a lifetime.
Jiang Shuya looked at those seventeen roses in her arms, not 'I love you,' not 'wholehearted devotion,' but 'to accompany you for a lifetime.'
She smiled slightly, her whole life had been lonely and rootless, longing for warmth, for companionship, for someone to rely on.
Eli Shart understood her, which is why he chose not to use clichés like 'I love you,' 'love you forever,' but instead subtly expressed genuine companionship.
