Standing behind, Shen Yi and the few guys also cried as they watched Mu Jun fall on his knees and cry through the large screen that was displaying Mu Jun's every moment.

As his closest friends who grew up together from the age of six, Shen Yi and the rest were well aware of Mu Jun's feelings for his mother. When they heard Aunty Mu's voice for the first time, they too were stunned and did not know what was going on. But because they were afraid that he would stop, they just cheered on. But as they kept hearing the familiar voice again and again, they were no longer able to hide their shock.

This was not included in their plan at all. Initially, their plan was to bring Mu Jun to the backyard which would be decorated with pink balloons, and then Sia would appear holding a cake and sing him happy birthday before confessing her feelings.

even when Sia asked him in the afternoon if he had Aunty Mu's voice recording, he did not think much and just shared the voice recording he had stolen from Mu Jun's cell phone with Sia. but never did he thought that Sia would give such a huge surprise. Not only was Mu Jun touched, even Shen Yi and the rest were also surprised and never thought Sia would come up with such an idea.

Hugging each other's shoulder, the four guys looked at Mu Jun who was crying his eyes out with a smile on their face.

On the other side, Mu Jun cried until he felt someone walking towards him. Feeling excited, Mu Jun rubbed the tears off his eyes and stood up. He wasn't delusional, he knew his mother would never come back but still felt happy when he heard her familiar voice. And he also knew that this arrangement was not made by his friends because his friends did not know about Night Blooming Cereus. Even if they knew, they could not possibly get it since they bloom only during night time, between ten to twelve and none of his friends were away except Sia. The moment he saw the Night Blooming Cereus and heard his mother's voice, he knew that Sia...she was here.

The initially disappointed heart was once again ignited with excitement and he looked forward to meeting Sia.

Just as he stood up, he saw a faint light advancing towards him followed by a gentle and melodious voice "Happy Birthday to youuu...happy birthday to youuu...Happy birthday to dear Mu Jun, Happy Birthday to you"

As soon as the song ended, the lights around the garden lit up with a burst and illuminated the whole garden which was full of red hearts and roses.

Shocked, Mu Jun looked around before turning to Sia who was dressed in a golden ball gown holding a small box upon which lied a chocolate cake in her hand and a dazzling smile on her face, Mu Jun did not know how to react

"You-"

before Mu Jun could ask anything, Sia made a 'shhh' and said "Don't talk"

Seeing that Mu Jun had closed his mouth obediently, Sia pointed towards the button on the box.

though he did not understand what did she want to do, Mu Jun still pressed them obediently. The moment the button was pressed, a short and wide tube popped out of the middle of the cake.

When Mu Jun saw a small ring placed inside the tube, he was stunned and felt his heart race in anxiousness.

Looking at Mu Jun who looked stunned, Sia smiled victoriously and move her hands away from below the cake. Just when everyone thought that the cake would fall, including Mu Jun, the box stood still in the air.

under Mu Jun's dumbfounded look, Sia reached for the ring and bent slightly before she raised her hand holding the ring and asked "I don't know when I fell for you nor do I know why but I only know that you are the person I like, want to be with and want to protect from being approached by others. So tonight, taking this precious opportunity under so many witnesses, I want to ask...Mu Jun, would you like to be my boyfriend?"

"..." With his eyes and mouth wide open, he looked at Sia who was kneeling in front of him confessing her feelings and the only thought Mu Jun had was 'Who am I? Where am I?'

Seeing that Mu Jun wasn't responding, Sia smiled forcefully and spoke through gritted teeth "Mr. Handsome, I don't have enough patience. If you don't answer me now--"

Afraid that Sia might really take back her words, Shen Yi and the rest hurriedly urged him from behind.

getting back to his sense, just as Sia was about to take back her hand, he grabbed her hand with both the hands and nodded his head hurriedly "Yes, I do. I want to be your girlfriend-No boyfriend"

Chuckling at Mu Jun's stupidity, Sia rose on her feet and said "You said, you can't regret later"

With that said she slid the ring on his finger, at the same time confetti burst on either side of them followed by the few students who cheered the newly engaged couple excitedly.

unable to suppress his happiness and joy, Mu Jun pulled Sia into his arms and hugged her tightly. Resting his head on her shoulder, he let the tears of joy flow as he spoke in a hoarse voice "Thank You...thank You for letting me hear my mother's voice again, thank you for accepting me and not hating me. Thank You for making my birthday very special"

Patting his back gently, Sia smiled "Don't. From now on, I'll make sure that your every birthday will be very special"

"mm...then I will be looking forward to it" Mu Jun whispered as he hugged Sia tightly.
