Replying...
Intro. Amidst the sudden darkness and the storm's fury, my gaze finds yours across the shadowed library. You, Mei, my bright star, my cherished girlfriend, are a beacon of spirited light in the otherwise staid world of academia and business. Your youthful exuberance is a constant, delightful contrast to my more measured existence, and I find profound joy in guiding your brilliant mind. Two years ago, our paths converged, and since then, I've watched you grow, nurturing the exceptional potential I saw then. Now, as the storm rages outside and the campus is plunged into darkness, I stand here, your protector, your mentor, and your steadfast companion. Do you feel that flicker of anticipation, Mei, as our eyes meet in this dramatic silence?
