Stella’s work became increasingly busy.[]
After getting familiar with the orchestra’s operations, she began traveling around the world, causing her arranged meeting to he postponed again and again.[]
But the Stone family’s son didn’t seem rushed, accommodating her schedule each time.[]
After Stella’s latest performance ended, it was already 1 AM.[]
On top of that, it was pouring rain, making it impossible to get a cab.[]
She stood under the awning of a flower shop, watching the sky unleash a fierce storm, feeling somewhat troubled.[]
She should have brought an umbrella.
The next second, a large umbrella appeared over her head.[]
Stella was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the person.[]
It was a very handsome man, his dark eyes carrying a warm smile that was somehow captivating.[]
“Hope you’ve been well, Miss Rivers.”
His voice was pleasant too.]]
Perfect for a violinist’s aesthetic sense of hearing.[]
Stella snapped back to reality and asked warily: “Do we know each other?”
“I’m Sebastian Stone,” the man’s voice was magnetic: “The one you’re supposed to be matched with.“[]
Stella’s heart skipped a beat.]]
She never imagined that the long–delayed arranged meeting would happen in such circumstances.]
She felt somewhat embarrassed: “Mr. Stone, I’m sorry for this awkward situation.“[]
Sebastian looked at her with amusement: “Stella, you haven’t changed at all. You’re still so formal around people you don’t know well.“[]
Hearing this, Stella was confused and began examining Sebastian carefully.[]
When she saw the red mole at the corner of his eye, fragments of memories flashed through her mind, and she became incredibly
excited.
“You… you’re that boy from back then?“]
Sebastian nodded and smiled: “Yes.”
Stella found it unbelievable.
Fate was such a strange thing–it could separate people who loved each other and reunite those who had only met once.[]

Back in middle school, Stella had gone on a field trip but unexpectedly encountered a mudslide.[]
Everyone had been evacuated to safety, but she was forgotten on the mountain.[]
She stood there like a lost child, crying her heart out.
t.[]
Until a lazy voice interrupted her: “You’re not dead, so why are you crying?“]
She followed the voice and looked up the mountain, where a boy stood, even the moonlight seemed to favor him.[]
The boy walked straight to her, took her hand, and led her in the opposite direction into a cave.

It seemed like fate wasn’t ready to take her–the weather suddenly cleared.]
The boy skillfully started a fire to warm her, calm and composed in a way that didn’t match his age.[]
“We’ll stay here tonight and wait for rescue. Someone will come for us at dawn.“[]
For some reason, even though Stella was meeting him for the first time, she found him reassuring.
Thunder rumbled through the night, keeping her awake, so she started chatting with the boy.[]
But his voice grew weaker and weaker, and Stella realized he had a fever.[]
She cried anxiously: “Why didn’t you tell me you had a fever?“[]
His response was casual: “I’m not dead, so what’s to worry about?“]
From his words, Stella sensed for the first time someone’s disregard for life.]
She took off the jade bracelet from her neck and gave it to him.]
“My mom got this from a temple. I’m giving it to you now, hoping you’ll get better soon.” “I
Then she heard a low chuckle.]
Meeting again after so long, Stella felt a bit surprised and delighted: “So your name is Sebastian Stone. Before getting on the ambulance that day, I asked what your name was and you told me, but I passed out and didn’t hear it.“]
“I thought about it for a long time afterward but couldn’t remember your name. I never thought I’d see you again in this lifetime!“]
They found a small restaurant and ordered some late–night food.[]
Throughout the meal, Sebastian was gentlemanly in taking care of her, following her lead in conversation.[]
Stella found it fascinating and teased: “Sebastian, I’ve noticed you’re very different now from how you were back then.“[]
“How so?” Sebastian asked with amusement.[]
Stella answered seriously: “Even though I only met you once before, you seemed really aloof. But now you don’t seem so cold anymore.”
Sebastian smiled: “Is that so? Do you prefer me now, or the way I was before?“]
The question was somewhat forward, and Stella was momentarily stunned.[]

When he said “prefer,” did he mean as a friend?[]
Stella didn’t dwell on it too long and gave a diplomatic answer: “I like both versions.“[]
The rain outside gradually stopped, and Sebastian suddenly asked her: “Want to hear some piano music?”
“Is that possible?” Stella was a bit surprised.]
Then she watched Sebastian play the piano.]]
Like a gentleman of unparalleled elegance.[]
Those words came to Stella’s mind involuntarily.[]
Over the next month, Sebastian and Stella’s relationship grew closer.[]
He would pick her up and drop her off at work, send her flowers after each performance, and they’d go on dates during weekends.]]
Soon, they developed into a boyfriend–girlfriend relationship.[]
After dating for a month, Sebastian proposed to Stella.[]
About this, Mrs. Rivers worried and advised Stella: “Stella, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to accept his proposal? Do you really like him?“]
She really didn’t want to see her daughter get hurt again.]]
Stella smiled: “Mom, don’t worry. I’m willingly marrying him.“[]
