As | walked out of the inn, Jessica's laughter still echoed behind me. She was telling Grace about how Ethan
proposed to her. | quickened my pace, as if fleeing from a pursuing ghost.
| found an open space and set up my easel. Just as | picked up the palette, a wave of dizziness hit me. | reached
into my pocket, took out a pill box, and swallowed the medication. Slowly, the discomfort began to fade.
I've never been a lucky person. | had no parents, no friends, and I'd never even won a free soda. | thought Lady
Luck had always despised me, until that day.
| finally won the stuffed toy I'd wanted for so long, got a free milk tea, and won a 5,000-yuan cash prize by
smashing a golden egg at the supermarket.
Even the Coke | bought for Xiao Mei had a "try again" label on it.
Xiao Mei grinned at me, "Lucky charm, | owe it all to you."
| couldn't believe it. How could someone like me, who'd never had any luck, suddenly have so much? Then, just
as our car was making a turn, it suddenly veered out of control. As the wall ahead loomed closer, | screamed in

Bang!
almost The car crashed through the wall, but surprisingly, the impact was nonexistent. Through the gaps in my
fingers, | glimpsed a soft orange light. The light and the scent of flowers spread out, falling on the man standing
in the center, dressed in a suit.
Ethan Harris stood amidst a sea of flowers, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit.
Friends and family were all dressed to the nines, even Buddy was sitting beside him in a dapper little tuxedo.
| stared in shock at the scene before me. Even as Ethan walked over and opened the door, | still remember the
first words he said to me. He said, "Sienna, it's time."
It was our secret code-it's tto eat, tto go home, tfor a kiss, tfor us to marry.
He liftedout of the car, applause ringing in my ears. Ethan, a man who had faced death so many times, was
so nervous he could barely speak.
"Sienna, did you have a good day?"
| was too choked up to answer, so | just kept nodding. He smiled, a mischievous grin, "Sienna, there's something
really important | need you to do for me, something only you can do."
I looked at him, "What?"
"Be my wife."
"Marry me, and I'll make sure you're this lucky every day."
"And I'm offering a buy-one-get-two deal, maybe even get three!"
It was strange. So many things with Ethan happened naturally, without any buildup or hesitation. Just like | knew
he would marry me, he knew | would only marry him.
After the proposal, on the way back, he bought a lottery ticket. He told me, "If we win, the thirty million is all
yours."
"And if we don't win?" | asked.
He replied, completely serious, "Then it means marrying you used up all my luck."
| couldn't stop laughing and told him, "I always thought I had terrible luck, but it turns out | was saving it all for
meeting you!"
"Exactly! You saved up eighteen years of luck just to meet me. You better treasure me."
I leaned over and kissed him, telling him solemnly, "I will."
As the sun set, | greedily drank in the fiery red sky, his words still ringing in my ears, but he was no longer there.
By the t| returned to the inn with my sketchbook, the lights outside were already on. As | approached, |
noticed a figure standing by the door. The faint red glow of a cigarette floated in the air, and the scent of nicotine
wafted toward me.
| frowned as | looked at the person in front of me.
When he heardapproaching, he turned his head. For a brief moment, | saw a flicker of panic in his eyes. He
quickly extinguished the cigarette and awkwardly scratched the back of his head, just like Ethan used to do
whenever | caught him smoking.
| stood still, using every ounce of self-control to ignore him. But as we passed each other, | heard him say,
"Sienna Bennett, | remember you."
