Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory’s marriage proposal was recorded and shared on Twitter, and the next day, it surprisingly topped the trending list.

In this world, netizens are capable of anything.

Although neither Steve Burton nor Ruby Gregory’s Twitter accounts were verified, people still dug them up, and Mrs. Gregory and The Triplets as well as Ruby’s fans started to skyrocket overnight.

Ruby Gregory had been using Twitter far longer than Steve Burton and posted updates daily, while Steve Burton had only posted once, a photo of himself with The Triplets in their incubator.

Ruby Gregory also shared her own pictures, but she would Photoshop them first, not to alter her facial features, but to soften the lighting, making her skin look as delicate as a peeled egg.

But Steve Burton’s pictures were posted just as they were taken, and although in the photos he’s tilting his head and the angles are not great, they still manage to capture his charm. Together with the video where he looks dashing, he won the favor of countless female compatriots. In just three hours, Steve Burton’s followers not only surpassed Ruby’s but did so by nearly a hundred thousand.

Three days later, Steve Burton’s followers reached over a million. Ruby Gregory, whose own follower count was just a small fraction of Steve’s, wasn’t happy about it but still accompanied him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

Just as Ruby Gregory had said, the sun was exceptionally bright that day. Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory smiled for a photo together in the Civil Affairs Bureau, recited the marriage vows, and then walked out with two bright red booklets.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Steve Burton received a call from Edward Woods, “Brother, you and Ruby have got your certificate, right? To celebrate you both saying farewell to singlehood, I’ve arranged a big Bachelorette Party for you tonight. Seven-thirty at The Sapphire Bistro, don’t miss it. It’s specially for you two, so make sure you’re there!”

Edric Reat also received the electronic invitation card that Edward Woods sent out online.

He felt he was courting disaster, having witnessed online how Steve Burton proposed to Ruby Gregory. Not to mention the expenses, but the meaning of those photos—the past they represented—was something he could never have in his lifetime. Yet, upon receiving their Bachelorette Party invitation, he found himself wanting to attend.

From beginning to end, he had played the role of an unimportant outsider. During the process, perhaps he really was like a knight only found in fairy tales. Now that the prince and princess were finally together, the story had its perfect ending. He should have gracefully exited the stage, but he wanted to see for himself the girl of his dreams, looking blissful and happy.

Edric Reat canceled all of his overtime work for the evening and specially went to the mall to buy the latest suit. Dressed to the nines, he drove to The Sapphire Bistro.

When he arrived, Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory hadn’t yet made it, and the place was filled with quite a few of Ciawell’s elites, including some of their college classmates.

As the main characters of the evening, Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory were a full ten minutes late, leaving Edward Woods, who had come out to greet them, rushing back to the private room to inform everyone that the guests of honor had finally arrived. Then, everyone immediately turned off the lights in the room and maintained a complicit silence in the dark stillness.
