Luke: Perfect Gift

Luke: Happy Qixi Festival!
Luke: I've prepared a few things for the occasion this year. Want to guess what they are?
You: There are so many things that could be for the Qixi Festival! Gimme some hints!
Luke: Hahaha, I guess it's too hard to blindly guess.
Luke: Then I'll give you a hint or two.
You: Hmm... traditional items common in the Qixi Festival? Red string? A round silk fan? Or... a comb?
Luke: Hmm, there was one thing you just said that was incredibly close!
Luke: I'll give you another hint.
Luke: It's circular, with a red string to wrap around something you like.
You: Is it a bracelet, wrapped with red string?
Luke: You're very close! But it's actually a red lock.
You: I know! It's a red lock, right?
Luke: That's right! As expected of my Watson.
Luke: Our ancestors believed that a red string was an important symbol, representing the union of marriage between two lovers.
Luke: But I don't think that's enough, so I prepared red locks in different sizes for you.
Luke: You can lock your favorite lipstick, snacks, DVD, or album together.
You: What about one for someone you love?
Luke: Of course! I've engraved the most special one with our names.
Luke: I'll wait for you to get off work and lock it for us yourself!

Artem: Qixi Festival Tradition
|

Artem: "You are the most important thing to me. I hope our relationship lasts until the end of time."
You: You're also the most important thing to me.
You: But why did you send me this all of a sudden...? I had my phone on the table. Someone almost saw it.
Artem: Well... It was the article you sent me last night, remember?
You: Why the sudden confession!?
You: Didn't you leave early for the courthouse this morning? Did you just finish?
Artem: Yes, I just left the courthouse.
Artem: It's been a long day, and I almost forgot the article you sent me last night.
You: Which article?
Artem: The one you mentioned on the phone last night. An article on the Qixi Festival Tradition that you found interesting.
Artem: The article said that on the day of the Qixi Festival, couples should declare their love in the first sentence of a conversation for good luck.
Artem: Couples who just started dating should pray that they last long. Couples who are engaged should pray for commitment. And for those already married...
Artem: But you fell asleep before I could finish reading the article.
You: I... fell asleep while talking on the phone?
Artem: Seeing you sleep so soundly, I knew you must have had a long day. Hence, I decided to let you sleep.
You: Oh, that one? I thought you wouldn't care about those "outrageous" customs.
Artem: Customs don't have to be traditional. They'll be meaningful as long as they embody our intentions.
Artem: Given how many incidents happened in court today, the first confession came a little late.
Artem: As compensation, come over tonight. We'll do... whatever you want.
Vyn: Small Galaxy[edit | edit source]

Vyn: Small Galaxy
|
|---|
Vyn: I read in a book a long time ago that the people of Stellis had a custom in which they "stargazed with their partners."
Vyn: It sounds riveting. Would you like to go to the beach with me after work?
Vyn: Let us make a small galaxy together.
You: What's a small galaxy? A handicraft?
Vyn: According to records, it is simple to make a small galaxy — all you need is a handful of water with fine sand and shells.
Vyn: It reflects the stars in the night sky. In the sunlight, it is a galaxy.
Vyn: If we can finish this small galaxy together, our wishes and future will not be hindered by the days and nights to come.
You: Is that really a custom? I've never heard of it before...
You: It's kind of romantic when you think about it!
Vyn: I read it in a random book, so it might not be particularly well-known.
You: That sounds amazing! Do we make it at the beach?
Vyn: Yes, small galaxies will be more gorgeous when made at the beach.
Vyn: A couple's wishes are entrusted to the stars in the galaxy.
Vyn: But maybe I am too greedy. I do not want to place my wishes out of my own reach.
You: So that's why you wanted to make a small galaxy, to ensure your wishes remain within reach.
Vyn: Yes, I want to wish that we can be together for a long time... and hold this wish tightly in my hand.
You: I'm the same as you. I want to have my wishes firmly within my grasp.
Vyn: Looks like we are on the same wavelength again.
Vyn: I look forward to the moment when we finish it tonight.

Marius: Lantern Fair Experience

Marius: Off work yet? I saw a body painting stall in the Qixi Lantern Market...
Marius: Want to give it a try?
You: What? There's body painting at the Lantern Market!?
Marius: Hahaha, why are you so surprised? Didn't we try it once a long time ago?
Marius: Do you remember? Grandiflorum flowers and two Greek letters.
You: Sure, I remember you drew a Grandiflorum Flower on me last time, right?
Marius: I can't believe you remember. I guess my drawings made quite the impression on you.
Marius: Too bad we weren't together yet, so I couldn't draw you something more "special."
Marius: But that's not an issue anymore. I can draw whatever you want.
You: Grandiflorum flowers are special enough. What could be more special...?
Marius: Of course, it matches the Qixi Festival theme. And it'll be a painting that reflects our deep and immeasurable love.
You: Why does it seem like you have something up your sleeve again? You better come clean.
Marius: What do you mean? How could I be so mean-spirited?
Marius: I'm just being more explicit about our relationship.
You: Why does it sound like you're planning on getting a full body paint!? That's too much!
Marius: Hahaha, no way! All right, I'll stop teasing you. Here's what I have planned.
Marius: I just want to draw a pair of butterflies on your arm to reflect the atmosphere of the Qixi Festival.
You: I would prefer a simple design... After all, I still want to visit the lantern market.
Marius: Yeah, I think so too!
Marius: I just want to draw a pair of butterflies on your arm to match the new dress I prepared for you.
Marius: Now then, I'll tell you more about other activities in the lantern market after work!
