The translation of your text is: "After ten years of unrequited love for my childhood friend, I finally woke up to find a new crush. I decisively shifted my affections, only to discover that this guy had also been secretly in love with me for ten years?"
After ten years of close friendship, were we just like siblings?
The guy I secretly loved for a decade suddenly announced his relationship and shamelessly wanted to make me his sister.
Later, he stood in a sea of flowers, crying as he humbly asked me, "Sandra, I was wrong. Can I take care of you from now on?"
I took the necklace out of my bag, placed it in his palm, and said coldly, "You might be into adopting sisters everywhere, but mine never lacks relatives. As for taking care of me, that's unnecessary!"

My dad sent a message in the neighborhood group chat. He said, "Everyone come home for dinner tonight, I have good news to announce."
Jace Jones immediately replied, "Since everyone will be there, I have something to say too."
The private group chat for kids from our neighborhood instantly exploded with activity.
His friend Christopher Blake teased Jace, "What, bringing your girlfriend home to meet the parents?"
My heart skipped a beat.
Jace replied shortly, "Oh, shut up." Then he tagged me in the group chat and added, "It's about Sandra."
The group erupted with teasing.
"Ooh~ Looks like our Sandra is finally getting her happy ending~" someone replied.
"Only our Sandra can handle Jace." someone added.
As everyone could see, my affection for Jace wasn't a secret in the courtyard, and I thought Jace knew it too.
"Alright, stop guessing. You'll know tomorrow," after sending this message, Jace went silent.
Several friends sent me private messages, congratulating me on finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone would think their patience had finally paid off, right?
That night, I was too excited to sleep.
Jace was almost the last to arrive, but he had a very pretty girl with him, carrying a gift box.
The bustling family dinner suddenly fell silent.
Jace's father, Jason Jones sipped his tea, looking slightly annoyed, and said, "Since it's a family dinner, why bring an outsider?"
Jace chuckled, took the gift box from the girl's hands, and looked at me, saying, "Actually, I have something to say to Sandra today."
The moment our eyes met, my heart pounded like thunder.
Jace walked toward me and slowly opened the gift box in front of me. The icy blue gemstone necklace glistened under the warm light.
Jace smiled warmly, saying, "This necklace is for you. I'm grateful for your companionship all these years and I know your feelings for me."
My mind went blank, and tears welled up in my eyes. I had imagined countless dreamy scenarios of him walking toward me. I stared at him in a daze, the words caught in my throat.
Finally, the teasing voices of friends brought me back to reality, and I heard Jace say, "But I've always seen you as a sister. I don't want you to waste any more time on me, so tonight, I want everyone to be here as I make this announcement. If you're willing, I can make you my sister."
His tone was so natural, and all the hopes I had were shattered by his words.
I still remembered that winter, with snow falling all around, when Jace took my hand and told me with deep emotion that I was the love of his life and asked me to wait for him, but now, everything I believed in was overturned by his few words.
God knew how much I wanted to muster all my courage and sincerely ask him, "Have you ever, even for a moment, liked me?"
I looked up and glanced around at my friends and family, and when I turned back to him, the breath I was holding seemed to dissipate.
I obediently took the necklace and put it around my neck, forcing a smile and saying, "Jace, my dear friend, does it look good?"
Jace's eyes were full of joy, he nodded, and then said, "Actually, there's another good news to announce today," he turned and held the hand of the pretty girl, bringing her in front of everyone, their fingers naturally interlocked. He said, "Let me introduce you all, Xenia Spencer is my fiancée."
