Shen Shuangjian eventually sneaked out to see Xie Jinghui.
Anyway, Shen Sixian didn't know who he was going to see or where he was going. He pretended to shed a couple of tears, and Shen Sixian naturally gave in.
So that morning, Shen Shuangjian and Xie Jinghui met outside the Shen Residence.
Shen Shuangjian his car; before that, he had been encouraging himself with a courage he didn't know where he came from.
"Good afternoon."
Xie Jinghui was driving himself today. He sat in the driver's seat, dressed in a suit and tie, looking refined and handsome. His wristwatch gleamed slightly on his arm resting on the steering wheel, and the veins on the back of his hand made his long, slender joints even more apparent.
Good afternoon, Mr. Xie.
Out of politeness, even though he felt a little numb, Shen Shuangjian still sat in the passenger seat. He kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Xie Jinghui.
Shen Shuangjian very beautiful today.
Xie Jinghui secretly glanced at him several times, but Shen Shuangjian didn't notice.
Perhaps because she was still young, Shen Shuangjian a strong boyish air about her and didn't seem like a young adult at all.
His soft, white fur-lined clothes made his already translucent skin appear even whiter, like delicate, smooth jade porcelain, which, when illuminated by the light, revealed a faint pink hue.
When Shen Shuangjian an expression, the aloofness and coldness in her features fade away, and her slightly upturned eyes are brownish-red, like a cat's or a little fox's.
His long, smooth hair was tied back, with a white hair tie falling in, creating a striking color contrast.
Xie Jinghui a while before remembering to ask, so he asked, "Where are we going?"
However, at this moment, Shen Shuangjian was immersed in her own shyness, not looking up, not replying, and it was even unclear whether she had heard him or not.
So Xie Jinghui, "May I just walk around a bit?"
Shen Shuangjian hesitated, considering whether or not to tell Xie Jinghui the truth.
"May I?"
What's okay? Marriage?
Shen Shuangjian look up blankly, she subconsciously replied, "Yes, we can get married."
Upon hearing this, both of them froze on the spot. Meeting Xie Jinghui's gaze, Shen Shuangjian finally realized what she had said.
Oh no, how embarrassing...
Shen Shuangjian her skin was so fair that even the slightest mark or discoloration would be extremely noticeable.
Noticing that her fair, delicate neck was gradually turning crimson, Xie Jinghui chuckled softly, which, to Shen Shuangjian's ears, meant that she had been amused.
Xie Jinghui, wanting to test this delicate kitten, moved closer and whispered, "What marriage? With me?"
"..."
Shen Shuangjian lowered her head and remained silent like a quail.
It seemed a bit too radical, Xie Jinghui.
"Feel sorry..."
"Marry me."
Xie Jinghui had only finished his apology when he suddenly heard Shen Shuangjian's weak voice.
Shen Shuangjian repeated, "Could you... marry me?"
Xie Jinghui was completely stunned.
However, at this moment, Shen Shuangjian seemed to have been mentally prepared, and somewhat nervously looked up and grabbed Xie Jinghui's arm.
I want to marry you.
Shen Shuangjian had never been in a relationship and didn't know what dating or marriage was like.
His only knowledge came from the physiology class he took in junior high school and from seeing other couples together while he was abroad.
If it's seduction...
Shen Shuangjian hesitated before slowly approaching Xie Jinghui's lips.
It was a kiss that ended almost as soon as it touched her.
It was very light and soft, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, and the wind it stirred up was very weak, yet it could easily sweep through Xie Jinghui's heart like a hurricane.
Do you know what you're saying?
Xie Jinghui grasped Shen Shuangjian's wrist, bringing the boy, who had been teasing her but wanted to run away, back with him.
"Why do you want to marry me?"
Xie Jinghui's gaze was deep. He looked down at Shen Shuangjian, but no matter what, he couldn't understand why Shen Shuangjian insisted on marrying him.
The Shen Family was extremely wealthy, and Shen Sixian treated him very well.
So, is the only remaining reason the most absurd-sounding one?
Shen Shuangjian spoke haltingly, "Because, because I like you very much."
Xie Jinghui. "You like me?"
Shen Shuangjian nodded gently. "Mmm..."
Such words are truly heart-pounding.
So Xie Jinghui his hand and asked again, "What do you like? Can you tell me?"
The reasons for liking something seem easy to find, but difficult to articulate.
Shen Shuangjian a little hesitant to speak, but even more hesitant to remain silent.
His voice trembled as he said, "The first time I saw you, you were sitting in the garden reading a book. You were so gentle and refined, that's why I liked you."
This reason may sound perfunctory and lacking in depth, but it is precisely this that carries a straightforward sincerity.
Xie Jinghui, "What if we met in a different place, I changed my clothes, and I was doing something else, and the feeling I gave you was completely different? Would that mean this affection would disappear?"
It sounds true, and it seems to be the truth, as Shen Shuangjian honestly admitted.
Shen Shuangjian nodded, but immediately shook her head. "However, given other possibilities, I would still like it..."
Xie Jinghui tilted his head slightly, resting it on his knuckles. He looked at Shen Shuangjian with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He asked, "Why?"
Shen Shuangjian raised her head slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "Because you are very beautiful."
Shen Shuangjian genuinely honest; he wasn't worried at all about what he did or said that might make others dislike or mind.
Children who grow up surrounded by love never need to feel insecure or lost.
Such a cute and straightforward answer even made Xie Jinghui Jinghui's lips curl into a smile. He looked at Shen Shuangjian with deep eyes, while his fingers twirled a strand of the boy's hair.
"If I didn't look like this, and we met in the garden of the Shen Residence, would you still like me, still want to date me, and marry me?"
Shen Shuangjian a slight wrinkle on the tip of her nose, seemingly unable to grasp his hypothetical scenario. "For example..."
Xie Jinghui thought for a moment. "For example, my features are average, and I'm short. So, if you disregard my face, what else would you like about me?"
This time, Shen Shuangjian answered very decisively.
"I can't let it go."
His honesty is frustrating; it makes you want to get angry, but as soon as you see his serious expression, you can't help but soften your heart.
Shen Shuangjian seemed to be answering Xie Jinghui very seriously.
He said, "Let's not talk about that."
As expected, it's an innocent and beautiful little butterfly, only attracted to pretty, bright, and dazzling things that will make it stay.
But this is fine too.
Xie Jinghui smiled, then finally became serious again. "Okay, then I'm very lucky."
Xie Jinghui looked up and asked in a low voice.
"So, would you like to have a relationship with me, with marriage in mind, starting now?"
