"You need to carry me down."
Su Xiaoxiao was startled by Shan Jiaxi's words and instinctively took a step back.
Dan Jinxi quickly and carefully supported her. When his gaze swept over Dan Jiaxi again, a cold and fierce look appeared in his eyes, which made him startled.
He immediately gave his older brother an 'OK' sign and then spoke to Su Xiaoxiao in a serious tone.
"Young lady, I'm a single, eligible bachelor and I don't mind, so why are you hiding? Besides, if Nangong Yi hadn't given these instructions, do you think I would have dared to do this?"
"Can't I walk slowly?"
Su Xiaoxiao persisted, and at this moment, her hands, which were gripping the sides of her skirt, clenched into fists.
She knew that Shan Jiaxi wouldn't do anything to her, but she was still a little unaccustomed to having a strange man carry her downstairs.
Shan Jiaxi knew it would turn out this way, but they didn't believe it at the time.
Well, now we've really been caught in his jinx.
“Su Xiaoxiao, I can help you down slowly, but you’re wearing high heels. If you accidentally slip, I’ll definitely have to help you, and there will inevitably be physical contact. If I accidentally touch something I shouldn’t, Nangong Yi will chop off my hands.”
"..."
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao had fallen silent, Shan Jiaxi quickly continued, "Please, Nangong Yi is already glaring at me over there. Let's not waste any more time."
"..."
Su Xiaoxiao fell silent again, as if she was considering something.
However!
"ah--"
Suddenly, Shan Jinxi picked Su Xiaoxiao up in his arms. After a gasp, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Shan Jiaxi, are you looking for death?!"
"Little aunt, once this is over, you can hit me or scold me as you please. I just ask that you don't move around right now, I need to carry you downstairs."
Shan Jiaxi didn't expect Shan Jinxi to force himself on him, so he quickly followed and explained.
The two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Su Xiaoxiao had suddenly quieted down.
Dan Jinxi carefully carried Su Xiaoxiao downstairs. With each step he took, images of their past life together would flash through his mind, and the tenderness in his eyes deepened at that moment.
From the second floor to the first floor, it was only a short flight of about twenty steps, but Shan Jinxi felt as if he had been carrying Su Xiaoxiao for a very long time.
Su Xiaoxiao once told him that if she were to get married one day, she would have to follow their local custom and have her brother carry her downstairs when she came out of the room to go downstairs.
He agreed immediately, and he was disheartened after Su Xiaoxiao's death.
Now that he knows she is still alive and well, he wants to keep his promise.
Even though he used such a 'despicable' method, he didn't regret it.
However, he didn't know why Su Xiaoxiao was so quiet at the moment.
When she had instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck in fright, she had smelled a faint scent of ginger on his clothes.
The way he carefully carried her downstairs made her even more certain that he wasn't Shan Jiaxi.
But she didn't say it, as if she was afraid of something.
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao let go of his hands and leaned against him with a sense of security and peace of mind, waiting for him to slowly carry her downstairs.
She already guessed what Nangong Yi was going to do tonight, but she didn't expect him to do it this way.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat, but not wanting to give herself away, she deliberately raised her head in front of Shan Jinxi and said earnestly, "Shan Jiaxi, is Nangong Yi going to propose to me?"
