Shen Liang felt that Shi Murou was acting worse today than before.
Shi Murou might have acted childishly before, but she had never been so resolute or forceful in demanding anything of him.
He had his own plans, so of course he didn't want to write the guarantee.
"Rou'er, my feelings for you are genuine. Sincerity should be kept in the heart; writing it down would just be a formality."
Shen Liang gently coaxed Shi Murou, putting his arm around her shoulder.
When Shi Murou met his affectionate eyes, she almost softened, but then she remembered that he had an arranged marriage back in his hometown, and she could only proceed with the next step after obtaining a guarantee.
"No, I want a guarantee. Forget about formalities. Since you care about me, it won't matter if you write a guarantee. Just write one to make me happy."
Shi Murou grabbed Shen Liang's arm and shook it, showing no sign of giving up.
Shen Liang's brow twitched; he was somewhat annoyed, but he couldn't show it, and his expression was already quite unpleasant.
Seeing him like this, Shi Murou felt a pang of anxiety.
"I know, you don't want to write. You're not sincere with me at all; you're just after something new."
Shi Murou let go of Shen Liang's arm, turned to one side, her cheeks puffed up with anger, but her eyes were filled with tears, ready to fall at any moment.
Seeing that her shoulders began to twitch slightly, Shen Liang took a deep breath and said with a hint of helplessness.
"Okay, I'll write it down and give it to you after we finish eating. But you have to make sure you keep it safe. We haven't arranged a marriage yet, and it wouldn't be good if someone saw it."
Shi Murou wiped away her tears and immediately smiled.
She pressed her slightly chubby face against Shen Liang's face and kissed him several times in a row.
"I knew Brother Shenliang loved me."
“I’m not going to use it for anything else. I just want to take it out and look at it whenever you’re not around, so I can feel your affection for me.”
Shen Liang wanted to avoid Shi Murou, but Shi Murou's makeup was too thick, leaving marks on his face and clothes every time.
Moreover, she didn't suit his taste in looks. Every time they were intimate, he would imagine her face as Qiao Xi'er.
But considering his future prospects, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.
After Shen Liang finished eating, Shi Murou had already prepared the ink in the study.
"Write more, don't think you can get rid of me with just a few lines, I won't stand for it."
Shen Liang had no choice but to first arrange a sentence in his mind before he began to write.
He wrote down his true feelings, made promises, and outlined the consequences of breaking his vows. After finishing, he didn't want to look at it again and handed it to Shi Murou.
Shi Murou was very happy. She dried it on the stove, looked at it with delight several times, and then folded it up and put it in her sleeve.
“Brother Shenliang, I can rest assured now. You can focus on studying mathematics and becoming an apprentice. I will solve all your problems so that you can concentrate on your future.”
Shen Liang didn't understand the hidden meaning. He stayed with Shi Murou for a while longer. As the sun set, Shi Murou left Datong Lane with the guarantee in her pocket.
She skipped and hopped, laughing and joking with her maid, as if she were holding a precious treasure.
Shen Liang saw Shi Murou out of the courtyard and stood at the door, watching her get further and further away, and couldn't help but wonder.
Is Shi Murou really that happy with just a letter of guarantee?
But a smile quickly appeared on his face, which meant that Shi Murou was easy to coax and deceive. Even if he had wronged her in the future, he could just coax her back.
