Only then did he truly understand his own heart.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was heartbreaking at that moment.
He realized that he loved her, didn't want her to die, and couldn't accept her absence.
He wanted to be with her forever.
Lu Yanxiu reached out and touched Xu Lingyi's face. Feeling the warm touch, his heart seemed to calm down a little.
Xu Lingyi slept from the afternoon until the next morning. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Yanxiu sitting beside the bed.
There seemed to be bloodshot in his eyes.
"Lu Yanxiu?"
"I'm here. Are you feeling better?"
He reached out and helped her sit up: "Are you hungry? The porridge and soup are ready."
After Xu Lingyi had a good sleep, she felt much better and had more strength.
"I feel much better now. I think I'm fine now. Don't worry about me. Did you not sleep well last night? Why are your eyes so red?"
Lu Yanxiu shook his head: "I'm fine."
When Xiao Fang heard the noise, he immediately came over with the porridge.
Just as Xu Lingyi was about to reach out to take it, Lu Yanxiu took the lead.
The next second the spoon was brought to her mouth.
"I can do it myself."
She spoke softly.
But Lu Yanxiu shook his head firmly: "I'll feed you."
Xu Lingyi pretended to be embarrassed: "This... is a bit bad."
"What's wrong?" Lu Yanxiu asked deliberately.
The atmosphere in this era tends to be conservative, and even couples don't hold hands when walking on the street.
"We're just friends, this is a bit too intimate."
Xu Lingyi cooperated with Lu Yanxiu calmly. She even shrank back to put some distance between them.
Lu Yanxiu put down the bowl, grabbed Xu Lingyi's waist with his big hands, and forced her to move towards him.
Xu Lingyi was almost brought into his arms because they were too close.
"I don't want to be just friends with you."
Lu Yanxiu looked at her seriously with a firm tone.
"We are not just ordinary friends. You said we are close friends."
Xu Lingyi shrank her neck and pretended to be a little panicked.
"I don't want to be your confidant, let alone just your good friend. Do you understand?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head weakly and stammered:
"I don't understand. Are you going to kick me out, or are you going to stop contacting me?"
Her words made Lu Yanxiu's eyebrows jump. There was no way he could accept that they were not in contact.
The thought of losing her filled him with lingering fear.
He took a deep breath, stared at Xu Lingyi with deep eyes, and spoke word by word.
"Xu Lingyi, I want to marry you, I want to be your husband, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I love you. Do you understand now?"
