"No way!" Li Bingchen said anxiously, looking at Yun Duo, "We're good friends. Of course you have to tell me if anything happens. You have to come to me when you need help. We're good friends, you can't treat me like a stranger."
Taking the opportunity, Yun Duo said, "Then tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
“I…” Li Bingchen looked at Yun Duo and found that her eyes were very persistent. She really wanted to know what had happened to him recently. After thinking it over, he finally made up his mind and said, “Okay, I will tell you, but you can’t be angry with me.”
Yun Duo felt that she didn't have the energy to argue with a child whose mental age was much younger than hers (are you sure?), so she nodded and said to Li Bingchen, "Go ahead and say it, I promise I won't get angry."
"Did you say that?" Li Bingchen asked, looking at Yun Duo for confirmation, a little uneasy.
“Yes, I said so.” Yun Duo nodded.
Li Bingchen was still a little hesitant, but Yun Duo was staring at him intently, which left him no time to delay. He could only speak quickly: "My father wants me to marry you."
Li Bingchen spoke incredibly fast, so fast that Yun Duo couldn't even hear him clearly. She even picked at her ear before asking, "No, speak slower. Your father... oh, His Majesty the King, what does he want to do?"
Some things are easier to say the first time, so seeing that Yun Duo was determined to get to the bottom of it, Li Bingchen had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "My father hopes that I can marry you."
What is this all about?
Was she hallucinating?
Was she hallucinating?
Are you hallucinating?
Yun Duo felt a little confused, her mind went blank for a moment, as if she had frozen up. She almost muttered to herself, "Huh? So?"
As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously and said, "No, Li Bingchen, what are you talking about? Did you not sleep well last night and had a dream all night? Are you still not awake and talking in your sleep to me?"
He paused, chuckled twice, and continued, "His Majesty the King hopes you will marry me, hopes I will marry you? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I'm from the countryside, a country girl who grew up there. Doesn't he care that my rustic smell might tarnish the noble air of your royal family?"
"How old are we anyway?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Yun Duo's words infuriated Li Bingchen. He didn't even bother to read the rest of what she said and yelled at her, "What do you mean by 'country bumpkin'? What do you mean by 'rustic'? What do you mean by 'royal air'?"
"So what if we're from the countryside? Hundreds of years ago, who wasn't a country person? Going back even further, didn't our ancestors all live in caves wrapped in leaves and animal skins? Who's more rustic than whom? Who's more noble than whom?"
"If we're talking about being valuable, aren't you, Gu Yunduo, the legitimate daughter of one of the four great families of China, more valuable than me, an illegitimate child of royalty?"
"Gu Yunduo! You're trying to drive me crazy!"
As Li Bingchen spoke, he stomped his foot forcefully, his eyes turning red with anger.
Seeing Li Bingchen staring intently at her with his red, rabbit-like eyes, looking furious and exasperated, Yun Duo was completely stunned.
