"What's there to be embarrassed about? Don't keep yourself cooped up." He held her in one arm and used his hand to lift her head, which was buried in his chest.
I was talking to her so earnestly, but it made her so shy. If I hadn't found a place for her to cover herself up, her face would have turned as red as if she had just finished a marathon.
Just as they pulled her little head out of the water, Bai Xiaoruo buried her face in Xian Mingyu's arms again.
I was really embarrassed to look at him; I felt so ashamed.
"You haven't said yes yet, huh?"
"Hmm."
She responded with a muffled sound.
"say."
"I agree."
She spoke very softly.
"I didn't hear you clearly, speak louder."

"Huh? Aren't we buying any New Year's goods?"
"I won't buy anything. I'll take you out shopping after we finish eating."
"Oh, you have so many relatives! They've already come over on New Year's Eve? Do they all live in the US?"
Xuan Mingyu stopped in his tracks and looked at Bai Xiaoruo beside him. "You and I are relatives of our family."
