Bai Zhi smiled, "Aren't you scared?"
"What are you afraid of? You've helped me before. How could I be afraid of someone as kind as you?"
Bai Zhi looked at the innocent Lin Xiaoxiao and couldn't bear to see her get hurt. He patted her head and said, "Maybe your father is right. It would be more dangerous for you to marry me. It would be a good thing for you to stay away from me."
"No." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Brother Bai Zhi, we agreed on this. Do you want me to marry that gigolo?"
"I will tell your father not to let you marry that man and ask him to find a good match for you." Bai Zhi touched Lin Xiaoxiao's head and looked at her with a bit of heartache. Even his words were spoken much slower.
"I don't want it!" Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Brother Baizhi, we already agreed on this. How can you go back on your word? After the wedding, I'll be alone at home. I won't follow you out. No one will know me, so how can they hurt me? Don't worry, everything will be fine. Just do as we agreed before and go find my father to get married again. What if he agrees this time?"
"Little girl, I'm worried!" Bai Zhi continued. Lin Xiaoxiao was helpless and rolled her eyes at him, "Coward."
"Hmph!" She turned away. "A grown man is worse than a little girl like me. What can he accomplish if he's so scared? He goes back on his word after making an agreement. Is that what a grown man does?

"No..." Bai Zhi was interrupted by Lin Xiaoxiao just after saying two words, "If it's not, then why don't you go and propose marriage? If it doesn't work the first time, go again. Whether I can get married depends on you."
Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and was about to go out when she remembered something and looked back at Bai Zhi and said, "Brother Bai Zhi, we should all look at our feet more. Who can predict the future? Only when we are comfortable in the present can we be comfortable.
Besides, Brother Bai Zhi, you are braver than me!"
After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao opened the door and left.
But Bai Zhi was silent for a long time, and finally murmured: "Brave? I just want to live."
