Following his words, Shu Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "So Grandpa has been making me stay with you and letting us develop feelings for each other, is it because he wants us to get married?"
I thought the discussion would be about the origins of these families, but unexpectedly, the topic returned to the matter of marriage alliances.
Since there's no way to hide it anyway, and the atmosphere in the chat is just right, I might as well take this opportunity to clarify everything.
With a cigarette casually dangling from his lips, Zhang Youye calmly picked up his wine glass and clinked it against hers again.
Then, he looked up.
Then, the two looked at each other.
In her shimmering, moist eyes, his dark eyes overflowed with tenderness, like the surging sea.
"You're so smart, I can't hide anything from you. Anyway, you know how I feel. Shuyi, if you think I'm not bad, why don't you give it a try with me?"
"Okay." Without a moment's hesitation, Shu Yi nodded.
He seemed to be startled by her bluntness.
Zhang Youye, who had been extremely calm and composed, suddenly seemed to have been struck by a sharp sword, and was completely stunned.
He could no longer utter a coherent sentence, and could only stare at her blankly with wide eyes.
Beneath his flamboyant blond hair, his strikingly handsome face was filled with the words "unbelievable".
She chuckled, then got up from her chair and picked up the backpack she had tossed on the sofa.
She took out her ID card and household registration book, which she always carried with her, from a hidden compartment in her backpack and placed them in front of him.
"I always carry these things with me. Why don't you call home and ask your family to bring the documents? We can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the certificate, okay?"
Getting a marriage certificate right after confessing one's feelings—that's incredibly fast for a man, especially in just three seconds.
However, he liked it very much.
Completely captivated by her decisiveness, he became hopelessly addicted to each increasingly exaggerated fright.
Coming to my senses, I was a little worried that she might suddenly change her mind, so I stubbed out my cigarette and acted on instinct.
He snatched the documents from the table and held them tightly to his chest, still in disbelief.
"Are you serious? Are you really sure about this?"
"Really." Shu Yi nodded with a smile. "I told you before that I've fallen for you."
"Since Grandpa also wants to bring us together, and I have good feelings for you too. Besides, our two families are going to have a marriage alliance, and we'll be together sooner or later anyway, why don't we get our marriage certificate first? And..."
"And what? Tell me, tell me quickly!" Zhang Youye pressed urgently.
The man who was looking at her had an impatient expression on his face, as if he was determined to obtain the treasure deep in the sea. He stood alone on the deck.
Faced with towering waves and relentless wind and rain, he jumped into the water without hesitation, all for the treasure he desired most.
A sudden tightness gripped her heart, and Shu Yi's mind began to piece together the experiences she had shared with him during this time.
She sang in crowded places, skydived high in the sky, brought him cigarettes in the dead of night, and silently gazed at him under the clear moonlight.
It's only been a short time.
I've created so many shared memories with him.
Among these fragments of memory, Shu Yi gazed at his face silently for a long time.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; it seemed that no one could resist being moved by a man with such a strong youthful spirit.
Having waited a long time for her response, Zhang Youye became a little anxious: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
The chain of memories came to an abrupt halt because of his voice.
Watching him, like a child, still clutching his documents tightly to his chest, as if afraid someone would snatch them away.
Shu Yi shook her head helplessly, then reached out and ruffled his blond hair: "Besides, we've parachuted together. I've entrusted my life to you, so you could say we're friends through thick and thin, right? Most importantly..."
After a few seconds, Shu Yi let go of his hand, letting Hanxiao's gaze fix on his increasingly turbulent and frantic dark eyes.
"Most importantly, Zhang Youye, you are my type, so I'm willing to give it a try with you."
"I hope you won't let me down in the future."
The drawn-out syllable ended in mid-air, and the two fell silent once more.
The bubbling, molten lava was probably completely shattered by her words, like a castle wall suddenly attacked by her.
As the guardian of the castle, he had no desire to rebel.
She waited until she crossed a pile of ruins, came to him, pressed the spear in her hand against his throat, and asked him.
Would you like to go with her?
Is there even a need to ask this question?
Of course he would.
Looking at her outstretched palm, carefully placing the documents in his pocket aside, and gently taking her hand, Zhang Youye's Adam's apple bobbed.
Then, he suddenly exerted force, and without any warning, she fell into his arms.
"How could I possibly let you down, Shuyi?"
You have no idea how much I love you.
A fleeting glimpse in Jiaxing, a needle-in-a-haystack search for a missing person—who would have thought it would turn into this?
Swallowing the secret hidden deep in his heart, Zhang Youye leaned close to her ear, his voice low and satisfied.
"Shuyi, as long as you don't abandon me, I will never betray your heart."
The body is always more honest than the mind.
To succumb early is to fall into ruin early.
She had already fallen for him, Shu Yi thought, perhaps she had drowned in his abyss the very first time they met.
His unique aura spread throughout his body like the deadly poison of poppies.
She can become addicted, obsessed, and deeply entangled.
Perhaps she will end up like him.
A steadfast and unwavering infatuation.
