She took a deep breath and said, "Actually, the person I want to get engaged to is you!"
Xiao Jie's hand that was pinching the corner of his clothes actually tightened.
Zhang Xiulin continued, "After I returned from Tangzhou Prefecture and passed the imperial examination, many people came to propose marriage. I was obsessed with studying and the imperial examination, and didn't want to get involved in a love affair too early. But..."
Xiao Jie's heart was pounding, and his intuition told him that what Zhang Xiulin was about to say would shock him.
Zhang Xiulin: "But... whether it's now or in the future, I'm getting engaged, and I only hope that person is you."
Fearing it wasn't solemn enough, she repeated herself, "Xiaojie, I want to get engaged to you. Are you willing?"
After finally saying it, Zhang Xiulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart was lifted again.
Although it was Xiaojie who asked Aunt Song to propose marriage before, will Xiaojie agree now?
After all, Xiaojie was so sad because of the misunderstanding before.
The room was very quiet, and only the shallow breathing of the two people could be heard.
Just as Zhang Xiulin's eyes grew dimmer, the small figure on the bed slowly turned around.
Zhang Xiulin was delighted and gave him a flattering smile.
Xiao Jie pursed his lips, glanced at her quickly, and then looked away.
"You, are you serious? You really aren't engaged to Han Luo?"
Zhang Xiulin nodded quickly: "Really." It's realer than real gold.
"Is it a misunderstanding?"
"Yes, it was a misunderstanding."
The room fell silent again.
After a long while, Xiao Jie muttered something again.
But because the voice was too soft, Zhang Xiulin didn't hear it.
"Xiaojie, what did you just say? Speak louder."
Xiao Jie glared at her fiercely, like a tiger cub with bared fangs and claws. After thinking for a while, he mustered up the courage to repeat himself.
The sound of the car was still quiet, but slightly louder than the previous one.
Zhang Xiulin finally heard it.
Xiao Jie was asking, "Do you really want to get engaged to me?"
Zhang Xiulin smiled brightly, stared at him seriously, and gave a definite answer.
"Yes, I just want to get engaged to you, Xiaojie."
Xiao Jie stared at her blankly for a while, then smiled sweetly, like a child who had eaten candy. His fair cheeks turned slightly red, and he felt a little shy.
"Sister Lin, remember this, you must get engaged if you promise."
"Well, I will definitely get engaged to you." After saying that, he took out a small pendant.
The small pendant is transparent and in the shape of a star, with a red string passing through it.
This was bought by Zhang Xiulin with the money he saved from copying books.
"This is for you."
Xiao Jie looked at the star pendant in his palm, which was full of luster and sparkle, and his eyes lit up. It was more dazzling than the stars.
Is this the engagement token Sister Lin gave him? Hehe, it must be!
Sister Lin really wants to get engaged to him.
He knew that his previous feeling was correct and Sister Lin liked him.
Xiao Jie's heart seemed to have wings, and he wanted to fly and spin in circles.
Xiao Jie stuffed the small pendant back into Zhang Xiulin's hand and leaned his little head towards her: "Help me, put it on, put it on."
Zhang Xiulin smiled and put the small pendant around Xiao Jie's neck.
The bright red rope makes the slender neck look even whiter.
Xiao Jie picked up the small pendant and looked at it. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he loved it very much.
After reluctantly looking at it, he hid the pendant in his clothes again. Not wanting others to see it, he patted it gently. Those who didn't know would think he was hiding some great treasure.
Zhang Xiulin smiled silently, but his eyes softened a little.
