Seeing this, Si Yi suddenly sighed, "Lv Qiao, I'm not here to argue with you today. I just want to have a proper talk with you." He finished speaking in a low voice, with a hint of compromise in his tone.
Lü Qiao looked at him, opened her mouth as if to speak, and finally sat down on a chair next to him.
She lowered her head, somewhat unwilling to meet his gaze, and whispered, "Okay, go ahead and say it."
Seeing that she had softened, Si Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief, walked over, and sat down in the chair opposite her.
He didn't speak directly, but instead poured her a cup of tea and pushed the snacks on the table towards her.
"Eat something first."
Green Beauty had no appetite, "I..."
“You’ll still have to spend money even if you don’t eat it,” Si Yi interrupted her, his dark eyes fixed on her quietly.
Green Beauty: "..."
In the end, she took a petal-shaped pastry.
The pastries were exquisitely made and very fragrant. She had no appetite at first, but she couldn't help but eat two pieces later on.
After finishing her tea and putting down her cup, she noticed that Si Yi was staring at her the whole time, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Her face flushed slightly, but what came out of her mouth was, "The pastries are quite delicious. If you don't want any, I'll pack some up and take them home later. Bai Li, she really likes to eat Bai Li, I want to bring some for her."
After saying that, she felt like banging her head against the wall.
Why is she still thinking about food at a time like this?
"Whatever you want." Si Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After a pause, he thought of what Wen Nongnong had said, considered it for a moment, and then continued the previous topic, "I want to marry you. Will you... marry me?"
After saying that, he probably felt a little awkward, so he picked up his cup and drank some tea.
But his trembling eyelashes betrayed him.
Green Fairy looked at his long eyelashes and was amazed.
I feel like his eyelashes are longer than mine.
After waiting a moment and not hearing her reply, Si Yi put down his cup and looked up at her.
Then I saw her eyes staring blankly at my face.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lu Qiao snapped out of her daze, turning her face away somewhat embarrassedly. "N-nothing. By the way, what did you just say?"
Si Yi: "..."
So she didn't hear what he had been preparing for all this time?
He rubbed his temples and had no choice but to say again, "I want to marry you. I want to ask what you think and whether you are willing to marry me."
Green Beauty was stunned.
She twisted the hem of her dress with her fingers, and said hesitantly, "Why...why do you want to marry me? Is it because you want to take responsibility for me?"
If it's because you want to take responsibility for her, then forget it.
He was forced by circumstances at the time and had no choice. She couldn't expect him to take responsibility for her because of these things; otherwise, she would be truly heartless.
After all, he saved her; he was her benefactor.
Si Yi really thought about it seriously.
After a moment, he said, "At first, I wanted to marry you because I wanted to take responsibility for you, but now..."
Seeing that he stopped halfway through his sentence, Lü Qiao immediately stopped twisting the hem of her clothes, placed her hands on the table, held her breath, and waited for him to continue.
Si Yi suddenly reached out and grasped her hand, which was resting on the corner of the table.
She flinched, but did not break free.
“Lvqiao, although part of the reason I want to marry you is to take responsibility for you, I feel that more than that, it's because of you as a person,” Si Yi said slowly.
Previously, he was somewhat confused about his own feelings.
But when he saw the princess looking for a husband for her, he felt anxious, uneasy, and had a sense of urgency. He was afraid that if he was slow, the princess would really marry Lü Qiao off to someone else.
He didn't want to see her marry another man.
Just thinking about her becoming someone else's wife was unbearable for him; he felt an urge to destroy her.
"Lvqiao, I don't want you to marry someone else." He said firmly at the end.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao looked up at him and asked, "Why?"
Why?
Si Yi frowned and fell into deep thought.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Lü Qiao couldn't help but think of what her mistress had said.
Could it be that Si Yi had already fallen for her without realizing it?
Thinking of this, she mustered her courage and asked again, "Si Yi, do you...do you like me?"
Although she felt ashamed and blushed, this time, her gaze did not waver, but instead she looked at him firmly, wanting to hear an answer from him.
Si was taken aback when he heard her question.
She had asked this question before, but he hadn't answered it.
Now that she's asked again, he can no longer avoid the question.
Looking into the girl's clear, stubborn eyes, he paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Anyway, I don't dislike her."
This answer made Lü Qiao's face fall, and she felt a little disappointed. "What do you mean by not disliking me?"
Seeing her displeased expression, Si realized his answer was inappropriate, so he carefully chose his tone and said, "Of course I don't dislike it..."
"What is it?" Hope rekindled in Green's pretty eyes.
Si Yi met her hopeful gaze and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He picked up his teacup to drink some water and then mumbled, "Of course, I like it."
Green Beauty's lips curled up slightly, but she deliberately put on a serious face and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
Si frowned, glanced at her, put down the cup, stared at it, and said, "I like it."
"You like cups?" Green Qiao frowned, feeling that he was not being sincere enough. When he said he liked them, he wasn't looking at her, but at the cups.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi's handsome face flushed slightly, and he stared at her, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I like you."
After saying that, he realized what he had said and awkwardly looked away.
Women are such a hassle; they always make people say mushy, sentimental things.
This will be the only time; he will never say it again.
Compared to his awkwardness, Lü Qiao smiled broadly.
She finally heard Si Yi's feelings for her.
Thinking of his decisive words, her face turned red and hot, and her heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
When Si saw her like this, he was taken aback for a moment, but his unease finally dissipated. He smiled and asked, "And what about you?"
Greenie blushed and nodded, "Mmm."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi was somewhat dissatisfied, "Hmm, what do you mean? Explain yourself more clearly."
Lü Qiao said somewhat embarrassedly, "Si Yi, I'm a girl. You already know my answer in your heart, so can you please not ask so clearly?"
"But how can I know what you really think of me if you don't explain it clearly?" Si Yi wasn't willing to let her brush it off like that. "I want to marry you, and I want to hear your answer."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao could only stammer, "I...I like you, and I'm willing to marry you." After saying this, her face turned as red as blood, and she bit her lip tightly, lowering her head, not daring to look at him.
Therefore, she missed the joyful smile that appeared on Si Yi's face.
