Xu Cheng’an looked distressed: “When you’re happy, you praise me for being handsome and awesome, but once you’re done, you ignore me. When I take the initiative, you say I’m clingy!”
“…” Chen Jing covered her face, feeling beyond embarrassed.
So this was his indirect accusation of her being fickle and heartless? Who would have thought Xu Cheng’an, who seemed shy and timid, could be so articulate?
Xu Cheng’an was actually a bit shy too, after all, it was his first time, but he bravely overcame it!
He took Chen Jing’s hand from her face and held it in his palm, holding back his emotions: “Nothing to say?”
“Are you already tired of me even though we’ve just started dating?” He choked up, feeling indescribably hurt.
He couldn’t accept Shen Ran treating him this way. Forget being tired of him, even a slight coldness made him feel like the sky was falling.
Hearing the unusual tone in Xu Cheng’an’s voice, Chen Jing quickly looked up. When her gaze met his reddened eye corners, she was stunned: “Why are you crying again?”
Chen Jing felt both heartache and exasperation. The man was biting his lip, desperately suppressing tears – a sight that made one want to hug and comfort him.
But seeing a grown man cry was truly frustrating.
Chen Jing sighed in disappointment, compromising by kissing him and embracing him, patting his back.
“Good boy, don’t overthink. You’re so excellent, I love you more than anything, how could I possibly get tired of you?”
Facing such a fragile male lead, what else could she do? She could only coax him.
Xu Cheng’an wasn’t satisfied with her dismissive words. Holding her waist tightly, he started to be unreasonable: “Words are empty. You must take practical action.”
Chen Jing played along: “What practical action do you want?
Xu Cheng’an closed his eyes, without hesitation: “Marry me.”
Huh?
Chen Jing looked down in surprise: “Marry you?”
No way, they’d been dating for less than two days, and he wanted her to marry him? This plot was moving too fast!
Xu Cheng’an buried himself in her embrace, refusing to make eye contact, his tone resolute: “Yes, let’s register our marriage.”
Chen Jing was silent.
