"Ayu, do you mean what you just said?" he asked as he grasped her hand, nervously.
Chen's mother wiped the tears from her face, thinking how embarrassed she had just made herself look.
"You're not dead, so of course..."
"So do you want me to go die right now for you to agree to marry me?" Si Chengye raised his voice, interrupting her, not wanting her to have any second thoughts.
He'd finally heard her agree, and if he didn't seize the opportunity, he'd be a fool.
"I don't know, let's talk about it when we get back!" Chen's mother pulled her hand away and turned to walk away, but she couldn't help slightly curving up the corners of her mouth.
She was too embarrassed to admit it, and Si Chengye, thinking she was going to renege, hurried after her.
"Ayu, you haven't answered my question. Are you really agreeing to marry me?"
"Oh, can't you just stop asking?" Chen's mother said, waving her hand impatiently.
