Si Yeming understood her meaning, she spoke out of feeling, hoping the tragedy of her parents wouldn't fall upon herself.
He hugged her tight, his dark eyes sparkling and shining, and his thin lips slightly raised, "Okay, you have to remember what you've said. You'll grow old with me, understand?"
"Mhm, I'll remember, and you have to remember too." Chen Zhi felt truly happy at this moment, and her words were sincere, but she didn't know that life is always full of uncertainties, nor could she have anticipated so many changes in her life.
While they anxiously waited, Si Xi finally arrived.
He came alone, and they greeted him with smiles, inviting him to sit down and eat without discussing anything else.
Si Xi also pretended not to mention the matter of his father's wedding; they played dumb, and so did he. After dinner, Si Chengye asked him to go to the study with him, saying he had something to tell him.
