Chen's mother, upon seeing him, felt like she was looking at Si Chengye in his youth.
The love and hatred of those youthful days surged in her heart, leaving her overwhelmed with emotions.
"It's me, I'm back." Despite knowing that his words were foolish, Chen Xiangyu still played along and answered him.
Si Chengye moved forward excitedly and grabbed her hand, holding on tightly, his dark eyes burning into hers, "Ayu, don't leave me again. I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have hurt you, I won't do anything to hurt you ever again, please don't leave me, okay?"
"Mhm, I won't leave you again," Chen Xiangyu nodded with a smile, her eyes moist and on the verge of tears.
Si Chengye truly loved her. If she hadn't chosen to leave back then, perhaps the ending would have been different.
With her assurance, Si Chengye broke into a foolish, happy smile, but in Chen Xiangyu's eyes, he was very adorable.
"Ayu, I'm here to marry you," he said, staring at her, out of the blue.
