Doing It for Other People to See

Shi Xiaoya's heart was palpitating rapidly.

"It's my fault. I actually neglected such an important thing like proposing." Han Zhuoling minced his lips and felt very displeased with himself. "Serves me right that you won't agree to marrying me."

Shi Xiaoya gaped and exhaled in relief at the same time.

So that was it. It scared her so much.

"I just said that casually. I didn't treat it as an issue," Shi Xiaoya explained. "I just went with the topic and said that without thinking too much about it. I just said it to tease you, not that I really minded not getting a proposal."

But seeing how Han Zhuoling was behaving, the person who really minded was clearly him and not her.

Shi Xiaoya thought about it and said, "Before I met you, I'd never had a boyfriend. Romance was not a thought I had, and when it comes to marriage, I just felt that I'm still young. As for getting a proposal, I never thought of it before either.
