"..." Ouyang Xiu was stunned. He didn't expect Dongfang Lian's opposition to be so strong. He expected that she would be right, but it was so fierce...
"Lian'er." At that moment, he couldn't control his excitement and hugged her tightly. He put his head between her warm neck and said with some choking, "Lian'er, I know you are worried about me, but
, I am a man, and I want to protect my woman. I don’t need your protection, Lian’er, I can protect myself. Don’t make me feel so incompetent, okay, I want to protect you.”
"Xiu...I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
It seemed that she ignored his self-esteem as a man, but she really just wanted him to be safe.
"Stop arguing, Lian'er, although I want to take the imperial examination, but looking at the Huang country, there are so many talented people, and they may not necessarily be in high school. The rules of the Huang country are that only those who get the top prize in the exam will be truly valued. If I fail the exam,
It’s no use winning the first prize. You’ll be laughed at, and maybe your whole career will be ruined.”
"You will definitely win."
Dongfang Lian looked at him quietly, "With your talent, if you were not in high school, the examiner would suspect that there is something wrong with your eyesight."
"Haha, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes, so Lian'er, don't think so much. I have decided that I must take part in the imperial examination, and I have told my family. I don't know how happy my grandfather is. He
Now I pray to God every day, hoping that I will go to high school. I haven’t seen my grandfather’s smile for a long time, and even for this reason, I can’t change my mind. I’m sorry, Lian’er.”
Ouyang Xiu is still stubborn, and what he has decided will not be changed easily.
Having said this, Dongfang Lian also knew that he could not change this man's decision.
She could only think of other ways to prevent him from getting involved so deeply.
"Lian'er, after these things are over, let's fly away... No, you marry me." Ouyang Xiu looked at Dongfang Lian enthusiastically, "Marry me, Lian'er."
"I……"
She once said that if he proposed, she would agree to marry him.
"Okay. Ouyang Xiu, I will marry you."
She said firmly.
"real?"
Ouyang Xiu really couldn't believe that she actually agreed.
He thought about these words for a long time but did not dare to say them.
Although she had hinted, he always suspected that he might have made a mistake.
Until this moment, when he heard that she agreed to marry him, he... was so happy.
He hugged her and walked around in circles a few times, "That's great, Lian'er. When will we get married? I will prepare a betrothal gift and come to your house to propose marriage tomorrow."
"I'm a little anxious. Besides, it may not be easy for us to get married, Ouyang Xiu. You have to be mentally prepared."
"I know."
He knew those things without her having to tell them. But he showed sincerity.
"Lian'er, do you think my proposal is sudden?"
He rarely talks about the things he loves and likes in front of her.
But he thought, Dongfang Lian understood.
She must understand every look in his eyes and every word he wants to say.
"It's not sudden, but... it's something I've been looking forward to for a while. Xiu, there's no need to say too much between us. I understand."
Ouyang Xiu is a reserved person. Just because of his greed and the fact that he has always cared about her feelings, she has always ignored him in the previous life. Now, no longer.
