Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: She’s Not Worthy
The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.
They were indeed still young. She was only nineteen this year, just starting her first year at university.
He was in his third year, but still a university student.
Talking about marriage now was indeed too early.
"I’m not saying we should get married now, but in the future. Haven’t you thought about marrying me?"
Yan Yuexian’s heart was pounding. How could she not have thought about it?
She dreamt of quickly graduating and marrying him, but... she wasn’t qualified.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Gong Sirui’s sense of crisis grew.
Not even daring to answer, was she really just playing around?
No, he could feel that Yan Yuexian liked him.
"Yuexian, are you hiding something from me?"
"No!" Yan Yuexian instinctively retorted.
Then, feeling she had responded too quickly, she forced a smile, "I just think we’re still young, and it’s hard to accept considering marriage so soon. Look at any university students in a relationship talking about marriage?"
Gong Sirui’s gaze was deep and steady as he stared at her.
"Are you coming to my birthday or not?"
Yan Yuexian opened her mouth, "Alright."
Gong Sirui finally sighed in relief.
He felt that it was necessary to get engaged first, to settle the matter of marriage.
"Yuexian, what exactly are you worried about?"
Gong Sirui couldn’t understand. Since they liked each other, were of equal status, and their relationship had been developing smoothly, marriage was inevitable.
Why was she always so hesitant?
"No, it’s just that I’m not mentally prepared. Which girl isn’t nervous about meeting the parents?"
"Is that really all?"
"Yes, truly, it’s late; let’s head back now."
Afraid he would notice something, Yan Yuexian quickly turned around to pack her things.
Gong Sirui stood behind her, his brow tightly furrowed, "You’re hiding something from me."
Yan Yuexian’s heart was frantic, afraid he would keep asking. She suddenly turned, wrapped her arms around his neck, and tiptoed to press her soft lips against his.
Gong Sirui was momentarily stunned, flames instantly igniting in his eyes.
One hand gripped her waist, the other held her head, taking control and deepening the kiss.
As for what he was going to ask earlier, it was all forgotten.
Once the kiss ended, Gong Sirui reluctantly pecked her lips lightly.
The hand wrapped around her waist tightened, blending their warmth together.
"I really want you to graduate soon."
He wanted to get married, but she was only nineteen, too young.
Yan Yuexian didn’t respond to that topic, turning to pack the Scorched Tail Zither.
Gong Sirui reached out, took the zither, and slung it over his left shoulder.
"Don’t practice the zither so late from now on; it’s cold in winter."
In the midst of speaking, he affectionately reached out, intending to pinch her nose, reddened from the cold.
Yan Yuexian stepped back, avoiding his touch.
Gong Sirui’s hand froze in mid-air, "Why do you always not let me pinch your nose?"
Even her face she rarely lets him pinch. Sometimes he’d just start and she’d say it hurt.
Yan Yuexian gave him a light glare, "It hurts."
Gong Sirui didn’t tease her, wrapped his scarf around her neck, and then embraced her as they walked back.
Yan Yuexian lived in a luxury single room, and when she returned to the dormitory, she was alone.
She tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Yan Yuexian got up.
Gong Sirui’s parents originally planned to come in the evening, but suddenly arrived early, joining them for breakfast.
It caught Yan Yuexian completely off guard.
