……

……

……？

Yan Jingxing was completely stunned.

Yes?

What is she—what is she talking about?

Did I hear it wrong?

But Xie Yuzhi's expression was so serious that he even dispelled the idea of wanting to confirm it again.

He knew he heard him right.

Even though Yan Jingxing felt that he had been fully mentally prepared before he came, he was still shocked by Miss Xie's shocking speech just now.

No...... I thought it was just a confession, just like it was written on the TV screen, saying "I like you" to each other-

Yan Jingxing felt very shy just by fantasizing about this step, for fear that he was making himself amorous, but on the other hand, Miss Xie ......

Why did you suddenly jump to get married??

We're both junior high school students, right?

In this era when early love is regarded as a flood beast, boys and girls will be looked at differently if they say a few more words, and there are 38 lines drawn in white chalk on the same table......

And if you want to break the taboo and enjoy the excitement, Yan Jingxing wants to break her head, and at most she can only think of two people who were a little couple in junior high school, enjoying the pleasure of secretly falling in love under the noses of teachers, classmates and parents-

That's exciting enough for him.

What to get married or not, such a topic is too far away for Yan Jingxing now.

He couldn't help but sigh again, Miss Xie really didn't look like a child of the same grade as him at all, whether it was the perspective of looking at people and the world, or the way of thinking......

"You may be mistaken."

Xie Yuzhi naturally noticed the shock on Yan Jingxing's face.

It's up to her, a girl, to take the initiative to propose that she marry a boy in the future...... Even if Miss Xie's personality is neat and resolute, even if the other party is a good friend she is very familiar with, she still feels a fever on her face; Just now, when she saw Yan Jingxing appear at the door of the "secret base", she was even more throbbing in her heart, and she didn't dare to look up at him for a while.

It's just that because Yan Jingxing herself was more nervous than her, she didn't notice the girl's evasive eyes.

But...... There's no way, if he doesn't say it, Jing Xing will definitely not understand.

Compared with the small psychological obstacles that can be overcome as long as you muster up the courage, Xie Yuzhi feels that it is more important to avoid misunderstandings.

We must talk about things and make each other's intentions clear to each other, so that we can make a decision that is acceptable to everyone, so that we will not feel regretful and unwilling in the future.

It is always more advantageous to communicate in an honest manner than to keep your head shut and guess what others are thinking – especially between close relatives and friends who are willing to tolerate each other and have no need to hide it.

I don't know if "after seeing other people's nervous appearance, your own nervousness is relieved" is a one-size-fits-all law, after seeing the boy's stunned expression, her mood calmed down, and the unconsciously revealed shyness was quickly controlled by her, and she was able to focus on discussing this topic with the other party seriously.

After all, it is a major life event that determines one's future and family life, and who one will spend the rest of his life with. It's impossible for her to be serious.

"I mean, we're thinking about getting married in the future, not now."

"Isn't that a matter of course! We're not of legal age to marry yet......"

Yan Jingxing subconsciously complained.

But we can make a marriage contract first. It has nothing to do with age, even if we are elementary school students, and even before we are born, there is a saying that 'fingers are married'. ”

Miss Xie's reaction was very calm, and from the swiftness and naturalness of her answer, it was clear that she had been well thought out.

"As long as both of our parents agree, we don't need to be recognized. In the future, if you feel that it is not appropriate, you can also regret it. ”

“……”

Yan Jingxing was speechless for a while.

But even if the marriage contract itself is not mandatory, the agreement is an agreement, and once it is decided, the violating party will pay the corresponding explanation, even if it is an invisible and invisible price...... That's how things are like in the world, so it's better to think it through from the beginning. ”

Xie Yuzhi began to pace in circles in the secret base, she was really seriously discussing the marriage contract with Yan Jingxing.

"The main negative thing I think about is this: let's not say that we are too young to put all our minds on this; The most important thing is the lack of a run-in period. You see, we've only known each other for less than two months, and the future holds out unknowable. ”

"Even if two people can always maintain a state of liking each other, they may not be able to get married when they grow up; Even if you get married, your married life may not be satisfactory, and there are many examples of this in reality......"

Miss Xie does have a side that understands the world and people; And what she doesn't understand about people's hearts is that-

"Wait, wait, you wait!"

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but raise her hand to stop her from continuing to talk.

"Huh?"

The girl stopped and turned her face in some surprise.

"Questions?"

"Problems everywhere!"

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but sigh.

"Start from the very beginning, why did you suddenly jump to marriage?"

"It's just a marriage contract, not a marriage."

"No, no, no, I mean, uh......"

Yan Jingxing was so anxious that he began to scratch his head.

"Before that, isn't it, is there a more critical premise......

“？”

Yan Jingxing gritted his teeth, he felt that the eldest lady's idea was too jumpy, and she still looked unaware, so she could only put it forward from her side first.

"Marriage...... It's based on feelings, right? Shouldn't we have another process before we get married...... The process to go? ”

His words stumbled, but Xie Yuzhi still understood what he meant. She confirmed in a tone of surprise:

"You're saying we should fall in love first?"

“…… Well, yes, that's what it means. ”

Yan Jingxing thought that he would be shy if he agreed, but he quickly reacted: Everyone and girls are planning to marry you, what is there to be shy about falling in love?

"—But, isn't that puppy love?"

She raised a rightly questionable question.

"Ugh."

As soon as he heard this, he froze again, and felt a deep confusion.

What does this mean? It's not okay to fall in love, just get married?

"But since you want to get married, you can't ...... When is it not 'puppy love'? ”

"That's why I'm talking about the marriage contract." Xie Yuzhi sighed softly, "As long as you make a marriage contract first, then it will be natural to fall in love and get married in the future, and you don't have to consider the interference of others." ”

Yan Jingxing hugged his head, and began to feel that the eldest lady's train of thought was so winding, that she was about to wrap him in.

He thought silently for a while, and in the process, Xie Yuzhi's gaze never left his face, patiently waiting for him to reply.

And then—

Yan Jingxing finally thought of the crux of the problem.

"No, the two are not the same, and they are not logical."

He said in a firm tone.

"Because people who are in love must like each other before they choose to be together, but people who are married are not necessarily, let alone a marriage contract."

Speaking of which, he felt shy and overwhelmed at first, hesitating because he wasn't sure what Xie Yuzhi was thinking, and he didn't even dare to look into her eyes...... Isn't it because you care about the emotions of this love?

He was just caught off guard by Miss Xie's astonishing speech, and it was only at this time that he finally remembered what was the most important thing to him.

Xie Yuzhi blinked.

"In other words, what you care about is the emotion of love?"

"Yes!"

Yan Jingxing's answer was categorical.

Xie Yuzhi's thin lips pursed into a line, as if he was dissatisfied with his words, and Yan Jingxing was in a mood, but he didn't intend to take it back.

He really wanted to know the answer.

"I said you......"

Finally, after Miss Xie sighed deeply again, she said softly.

"Jing Xing, I found that you may be even more stupid than I thought."

“……”

"I'm just stating the facts, because you didn't even notice ......"

The girl used her hand to pick up the inky hair that fell to her ears, and at the same time silently covered the imperceptible rosy floating on her cheeks.

"You see, I look like the kind of guy I would marry a guy I don't like?"

Without waiting for Yan Jingxing to react, she continued to talk to herself.

"It is true that there are common betrothals between large families that lack an emotional basis, and it is not uncommon for young men and women to be united for the benefit of the family. Our family is no exception, and people have come to talk about getting someone engaged to me before...... But you don't have to worry, my father he won't force me, he can't interfere with my feelings and marriage. ”

Xie Yuzhi said this lightly, so mature that people almost forgot her age.

"Because I was his only child, he didn't want to lose me. I told him this very clearly when he first discussed with me whether he wanted to be engaged to someone I had never met. So, so-"

Xie Yuzhi began to take a deep breath again, trying to keep herself calm on the surface and not let her eyes take her eyes off his face, even though she could already hear her own "poof" heartbeat clearly audible, like a rousing piece of music playing in her ears.

I always feel that if I act too shy, I don't look like she is usual, and I feel like I'm admitting defeat.

"I can discuss the marriage contract with you, but only if it is...... I like you. ”

Yan Jingxing was completely stunned again.

He seemed to have misestimated the impact of being confessed by Miss Xie on his heart.

Then, he watched Xie Yuzhi make further "more destructive" moves-

"You...... Still not convinced? ”

She lowered her head and suddenly took a step forward.

At the moment when Yan Jingxing didn't react at all, the girl reached out and grabbed his arms, stood on tiptoe, and kissed lightly on his lips.

"Do you believe it now?"

He felt a ...... that he had never felt before Moist, soft, trembling to the touch, you can leave at the touch of a button.

Xie Yuzhi grabbed his arm and refused to let go, and raised his face.

The young and beautiful face that was close at hand, like an elf falling into the world at sunset, and the sunset-like blush stretched along the girl's delicate skin, from her cheeks to the tips of her ears and neck;

Only her watery eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, were sparkling and full of irrepressible shame, but she still looked at herself bravely without blinking.
