Also, Rong Si was giving her a bouquet of blue roses. It represented pure, faithful love. This meant that no matter when or where, he would always stand by the side of the one he loved. He would never betray her and would always protect her like a knight.

Su Jiu’s heart suddenly raced. She was at a loss.

“Little Jiu.” Rong stared at her, his breath unsteady from nervousness. “I always thought my life would never change. I thought that no one would ever love me, and I would never love anyone. But who would have thought you’d be in my world?

“It’s because of you that I know the world isn’t as bad as I thought. You gave me hope. And because of you, I can be a better person.”

Su Jiu attentively listened and suddenly felt that it must have been really difficult for this usually serious child to say so many emotional words in front of so many people.

He must have prepared this for a long time and mustered up a lot of courage, right?

Seeing the seriousness in Rong Si’s eyes, Su Jiu suddenly felt a lump in her throat. “Rong Si…”

“Perhaps, I’m not good enough for you now. But if you’re willing to give me a chance, I promise you I won’t let you down in the future.”

Not good enough for me?

Su Jiu’s nose stung fiercely, and even her eyes felt sore.

When Rong Si finally got to this point, he was even more nervous. His palms were sweating. He tried to remain calm as he said the words he wanted to say to her the most, “Little Jiu, I like you, and I’ve decided on you. And I’m a stubborn man. Once I’ve decided on something, I never give up.

“So, are you … willing to give me this chance?”

Su Jiu almost blurted out, “Yes. Of course, I will. A hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times, yes!”

But suddenly, she wondered if she would look eager if she agreed too readily.

It wasn’t easy for Rong Si to take the initiative to speak. She should be pretentious. Besides, her nose stung right now. For some reason, she felt like crying, and for a moment, she couldn’t speak.

When Su Jiu didn’t answer, Rong Si’s expression grew more nervous, but he waited patiently for her answer.

The music around them was more cheerful. Someone in the crowd began to hoot. “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!”

Su Jiu was a little embarrassed. She blushed and sniffed. “What if I don’t agree?”

“If you don’t agree… then I can only be a bachelor for the rest of my life.” Rong Si’s expression was still serious. He didn’t seem to be joking at all. “Because I like only one girl. I won’t like anyone else for the rest of my life.”

Su Jiu couldn’t help but smile. “Is that right? You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“If I lie to you, then tomorrow I’ll—”

Su Jiu quickly covered his mouth. “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Rong Si took her hand in his. “So, is that a yes?”

The crowd was still hooting. “Say yes! Say yes!”

Su Jiu’s smile widened. “Do you want my answer, Big Brother?”

“Yes, I do. I’ve wanted to hear it for a long time.”

“Alright, I’ll tell you now,” Su Jiu said. Under his nervous and expectant gaze, she reached out and took the rose from his hand. Then she bent down, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips without hesitation!
