The unexpected proposal caught Ning Xixi off guard.
She suspected she had heard wrong, and foolishly let out an "Ah," which was met with a sharp look from Ji Yebai, "You don't want to?!"
"What did you just say?" asked Ning Xixi in disbelief.
Ji Yebai patiently repeated, "I said, Ning Xixi, marry me!"
Ning Xixi's eyes widened in shock, Ji Yebai... was actually proposing!
Oh my goodness, and he used a declarative sentence, not an interrogative one!
Could this be the most assertive proposal in history? She had truly experienced this Demon's dominance.
"Do you remember what you said at the last fireworks show?" Ji Yebai said calmly, and seeing Ning Xixi's clueless face, he explained with a full head of black lines, "That time by the river, you said, it was a man, who set off fireworks for the woman he deeply loved. Moreover, you said, this man's grandfather planted a city's worth of cherry trees for his own wife."
With that, Ning Xixi remembered.
