Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Eight: The Correct Way to Wear An Engagement Ring (2/2)

“I’m not hungry at all.” Xiao Yu pestered endlessly. “I’m not eating anything other than desserts.”

Just as he finished his words, his stomach growled shamelessly under Yan Jin’s caress.

Xiao Yu immediately blushed as he cowered back into the blanket to hide.

Yan Jin chuckled as he pulled Xiao Yu out from the blanket and pressed him against the headboard, not allowing his lover to shrink back into the blanket again.

*Kiss*

“Hn.” Xiao Yu arrogantly turned his face to the side. “If it’s not delicious, I refuse to eat.”

“Shall I feed you?”

“No thank you. My limbs are intact.”

Xiao Yu reached his hand out.

One second, two seconds.

It was not the warm bowl of porridge he was waiting for. Instead, he felt a strange and cold object being slipped onto his ring finger.

Xiao Yu’s heart started to beat crazily.

He wanted to take his hand back, but it was too late –

His hand was already held on tightly by the other person.

Before the series of actions were completed, Xiao Yu had his head turned to the side, so he had not witnessed what exactly happened.

But, he knew what had happened.

Xiao Yu turned his blushing face over as his hand was grabbed onto tightly. He was unable to see how big that pink diamond³ on his ring finger was.

“That’s so cunning,” Xiao Yu mumbled.

“And your answer is?”

Yan Jin’s tone was as calm as usual.

However, Xiao Yu could tell from the slight pain in his hand that this man in front of him who was outstanding in everything he did was feeling nervous.

He was nervous because of him.

That Yan Jin.

Xiao Yu had waited for this moment for a long time. He thought he would feel indecisive and excited just like the main characters in television dramas. But, when the actual moment came, when Yan Jin really popped the question, he had never felt so peaceful in his life. it was like his heart that had been beating crazily before had suddenly calmed down. He was very sure of his own feelings.

No matter how things would turn out, he wanted to promise him.

To promise him.

He wanted to promise that they would be together forever.

Nothing could stop them.

This was their story, one that involved only him and Yan Jin. Nobody had the rights to tell him not to.

……

On the contrary, after he made his decision, Xiao Yu did not want to say his answer right away. He avoided his gaze and said, “If I must say, you’re taking this too lightly.”

Xiao Yu felt satisfied when he saw a very obvious frown on Yan Jin’s face.

“What else is missing?” Yan Jin cautiously probed Xiao Yu’s thoughts, completely afraid to act blindly without thinking.

“Where’s the cake, hotel, roses, and going down on one knee?” Xiao Yu pouted, “You don’t look sincere at all.”

“I can make it up to you if you want any of those, regardless of what you want.” Yan Jin was obviously feeling disdain for the normal routine. He raised his hand and cupped it on the side of Xiao Yu’s face, caressing him intimately, “And your answer is?”

Under Yan Jin’s gentle yet intensive gaze, the defense that Xiao Yu had painstakingly built up soon crumbled into pieces and revealed the soft, gentle, and easy-to-bully inner side.

“You don’t have to make it up to me. I’m not a woman after all. I won’t care about those things.”

“And your answer is?”

Yan Jin repeatedly asked that question. It was obvious that he was dedicated to finding out, as if he would not let Xiao Yu off if he did not say the answer personally.

Xiao Yu blushed even deeper as the redness spread to his ears.

It was as if Yan Jin had not noticed how shy Xiao Yu was feeling as he repeated his question again and again like a recording.

Urghhh. That jerk.

In the next second, Xiao Yu suddenly broke free and took his hand back before Yan Jin could realize what was happening. He hid back into the blanket and brought it over his head.

Then, Xiao Yu took a deep breath under the stuffy covers.

“I do I do I do I do… You’re so annoying.”
