Shen Lu’s eyes widened, her crimson lips slightly parted, listening incredulously to the man’s words.
After a long while, she said, "Say that again!"
Mu Shaoci looked at her surprised expression, finding it both amusing and heart-wrenching.
It was his fault, the initial definition was wrong.
Starting as lovers, Shen Lu must have felt quite bitter.
He had always been superior since childhood, and his friends kept quite a few lovers, inevitably influencing him to think that it was all about physicality, not worthy of being called a girlfriend.
After spending a long ti together, he found himself wanting to see Shen Lu all the ti, and gradually couldn’t be without her.
When she was in trouble, his heart would also panic.
He unconsciously wanted to be close to her.
He wanted to give her a proper status, even thinking about walking down the aisle.
He had planned to wait until her birthday next month, but seeing her occasionally insecure, he couldn’t help but feel heartache, and also felt guilty about his initial approach.
Mu Shaoci turned her around, and said seriously, "I want you to be my girlfriend, will you?"
Shen Lu felt a tingling in her nose, tears swirling in her eyes.
She buried her face in her hands, sobbing.
Mu Shaoci was sowhat at a loss, "Don’t cry, it’s my fault. It must have been hard for you initially, forgive , okay?"
Shen Lu sniffed, her eyes red like a little rabbit.
"When you gave that status, I was anxious and sad, but I thought, given my family background, we were mismatched in every aspect. I was content to be your mistress. In that relationship, I was humble, but I savored it, because I like you, I wanted to be with you, despite the embarrassing status. Shaoci, I never dared to ask for a legitimate identity, to stand proudly beside you. Now you suddenly say this, and I am a bit overwheld."
Mu Shaoci felt heavy hearted, thinking about how he had made Shen Lu upset made him feel utterly scoundrelly before.
"I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Shen Lu pouted, "Asking this now, you silly. I was willing to even be a mistress, let alone a girlfriend."
Mu Shaoci laughed as he hugged her, "It’s my fault, you can punish however you wish. Just be happy. Next month on your birthday, I will announce your status, okay?"
Shen Lu stepped out of his embrace, "If I beco your girlfriend, what if your friends and family don’t like ?"
Mu Shaoci curled his lips slightly, "The most important thing is that I like you. If soone doesn’t like you, I’ll cut ties with that person."
Shen Lu chuckled, "You always know how to comfort ."
"I, Mu Shaoci, once I promise sothing, even horses can’t chase it back."
"I don’t want you to hurt relations with friends and family for . If they have opinions about , it must be because I’m not good enough."
Mu Shaoci knew the insecurity deeply ingrained in her, and with both hands on her shoulders, he said, "You are great, do not belittle yourself. Lulu, I am serious about you, from being lovers to becoming an official girlfriend, and in the future, we will get engaged and marry."
Shen Lu was still surprised, she thought becoming Mu Shaoci’s girlfriend was already incredible.
She had not expected Mu Shaoci to include her in his life plans.
Her tears flowed freely, "I really feel like crying."
Mu Shaoci sighed softly, "I’m sorry, if it was a very pure relationship from the start, you wouldn’t feel such a gap now. You don’t need to be touched, you just need to enjoy how I treat you."
Shen Lu hugged his waist and buried her face in his chest, "Can I be capricious today?"
"Of course you can, you can do anything you want, and of course, anything to as well."
Shen Lu laughed, "Why aren’t you being serious? Actually, I just want to cry hard on your chest."
"Alright. You cry, my chest belongs to you."
Shen Lu sobbed, soon wetting the man’s shirt.
After a long ti, she lifted her head, "I’m done crying. Your shirt is wet."
Mu Shaoci chuckled, pinching her chin, "You’re really made of water, how co there’s so much?"
Shen Lu stared at him in shock, then blushed, "Can’t you speak properly?"
Mu Shaoci raised an eyebrow, "I didn’t say anything, you’re just overthinking."
Shen Lu: "..."
Mu Shaoci draped an arm over her shoulder, "Shall I take you for a walk?"
Shen Lu nodded, "Yes."
Near the restaurant, there was a pedestrian street lined with shops on both sides, all displaying handicrafts.
Shen Lu occasionally glanced at the man beside her, "Shaoci, am I dreaming?"
Mu Shaoci smiled, "Of course not, do you want to pinch to check?"
Shen Lu stopped, grabbed his hand and bit it, then seriously asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts, your little dog teeth are quite sharp. But..."
Shen Lu blinked her clear eyes, "But what?"
Mu Shaoci leaned close to her ear, his magnetic voice reaching her eardrums, "But, you can bite again later tonight."
Shen Lu felt her face burning up, why was this man always so inappropriate with his words?
She rembered the first ti she t Mu Shaoci, thinking this man was just an iceberg, feeling like she could freeze to death just standing two ters away from him.
Now it seed, appearances could be deceiving, especially a man who spoke crudely.
Shen Lu pushed him slightly and quickly walked ahead, fanning herself as she went.
Her eyes kept drifting to the shops on either side.
Suddenly, she stopped.
Mu Shaoci followed her gaze, it was a DIY chocolate shop.
"Want so chocolate?"
Shen Lu shook her head, "DIY ans you can make it yourself."
Mu Shaoci made an "Oh" sound, "Are you thinking of making chocolate to give to ?"
Shen Lu’s mouth was stubborn, "Not giving you, I just like DIY, I’ll eat it myself."
Mu Shaoci saw her say one thing but an another, and couldn’t help laughing, "Okay, my girlfriend can make chocolate for herself, not for her boyfriend."
Shen Lu held his hand, "I was just teasing you, I like DIY chocolate, I’ll give it to you later. I like sharing joy and sweetness with you."
Mu Shaoci held her hand back, "Whether it’s joy or gloom, sweetness or bitterness, you have to share them all with . In the future, we need to be honest, face things together, solve problems together, understand?"
Shen Lu nodded firmly, "I understand."
At this mont, Shen Lu had no idea that she would soon go back on her word.
