The girl in her drunken state started to blabber. She demanded in a teary tone, "Why didn't you answer?"
Suddenly, she jumped up from the floor to run to him and grabbed his arms. With a face covered in tears and a smile, she stared at him and asked, "You will promise me that, right?"
The hope at the bottom of her eyes made Su Zhinian's eyes start to water. He turned his head away unconsciously to avert her gaze.
"I know, you will not agree to it…" Disappointment entered the girl's voice. She lowered her head, and her grip on his arm tightened. She suddenly raised her head again and requested with great expectation, "But, can't you just lie to me just this once and say okay?"
As if afraid that he might even deny her very last wish, she offered many guarantees. "Just lie to me, okay? Just that one word. I swear I'll leave you alone after you say that one word, please?"
