Ji'er was silent for a long time and did not say anything.
Just as Chu Qi was about to push her arm away again, she suddenly said something shocking. "Lil Qi, I'll be fifteen next year. Marry me then, won't you? That way, we can be together forever."
A crack of emotion appeared on Chu Qi's calm face when he heard this. His heart sank.
He immediately frowned and said in a low voice, "Do you know what you're saying, Ji'er?"
Ji'er was unfazed as she continued, "I know exactly what I'm saying. After you left without a word five years ago, I've thought about this. I'll marry you once I've grown up. That way, we will never be separated again."
Chu Qi felt a vague sense of relief when he heard this.
From his point of view, Ji'er must have just come up with this strange idea because she was too reliant on him.
This thought helped him calm down instead.
