Xi'en became somewhat frantic at the sight.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Alu, saying hurriedly, "Alu, I'm sorry. I know how inconsiderate I've been making you upset. I shouldn't have sneaked away before we got married, nor should I have carelessly cut my hair. You're mad at me, I know."
Xi'en's words made Su Tang, standing behind him, widen her eyes slightly.
She looked at Gaiyin in amazement, silently mouthing: Them? Getting married?
Gaiyin's gaze softened a bit. He patted Su Tang on the head, lightly pulling up the corners of his mouth without speaking.
Seeing that Alu had stopped, Xi'en continued, "I know that anything I say now is useless, it's all my fault. But Alu, I know you also don't want to marry me. Just help me this one time. I will leave very soon, never to return, so you won't be forced to marry me."
Alu's expression changed slightly. She looked at Xi'en, "What do you mean by this? You're leaving? Leaving Xixili? Don't you want your family anymore?"
