"What?" Su Xiu's eyes widened in disbelief. She stared blankly at He Changming, whose handsome face was mere inches away, her mind an uncomfortable blank. She was frightened by his declaration.
"I said I want to be in a relationship with you." Although He Changming's eyes twinkled mischievously, his words were spoken with a serious edge. Su Xiu's gaping mouth may have made her look silly, but it only heightened her appeal in his eyes.
Su Xiu finally reacted. "No, no, it's not appropriate. You... don't joke around."
"I'm not joking." He Changming's expression shuttered, turning serious; even his tone changed. Unconsciously, he seemed to exude an aura that screamed danger.
"I'll let it go since you're He Yulan's brother," Su Xiu said, fleeing as fast as she could.
When she reached home, she happened to pass by Su Wen. Her older sister caught her and asked, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
