"..." Mu Ke pressed his lips together, ultimately saying nothing.
Bai Xi seemed not to expect an answer from him, and sighed softly, "It's a pity that I'm about to get engaged, and you can't marry me."
Mu Ke froze, something inside him shattered.
After quite some time, he finally moved his stiff arms and withdrew from her embrace, "I think... we should stop seeing each other like this."
"What do you mean by that?" Bai Xi's face turned pale, followed by a fiery rage, "You want to end things with me?"
"I didn't know you were about to get engaged, we..." Mu Ke lowered his eyes, his voice trembled slightly, but it was firm and apparently not lingering.
"Shut up." Bai Xi was furious, "You just said you liked me, and now you're willing to let go?"
"I don't even know who you are, and in my current state, how can I marry you?" Mu Ke laughed at himself.
