"You ask."
Lu Xiaoer looked at her own toes, her response was quite casual.
"Have you ever thought about marrying Zhongli Wuzhi?"

Lu Xiaoer quietly stared at the sleek floor, rubbing her foot back and forth on it, as if she was struggling with something or perhaps…
"Xiaoer…"

Lu Xiaoer bit her lower lip tightly, and with a "plop," tears fell on the floor.
She bit her lip so hard it was almost bleeding but dared not let go.

The slight cry that seeped through her teeth reached Song Lili's ears…
Even over the phone, Song Lili could feel Lu Xiaoer's distress.
She knew…
"It's okay, Xiaoer, it's all right…"
"…"
