In less than forty minutes, Yun Shu had finished cooking. She made rice and stir-fried two dishes.
He Zichen took a bite and said in surprise, "This is delicious."
Yun Shu, of course, was very confident in her cooking skills.
"I started learning to cook in my teens. Of course it's good."
Halfway through the meal, He Zichen brought up the old topic again. "Yun Shu, let's be together."
He then explained, "You misunderstood me yesterday. I didn't mean you were just there to make up the numbers. I like you. Let's be together."
Yun Shu bit her chopsticks, her head lowered.
Seeing she didn't respond, He Zichen put down his chopsticks and walked over to her.
Then he slowly knelt in front of her, gazing at her as he said, "I'm serious. I really like you, and I want to be with you. You won't be alone anymore. I'll be with you, always. Okay?"
Yun Shu stared at him blankly. Looking into He Zichen's affectionate eyes, her heart softened and she nodded.
"Okay."
