That year he searched for her for a few more days in Jingcheng, going from inn to inn and inquiring about rented houses, it took a lot of effort to find her again, and when he said sincerely that he wanted to marry her, she touched his forehead, “Nerd, you don’t have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about.”
He eagerly defended, “But you promised to marry me.”
“I promised to marry you?” Hua Yi looked at him with amusement, “When did I promise?”
“It’s that time we fell inside the acidic water cave together, we have to ……” He was too embarrassed to directly say that they were going to perform the deed of husband and wife, his face slightly reddened, ”You said at that time that we would be husband and wife from now on. ”
Hua Yi tried to recall, with a look of uncertainty, “I really said that?”
He nodded, “You also said that I would be your husband from now on, and made me swear not to touch another woman for the rest of my life. I even told my family, and both father and mother agreed to marry you.”
Hua Yi still wasn’t sure that she had said that, they did almost brush fire, luckily rescue came in time and nothing essentially happened between the two, she sighed, “Alright, even if I had said that, but how can you take what you said at that time seriously? If you think about it, everything we said and did back then was based on the fact that we were about to die, and now that the foundation is gone, the rest of the words don’t hold water.” She patted his shoulder again, “Don’t worry, I’ll never say anything about that time, and you don’t have to take what you swore seriously.”
He looked at her confused, “Hua Yi, we did everything, how can we not take it seriously?”
“What did we do?” Seeing someone looking back at her, she pulled him aside and lowered her voice, “We didn’t actually accomplish anything, even if there was a little something, I’m a woman, and I’m the one who suffered, right? But I don’t want you to be responsible. You’re so handsome and learned, you should marry a scholarly and polite girl, go back and tell your father, the matchmaker who wants to match you will step on the threshold of your house.”
He only felt cool water poured over his head, from head to feet, mumbled: “Hua Yi, but I like you.”
“You don’t like me.” She waved her hand, as if this matter was as simple as ordering food at a restaurant in her eyes, “Don’t worry about that time. I have things to do today, so that’s it, I’m going to go find someone.”
She said and flung her sleeves again and ran away, unable to catch up.
