Quick Wear: There is always a female supporting role tearing up the script

After this, there was no win or loss between the two for a long time. They turned around and around, not knowing where they were. Surrounded by unfamiliar and novel buildings and street scenes, Zhou Yanning admired the view from the window. Xie Heng suddenly asked her, "Zhou Yanning, will you date me?"

Zhou Yanning turned to look at him, and she almost stammered, "No... No."

He was quite frightened, but he answered without hesitation.

Xie Heng wasn't frustrated. He asked, "Why?"

"Why?" Zhou Yanning pinched her skirt and answered half-heartedly, "How long have we known each other? Besides, families like ours are bound to have an arranged marriage in the future. How can I have a choice?"

"We haven't known each other for long, but I have to admit, I fell in love with you at first sight. You fell in love with me too, didn't you? When you stared at me at the entrance of the archery hall, your eyes seemed to say, 'I really like this person.' It was precisely because we were in love that I proposed a relationship." Xie Heng parked the car on the side of the road. "If we're talking about an arranged marriage, I think we're a perfect match. Our parents would probably be very happy."

Zhou Yanning became nervous. She didn't dare to look at Xie Heng at all. He was too serious.

"I..." She was about to speak when Xie Heng suddenly pointed at a man wearing a short blue down jacket across the street and said, "Zhou Yanning, honestly."

Zhou Yanning covered her face and said, "I'm not an adult yet. I can't fall in love too early."

"Is that why?"

Zhou Yanning put down her hand and nodded sincerely, "It's the truth."

It's the truth, but only half of it.

Who could guarantee how long the flutter of youth would last? If they were together, everyone would know. If they eventually separated, she would be just a chapter in Xie Heng's romantic history, but she would be labeled as him from then on. This world has always been unfair to men and women, and their circle was even more so.

If Xie Heng really likes her that much, then he can wait a few more years to give her marriage and shares. She still likes this kind of real promise.

"I won't consider relationships until I'm 20. By then, I'll be looking for someone to marry," Zhou Yanning said, looking at Xie Heng. "If you still like me then, you can pursue me."

When she said "pursue me", her eyes were smiling and full of cunning.

Xie Heng thought about it quickly in his mind. He was two years older than Zhou Yanning. He would have just finished his studies when she was twenty. Then he would return to China. The two of them could avoid a long-distance relationship and fall in love, get engaged, and get married in City A naturally.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very happy and said to her, "Okay."

"But you have to promise me one thing," he said. "You can't talk to anyone else unless you talk to me."

Zhou Yanning nodded, "Of course."

They had lunch at a charming restaurant on the street. A dancing gypsy girl gave Zhou Yanning a white rose and said, "I wish you happiness, beautiful girl."

Xie Heng generously gave a stack of tips.

The two of them walked along the street, chatting casually. When crossing the road, Xie Heng would hold Zhou Yanning's arm. The two of them acted very naturally, as if it was meant to be.

There was a vendor selling ice cream on the roadside. Zhou Yanning stared at him. Xie Heng went to buy a box of mixed flavors. Zhou Yanning pinched the small spoon and tasted only one flavor.

"I loved ice cream when I was a kid," Zhou Yanning said. "Then one day, I read in a book that it's high in sugar and fat, and can cause obesity, rough skin, and indigestion. After that, I almost stopped eating it. I think I've been like this since I was a kid. I'm naturally good at weighing the pros and cons, and my preferences aren't really worth mentioning."

She didn't say this in a subtle way. She seemed to want to reduce some of her faith in her previous promise, and seemed to be trying to be honest with him about her inner world.

But Xie Heng didn't react. He took the ice cream she had taken a few bites of and continued eating without a care in the world. "It's not that liking someone only means satisfying their desires. You don't want to get fat, get acne, or have stomachaches, so you don't eat ice cream. It's simply because you like your body more than you like ice cream."

"This doesn't negate your love for ice cream. People can and should love themselves more."

Zhou Yanning looked at his profile. She felt that Xie Heng seemed to understand what she meant, but also seemed not to.

But she realized that she had just said something out of turn, and their relationship was not yet at the point where they could be more honest with each other.

Xie Heng took her to the mall and personally picked out a blue scarf for her. Zhou Yanning stood in front of the mirror and said, "It doesn't match my outfit today."

She liked the other white one better, so she put it on, a pink coat with a white scarf, and turned around to show him: "Look!"

Xie Heng nodded, "Yes, it looks better."

But after checking out, Zhou Yanning found two scarves in her bag. She asked, "Do you like this blue one so much?"

Xie Heng took out the blue one, placed it on top, and pointed at it: "When you see it, remember your promise."

"Can't be with anyone else."

He still remembers the game of Truth or Dare.

Zhou Yanning took out the scarf and put it on, not caring whether the pink and blue colors matched or not. She held the scarf at both ends and patted his chest like a pair of sleeves, making a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound.

Finally, she looked up at him and said, "I know."
