Pei Yu was really rattled by Meng Qiming tonight. Meng Qiming's words made him think of a scenario he had dreamed of a long time ago, suddenly reminding him of the possibility that "Shen Zhiyi might marry someone else."
The moment he thought of that, even his great patience evaporated.
Shen Zhiyi stared at him blankly, with her lips quivering slightly, but no sound came out.
When she first heard Meng Qiming's hypothetical proposal, it struck her as absurd. Marriage was something far off in her mind, especially to someone like Meng Qiming, who wasn't even in her future plans at all.
But when the proposed suitor turned out to be Pei Yu, her mind went blank. She couldn't think of anything for a good ten seconds or more. A normally imaginative actress couldn't conjure up a single scene related to "proposals" at that moment—it was as if she was learning the term for the first time.
