"I said I want to be in a relationship with you." Although He Changming's eyes twinkled mischievously, his words were spoken with a serious edge. Su Xiu's gaping mouth may have made her look silly, but it only heightened her appeal in his eyes.
Su Xiu finally reacted. "No, no, it's not appropriate. You... don't joke around."

"I'll let it go since you're He Yulan's brother," Su Xiu said, fleeing as fast as she could.
When she reached home, she happened to pass by Su Wen. Her older sister caught her and asked, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
