After a while, however, Shen Jia grew quieter.
There was something she had been thinking about all day. Something that had been bothering her since morning.
She glanced at Ding Feng before finally gathering the courage to ask. "What are we?"
Ding Feng blinked. "Huh?"
Shen Jia slowed her pace. "Are we in a relationship? Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" There was a trace of sadness in her expression. Despite everything that had happened between them Ding Feng had never actually asked her to be his girlfriend.
The moment he realized what she was thinking, his heart ached.
How could she possibly believe he was not serious about her?
He stopped walking.
Shen Jia stopped as well.
Then Ding Feng looked directly at her, his expression softening completely. "Jiajia..."
"Hm?"
"Boyfriend and girlfriend are for teenagers."
Shen Jia was speechless. "What do you mean?"
Ding Feng took a slow breath before speaking plainly. "We can be husband and wife."
The world seemed to stop.
