"Ye Zi, I want to marry you, not out of gratitude or obligation, but simply because you are Ye Zi, the one and only in this world. I like you. I want to marry you and entrust my incomplete self to you. I want to be a part of your life's future. My timidity has made me miss many things and make many mistakes, but Ye Zi, I'm still not good enough. However, I will make myself braver, stronger. I want to protect you, cherish you, make you my wife, to be the woman at the center of my heart."
"Ye Zi, this is the most courageous thing I've done in my timid life—marry me, will you?"
Ye Zi was already sobbing uncontrollably in Lin Deng's words.
"Is it really not out of gratitude or obligation?" Ye Zi cried tears like rain. "Lin Deng, this isn't a dream, right? I like you. It's not just a foolish fantasy, not liking a hopeless person, right?"
