He is too well-behaved

Chapter 42. Okay, I promise you

　　Shen Gusi had made all preparations to agree to Xu Jiashen's unreasonable and even excessive requests, but he never expected it to be like this.

　　Xu Jiashen said he wanted to marry him.

　　This was something that existed only in Shen Gusi's imagination for many years, and later he gradually dared not even think about it.

　　But now, suddenly, it was placed in front of him.

　　"Get married?" Shen Gusi didn't believe what Xu Jiashen said, and would rather treat it as a joke: "I am seriously asking you for help..."

　　Before he finished speaking, Xu Jiashen interrupted him: "I am also talking to you very seriously."

　　"Marry me, Shen Gusi."

　　Shen Gusi raised his head and met Xu Jiashen's gaze. He hoped that he could see teasing or ridicule in Xu Jiashen's eyes to tell himself that this was not true.

　　But it's not.

　　Xu Jiashen looked very serious. He did not flinch at all when the eyes made contact. Instead, he faced them, as if to say, "I'm telling the truth."

　　"What do you think? Do you agree?" Without waiting for Shen Gusi's answer, Xu Jiashen couldn't help but urge him again.

　　He seemed very anxious to know Shen Gusi's answer.

　　"But why?"

　　Shen Gusi knew that he shouldn't ask. He should just agree directly. It was all for Lulu, so he shouldn't ask too many questions.

　　But he couldn't help but wonder why.

　　Why? There are many things he could ask for, many ways to humiliate him, many ways to make him suffer, why did Xu Jiashen want to marry him?

　　That was once his dream.

　　"Why? You don't want to?"

　　Shen Gusi's delay in giving an answer made Xu Jiashen nervous, and he was afraid that he would be rejected.

　　Shen Gusi shook his head: "I just don't understand why you want to marry me?"

　　"You can find someone better. There's no need to marry someone like me. Think about it carefully. Apart from this request, I can agree to everything else."

Maybe Xu Jiashen didn't know what marriage represented, so he spoke out in a moment of haste.

　　Shen Gusi didn't believe how serious Xu Jiashen was because he had no reason to marry her.

　　He doesn't love me, and he doesn't know that Lulu is his child. The two haven't seen each other for more than three years. They had no feelings for each other in the first place. What is left now?

　　If he had to give a reason for Xu Jiashen to say this, Shen Gusi would rather believe that Xu Jiashen simply wanted to humiliate him, wanted to see him happily agree, and then laugh at him for daydreaming.

　　"I have no other request, only this one." Xu Jiashen was determined and refused to give in.

　　"You either agree to it or you refuse it."

　　"Xu Jiashen..." Shen Gusi wanted to say something else, but Xu Jiashen refused to give him a chance.

　　"Why don't you agree? If you were the old you, you would definitely agree without hesitation. Do you think I'm kidding? Or do you hate me to this extent? Even if I threaten you with Lulu, you still won't be with me?"
