The man may have never heard such bold words in his life. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that these words came from the mouth of the girl in front of him.
"To marry or not to marry?" She pressed forward step by step.
"..." The man felt confused. He had never met a woman who was forced to marry like this. How worried she was about getting married.
"Marry." He finally said the word without any hesitation.
"Okay." She smiled, "Then we'll make it a deal."
The man stared at her and said nothing.
Because he no longer knew what to say.
He still feels like he is dreaming, as if the few exchanges he had with her just now were not true.
It took him a while before he could think of a sentence.
"Why marry me, you know who I am?" he asked, trying to keep his tone calm.
She said lightly: "I don't know who you are, but I know you are a man, a man who sees me naked. That's why I want to marry you."
The man seemed to be choked again.
"Just because I look... look at you, you want to marry me? You don't care if I'm a pockmark, a beggar, or a cripple?"
"I don't care." She answered simply.
For some reason, the man suddenly felt tightness in his chest. He stared at her, speechless.
"When are we going to visit the church and get married?"
Her next words hit him like a barrage of bullets.
"Going to the church to get married?"
"Yes, since you have decided to marry me, of course you have to go to the church to get married. I think today is an auspicious day, and the place is decorated with joy, just like a bridal chamber. It is better to choose a day than to hit the wedding day, so why not do it now."
"Now?" The man felt that his head was a little confused and he could only repeat her words subconsciously.
"Yes, right now, there are dragons, phoenixes, flowers and candles here, why don't we come and worship the heaven and the earth."
Shen Ningluo smoothed her hair generously and tore off a piece of red silk cloth to cover her head.
The man obviously hadn't recovered from the shock. He stared blankly at her with her head covered and didn't speak for a long time.
"After worshiping heaven and earth, you can have flowers and candles in the bridal chamber. Why, don't you want to have flowers and candles in the bridal chamber with me?" Her voice floated out from under the red silk cloth.
The man's body was shaken heavily again.
"Yes, of course I do," he said through gritted teeth.
The current image of both people is very embarrassing and very funny.
He only wore close-fitting underwear and a mask on his face, while she wore loose men's clothes with a tattered red silk covering her head.
Anyone who sees them like this would never imagine that they are two people who are about to get married.
"Then let's worship in the hall. Come, bow to heaven and earth first, bow to the high hall twice, and worship each other as husband and wife." Her clear voice echoed in the room.
Like a marionette, the man began to worship her.
Although the worship was sloppy, every movement of the man was done meticulously, which was in sharp contrast to her carelessness.
When the couple bowed to each other, his eyes stared at her red hijab through the silver mask, as if he wanted to penetrate her.
Shen Ning straightened up and stretched out a delicate hand.
"Husband, take me into the bridal chamber."
The man stared at her hand, which was slender and beautiful, as perfect as if it were carved from a piece of jade. Many places on her body were burned by fire, but this hand miraculously had no scars at all.
