Su Fan knew Sun Rui had misunderstood him.

He hurriedly tried to get up, but in the next moment, Sun Rui lifted her slender "chopstick legs" and clamped them around Su Fan's waist. At the same time, she grabbed his neck with both hands, pulling him tightly against her soft body, the two clinging closely together.

The hard bulge from Su Fan's lower body precisely met the pink haven of Sun Rui's...

"Mmm..."

The immense stimulation made Sun Rui let out a soft moan, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, teeth clenched, and her seductive eyes like silk as they looked at Su Fan.

"Big Brother Su, I'm ready. I want to be your woman. Let's be together," she said.

A confession?

Su Fan was stunned.

Wasn't this too sudden?

Love at first sight?

"Cough cough cough, well, I think you're being too impulsive. We hardly know each other, how can we start a romantic relationship, let alone... do something substantial? Please let me go," he said.

"I won't..."

After hearing Su Fan's refusal, tears flooded Sun Rui's eyes even more.

She held tightly onto Su Fan, her grievances pouring out.

"I know very well what I'm doing. It's not impulsiveness. I've truly decided to follow you," she said.

"Let me be honest with you. My parents' relationship is terrible, they fight all the time, and I despise that home, so I don't want to go back. I want to be with you, to live together. We can build our own family."

"No one has ever protected me like you have. You're my knight in shining armor. With you, I feel safe. When I'm old enough, we can register. I can marry you."

Sun Rui's gaze was very serious as she looked at Su Fan.

But inside, Su Fan started to feel uneasy.

Good grief.

They hadn't even really started, and she was already planning to marry him.

He was only eighteen himself.

...

Su Fan could understand Sun Rui; this was the pain of a dysfunctional family.

Many parents fight, yet forget the harm they cause their children.

Now, Sun Rui wanted to build her own family to escape her original one.

Speaking of which, she's a pitiful person.

But Su Fan couldn't throw himself into this just because he wanted to help Sun Rui, could he?

Besides, Sun Rui wasn't fully mature yet. Her current thoughts were rather one-sided and impulsive, which could lead to regret in the future.

"I understand how you feel, but I think we shouldn't do this. Please let me go," he said.

Su Fan rejected her once again.

Sun Rui, with reddened eyes, said,

"Big Brother Su, if you don't want me, then I'll just die."

With those words, Sun Rui's gaze revealed a hint of determination.

Su Fan's heart tightened.

A girl Sun Rui's age is in the midst of her rebellious phase, obstinate in her thoughts, and with the desperation she feels towards her family, she might indeed commit suicide.

In that case, he would be responsible for the loss of a young life...

It was too sinful.

"No, that's not what I meant. You're so young and beautiful, how could I not be moved? What I'm trying to say is, marriage and building a family are significant matters. We both have to spend decades together. If we rush into it without understanding each other, the tragedy of your parents might repeat with us. Do you want to spend your entire marriage in misery?"

"Or do you want your children to walk the same path as you?"

Su Fan's words left Sun Rui suddenly silent.

"Then, what do you suggest we do?"

Still immature in her thinking, Sun Rui was quickly swayed by Su Fan.

Su Fan said immediately,

"It's simple, we start as friends, get to know each other, and then after you graduate from college, we can start dating officially. That's the responsible way to approach each other and marriage, don't you think?"

"Be responsible towards marriage?"

Sun Rui furrowed her brow, pondering.
