Let's Get Married

After finishing their meal, they stayed in the old mansion for a while before Rex declaring that he has to go back to the company. His grandparents don’t have any intention to delay them especially seeing that Lily is still somehow awkward in front of them. Before they depart, the elders keep giving high compliments to the tea leaves given by her, and Lily is able to appreciate their sentiments.

On the way back, Lily looks outside the window at the changing sceneries without saying a word.

Rex averts his gaze in her direction and lays eyes upon her pointed chin and tender profile. He says gently, “What’s wrong?”

Lily comes back to her senses when he hears his voice. She pauses for a while before answering, “I always thought that they had ill intentions, but now they appear to be perfectly fine for me.”

This feels like an overturning of impressions when someone who always appears bad suddenly becomes a good person. It is a contradictory feeling.

Rex watches her conflicting expression and smiles helplessly, “People changes according to their environment all the time.”

Lily nods, “You’re right, but I suddenly feel like there are no absolutely good or bad people in this world, there are only those who harbours goodwill or ill intentions towards you.”

Rex’s grandfather has always been stout and stubborn, but after he has surprisingly agreed to them being together, her previous impression of him evaporates just like that.

Rex holds Lily’s chilly hand and coaxes her, “Instead of thinking about this, you should look forward to the time when we finally get our marriage certificate.”

The marriage certificate

When Lily registers these words in her mind, she pulls back her hand from his grip and replies, “I have told you that I won’t easily agree with you on this matter.”

They have known each other for almost six years and they have been growing apart and getting back together multiple times. In the duration, they never register themselves as an official couple, so she is exceptionally excited when she thinks of the day she is going to earn the marriage certificate.

Rex loosens his grip on her hand and snorts, “Sooner or later you’ll be mine.”

After that, he shifts his gaze onto her body and suddenly says while Lily is puzzled by his gaze, “You’re very thin now, so you should eat more, if not it won’t feel good to touch them.”
