Chapter 32School Anniversar
Upon arriving at the parking lot, as usual, Luo Xiao helped Bai Ling out of the car. Every movement was so subtle, every detail executed so flawlessly, every action so natural, as if he had been treating her this way his whole life. Bai Ling had never given it much thought before, but now every little gesture he made caused her to feel awkward, even making her blush and feel her heart race.
两人一路无语。到达停车场后，罗肖像往常一样照顾白灵下车。每一个动作都是那么地细微，每一个细节他都做得那么完美，每一次行动都是那么自然，好像他天生就这般的对待她。白灵以前跟本没有多想，现在他做的每一个动作都让她不自然起来，甚至让她有些脸红心跳。
This wasn't the behavior of a typical friend - he took care of her in a way that reminded her of the male lead in a TV drama caring for the female lead. The more she observed, the more she pondered, and the more puzzled she became. Suddenly feeling a little panicked and disoriented, she was about to trip over something when he caught her just in time.
这不是一个正常朋友的行为，他照顾自己真的就像电视里面的男主照顾女主那样无微不至。她越看越像，越想越乱。突然有点慌不择路，眼看就要被东西给绊倒了。
"Be careful!" His close proximity made her dizzy.
“小心！”他及时拉住了她，与他近距离的接触让白灵晕头转向。
"Thank you!" She steadied herself, immediately maintaining distance from him.
“谢谢！”她站稳后，立刻和他保持了些距离。
Finally, they returned to their residence in this awkward state. "Bai Ling, I'm serious. You can take your time and think things over. If you have any doubts, you can ask me anytime. I'll be here for you. I'll go make dinner now and call you when it's ready."
终于他们就在这样的尴尬中回到了自己的住处。“白灵，我是认真的。你可以好好想想，有什么疑虑都可以随时问我，我一直都在。我先去做饭，等下好了我再叫你。”
"Wait a minute, Senior, I'm not the type of person to make jokes like this. Besides, I take relationships very seriously. If I have a boyfriend, it will definitely be with the intention of getting married. I only want to fall in love once in my life, marry once, and never divorce. I don't need any so-called love experience or to shop around for better options. That's not what I want or who I am."
“等等，罗学长，我不是一个能开得起这种玩笑的人，而且我对待感情很认真，如果我谈男女朋友，必然是奔着结婚而去的。这一辈子我就想只谈一次恋爱，然后只结一次婚，永远不离婚。所谓的爱情经验，所谓的货比三家，那都不是我要的，也不属于我。”
Bai Ling was not one to beat around the bush, and she certainly didn't want a vague and uncertain relationship with Luo Xiao. She tried to avoid something that would be hard to cut off, explain, and understand.
白灵不是一个喜欢拖泥带水的人，她更不想有一场朦朦胧胧拖泥带水的感情，剪不断，理还断，心如云山雾茫茫不是她白灵会做的事情。
She was a rational person, especially when it came to important matters, and her level of rationality surpassed her peers.
她是理智的，特别是在遇到重大事情上她有着超乎同龄人的理智。
So she had to be clear and upfront with Luo Xiao. She didn't want any ambiguity or unclear attitudes between them.
所以她一定要说个清楚明白，不想和罗肖之间不清不楚，态度不明。
......
Their relationship progressed quickly. They were boyfriend and girlfriend just yesterday, and today, they were engaged.
他们这段恋爱可跑得真快，昨天还是男女朋友，今天就成了未婚夫妻。
On the second day of confirming their relationship, Luo Xiao bought an engagement ring and formally announced their engagement.
在确定关系的第二天，罗肖就买来了订婚戒指，正式宣布两人是未婚夫妻。
