This kind of talk made the lantern in Li Chuntao's hand drop to the ground with a thud, she was scared.
She hadn't expected Yang Dong to actually say it out loud.
In a hurry, she squatted down to pick up the lantern on the ground, but because the lantern was tilted on the ground, the candle inside also toppled over, and the paper lantern instantly caught fire.
Yang Dong was pulled by Li Chuntao and also squatted down.
Seeing that Li Chuntao was still picking up the burning lantern, Yang Dong quickly moved the burning paper lantern aside, afraid it would burn Li Chuntao, and then said, "Don't pick it up anymore. I'll buy you another one tomorrow."
Li Chuntao wasn't trying to pick up that paper lantern; she was just thrown into confusion by Yang Dong's confession, not knowing what to do.
Although she saw Yang Dong's thoughtfulness today while spending time with him, she felt they hadn't spent enough time together, and she couldn't answer such a question from Yang Dong now.
