GRASPING ONTO SOMETHING

"YOU can't," Shen Ji Yun said automatically before he could even think properly. 

  He knew that it was simply a child's rumbling and something that shouldn't really be taken seriously, but there was a feeling of rejection in him.  Like his mind just couldn't accept someone saying that they would make Luo Yan their bride.  Even if that someone was a five-year-old child.

Bai Ye immediately pouted.  [Why does everyone keep saying that Yan Yan can't be my bride?  Now even Brother Ji Yun is saying the same thing.  Hate.]  "Why?  If you say it's because we're both boys, I won't accept it."

Because even until now, our poor little Bai Ye still didn't believe that Luo Yan was a boy. 

"Because you're cousins.  And cousins can't marry," Shen Ji Yun said in the most logical way possible.
