Upon hearing this, Shang Huai's eyes lit up. "What other weapons would you like to see me use?"

"I'll dance for you."

Pei Zhi was completely amused by Shang Huai.

You've misunderstood.

"I said I like you because your voice is so beautiful."

Pei Zhi looked at Shang Huai with sincere eyes, "Besides, your eyes are very beautiful."

Pei Zhi was referring to the look in someone's eyes, not their eyes.

Shang Huai blinked, not quite understanding what Pei Zhi meant.

What Shang Huai didn't know was that the look in his eyes when he looked at Pei Zhi was filled with pure love.

There was nothing else.

Unlike Shang Huai, Xiao Chengci's gaze towards Pei Zhi was far too complex.

There is love, there is guilt, and there is hope.

Shang Huai thought that since Pei Zhi had already said she liked him, he couldn't be too weak.

"Then...Zhizhi, will you really marry me?"

After asking the question, Shang Huai seemed afraid to hear the answer.

"I'm not forcing you to marry me right now."

"I just want to ask if you would be willing to marry me someday in the future."

"Even ten or twenty years from now, I can still do it."

Faced with Shang Huai's straightforward expression of love.

If Pei Zhi isn't honest, it will make her seem very insincere.

"I only found out today that you are my fiancé."

"I don't remember any of the things that happened before."

When I say I like you, I only like the superficial aspects of you; it's just an expression of affection.

The "like" Pei Zhi spoke of was not the kind of "like" that meant she wanted to marry Shang Huai.

It's a kind of... fondness for cats, dogs, and rabbits.

It's affection, not an expression of romantic feelings between a man and a woman.

"Besides, what you're talking about, ten or twenty years, is too far away for us."

"I need some time for us to get to know each other again."

After Pei Zhi finished speaking, she thought Shang Huai would be very disappointed.

Without even a moment's hesitation, Shang Huai immediately nodded.

Shang Huai readily agreed: "Okay."

"Zhizhi, you're absolutely right."

Shang Huai bent down and looked into Pei Zhi's eyes.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shang Huai."

Shang Huai said, word by word, "I've wanted to marry you for a long time."

Shang Huai did not hear Pei Zhi say that getting to know each other again would be a setback.

Shang Huai was very happy to have a chance to get to know Pei Zhi again.

Shang Huai never believed that he was inferior to Xiao Chengci in any way.

Even if Pei Zhi ultimately chooses to be with Xiao Chengci, Shang Huai is not discouraged at all by fair competition.

Since the competition was fair and square, even if he lost, Shang Huai had nothing to be ashamed of.

Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow in surprise, and after a moment of silence, said, "Since you want to marry me, can you let me touch you?"

"Uh-huh?"

Shang Huai was caught off guard, wondering what Pei Zhi meant by those words.

Pei Zhi reached out and tugged at Shang Huai's inner garment.

"Go wash it clean, let me touch it."

If Shang Huai still doesn't understand after all this has been said, then there's something wrong with his head.

Shang Huai's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Faced with Pei Zhi's expectant gaze, Shang Huai couldn't refuse: "Okay."

Pei Zhi was also worried that her words might be abrupt to Shang Huai.

Unfortunately, Pei Zhi has been avoiding men ever since she woke up.

I hadn't thought about it that way before, and there wasn't a decent man around me.

Moreover, Pei Zhi was preoccupied with regaining her memories and had no time to think about these things.

Today, after finding his family, Shang Huai inadvertently revealed his physique.

Pei Zhi couldn't contain herself any longer.

Since Shang Huai has already said that he has wanted to marry her for a long time.

So, it's not unreasonable for her to ask for a little interest, is it?

Shang Huai was a rough man who had been on the battlefield since childhood, eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping with the men in the army.

When war breaks out, it's common to go ten days or half a month without a chance to take a bath.

In his daily life at home, Shang Huai was considered a clean person.

Today, Shang Huai is particularly fond of cleanliness.

I washed every part of my body carefully three or four times.

Shang Huai looked down at the knife scars on his chest, arms, legs, and waist.

Shang Huai sighed deeply. If Pei Zhi saw this, would she... be disgusted?

Pei Zhi wanted to touch him, but seeing all the scars, she thought it would be uninteresting.

Shang Huai is now truly regretting it. He got injured because he asked the doctor for some medicine to remove the scar.

The military doctor had mentioned it once, but Shang Huai refused without hesitation.

Shang Huai said at the time that a real man's scars are his medals.

That general, doesn't he have many scars on his body?

Can someone who has never been injured be called a true general?

After washing up, Pei Zhi leaned against the couch and read a book to pass the time.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement outside the door.

Pei Zhi put down her book. No, Shang Huai took even longer to take a shower than she did.

It was getting late, and Pei Zhi assumed that Shang Huai wasn't coming.

Pei Zhi was getting sleepy and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when there was a knock on the door.

Pei Zhi's eyes lit up, she stood up and opened the door.

Shang Huai, standing outside the door, was wearing a blue robe with a white belt around his waist.

It's obvious that she dressed up carefully.

"Come in."

Shang Huai lowered his head somewhat flustered, avoiding Pei Zhi's gaze.

Because Pei Zhi's gaze was too intense, Shang Huai felt very uncomfortable.

Shang Huai entered the room and just stood there, clearly at a loss for what to do.
