Shen Shuyi took the gift list and handed it to Yan Zheng.

She spoke with righteous indignation, “Comrade Yan was wounded while protecting the country. Battlefield fire is merciless. He is a great hero of our nation. How can I betray my promise because of his injury?”

He didn't want to ruin the young girl's life.
