Faced with Chu Yan's panicked denial, Shi Qingxue vaguely sensed something was wrong.
The smile on her face faded, and she returned to her usual indifference:
"From what General Chu said, does it seem like you want to deny what you said last night and no longer want to be responsible to me?"
Chu Yan: “…”
No matter how much he planned, he never imagined that this would happen until his death.
"No, Marshal Shi," Chu Yan was completely stunned by the sudden turn of events. He collapsed on the ground and said, "Let's not joke. What you said last night was referring to me, General?"
Shi Qingxue raised an eyebrow, "Does this Marshal look like someone who would joke about his own innocence?"
Chu Yan finally understood the absurdity of this damn thing and recognized the current situation.
After a long silence, he finally let out a long sigh:
"I have always believed that the two of us would not give up until one of us dies. Marshal Shi, your attitude towards me before did not seem like you were interested in me at all."
Shi Qingxue was embarrassed when the old things were brought up again, but she had already decided to make this relationship clear, so she didn't act pretentiously anymore.
"I just hadn't made up my mind before. If it weren't for what you said last night, I might have continued to wait. But as you said, I can't wait any longer at my age."
Chu Yan: “…”
You're such a jerk, seriously.
If he had known such a thing would happen, he might not have said it at all.
But now it was too late. When Shi Qingxue confessed her feelings for him, he was extremely flustered because he had never had any emotional experience.
But at this moment, Chu Yan just couldn't understand why Shi Qingxue's attitude towards him in the past didn't seem like she was pretending.
Is it because I don’t understand women?
This is an indescribable feeling. If you say that he only wants to reject Shi Qingxue's feelings, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Um... Marshal Shi, doesn't this seem a bit hasty...?"
Subconsciously, he seemed to want to refuse, but was afraid that it would be inappropriate, so in the end he could only awkwardly say this euphemism.
Shi Qingxue was startled when she heard this, and then her face suddenly fell. "General Chu's words mean... that you look down on me?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant," Chu Yan waved his hand quickly, "Marshal Shi, your ability and beauty are definitely among the best, but... uh... it happened too suddenly and unexpectedly..."
Anyway, Chu Yan is feeling very uncomfortable now.
If it is said that he looks down on Shi Qingxue, it is obviously not true. As a military general, Shi Qingxue's talents are admired by countless soldiers in the army.
He just felt that he had never thought that such a thing would happen from the beginning, and in the abrupt development, he instinctively could not accept such a relationship.
"I understand. General Chu's attitude has always been about one thing, and that is my age. I am older than you, and you definitely cannot accept it in your heart..."
Seeing that Chu Yan couldn't give any answer for a long time, Shi Qingxue suddenly realized that she seemed to understand why Chu Yan didn't agree.
I am one or two years older than Chu Yan. For a man, this is definitely unacceptable...
After realizing this, Shi Qingxue, who had been somewhat looking forward to this matter from the beginning, looked gloomy.
But when she felt lost, she looked at Chu Yan in front of her, pursed her lips and looked very unwilling.
Could it be that... the feelings that I had finally expressed were going to end so abruptly?
Intentionally or unintentionally, her words and expression made Chu Yan, who didn't know how to explain this matter, completely unable to sit still.
I was clearly giving a kind reminder, so why does it seem to have caused unnecessary misunderstandings?
There was no other way, Chu Yan could only kindly explain:
"Marshal Shi, this general doesn't mean that..."
"My opinion is that for someone who is good enough, age is often not important. Otherwise, why did my eldest brother wait so long to get married? Right?"
After much persuasion, Chu Yan felt that he had explained the matter clearly, and then he continued:
"I'm also very happy that Marshal Shi thinks highly of my abilities, but I haven't considered matters of the heart yet. What Marshal Shi said was a bit sudden. Anyway... I need some time to think about it..."
After understanding the situation, he knew that he needed to handle it properly.
A direct rejection would be too cruel. After all, he himself didn't understand his attitude towards Shi Qingxue. Perhaps their relationship could develop in a good direction.
Of course, at least Chu Yan doesn’t think so now.
He just wanted to delay it as long as possible.
You have to know that the woman in front of me is too fierce. If I say something wrong and make her angry, it would be too frustrating to get killed by her.
Shi Qingxue listened to him quietly. Finally, seeing that he stopped talking and only looked at her, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "How long do you need to think about it?"
"Ah, this... You should at least give me a little more time. This isn't a trivial matter, and I might not even agree. Marshal Shi, please understand..."
Faced with this problem, Chu Yan, who was not fully prepared, was caught in a dilemma again.
I'm just trying to delay time, how can I know when I'll think it through?
There is not even a single stroke of the eight characters yet.
"Not necessarily?"
Shi Qingxue suddenly became annoyed and leaned forward to look at the timid Chu Yan from close range.
"I can give you time to think about it, but if you don't agree by then, wouldn't it be a waste of your time?"
Chu Yan: “???”
Good man, Marshal Shi, listen to yourself, is this something a woman can say?
What do you mean by "Isn't it all in vain?"
Just say what he saw?
Besides, even if he saw the white thighs, so what? What does it have to do with innocence?
"General Shi, I have to remind you that I was worried about your injuries and had no choice but to come here. I didn't see anything!"
Chu Yan spoke with righteous indignation, and as he spoke, he straightened his back to prove his innocence.
"hehe--"
Shi Qingxue sneered when she heard this. She didn't believe a single word of this nonsense.
They clearly said that they were beautiful and capable, and that their age didn't matter. They also saw some things they shouldn't have seen, but now they think they can pretend nothing happened?
How could such a good thing happen in this world?
If being polite doesn't work, she has no intention of giving up. If soft tactics don't work, she will resort to hard tactics. She has the courage to do that.
"Chu Yan, it seems necessary for me to remind you that I can give you a long time to think it over, but the final result must be your consent!"
Shi Qingxue's tone was so strong that Chu Yan, who had been able to speak well up to this point, became angry.
"Bah, bad luck, I regret it now, I must have been blind to say what I just said."
"Just based on your temper, Marshal Shi, anyone who marries you will be doomed to misfortune for the rest of their lives!"
