This was the first time Peng Chi had ever liked a girl, and the first time he had ever confessed his feelings to her. He was a little excited and a little nervous, but the words "retreat" and "fear" did not exist in the Peng family's dictionary.
He took a breath and then said, “Miss Gu, I am the third child in my family, seventeen years old this year, and currently a junior officer in the Northern Camp. From the first time I saw you, I felt you were extraordinary. That day, you were wearing a peach-colored jacket, your hair was styled in double buns, adorned with hair flowers, and your smile was radiant. In that instant, you entered my heart, and I have been thinking about you all year. I want to marry you, and I will strive to gain the approval of your family and you. Miss Gu is still young, so you can consider it more. I am truly no less than Zhou Yuan, and moreover, I have an advantage over him in that I am younger. Miss Gu, I am serious about wanting to marry you. If you ask me what I like about you, I can't really say, but you have already entered my heart, and I will work hard to gain your approval.”
After a pause, Peng Chi continued, "Don't worry, I'm not forcing you. I just want you to give me a chance, to see what I'm like, and to give yourself another option. What if I'm more suitable for you? Also, if you marry into my Peng family, Miss Gu, I will definitely treat you well, and my Peng family will treat you well too. Your eldest sister is engaged to my eldest brother, so after you marry into the family, you'll still have your eldest sister, and no one will dare to treat you badly. So, Miss Gu, please consider it!"
Gu Xin blinked and replied very seriously, "Brother Peng, thank you for liking me and letting me into your heart. However, there is already someone in my heart, and there is no room for another person. I cannot see anyone else. Please forgive me for not being able to grant your request. And please drive me out of your heart!"
Lu Zheng's lips curved into a smile; he knew it, Xin Xin liked him the most! (First release)
He looked at Peng Chi with a childish yet smug expression.
Peng Chi said, feeling wronged, "Third Miss Gu, you really should consider it. I'm really no worse than Zhou Yuan."
Gu Xin shook her head firmly: "I'm not considering it. Brother Peng, liking me has no future, so don't like me. There will be more and more girls in Kuncheng in the future, and you will definitely be able to find a better girl. If you keep liking me and make me do things I don't like, that will only cause me trouble, which means you don't like me at all. If I don't like you but you still like me, I will feel guilty. If you would rather I feel guilty than not like me, that also means you don't like me at all."
Peng Chi was confused by Gu Xin's "I like you, but I don't like you" statement, and it took him a while to figure out what she meant.
He simply couldn't refute it.
Yeah, he said he liked the girl and would treat her well, but the girl felt burdened. That's not treating her well at all, what a load of rubbish!
But he can't bring himself to dislike her right now. He finally fell for a girl, but... but...
Peng Chi couldn't process what was happening.
Gu Xin sighed solemnly, "Brother Peng, have you figured it out? So, stop liking me. Quickly kick me out of your heart, clean it up, and wait for a girl who likes you to move in. That way, you're good, I'm good, and everyone's good! Okay, I'm taking Brother Yuanyuan home now. Goodbye!"
Lu Zheng patted Peng Chi on the shoulder in a good mood: "Goodbye, General Chi!"
The soldiers guarding the city witnessed their newly enlightened General Chi being rejected by the girl. They stood ramrod straight, trying their best to remain still, like dead objects, so as not to embarrass General Chi.
