Grandfather Shang sighed upon hearing this.
"If you have ulterior motives, you should have said so earlier, so as not to hurt the girl too much."
Shang Huai gave a vague reply, managing to get through it.
Grandmother Shang glanced at Shang Huai, seemingly surprised that he was this kind of person.
"It's your own business, you can make your own decisions."
Shang Huai's grandmother sighed, "I just thought that girl was very good-looking and had a good manner of speaking. Don't regret it later."
Pei Zhi was praised, and Shang Huai was naturally happy.
However, Shang Huai knew even better that he actually wanted to marry Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi had absolutely no intention of marrying him, so what could he do?
He wouldn't dare force him into marriage.
If his grandparents really sent someone to propose marriage, Shang Huai was afraid that Pei Zhi would dump him immediately.
So, this is fine for now.
Shang Huai didn't have any other requests or fantasies.
Just like now, Pei Zhi is fine as long as she's by his side.
Thinking too much will get you nowhere.
"I feel that I'm not ready to settle down yet, so I'll wait a bit longer."
Shang Huai could only feign seriousness and say, "What if I meet someone more suitable later?"
After these words were spoken, Shang Huai's grandparents fell silent.
However, the way the two of them looked at Shang Huai was somewhat strange.
It seems they never imagined that their family would raise something like Shang Huai.
Shang Huai kept a straight face until he returned to his residence. He hurriedly got off the carriage and ran back to the Pei residence.
"Why did you come back?"
When Shang Huai saw Pei Zhi, he looked aggrieved.
Shang Huai briefly recounted everything that had happened in the carriage to Pei Zhi, saying, "Look at what I've become in front of my grandparents for your sake!"
Pei Zhi reached out and patted Shang Huai's head: "Who knows if you're being sincere?"
Pei Zhi rubbed her knees. "I can't stand up now, and I don't know what the future holds. It's normal for you to have other plans."
Shang Huai was completely dumbfounded when he heard Pei Zhi's words.
"Are you serious?"
Shang Huai made a move to stand up: "You just wait."
"I'm going home now and having them send people over to propose marriage."
"If they don't agree, I'm going to stay on my knees and not get up. You'd better not regret it later."
"Hey hey hey."
Pei Zhi quickly softened her stance, because she knew that Shang Huai was truly capable of such actions.
"Was there a mistake?"
Pei Zhi nodded: "Wrong, wrong."
Shang Huai pinched Pei Zhi's cheek, still feeling annoyed: "Let it go this time."
Shang Huai threatened, "If you dare to say anything again, I'll despise you. I'll make sure you learn your lesson for saying such heartless things."
Pei Zhi showed no fear whatsoever: "How are you planning to teach me a lesson?"
"I…"
"I…"
Shang Huai had been trying for a while, but hadn't managed to say anything.
Shang Huai was somewhat discouraged. Well, he admitted that he really had no way to deal with Pei Zhi.
"You're just bullying me."
Pei Zhi was displeased. "Then you don't know, Xiao Chengci is in a worse situation than you."
"He even got slapped several times on the face."
Shang Huai asked curiously, "You hit him?"
Shang Huai bent down and approached Pei Zhi somewhat reluctantly: "You can't be so unfair."
"If you hit him, try hitting me too."
“…”
Pei Zhi fell completely silent.
Are you sick?
Otherwise, Pei Zhi wouldn't understand what kind of request Shang Huai was making.
Offering it up to her to hit? She must be out of her mind.
Shang Huai said clingily, "I want to experience it; you've never hit me before."
Pei Zhi glared at Shang Huai unhappily: This time, Shang Huai really didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.
"I was just joking with you, why are you angry?"
Shang Huai put away his joking expression: "At most, I'll be going back to Beicheng in another half month."
"So fast?"
Pei Zhi was also a little surprised. How come it felt like time had passed so quickly? Shang Huai had only been back for a short time.
"As the head coach, it's not good for me to be away from Beijing all the time. I've been away for almost two months now."
Including the time lost on the road, Shang Huai spent a relatively long time in the capital this time.
"I won't be able to come back for at least six months after I go back this time."
"I'm not worried about anything else, just don't forget about me."
Shang Huai thought of Pei Zhi, who was so heartless. If he didn't see Pei Zhi for half a year, who knew where she would have forgotten about him.
"Look at me, I can't even stand up right now, what other thoughts could I possibly have?"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Shang Huai said in a muffled voice, "You're a terrifying person. Even though you can't stand up, you can still make me run around in circles!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi burst into laughter.
You see, Shang Huai was acknowledging her charm, so of course she was happy.
"Go back and focus on your studies. You can write to me when you have time."
Pei Zhi stopped joking and knew that Shang Huai's official business was important.
What Shang Huai did was to protect the people of the world, which is a very important matter.
"And you can also look forward to the possibility that I might suddenly come to visit you one day?"
"Wouldn't you be happy to receive a surprise from me?"
Shang Huai sighed, then suddenly leaned close to Pei Zhi, "How could you be like this!"
"Huh?" Pei Zhi tilted her head, not understanding.
"Now that you mention it, I've already started missing you even before I've left."
Shang Huai gritted his teeth and said, "You're playing me like a dog!"
Shang Huai knew what was important and what was urgent. Even if he was reluctant to leave Pei Zhi, he still had to leave.
Shang Huai was worried that Pei Zhi's leg was still injured and she was not able to walk properly.
Does Pei Zhi get bored being home alone?
Xiao Chengci is also a busy person, and it is quite difficult for him to take time out every other day to accompany Pei Zhi.
Shang Huai was worried that Xiao Chengci wouldn't be able to take care of him alone once he left.
"Why don't you come with me to the North City?"
“I’m in the army during the day, and I can come home to be with you at night. Or, I can take you to visit the army base during the day.”
Pei Zhi listened to Shang Huai's childish words and asked, "I went with you, and then what?"
"You're in the military camp during the day, do you have time to take care of me?"
Pei Zhi thought for a moment and then said, "If you could arrange for a few young men to keep me company, I might consider it."
Upon hearing this, Shang Huai was not angry; instead, he began to think about it seriously.
It seems they are considering the feasibility of this matter.
"You mean what you say?"
"What?"
"Come back to the north of the city with me. You can pick any of the young men in the army you want to pass the time."
Shang Huai was unusually generous this time, but it was only because he thought this deal was worthwhile.
If we can take Pei Zhi away, the rest doesn't seem so important.
Besides, he's still alive. Does anyone in the military really dare to cuckold him? Aren't they afraid of death?
