Chapter 838 Heartbeat
Sheng Ze stared at her quietly for a long time before speaking, "I didn't propose marriage."
Shen Qingqian blurted out, "Do you want to go in a few days?"
After all, it has only been four months since she came of age. Is Shengze trying to buffer the situation for a few days and appear less anxious?
"No," Sheng Ze shook his head, "I won't propose marriage until you are completely ready."
Now Shen Qingqian was stunned.
Sheng Ze had always been very eager before, and she thought that when the deadline came, he would definitely be eager to propose marriage, but now he told her that he would wait until she was ready.
Shen Qingqian had never been in love in her previous life, but because she lived in an era of highly developed information, even if she had not experienced it personally, she had seen the love and marriage experiences of many people around her and on the Internet.
In the future when women's status gradually improves, the subordinate relationship between men and women also changes.
Modern independent women do not want to rely on men ideologically, but men's ideas have not kept up with the times and are still stuck in the subordinate relationship since feudal society, resulting in a rapid increase in divorce and non-marriage rates.
To be honest, Shen Qingqian was somewhat resistant to marriage in her heart. If possible, she did not want to get married in this strange era.
Before she agreed to Shengze's proposal, the first thing that came to her mind was "even if the proposal is made, she can still delay the marriage."
But she didn't expect Shengze to give up the proposal on his own initiative and told her that he would wait until she was ready.
"Qianqian, I can wait, wait for you to accept me from the bottom of your heart, wait for you to be willing to let me appear in your life every day from now on." Sheng Ze touched her head with a doting smile in his eyes.
Shen Qingqian was silent. She knew she should say something at this time, but she really didn't know what to say.
"Don't think about it, you should start practicing." Sheng Ze looked at her with amusement.
Although the girl looked stunned, he could still see that she was secretly relieved, yet also very conflicted. It seemed that his decision was correct.
Shen Qingqian nodded subconsciously, "Well, I went over the fifth section last night, but I'm not very proficient yet. Can you help me look at it again?"
She decided not to dwell on it and let her relationship with Sheng Ze develop naturally.
At this moment, Shen Qingqian had not yet realized that she had already fallen in love with Sheng Ze.
Old Qin didn't come back that night, so Shen Qingqian went back to her room after practicing. After resetting the system, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Before, she was always worried that Shengze would go to propose marriage, but now that he didn’t go, she felt a little uncomfortable.
In the second half of the night, Shen Qingqian finally fell asleep from her wild thoughts, but was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"General Cheng, urgent news has arrived from the direction of Jiji Mountain. The Jun people are attacking. General, please come over."
As soon as Shen Qingqian put on her clothes and opened the door, she saw a soldier speaking anxiously to Sheng Ze.
Sheng Ze didn't know if he hadn't slept just now, but he was still dressed neatly. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I'll be right there."
He left without looking back. Shen Qingqian watched his back and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The direction of Jiji Mountain was one of the areas where they had previously focused their defenses. The messenger looked so anxious, it was obvious that something had happened.
That night, the army in northern Hubei was brightly lit. A 20,000-man force rushed to Jiji Mountain overnight, led by Shengze.
The 20,000-strong army marched for eight hours before reaching Jiji Mountain. Before Shengze and his men had time to set up camp, the Jun tribe's army attacked again.
