The thought of that scoundrel Feng Beichuan harassing his general time and time again made Deputy General Sun furious, so he told Ye Lingxiao about Feng Beichuan's previous misdeeds in detail.
"You must hurry up and capture our general, or someone else will take advantage of the situation..."
Ye Lingxiao also felt that what Deputy General Sun said made sense, but he was vaguely uneasy because he was unsure of Li Chang'an's thoughts and dared not be too presumptuous.
"Let me think about how to say this. Let's go back first. I just told Chang An that I'd wait for her outside."
After the two returned, Li Chang'an was drinking and chatting with the soldiers when he saw Deputy General Sun and Ye Lingxiao return together. He was surprised and asked, "Why are you two only coming back now?"
"I drank a bit too much, so I'm going out for some fresh air."
Deputy General Sun made up a random excuse to brush it off, then subtly pushed Ye Lingxiao forward, implying that he should hurry up.
"Tsk..."
Ye Lingxiao was also a little anxious, but he didn't have the courage to express his feelings to Li Chang'an in front of so many people. So he simply left Vice General Sun behind and returned to his seat.
Everyone returned to their places, and from time to time, Deputy General Sun would wink at Ye Lingxiao, urging him to speak up.
Ye Lingxiao felt extremely confused. He chatted idly with the person next to him, but his gaze kept drifting towards Li Chang'an. When Li Chang'an realized someone was watching him, he quickly looked away.
This repeated itself, and Ye Lingxiao grew increasingly annoyed.
This is absolutely outrageous and utterly despicable!
"Ling Xiao?"
Just as Ye Lingxiao was having a fierce internal struggle, he was suddenly pulled back to reality.
Why do you seem so preoccupied after just one trip out?
After saying that, Li Chang'an glanced suspiciously at Deputy General Sun, who immediately spread his hands to indicate his innocence.
"Chang An, I...sigh..."
Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, their anticipation turning to disappointment, and finally ending with Ye Lingxiao's helpless sigh.
"Hmm?" Li Chang'an frowned slightly. "What's going on? Speak if you have something to say!"
Ye Lingxiao looked awkward and hesitant. He mustered up his courage and opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. His face turned red very quickly.
"General Lingxiao, are you even a man?!"
Deputy General Sun couldn't stand it any longer. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up. The other soldiers chimed in, and the group made a show of being ready to fight.
Li Chang'an was a little confused. Were these people collectively acting drunk and disorderly?
Ye Lingxiao felt somewhat ashamed, but still maintained her composure like a young woman.
Deputy General Sun looked at him with a disappointed expression, then gritted his teeth and decided to go all out. "General, General Ling Xiao has something very important to tell you!"
"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."
Li Chang'an remained calm, then turned his gaze to Ye Lingxiao, whose face was now as red as a tomato.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats again, and they began to silently cheer for Ye Lingxiao.
Say it! Say it!
Get her! Get her!
"Uh... I..."
Ye Lingxiao started sweating again. This was clearly a case of being forced into a corner. He was now in a dilemma. If there was no resolution, not only would Deputy General Sun and the others feel guilty, but he himself would also feel ashamed.
"Chang An, actually I..."
Feeling an eager gaze directed at him, Ye Lingxiao exchanged a glance with Deputy General Sun. The other general's eyes were full of encouragement, and the other soldiers also looked eager.
Finally, his gaze shifted to Li Chang'an, and a tenderness involuntarily crept in. Ye Lingxiao clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Chang'an, I... I like you..."
I like you.
Ye Lingxiao had practiced countless times in his mind, pondering for a long time how to speak, how to organize his words, and in what kind of occasion to do this.
In the end, all the feelings were transformed into these four short words, a four-word maxim that carries a thousand pounds of weight.
"Good! A true man!"
"Say yes!"
The soldiers started cheering and applauding. Li Chang'an was stunned; this was too sudden!
Ye Lingxiao's words still seemed to echo in his ears, and his heart trembled as if struck by something.
"Chang An, I felt you were special the first time I saw you. I... I don't know what you think, but I may have liked you a long time ago, maybe I don't even know when it started..."
Ye Lingxiao spoke at length, seemingly incoherently, but he knew that some things might not yield results if done, but not doing them would definitely lead to regret.
"Chang An, will you accept me?"
Like thunder in my ears! It bursts into blooming flowers in my heart, then transforms into fluttering butterflies, drawing out delicate and tender feelings that touch the deepest part of my heart.
Li Chang'an couldn't express her feelings at that moment; she was deeply moved. She was a general and also a woman. Even though she was born into a heartless imperial family, she longed for belonging and desired a destined person to be with day and night.
If she could, she would be willing to live a simple life, working from sunrise to sunset, weaving and sewing for the person who deserves her, and setting aside her status to be a good wife and mother to him.
If the fire in one's heart is not extinguished, it will eventually reignite.
"General, what are you waiting for? Agree now!"
"That's right, you can't let General Lingxiao down!"
"Say yes!"
...
Pulling herself back to reality, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ye Lingxiao's earnest and expectant expression filled her with mixed feelings.
dilemma!
