Yu Ruyue was a bit amused by his expression. "Why are you being so particular? I'm just asking if you want to marry me."

Shen Zhiheng stood up excitedly and said repeatedly: "Yes! Of course I do! I even think about it in my dreams."

Yu Ruyue looked at the wound on his foot, which had been cleaned and was now covered in sand and gravel again. She was so angry that she quickly stepped forward and pushed him back to sit down. "Just talk! Why are you standing there? The wound was cleaned with great effort, and now it's covered in dust again!"

Shen Zhiheng didn't care about the injury on his feet at all. It should be said that if he knew that his feet were injured, Yu Ruyue would agree to marry him. He wished that the injury was more serious and happened sooner.

"I… I'm just so happy that you finally agreed to marry me. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

Yu Ruyue raised an eyebrow and asked him with a smile, "How long??"

Shen Zhiheng looked back at her with burning eyes, "From the first time I knew you were not her!"

Yu Ruyue's face flushed instantly, "When did you know?"

Shen Zhiheng also blushed a little, "I noticed it when I was eating hawthorn cake..."

Yu Ruyue exclaimed, "It's so early!?"

"You~ You've actually been watching me pretending to be the original owner. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I think you're a little timid, and I was afraid of scaring you away, so I didn't tell you."

Yu Ruyue had always thought she was disguising herself very well, but she didn't expect the disguise to fall off so early! ?

However, that meant that Shen Zhiheng had already fallen in love with me at that time...

Yu Ruyue said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Since you've liked me for so long, why do you always give me such a sour face? If I touch you, it's like I'm going to kill you. You really hate my feelings, and I thought I hid it well."

Shen Zhiheng turned his head away with a guilty look on his face. "Well, I don't hate you. I'm just afraid of scaring you, and I'm also afraid of losing control of my emotions. After all, you didn't like me at that time."

Yu Ruyue thought about it. If Shen Zhiheng had shown any affection towards her at that time, she would definitely think that he was crazy, or had some bad intentions, wanting to paralyze her first and then give her a fatal blow...

"All right!"

"wrong!"

Yu Ruyue suddenly remembered that night. She thought she had taken advantage of him and pushed her uncle down!

Shen Zhiheng instantly saw what she was thinking. "I didn't want to do it that night. I felt it was disrespectful to you. I even ran away once, wanting to give you another chance to choose. But you were so annoying, and I was really tempted, so...that's why I was like that."

Yu Ruyue then remembered that Shen Zhiheng had indeed rejected her several times that night.

Ok!

Or she took advantage of him.

"Okay! Then you wait inside. I'm going to go out and talk to my parents about this."

"Let's choose a good date and get married in this mountain. From now on, I will be your official wife, and you will be my legitimate husband."

Although Shen Zhiheng dreamed of having a legitimate status, he quickly raised his hand to stop her, "Um~ I think this is too hasty. Can you wait for me for three days? No! Just two days will be enough."

"You must wait for me."

After Shen Zhiheng finished speaking, he hastily put on a pair of new shoes and socks, and then ran down the mountain in a panic. He was so flustered that he almost fell.

Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan, one holding clean clothes and the other holding freshly prepared food, saw this scene as soon as they came over.

They quickly walked over to their daughter, who was standing at the door in a daze. "What's wrong? You're leaving right after arriving?"

"Yeah, his injuries haven't healed yet. Looking at the situation, it looks like there's a ghost chasing him. Did you scold him?"

Yu Ruyue shook her head. "No! I never scolded him. I just asked him if he was willing to marry me."

Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan nodded in agreement at first, as if conditioned reflex, and then looked at their daughter in shock. "What did you say?"

"marry!?"

"Who is following whom?"

"You and him?"

"When?"

"Why get married?"

It was a bit strange to hear my parents ask, "We already have two children, why can't we get married?"

Yu Dehou: "Aren't you unwilling? He came here several times before to ask for a title!"

Liang Shulan: "Yes! Aren't you afraid that he will change his mind and find a concubine in the future? After all, he is an ancient man."

Yu Ruyue nodded, staring at the bloody footprints spreading in the distance. "I really didn't want to get married before, but this time I've come to my senses. Human life is only a few decades long. Excluding eating, sleeping, and getting sick, there's only so much time. Besides, you never know when another natural disaster or beating will happen. This time, we're both unharmed, but what about next time?"

"So, I figured it out. Focus on the present and don't think too much!"

"Anyway, everyone will die sooner or later!"

Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan followed their daughter's gaze and looked at the rows of bloody footprints.

It seems that I can understand why my daughter's attitude has changed so much.

But why is that brat running?

Could it be that he regretted it again?

It shouldn’t be!

However, they soon found out what Shen Zhiheng had done as he staggered down.

On the morning of the third day, before everyone got up, they were woken up by the clanging sounds outside.

Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan stood up in a daze and saw a row of people standing outside the cave. Next to each person was a large box, and the person at the back was even carrying a deer!

Shen Zhiheng held two cages in his hands, and inside them looked like two wild geese... And he himself, dressed in a dark red suit, with a jade crown in his hair and a jade pendant on his waist, looked very handsome and at attention! The two of them glanced at each other, and it seemed as if they knew what the boy had done when he left in such a hurry that day.

The other people in the cave also understood what Shen Zhiheng meant.

However, no one expected that this incident would happen so suddenly.

It didn't seem like they had this intention before, but since they are already pregnant, it is normal for them to get married!

When Shen Zhiheng saw Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan coming out, he immediately lifted up his brand new robe and knelt directly on the ground.

"Uncle, Aunt! I, Shen Chou, have no parents, and no one to teach or help me in many things. I have been forced to figure things out on my own. Today, I bring all my current belongings with me to ask you two elders to marry Ruyue! I know that according to the normal process, we should find a matchmaker or an intermediary to compare our horoscopes, and then send three letters and six engagements to show our sincerity."

"But I never believed in fortune-telling, and I don't even know my actual birth date. As for the three letters and six engagements, I've already prepared everything."

"Here they are: the engagement letter, the gift letter, and the welcoming letter!"
