I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

Pei Yi waited until the last firework had burned out before looking down at Yu Wanwan.

His eyes were deep and dark.

He gazed at her.

After a long while, he said, "Thank you. It's not just me who thanks you, but all the people of the Great Sheng Kingdom also thank you."

Thank you for helping us so much.

"Since you're thanking me, just promise me the third thing I'll say."

Yu Wanwan continued.

"The third thing I want to say is that during my time at the border, I wanted to stay by your side the whole time."

Pei Yi looked somewhat surprised.

"Always by my side?"

"That's right. I've been staying by your side the whole time I'm at the border. I promise I'll keep quiet and won't bother you, okay?"

Pei Yi frowned.

He blurted out, "You don't mind the smell on me, you don't mind that I'm dirty?"

Although there is now water in the military camp, the drinking water problem for the people has not been completely solved.

Even his subordinates advised him to take a shower first.

But Pei Yi still refused.

He knew that Yu Wanwan would dislike the smell on him, but he would rather be disliked by her than waste everyone's life-saving water.

"Who said I was dissatisfied?"

"I was in time travel... no, I mean before I met the gods, I wasn't much cleaner than you. And you were on the battlefield, fighting and killing enemies, so isn't it normal for you to be a little dirty and smelly?"

If you keep yourself impeccably clean while your subordinates don't even have water to drink, then I'll really look down on you.

“So,” Yu Wanwan suddenly realized.

"So, the reason you've been avoiding me these past two days is because you think I find you dirty and smelly?"

Yu Wanwan began to doubt whether what He Ping said could be true.

Moreover, there were no girls in the military camp.

Could it be that Pei Yi has never interacted with girls before?

Otherwise, why would he choose to avoid her instead of asking her directly about such a small matter?

"Wait, let me guess again, did the fourth brother say something to you?"

Pei Yi's deliberate avoidance of her was discovered, and his face flushed.

I was unusually at a loss.

He nodded.

"I knew it. That kid just likes to talk nonsense. From now on, you should only believe half of what he says."

"Never mind, as long as you know I don't mind, that's enough. I was just a little uncomfortable at first and my reaction was a bit too strong, but now I'm completely used to it."

"Let's get back to business now."

After finishing the trivial matters, Yu Wanwan brought the topic back.

"I just said that during this time at the border, I want to stay by your side the whole time, okay?"

After saying so much, Yu Wanwan was a little thirsty.

She took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp.

Then, she looked on in confusion and saw that Pei Yi's face seemed to have turned even redder.

The moment she uttered the words that she wanted to stay by his side forever, his face flushed as red as a boiled shrimp.

She asked with concern, "Do you have any wounds too? Are they infected and you have a fever?"

"If you also have a fever, just take a fever reducer. I see you can still walk now, and you were even able to use your light-body skills without any problems. It doesn't look like the injury is serious, so you definitely don't need an amputation."

Swallowing a fever reducer will most likely make things fine.

Pei Yi shook his head.

"No."

Then his face turned even redder.

That's not convincing at all.

He blushed and said, "Although everyone thinks we are husband and wife, we are not officially married yet. You don't need to make yourself suffer by staying by my side."

"If you don't want to be a general's wife, after the drought and the war are over, once we return to the capital, I will personally speak to the Emperor and ask him to cancel our engagement."

"Ok?"

Yu Wanwan looked completely bewildered.

But having read countless female-oriented novels, she keenly sensed something at this moment.

She said with great certainty, "So you're really not blushing because you have a fever, but because you think I want to fulfill my duties as a wife and that's why you're by your side?"

You're blushing because you're shy?

"Hey, you're a great general, shouldn't your persona be a cool guy, a celibate male god?"

"It's really incongruous of you to be blushing with a full beard like that."

He still sports a rugged beard and is a great general who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield. Don't tell her that he's also an innocent young boy.

That's quite a contrast, isn't it?

Pei Yi unscrewed the mineral water bottle, tilted his head back, and drank a few mouthfuls of water quickly.

He dared not look at Yu Wanwan.

It just tilted its head back and looked up at the sky, as if it were very busy.

Once his forehead wasn't so red, he finally looked down at Yu Wanwan.

She said, "No, my face turned red because it was too hot just now. By the way, you still haven't told me why you want to stay by my side all the time?"

He changed the subject himself.

They even changed the subject he had just started.

Yu Wanwan wasn't one to pry, so since Pei Yi had changed the subject, she continued to state her purpose.

"You know I'm very familiar with the gods, right? I can not only provide food and water, but also many other things that are extremely useful to you, things that you have never seen or even imagined before."

In other words, I am very useful, no, I should say I am extremely useful.

It's useful; you could even exaggerate a bit and say, "Whoever gains me gains the world."

"So you're saying that if people from other countries knew how useful I was, wouldn't they try to bring me back? If they did, they might force me to do a lot of things I don't want to do."

If she is captured, she will be a prisoner.

The prisoners she saw in novels and TV dramas all lived miserable lives.

She certainly doesn't have the same freedom she has now as the wife of a general in the Great Sheng Kingdom.

“I don’t want to be captured by them, and I believe you and the others in Dasheng Kingdom want me to be captured even less.”

And I've also heard that your martial arts skills are the best in the entire border region, so I should be the safest person to stay by your side.”

"Don't worry, I don't need you to protect me for too long."

After a while, I'll have the ability to protect myself, and then I'll be able to protect myself.

Once she travels back in time, she'll be able to stockpile some firearms.

She finished saying what she wanted to say and looked at Pei Yi expectantly.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, what just happened here? Don't worry, I'm coming to protect you."

Suddenly, the fourth brother came speeding over on his bicycle.

Unable to brake in time, it crashed into Yu Wanwan and Pei Yi.

Yu Wanwan didn't react in time and couldn't dodge.

Pei Yi lunged at her to protect her.
