Later, Shi Ci learned many words and memorized many poems.
She was finally able to speak in a coherent manner, and no one would laugh at her for having nothing to say.
But every sleepless night, she recalled the time when she didn't know a word.
Just to take one more look at that lively young man.

Shi Ci didn't like learning to write, but Gui Yu, who was tolerant of her in every possible way, was extremely determined on this matter.
On this day, under her aggrieved and protesting eyes, Guiyu resolutely locked the door of the study room, swung his folding fan that never left his hand, found an armchair and sat down at random, as comfortable as he wanted.
Looking at her, he smiled casually: "When will I learn these ten words, and when will I let you out? I'll just watch here, and I'll put away the bad ideas, it's useless."
The teacher had no choice but to sit down and practice calligraphy reluctantly.
One side of the rice paper is his sophisticated and elegant handwriting, and the other side is her crooked scribblings.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt aggrieved. She couldn't hold it back and shed a few tears.
In the end, it was Guiyu who gave in.
He handed over a soft handkerchief, sighed, and discussed with her softly: "At least learn to write your name, okay?"
"Shi Ci is a beautiful name."

On the day of Guiyu's expedition, he was wearing dragon scale armor and standing in the vegetable garden with a bright smile.
He called her Ci and asked her with a smile: "When I return home, will you marry me?"
For the first time, Shi Ci put aside all reserve, trotted into his arms, and murmured: "I will learn to write well and recite poems well. I agree to everything you say."
"In exchange, I just want you to be safe."
He clearly said yes.

Shi Ci will always remember that day.
The heavy raindrops formed pools on the ground.
He was dressed in white, with several dirty gray and black stains on his body.
The young man, who had never been afraid of death, ran towards her with panic steps, hugged her tightly in his arms, and called her name over and over again.
Until she reached out and hugged her back, and choked with sobs: "It seems like I have been waiting for a long time..."
"Fortunately, I finally waited until you came back."
