Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

After dinner, Qin Yuchuan gave the box to Nan Yin and Feng Zhixing.

Nan Yin took the box and asked curiously, "What's inside?"

Qin Yuchuan replied, "Just a small token of appreciation. I hope you'll accept it."

Feng Zhixing took the box from Nan Yin's hands, saying, "That's thoughtful of you."

Feng Qingyi linked arms with Qin Yuchuan and said, "Mom, Dad, we'll be going now. Bye!"

Nan Yin responded, "Alright, be safe on your way!"

After Feng Qingyi and Qin Yuchuan left, Nan Yin took out a gift from her bag and handed it to Lou Xi.

"Xixi, this is a little something from auntie. Please accept it."

Lou Xi took it, saying, "Thank you, uncle and auntie."

Nan Yin said, "No need to thank us. We're all family now. By the way, honey, where's the gift you prepared for Yuchuan?"

Feng Zhixing opened the box Qin Yuchuan had given them.

"I was going to give it to him earlier, but when I saw this box, I felt a bit embarrassed about our gift, so I decided not to give it."

He had chosen a gift for a man, just tucking a bank card into an envelope.

Now that this agarwood box had appeared, bringing out a bank card would have been humiliating in comparison.

Nan Yin asked, "What's so special about this box?"

"Never mind the box, come look at what's inside." He had thought the box itself was impressive, but the contents were even more valuable.

Nan Yin walked over, asking, "What's so special about these items?"

Feng Zhixing explained, "This jade and this purple clay teapot are both extremely valuable. Do you remember what Qingyi said her family business was?"

Feng Qingci chimed in, "I know! I heard their family deals in antiques. Does that mean my calligraphy brush is also valuable? How much do you think I could sell it for?"

Feng Zhixing took the brush from Feng Qingci's hand to examine it. "Sell? No, you're giving this to me."

Feng Qingci snatched the brush back, "No way! You already have the teapot and cups. This was given to me."

Nan Yin picked up the jade bracelet, admiring it repeatedly, clearly enamored.

"Qingci, Xixi, we're heading out too. You two should go home soon as well."

Lou Xi said, "Uncle, Auntie, goodbye!"

After Nan Yin and Feng Zhixing left, Feng Qingci held Lou Xi's hand with one hand and the calligraphy brush with the other.

"Xixi, how much do you think this brush is worth? Should we try to sell it?"

Lou Xi replied, "I remember giving you a card. Are you short on money?"

"I have money, but I can't use it. This brush looks quite valuable though." He twirled the brush in his hand.

Lou Xi advised, "This brush is better for collecting. Take it home and keep it safe. It will appreciate in value over time."

"Alright then!" He thought it might be worth even more if he sold it in the future.

On the way back to the villa, Feng Qingyi linked arms with Qin Yuchuan.

"Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" she asked.

Qin Yuchuan shook his head, "No, just walking around with you is fine."

Feng Qingyi smiled and asked, "Are you going back home tonight?"

"Do you want me to go back?" Qin Yuchuan asked in return.

Feng Qingyi shook her head, "I don't want you to. Does that mean you'll stay?"

"Mm-hmm." He had specifically arranged his time for tonight.

Feng Qingyi happily leaned against him, "Then shall we go watch a movie together?"

"Sure." She had mentioned wanting to go to the cinema together a long time ago.

Feng Qingyi took out her phone and found the nearest cinema.

"Look, what would you like to watch? We can see any of these!" Feng Qingyi held her phone up to Qin Yuchuan's face.

Qin Yuchuan glanced at it, "Qingqing, just choose whatever you like."

Feng Qingyi took her phone back and looked at the recent releases, "Then let's watch this historical war film."

Qin Yuchuan nodded, "Alright."

After buying the tickets, Feng Qingyi put her phone back in her bag, "It's still quite early. Let's walk there slowly."

Qin Yuchuan asked about the tea house, "How did the tea house opening go today?"

"It went well, except for that friend of yours who came to cause trouble. He brought his cousin sister too, who was quite pretty," Feng Qingyi said.

Qin Yuchuan stroked Feng Qingyi's head, "Qingqing is the prettiest. Don't overthink it."

Feng Qingyi poked Qin Yuchuan's face, "Your friend made me unhappy, so I'm going to bully you instead."

"Bully me? How do you plan to do that?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi walked in front of Qin Yuchuan and pinched his cheeks with both hands, "Like this!"

Qin Yuchuan said, "Walk properly, don't trip."

Feng Qingyi lowered her mischievous hands and walked beside him again, holding his hand.

"We're almost there. Is there anything you want to eat or drink?"

Qin Yuchuan looked into Feng Qingyi's eyes, "Aren't you full?"

"...Watching a movie without snacks is no fun at all. Let's hurry in and buy some food!" Feng Qingyi pulled Qin Yuchuan along as she ran forward.

Entering the cinema, Feng Qingyi first collected their tickets, then bought two fruit teas and a large bucket of fries.

With a few minutes left before the movie started, Feng Qingyi pulled Qin Yuchuan to sit in the waiting area.

"Do you want some?" Feng Qingyi held out a fry to Qin Yuchuan's mouth.

Qin Yuchuan ate it, "It tastes good."

"Have some more then." Feng Qingyi became interested in feeding Qin Yuchuan and continued to do so several times.

After eating a few, Qin Yuchuan said, "Qingqing, if you keep feeding me, there won't be any left for the movie."

"That's easy to solve, we'll just buy more!" Feng Qingyi said, "Looks like they're starting to check tickets. Let's go in."

Qin Yuchuan followed Feng Qingyi into the theater, looking a bit confused at the glasses in his hand, "What are these?"

Feng Qingyi led him to find their seats, "These are 3D glasses. They make you feel like you're really there. Try not to get too excited during the movie."

After successfully finding their seats, they both sat down. Feng Qingyi put the fries between them, "Help yourself if you want some."

Soon the movie began playing, and Feng Qingyi helped Qin Yuchuan put on his glasses.

As it was a historical war film set in recent times, the atmosphere was quite heavy, but both Feng Qingyi and Qin Yuchuan were deeply engrossed.

Apart from occasionally sipping their fruit tea or eating some fries, the two didn't interact much.

Feng Qingyi had chosen this movie because of Qin Yuchuan's profession, thinking he might be interested in such themes.

After the movie ended, Feng Qingyi tugged at Qin Yuchuan. He took off his glasses and looked at her with a somewhat deep gaze.

"Shall we go?"

Walking out of the cinema, Qin Yuchuan held Feng Qingyi's hand, "Were all those events real?"

Feng Qingyi nodded, "Yes, this type of movie is meant to commemorate and pay tribute to the heroes who sacrificed themselves for the country."

Qin Yuchuan suddenly thought of the soldiers under his command. They had sacrificed themselves on the battlefield, leaving nothing behind but their names. They had even been forced by the country to go to war.

Feng Qingyi stopped walking, "Yuchuan, what's wrong? Are you feeling down?"
