Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 61

Feng Qingyi felt that the process of drying her hair seemed to be taking a bit too long.

Sometimes she didn't want to use a hair dryer and would just roughly dry her hair with a towel, taking only three minutes to get it done.

Qin Yuchuan had been drying his hair for nearly ten minutes now, yet it still wasn't dry.

"Done," Qin Yuchuan handed the towel to Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi took it, turning to the other side, "Thank you."

Qin Yuchuan: "When living alone, you need to take good care of yourself. When the weather turns cooler, don't come out wearing so little and let the cold wind blow on you."

"I know, you should take care of yourself too."

His living environment was far more dangerous than hers; one misstep and he could lose his life.

Qin Yuchuan felt the warmth of his phone in his sleeve, and he knew his time here was running short.

Before leaving, he just wanted to see her properly and talk to her.

"Qingyi, may I embrace you?"

Feng Qingyi was stunned for a moment, "Ah! Why?"

"I think I may have to go back soon." I want to embrace you before I leave.

Feng Qingyi didn't ask when he was going back, she just stood up and hugged him.

"Qin Yuchuan, I'm glad to see the real you."

Qin Yuchuan didn't know where to put his hands, hesitating for a long time before gently touching Feng Qingyi's back.

Smelling the fragrance of white tea on the young lady in his arms, he felt this was already a rare scenic view in his life.

Feng Qingyi gently released her arms from around Qin Yuchuan, "If you can come again in the future, I'll show you all the sights of the capital."

"Okay." You are already the best view.

A gust of wind blew, dispersing the faint fragrance of pine in the air, and with it, Qin Yuchuan also disappeared.

It was as if he had never come, as if it was just a dream.

Feng Qingyi ran to check the guest room, but there was no one there.

Only in the room where Qin Yuchuan had stayed were the clothes she had bought for him, a testament that it had all truly happened.

Feng Qingyi didn't know why, but she somehow felt a sense of loss.

They were people from two different worlds, each with their own lives. What was she hoping for?

...

In the outskirts of Shengjing, Yan Chi, Yan Yang, and Qin Yuchuan appeared out of thin air in a forest.

"General, we're back!" Yan Yang was quite excited.

When he saw a bag of snacks in his hand, he became even more excited.

"I didn't expect that the food Miss Qingyi gave me would come back with me too. I was just about to put this on the bedside cabinet, but then we suddenly came back."

Qin Yuchuan looked at the night sky, "Back to the mansion."

"Do you think there might be an ambush around here?" Yan Chi was a bit wary.

Yan Yang: "We've been at Miss Qingyi's place for a day. There shouldn't be anyone waiting to ambush us here!"

Yan Chi: "It's always better to be cautious."

The three of them left the forest and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

So they quickened their pace and returned to the General's Mansion.

Inside the General's Mansion, Princess Xuanyuan Xi was pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

Bai Wei advised, "Princess, the General is a man of great fortune, there must not be any problems."

"But it's been a day now, and there's still no news."

"If something had delayed him, he would definitely have sent Yan Chi or Yan Yang back to report."

"But now there's not a word, how can I not worry?"

Xuanyuan Xi was very uneasy, not knowing what had happened recently.

Bai Wei also knew that no matter how she tried to reassure her now, it would be useless. She could only silently pray for their safety.

"Princess, the General, Yan Chi, and Yan Yang have returned!" A guard from the mansion came to report.

Xuanyuan Xi confirmed it again, "They really came back? Are they injured?"

The guard replied, "Reporting to the Princess, all three of them are uninjured and have gone to rest."

"That's good, that's good. Bai Wei, let's go rest too." Xuanyuan Xi was relieved.

Bai Wei: "Princess, don't you want to go see the General?"

"It's late today, since he's already back, I won't disturb his rest. I'll go another day. He must be tired." After saying this, Xuanyuan Xi went into her room.

At this moment, after returning to his own bedroom, Qin Yuchuan took out his phone and sent a message to Feng Qingyi.

[Yuchuan: I'm home.]

He had just returned, but he already missed seeing her again.

[Qingyi: It's good that you're back. Get some rest then.]

[Yuchuan: Okay, good night.]

[Qingyi: Good night.]

Lying on her bed, Feng Qingyi thought about the events of the day, feeling they were somewhat unreal.

The photos she secretly took of Qin Yuchuan were still in her phone's gallery, showing him holding a book, focused and serene.

The book she said she would give him seemed to still be in the study. She had to remember to send it to him tomorrow.

She hoped she would have another chance to see him again.

The sun rose slowly, its rays gentle and warm, bathing the city.

In the dining hall of the General's Mansion, Qin Yuchuan and Xuanyuan Xi sat at opposite ends.

"Ah-chuan, where did you go yesterday?" Xuanyuan Xi asked.

Thinking of yesterday, Qin Yuchuan suddenly remembered Feng Qingyi. He wondered if she was awake at this hour.

Qin Yuchuan: "The night before last, I encountered an accident and was drugged, losing consciousness. When I awoke, I was already in Qingyi's home."

Xuanyuan Xi was a bit surprised, "Qingyi's home? You went to her world then? Did you see her?"

Qin Yuchuan nodded, "Coincidentally, she was on vacation at home yesterday, so I stayed at her place for a day."

"So what did you two do yesterday?" Xuanyuan Xi was curious.

Qin Yuchuan thought about it, "We went out shopping together."

"But did you express your feelings for her?" Going shopping and such wasn't important, confirming the relationship was!

Qin Yuchuan shook his head, "It's too early for that now. She's still naive and innocent."

"If you don't say it, how will she know you like her? Sometimes you have to be more direct."

Finally getting to see her in person, yet not getting to the main business - she was going to die from exasperation!

Qin Yuchuan slowly said, "Mother, in their world, one can't marry until the age of twenty, so there's no rush."

No rush? If you keep having no rush, you'll regret it later!

"That's about not rushing into marriage. But at the very least, you should express your intentions first and see what she thinks of you."

"You can't be by her side every day. How do you know if there's someone pursuing her?"

"If an excellent person appears around her, someone from the same world as her, she'll weigh the pros and cons and will surely prioritize someone who can be with her."

"In matters of love, there's something to be said for who came first. Think about it carefully yourself."

She seemed to rarely talk to him about the people and things around her, and he didn't ask either, or perhaps her mother was right.

But if she refused, how would they interact afterwards? Would they cease all contact, or forget each other, disappearing into the rivers and lakes? These were not the outcomes he wanted.

"What if she refuses?"

Xuanyuan Xi: "If you want to pursue a girl, you have to be prepared for rejection."
