Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 25

"A cat? Your family actually keeps a cat? It must be so adorable!" Feng Qingyi had always wanted to have a cat, but she couldn't keep one in the dorm, and there was no one to take care of it at home, so she had to give up the idea.

Qin Yuchuan blurted out, "Not as cute as you."

Feng Qingyi didn't know what Qin Yuchuan meant exactly, nor did she know how to respond. She was a little dazed.

Qin Yuchuan noticed that he had misspoken, "It's my Mother's cat, pure white, and indeed adorable."

"Oh, I see! I'd love to see it someday if I get a chance." He must have misspoken earlier!

Seeing that Feng Qingyi didn't pursue the matter further, Qin Yuchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Okay, goodbye!" After hanging up, Feng Qingyi didn't dwell on it and returned to the dorm.

Shen Hanyue looked at Feng Qingyi, "Qingyi, who were you talking to on the phone for half an hour before coming down? Is there something going on?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just a friend, we chatted for a bit longer." Feng Qingyi brushed it off.

Qu Jingqiu said softly, "A friend? But that should not be an ordinary friend, otherwise you wouldn't have avoided us like this in the past when making phone calls."

If she were really making a call in the dorm, they might think she had gone crazy, for who would know that the person calling her was from ancient times? This whole thing would have seemed absurd to her in the past.

"I didn't want to disturb you, so I went up to get some fresh air. It was quite cool on the rooftop."

On the other side, after hanging up, Qin Yuchuan noticed a new message on his phone: Intimacy level has reached 100, unlocking the transfer item function. Click to view details.

Qin Yuchuan clicked to see, and upon learning that he could transfer items to Feng Qingyi, he was eager to try it out, but he didn't quite know what kind of things girls liked.

It was already late in the day, so he would go and look around the streets tomorrow. She seemed to like pretty things.

...

The next day, after the morning court session, Qin Yuchuan went out onto the streets.

He stopped for a while in front of a jewelry shop, and eventually decided to go inside.

Looking at the neatly arranged hairpins, earrings, and other accessories, Qin Yuchuan felt a bit perplexed about how to choose.

But then again, in their video calls, he had never seen her wearing any hairpins. She had worn earrings, but he didn't know if they would be suitable.

"Sir, are you looking to buy jewelry? If you're not sure how to choose, you can tell me who it's for," the shopkeeper asked.

Qin Yuchuan replied, "I want to give it to a young lady."

"In that case, sir, you might want to choose from this side. These colors are more vibrant and suitable for young ladies."

Qin Yuchuan looked at them for a while, "Then please wrap up everything on this side."

"...Everything?" The shopkeeper was astonished, for that was an extravagant gesture.

"Yes, and please put them in a box," Qin Yuchuan instructed.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Sir, please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

After buying the jewelry, Qin Yuchuan continued strolling down the street and stopped for a while in front of a clothing store.

Before he could enter, Qin Yuchuan was tapped on the shoulder, and reflexively, he kicked the person down to the ground.

Chu Sixing got up from the ground, "Qin Yuchuan, that's too much! I heard you were back and came to find you, and you welcomed me like this!"

"My apologies, it's a habit." Although he said sorry, there was no remorse in his tone.

"Never mind, I won't approach you from behind again. What are you holding in your hand?"

Before Qin Yuchuan could answer, Chu Sixing walked over and opened the box.

"Yuchuan, why did you buy so many hairpins? Don't tell me you're giving them to some young lady?"

Qin Yuchuan didn't respond and walked straight into the clothing store.

Chu Sixing followed, "Yuchuan, are you here to make clothes?"

"No."

Qin Yuchuan looked at a few dresses on display in the store. The colors were vibrant, and the patterns were nice, quite suitable.

"Shopkeeper, please wrap up these dresses."

Chu Sixing was dumbfounded. Could it be that Yuchuan had really taken a liking to some young lady? Buying jewelry and clothes, he was truly sparing no expense.

The shopkeeper wanted to ask about the sizes, but was intimidated by Qin Yuchuan's aura, so he simply wrapped up the clothes and handed them over.

"Sir, the clothes are ready. If there are any sizing issues, you can come back for alterations."

After paying, Qin Yuchuan picked up the two boxes and prepared to return home.

"Why are you following me? Is there something you need?" he asked Chu Sixing.

Chu Sixing replied, "Can't I just visit you? Come on, tell me who these gifts are for?"

"If there's nothing important, then leave." Qin Yuchuan wore a cold expression.

"Qin Yuchuan, I came all this way to see you, and you won't even give me that much courtesy?"

He had heard that Yuchuan was back in the capital, so he left his affairs to come find him, but Yuchuan was being so rude.

Qin Yuchuan had no intention of entertaining Chu Sixing further and returned home with the two boxes.

Back at his residence, Qin Yuchuan went straight to his study.

He placed the two boxes on his desk, took out his phone, and scanned them. The boxes then disappeared from his desk.

Qin Yuchuan was quite pleased with this. The things he bought, she should like them, right?

If not, he would go look for something else on the streets.

However, Qin Yuchuan waited with his phone all afternoon, but didn't receive any reply from Feng Qingyi.

Even during lunch, Qin Yuchuan seemed distracted.

Xuanyuan Xi noticed Qin Yuchuan's unusual behavior, "Yuchuan, is there something on your mind?"

"Nothing." Qin Yuchuan denied it.

Xuanyuan Xi looked at the bowl in her hand, "The bowl we're using today seems to be the one you brought back from the military camp. But the military doesn't have bowls like this. I wonder where you got it from, Yuchuan."

Qin Yuchuan knew that Xuanyuan Xi was probing him, and since Yan Yang had reported that Na Muqi had seen his Mother, Na Muqi must have told her about the situation.

"Mother already knows, there's no need to ask further."

Xuanyuan Xi said, "Yuchuan, you've grown up. Do as you wish, I won't interfere. But can you tell me, do you truly have feelings for the young lady from that little box?"

"What is this 'feeling' you speak of?" As someone who hadn't been alone with a woman for twenty-five years, Qin Yuchuan had no concept of romance.

Xuanyuan Xi could also tell from this that Na Muqi might have exaggerated a little. Qin Yuchuan's current appearance suggested that he was still far from realizing his feelings.

"To like someone means you can't help but think of her, want to be close to her, and want to understand her."

"It means you want to share all your joys and sorrows with her, and seeing her makes you feel happy."

"Perhaps that person isn't the most perfect in this world, but in your heart, she is the best, a unique existence."
