Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

The war between Tianqi and the Southern Frontier lasted for over two years, with both sides experiencing wins and losses. It finally ended with the Southern Frontier voluntarily submitting a letter of surrender.

After the Southern Frontier's surrender, the Tianqi military camp was celebrating this hard-won victory.

Qin Yuchuan was packing up his things in his tent. Yesterday, he had discussed with the other commanders that they would set out to return to the capital tomorrow.

The two-year period was already very short compared to the three to five-year wars he had experienced before. But with someone on his mind, the time still felt long.

"General, Namu and the others are calling you to drink!" Yan Yang walked into the tent.

Qin Yuchuan stood up, "Alright, let's go!"

On a May night, stars dotted the sky, and a gentle breeze stirred up dust.

Both commanders and ordinary soldiers sat around bonfires, toasting each other.

Qin Yuchuan was surrounded in the middle, drinking one cup after another.

"We can go back so quickly this time, thanks to the General!"

"If it weren't for the General's unexpected moves in the last few battles that caught them off guard, we might have been stuck here for another half year."

"The General used to be cautious in deploying troops, but now he's changed quite a bit."

"I think the General is in a hurry to go back and get married!"

"..."

Qin Yuchuan didn't respond to everyone's comments, just silently drinking his wine.

Na Muqi sat beside him, "Were those bold moves in the last few battles really thanks to your fiancée's contribution?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it was just tactics!" Qin Yuchuan denied.

Na Muqi: "You haven't seen each other for two years now, you better make it up to the young lady when you get back."

"..." Although it hadn't been two years since they last met, it had been ten days to half a month since he had seen her in person. He wondered what she was doing now.

She had sent him a message some days ago, saying she was doing an internship and was extremely busy every day.

Seeing Qin Yuchuan lost in thought, Na Muqi continued: "You'd better listen to me. Remember Old Liu's fiancée? When he went back, they had a big fight for some reason. Liu, with his stubborn personality, thought he wasn't wrong at all, and ended up getting his engagement called off."

Qin Yuchuan nodded, "I know."

...

In a hot pot restaurant outside Jing University, Feng Qingyi, Shen Hanyue, Qu Jingqiu, and Lou Xi were eating with relish.

"I'm really done with this. Do you know how bizarre the boss at my internship company is? She actually asked me to clean her office and wash her cups. I'm not a janitor, okay!" Shen Hanyue complained.

Qu Jingqiu: "It's just an internship anyway, bear with it for now. Once it's over and you get the certificate stamped, it's done."

"If the school didn't require an internship certificate, I wouldn't go there to suffer," Shen Hanyue sighed.

Feng Qingyi said: "I'm just a small intern, but my boss takes me wherever she goes on business trips. Fortunately, it ends next month."

Qu Jingqiu: "So what are you planning to do after graduation?"

"I thought we had more time, but I can't believe graduation is coming so soon. I'm really panicking now, I haven't found a job yet!" Shen Hanyue said.

"Then you'd better prepare your resume quickly, or you'll really be unemployed after graduation," Qu Jingqiu said.

Lou Xi said: "The school has a public job fair next month, you can all go check it out. Our major has quite broad career prospects, you can develop in finance, new energy, or computer science directions."

Shen Hanyue suddenly noticed the ring on Lou Xi's hand, "Xi Xi, you're not getting married right after graduation, are you?"

Lou Xi shook her head, "We don't have any plans for that at the moment. Even if we do get married, it would be after our jobs are stable."

Qu Jingqiu suddenly spoke up, "Speaking of this, we should ask Qingyi. You've always said you have a boyfriend, but we haven't seen him in years. You're not fooling us, are you?"

"I'm starting to doubt it too. It's been several years, and we haven't even seen a shadow of him. Even if you're in a long-distance relationship, he should come to see you, right?" Shen Hanyue chimed in.

Feng Qingyi sighed, "The boyfriend is real, and he's really busy. He really doesn't have time."

"It's always the same excuse. Is he busier than the country's leaders?" Shen Hanyue asked.

"...I think it might be about the same!" Feng Qingyi said softly.

Qu Jingqiu: "I suspect we might only see this boyfriend of yours who's busier than the country's leaders when you get married."

Feng Qingyi smiled awkwardly, "Let's eat quickly, then go home and rest early. We still have to go to work tomorrow!"

After dinner, everyone went their separate ways.

Feng Qingyi returned to her bedroom in the villa, turned on the light, and saw Qin Yuchuan sitting on the sofa.

Even from a distance, she could smell the strong scent of alcohol.

Feng Qingyi walked a bit closer and poked him with some distaste.

"Qin Yuchuan, Qin Yuchuan!"

The person on the sofa suddenly opened his eyes and pulled Feng Qingyi into his arms.

"Qingqing, you're back."

"Mm, why did you drink so much?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Qin Yuchuan hugged Feng Qingyi tightly, "I was happy today, so I drank a bit more."

"Happy? Did you win a battle?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Qin Yuchuan nodded, "Mm."

Feng Qingyi pushed him away, "Do you want to take a shower first? You're now..."

"Is Qingqing disliking me again?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi sighed, remembering how she had once said he had gotten too tanned and wasn't as handsome as before. He had apparently held onto that for so long.

"I don't dislike you, it's just that you smell of alcohol all over, and it makes me a bit uncomfortable."

Qin Yuchuan: "Then can Qingqing help me wash?"

"This... this doesn't seem right!" Feng Qingyi panicked a bit.

Qin Yuchuan: "I'm drunk, are you sure it's safe for me to wash alone?"

Feng Qingyi broke free from his embrace, "I'll go prepare the bath water for you, you sit here for a moment."

Qin Yuchuan watched Feng Qingyi hurry into the bathroom, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.

In the bathroom, Feng Qingyi prepared the water in the bathtub and slowly walked out.

"I've prepared the water for you, go in and wash yourself!"

Seeing Qin Yuchuan not moving, Feng Qingyi quickly went over and pushed him in.

"Qingqing, aren't you going to find some clothes for me?"

Feng Qingyi hurriedly grabbed some random sleepwear from the closet and shoved it at him, "Hurry up and go in."

After Qin Yuchuan finished his bath, he looked at the clothes Feng Qingyi had hastily given him and fell into deep thought.

This girl must have done it on purpose, right? She had given him one of her nightgowns.

Qin Yuchuan had no choice but to walk out wrapped in a towel. Feng Qingyi, who had been happily scrolling through videos, suddenly found someone standing in front of her.

Feng Qingyi looked up and saw Qin Yuchuan wrapped in a towel, his upper body completely exposed.

"Why did you come out without properly dressing?!"

Qin Yuchuan held up the nightgown, "Does Qingqing want me to wear a dress?"

Feng Qingyi then realized she must have grabbed the wrong clothes. She snatched the nightgown from Qin Yuchuan's hand.

"If I say it wasn't on purpose, would you believe me?"

Qin Yuchuan asked in return: "What do you think?"

"I really didn't do it on purpose, I accidentally grabbed the wrong one. I'll find another one for you, wait a moment." Feng Qingyi went back to the wardrobe to search for clothes.

Qin Yuchuan followed behind Feng Qingyi, "Are you sure there's anything here I can wear?"

"Well, you haven't come to see me for so long, so I didn't buy new ones for you. Why don't you just make do with the one from earlier?"

Qin Yuchuan's voice sounded near Feng Qingyi's ear, "Make do?"

"When you have time, we'll go shopping together. Just bear with it for tonight, that piece of clothing was very large, you can wear it."

Qin Yuchuan hugged Feng Qingyi from behind, "I don't want to bear with it."

Feng Qingyi turned around, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Kiss me." Qin Yuchuan lowered his head.

Feng Qingyi perfunctorily kissed him on the cheek, "Is this okay?"

"Mm, I'll go to sleep. You go wash up quickly!" Qin Yuchuan released Feng Qingyi.

"Then be good and go to bed, I'll be back soon." Feng Qingyi took the nightgown from earlier and walked into the bathroom.

After finishing her bath, Feng Qingyi found Qin Yuchuan looking at her phone.

Feng Qingyi approached him, "What are you looking at?"

Qin Yuchuan returned the phone to Feng Qingyi, "Nothing, let's sleep."

"Were you pretending to be drunk earlier to trick me?" Feng Qingyi suddenly remembered his behavior earlier, which was completely different from now.

Qin Yuchuan tucked Feng Qingyi into the blanket, "How could I be? I was a bit tipsy earlier, but after taking a shower, I suddenly sobered up."

Feng Qingyi rolled her eyes, "You've become naughty, always teasing me!"

"I'm a bit tired today, let's sleep early," Qin Yuchuan said and closed his eyes.

Feng Qingyi reached out and pried his eyes open, "I'm not sleepy yet, wake up and play with me."

Qin Yuchuan: "I'm tired, don't wear me out today. In the future, you can do whatever you want."

Feng Qingyi sat on the bed, swaying back and forth, "In the future, I can do whatever I want?"

"Mm-hmm," Qin Yuchuan mumbled in response.

Feng Qingyi lay down beside Qin Yuchuan, "You said it yourself, no taking it back. Goodnight, you turn off the lights."

The next morning when the alarm clock rang, Feng Qingyi was about to get up when she found that the person beside her was still there, sleeping quite soundly.

Feng Qingyi poked his face with her finger, "Qin Yuchuan, Qin Yuchuan, wake up, you need to go back to work, get up quickly!"

Qin Yuchuan rolled over and continued sleeping, showing no intention of getting up.

Feng Qingyi continued calling him, "Get up, if you don't get up, I'm leaving."

Qin Yuchuan opened his eyes, "No work today, I'll sleep a bit more."

"Alright!" Feng Qingyi leisurely got dressed and got out of bed, then went downstairs after washing up and applying makeup.

After buying breakfast outside, Qin Yuchuan also got up.

The two had breakfast together in the dining room.

"Take your time eating, I need to go to work now."

Qin Yuchuan also stood up, "I'll go with you."

"You'll go with me?" She was taking a taxi to work, wouldn't he be unable to get back later?

Qin Yuchuan nodded, "Mm-hmm."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get back later, I can go by myself," Feng Qingyi said.

Qin Yuchuan: "I can get back."

"...Fine, fine, you can get back. Let's go then!" It might be more reliable to have the driver take him back after dropping her off.
