Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 34

Finally, Friday came. After finishing the morning class, ending the week's courses, Feng Qingyi returned to the dormitory with her and her roommate's books.

Every Friday, Lou Xi and Qu Jingqiu would go home, as they both lived in the Capital City and it was convenient for them to return.

Shen Hanyue would also go to her aunt's house, leaving Feng Qingyi alone in the dormitory.

This way, she didn't need to go to that deserted little forest on campus for classes every day.

Taking out her phone, Feng Qingyi saw the message from Qin Yuchuan, along with the item waiting to be received.

These days, every noon Feng Qingyi would receive food sent by Qin Yuchuan.

It started with ginger candies, then longjing tea cookies, snow flake pastries, and perhaps fearing that she might get thirsty after eating them, he would also include a cup of tea.

To be more discreet, Feng Qingyi bought a small box, asking him to put the pastries in it so she could take it to eat in the afternoon.

As for the tea, she directly gave Qin Yuchuan a thermos, asking him to put it in there.

Feng Qingyi felt that there was probably no one more shameless in this world than herself.

[Qingyi: What have you prepared for me today?]

[Yuchuan: Sugar figurines bought on the street, worthless.]

Recently, whenever Qin Yuchuan sent her something, he would add the words "worthless." Feng Qingyi had gotten used to it, as if there was nothing valuable in his eyes.

[Qingyi: You've really been working hard for me these days. You really don't need to send me food every day. As I told you before, I really don't lack food or clothing at school.]

[Yuchuan: Not a hassle.]

[Qingyi: Is there anything you like? I'm planning to go out for a stroll now that I'm on vacation.]

She was still thinking about giving him a gift in return. Qin Yuchuan felt a bit helpless.

[Yuchuan: I don't lack anything either, Qingyi doesn't need to spend money.]

This wasn't really about spending money or not. She had gotten so many of his pearls and jewelry for free, which could fetch several million if sold.

And she was eating the pastries he made every day. If she didn't give him a gift in return, wouldn't that be inappropriate?

[Qingyi: I know you don't lack anything, I'm asking if there's anything you like?]

[Yuchuan: Weapons.]

[Qingyi: ...Forget I asked.]

Weapons and such, she was truly incapable of getting any. She couldn't just buy a fake one.

[Yuchuan: So, don't think too much about it. The things I send you are all the most ordinary things for me.]

[Yuchuan: Before, at the military camp, you cooked for me every day. Now I'm making food for you, what's wrong with that?]

[Qingyi: But before...]

She had only cooked for him to earn points, to take advantage of him.

He was being sincere towards her, while she was only using him...

[Yuchuan: What about before?]

[Qingyi: I was actually only using you to achieve my goal.]

This had been going on for a while, so she might as well just say it outright.

If he got angry, they could break it off.

Although she really wanted the things from the Mysterious Shop, she wouldn't be unable to live without them.

Those courses and such, if she wanted to learn, she could enroll in classes. As for the house, she could earn money to buy one in the future.

And for the Insightful Pill, although she couldn't achieve photographic memory, she could still learn and memorize things by reading and reciting more.

The Mysterious Shop was not a necessity for her.

But he was being sincere towards her, and she couldn't continue like this.

Feng Qingyi saw that Qin Yuchuan hadn't replied for a long time, assuming he was angry and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Although she said they could break it off if needed, she still felt a bit disappointed.

After all, the two of them had been chatting for so many days. Even if he was truly angry and didn't want to talk to her anymore, he should at least let her know!

When Qin Yuchuan saw Feng Qingyi's message about using him, he was a bit confused, since they weren't in the same world. How could she use him?

He had to have a proper chat with her when he got back.

In the Tianqi Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

Xuanyuan Sheng sat on the dragon throne, "Yuchuan, do you know why I summoned you today?"

Qin Yuchuan: "This subject does not know."

Xuanyuan Sheng smiled and said, "Yuchuan, what do you think of the scenery in Shengjing?"

"It is certainly prosperous."

Xuanyuan Sheng gazed at Qin Yuchuan thoughtfully.

"Your aunt only has you as her son. She must want you to stay in Shengjing."

"You are also at the age to take a wife. The Ministry of Officials came and asked me to bestow a marriage, saying his family's daughter admires you. What does Yuchuan think?"

Qin Yuchuan knew Xuanyuan Sheng was probing him. The daughter of the Ministry of Officials was already engaged. Whether he agreed or not made no difference to him.

"Your Majesty, this subject has no intention of marrying for the time being. The Ministry of Officials' daughter has honored me too much. I cannot accept."

Xuanyuan Sheng continued, "No intention of marrying for now, your aunt must be anxious."

"This subject has already discussed this with my mother, and she has agreed."

Qin Yuchuan's expression was calm, and Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he let it go.

Today, he had only summoned Qin Yuchuan to probe him after hearing that his aunt was trying to arrange his marriage.

Since military power was in his hands, and the south was unsettled, he couldn't take it back now.

"If that's the case, then as you say, if you find a woman you fancy in the future, you may come and ask me to bestow a marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! If there is nothing else, this subject shall take his leave." Qin Yuchuan bowed to Xuanyuan Sheng.

Xuanyuan Sheng waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

...

Sitting in the dormitory, Feng Qingyi would occasionally take out her phone to check if Qin Yuchuan had sent a message, but there was none.

Feng Qingyi thought about it and decided to receive the sugar figurines he sent. This might be the last gift he would send her.

She tasted the sugar figurines, and the flavor was quite authentic.

After finishing the sugar figurines, Feng Qingyi was about to open the martial arts course when she received a video call from Qin Yuchuan.

He wouldn't be calling to scold her while looking at her face, would he?

To answer or not, that was the question.

She decided to answer. They would have to face it sooner or later.

Feng Qingyi answered the video call. Qin Yuchuan was dressed rather formally today, as if in court attire.

As Feng Qingyi looked at Qin Yuchuan, he was also looking at her.

Today, she was wearing a white peter pan collar shirt with little rabbit earrings, looking quite docile.

Feng Qingyi saw that Qin Yuchuan wasn't speaking, so she wanted to open her mouth, but after thinking about it, she remained silent.

Qin Yuchuan saw that Feng Qingyi wanted to say something but hesitated, "Why aren't you talking?"

"I'm sorry." Feng Qingyi decided to apologize first, as it was indeed her fault.

Qin Yuchuan: "What's the point of apologizing without explaining everything clearly?"

"I didn't tell you before, but this phone of mine is a bit strange. My previous phone was broken by my brother, so he bought me this one."

"While this phone is similar to the ones we normally use, it has some additional features."

"There's a mysterious store inside where I can purchase items, but I need credits to make purchases, and I earn credits by chatting with you."

Feng Qingyi's voice grew softer and softer...
