Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General
Chapter 70: A day without seeing you feels like three months
Chapter 70
"I met her during the summer break, so it's been a while now."
"Don't worry, I won't be fooled. If anyone gets fooled, it'll be me fooling him."
Sometimes she felt that if she wanted to, she could probably trick Qin Yuchuan and become rich.
After all, the bowls and various objects from his family could be considered antiques. If she sold them, she might never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Qu Jingqiu gossiped, "Is it a guy or a girl?"
Shen Hanyue said, "If I had to guess, it's a guy. If it were a girl, what would be worth talking about?"
"Be careful of online security and beware of internet scams," Lou Xi remarked with her usual rationality.
Feng Qingyi said, "I know what you're talking about, and I'll be careful."
After chatting with her friends, Feng Qingyi felt a little relieved, thinking maybe he just had something to take care of.
He was so capable, with guards following him, and his profession was even that of a great general. He shouldn't be that weak.
She was probably just overthinking it. She should just do what she needs to do and wait for his message.
At the General's Mansion, Qin Yuchuan was pacing in the courtyard, occasionally taking out his phone to check it, but it was still updating.
He didn't know when he would be able to contact her again.
What's so great about this phone that it needs updating? Could it really update into something fancy?
He also didn't know what the young lady was doing now. At this time, she should be having her lunch.
Hidden in the shadows, Yan Yang poked Yan Chi, "Yan Chi, what do you think is going on with the General?"
"Logically speaking, since we've found the whereabouts of those people in the southern frontier, shouldn't the General be happy?"
"But why does he seem to be in a bad mood?"
Yan Chi looked at the phone in Qin Yuchuan's hand, "Maybe it has something to do with Miss Qingyi."
"You don't think the General had a fight with Miss Qingyi, do you?" Yan Yang said.
Yan Chi gave him a look, "When have you ever seen the General argue with anyone?"
"You never know! The General keeps looking at that little box of his."
"Maybe he did something that made Miss Qingyi unhappy, so she's ignoring him now."
Yan Yang thought this was the most plausible guess since it seemed like Miss Qingyi was the only one in that little box.
Yan Chi also thought it was possible, "So what do you think we should do to help the General?"
Yan Yang pondered for a moment, "I was thinking, why don't we go to town and buy some storybooks for the General?"
"Bai Wei loves reading those. Maybe they could help the General coax Miss Qingyi."
"Storybooks? Those fabricated stories, are they reliable?" Yan Chi had some doubts.
Yan Yang shook his head, "I'm not sure either, but for now, we can only try whatever we can."
That afternoon, Qin Yuchuan received the storybooks and a small booklet presented by Yan Chi and Yan Yang.
Looking at the books on his desk, Qin Yuchuan asked, "What are these for?"
Yan Yang stepped forward and replied, "General, please take a look. These will definitely help you resolve your current problem."
His current problem was something they probably couldn't solve, so he didn't know what they were up to.
Qin Yuchuan picked up the small booklet, and after a quick glance at the first page, he threw it at Yan Yang's face.
"Are you bored with living?"
Yan Chi and Yan Yang exchanged a look, wondering if there was something wrong with the booklet.
Yan Yang opened the booklet, his face turning red as he sheepishly passed it to Yan Chi. How could it be this kind of thing?
Even if it were a gift, it should be given after the General marries Miss Qingyi, not for him to practice on his own.
"General, please let me explain. He bought it, it has nothing to do with me."
Yan Chi also took a look, quickly closing it, "General, please let me explain. The bookseller gave us this booklet for free..."
"Get out!" Qin Yuchuan's face darkened.
These two must be too idle, so it seemed he needed to assign them more tasks.
Yan Yang pulled Yan Chi out of the study.
"How did something like this end up in there?"
Yan Chi: "The bookseller gave it to us."
"What if the General thinks we're unscrupulous for giving him a book like this?" Yan Yang said.
Yan Chi: "If I'm not mistaken, this was your idea."
"It was my idea, but you bought the books. Didn't you check them first?"
This couldn't be blamed on him.
Yan Chi looked at the book in his hand, unsure of how to deal with it.
In the end, he shoved it into Yan Yang's hands and ran off.
Yan Yang looked at the hot potato of a book, specifically finding a secluded spot to burn it.
Just then, Bai Wei spotted the sneaky Yan Yang and patted him from behind.
"Yan Yang, what are you doing here?"
Yan Yang stood up, "Nothing... nothing."
Bai Wei noticed the little booklet that Yan Yang was trying to hide in his embrace.
"What's that? Is it a new storybook? Let me see!"
Yan Yang hesitated, "It's not a storybook. You'd better not look. If you want to read, I'll buy you one another day."
Seeing Yan Yang guarding it tightly, Bai Wei guessed it must be something good, so she snatched it from his embrace.
Yan Yang could have protected it, but he was worried about hurting Bai Wei, so he didn't use much force.
"Bai Wei, don't look at it, it's..."
Before Yan Yang could finish, Bai Wei had already opened it.
After just a glance, Bai Wei's face instantly turned red, and she quickly threw the booklet back at Yan Yang.
"You pervert!"
As Bai Wei backed away, Yan Yang loudly explained, "Bai Wei, Yan Chi bought this, it has nothing to do with me."
"I don't believe you, I don't believe you." Bai Wei covered her ears and ran off.
She had misjudged him. How could he look at such illustrations in broad daylight?
Yan Yang picked up the booklet and angrily burned it, blaming Yan Chi for making Bai Wei think he was a scoundrel.
He really couldn't explain the situation, but he would go and clear it up with her another day.
Qin Yuchuan was unaware of what was happening outside.
Looking at the stack of cheap booklets left by Yan Yang and Yan Chi on his desk, Qin Yuchuan flipped through a few of them.
What were these? Poor scholars and rich ladies in secret affairs, fallen scholars and fox spirits in a love-hate entanglement...
Qin Yuchuan was truly enlightened. This was his first time seeing these folk storybooks, and he never expected such things to thrive in Shengjing.
What were Yan Chi and Yan Yang trying to accomplish by giving him these? Did they want him to imitate them?
Qin Yuchuan placed those books with disdain at the farthest corner of the bookshelf.
Compared to those longwinded romantic novels, he felt that perhaps the books she had given him were more suitable.
Although there was much content in those books that he did not understand, they were still more credible than these romantic novels.
He did not know how many days it would take for this phone to update, but a single day without seeing her felt like three long months to him.
