Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 227

"It has nothing to do with you. You can't be blamed for his mental issues," said Feng Qingyi.

Qin Yuchuan replied, "Don't be polite with him in the future. I'll take care of it."

"You're not in Shengjing now, so your reach is limited. Besides, it's not a big deal. He doesn't seem very tough. Ling He and I could take on their whole group by ourselves," Feng Qingyi said.

Qin Yuchuan responded, "Don't let yourself get hurt. Tell me if anything happens. Even though I'm not in Shengjing, I have people there."

"So you have hidden forces?" Feng Qingyi asked curiously.

Qin Yuchuan said, "One must have some means of self-protection."

Feng Qingyi looked at their current position. She was sitting entirely on Qin Yuchuan's lap, his arm naturally wrapped around her, with very little distance between them.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi grabbed his hand, "It's nothing. I just think it's wonderful that you're here."

She found herself looking forward to their future life together more and more, even if it just meant quietly being together.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Feng Qingyi instinctively slid off his lap.

"It's probably my brother. Hide for a moment while I see what he wants."

Qin Yuchuan watched as Feng Qingyi opened the door, but made no move to hide.

At the door, Feng Qingyi only poked her head out. "What do you want?"

"I remember I hid my figurine in your room last time. I'm coming in to get it," said Feng Qingci.

Feng Qingyi thought for a moment, "When was this? I don't remember. You didn't sneak into my room, did you?"

"It was recently. You weren't home that day, so I put it in here. You're not sleeping now, so I'll just come in and get it myself," Feng Qingci said, preparing to push the door open.

Feng Qingyi looked back and saw that Qin Yuchuan was still sitting calmly on the sofa, showing no intention of moving.

She gave him a pointed look, but Qin Yuchuan just stared at her blankly.

"What are you looking at? You don't have something to hide in your room, do you?" Feng Qingci asked suspiciously.

Feng Qingyi said, "Tell me where it is, I'll get it. Don't come in. Don't you know about privacy between men and women?"

"You used to go into my room all the time. I never heard you mention privacy then," Feng Qingci said dismissively.

As Feng Qingyi was about to protest further, Feng Qingci had already pushed the door open.

The bedroom door was wide open, and Feng Qingci immediately saw Qin Yuchuan. "I thought you were busy with work. How are you here again?"

"I happened to have some free time," Qin Yuchuan replied.

Feng Qingci rummaged through a side cabinet in Feng Qingyi's bedroom and quickly found the figurine he had hidden.

"I won't disturb you two anymore. Take it easy though. Mom and Dad aren't ready to be grandparents yet, and I don't want a nephew either."

Feng Qingyi glared at him, "What nonsense are you spouting? We're innocent."

"Whether you're innocent or not is none of my business. I'm off to sell my figurine."

Feng Qingci rushed out with his figurine, not even bothering to close the door.

Feng Qingyi had to walk over and close it herself. "Why didn't you hide when I told you to?"

"Does Qingqing think I'm something to be ashamed of?" Qin Yuchuan asked lazily from the sofa.

"That's not what I meant. It's just that my brother will misunderstand," Feng Qingyi explained.

Qin Yuchuan said, "Misunderstand? What's there to misunderstand about our relationship?"

"...While that may be true, we should still be careful. I'm going to take a shower. Just sit here for a bit."

Feng Qingyi opened her wardrobe and found a set of panda pajamas. As she was about to take them, she remembered these were couple pajamas she had bought recently.

She thought the set was cute at the time, and buying the couple set was more economical than buying separately. She bought them thinking they might come in handy later.

She rummaged through the closet again, found the men's set of pajamas, and tossed them to Qin Yuchuan.

"I bought these for you. Aren't they cute?"

Feng Qingyi turned to see Qin Yuchuan with the pajamas covering his head and burst out laughing.

Amidst Feng Qingyi's laughter, Qin Yuchuan pulled the pajamas off his head.

"I thought you'd catch them."

"Are these couple pajamas?" He remembered she had bought similar clothes before.

"Aren't they cute? Don't they look good?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Qin Yuchuan held up the clothes and looked them over. The pajamas had a hood with two black ears on top, and there was a chubby panda in the middle of the shirt. It looked rather odd no matter how he looked at it.

However, seeing Feng Qingyi's expectant gaze, Qin Yuchuan nodded.

Satisfied with his answer, Feng Qingyi bounced into the bathroom in her slippers.

After her shower, Feng Qingyi came out bouncing in her panda pajamas.

She found Qin Yuchuan reading the diary she had left on her bedside table and quickly ran over to try and snatch it back.

Qin Yuchuan stood up. "Am I not allowed to read this?"

"It's my diary. You can't just read it," she said. Although there wasn't anything particularly shameful written in it, it was still embarrassing.

Moreover, this was a five-year diary, with entries starting from high school. This year was the fifth year.

Qin Yuchuan read aloud, "During the flag-raising ceremony this morning, I thought the class president from the next class was quite handsome. At lunch, he sat at the next table and actually bought three portions of food and finished them all by himself. Suddenly, the illusion was shattered."

"If you're going to read it, at least don't read it out loud!" She had almost forgotten she had written such diary entries. It was truly embarrassing to hear them now.

Qin Yuchuan laughed and continued, "The monthly exam results came out. I'm still stable at 18th place, just like last time. Feng Qingci actually got first place. I'm so envious and jealous. I was planning to work harder, but after seeing his score, I think this is fine. After all, if I can't get first place, there's no difference between second and eighteenth."

"...Stop reading!" Was she really that laid-back before?

"I'm very interested in Qingqing's past. Why don't you lend me this diary so I can get to know you better?" Qin Yuchuan suggested.

Feng Qingyi jumped up trying to get her diary back. "I can lend it to you, but you have to give it back to me now!"

"Is Qingqing trying to destroy the evidence?" Qin Yuchuan joked.

Feng Qingyi rolled her eyes at him. "Of course not. I didn't write anything shameful. Go take a shower quickly, we can look at it later."

Qin Yuchuan placed the diary on top of Feng Qingyi's head. "Alright, we'll look at it together later."

As Qin Yuchuan took the pajamas and went into the bathroom, Feng Qingyi quickly took the diary from her head and flipped through it.

Being a five-year diary, there were only a few lines to write for each day, so the content wasn't extensive.
