If she had met him in high school, she probably wouldn't have accepted him either. After all, she was something of a good girl, and early romance wasn't something that would have happened to her.
Moreover, at that time, she was busy studying every day, yet her grades still couldn't match those of Feng Qingci, who played games all the time.
Although her parents didn't have any expectations for her grades, and no one would gossip about it, she felt quite uncomfortable about it herself.
At first, she went through a period of depression, feeling that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up to him, so she might as well give up.
But in the end, she didn't dare to give up on herself, and later, through her own efforts, she managed to be on par with Feng Qingci.
Although most of the time he still ranked ahead of her, her progress was evident to all.
At that time, she had no time to pay attention to other things, let alone fall in love with a general from another world.
Qin Yuchuan noticed that Feng Qingyi hadn't spoken for a while, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, don't look at my diary anymore. Let me show you something nice."
Feng Qingyi moved aside a bit and took out a photo album from the drawer of the bedside table.
Qin Yuchuan took the album, "What's this?"
"This is my photo album, let's look at it together." Feng Qingyi opened the album.
Qin Yuchuan was very interested in this album, "Are these you when you were little?"
Feng Qingyi nodded, "This one was taken when I just started kindergarten. My dad said that when I was in kindergarten, I didn't want to go every day. I would cry at the kindergarten gate, holding onto his leg and refusing to let go. Every time, it was my brother who dragged me in."
"This one is very cute," Qin Yuchuan pointed to a photo of Feng Qingyi crying.
Feng Qingyi quickly covered that photo with her hand, "Don't look at this one, it's a bit ugly."
"It's very cute." Is this what a daughter would look like in the future?
Feng Qingyi quickly turned the page, "Let's look at the back, these are some artistic photos, aren't they nice?"
Qin Yuchuan nodded, "Mm-hmm."
Feng Qingyi flipped through the album, introducing each photo and when it was taken.
After going through the entire album, Qin Yuchuan spoke up, "May I have one?"
Feng Qingyi handed him the album, "You can choose whichever one you want."
Qin Yuchuan finally chose an artistic photo of Feng Qingyi. In it, she was wearing a pink short dress, with a pink and white flower crown on her head, and holding a flower basket.
Feng Qingyi hadn't expected him to like this fresh and innocent style, "Are you sure you want this one? Don't you want to choose again?"
Qin Yuchuan nodded, "This one is very good."
"Alright then!" Feng Qingyi took out the photo he had chosen from the album and handed it to Qin Yuchuan.
Qin Yuchuan took it and placed the photo on the bedside table.
He was still holding her diary, seemingly preparing to read it.
Feng Qingyi stopped him, "If you want to read it, you can take it back with you. Now, I should go to sleep."
Hearing this, Qin Yuchuan put the diary on top of the photo and pulled Feng Qingyi into his arms.
"Then let's sleep."
Feng Qingyi tugged at his arm, "But I'm not sleepy yet."
"Do you want me to lull you to sleep?" Qin Yuchuan raised an eyebrow.
Feng Qingyi remembered the scene of him reciting books last time, "How do you plan to lull me to sleep?"
Qin Yuchuan turned to his side, one arm propped on the bed beside Feng Qingyi's waist, the other hand grasping her chin.
His warm breath fell on Feng Qingyi's face. At such a close distance, she could clearly see his fine eyelashes.
His eyes were extremely beautiful, and when he looked at her, they were full of tenderness. Feng Qingyi felt as if she had been bewitched by him, her heart racing and her face flushing.
Then Qin Yuchuan forcefully kissed her lips, the hand that was holding her chin now caressing her cheek.
The thick calluses on his hand made Feng Qingyi feel a bit uncomfortable. She reached out to try and remove his hand from her face, but in this position, she couldn't muster any strength.
His kiss gradually changed from forceful to gentle. Feeling that the girl beneath him was about to run out of breath, he slowly released her.
Looking at the girl gazing at him with misty eyes, Qin Yuchuan felt his whole body heating up, wanting to devour her completely.
Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to marry her yet, and he was already overstepping his bounds.
"Is this a good way to lull you to sleep?"
Feng Qingyi blushed, "...Don't do this!"
Qin Yuchuan got up and tucked Feng Qingyi in, "Sleep now!"
"What about you?" Feng Qingyi looked at him.
Qin Yuchuan: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"...Oh!"
Feng Qingyi lay in bed listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom. She pulled the blanket up a bit higher, thinking that in the future, she shouldn't call him over at night anymore. It wasn't quite proper.
Soon, Qin Yuchuan came out of the bathroom and lay down beside Feng Qingyi, though this time he deliberately kept a little distance from her.
Feng Qingyi lay on her side facing him, "Why are you so far away from me?"
"What do you think?" Qin Yuchuan asked in return.
Feng Qingyi: "...How should I know?"
In the end, Qin Yuchuan still held Feng Qingyi in his arms, "Don't move around, just sleep obediently!"
"Oh." Feng Qingyi responded.
Qin Yuchuan turned off the bedroom light and closed his eyes.
Although Feng Qingyi wasn't sleepy yet, listening to Qin Yuchuan's breathing, she slowly drifted off to dreamland.
The next day, at around four o'clock, Feng Qingyi vaguely heard some noise and rolled over.
To prevent her from rolling off the bed, Qin Yuchuan pulled her towards the center of the bed and tucked her in again.
"...Ah Yu, what are you doing?" Feng Qingyi mumbled, half asleep.
Qin Yuchuan said, "I have to go now. It's still early, you should sleep more."
"...Oh, then remember to think of me," Feng Qingyi instructed.
Qin Yuchuan agreed, "Alright."
Feng Qingyi: "And don't like anyone else."
"Mm, I only like you."
"Then you can go now."
After saying this, Feng Qingyi continued sleeping, completely unaware of what she had just said.
Qin Yuchuan took the diary and photo from the bedside table and quickly disappeared from the bedroom.
At four in the morning in the military camp, the soldiers had already begun a new round of training. Even though they were now stationed at the frontier, their daily training continued as usual.
Qin Yuchuan placed the photo and diary he had brought back on the desk and began to inspect the troops.
Yan Chi rushed over hurriedly, "General, news about Rong Sheng has arrived. It's said that he appeared in Ying City at the midnight hour yesterday."
"Ying City, is this information reliable?" Qin Yuchuan asked.
Yan Chi: "It's absolutely true."
"Midnight last night, just a few hours ago. Have our men pay extra attention to the carriages and horses heading towards Nanwu City," Qin Yuchuan instructed.
Yan Chi acknowledged, "I understand, sir."
"Go and ask Generals Liu and Li to come to my tent," Qin Yuchuan said.
