Chapter 148
"There\'s really nothing between Song Jingyuan and me. He just gave me a ride today. Don\'t misunderstand. I didn\'t mean to hide it from you, I was just afraid you might overthink it."
She felt that they should be honest with each other in their relationship. She should explain things clearly to him. She didn\'t want any misunderstandings between them.
Qin Yuchuan patted Feng Qingyi\'s head, "I know. I\'m just angry at myself for not being able to accompany you properly, leaving you to carry such heavy things alone."
"You have your own responsibilities, and they\'re important matters of state. I understand."
Looking at the obedient girl in front of him, Qin Yuchuan held her hand, "Having you as my companion in this life is my greatest fortune."
"I can\'t be by your side like others can. These days I haven\'t even had time to check your messages. Have you been upset with me?"
Although she could understand his situation, she couldn\'t deny occasionally envying other couples who could be together.
Over the past month, she had thought about many things. When her messages went unanswered, she considered not sending any more.
But then she consoled herself, believing he wasn\'t unwilling to reply, just too busy. She should understand him.
Once he finished fighting in the war, they should be able to spend time together like a normal couple.
She was still young, and it was a time when she should be working hard too. Using this period to enrich herself was also a very meaningful thing to do.
Life shouldn\'t always revolve around romance. With a broader perspective, everything would be different.
"Of course I\'ve been upset, but since I chose you, I should accept these things. You\'re a great general serving the country and the people, the kind of person I\'ve always admired."
"I can\'t help you much, all I can do is live well and ensure you don\'t have to worry about me."
Qin Yuchuan wrapped his arm around Feng Qingyi\'s waist, "Qingqing, thank you."
How fortunate he was to have such a sensible and understanding girl.
Looking at the shining eyes of the girl in his arms, Qin Yuchuan leaned down and captured her lips.
This kiss was unlike the previous gentle ones, filled with a strong sense of possession, like an impending storm, giving her no chance to resist.
After the kiss, Qin Yuchuan looked at Feng Qingyi\'s blushing face and chuckled, "Qingqing, you\'re so adorable."
"...It\'s already late. I\'m going to bed. What about you?"
Feng Qingyi escaped from his embrace and stood up, preparing to head to the bedroom.
Qin Yuchuan: "Then I\'ll accompany Qingqing to sleep."
"...Suit yourself!" After all, she wasn\'t feeling well, so she wasn\'t worried about him doing anything to her.
Feng Qingyi quickly finished her bedtime routine and lay down on the bed, while Qin Yuchuan went to take a shower.
After his shower, he wore a bathrobe, his long hair still wet. Worried he might catch a cold, Feng Qingyi got up and found a hair dryer for him.
Seeing him looking at the hair dryer in confusion, Feng Qingyi sighed and decided to help him dry his hair.
Qin Yuchuan\'s hair was longer than hers and of good quality. Because he had used her shampoo, it gave off a faint floral scent.
Qin Yuchuan sat on the dressing stool, watching in the mirror as the girl carefully dried his hair. He began to enjoy this moment.
"Your hair is so long, and you don\'t even lose any! I\'m really envious!"
"What do you usually wash your hair with? How do you take care of it?"
Feng Qingyi chatted as she helped dry Qin Yuchuan\'s hair, truly envious of his beautiful long locks.
Qin Yuchuan: "There\'s nothing special to use in the military camp."
"Then you must be naturally blessed."
Because Qin Yuchuan\'s hair was thick and long, it took quite a while to dry it completely.
After drying, Feng Qingyi casually took some hair oil from the dressing table and applied it, instantly filling the room with a fragrant scent.
Qin Yuchuan curiously asked, "What did you put on my hair?"
"Just some hair oil."
She suddenly remembered that men might not like this kind of fragrance, which was quite strong.
"Hmm, it\'s late. Let\'s rest."
After putting away the hair dryer, Feng Qingyi lay back down on the bed.
Compared to the bed at home, this one was wider and larger, and Feng Qingyi wasn\'t as awkward as the first time.
"Ayuchuan, I\'m turning off the lights."
"Mm."
After Feng Qingyi turned off the lights, she rested her head on the soft pillow and slowly closed her eyes.
Qin Yuchuan, lying next to her, looked at the space between them that could fit two more people, and felt a bit helpless. Why was this bed so big?
He moved towards the middle and casually pulled Feng Qingyi into his arms.
Feng Qingyi felt he was holding her too tightly and pushed him away slightly.
"Be good, sleep."
Feng Qingyi, resting her head on Qin Yuchuan\'s arm and inhaling his scent, snuggled closer to him.
Feeling her movement, Qin Yuchuan spoke up.
"Aren\'t you worried about what I might do to you today?"
On other days, she would keep her distance, but today she seemed different.
"Would you?" Feng Qingyi asked in return.
Qin Yuchuan turned on his side, pinning Feng Qingyi beneath him, "What do you think?"
Feng Qingyi didn\'t push him away, "...Girls have a few days each month, I think in ancient times you called it \'moon time\', so even if you wanted to do something today, you couldn\'t."
Hearing Feng Qingyi\'s words, Qin Yuchuan\'s face reddened, a rare occurrence.
How could a girl speak so openly about such matters with him?
"So you\'re feeling invincible?"
Feng Qingyi laughed, "Yes, I am. Don\'t press on me, I\'m uncomfortable."
Qin Yuchuan rolled back, resuming their previous position.
Feng Qingyi suddenly thought of something, "But what if you don\'t wake up when it\'s time? Would you be transported back dressed like this?"
"If Yan Yang and the others see you like this, they\'ll definitely get the wrong idea."
Qin Yuchuan: "Wasn\'t it you who said we should sleep? Now you keep talking. Aren\'t you tired?"
"My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I can\'t sleep," Feng Qingyi said softly.
Qin Yuchuan asked worriedly, "Does it hurt a lot? I\'ll take you to see a doctor."
Feng Qingyi shook her head, "No need, it\'s just a bit uncomfortable. It\'s normal."
"Let me warm you up," Qin Yuchuan said as he placed his hand on Feng Qingyi\'s lower abdomen, the fabric of her nightgown between them.
Feng Qingyi wasn\'t sure what he was doing, but she felt a growing warmth spreading across her belly.
The mild pain she had been experiencing gradually dissipated, replaced by a soothing, all-encompassing warmth throughout her body.
Drowsiness overcame her, and she drifted off to sleep in Qin Yuchuan\'s embrace.
Once he was certain she was asleep, Qin Yuchuan withdrew his hand and settled down beside her, holding her close as he too succumbed to slumber.
