Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 202

After touring around with Xu Linghe, Feng Qingyi agreed on a time for their next meeting before they parted ways.

When Feng Qingyi returned to the Tea House, she found Qian Jue sitting inside, slowly drinking from a bottle of wine he had procured from somewhere.

"How did you get in?" she asked, remembering that she had just unlocked the door, which had been locked.

Qian Jue took a sip of wine, "Well, this used to be my Tea House. It's not difficult for me to enter!"

"Fine! But what are you doing here?" Feng Qingyi inquired.

Qian Jue replied, "You have good taste. The things you've chosen suit this place well. But remember not to put anything too avant-garde here. It could be disadvantageous for you."

"I understand, thank you," Feng Qingyi responded.

Qian Jue continued, "You saw that young master Shangguan on the street earlier, didn't you?"

"...How did you know?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Qian Jue smiled, "How could I not know about my own doings?"

"What did he do to offend you that made you beat him up like that?" Feng Qingyi asked, puzzled.

Qian Jue looked at Feng Qingyi with disdain, "He was planning to harm you. I overheard it by chance, so I gave you a hand. If it weren't for me, you would have been the one beaten up."

"...But I didn't do anything to offend him. Why would he want to harm me?"

Qian Jue continued drinking, "How would I know? Girl, stay away from him in the future. Avoid him if you see him. I can't always be there to help you out of trouble."

Feng Qingyi pressed, "Be honest with me. First, you give me jade, then a Tea House, and now you've beaten up Shangguan Yi. What are you after?"

Qian Jue replied, "I told you last time, we're both strangers here. What's wrong with looking out for each other?"

"Do you think I believe that? Tell me the truth, what are you really after?"

Feng Qingyi disliked feeling kept in the dark and didn't want to accept kindness without reason, fearing she might not be able to repay it in the future.

Seeing Feng Qingyi's expression, Qian Jue said, "Actually, there's no harm in telling you. Guang'an sent me to protect you."

"Guang'an? The one from Guanyuan Temple?" She had heard this name more than once. Who exactly was he?

Qian Jue: "Who else but him? I happened to be bored these days, so I agreed to his request."

"Do you know why he wants you to protect me?" Feng Qingyi continued to ask.

Qian Jue shook his head, "I'm not sure about that. He's always so mysterious. Who knows what he means?"

"Can you take me to see him?"

Feng Qingyi lay on the bed holding her phone, "I just went to clean up the Tea House and did some decorating. I'm planning to open for business next weekend."

"Mm, Qingqing is so capable and amazing!"

Feng Qingyi smiled, "So, do you have anything to show for it?"

"Oh, what do you want?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi pouted, "Don't you have anything you want to give me? You're actually asking me?"

Qin Yuchuan looked around. There didn't seem to be anything here he could give her.

Feng Qingyi looked into his eyes, "You couldn't find anything to give me, could you?"

"Indeed, I couldn't."

Just as Qin Yuchuan finished speaking, he noticed an item waiting to be received on his phone.

He tapped on it, and a pink pillow appeared.

"Qingqing, what's this about?"

Feng Qingyi said, "Since you don't have anything to give me, I'll have to give you something instead."

Qin Yuchuan chuckled, "Sending me a pillow... do you want me to fall asleep every night with your scent?"

Feng Qingyi turned to smell her own pillow, "This just smells like laundry detergent. It doesn't have my scent at all."

Qin Yuchuan placed the pillow at the head of his bed. Although the soft pink color clashed with his bedding, he liked it very much.

Through the screen, Feng Qingyi saw Qin Yuchuan's bed. She had slept on it before; it was hard as a rock.

"Your bed isn't comfortable at all. Should I send you a couple of quilts?"

Qin Yuchuan refused, "No need. We're all treated equally in the military. No exceptions."

Feng Qingyi whispered, "Can't you just use them secretly?"

"...No, I can't."

Feng Qingyi pursed her lips, "If you insist on being treated equally, then give me back the pillow!"

"...Now that it's been given to me, it's mine. How can there be any reason to take it back?" Qin Yuchuan said.

Feng Qingyi laughed, "Then what happened to being treated equally?"

"This is different," Qin Yuchuan said softly.
