Chapter 235
[Feng Qingyi: I understand. Keep an eye on things at home and don't let her mess with my stuff.]
[Feng Qingci: Alright, I got it.]
After the morning classes finished, Feng Qingyi packed two meals and returned to the villa.
Feng Qingci and Nan Yue were sitting on the sofa playing with their phones. Feng Qingyi handed one of the meals to Feng Qingci, "Let's go to the dining room to have lunch!"
Feng Qingci took the food, "Let's go!"
Nan Yue: "What about mine?"
"What do you mean 'yours'? How was I supposed to know you'd be here? If you want to eat, go buy your own. We don't owe you anything!" Feng Qingyi carried her food to the dining room.
Feng Qingci followed her, while Nan Yue took out her phone to order takeout, "You want to drive me away? It won't be that easy."
In the dining room, Feng Qingci looked at Feng Qingyi sitting across from him, "What should we do now?"
"Once someone loses all sense of shame, there's no telling what they might do. We have two options now: either make her so uncomfortable that she leaves on her own, or we throw her out together. Which do you prefer?" Feng Qingyi asked.
Feng Qingci: "I'll go back to my dorm for the next few days. I have bedding there. I'll leave her to you."
"...No way, I don't agree!" She didn't want to face such an annoying person alone.
Feng Qingci: "I don't want to either, but as a man, it's not appropriate for me to do anything to her. I'll leave soon, so she'll be your responsibility."
"If you dare move back to the dorm, don't even think about moving back here!"
After lunch, Feng Qingyi returned to her room and put all her valuables in the safe, then locked all the rooms upstairs.
Because of past experiences, she didn't trust leaving Nan Yue alone here. She was worried that when she came back in the evening, all her things would be ruined.
After doing this, she and Feng Qingci left together, ignoring Nan Yue who was eating takeout in the living room.
Just an afternoon later, when Feng Qingyi returned to the villa, she almost thought she had entered the wrong house.
The floor was covered with fruit peels and scraps of paper. The coffee table was filled with all kinds of snacks and drinks, several of which had clearly been taken from the refrigerator.
The living room reeked of a strong spicy smell. Unfinished takeout boxes were left directly on the table. Plastic packaging was strewn across the sofa, coffee table, and floor. It was a complete mess.
"Nan Yue, please clean this place up, or I'll throw you out immediately!"
"This isn't my house. Why should I clean it?" Nan Yue said, not moving an inch as she played with her phone.
Feng Qingyi snatched the phone from Nan Yue's hand, "Since you're unwilling, don't blame me for what happens next."
Nan Yue leaned back on the sofa, completely motionless. "What can you do to me? Hurry up and give me back my phone. If you damage it, you'll have to pay for it in full!"
Feng Qingyi grabbed her by the collar and started dragging her towards the door.
Just as they reached the doorway, the doorbell rang. Feng Qingyi opened the door to see Lou Xi holding a bag.
Lou Xi looked at Feng Qingyi's actions, "Qingyi, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, help me throw her out!"
Lou Xi said, "Qingyi, isn't she your cousin?"
"She's just a cousin, not someone important. Besides, she's not welcome here," Feng Qingyi said.
Nan Yue: "Feng Qingyi, do you want me to tell my parents that you kicked me out?"
"What do your parents have to do with me? This is my house, and I have the right to not let you stay. Get out!"
Feng Qingyi pulled Lou Xi into the room and quickly closed the door.
Lou Xi looked at the state of the living room, "Qingyi, what's going on here?"
"The handiwork of our recent guest."
Lou Xi handed the bag to Feng Qingyi, "These are the clothes you lent me the other day. I came to return them. Let me help you clean up the living room."
Feng Qingyi took out her phone and messaged Feng Qingci.
[Qingyi: Are you asleep?]
[Feng Qingci: Wide awake!!!]
[Qingyi: This is so annoying. It's already 1 AM, can't we get any sleep?]
[Feng Qingci: I'm going back to the dorm to sleep tomorrow night. Why don't you find a hotel?]
[Qingyi: We'll see tomorrow.]
[Feng Qingci: For tonight, just use headphones to get by.]
[Qingyi: Okay.]
As Feng Qingyi was about to look for her headphones, she noticed a message from Qin Yuchuan.
Ever since she had asked him to send her daily messages to report his safety, he had been briefly updating her on his schedule every night.
[Yuchuan: Had a meeting with military personnel today. Got back late. All is well.]
[Qingyi: Mm.]
[Yuchuan: It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?]
Qin Yuchuan had gotten used to sending her messages daily. If he sent them early, they would chat a bit on WeChat.
If it was too late, she would reply the next morning. It seemed unusual for her to still be awake at this hour.
[Qingyi: I was woken up by noise.]
[Yuchuan: What happened?]
[Feng Qingyi: Remember that super annoying cousin I told you about? She's here now, staying right next door. I don't know what's gotten into her, but she's singing in the hallway in the middle of the night. It sounds like ghosts wailing and wolves howling. I was woken up by the noise.]
[Feng Qingyi: I told her to stop singing, but she wouldn't listen. I wish I hadn't followed my mom's advice. I shouldn't have let her stay here.]
[Qin Yuchuan: Then come over.]
[Feng Qingyi: ?]
[Qin Yuchuan: You have class tomorrow. Come rest at my place.]
[Feng Qingyi: Okay.]
Feng Qingyi arrived at Qin Yuchuan's tent, bringing her blanket with her. Inside the tent, there was only a faint candlelight.
Qin Yuchuan carried Feng Qingyi to the bed. "Go to sleep!"
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Feng Qingyi asked, noticing that he didn't seem to be planning to sleep.
"I still have some matters to attend to. You sleep first. It's colder here, so make sure you're well covered to avoid catching a chill." Qin Yuchuan tucked Feng Qingyi in.
Feng Qingyi: "But it's already very late..."
"Just sleep. I'll be back soon. There are soldiers standing guard outside, so don't worry."
Feng Qingyi nodded and obediently closed her eyes. Qin Yuchuan extinguished the candle and left the tent.
Having just been woken up earlier, Feng Qingyi now found herself unable to sleep. She lay under the covers, waiting for Qin Yuchuan to return.
This wait lasted for an hour before Qin Yuchuan finally came back to the tent.
Feeling the cold air next to her, Feng Qingyi moved a bit closer.
"Did I wake you?"
Feng Qingyi shook her head. "No, I couldn't sleep. Why are you back so late? It's almost dawn."
"Things will get better once we get through this busy period. I'll sleep with you now." Qin Yuchuan held Feng Qingyi in his arms.
Whether it was because she had grown accustomed to Qin Yuchuan's scent or because his embrace was so warm, Feng Qingyi gradually drifted off to sleep.
