Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 256



In the middle of the night, Feng Qingyi, half-asleep, sensed someone beside her. Startled, she quickly rolled off the bed, accidentally hitting her head and letting out a painful cry.

The person next to her heard the commotion and turned on the light. "Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"Why is it you? When did you get here?" Feng Qingyi asked, holding her forehead.

Qin Yuchuan walked over to Feng Qingyi and crouched down. "Who else would it be? Are you holding your forehead because you hit it?"

Feng Qingyi removed her hand from her forehead and glared at him. "It's all your fault!"

Qin Yuchuan gently rubbed her forehead. "Does it hurt?"

Feng Qingyi retorted, "Why don't you hit your head and see if it hurts!"

Qin Yuchuan picked up Feng Qingyi and placed her on the bed. Noticing a small bump on her head, he said, "Lie down here for a bit. I'll get some hot water to apply a compress."

Feng Qingyi lay on the bed as Qin Yuchuan quickly returned with a hot towel and helped her apply it.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked.

Feng Qingyi looked at him. "It's a bit better. Don't sneak in here in the middle of the night again. It's terrifying!"

"But what if I want to see you?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi thought for a moment. "Then come see me during the day."

"But I don't have much time during the day," Qin Yuchuan replied.

Feng Qingyi looked at him. "Then at least give me a heads up. Don't you think it's scary to wake up suddenly and find someone next to you in the middle of the night?"

"Alright, I understand," Qin Yuchuan said softly.

Feng Qingyi looked at Qin Yuchuan sitting on the edge of the bed. "Stop staring at me like that and go to sleep!"

Qin Yuchuan glanced at the towel on her head. "We should keep the compress on a bit longer."

"It's fine. Come up here and rest," Feng Qingyi said, moving over to make room for him.

Qin Yuchuan adjusted the towel on Feng Qingyi's head. "Okay."

"What made you decide to come find me in the middle of the night?" she asked. It was the first time he had visited so late.

Qin Yuchuan replied, "I was worried about you."

"Worried about what? It's not like I'm in any danger here," Feng Qingyi said, playing with one of his hands.

Qin Yuchuan thought about yesterday's events. "I was worried you might disappear again like yesterday."

Feng Qingyi explained, "Yesterday was just an accident. We were only looking for the space stone. Although Qian Jue doesn't seem very reliable, he's actually quite capable. And Ling He's martial arts skills are good too, otherwise I wouldn't have gone with them."

"Besides, if the space stone fell into someone else's hands, it might end up with me like what happened with Xuanyuan Yan before. That would be dangerous."

Qin Yuchuan pulled Feng Qingyi into his arms. "So where is the space stone now?"

"Qian Jue took it. He said he'd take it back to Guang'an and that he'd handle it properly," Feng Qingyi replied.

Qin Yuchuan pondered for a moment. "The space stone has the same function as our phones. Does that mean our phones also contain space stones?"

"I think so. After all, some of the phone's functions couldn't be developed even decades from now."

"Let's not think too much about it. It's time to sleep," Qin Yuchuan said, pulling the blanket up for Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi tugged it back down. "It's the height of summer. I'll be too hot if it's covered so tightly."

Qin Yuchuan argued, "The air conditioning is set so low, you'll catch a cold if you don't cover up properly."

"I won't. I have a strong constitution," Feng Qingyi insisted.

Qin Yuchuan picked up the air conditioner remote and raised the temperature by a few degrees. "Go to sleep."

Unsatisfied with the new temperature, Feng Qingyi tried to change it back but found that Qin Yuchuan had placed the remote out of reach. "Change it back!"

Qin Yuchuan held her down on the bed. "Be good and go to sleep."

"But I'm hot! Please, just lower it by one degree, okay?" Feng Qingyi pleaded.

Qin Yuchuan looked at the air conditioner display showing 20 degrees. "Is it really that hot?"

Feng Qingyi nodded. "Yes, I suspect the air conditioner in this room doesn't work properly. I can't feel any difference at 20 degrees."

Qin Yuchuan said, "But I'm cold."

Feng Qingyi thought for a moment. "How about I give you most of my blanket and find another one for you?"

"No," Qin Yuchuan refused.

Feng Qingyi pouted. "Then what do you want?"

"Just sleep properly like this. Are you going to class tomorrow?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi replied, "No, we're approaching final exams. We don't have classes for the whole week."

"So you don't have class and you're going to bother me instead?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi rubbed his face. "Not at all. You're the one who woke me up and made me hit my head. And now you're blaming me!"

Qin Yuchuan removed her mischievous hand. "Behave yourself. If you don't plan on sleeping tonight, I'm happy to keep you company."

"Then turn off the light and go to sleep," Feng Qingyi said, turning her back to him and closing her eyes.

Qin Yuchuan turned off the light and then pulled Feng Qingyi back into his arms.

By now, Feng Qingyi was used to sleeping with Qin Yuchuan. Although they often hugged and kissed and shared intimate moments during the day, there were no excessive actions when they were actually in bed together.

Several times, Feng Qingyi had felt changes in his body, but he always appeared outwardly calm, so she pretended nothing had happened.

Because of this, Feng Qingyi felt very safe with him and acted quite freely, knowing that he would respect her.

In the morning, Feng Qingyi groggily got up and pulled back the curtains. Sunlight flooded the room, warm and peaceful.

The person who had slept beside her last night had already left, which didn't surprise Feng Qingyi. His routine was always like this.

The week before exams, classes had already been suspended, giving everyone time to review.

Before exams, Feng Qingyi only spent extra time reviewing subjects that required memorization, rarely spending much time on other subjects.

After going out to buy breakfast, Feng Qingci also woke up.

At the dining table, the two ate breakfast together.

Feng Qingci asked, "What was that sudden shout in the middle of the night? You scared me awake!"

"You heard that?" Feng Qingyi wondered if the room's soundproofing was really that poor.

Feng Qingci replied, "You shouted so loudly. I'm not deaf, how could I not hear it?"

Feng Qingyi pointed to her head. "I fell off the bed and accidentally hit the bedside table."

Feng Qingci scoffed, "Such a big bed and you still managed to fall off. You're hopeless!"

"Oh, you're so smart. It's not like I did it on purpose. Hurry up and eat," Feng Qingyi retorted.

Feng Qingci changed the subject. "Are you going home for the holiday?"

Feng Qingyi thought for a moment. "We'll see. It doesn't matter if I go back or not. Are you going?"

"Uncle said he's arranged for me to go abroad on a business trip during the summer vacation, so I probably won't go back," Feng Qingci replied.
