Chapter 8

Qin Yuchuan opened his phone and went to WeChat, "Can you see the words on it?"

Na Muqi stared at the phone for a while, but there were no words on it at all. Had the General truly been bewitched?

"There are no words on it. What do you mean, General?"

Qin Yuchuan was dazed for a moment, then called over Yan Chi who was standing nearby.

"Can you see the words on this?"

Yan Chi leaned in and looked closely, then shook his head, "General, are there any words on this?"

Qin Yuchuan fell into deep thought again. If Yan Chi and Na Muqi couldn't see anything, and only he could, what was going on?

Yan Chi nudged Na Muqi, "Na Mu, what's wrong with the General lately? He's always staring at this little box in a daze. Is this some kind of treasure?"

"How would I know?" Na Muqi retorted.

Yan Chi scratched his head, "Aren't you always boasting about knowing everything under the sun?"

"I'm not a god." Na Muqi glared at Yan Chi and hurried away.

Yan Chi looked again at the pensive Qin Yuchuan, then quietly retreated.

After staying outside for a while, Qin Yuchuan eventually returned to his tent.

Based on the current situation, this phone must have some special function, such as only being visible to him. Perhaps he could ask Feng Qingyi about it.

[Qin Yuchuan: Miss Feng, are you busy now?]

[Feng Qingyi: Not at the moment. Didn't you say you went to war? Were you injured?]

Was he injured? It had been a long time since anyone asked him that.

[Qin Yuchuan: Thank you for your concern, Miss. I'm unharmed. I wanted to ask, is this "phone" thing from your world?]

[Feng Qingyi: Yes, what's wrong?]

[Qin Yuchuan: Nothing.]

Perhaps because this thing didn't belong to this world, that's why others couldn't see it. That would explain it.

[Feng Qingyi: Oh, did you have anything else?]

[Qin Yuchuan: How have you been recently, Miss?]

[Feng Qingyi: I'm doing well. And you don't need to call me "Miss," just call me Qingyi.]

[Qin Yuchuan: Alright.]

[Feng Qingyi: I heard you're at war. How's the battle situation?]

[Qin Yuchuan: Within three days, we'll achieve a great victory and return to the capital.]

[Feng Qingyi: You all are too formidable!]

"How could it be meaningless? You're fighting for your country, you're a hero of your nation."

"It's because of you, because of all of you, that they can live in peace and prosperity. Everything you all do will be etched in their hearts forever."

"I don't know what it's like in your world, but in ours, the military is the most respected profession."

"..."

Listening to Feng Qingyi's consolation, Qin Yuchuan revealed a faint smile.

How naive, a girl born and raised in the light and sunshine, who likely had never witnessed the world's malice.

The human heart is the most difficult to fathom - they may sincerely thank him for his efforts today, yet discard him like trash tomorrow.

"Qingyi, have you ever seen the desert sunset?"

Feng Qingyi shook her head, "No."

"Then let me show you."

Qin Yuchuan raised his phone towards the sun.

It was evening, the desert under the sun draped in a golden radiance.

Although puzzled by his sudden desire to show her the sunset, Feng Qingyi couldn't miss such a magnificent sight.

The phone's picture quality was so clear, she felt as if she was there in person.

"You must have seen many sunsets already!"

"Yeah." On the desolate desert, the sunrises and sunsets were the only scenery, but he disliked sunrises for being too dazzlingly bright.

"I think sunrises are nice too. If you're alone, you should go watch the sunrise sometime. Sunsets are too lonely."

Feng Qingyi's sudden words left Qin Yuchuan stunned.

"Why did you stop talking? I was just suggesting, if someone accompanied you to watch the sunset, then it wouldn't be so lonely."

Qin Yuchuan said, "Then will you accompany me to watch the sunset next time?"

"...I, I was just speaking idly, don't take it seriously." What was she blabbering about!

Qin Yuchuan's lips curved upward, what an adorable little girl.

After watching the sunset over the vast desert, Feng Qingyi said hurriedly, "Anyway, it's this time of day now, my brother has probably finished cooking dinner, I'm going to go eat."

"Very well, after securing victory, I shall contact you again," Qin Yuchuan said as he watched her phone darken.

Qin Yuchuan returned to his tent.

"Yan Chi, did you see that just now? It seemed like the general smiled!" Yan Yang said.

Yan Chi asked, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure about that," Yan Yang replied honestly, "Just now the general was talking to himself while holding a small black box, walking around the camp, and then went over to that sand dune."
