Chapter 209

"It's nothing, I just remembered some things. If one day..."

He stopped mid-sentence, unsure how to express these thoughts to her.

There was no absolute safety on the battlefield, and he had always deliberately ignored certain realities. But after watching this movie today, he suddenly felt pensive.

Yet what use was there in telling her these things? It would only cause unnecessary worry and distress.

"What were you going to say?" Feng Qingyi also stopped walking.

Qin Yuchuan shook his head, "It's nothing. Let's head back!"

"You don't need to be so hesitant. If you have something to say, just say it. Didn't you say we could be frank with each other?" Feng Qingyi said.

Qin Yuchuan squeezed Feng Qingyi's hand, "I'm so glad I met you."

"...Why are you suddenly getting so sentimental?" His serious expression had made her think he was about to say something momentous.

The night streets were brilliantly lit, the bright streetlights casting long shadows of the two.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Feng Qingyi tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

They walked slowly, passing through the bustling crowd and onto a quiet side street.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Qin Yuchuan: "Qingqing, what would you like me to say?"

"Tell me about yourself!" Feng Qingyi said.

Qin Yuchuan thought for a moment, "About myself?"

"You could talk about your childhood. You must have been very popular as a child!" Feng Qingyi suggested.

Qin Yuchuan: "About my early years, my clearest memories are from my time at the academy. That's where I met Yan too."

"He was excellent at everything back then. Except for military strategy and martial arts, I was inferior to him in all other subjects. I even ranked last in arithmetic, which worried my parents greatly. They hired many tutors for me."

"You were last in arithmetic?" Feng Qingyi stifled a laugh. She had never imagined this.

Qin Yuchuan put his arm around Feng Qingyi's shoulders, "Does Qingqing think I'm omnipotent?"

Feng Qingyi: "Of course! In my heart, you're the most capable person."

Qin Yuchuan smiled, "To live up to Qingqing's expectations, I'll work hard."

"Being the best in your area of expertise is already amazing. I studied mathematics, so I'll handle the arithmetic from now on." Feng Qingyi pointed to herself.

"Alright, then you'll be in charge of our household accounts in the future," Qin Yuchuan said.

"Our household? You're thinking quite far ahead," Feng Qingyi said, holding onto his arm.

Now it was Feng Qingci's turn to be shocked, "You don't even know what games are! Are you from the Stone Age? Give me your phone, I'll download some for you. Let's play PUBG together."

"PUBG?"

Hearing the questioning tone, Feng Qingci sighed. He had originally planned to show off his skills in the game, but now it seemed that was out of the question.

After all, no matter how skilled he was, he couldn't carry such a clueless teammate.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't play with you. I'll just play by myself. Don't you ever go online?"

Qin Yuchuan: "No."

"I can't believe it. In this day and age, there's actually someone who doesn't go online?" This guy must be from the Stone Age, no doubt about it.

"Is that a problem?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingci: "No, no, as long as you're happy!"

"I will take good care of her," Qin Yuchuan suddenly said.

Feng Qingci: "Words alone aren't enough. If you don't treat her well, I won't let you off easy."

Qin Yuchuan took out a gold bar from his suit pocket, "This is for you."

Feng Qingci took the gold bar and bit it to check its authenticity, "Since you're giving it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it."

This must be worth tens of thousands of yuan. Another windfall. Not a bad deal at all.

Seeing his reaction, Qin Yuchuan found it somewhat amusing. It seemed he was easily bought.

"I'll be going now. Enjoy your reading!" Feng Qingci left with the gold bar.

When Feng Qingyi finished painting and went to find Qin Yuchuan in the study.

"I'm done painting. It's getting late, shall we turn in?"

"Mm, let's go."

As Feng Qingyi and Qin Yuchuan were returning to their room, they happened to run into Feng Qingci. He merely glanced at them before nonchalantly entering his bedroom.

Feng Qingyi looked at the closed door: "Why isn't he objecting to us sleeping together today?"

Qin Yuchuan: "Perhaps I've bought him off."

"What did you use to buy him off?" Feng Qingyi was curious.

Qin Yuchuan: "Nothing much, just a gold bar."

"...A gold bar, and that's all it took? That's too easy. He wasn't like this before. Besides, he's not short of money. Why is he getting stranger and stranger?"

"Perhaps he's saving up to get married. Let's get some rest."
