Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 21

Yan Yang lowered his head and did not speak further, but his heart still felt indignant on behalf of Qin Yuchuan.

For so many years, the General had devoted himself wholeheartedly to Tianqi, yet was constantly beset by difficulties from the Emperor. How unfair this world was!

Qin Yuchuan sat on the steps, recalling Feng Qingyi's gaze at him earlier. Had he really frightened her?

Qin Yuchuan was about to take out his phone, but seeing the time, he abandoned the idea. She would be going to school the next day, so he decided not to disturb her rest today and would explain things to her tomorrow.

The next day, Feng Qingyi woke up early, washed and put on makeup, and changed into a light green floral print dress.

When she dragged her suitcase to the living room, Feng Qingyi saw her irresponsible parents Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin.

"Dad, Mom, when did you two come back?"

Feng Zhixing: "Your mother and I heard that you start school today, so we came back specially to send you and your brother to the airport. Do you have all your things packed?"

Feng Qingyi nodded, "Yes, all done."

"Go and get your brother, it's so late already and he's still not out. He's as slow as ever." Feng Zhixing clearly had less patience when mentioning Feng Qingci.

Feng Qingyi had no choice but to knock on Feng Qingci's door, "Dad and Mom are back, they said they'll send us to the airport, so hurry up and get ready."

"...Well, they're back, but it's only six o'clock now, what's the rush?" Feng Qingci had not gotten out of bed yet.

Feng Qingyi: "Anyway, I've called you, whether you get up or not is up to you."

Back in the living room, Feng Qingyi saw Nan Yin take out a small box from her bag.

"Qingyi, your dad and I saw this necklace when we were traveling, and thought it would suit you very well. Try it on."

Feng Qingyi took the box and opened it to see a silver necklace with a star and moon pattern.

"Thank you, Mom, I love it."

Nan Yin smiled, "I'm glad you like it. Let me help you put it on."

When Feng Qingci came out and saw Nan Yin helping Feng Qingyi with the necklace, he asked, "Don't I get a gift?"

Nan Yin: "...Your gift, your dad said he bought one for you."

Feng Zhixing looked at Nan Yin, wondering when he had said he would buy a gift for Feng Qingci.

Nan Yin gave him a look, and Feng Zhixing understood. "I looked, but I didn't find anything suitable for you. I'll transfer you some money later, and you can buy whatever you want."

"For fairness, you should transfer me the same amount as the cost of her necklace," said Feng Qingci.

"Okay, your dad will transfer you the money later." They were both their children, so they couldn't favor one over the other. He would just secretly transfer some extra money to Qingyi later.

Feng Zhixing looked at Feng Qingci with some disdain, wearing only a pair of slippers. "We're leaving soon, hurry up and get ready!"

After Feng Qingci returned to his room, Feng Zhixing's gaze towards Feng Qingyi softened considerably. "Qingyi, do you have enough money to spend recently? Do you need me to transfer you some more?"

"That would be nice." Who would refuse extra money?

Feng Zhixing took out his phone, "You also need to pay tuition this time, so I'll transfer you a bit more."

In less than two minutes, Feng Qingyi received a transfer notification on her phone, showing a deposit of 500,000 yuan into her bank account. She happily gave Feng Zhixing a hug, "Thanks, Dad!"

Feng Zhixing whispered, "Just don't tell your brother."

"I know, I'll keep it a secret."

Feng Qingci dragged his suitcase to the living room, "I'm ready, let's go!"

The family took the elevator downstairs, with Feng Zhixing driving, Nan Yin in the passenger seat, and Feng Qingyi and Feng Qingci in the back.

Feng Qingci saw Feng Qingyi holding one phone in each hand. "Dad, Mom, I want to buy a new phone. Can you sponsor me?"

"Is your phone broken?" Nan Yin asked.

"Not broken, but it's too slow and can't be used anymore." Mainly, it wasn't smooth enough for gaming, so he needed a new one. Unfortunately, his little savings had run out, so he had to ask for help.

Nan Yin: "Your dad will transfer you some money later. How much do you need?"

How much did he need? Feng Qingci thought for a moment, "How much was Feng Qingyi's necklace?"

"Her necklace wasn't expensive, just twenty thousand yuan," Nan Yin casually replied.

Feng Qingci considered it, "Then give me fifty thousand, that should be enough for this semester."

"Okay, I'll have your dad transfer it to you later." Nan Yin wanted to laugh but held it in. Her son was really good at sweet-talking.

After Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin dropped off Feng Qingyi and Feng Qingci at the airport, they left.

Since there was still a long time before boarding, the two waited in the departure lounge.

As soon as they reached the lounge, Feng Qingci took out his phone and started playing games, while Feng Qingyi also took out her phone to chat with friends. After just a couple of messages, Feng Qingyi received a message from Qin Yuchuan.

[Yuchuan: Are you up?]

[Qingyi: Yes, I'm up early. I'm already at the airport, but it's not time yet, so I can only wait in the lounge for now.]

Feng Qingyi also took a photo and sent it to Qin Yuchuan.

[Yuchuan: Did I scare you last night? I apologize.]

[Qingyi: No, you don't need to apologize to me. It was my fault, I didn't consider things properly.]

[Yuchuan: No, it wasn't your fault. I was in a bad mood yesterday.]

[Qingyi: How's your mood today?]

[Yuchuan: I've figured some things out, so I'm in a good mood today.]

[Qingyi: That's good. Have you had breakfast?]

[Yuchuan: Yes, I've eaten. What about you?]

[Qingyi: I'm eating right now! I just bought a couple of buns outside, but they don't taste very good.]

[Yuchuan: Then go buy something else.]

[Qingyi: No, I'll make do. I'll have a nice meal when I get to school at noon. The food at our school cafeteria is quite good, I'll let you try it someday.]

[Qingyi: Are you back home now? Will you be very busy?]

[Yuchuan: No, there's nothing much.]

Except for making an appearance at the morning court, Xuanyuan Sheng would not entrust him with any real duties, so he actually had some free time.

[Qingyi: You have some free time now, but I'm going to be busy. Let me show you my class schedule for this semester. Except for Friday morning when there's only one class, the rest of the days are fully packed.]

Qin Yuchuan looked at the class schedule Feng Qingyi sent, but he couldn't really make sense of it. However, based on what she said, it seemed she would have classes every day.

He was unfamiliar with the world she lived in, so he didn't know how to respond. But it was clear that Feng Qingyi was just venting to someone.

[Feng Qingyi: Besides these courses, I also need to study some other courses. I feel that this semester will definitely be very fulfilling.]

[Qin Yuchuan: I hope you can achieve success in your studies.]

[Feng Qingyi: I borrow your auspicious words then.]

[Feng Qingyi: After I go to school, I will chat with you again when I have time. I'm going to buy a bottle of water now, as I'm a bit thirsty.]

[Qin Yuchuan: Okay, go ahead!]

"Feng Qingyi, who are you chatting with, you seem so focused!" Feng Qingci came over, but couldn't see any content.
