Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 53

"Lady Feng Qingyi, Yan Chi and I would rather stand. It wouldn't be proper for us."

Feng Qingyi couldn't bear to watch anymore and pushed the two of them towards the chairs.

"You're eating at my home, yet you don't sit down. How is that proper?"

General Qin Yuchuan gave Yan Chi and Yan Yang a deep look, and the two finally sat down cautiously.

Feng Qingyi distributed the soy milk and steamed buns she had bought, keeping in mind the three men's circumstances, so she had purchased a little extra.

"Let me know if it's not enough, I can go get more."

General Qin Yuchuan spoke up, "It's enough. Do you eat just these for breakfast?"

"Not always. There are many breakfast options, and I usually rotate through different things. Today I thought these would be convenient to bring back. Do you not like them?" Feng Qingyi asked.

General Qin Yuchuan: "I don't dislike them."

"That's good, then let's eat. After you finish, you can tell me how you came here."

Feng Qingyi had already started eating a steamed bun.

The entire breakfast was eaten in exceptional silence.

Feng Qingyi ate two steamed buns and sipped her soy milk in small mouthfuls.

She would occasionally look up at General Qin Yuchuan with a thoughtful expression.

Even eating a simple bun, he did it with such elegance. Compared to him, she felt as if she lacked refinement.

Feng Qingyi glanced at Yan Chi and Yan Yang next to them. Well, at least not everyone is like General Qin Yuchuan.

Yan Yang noticed Feng Qingyi's gaze, "Lady Feng Qingyi, why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"

Feng Qingyi: "...I don't even know your names yet."

"I'm Yan Yang, he's Yan Chi. We've been General's guards for many years," Yan Yang said earnestly when Feng Qingyi asked.

Feng Qingyi nodded, "Alright, I know now. My name is Feng Qingyi, you can just call me Qingyi."

Yan Yang: "Okay, Lady Qingyi."

"..." Well, they didn't really need to add "Lady" to it, but oh well, let them be.

After finishing breakfast, Feng Qingyi cleaned up the dining table.

"Lady Qingyi, let me do it!" Yan Yang eagerly offered to help.

Seeing Yan Yang's enthusiasm, Feng Qingyi couldn't bear to refuse him.

"This is a cleaning cloth. You can help wipe the table."

Yan Yang took the cloth and inspected it first, "Lady Qingyi, even your cleaning cloths are so nice-looking here!"

"I prefer nice-looking things."

Feng Qingyi felt that conversing with Yan Yang was much easier than with General Qin Yuchuan.

Yan Yang had a baby face that made him seem more approachable.

After Yan Yang wiped the table clean, Feng Qingyi took the cloth, washed and hung it to dry in the sink.

"Why are you all just standing there watching me?" Feng Qingyi turned around to find the three men standing at the kitchen entrance, observing her.

"Waiting for you," came the simple two-word reply from General Qin Yuchuan's mouth, yet she found it slightly alluring.

Feng Qingyi walked towards the entrance, "Let's go to the living room and discuss how you ended up here."

Back in the living room, Feng Qingyi sat on the white, cloud-shaped single sofa.

General Qin Yuchuan, Yan Chi, and Yan Yang also sat in their previous seats.

Feng Qingyi was initially going to lounge on the sofa, even considering taking off her slippers to curl up on it.

But upon seeing the three men sitting upright and proper, Feng Qingyi abandoned that idea and decided to act more refined herself.

"How did you end up here?" Their sudden appearance in her living room was quite bizarre.

General Qin Yuchuan briefly explained the events leading up to their arrival.

As Feng Qingyi listened to General Qin Yuchuan recount what happened before they came, she was surprised.

This phone was actually a teleportation device capable of crossing worlds and transporting people - that was quite powerful.

"Could you let me take a look at your phone?"

General Qin Yuchuan walked over to Feng Qingyi with his phone and handed it to her. As he did, their hands brushed against each other.

Feng Qingyi didn't notice, taking the phone and inspecting it. The appearance seemed identical to her own phone.

Opening the phone, aside from WeChat, there was only a user manual.

As for how they arrived here and how they could return, there were no hints whatsoever.

Feng Qingyi returned the phone to General Qin Yuchuan, "So what are your plans now?"

"Unclear," General Qin Yuchuan replied, feeling uncertain for the first time.

Feng Qingyi: "I think you came here because of the phone, so returning should also involve it."

"For now, it's unclear how you can go back, so just go with the flow."

"Until you're able to return, you can stay here comfortably. Let me know if you need anything."

General Qin Yuchuan nodded, "Okay."

"Then we'll have to trouble you, Lady Qingyi," Yan Chi and Yan Yang bowed to Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi: "...It's no trouble, you two sit and relax."

Feng Qingyi had originally planned to study more over the next few days, but it seemed that might not be feasible now.

She couldn't just leave her guests unattended in the living room.

"Let me turn on the TV for you. If you're just going to be idle, you might as well watch TV!"

General Qin Yuchuan had heard Feng Qingyi mention TV before, but this was his first time actually seeing it.

Feng Qingyi turned on the TV in the living room, and as soon as it was on, a live broadcast of a military parade appeared.

Yan Chi and Yan Yang were startled.

Yan Yang: "Lady Qingyi, how did all those people get into that little box!"

"..." She didn't know how to explain the concept of filming and live broadcasts to people from ancient times.

General Qin Yuchuan spoke up in a timely manner, "Is this the military parade you mentioned?"

"Yes, and those next to it are tanks and armored vehicles."

Feng Qingyi suddenly remembered that at the beginning, General Qin Yuchuan had asked her to help get a tank. Thinking back, she found it rather amusing.

Yan Yang: "It looks very imposing. Lady Qingyi, could you give us one of those?"

Unsurprisingly, General Qin Yuchuan's subordinates shared similar thoughts.

"I'm afraid I'm powerless in that regard. Those belong to the country."

Yan Yang spoke again, "Then could we go and discuss it with your Emperor?"

General Qin Yuchuan glared at Yan Yang - why does he have to pry so much?

Receiving General Qin Yuchuan's glare, Yan Yang chose to stay silent.

Feng Qingyi noticed the undercurrent between them and spoke slowly.

"We don't have an Emperor here, only national leaders."

"As for discussing it with them as you suggested, that's not very realistic."

"We can't see anyone, so what's the point of discussing it?"

Qin Yuchuan noticed that Feng Qingyi didn't seem too interested.

"Qingyi, if you have things to do, go ahead and take care of them. Don't mind us."

"I don't have anything to do, I'll keep you company," Feng Qingyi said insincerely, though she actually had a lot of things to take care of.

Qin Yuchuan saw through Feng Qingyi's insincere words.

"Qingyi, if we can't go back for a few days, do you plan to stay here with us the whole time?"

"If you have your own things to do, go ahead and do them. Don't let our presence disrupt your normal routine."
