Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 6

As usual, Feng Qingyi went to bed early.

The next day when she woke up, Feng Qingyi took her phone from the bedside table. As soon as she opened it, she saw a message from Qin Yuchuan.

[Morning 🌞]

Feng Qingyi looked at the time he sent the message, 4:10am. He woke up so early, no wonder he's a general.

[Feng Qingyi: Good morning! Do you wake up this early every day?]

[Qin Yuchuan: 3am is not early anymore]

[Feng Qingyi: For me, it's quite early. I usually wake up at 7am, around 7am.]

[Qin Yuchuan: I forgot to ask your age yesterday]

[Feng Qingyi: I'm nineteen. What about you?]

[Qin Yuchuan: Twenty-five, unmarried]

Feng Qingyi stared at the word "unmarried," wondering what he meant by that.

When Qin Yuchuan saw that Feng Qingyi was nineteen, he felt a momentary sense of loss. A nineteen-year-old girl in the Heavenly Dynasty would have already been married and had children. Could she already be married?

After some thought, Qin Yuchuan decided to ask her directly.

[Qin Yuchuan: Are you married?]

[Feng Qingyi: I haven't graduated from university yet, and I'm not of legal age. Who would I be married to?]

[Qin Yuchuan: University? Legal age?]

[Feng Qingyi: University is a place for learning. Legal age refers to the legal age for marriage, which is twenty-two for men and twenty for women.]

[Feng Qingyi: Of course, this is just an age limit. Nowadays, there are many men and women in their thirties who haven't married. Marriage is not something I should be considering at this stage.]

After reading Feng Qingyi's explanation, Qin Yuchuan felt relieved for some reason.

[Qin Yuchuan: Could you introduce me to the world you live in?]

[Feng Qingyi: Are you busy right now?]

[Qin Yuchuan: No.]

[Feng Qingyi: Then how about I call you after I finish my breakfast?]

[Qin Yuchuan: Okay.]

Feng Qingyi got up, washed and tidied herself up, and left the room to see if Feng Qingci had prepared breakfast in the dining room.

However, when she reached the dining room, she didn't see a single person, let alone breakfast.

Feng Qingyi sighed. Her brother was unreliable, so she decided to go downstairs and buy a couple of steamed buns.

After finishing her breakfast, Feng Qingyi returned to her room, ready to call Qin Yuchuan.

Should she make a video call? Feng Qingyi was a little curious about this general with a pleasant voice.

Although a video call could earn her 100 points right away, it might seem a bit abrupt.

What if he turned out to be a big, burly guy? How could she continue talking to him after that?

But considering that she would need to rely on him to earn points in the future, Feng Qingyi felt it was necessary to get to know him better.

So Feng Qingyi decided to take the plunge and made the first video call.

Qin Yuchuan answered quickly.

Feng Qingyi positioned her phone properly. "Hello! Can you see me?"

"Yes."

Qin Yuchuan looked at the girl on the screen. Her long, curly chestnut hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her skin was fair, and her eyes sparkled like stars.

Qin Yuchuan had seen many women in Shengjing, most of them dignified and graceful in their demeanor, but he found them dull.

The woman before him, however, was different. Even through the screen, he could sense her confidence and poise.

"Now you lift up your phone and let me see you too," Feng Qingyi said.

Qin Yuchuan did as she asked.

Although Feng Qingyi had mentally prepared herself, she was truly surprised by how handsome Qin Yuchuan was.

He had a noble, refined appearance, as if he had been carefully sculpted and polished.

His dark hair was tied back with a jade hairpin, and his deep, penetrating eyes lay beneath his sword-like brows.

His features were exquisite, like a work of art.

His face did not reveal his identity as a general; instead, he looked like a dashing young nobleman.

"You're too good-looking!" Feng Qingyi couldn't help but exclaim.

Qin Yuchuan didn't like such compliments, but when they came from Feng Qingyi's mouth, he didn't find them unpleasant.

Feng Qingyi stared at Qin Yuchuan for a long time before remembering the matter at hand.

"You asked me to introduce you to my world, right? A few sentences won't be enough to explain it. Why don't you tell me what specific aspects you want to know about?"

Qin Yuchuan thought for a moment. "Everything."

"Okay, then let me briefly talk about the country I live in..." Feng Qingyi gave Qin Yuchuan an overview of the history of Hua Country.

As Qin Yuchuan watched the girl on the screen speaking eloquently, he seemed a little distracted.

"Do you have anything else you want to know?" Feng Qingyi opened her homework and prepared to work on it while chatting with him.

"What are you writing?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi held up a stack of materials to show him. "These are my assignments. There are only nineteen days left before I go back to school, and I haven't started a single one."

"Does everyone in your world need to attend school?" Qin Yuchuan asked curiously.

Feng Qingyi nodded. "More or less. Generally, people attend school from age three to twenty-two. After that, it's up to the individual to choose whether to work or continue their studies."

"You said you're a general, so does that mean you have to lead troops into battle?" Feng Qingyi asked.

"Indeed," Qin Yuchuan replied.

"That must be very dangerous!" Feng Qingyi found herself feeling a tinge of concern.

Qin Yuchuan remained calm. "Yes."

"Take care of yourself," Feng Qingyi said after thinking for a while, unable to come up with anything better.

"I will," Qin Yuchuan replied.

A long silence followed, with neither of them speaking.

Feng Qingyi quietly worked on her assignments, while Qin Yuchuan watched her, creating a sense of peaceful tranquility.

"Let's talk again when we have time. I'll hang up for now," Feng Qingyi finally spoke up.

"Okay," Qin Yuchuan agreed.

After ending the call, Feng Qingyi opened the Mysterious Store and saw her remaining points increase from 60 to 170, feeling a little excited.

Qin Yuchuan was truly her lucky star. She hoped he would live a long and prosperous life, as she was counting on him to help her earn points and get rich!

Without hesitation, Feng Qingyi redeemed the Quick-Witted Pill from the store.

After redeeming it, a small box appeared in front of her. Feng Qingyi opened the box and saw a black pill inside.

Feng Qingyi picked up the pill and swallowed it directly.

The moment she swallowed it, she felt energized and invigorated immediately. It seemed that the pill's effects were quite potent.

With her newfound photographic memory and abundant energy buff, it was truly a blessing for her current situation.

After all, there was so much she needed to remember, and it would take over a week to go through everything, not to mention that she often forgot things soon after reading them.
