Chapter 32 An Unexpected Trip of Three
The next morning, Danheng ran into March 7, who was waiting for his prey, as soon as he stepped out of his room.
“Danheng…hahaha…you still remember…” March 7th said, laughing as she looked at the bump on Danheng’s forehead, “Let me laugh first.”
Dan Heng was exasperated and made to go back to his room.
“Don’t go…” March 7th grabbed his sleeve and shoved the camera in front of his face.
"Do you want to know what you did last night?" March 7 asked mysteriously, pulling up the video from last night—the entire process of Dan Heng's drunken confession.
"...Delete it." Dan Heng ordered expressionlessly after reading the rest.
"No way, I want to cherish this! It's a huge breakthrough for you two. Keep it up, I believe in you!"
Taking advantage of his height, Danheng reached out to snatch March 7's camera. But March 7 was prepared and immediately dodged to the side, making a smug face at Danheng.
Overconfident, March 7th kept backing away, and without noticing, he bumped into the Trail Blazers who suddenly barged in.
The two of them fell to the ground together, and the camera in their hands was thrown away.
Ignoring the pain in his butt, March 7th made a move to retrieve the camera, but Danheng beat him to it.
Danheng quickly deleted the video from last night, and then looked through the photo album and found that March 7 had secretly taken many photos of you and him together.
“Taking photos without consent is illegal, so I’ve confiscated these photos.”
"No—"
Amidst the wailing on March 7th, Danheng unexpectedly stumbled upon a photo of you feeding Jingyuan medicine.
When was this filmed?
Dan Heng's alarm blared as he held up the photo and asked a question.
“Yesterday afternoon, the Trail Blazers and I went to find her, and we discovered her by chance,” March 7th recalled.
"I remember now. When I arrived, Mom was feeding General Jingyuan a nourishing soup. The general was watching Mom with a smile. Later, Mom made an excuse to send me away." The raccoon realized belatedly.
"Something feels off," March 7th muttered to himself.
"That General Jingyuan is a really nice guy. I ran into him this morning, and he even bought me three strings of Qiongshi bird skewers," the Pioneer said carelessly.
"What? Three skewers? You didn't even leave me one? Are we still best friends?" March 7th's focus has clearly shifted.
"Jingyuan? What did he say to you?" Danheng asked.
"He just asked what his mother was doing," the raccoon answered truthfully.
"...I understand..." Dan Heng said no more and quickened his pace to leave.
"My camera—"
...
On this side, you are picking out trinkets in front of a small shop when you unexpectedly run into Jingyuan.
"What are you doing here?" He was a bedridden patient yesterday, but today he can go out for a walk. His injury is healing way too fast.
"I was just passing by during my morning exercise. The doctor told me to exercise more so I would recover faster," Jing Yuan explained calmly.
"Really?" You clearly didn't believe it. "If you're sick, you should rest properly. You're hundreds of years old, how can you act like a child who doesn't know his limits?"
"Yes, yes, you're right." Jing Yuan wasn't annoyed and accepted all of her nagging. "Then, could you please escort me back to the Pill Refining Division, Miss Wanderer?"
You stare at Jing Yuan from left to right, and the latter still has a smiling face, lying without batting an eye.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to carry it for me, General." You smiled and handed the child's windmill to him, then walked alongside him toward the Dan Ding Si (a department of alchemy).
Jingyuan stared at the childish windmill in his hand and smiled.
He knows you're getting revenge on him, but he's enjoying it.
And so the people of Luofu saw their steady and reliable general parading through the streets carrying a windmill toy, accompanied by a gentle and charming woman.
Is this a public display of affection? But why would they take a child's toy?
Wait, a child's toy? My apprentice Yanqing is past the age of playing with toys, so who is this toy for? Could it be that the general has an heir?
The gossip spread and became more and more outrageous, eventually turning into the story that the general had secretly gotten married and had a child without telling anyone.
The two at the center of the storm were completely unaware of this outrageous rumor and continued walking towards Dan Ding Si.
As you turn a corner, you unexpectedly run into someone you know.
"Danheng?"
Upon hearing your voice, Danheng silently turned around, still holding the xiaolongbao he had just bought.
Danheng was already anxious when he learned that Jingyuan had been secretly inquiring about you. Along the way, he also heard gossip on the street, saying that "General Jingyuan has actually secretly married and had children."
"My sir, you don't know this, but the general was seen chatting and laughing with a woman while holding a child's windmill. Many people saw it." The stall owner enthusiastically gossiped, but Dan Heng couldn't hear what she was saying anymore. He immediately focused on the key phrase—"Jing Yuan is shopping with you."
Jealous, Xiao Long bought a bag of steamed buns as a prop and waited on the only way to Dan Ding Si, pretending to bump into him.
"Long time no see, Danheng." Jingyuan greeted him with a smile, completely unaware that he was trying to steal Danheng away.
"Just passing by, what brings you here, General?"
"Just wandering around, I'm heading back to the Pill Refining Division."
The two exchanged words, their conversation carrying hidden meanings.
As the center of the storm, you watched the two bicker and fight without intervening.
"I'm also going to the Dan Ding Division anyway, would you mind if I came along?" Dan Heng racked his brains to come up with an excuse.
"How could that be? Please."
Jingyuan adopted the airs of an empress and invited Danheng to accompany her.
After you finished speaking, you and Jingyuan continued walking forward, while Danheng stood cunningly on your other side, secretly competing with Jingyuan.
Two childish kids.
You think like this.
...
As soon as he entered the Dan Ding Si, he heard the physician scolding him: "General, where have you been? Your injuries haven't healed yet, come and apply the medicine."
Jing Yuan, who was exposed in public, was embarrassed for once. He was then taken away by the physician with a serious talk, leaving you and Dan Heng looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Ahem... Have you had breakfast?" Dan Heng looked away guiltily and handed you the steamed buns.
You reach out and take the xiaolongbao, pretending to accidentally brush against his fingertip.
The dragon's ears visibly turned red, its innocent and shy appearance exactly the same as Danfeng's back then.
"I'm going to consult a doctor about something, I'll be right back." Dan Heng turned around in a panic, staggering as he fled.
You couldn't help but laugh out loud, and to your delight, his ears turned completely red.
Seeing such a grand spectacle so early in the morning has greatly improved your mood.
You found a shady spot to eat and wait, and when you opened your phone, you saw 99+ messages.
[I'm Mom's Good Child Group Chat]
[March 7th: Teacher Danheng really went; I saw him.]
[March 7th: Photo of Danheng buying xiaolongbao from a street stall]
[Trail Blazers: This xiaolongbao looks delicious]
[March 7th: What time is it and you're still thinking about food?]
[March 7th: Wow, I see General Jingyuan!]
[March 7th: Images]
[March 7th: Images]
[March 7th: Images]
[Trail Blazers: Is Mom laughing?]
[Trail Blazers: Coach Danheng's expression is terrifying]
March 7th: They went to the Alchemy Bureau.
...
Then came the latest news: the two of them were enthusiastically exchanging information in the group chat, completely forgetting that you were still in the group.
[You: What are you talking about that's so lively?]
[Trail Blazers: Mom?]
You have been kicked out of the group chat by March 7th.
You stare at those words and slowly type a question mark. Have these two kids forgotten that they can check their previous chat history even after being kicked out of the group?
You casually swiped to the top, and then continued reading down the list.
It turns out Danheng had planned this all along. He probably heard the news that you and Jingyuan were together.
Even after reincarnation, he is still that possessive and jealous little dragon.
Hundreds of years ago, he also engaged in open and covert struggles with Jing Yuan, but back then you didn't notice that Jing Yuan actually had feelings for you and was only thinking about Dan Feng.
Looking back now, I realize that the reason for his sudden change in expression on that Qixi Festival when you rejected Jingyuan and chose Danfeng was because of this.
Belatedly, you silently apologized to Jingyuan.
Although Jingyuan arrived first, feelings never discriminate based on who came first.
After figuring all this out, you suddenly don't know how to face Jingyuan now.
