Chapter 38 The Battleground Between the Cat and the Little Green Dragon
You briefly informed the train crew of your situation, saying that you wouldn't be returning to the train that night.
The few people who learned the news outwardly supported you, but in reality, they secretly created a group behind your back.
When will my favorite couple finally become a reality (without Miss Ranger)?
[March 7: @Think Tank Administrator, Professor Danheng, someone has raided our base]
[Trail Blazers: Mom's not coming home tonight? Huh?]
Himeko: That General Jingyuan seems like someone special.
[□□: They are old acquaintances, and are said to be fellow students.]
A major revelation has been made.
[March 7th: Uncle Yang's words reminded me that we were in Luofu before, and I overheard some gossip. There were rumors that General Jingyuan had secretly married and had a child.]
[March 7th: General on a morning date with a mysterious woman, suspected of being married with a child (link)]
[Trail Blazers: It turns out I'm not my mother's only child]
[Trail Blazers: crying emoji]
[March 7th: Is this the important point?]
[Danheng: It's fake.]
Himeko: So what's the relationship between the three of you?
Himeko joined the gossip-watching group.
[Danheng: We used to be good friends. She and Jingyuan were disciples of the Jingliu School, so they were like brother and sister, childhood sweethearts.]
March 7th: Wow!
[Danheng: Later, she married my past life.]
[March 7th: As expected, the childhood sweetheart can't beat the newcomer]
[March 7th: Is the next step going to be a battle for the affections of childhood sweethearts and ex-husbands? I can't wait!]
[March 7th: Eating melon seeds jpg]
[Danheng: Stop reading those random, nonsensical novels.]
[March 7th: Speaking of which, Danheng, you're so aloof, how did you manage to win her over in your past life?]
[Trail Blazers: Curious.jpg]
Himeko: +1
【□□:+1】
【Pam: +1】
[Dan Heng: ...]
The think tank administrator has gone offline.
[Himeko: Alright, Little Sanyue, stop teasing him.]
Himeko stepped in to defuse the situation at just the right moment.
[□□: Based on my observation, she still harbors feelings for your past life; your chances of winning are very high.]
[Danheng: Mr. □□...]
[March 7th: What kind of substitute literature is this?]
[Danheng: Your book has been confiscated]
[March 7th: No! I was wrong, Teacher Danheng...]
[Trail Blazers: So, is Coach Danheng really my dad?]
[Dan Heng: ...]
[March 7th: ...Good question]
[Himeko: @GalaxyBasketMan, Pam prepared a late-night snack, want to come over and eat?]
[Trail Blazers: I'm here!]
The Trail Blazers have been taken offline.
Himeko: Alright, now we can talk about how to resolve this.
[Himeko: Danheng, what are you thinking?]
Himeko: If you still have feelings for her, then let her know. If you have no feelings for her, you shouldn't stop her from pursuing happiness.
[March 7th: Himeko-neechan is right.]
[Danheng: Thank you for your guidance, I'll need to think about it.]
Himeko: Think it through carefully, ask your own heart.
Himeko: Whatever decision you make, we will support you.
[Danheng: Thank you all]
...
On this side, Jingyuan originally arranged a private room for you, but Xiaolongnu insisted on sleeping with you.
You couldn't refuse her, so you had to agree.
Little Dragon Girl happily pulled you into the inner room, leaving Jingyuan outside.
Jingyuan stood outside for a while and heard you and Bailu laughing.
Just thinking about seeing you again tomorrow, Big Cat couldn't help but hum a cheerful little tune.
He walked back, humming a song as he carried the gifts, overjoyed.
After taking a bath, you and Bailu lie on the bed chatting.
Little Dragon Girl shared her life in the Shence Mansion with you, saying that General Jingyuan treated her very well, and Brother Yanqing was also very kind, always buying her delicious food.
You piece together Jing Yuan's usual image and the way he and his master interact from her words, and you can't help but smile knowingly.
It's truly remarkable that Jingyuan could swallow so much pain alone and still face life with a smile.
I hope he is safe, happy, and well.
"Sister, I want to hear a bedtime story."
"OK."
At Bailu's request, you recounted your years of wandering life as a knight-errant, which made Xiaolongnu increasingly excited.
She also longed to see the outside world.
"There will be an opportunity," you promised her.
She shouldn't be trapped in the shackles of the Dragon Lord like Danfeng; she should be like a free bird soaring through the sky.
You will help Bailu fulfill the wish that Danfeng couldn't.
As night deepened, Little Dragon Girl gradually closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep as you narrated your story.
Tomorrow will be a nice day.
...
The next morning, you sat in the courtyard combing Bailu's hair.
The Little Dragon Girl sat obediently in front of you, looking at herself from left to right in the mirror.
Jingyuan knocked on the courtyard gate, carrying a fragrant breakfast.
Upon hearing the commotion, Bai Lu quickly got up and rushed to the courtyard gate, her hair still untied on one side.
"General!"
Jing Yuan walked in with practiced ease and placed the breakfast on the table.
"Good morning, I brought you breakfast." The big cat greeted you naturally. "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good. The environment of Shence Mansion is very quiet and peaceful, suitable for sleeping."
"Then you must come often in the future."
"Yes, I will definitely visit my old friends more often."
You handled the situation skillfully, deflecting Jingyuan's ambiguous remarks.
"Bai Lu, come here and comb your hair."
You call out to Little Dragon Girl, and she comes running over obediently and sits down obediently.
Jingyuan wasn't annoyed. He opened the food box, took out a plate of snacks, and placed it in front of Bailu.
The temptation of delicious food was indeed great. Soon, Xiao Bailu was happily eating her snacks, no longer paying attention to your and Jingyuan's idle chatter.
You and Jingyuan chatted casually, but your hands kept braiding your hair.
"All done." You quickly finished braiding your hair, went back to the kitchen to wash your hands, and then couldn't wait to enjoy your delicious breakfast.
Jingyuan pushed the warm, floating goat milk to your side and thoughtfully inserted a straw for you.
This action has remained unchanged since the first time he invited you to dinner.
You were touched by Jingyuan's thoughtfulness, but silently apologized to him in your heart.
He ultimately gave his heart to the wrong person.
...
After breakfast, Jingyuan and Bailu escorted you to the entrance of Shence Mansion, where you unexpectedly encountered Danheng waiting outside.
Today, Danheng specially wore the scarf you gave him, and thoughtfully made sure that the side with the Q-version dragon print was facing outwards, so that everyone passing by could see it.
"Good morning, the Trail Blazers have been waiting for you for a long time." Dan Heng said calmly, using the Trail Blazers as a shield.
"Then I'll take my leave." You turned and waved goodbye to Jingyuan and Bailu, then walked side by side with Danheng toward the train.
Jingyuan and Bailu resembled an elderly father and daughter abandoned by their mother, their low spirits visibly evident.
"General, the Ten Kings' Division has arrived with a report."
A subordinate rushed over with official documents, forcing Jing Yuan to suppress his emotions and focus on his work.
After bidding farewell to Jingyuan, you and Danheng remained silent, and the only sound along the way was your footsteps.
"The Trail Blazers said she misses you." After a while, Danheng started the conversation.
"She misses me a lot, do you miss me too?"
Your straight shot caught Danheng off guard.
"..."
"Is the scarf still suitable? Is it warm enough?" You decide to be tactful and take it step by step.
"It fits perfectly, it's just the right size."
I reluctantly answered your question.
Himeko's teachings from last night were still echoing in his ears, and March 7's question, "What were you in your past life to win her over?" made him recall his previous experiences.
In my memory, Danfeng was aloof, but when it came to you, he was the one who took the initiative.
He is not good at verbal attacks, but prefers to express his feelings through body language.
After that, the aloof dragon lord learned to only bow his head to you, and to only say sweet words to you.
These actions are still too embarrassing for him to talk about at the moment, but he has learned one thing: to take the initiative and look for opportunities.
That's why he appeared outside the Shence Mansion to pick you up and take you back to the train.
"What are you thinking about?" I couldn't help but ask, noticing his nonchalant expression.
"……nothing"
He didn't say anything more after that. It wasn't until they were almost on the train that he hurriedly added, "Nuomi Tuan misses you a lot, and I... miss you too."
The innocent Xiaolong blushes and avoids eye contact even when he says "I miss you," daring not to look you in the eye.
"You're back. Danheng, why is your face red?"
Amidst the jeers of March 7th, Danheng fled in panic, but still heard your soft laughter.
It seems the result wasn't bad.
Danheng thought to himself.
