"To be honest, I really don't want to indulge your suspicious nature!" Ye Jingchen's face also turned cold.
"Have you always felt that I'm deliberately keeping you hanging on so that you'll willingly drive out the northern barbarians for me?"
“Expelling the Northern Barbarians is certainly what I want, but isn’t that what you want too? Even if it’s not for me, don’t you want to get rid of this external threat from the Northern Barbarians for the sake of the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion and the Divine Might Army?”
"Even if I explicitly refuse you, won't you still drive out the Northern Barbarians and still help me control the Divine Might Army?"
"I made an agreement with you based on things you were already obligated to do. If you're not willing to back down, then so be it. What are you still doubting?"
"Since you're so suspicious, why bother liking me? You might as well keep your heart closed off and remain a lonely person!"
After giving a good scolding, Ye Jingchen left Xie Chang'an, who was stunned by the scolding, and went straight to bed.
Xie Chang'an was indeed a little confused.
Since his rebirth, in the past ten years, no matter how angry Ye Jingchen was, he had never cursed him like this.
In his memory, Ye Jingchen had always been like a smiling tiger, and no one could make him angry.
However, his experiences over the past two days made him belatedly realize that Ye Jingchen's temper might not be as perfect as he appeared.
He pondered Ye Jingchen's words for a long time, and then felt much more at ease.
Ye Jingchen always greets everyone with a smile, but he has certainly never cursed anyone like this.
He was absolutely the first, and the only one, to enjoy this treatment.
When Ye Jingchen scolded him, he felt more like a real person than when he was smiling!
He approached the bedside somewhat guiltily, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you, but I just couldn't control myself."
After he finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Ye Jingchen's response, but after a long while, Ye Jingchen ignored him.
He was about to say something more when he heard a familiar and rhythmic snoring sound.
The snoring sound could only mean one thing: Ye Jingchen was asleep.
There's not even the possibility of pretending to be asleep.
Because someone pretending to be asleep can't produce that kind of snoring sound.
Xie Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
Their agreement has not yet been fulfilled.
Ye Jingchen's contract has not yet been written.
However, if he believed Ye Jingchen, there was no need to write the contract at all.
But without a written contract as proof, he would never feel at ease.
If he asks Ye Jingchen to write a contract after Ye Jingchen wakes up tomorrow, will Ye Jingchen be even angrier?
Xie Chang'an was extremely conflicted and took a cold shower. Although the water was very cold, it was not as cold as his heart.
After taking a shower, he stood in front of Ye Jingchen's bed for a long time, but ultimately didn't dare to sleep in the bed.
So that night, he slept on the wooden couch again, and once again couldn't fall asleep for most of the night.
He recalled Ye Jingchen's three requests word by word. He would have done the first one even if Ye Jingchen hadn't said it. The second request made Xie Chang'an feel sweet inside, but the thought of the third request turned his sweetness into bitterness.
Ye Jingchen must not like him enough to say such cold and heartless things!
If you truly like someone, you'll want to be with them all the time; how could you possibly keep your distance?
If Ye Jingchen wants him to keep his distance, it only means that Ye Jingchen doesn't like him enough!
Xie Chang'an fell asleep with those words in mind. After falling asleep, he had a dream in which Ye Jingchen was very angry and scolded him all night.
They scolded him for being suspicious, for being greedy, for being ungrateful...
In short, when Xie Chang'an woke up, his head was still buzzing and he felt extremely wronged.
He just really likes Ye Jingchen and wants the same kind of affection in return. Is he greedy?
Xie Chang'an stood by Ye Jingchen's bedside for a long time, looking at Ye Jingchen sleeping soundly, his resentment grew even stronger.
On the open ground, he brandished a long spear with a loud 'whoosh' sound to vent his frustration.
"You brat, who upset you this early in the morning?" Xie Shaoling, who was also up early for his morning exercise, stood beside Xie Chang'an and watched him practice his shooting for a while before asking with a smug look on his face.
"Father, shall we spar?" Xie Chang'an was feeling frustrated and directly challenged Xie Shaoling.
"That's exactly what I was thinking! Let your father see how much you've improved these past few years!" Xie Shaoling lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped into the air, and swung his spear down.
Xie Chang'an blocked the attack with his gun, and the two quickly engaged in battle.
The two men's marksmanship came from the same lineage and had similar styles. They were also very familiar with each other's moves, making their fighting dazzling. Ordinary people couldn't even tell how fast they were shooting.
But Xu Jingjing is no ordinary person.
Hearing the noise, she went out to see what was going on and found that it was a father and son sparring. She watched from the sidelines and kept cheering.
Xie Chang'an proposed a sparring match, initially just to vent his frustration. However, after exchanging blows, he quickly realized that he had to go all out in front of his father, or he would be badly beaten.
A sparring match between evenly matched opponents is always particularly exciting, and once Xie Chang'an got into it, he forgot about time.
More and more people were drawn by the sounds of the father and son fighting, and the cheers grew louder and louder until even Ye Jingchen, who was sleeping in his room, was awakened.
Every man has a martial arts dream. When Ye Jingchen first transmigrated into the book, he also had the idea of learning martial arts.
However, the schedule for classes at Wenhua Hall shattered his dreams.
If he had just taken a few fewer classes each day, he might have had more time to practice martial arts, and he wouldn't be in this situation where he can't even clearly see the specific moves of the father and son.
But as the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen just watch the show. Just based on the good looks of this father and son, this competition is quite interesting.
Although Ye Jingchen was very familiar with Xie Chang'an, he rarely had the chance to see Xie Chang'an make a move, and even fewer opportunities to see Xie Chang'an use a gun! It has to be said that Xie Chang'an looked very handsome with a long gun in hand, which made Ye Jingchen's heart flutter and his anger dissipate.
It was almost time for the military's morning training, so Xu Jingjing called a halt to the two of them.
With a hint of lingering satisfaction, Xie Shaoling patted Xie Chang'an on the shoulder as he put away his gun. "Not bad. You haven't slacked off these past few years, but there's still a lot of room for improvement!"
"I'll definitely beat you next time!" Xie Chang'an said proudly.
"Congratulations, General Xie! Like father, like son!"
"The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has a worthy successor!"
"The younger generation is truly formidable!"
The soldiers who had been watching left in twos and threes, sighing with emotion.
Xie Shaoling and Xu Jingjing also left, leaving only Ye Jingchen.
Xie Chang'an walked towards him with the gun in hand and noticed that his face was a little red.
"Why is your face red?" he asked.
"I was so impressed by your graceful demeanor that I blushed with excitement," Ye Jingchen joked.
Xie Chang'an's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. However, it only lasted for a moment before he straightened his face again and glanced around discreetly. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention to them.
"Go back to your room, I have something to tell you," Xie Chang'an said.
