Well, Hua Cai had no choice but to give up. She found a huge rock, lay down on it, and quietly looked at the stars in the night sky.
The weather is so nice today.
Hua Cai reached out, her fingers slightly spread, and grasped the hazy moonlight in her palm.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, blocking the moonlight that was shining on Hua Cai.
rub--
Hua Cai sat up straight instantly, her fingers slightly curled into claws, and looked at the newcomer warily: "Yue Chen, what are you trying to do now? We are on the march. If you attack me again, you will be violating military orders."
As Hua Cai stood up, the newcomer raised his head slightly, and his face under the moonlight looked like that of an immortal. It was none other than Yue Chen.
Yue Chen watched her quietly, and under Hua Cai's extremely vigilant gaze, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—Stone, this thing can actually smile—" Hua Cai stared blankly at the sudden smile, her mind screaming as if struck by lightning.
In the system space, the light ball rolled its eyes dismissively. A flash of white light appeared, and a page of the storybook on the electronic screen turned: "Making a fuss over nothing. Who doesn't laugh? Hmm? This task is not bad. I can mention it to the host. Tsk tsk tsk, this one is not bad either—"
Yue Chen's smile was quite short-lived. After Hua Cai's inner roar subsided, she was faced with that incredibly sour face again.
Hua Cai cautiously took a step back, waiting for his next move.
Yue Chen stared at her silently for a long time, then suddenly sat down on the rock that Hua Cai had stepped back to make way for, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and remained silent.
After a long silence, seeing that he really had no intention of making a move, Hua Cai breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Then you stay here and watch, I'm leaving."
"Your military orders must be kept within your sight at all times." Yue Chen answered quickly this time, meaning that even if you leave, I will still follow you.
Hmm, it seems there is such a thing.
Hua Cai thought about it for a moment and realized that it was true. Seeing that Yue Chen really didn't intend to make a move, she breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the open space was big enough, she sat back down.
"Then it's settled, no physical violence allowed." Hua Cai was still uneasy when she saw that Yue Chen didn't intend to fight. Just based on how ruthless he was to her two years ago, she had reason to suspect that he might be even more ruthless and use any means necessary as a tactic.
The moonlight tonight is truly exceptional, enveloping everyone, even making someone as sharp and proud as Yue Chen appear exceptionally gentle.
Yue Chen was still wearing that dark blue armor, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight, stiff and icy, giving him a sense of isolation and decline.
Hua Cai's heart stirred, and after a slight hesitation, she still spoke up: "Aren't you tired of looking up all the time? This rock is so big, I, the general, will generously give you half of it."
Yue Chen was taken aback and turned to look at Hua Cai. He couldn't see the expression on Hua Cai's face because of the moonlight, but the cold and lonely atmosphere suddenly faded a lot.
Seeing the spot that Hua Cai had deliberately made room for him, Yue Chen hesitated for a moment before obediently lying down.
"Isn't this much more convenient?" Hua Cai smiled and turned her gaze to the starry sky. The boundless and ethereal feeling made her smile contentedly. "It's so beautiful."
As Hua Cai turned her gaze to the starry sky, Yue Chen tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on her face. Hearing her words, he involuntarily uttered a soft "Mm."
She blinked repeatedly, wondering if she had just heard the person answer her.
"Huh? What did you just say?" She turned to look at Yue Chen. "You actually agreed with me? That's just—"
A warm touch came from her lips, and Hua Cai felt that there was something on her lips, so she subconsciously licked it.
The warm breath sprayed onto her face, and Hua Cai paused, looking up to meet a pair of enlarged fox eyes, instantly freezing in place.
This, this is—
That's it, my innocence is in jeopardy.
"General, dinner is ready. Should we deliver it to your tent or—" A voice came from afar, and Shi Zhong, panting heavily, ran over. His words stopped abruptly, and his gaze fell on Shi Zhong, who instantly became dazed.
brush--
"Send me my tent." Hua Cai jumped up instantly and disappeared in a flash as if her pants were on fire.
The air above the stone remained still, and Yue Chen remained frozen in a daze, his head turned away, lying there stiffly without moving.
A long time passed before the silence was broken when soldiers came looking for Shi Zhong.
After sending the soldiers away, Shi Zhong excitedly patted Yue Chen on the shoulder, instantly waking him up.
"Boss, you're awesome! I knew you could do it. Now Master can rest assured." Shi Zhong excitedly squatted down in front of Yue Chen and gave him a thumbs up.
Startled by his pat, Yue Chen finally came to his senses, sat up abruptly, and unconsciously licked his thin lips, looking a little bewildered yet also excited.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Zhong nudged his arm in dissatisfaction: "Boss, when is the wedding banquet scheduled? Boss Ling has already chosen the beginning of next month and the month after next, both are auspicious days."
Shi Zhong's words were extremely blunt, making Yue Chen feel somewhat uncomfortable: "Don't talk nonsense, I have no relationship with that—cough, I have no relationship with the general."
After saying that, he got up to leave, but Shi Zhong grabbed him.
“They’ve already kissed, so what’s this? I, Old Shi, saw it with my own eyes. Are you going to deny it? You can’t just start something and then abandon it.” Shi Zhong frowned disapprovingly. “Miss Jin is different from other girls. We brothers all admire her. If you follow the Crown Prince’s treacherous ways, we can’t stop you. Just don’t lay a hand on her.”
Shi Zhong's voice was filled with anger: "If you don't like a girl, don't provoke her, lest you cause her unnecessary trouble."
Looking at Yue Chen, seeing that he was still confused and conflicted, Shi Zhong knew that it was time to act and did not hesitate to add some strong ingredients to his solution.
"Oh well, I'm just worrying for nothing. Maybe Miss Jin doesn't like you, you lunatic. Maybe she went all that way to the frontier just to see the Emperor. After all—tsk tsk." Shi Zhong said, noticing Yue Chen's eyes flicker with a hint of barely perceptible dissatisfaction and grievance, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, adding fuel to the fire: "Even if it's not the Emperor, maybe it's someone else. I heard that the few junior generals who insisted on coming along are rising stars from the major families in the capital. They admire our Miss Jin immensely and are willing to go to the most dangerous frontier for training. Maybe one of them is someone Miss Jin likes?"
Despite his seemingly honest and simple face, Shi Zhong is quite adept at making up stories.
There were indeed a few rising stars from prominent families in the capital, but they were all just there to ride along with the Third Prince on his expedition, to gain experience and broaden their horizons. They had almost nothing to do with Hua Cai.
