Chapter 32. Ji Yujing, seduced by this scene, kissed her again…
The next morning, before the distant sunset glow had faded, Ji and Jing arrived at the Lin residence again.
From the moment he left the military camp, he officially entered the wedding preparation stage.
To be honest, it wasn't really his fault; Grandpa and the older generation of the Ji family enthusiastically took on all of it.
These past few days, he has been able to stay by Lin Qingdai's side.
Whether she goes shopping or travels to the mountains and seas to watch the sunrise, it's all fine as long as she's happy.
They knocked on the door.
The servants busy in the front yard all greeted him respectfully, "Young Master."
Ji Yujing nodded slightly. "Please tell your young lady that I'll be waiting for her in the courtyard."
A servant said, "Please wait a moment, young master."
After saying that, he headed towards Lin Qingdai's courtyard.
Nearly fifteen minutes later, Lin Qingdai came into his view.
Today she wore a mint green dress, and the moment the wind brushed against her, it was as if spring was swaying.
As springtime light danced in her vision, Ji Yujing couldn't help but wonder: How could there be a girl who suited every color?
She can pull off gray and white, she can also wear peach pink and deep purple... she is captivating in every way.
He was caught up in his emotions and looked absent-minded.
Lin Qingdai, who was getting closer and closer to him, found it all very novel.
So even the renowned Iron-Blooded War God can be lost in thought.
A moment later, she came to him.
A faint fragrance wafted into Ji Yujing's nostrils, bringing him back to his senses: "Have you had breakfast?"
Lin Qingdai: Not yet. General Ji, would you like to invite me to breakfast?
Ji Yujing: "If you want, you can."
Lin Qingdai's almond-shaped eyes brightened slightly, clearly satisfied with the answer.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
The two left the mansion alone.
To give the soon-to-be-married couple more time alone, Lin Qingyu had already instructed Mingqian and Mingyue that they didn't need to follow Ji Yujing around as long as he was there.
Ji Yujing led Lin Qingdai into Jingning City.
As they walked, Lin Qingdai asked him, "What are you planning to treat me to? What do you usually eat for breakfast?"
Ji Yujing: "We usually eat in the military camp, various kinds of potatoes and porridge."
Lin Qingdai: "When will we have meat to eat? What kind of meat will we eat?"
Looking at the girl who seemed so curious, Ji Yujing couldn't help but chuckle.
He held back his laughter because he actually quite liked her curiosity about his world, and he couldn't bear to disrupt it.
"It happens two or three times a week. Occasionally I also go to the dense forest for training, and I've gained a lot from it."
"Where is Xingqing Town? Is it far from here?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Ji Yujing's eyes. "You even know about Xingqing Town?"
Lin Qingdai: "Yes, I read it in a storybook."
Ji Yujing remembered that she had asked him if he wanted to see the earthen building where Yu Yong lived, and she chuckled softly. Then she replied, "It's not far. If you want to go, I can take you to see it."
Lin Qingdai said, "Okay."
Upon entering the city, Ji Yujing led Lin Qingdai to a noodle shop called "Succulent," a shop that had existed as long as he could remember.
Standing at the shop entrance, Lin Qingdai stared at the signboard. "Succulents? General Ji is quite generous."
Ji Yujing: ...
He really didn't know how to respond to that.
If it's hard to answer, I'll just not answer it.
Do you like noodles?
"I like it."
"That's good."
The two entered the shop, and the portly shopkeeper, seeing that it was Ji Yujing, was overjoyed and immediately came forward to greet him, "General, you've arrived."
"This lady, is she?"
Ji Yujing hummed in agreement and asked in a low voice, "Are there any seats upstairs?"
The chubby shopkeeper struggled to control his voice, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll take you up."
After taking a couple of steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and bowed to Lin Qingdai, "Greetings, Madam."
Quite suddenly, and with a loud sound, Lin Qingdai was startled.
He took a step back and bumped into Ji Yujing, who was diagonally behind him.
Her panic caught his eye, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Qingdai looked at him, her small face cold and beautiful.
He didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious.
What are you laughing at?
Laughing too much can lead to tragedy and losing your wife.
Ji Yujing already knew that the young lady had a lot on her plate.
Given the current situation, if she were provoked any further, she could easily dump him and leave on the spot.
So, he forced a smile.
"Are you hungry? Let's go get some noodles."
Lin Qingdai then let him go, and the three of them headed upstairs to the second floor. After their figures disappeared into the entrance hall, the people of Lingdong who were eating noodles on the first floor could no longer contain their chatter.
"The General's wife is so beautiful!!"
"Of course, beauties have always been paired with heroes. Our General Ji is one of the top talents in Xun Kingdom, how could his wife not be beautiful?"
"General Ji must love his wife very much. This is the first time I've seen him smile like that."
"Yes, it has a youthful vigor."
"The wedding is in a couple of days, it's sure to be a lot of fun."
“My mother also received a wedding invitation, and she promised to take me to see it.”
"You... are really hateful."
The shopkeeper led Ji Yujing and Lin Qingdai to a wooden table with an excellent view. To their right, they could see a very bustling street in the city.
"What kind of noodles would the General and his wife like to eat?"
Ji Yujing replied, "Let's put two bowls on the signboard, one big and one small."
The shopkeeper agreed and left.
In no time at all, the noodles were served.
The owner was very thoughtful and served two different bowls, one with beef and one with seafood. There were many kinds of seafood, all of which were marinated for a long time before being fried to remove any fishy smell and make them crispy.
Lin Qingdai was very interested, but this small bowl...
It was very different from what she had imagined. To be honest, it was indeed smaller than the bowl for beef noodles, but the toppings were piled up over the rim. She was sure that if it were served in a larger bowl, the portion would be about the same.
Ji Yujing noticed her reaction and knew that she was surprised by the amount of noodles in the bowl.
The portion size in the small bowl wasn't originally like this; it was only changed because she came.
Ji Yujing knew everything, but remained silent.
He simply felt that Lin Qingdai, in this state of mind, was quite charming and adorable.
He wanted to keep this frame longer.
He only picked up his chopsticks when he felt he had enough.
"Let's eat."
Just as she lifted a strand of her face, Lin Qingdai suddenly called out, "Ji Ci."
Ji Yujing looked at her intently. "What's wrong?"
Lin Qingdai: "There's so much here, can I share half with you?"
She asked very carefully.
After all, it was her food, even though it hadn't been touched yet.
Ji Yujing was a powerful local tyrant; no matter how approachable he might seem, his status was undeniable. It seemed somewhat inappropriate for him to eat other people's food.
Ji Yujing chuckled inwardly, but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.
"I see."
"Then I'll take two small bowls, one with each type of noodle, and give you some of each?"
After listening, Lin Qingdai felt that General Ji was very sensible.
"OK."
Ji Yujing smiled slightly, then opened a drawer on the side of the table and took out two small bowls. She divided some noodles and soup for her according to her appetite.
"That's enough, that's enough."
"Let's get started."
Lin Qingdai smiled at him, "Thank you, General Ji. I will repay you."
Ji Yujing: "..."
Is she so easy to please?
During the meal, neither of them spoke again.
The difference in the amount of noodles was huge, so Ji and Jing deliberately slowed down their pace and finished eating at the same time.
After resting for a while, Ji Yujing asked Lin Qingdai where she wanted to go next.
Lin Qingdai thought for a moment, "I'll repay you first."
Ji Yujing: "..."
Seeing his expression, Lin Qingdai asked, "Don't you want to repay me?"
"This is good stuff, you'll regret it if you don't take it."
Ji Yujing's lips twitched slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face: "Yes, I'll take it."
"Let's go then."
"To Hongguang Town, I would like to trouble General Ji to lead the way."
A flicker of surprise crossed Ji Yujing's eyes, but he didn't say anything at the time.
After settling the bill with the shopkeeper at the noodle shop counter, he took Lin Qingdai to Hongguang Town.
Hongguang Town also belongs to Jingning City and is not far from the noodle shop. However, there are not many residents there, because most of the land in the town has been bought by people from other places.
I heard he's still alone.
A person with such wealth must come from a prominent family in the Kingdom of Xun, which is why no one dares to touch those lands and houses even though they are abandoned.
"I'm tired, I need to rest for a while."
After walking at a leisurely pace for nearly fifteen minutes, Lin Qingdai suddenly squatted down and stopped walking. Surprisingly, it didn't seem out of place at all for her to do something so childish with her goddess-like, beautiful face.
Ji Yujing squatted down in front of her. "You've only been gone a short while."
Lin Qingdai: "I can't walk anymore."
She couldn't take another step.
"Didn't you say it was very close?"
The beautiful girl's starry eyes were full of accusation.
"It's very close, we'll be there in a little while."
Lin Qingdai: "I don't believe it."
Ji Yujing: "..."
When the young lady gets stubborn, she's incredibly difficult to appease.
After a moment's thought, I suggested, "Then I'll carry you there?"
"A hug is fine too."
"Of course, flying is fine too."
"Miss Lin, please choose one."
His suggestion sounded very sincere, and the accusation in Lin Qingdai's eyes disappeared. Her dark eyes sparkled as if stars had fallen into them. "Fly."
Ji Yujing gazed at the glimmer in her eyes and smiled, "You've wanted to fly for a long time, haven't you?"
Lin Qingdai crouched down and moved toward him, showing no trace of the demeanor of a noble lady.
"I've had a dream since I was very young."
The faint fragrance emanating from her body gradually seeped into Ji Yujing's nostrils with each movement, disturbing his heartbeat.
His gaze dimmed slightly. "What dream?"
Lin Qingdai: "I want to become a female knight with amazing lightness skills and travel all over the forty-eight states of Xun Kingdom."
"I'm also planning to write a travelogue called 'Dai Dai's Travel Diary'."
Unparalleled beauty, unparalleled vibrancy—seeing her, a surge of emotion welled up within Ji Yujing, hot and fierce. This emotion compelled him to lower his head, his thin lips landing on her forehead.
"Apart from becoming a female knight with amazing lightness skills, everything else will be achieved."
The sudden, unprecedented intimacy left Lin Qingdai stunned.
He was reflected in her bright, large eyes, and only he was there.
Ji and Jing were drawn in by this scene and kissed each other again.
Jiaojiao finally came to her senses, but what she was focused on was, "Ji Yujing, what do you mean? Do you think I can't learn light-body skills?"
"If I study seriously, my lightness skill will definitely be better than yours."
Ji Yujing suppressed a laugh and nodded repeatedly.
Lin Qingdai's eyes turned cold. "Are you just giving me the runaround?"
Ji Yujing: "No, I really mean it. Why don't I start teaching you martial arts from tomorrow?"
Lin Qingdai: "I don't need you to teach me."
"Find a master who is more skilled than you, and you'll have a chance to defeat him in the future."
Ji Yujing was amused, and his eyes lit up.
At that time, he was handsome and bright, even more outstanding than the noble young men in the capital.
Lin Qingdai saw it all, and her heart was pierced by the emotions.
If Ji Yujing didn't have to bear the burden of the people of Lingdong and the border that was never truly peaceful, he might have become famous in a different way.
It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's something he truly likes.
Ji Yujing, unaware of the turmoil in the woman's heart, laughed and stood up. He then grabbed her waist, easily lifted her up, and headed towards Rainbow Town.
He was moving so fast that the wind he created brushed against Lin Qingdai's face.
She felt a little pain and buried her face in his chest.
As the crisp air reached her nostrils, her attention was drawn to Ji Yujing's heartbeat.
Bang bang bang
Ji Yujing's heart seems to be beating a little fast?
Because of her proximity?
My thoughts fluttered slightly, bringing with them only sweetness.
Where he couldn't see, Lin Qingdai could no longer suppress the urge to smile.
