Chapter 162 "Always Quiet"
Chu Qiuchi instantly took control of the entire scene, as proud as a peacock, head held high, tail held high, and walked leisurely away from Ji Moyu.
Qin Yi broke down in tears and turned to leave without saying a word.
In this scene, it's as if background music is playing behind her—"My love for you has always been quiet, except for the tears that run rampant on my face. It's clearly a movie for three, yet I can never have a name..."
"Hey... don't go, I can explain..."
Yang Qi and Qin Xiao glanced at Chu Qiuchi and Ji Moyu, snorted coldly, and followed after them.
Chu Qiuchi spread his hands, sighed, walked up to Nalan Xingyao, and pouted, "Xingyao, believe me, this was definitely an accident!"
Nalan Xingyao chuckled, her eyes sparkling with tiny starlight, instantly captivating Chu Yichen beside her.
"Yes, I believe you! Because you're attacking everyone indiscriminately."
"It's a Pyrrhic victory! It's all that jerk's fault for being so despicable." With that, Chu Qiuchi curled her lips into a slight smile and gave him a flirtatious wink. "But, did it capture your girlish heart?"
Nalan Xingyao did not respond, but her smile deepened, and Chu Qiuchi also laughed.
"Hey, hey, sis, Xingyao, why are you two laughing in such a lewd way!"
As Chu Yichen watched the two men's increasingly distorted laughter, the filter in his eyes shattered instantly.
"If you two go out like that, you'll definitely scare all the kids on the street to tears!"
The two of them immediately vanished with smiles, their gazes sharp as knives, both aimed at Chu Yichen.
"It was me who was lewd!" Chu Yichen chuckled, raising his hand to lightly pat the corner of his mouth. "Heh, this deadpan mouth deserves a beating!"
Nalan Xingyao: "Heh!"
Chu Qiuchi: "Hmph!"
Chu Yichen: "..."
"Let's go, Xingyao, let's go back. We can't talk to perverted men like that, they'll corrupt us!"
"???" Who's the pervert here?
Chu Qiuchi and Nalan Xingyao walked away arm in arm, leaving Chu Yichen looking completely bewildered with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that Ji Moyu was also preparing to leave, Chu Yichen quickly ran over, put his hand on Ji Moyu's shoulder, and felt much better.
Ji Moyu glanced at the hand resting on her shoulder and forcefully suppressed the urge to brush it off.
"Brother Yu, do you like my sister or not? Do you want to be my brother-in-law?"
Chu Yichen subtly gathered information, intending to use it as a gift to apologize and win the favor of Chu Qiuchi and Nalan Xingyao.
Ji Moyu paused slightly, looked up at the face in front of her that resembled Chu Qiuchi's face by five points, and couldn't help but feel a momentary lapse in concentration.
After a moment, he looked away and said calmly, "It's not the right time yet."
Does this mean they like it or not? The way they're phrased it is so roundabout and hard to understand.
"Brother Yu, what do you mean it's not the right time? Could it be... that you think it's not the time for romance because we're at war?"
Chu Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then blurted out.
"That's true, now is indeed not the right time. So, Yu-ge, you do like my sister, right?"
Upon reaching this conclusion, Chu Yichen was overjoyed, his excitement overflowing, and he even unconsciously increased the pressure on his hands.
Ji Moyu raised his shoulders slightly, neither denying nor admitting it.
"Hehe, sorry!" Chu Yichen quickly lowered his arm. "Brother Yu, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!"
Ji Moyu lowered his eyes, looking at the smug and smug young man in front of him, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
That's fine too.
That's why someone in the province is always having wild thoughts!
The group of people gradually returned to their tents, while on the other side, Puyang Minghui was racking her brains trying to figure out how to return the things she was holding.
After another round of intense tug-of-war, she finally accepted their gift and some snacks, feeling utterly exhausted.
Helian Wence: "Minghui, you've just arrived. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime. I've been here for a while now and I'm pretty familiar with the place."
Liu Yan snorted lightly, "Come to me. I know this place best. Whatever you need, I'll make sure you're satisfied."
Song Yuze smiled gently, and his words instantly captivated the two of them, "Minghui, I'll go ask my father later to see if we can be arranged to fight together. I'll definitely protect you and make sure you don't get hurt."
Upon hearing this, Helian Wenting became anxious, "Song Yuze, are you trying to get General Song to show favoritism for you?"
"It's a small matter, it won't affect the overall situation, so why not?"
Song Yuze maintained his gentle demeanor, which infuriated the others to the point that their fists hardened.
Don't be like Song Yuze; that guy is just too much of a scoundrel.
Finally, Puyang Minghui returned to the tent, utterly exhausted and with a look of utter despair.
"Qiu Chi, Xing Yao, I feel like I'll never be happy again!"
Look how much trouble the child has gone through. I feel sorry for him, but I also feel like laughing at the same time.
Chu Qiuchi pursed his lips, forcibly suppressing his laughter. After a few seconds, he finally offered words of comfort.
“Our Minghui is so pretty and cute, it’s good that they like you. Don’t feel pressured, you’re still young, there’s no rush.”
She paused, then smiled. "I think your fiancé is quite handsome, tall and strong, with a determined look. He's definitely got the makings of a general, with a bright future ahead of him. He's also very attentive to you; as soon as he heard you were here, he rushed over to see you."
Puyang Minghui lay stiffly on the bed, her eyes lifeless. "It's because he's going to be a general and stationed in the war zone for a long time that I'm a little resistant to this marriage."
She sighed helplessly, "I want to find someone who can fight alongside me and chat with me about the world anytime. But he can't do that. I don't want to force him to give up his principles for me, nor do I want to wrong myself."
Chu Qiuchi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Minghui, I didn't expect you to be so mature for your age!"
"Well, there's nothing wrong with your idea. After all, it's better to find someone you can always be by your side, someone you can see and touch, than to have a marriage where you feel like you're widowed. Of course, the premise is that their character is up to standard."
Chu Yichen frowned, somewhat puzzled. "Have you never thought about joining the army in the future?"
"I enjoy studying potions, and in the future I want to become an alchemy master like my grandfather. I don't want to join the army."
The tent fell silent instantly, and one word involuntarily surfaced in everyone's mind—"future".
Nalan Xingyao's mind conjured up images of her father's busy figure and the greedy faces of her second uncle and aunt.
Ji Moyu then thought of his mother, who was still asleep.
Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen exchanged a glance, a touch of nostalgia rising in their hearts; they were homesick.
