Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

"Restrictions?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Qian Jue explained, "You don't belong to that world, so it will naturally reject your presence. As an outsider, there are rules limiting how long you can stay."

"Are you saying I can't remain in that world for long periods?" Qin Yuchuan inquired.

Qian Jue replied, "That's how it is for now. But when Guang'an returns, these issues can be resolved. It's because of him that we're able to live comfortably in this world."

"I came here specifically to help you. I'm sure that girl hasn't told you many things, or if she has, you haven't had time to take care of them. For example, the documents you'll need in her world."

"These things are essential for surviving in that world. Of course, there's also housing, money, and such. I'm here to help you sort out all of these matters."

Qin Yuchuan had heard about these things from Feng Qingyi, but they indeed hadn't had time to address them. Now, having someone to help would save a lot of trouble.

"Thank you for that. Should we go now, or...?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Remembering his last experience of being transported to the time rift, Qian Jue quickly shook his head. He didn't want to spend days in that place again.

"You go over first, and I'll come find you soon," he said.

Although Qin Yuchuan wanted to ask how he should get there, he figured that since Guang'an had sent Qian Jue, he must have his methods.

In the villa's living room, Qin Yuchuan sat waiting for Qian Jue's arrival.

Soon, a young man in a black suit with neatly combed short hair appeared in the living room.

His face was strikingly handsome, with a high bridge nose, narrow eyes, and a piercing gaze that exuded authority.

"What, you don't recognize me in different clothes?" Qian Jue said.

Qin Yuchuan had heard Feng Qingyi mention Qian Jue before, but she never said he was so young. In her description, he seemed more like an elderly man.

Qian Jue was quite pleased with his appearance. "That girl always wanted to see my true form, but I never let her. Consider yourself lucky today."

"..." Qin Yuchuan thought, what's so great about seeing another man?

Seeing that Qin Yuchuan wasn't responding, Qian Jue said, "Since we're here, let's go!"

Qin Yuchuan noticed that Qian Jue seemed very familiar with this world, as if he had lived here for a long time.

In one day, Qian Jue helped Qin Yuchuan obtain all the necessary documents and property deeds.

Finally, Qian Jue took Qin Yuchuan to a mobile phone store.

"Now that you have an ID, you should buy a phone and get a SIM card. Your current phone can only contact that girl. You can't just communicate with her alone in the future."

Qin Yuchuan looked at him blankly, wondering why he needed a SIM card for the phone.

"Alright, I know you don't understand any of this. I'll help you," Qian Jue said.

After buying the phone and setting up the SIM card, Qian Jue checked the time on the phone. "It's getting late. What's that girl's phone number? Let's have her come pick us up and treat us to dinner."

"Phone number?" Qin Yuchuan asked, confused.

Qian Jue sighed, "Never mind. Use your old phone to contact her. How long have you been together, and you don't even know her number?"

Qin Yuchuan suggested, "Let's go pick her up from work."

"...Why should I pick her up from work?" Qian Jue protested. He wondered if he had come here to be a butler, after all the help he'd provided with documents and housing.

Qin Yuchuan explained, "I've been picking her up from work all this time. If I don't go today, she'll feel uncomfortable."

"...Uncomfortable? How old is she? It's not like she'll get lost," Qian Jue grumbled, but he still hailed a taxi at the roadside.

The two waited outside Feng Qingyi's company building, attracting attention from people entering and leaving the office. One in a long robe with black hair, the other in a suit – they were quite eye-catching.

"We've been waiting here for a quarter of an hour. Can't you urge her to hurry up? Why isn't she down yet?" Qian Jue complained.

Qin Yuchuan remained calm, "It's still early. Let's wait a bit longer."

"Is that phone just for show? Can't you send her a message asking when she'll be down? It's almost 5:30 already."

Qin Yuchuan held his phone, "She probably has some urgent work to finish. If she's not down by 5:30, I'll contact her."

"..." Qian Jue thought, why are people in relationships so stubborn these days? Just send a message saying you're waiting downstairs, and she'll hurry to finish her work and come down.

After a few more minutes, Feng Qingyi came out with some colleagues.

"Qingyi, your boyfriend is here to pick you up again. Hurry over, don't keep him waiting," one of them said.

Feng Qingyi saw Qin Yuchuan and smiled, saying to her colleagues, "I'll head over then. See you tomorrow."

She quickly walked to Qin Yuchuan's side. "Sorry to keep you waiting. We just had a short meeting that just ended. What would you like to eat tonight?"

Qin Yuchuan pointed to Qian Jue beside him, "We might need to include him today."

Feng Qingyi only then noticed Qian Jue, "Who is he? A new friend of yours?"

Hearing Feng Qingyi's words, Qian Jue retorted, "Your eyesight really isn't very good!"

Recognizing his voice, Feng Qingyi quickly realized, "Oh, so this is what you look like!"

"I've been busy helping your man here all day. You're treating us to dinner tonight," Qian Jue said bluntly.

Feng Qingyi agreed, "Alright, my treat. What would you like to eat?"

Qian Jue thought for a moment, "Let's have fried chicken, fries, and cola."

"...How old are you to still eat such junk food?" Feng Qingyi couldn't remember how many times she had brought him fried chicken before.

Qian Jue retorted, "You said you'd treat, so don't complain. I see a fried chicken place right ahead."

Feng Qingyi had thought that since she'd known Qian Jue for so long and he rarely visited, she should treat him to something nice. Who knew he'd have such simple tastes, saving her money.

"Fine, let's go then!" she agreed.

In the fried chicken restaurant, the three found a table and sat down to order.

As Feng Qingyi was about to look at the menu, Qian Jue had already ordered and handed the menu back to the waiter.

"What did you order?" she asked.

Qian Jue replied, "Everything they have. Don't worry, there's enough for you two."

Feng Qingyi asked, "You said you were busy with Yuchuan all day. What did you do?"

Qin Yuchuan handed Feng Qingyi the plastic bag he was holding, "These are for you."

Feng Qingyi took the bag and pulled out the contents. She was surprised to see a stack of property deeds. "Did you two go buy houses today?"

Qian Jue nodded, "He thought the place here was too small compared to his General's Mansion, so he bought several more, including some luxury villas."

"He was about to buy entire buildings. If I hadn't stopped him, the money he put in the bank card might have been gone before it even got warm."

Feng Qingyi asked, "Where did all this money come from?"

"Naturally, from his mansion. He converted a portion of it. Don't worry, buying these few houses is far from enough to bankrupt his large General's Mansion," Qian Jue explained.

Feng Qingyi put the property deeds back in the plastic bag and handed it to Qin Yuchuan, "You should keep these yourself."

Qin Yuchuan didn't take them, "These are all for you."

"...All for me?" She was taken aback by his generosity.

Qin Yuchuan nodded, "You mentioned wanting to buy a house in this area before. There's one here that's only a ten-minute walk from your office. You can sleep in a bit longer in the mornings now. You can do whatever you want with the other properties."

Feng Qingyi hadn't expected him to remember her casual remark and act on it so quickly.

"Let's go take a look when we have time," she said.

Just then, the waiter brought the fried chicken. The four-person table was filled to capacity, with some dishes unable to fit.

The waiter looked at the adjacent table and suggested, "Why don't you split up? I can put these on the table next to you."

Feng Qingyi quickly moved with Qin Yuchuan to the nearby seats, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble!"

Qian Jue had already started eating heartily, clearly enjoying himself.

Feng Qingyi pushed the fried chicken in front of her towards Qin Yuchuan, "You eat this. I'll just have some fries."

"Aren't there any chopsticks?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi put the plastic gloves on Qin Yuchuan's hands, "Just eat with your hands like this."

Qin Yuchuan looked around and, seeing that everyone else was eating the same way, reached out to take a piece of fried chicken.

Feng Qingyi watched him, "Is it good?"

"It's alright. You should try some too." Qin Yuchuan picked up a piece and handed it to Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi bit into the piece of fried chicken Qin Yuchuan gave her, "It does seem quite good."

"Then finish this piece."

After Feng Qingyi and Qin Yuchuan finished eating, they looked at Qian Jue at the table next to them. Several servings of fried chicken were now completely gone, and he was still drinking cola.

"Are you not going to eat the rest on your table?"

Feng Qingyi nodded, "Mm, I'm full."

Qian Jue picked up their leftover fried chicken, "Since you're not eating it, I'll have it. You go pay!"

Feng Qingyi: "Alright, we'll go pay first. Hurry up."

After paying the bill, the two walked out of the fried chicken shop. Feng Qingyi noticed the street lights had come on, "Wait for him here, I'll go get the car."

"Okay, be careful," Qin Yuchuan said.

Feng Qingyi walked to the company parking lot and drove the car out. After the two got in, she drove towards the direction of the villa.

Just as the car was about to pull into the garage, a sudden flash of bright white light appeared, and Feng Qingyi found darkness all around.

She turned to look at Qin Yuchuan, "Where are we?"

Qin Yuchuan looked outside, "This looks like Shengjing."

"...What's going on? We didn't use a teleportation array!"

Feng Qingyi turned to look at the back seat. Qian Jue was leaning against the backrest, seemingly asleep.

"Qian Jue, wake up! Did you do this? You even brought my car over!"

Qian Jue in the back seat opened his eyes, "We're here!"

"What do you mean 'here'? How did we suddenly end up in Shengjing, and with my car too?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Qian Jue took out the stone from his pocket; sure enough, it was no longer glowing.
