Feng Qingyi walked slowly towards Qin Yuchuan, handing him her phone. "Look, I just took a picture."

"Why did you take a picture of me?" Qin Yuchuan asked, looking at the image on the phone.

Feng Qingyi looked at him innocently. "Because you're handsome."

"Do you like it?" Qin Yuchuan asked again.

Feng Qingyi's mind didn't catch on. "I like it."

After saying that, Feng Qingyi covered her mouth, realizing what she had just said.

A slight smile appeared on Qin Yuchuan's lips.

Feng Qingyi was a little dazed, as she rarely saw him smile.

When he smiled, it seemed as if the ice and snow around him melted, the cold indifference dispersed, and his whole being radiated warmth.

"Are you laughing at me?"

Although his smile was incredibly charming, she still felt that he was mocking her.

"Of course not, you little lady are so adorable!"

She wouldn't think that she had been secretly watching him all along, and he hadn't noticed, would she?

She never tried to hide herself; he was just playing along.

"I'm not a little lady anymore, I'm an adult now," Feng Qingyi protested.

Qin Yuchuan handed the phone back to her. "If you like it... I don't mind you taking pictures openly."

"...I don't." Did she have no shame?

Feng Qingyi took back the phone, sat down on the chair again, and picked up a book.

Qin Yuchuan also continued reading.

In the living room, Yan Chi and Yan Yang were engrossed in watching 'The Boonie Bears' cartoon.

Yan Yang: "Why don't these two bears let Bald Guy cut down trees?"

"...Just watch, why so many questions?" Yan Chi didn't understand either - can't trees be cut down in this world?

Yan Yang: "Okay! But what do you think the General and Miss Qingyi are doing upstairs?"

"How would I know?" Yan Chi felt that Yan Yang talked too much and was annoying.

"I'm just asking." Was there a need for such a big reaction?

Yan Chi looked at Yan Yang beside him, whose eyes were glued to the TV. He felt that Yan Yang had a big heart.

"Aren't you worried about how we'll get back?"

Yan Yang remained calm. "What's there to worry about? With the General around, he'll naturally find a way for us to go back."

"If even he can't figure it out, what can we do? We might as well start building a good relationship with Miss Qingyi, so she can take care of us in the future."

Yan Chi had nothing to say - Yan Yang's mindset was quite high.

...

At 3:30 pm, Feng Qingyi led Qin Yuchuan out of the villa gates.

It was still scorching hot in the Capital City in October, and Qin Yuchuan walked beside Feng Qingyi, shielding her from some of the sun's rays.

"It's still early, why don't I take you around for a bit?"

Qin Yuchuan agreed, "As you wish."

Outside the villa, the road was deserted, lined with lush crape myrtle trees.

"I think when it's around April or May, and the crape myrtles bloom, this place will look beautiful."

Feng Qingyi only now noticed that the road was lined with crape myrtle trees.

Qin Yuchuan: "Do you really like crape myrtles?"

"Yes! Especially when they're in bloom, in my heart, they surpass cherry blossoms and peonies."

The crape myrtle symbolizes parting, homesickness, and bitter love, but she didn't see it that way. It was beautiful, loved the sun, and had strong adaptability - truly a celestial flower.

Qin Yuchuan silently made a note - it seemed there were also crape myrtles in Shengjing. If she liked them, he could transplant a few at home.

He hoped that by the time the crape myrtles bloomed, she would already be by his side.

"You're as beautiful and noble as the crape myrtle."

Feng Qingyi slowed her pace. "Why are you complimenting me so much today!"

"Have I?" Qin Yuchuan asked back.

Feng Qingyi: "Alright, stop it, if you keep praising me, I'll get too full of myself."

They walked through the quiet, shaded path and entered a bustling main street.

The street lamps and storefront signs were all adorned with red flags as far as the eye could see.

The road was filled with streams of vehicles rushing by, and pedestrians hurrying along.

Although Qin Yuchuan had seen such scenes on his phone, nothing could be more striking than witnessing it in person.

This was an entirely different world, and he felt a sense of awe.

"Qingyi, why are there so many red flags?"

Feng Qingyi explained, "I told you before, today is our country's birthday, and these are our national flags."

"In fact, many years ago, we were also an oppressed and bullied country. It was our ancestors who used their blood to exchange for this new and powerful nation."

"For all their sacrifices, we will always remember, and I'm grateful to have been born in this land."

Qin Yuchuan suddenly felt a tinge of envy - this powerful nation was something even the Tianqi Dynasty could not achieve after hundreds or thousands of years.

"There's a milk tea shop here, let's go get some drinks."

Feng Qingyi grabbed Qin Yuchuan's sleeve and entered the milk tea shop.

"Shop Owner, two iced lemon waters please."

"Sure, sure." The Shop Owner stared at Qin Yuchuan for a while before making the lemon waters.

How could there be someone so good-looking in this world? Too bad he had a girlfriend, and his girlfriend was also very beautiful.

After Feng Qingyi paid, she handed a lemon water to Qin Yuchuan.

"Drink this! We'll walk around the area some more."

Feng Qingyi happily led the way. As they passed a men's clothing store, Feng Qingyi turned to look at Qin Yuchuan behind her.

She didn't know how long he would stay here, but she should buy him a few outfits - he couldn't wear the same clothes every day.

Without asking Qin Yuchuan's opinion, Feng Qingyi pulled him into the clothing store.

"You can't keep wearing the same outfit, I'll buy you a few sets."

Qin Yuchuan intended to refuse, but seeing his sleeve held by Feng Qingyi, he nodded slightly.

Inside the store, Feng Qingyi looked around and handed Qin Yuchuan a black suit.

"The fitting room is here, go try this on!"

Qin Yuchuan took the clothes and was ushered into the changing room by Feng Qingyi.

After a long while, Qin Yuchuan finally came out in the new outfit.

Feng Qingyi was dumbstruck - how could someone look so dashing in a suit with long hair? A perfect aloof CEO straight out of a romance novel.

"Is there a problem?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

"No...no problem, why don't you try this more casual set as well!"

Feng Qingyi quickly handed Qin Yuchuan another outfit.

Qin Yuchuan took the clothes and entered the fitting room again. This time when he came out, Feng Qingyi had developed a slight immunity.

She had chosen a casual sports outfit for him, which made Qin Yuchuan look very youthful and energetic when he put it on.

Feng Qingyi became addicted to picking out clothes for Qin Yuchuan and selected several more outfits for him to try on.

Seeing that Feng Qingyi was very interested, Qin Yuchuan didn't refuse and changed into whatever she handed him.

Feng Qingyi felt the joy of playing the clothes changing game, reminiscent of the feeling she had when picking outfits for Li Zeyan.
