The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Lou Yunsi couldn't sleep. She was still thinking about the discussion about the general during the day. She unconsciously thought of Guard Fan. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she couldn't sleep at night. She had never seen the general, but instead saw the personal guard beside the general. She had a special feeling for Guard Fan and felt distressed when she thought about it.

Suddenly, Lou Yunsi saw a flash of lightning passing by the bed, and then heard the rumbling sound of thunder. Oh my God! Lightning and thunder!

Lou Yunsi thought to herself: Hey, what’s going on? After the last lightning and thunder, I thought I wouldn’t be scared anymore, but why is it still so scary?

Lou Yunsi sat up and saw another flash of lightning passing by the window. This time the thunder was even louder. People say that lightning and thunder will cause accidents! How scary!

Lou Yunsi hugged the quilt and curled up in the corner of the bed, her body shaking unconsciously. Lou Yunsi thought that when she was in another world, as long as her mother was at home, she would come and hug her. She missed her mother and couldn't help but shed tears.

Fan Ziren had already lay down at this time, and was awakened by the lightning and thunder. As if he thought of something, he quickly got dressed, took his umbrella, pushed the door open and went out. This time he did not call Li Shenning and Xiao Shenk to go out together, he went out alone.

If it were usual, lightning and thunder would not affect Fan Ziren's sleep. This time, Fan Ziren thought of what Lou Yunsi said, that she was afraid of lightning and thunder. Last time, she went to look for him because of the lightning and thunder, but couldn't find him and even fell. This time it was Fan Ziren's turn to look for her in person.

When they arrived at the gate of Lou Yunsi's villa, they found that Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke had also rushed over. It turned out that the two of them also thought of what Lou Yunsi had said about Shanghai style lightning and thunder. The three of them looked at each other, and Fan Ziren said to Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke: "You two go back, I can go in alone."

Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke understood what Fan Ziren said and immediately retreated.

Fan Ziren came to the door of Lou Yunsi's room and knocked gently. At this time, Lou Yunsi was holding the quilt at the foot of the bed, covering her head, curled up in fear. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door and became even more frightened.

Lou Yunsi thought: I can’t be so unlucky, is there a ghost? No, please, let me fall asleep right now.

After a while, there was another knock on the door. Lou Yunsi was so scared that her heart almost jumped out. She hugged the quilt tightly, clasped her fingers together, and pretended to pray to God.

Lou Yunsi muttered, "Please, please, ghosts and snakes, don't come looking for me. I'm not smart or beautiful. If you want to find someone, go find someone else. I'm not delicious either. I'm very thin and don't have much meat."

Fan Ziren seemed to hear Lou Yunsi mumbling inside, so he called out softly: "Madam, it's me, Guard Fan!"

Eh? Lou Yunsi seemed to hear Guard Fan's voice and thought: Lou Yunsi, Lou Yunsi, at this time, you are still thinking about Guard Fan, he is about to die.

Seeing no response from inside, Fan Ziren called out again, "Madam, are you okay? I'm Guard Fan, I came to see you!"

This time Lou Yunsi heard it clearly. It was indeed Guard Fan's voice. Lou Yunsi quickly dropped the quilt in her hand, jumped off the bed, and opened the door.

When Fan Ziren saw Lou Yunsi open the door, he looked up and found that Lou Yunsi was wearing thin clothes, her hair was disheveled, and there were traces of tears in her eyes. He felt distressed and wanted to go forward and hug her, but with his current status, if he suddenly hugged her, she would be scared. He could only stand in front of her and look at her quietly.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed before his eyes, and thunder rumbled across the sky. Lou Yunsi was so scared that she trembled, and Fan Ziren quickly hugged her into his arms.

Lou Yunsi felt that this embrace was very warm and she didn't want to let go. She thought: It was like a mother's warm embrace, but with a little more security.

Fan Ziren hugged Lou Yunsi, feeling happy, and thought: Should I tell her my identity now, but she might think I am deceiving her. I should keep it secret for now and wait until the right time.

Lou Yunsi suddenly thought that something seemed inappropriate and that it was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, so she quickly moved away. Fan Ziren was suddenly pushed away and also thought that this was not appropriate. The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.

Fan Ziren took off his cloak, put it on Lou Yunsi, and tied it for her personally. The moment Fan Ziren approached, Lou Yunsi's heart began beating faster.

After Fan Ziren put the cloak on Lou Yunsi, he said, "Madam, don't be afraid. I'll be guarding at the door. If you are scared, call me and I will talk to you."

Lou Yunsi was inexplicably moved after hearing this, and asked curiously, "Guard Fan, why are you here? It's so late, does the general have any mission for you to carry out?"

Fan Ziren answered truthfully: "No, I heard you mention that you were afraid of thunder and lightning before, and I was awakened by the thunder and lightning, so I came to see you."

Lou Yunsi opened her eyes wide and looked at Guard Fan in front of her. The breeze blew past her, and her deep eyes and handsome face made people unable to help but be moved.

Lou Yunsi thought: Damn it, could it be that I have fallen in love with the man in front of me, bah! I'd better stop imagining, I'm already married to the general, I'm the general's wife, I can't cheat on the general, what if the general comes with a big knife to chop me?

Fan Ziren was afraid that Lou Yunsi might misunderstand him, so he explained, "Li Shenning, Xiao Shenke, I take turns to keep watch at the General's Villa at night. It happened to be my turn tonight. When I saw the lightning and thunder, I suddenly remembered that I often came to the Villa to bother you during this period of time, but I didn't do anything for you. So I came to see you and act as your guardian. I can finally do something for you."

Lou Yunsi felt a little disappointed after hearing Fan Ziren's explanation. She thought he really came for her. Lou Yunsi thought: Forget it, it's better if Guard Fan doesn't have that intention, so I don't have to think too much.

A cool breeze blew, and one could feel a hint of chill in the rainy night. Fan Ziren gave the cloak to Lou Yunsi. Lou Yunsi thought: How long will Guard Fan have to guard the door? What if he catches a cold?

Lou Yunsi said to Fan Ziren, "Guardian Fan, would you please come in and sit down?"

Fan Ziren said in surprise: "Ah? This is your boudoir, I'd better guard outside the door!"

Seeing Fan Ziren's surprised look, Lou Yunsi said, "Guard Fan, don't get me wrong. I know everyone says that men and women shouldn't touch each other, but we didn't do anything, so we're not afraid of what others might say. It's going to rain tonight, so it will be even cooler. You gave me your cloak, and you'll easily catch a cold if you stay outside the door."

Fan Ziren insisted, "It's okay. I occasionally keep watch, so I'm in good health. I won't be weak."

Lou Yunsi advised, "No matter how strong a person's body is, he will get sick sometimes. Are you afraid that I will eat you? I am not a tiger or a beast. I am just a weak woman, not a demon or a ghost that can seduce people. Don't worry."

"But, I..." Before Fan Ziren could finish his words, Lou Yunsi pulled Fan Ziren's clothes and walked into Lou Yunsi's room.

Fan Ziren looked around. It was a very simple room. There was only a cabinet, a table, and a screen. He then looked behind the screen. There was only a bed. The quilt on the bed looked very thin. He wondered why his Sixth Wife was living in such poverty.

Seeing Fan Ziren looking around all the time, Lou Yunsi said, "There's nothing good to see here. If you want to see good things, the first and second wives' places are good. I heard Miss Hu's place is not bad either."

Fan Ziren looked at the optimistic woman in front of him with eyes full of heartache.
