Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes
Chapter 130: The General’s Pet (11)
The only sound left in the quiet space was the sound of breathing. One of them was lying on the bed, the other on the floor, staring at each other with wide eyes. After a moment, they moved. Pei Sichen stood up, his usually stern face now showing a hint of embarrassment. He coughed lightly and turned to go to the bathroom. "I'm going to wash up. You...you should sleep a little longer. It's still early."
Lian Qingyang nodded blankly, then obediently fell back into the quilt, turned over and closed his eyes, but a smile was on his face.
Two hours had passed before the two of them had finished cleaning up. Lian Qingyang yawned as he sat at the dining table, staring blankly at Pei Sichen as he placed the rice bowls and plates. He raised his hand to take the chopsticks he handed over, picked up the food and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Where are you going today?" Pei Sichen was in a much better mood seeing that he was enjoying his meal, so he asked while picking up some food.
Lian Qingyang seemed to have thought it through long ago, and subconsciously said, "Go home."
Pei Sichen paused, chewing his food dryly and looking up at him. His Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his eyes, pretending to be indifferent: "Why don't you stay here for a few more days? There's a guest room next to my bedroom. After dinner, just hang the bedding out to dry."
Lian Qingyang shook his head, put down his chopsticks, covered his mouth with his hands and burped, then leaned back in his chair and looked at the person across from him who was busy eating. He said naturally, "I'm sorry to bother you with taking care of me during this period, but I've recovered now, and there's no reason for me to stay here any longer."
Seeing Pei Sichen's head drooping lower, Lian Qingyang curled his lips, then straightened them, and continued, "Besides, it was my eldest brother who asked me to go home this time. He was worried about what happened before, and I declined the day before yesterday. It's not good not to go back today."
Pei Sichen didn't move, and it was unknown what he was thinking. After a while, he looked up expressionlessly, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into the rice bowl as if nothing had happened, and said, "Going back to the Lian family? It's time to go back, but your eldest brother is usually busy and probably can't take care of you on weekdays."
Not hearing Lian Qingyang's voice, Pei Sichen glanced at him, lowered his eyes, and added, "Your place isn't cleaned up, so the furniture and supplies probably won't be easy to use right away. Anyway, I have a place to stay here. You've lived here for a long time, and I'm afraid I'd be a little uncomfortable if you left."
Lian Qingyang pretended to think for a moment, and when Pei Sichen couldn't help but look up at him, he nodded reluctantly, "That's fine. I won't be going to the lab often anyway. It doesn't matter where I am. As long as you don't feel like I'm disturbing you, that's fine."
Pei Sichen suppressed the inexplicable joy in his heart and elegantly finished the last bite of rice in the bowl. After finishing, he stood up with a calm expression to clean up the dishes, and still refused to let Lian Qingyang help.
He carried the dishes to the kitchen with both hands. The glass door automatically closed, hiding the man's figure. Pei Sichen didn't plan to use the smart dishwasher. He placed the empty dishes in the sink and turned on the faucet. The gurgling sound of water covered his low, happy smile.
Lian Qingyang sat on the sofa, turned the virtual TV screen in front of him to the home surveillance, clicked on the window in the kitchen, folded his arms and leaned back, watching Pei Sichen standing in front of the sink washing dishes with a smile on his face and laughing secretly.
After washing, Pei Sichen hummed a song while wiping his hands, lowered his head to straighten his clothes, wiped his face, and returned to his usual appearance. He walked out of the kitchen with steady steps, subconsciously looking for Lian Qingyang's figure, and found that he was actually sitting on the sofa watching the kitchen surveillance.
Pei Sichen:!!!!!!
Lian Qingyang heard the noise, turned around, put his hands on the back of the sofa, tilted his head and rested it on his arms, looked at Pei Sichen who was frozen in place, raised an eyebrow and said teasingly: "I didn't expect that General Pei has such a good acting talent."
"I suddenly remembered that Yue Yihan has something to talk to me about. I'll go to the training camp first. Let me know when you leave." Pei Sichen's ears turned red, his face became colder, and he strode out of the house and left.
Lian Qingyang waited until he left before he burst into laughter, and even played the kitchen footage over and over again.

Night had fallen. Pei Sichen pushed open the door of his house, and the smart housekeeper automatically turned on the lights in the living room. He looked around and sighed softly. He had never felt so lonely before, but now he felt that everywhere was quiet.
It was not too late yet, and Pei Sichen went to the study to work after taking a shower. He did not lie, Yue Yihan did have something to talk to him about today, saying that the chief commander of the military academy had found a job for him with the Star Lord. This year, the Third Legion would be the first to select students from the military academy who could join the legion, and asked him to go to the military academy for selection in three days, and he would decide the selection method.
Pei Sichen used to be an assistant special training instructor in the military academy. At that time, the military academy still had a unified selection process, allowing a group of qualified graduates to be evenly divided into the five major legions. Unexpectedly, this year their legion would be the first to be selected. I don’t know if the commander-in-chief and the star lord thought about the ideas of the generals of other legions when discussing. But even if they did, they would not care. Those people would never make things difficult for them.
Thinking of this, Pei Sichen raised his hand and rubbed his temple. He was not afraid that those old guys would secretly make trouble for him. The Wu family has always been a family of generals that values strength and would never bother to do anything crooked. He was just afraid that those guys would want to introduce their daughters to him again.
He now understands his own feelings, but because of the apparent boundary between the Pei and Lian families, he cannot express his feelings to those people now. He plans to meet the Star Lord in person after selecting the soldiers this time and tell him his thoughts.
Pei Sichen was a bit busy the next day, and he felt a little uncomfortable after Lian Qingyang found out that he was two-faced, so he resisted contacting Lian Qingyang. But when he had some free time after washing up in the evening, he couldn't help but send a video call request, and the other party answered within two seconds.
A clear voice then sounded: "What's wrong?"
Pei Sichen's brows relaxed when he heard the voice, but when he saw the background behind the person opposite him, he asked in dissatisfaction: "Why are you still in the lab? Have you had dinner?"
Lian Qingyang's hands kept moving as he glanced at the people on the video. He explained with a complaining tone, "After I got home yesterday, Big Brother called me into his study and questioned me for over two hours. He then called me over again in the afternoon to chat. Today, I was afraid he might come to see me again, so I came to the lab early this morning. I had a simple dinner, which was quite filling, so I'm not hungry yet."
Since this matter involved his "future brother-in-law," Pei Sichen felt unhappy but couldn't say anything. His face was serious, yet he harbored selfish motives. He stood up and said in a muffled voice, "I'll pick you up. This place is closer to the lab than your home."
Fearing that he would hear Lian Qingyang's rejection, Pei Sichen quickly said, "I'll hang up first, wait for me inside," and then hung up the video. He put on his clothes and shoes, walked out the door briskly, and after getting in the car, he did not forget to order food and porridge so that they could have a midnight snack when they came back.
