Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 295 A Moment's Thought Across Mountains and Rivers 14

At night, Chu Yuebai lay in bed watching dramas on her tablet while waiting for someone.

Not long after, the door was pushed open and Qian Zhao walked in.

Judging from his damp clothes, he must have just come over after taking a shower.

Chu Yuebai curled the corners of her lips, patted the bed, and said, "Sit here."

Qian Zhao paused for a moment, then walked to the spot she had indicated and sat down. Chu Yuebai went over and lay down on him, holding her tablet, intending to watch the episode of the TV series first.

"What is this?" Qian Zhao put one arm around her and looked at the scene inside with her.

Chu Yuebai casually said, "It's a magical thing that I obtained by accident."

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhao stopped asking questions and watched with her. However, aside from being initially surprised by the images, he focused his attention on Chu Yuebai.

From his perspective, she was leaning against him with her hair down, intently looking at what she was holding.

With their bodies pressed close together, it was hard for him not to think about other things; he felt his self-control was weak when he was with her.

Qian Zhao, with his arm around her waist, lifted her up with a slight force. Chu Yuebai turned her head in confusion and was kissed by him.

She simply turned off the tablet, put her arms around his neck, and began to respond.

The two kissed and gradually fell onto the bed, and Chu Yuebai waved to extinguish the candles.

The room darkened, clothes billowed in the air, and finally fell to the ground.

……

The next day, Chu Yuebai came out of the room and saw Yang Ying and Ren Ruyi talking on the second-floor terrace.

Upon seeing her, Ren Ruyi waved for her to come up.

Chu Yuebai flew up, sat down, and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

“We were saying that I want to see the baby that Sister Ruyi and Brother Yuanzhou will have in the future,” Yang Ying said with a smile.

"Isn't that just a matter of time? But I heard that Marquis Changqing is pursuing you recently?" Chu Yuebai looked at Ren Ruyi and teased.

“He was my former disciple. After he appeared, Ning Yuanzhou inexplicably became jealous,” Ren Ruyi said.

"The emotional turmoil between you two has lasted quite a while," Chu Yuebai said with a smile.

Yang Ying asked curiously, "Sister Yuebai, how come you and Commandant Qian had such a smooth relationship?"

Ren Ruyi also looked over. Although she had said before that everyone has a different temperament and therefore thinks differently, she was still curious.

Seeing their curiosity, Chu Yuebai smiled and said, "Of course I'm decisive. If I like something, I'll take it. And as long as I'm happy, I don't care about anything else. But maybe Qian Zhao is just suited to this approach."

Ren Ruyi and Yang Ying seemed to understand something, and finally they both nodded: "You're amazing!"

Over there, Ning Yuanzhou was also asking Qian Zhao, "How come you two got together so smoothly without any twists and turns?"

Qian Zhao was also thinking about this question. As he thought about it, he thought of Chu Yuebai and unconsciously smiled: "Actually, I don't know either. I guess I won't upset her."

Ning Yuanzhou rolled his eyes. This was blatant showing off.

Yu Shisan, who was standing next to him, said, "I can tell from your appearance that you guys just don't understand."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuanzhou and Qian Zhao looked at him and asked, "Then tell me what happened?"

Yu Shisan said with a smile, "Because, Lao Qian, you met the shrewd and intelligent Chu Meiren. She is free-spirited, decisive, and unrestrained, making you feel relaxed when you're with her."

"And then?" Qian Zhao asked.

"Then, Lao Qian, tell me, doesn't she always make you feel pleasure and make you fall deeper and deeper in love?" Yu Shisan looked at Qian Zhao with certainty.

Qian Zhao thought about it. She did always seem lazy, but she would often tease him, and he could never control his heart from racing in front of her.

He nodded: "Yes, you're right."

Yu Shisan clapped his hands: "See, I told you so."

"What about me and Ruyi?" Ning Yuanzhou asked.

The two turned to look at him, and Yu Shisan said, "You two, Lao Ning, you were too worried and pretended to be serious at first. Meiren is more simple and direct in these matters. You are both novices, and you are slowly figuring things out. There will definitely be various things that need to be worked out."

Ning Yuanzhou seemed to be deep in thought when Qian Zhao spoke up, "They're beginners, but aren't I one too?"

Yu Shisan paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Old Qian, although you're also a newbie, I always feel that Chu Meiren is more at ease than you. With her around, you can't cause any trouble even if you want to."

Qian Zhao also began to think that Chu Yuebai was indeed quite carefree in these aspects, and she also possessed a charm that he couldn't resist.

"You mean she has experience?" Qian Zhao asked back.

Yu Shisan quickly shook his head: "I didn't say that. I just said that she has a keen mind in this regard, and you are calm and composed."

Qian Zhao thought for a moment and then said, "I'll go and get busy now!"

After he left, Yu Shisan leaned closer to Ning Yuanzhou: "Did I say something wrong?"

"What do you think? I bet Qian Zhao is overthinking it!" Ning Yuanzhou rolled his eyes at him.

Xiao Qi overheard the conversation and told Chu Yuebai, "Host, you're about to crash and burn!"

Chu Yuebai calmly said, "It can't be reversed. There's no one else in my world. Just explain it, and it can even strengthen our relationship."

"Host, come on!"

Qian Zhao walked outside and looked at the people speaking upstairs. Chu Yuebai sensed something and looked over as well.

She turned to Ren Ruyi and the other person and said, "I'll go down first!"

"Go ahead, Brother Qian is looking for you!" The two men saw the people below and smiled at her.

Chu Yuebai smiled, leaped down, and landed in front of Qian Zhao: "You were looking for me?"

Qian Zhao nodded, took her hand, and turned to walk to the side: "Come with me!"

Chu Yuebai glanced at him, surprised that this person didn't hold back and could directly ask her.

Has her reserved nature become more direct, influenced by her?

Once they reached a secluded spot, Qian Zhao released her hand, lowered his eyes, and said, "If we can successfully return to Wu Kingdom this time, I want to marry you."

Chu Yuebai paused, not expecting him to bring this up. Not hearing her reply, Qian Zhao looked at her and asked, "You don't want to?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that you suddenly brought this up."

“I want to marry you, and given our current situation, I should also take responsibility for you,” Qian Zhao said earnestly.

Chu Yuebai nodded, smiled, and pinched his cheek, saying, "Okay, then I'll wait for you!"

Qian Zhao smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

This must be what Yu Shisan meant when he said she was capable and at ease; even with something like this, she could still agree decisively and calmly.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever had someone you liked before?"

Finally speaking, a smile flashed in Chu Yuebai's eyes: "No, why would you ask that?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhao's heart, which had been pounding, instantly relaxed a little: "Have you ever teased anyone else?"

"What are you thinking? I only tease people I like, no one else, and no one I get close to. Are you relieved?" Chu Yuebai said with a teasing look in her eyes.
