Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Follow Your Heart
Before Duan Yixin entered her room, Xuan Ruiquan stopped her and handed her a small porcelain jar. Duan Yixin looked at the porcelain jar in her hand and asked, “What is this?”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at her silently for a moment and said, “You are injured. This ointment is good for treating wounds and bruises. I know you can prepare the medicine yourself, but please accept this.”

Duan Yixin opened the porcelain jar and looked at the white translucent ointment inside. From the smell and texture of the ointment, she knew it was a top-grade medicine.

She closed the lid and smiled at Xuan Ruiquan, “Thank you. I will make good use of it.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded and said gently, “It’s not convenient for me to help you, so please ask Miss Chi to help you.”

After speaking, he looked at Chi Xinru, who looked at them with interest and said, “Miss Chi, please help me take care of Xin’er.”

Chi Xinru nodded and smiled, “Don’t worry. I will take good care of her.”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at Duan Yixin again and said, “Call me if you need anything.”

After saying that, Xuan Ruiquan walked to the next room while Duan Yixin closed the door. When she turned around, she saw Chi Xinru looking at her with an aunt’s smile.

“Why are you looking at me like this?” Duan Yixin asked helplessly.

Chi Xinru grinned and asked curiously, “Xin Xin, tell me honestly. What is your relationship with General Xuan now?”

“We are just friends.” Duan Yixin replied calmly.

Hearing her answer, Chi Xinru raised her eyebrows and teased, “Friend? Are you sure?”

“If we are not friends, then what do you think our relationship is?” Duan Yixin asked back while taking out a clean piece of clothing from the bamboo basket.

Seeing how calm she was, Chi Xinru said, “But the way General Xuan looks at you is not the way other people look at their friends.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin turned to look at Chi Xinru and raised her eyebrows slightly, “How do you know so much about this matter?”

Chi Xinru sat on the wooden stool around the table, poured a cup of water for herself, and replied, “Although I have not been in love before, I have seen many people fall in love. You can also see how my father and mother interact every day. After living with them all my life, do you think it is possible for me not to understand the things between men and women?”

Seeing Duan Yixin ignoring her, she added, “The way General Xuan looks at you is like the way my father looks at my mother. Do you think my father thought my mother as his friend?”

Since Chi Xinru said that Xuan Ruiquan looked at her the same way Chi Junheng looked at Madam Chi, Duan Yixin suddenly felt unsure whether Xuan Ruiquan only regarded her as a friend or not.

Even in their previous life, they never confessed to each other and only interacted as close friends. Because of this, Duan Yixin did not dare to expect that she could be more than friends with him in this life. Duan Yixin would be satisfied as long as she could stay by his side, even if she were just a friend.

After a moment of silence, Duan Yixin put the clean clothes on the bed, walked over to Chi Xinru, and sat down. After drinking a cup of water, she asked, “Are you sure General Xuan looks at me like Uncle Chi looks at Aunt Wang?”

Chi Xinru nodded, “Based on my experience observing couples over the years, I won’t make any mistakes on this matter.”

Seeing that Duan Yixin was deep in thought after listening to what she said, Chi Xinru nudged her lightly and asked, “What? You don’t like General Xuan? I think he is very good and treats you better than that bastard Tang Zizheng.”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said hesitantly, “It’s not that I don’t like him. It’s just… we have only known each other for a few days, and I know nothing about him.”

After saying that, she added in her heart, ‘Even though I was sure that he was Yu Jingxian, I didn’t know anything about his life experience as Xuan Ruiquan. What if he already has a wife or fiancé in this world? I don’t want to ruin his life again for the second time. For me, just being his friend and protecting him from a distance was enough.’

Chi Xinru listened to her answer and said, “Then just ask him what you want to know. Liking someone does not depend on how long you have known him. In addition, if you like him, then follow your heart and be brave. If you don’t like him, just reject him so you don’t waste your and his time.”

Listening to Chi Xinru’s straightforward words, Duan Yixin seemed to see everything clearly and said, “Thank you, Xinru. I will consider this issue seriously.”

Chi Xinru grinned and patted Duan Yixin on the shoulder, “No problem. If you have any more questions, you can ask me. Based on my many years of observation, I am very confident that I can help you with the relationship between man and woman.”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Chi Xinru stood up and said, “It should be the servant who delivers the hot water. Let me get it.”

Opening the door, Chi Xinru saw the servants carrying several buckets of water and said, “Please come in.”

The servants bowed and said, “Guest, please excuse us.”

After speaking, the servant motioned to other servants to pour hot and cold water into the wooden bathtub behind the folding screen on one side of the room. After they were done, the servants left.

The servant smiled and said, “If you need anything, please just call us.”

Chi Xinru nodded and said, “Thank you.”
