Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Sudden Confession (1)
After closing the door, Chi Xinru placed a wooden plank on it to block the door. She looked at Duan Yixin and said, “Xin Xin, you go take a bath first. When you are done, I will help you apply the medicine.”

Duan Yixin thanked her and went to clean up. In the next room, Xuan Ruiquan heard Duan Yixin taking off her clothes and blushed. Due to his deep internal energy, his five senses are sharper than ordinary martial arts practitioners. If he listened carefully, he could even hear the breathing of someone a hundred meters away.

Chi Xiyou saw his face turned red and asked, “General Xuan, are you alright?”

Xuan Ruiquan coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment and calmly said, “I’m fine. Young Master Chi should be tired from driving the horse carriage today. You should take a rest, and I will stand on guard tonight.”

“Then I’m going to bed first, and I will exchange with you later.” Chi Xiyou said while yawning.

Xuan Ruiquan looked at his tired look and said, “It’s alright. I will sleep in the carriage tomorrow.”

Since Xuan Ruiquan had said so, Chi Xiyou could only thank him and go to bed. Chi Xiyou fell asleep a few seconds after his head hit the pillow. Listening to his low and slow breathing, Xuan Ruiquan breathed a sigh of relief.

When he entered the room just now, he heard Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru talking. For the first time in his life, Xuan Ruiquan felt really nervous when he was eavesdropping on other people’s conversations. Fortunately, Chi Xinru was able to give Duan Yixin good advice. Otherwise, his progress in pursuing his wife may have been set back a few steps.

It was late at night, and everyone was asleep. However, Xuan Ruiquan was still sitting on the stool, staring at the wall and thinking of ways to pursue his future wife without scaring her away.

Early the next morning, Duan Yixin woke up before dawn. She got up from the bed and tried to move her body a little, and she only felt some pain in her back. Thanks to the ointment given by Xuan Ruiquan, the pain in her back was greatly reduced.

Seeing that Chi Xinru was still sleeping, Duan Yixin carefully got out of bed and put on her shoes. She went behind the folding screen and washed her face with water from the copper basin. After she was done, she left the room. As soon as she closed the door, Xuan Ruiquan walked out of the next room.

He smiled and said, “Good morning, Xin’er. Did you sleep well last night? How is your injury?”

Duan Yixin smiled at him and said, “Thanks to the ointment you gave me, the pain has been relieved a lot, and I can sleep well.”

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan felt relief and said, “I’m glad your condition has improved. Do you want to have breakfast together?”

“Mhm.” Duan Yixin nodded, and the two of them went down to the main hall.

After they left the inn, they walked to the restaurant located on the right side of the inn. When the servant saw the two of them coming, he quickly stepped forward and asked, “Guests, do you want to dine in or buy some food to take away?”

Since it was still early and the Chi siblings had not gotten up yet, Xuan Ruiquan said, “We will eat inside.”

The servant made an invitation gesture and smiled, “Please come this way, Guests.”

Following the servant, Xuan Ruiquan and Duan Yixin walked to the empty table by the round window. After they sat down, the servant asked, “Guest, what would you like to order?”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Xin’er, what do you want to eat? I heard that their wonton soup is delicious. Do you want to try it?”

Duan Yixin is not picky about food. She nodded and said, “You decide. I can eat anything.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded, then looked at the servant and said, “Give us two bowls of wonton soup, a plate of meat buns, two side dishes, and a pot of tea.”

The servant smiled and said, “Yes, guest. Please wait a moment.”

After the servant left, Duan Yixin looked around and said, “There are a lot of people today.”

Xuan Ruiquan poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of her.

Seeing her looking at those people with interest, he said, “These people should have come after we rested last night, or they may have just arrived this morning to take a rest and have a meal.”

Duan Yixin thanked him for the water, took a sip to moisten her throat, and said, “General Xuan seems to be very familiar with this place. Do you travel often?”

This was the first time Duan Yixin asked him about personal matters. Recalling the conversation between her and Chi Xinru last night, Xuan Ruiquan felt he might really have a chance to be her husband if he performed well. Besides, it seemed that the boundary between him and Duan Yixin slowly disappeared.

Xuan Ruiquan’s mood improved, and he smiled, “Yes. Although I spend most of my time on the northern border, sometimes I need to return to the imperial capital city to report to the emperor. Due to the limited time I had, I spent the night at the relay station during the journey back and forth between the northern border and the imperial capital city. So, after staying a few times in these relay stations, I have some knowledge about their specialties.”

Duan Yixin looked at his smiling face when he was talking and felt that Xuan Ruiquan was in a good mood. She smiled and thought, ‘He seems to enjoy his job as a soldier.’

Seeing that she didn’t ask again, Xuan Ruiquan wanted to continue the conversation and asked, “Xin’er, what about you? Do you often travel around?”
