Seeing the smile on Wei Ying's lips grow broader, Chu Qing silently turned her head away and said stiffly, "I, um... forget it... I'll go to sleep first." As soon as the words left her mouth, Chu Qing rolled up her bedding and rolled to the innermost part of the couch.
It was not until she pressed against the cold wall that she suddenly came to her senses.
Although her words just now didn't imply that she was inviting him to sleep with her, her actions spoke volumes!
She even left a space for him...
Wasn't it just saying, "Come! Lie down and sleep with me!"
Chu Qing wanted to kill herself all over again.
How could she be so unreserved!
Seeing Chu Qing's actions, Wei Ying's eyebrows twitched slightly. Then his eyes darkened. His long and slender fingers slowly undid his long gown.
Then, the gown fell to the ground.
Although Chu Qing had her eyes closed, her ears hardly missed any sound.
So, naturally, she heard the almost inaudible rubbing sound of the clothes falling to the ground.
That shameless guy was actually taking off his clothes?
At this moment, Chu Qing completely forgot that she herself was only wearing a thin inner garment.
Just as Chu Qing's mind was filled with all sorts of strange and chaotic thoughts, she felt the space behind her slowly sink, and the warmth from the other person began to spread.
Hiss, he lay down!
He really lay down!
Chu Qing inched herself towards the wall little by little until she felt that she was tightly pressed against it, then she stopped.
This way, there should be a safe distance behind, right?
Seeing Chu Qing stiffen her back, Wei Ying let out a soft laugh and then closed his eyes.
The Princess of Ning, who was pressed against the wall, heard the soft laugh behind her and then there was no more sound.
After waiting quietly for a long time, Chu Qing slowly turned around to see what the other person was doing. Then, she saw Wei Ying's sleeping face.
Wei Ying looked as quiet as a painting when he was sleeping.
Unlike his coldness when awake or his teasing when he was with her, at this moment, he was like gentle jade. He was not at all aggressive and gently embraced everything.
So... he was asleep?
With a beauty by his side! He actually fell asleep!
Fine! Very good!
Since that was the case, don't blame her for... really going to sleep!
Chu Qing bit her lips and suddenly closed her eyes.
With her eyes closed, naturally she couldn't see that at this moment, Wei Ying, who was supposed to be asleep, actually had a faint smile on his lips.
...
When Chu Qing woke up, she stared blankly into space for I don't know how long before she gradually realized that she had really slept in the same bed with Wei Ying last night! And nothing had happened!
The most embarrassing thing was that she, who thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep, actually fell asleep quickly?
Just as Chu Qing was doubting the meaning of her existence, Luoluo and Liuxin walked in with blushing faces and even thoughtfully prepared...
Hot water?!
She hadn't said anything, yet they prepared hot water!
Don't they think that she and Wei Ying...
Chu Qing expressionlessly let the two little girls drag her to take a bath. She didn't want to talk or explain.
Just let them think what they want! Since they thought that the two of them had... then let them think so!
...
So, this was how Chu Qing spent the following days:
Every morning, the Princess of Ning would go to practice martial arts full of energy, just like the rising sun.
Every evening, the Princess of Ning would return to the courtyard listlessly, looking like a mummy dug out of a coffin, and go to sleep.
As for what she practiced...
On the first day, Wei Zhi and the others only trained her in rapid walking.
On the second day, climbing was added.
On the third day, stone - throwing was added.
On the fourth day, horse - riding was added.
On the fifth day, horse - archery was added.
Every day, she had to finish the tasks from the previous day before she could practice the new ones.
On the morning of the sixth day, Chu Qing was lying on the bed in a sprawled position, completely ignoring Wei Ying who was still standing beside her.
She thought that Wei Ying and the others were training her to go to war!
Right! Throwing, horse - archery, rapid walking and climbing.
No matter how Chu Qing looked at it, she felt that after she mastered these skills, she could go to the battlefield to kill enemies!
If she could ask Wei Ying for more advice on military strategies later, maybe she could even lead troops into battle or be named a general?
When the little meatball sensed what Chu Qing was thinking, it burst out laughing and said, "Boss! Then your rebirth mission this time could be called 'The Empress Dowager Reborn as a Tough Female General'?"
Hearing what the little meatball said merrily, being reborn as a tough female general? It actually sounded not bad...
Not at all!
She had no intention of being a general. She only wanted to figure out how she died in her previous life.
And if possible, having a romantic relationship with this guy Wei Ying... would also be nice!
She really couldn't do things like going to war.
Although feeling dejected, Chu Qing still struggled to get up and prepared to go practice.
After all, she had already made a decision. How could she back out?
...
Seeing her struggle to get up, Wei Ying's eyes were full of relief.
He had thought that she would give up or back down when faced with difficulties.
Unexpectedly, she still wanted to continue.
Watching Chu Qing change from being listless to full of fighting spirit in an instant, Wei Ying curled his lips.
It seemed that they could officially start today.
