Chapter 110 A Sweet Pursuit
Chapter 110 A Sweet Pursuit
Although military life is intense and arduous, Qiu Ziyue's recent days have been filled with both sweetness and troubles.
Lu Yuanchangming began to pursue her relentlessly, with new surprises waiting for her almost every day.
Early in the morning, as Qiu Ziyue stepped out of the barracks, she saw a beautiful bouquet of flowers placed at the camp gate.
Next to the bouquet was a small note that read: "Twilight Sparkle, may you be as beautiful as a flower every day. —Lu Yuanchangming"
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart.
She picked up the bouquet, went into the barracks, put the flowers in a vase, and placed it on the table.
Not long after, Lu Yuanchangming delivered another basket of fresh fruit, along with a note: "Ziyue, wishing you good health and all the best. —Lu Yuanchangming"
At noon, in the sweltering summer heat, the sun hung high in the sky, baking the earth.
On the training ground, Qiu Ziyue is conducting intensive military combat training for the soldiers.
She was dressed in full armor, looking heroic and dashing.
"one two three"
"Speed and posture must be correct."
A moment later, Lu Yuanchangming had a soldier bring over a large pot of mung bean soup, and also brought Qiu Ziyue several fans and a parasol.
"Twilight Sparkle, have some mung bean water, don't let yourself get heatstroke."
Lu Yuanchangming said.
Upon seeing the mung bean water, the soldiers exclaimed happily, "Great! We can benefit from it again!"
Lu Yuanchangming handed Qiu Ziyue a cup of mung bean water.
Qiu Ziyue took the mung bean water, smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
Then, Lu Yuanchangming opened the parasol and held it over Qiu Ziyue's head to shield her from the scorching sun: "Ziyue, you can use this umbrella first. The sun is too strong and it's easy to get sunburned."
Qiu Ziyue smiled, looked at Lu Yuanchangming, and nodded: "Thank you, I will be careful."
Training continued, with Lu Yuanchangming fanning Qiu Ziyue to cool her down.
Whenever Qiu Ziyue stopped giving instructions, Lu Yuanchangming would quickly step forward and gently wipe her forehead and cheeks with a soft silk handkerchief, his movements gentle and meticulous.
The soldiers looked on with envy at the sight.
"Look at General Qiu, he's truly enviable."
"Yes, I wish I could have that kind of treatment too."
"General Qiu and General Lu are such a perfect match! I heard they're getting married in the military camp."
…………
Lu Yuanchangming always appears when Qiu Ziyue needs him most, whether it's handing her water, holding an umbrella, fanning her, or wiping her sweat, he does it all perfectly.
After training, Lu Yuanchangming accompanied Qiu Ziyue back to the barracks.
Lu Yuan Changming suggested, "Ziyue, how about we take you for a walk in the nearby mountains tomorrow? The scenery there is beautiful and the air is very fresh."
Qiu Ziyue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, but I'm very tired today. Let's go when I have time."
Lu Yuanchangming smiled, his heart filled with joy.
Qiu Ziyue felt happy and warm with Lu Yuan and Changming by her side.
However, the soldiers had sharp eyes, and everyone could see the sweet atmosphere between the two.
Of course, these sweet scenes did not escape the eyes of Liu Qingluo, nor the eyes of her three senior brothers.
One day, after training, Qiu Ziyue was about to return to the barracks to rest when three senior brothers suddenly appeared in front of her.
Each of the three held something in their hands: Qiu Langyu held a beautiful notebook, Qiu Wentian held a delicate handkerchief, and Qiu Wenfeng held a jade bracelet.
Qiu Langyu smiled and said, "Ziyue, this is a notebook I prepared for you. I hope you can record more of your thoughts in your spare time."
Qiu Wentian continued, "This is a handkerchief I bought for you. I hope it will bring you some coolness in the hot summer."
Qiu Wenfeng then took out the jade bracelet and said gently, "Junior sister, this is a jade bracelet I'm giving you. I hope it will bring you good luck."
Looking at the gift in her hand, Qiu Ziyue felt touched, flattered, and even a little confused.
She politely declined, saying, "Seniors, we've known each other for more than a day or two, why are you being so polite?"
Senior Brother Qiu Langyu said, "That kid Lu Yuanchangming is pursuing you, right? I can't fall behind."
“Yes, junior sister, don’t be so biased. We’re all fine,” Qiu Wentian said.
Third senior brother Qiu Wenfeng said, "Junior sister, I've never had the courage to tell you that I like you too. Now there's still a chance, and I'm going to bravely fight for it."
Qiu Ziyue didn't know what to say.
Qiu Ziyue's popularity quickly spread throughout the military camp, and almost every soldier was talking about her suitors.
Rumors about Qiu Ziyue were rampant in the military camp, with some even speculating about who she would ultimately choose.
"I hope you can understand how I feel and give me some time."
Qiu Ziyue once said to Lu Yuanchangming and his three senior brothers.
However, Lu Yuanchangming and his three senior brothers pursued it relentlessly.
This news caused anxiety in one person: Liu Qingluo.
Liu Qingluo knew that she was a spy sent by Young Master Qi to the military camp to monitor Qiu Ziyue's every move.
She knew that Qiu Ziyue had been very active lately, and that she wanted to give Lu Yuanchangming a chance.
She was deeply worried that his young master's bet wife would change her mind and marry someone else.
So she sent a secret report to Master Qi via urgent carrier pigeon.
Qi Shaogu, far away in Yangzhou, received a secret report and saw the elegant handwriting leaping onto the paper:
Liu Qingluo bows respectfully and respectfully submits this letter to Young Valley Master Qi Yuxuan:
I recently heard that Qiu Ziyue is quite favored by Lu Yuanchangming and her three senior brothers in the military camp. All four of them take great care of her, and they are very affectionate with each other every day, which makes onlookers envious.
During the sweltering heat, Young Master Lu would hand Zi Yue water, hold an umbrella for her, fan her, and even wipe her sweat. Although Sister Zi Yue politely declined several times, Young Master Lu remained steadfast in his devotion, eventually moving Sister Zi Yue deeply.
Recently, rumors have been circulating both inside and outside the military camp that Sister Ziyue seems to have developed feelings for Young Master Lu and is deeply in love with him, almost to the point of proposing.
Even more remarkably, rumors circulated that the two would be getting married in the military camp on a chosen date. Within the camp, the soldiers were abuzz with discussion, all saying that Sister Ziyue and Young Master Lu's relationship was growing increasingly intimate, almost becoming a celebrated story.
Qingluo knew that the young master and Sister Ziyue had made a bet. If the young master did not take action quickly, Sister Ziyue might find another love in the military camp, and then the young master's bet might be difficult to fulfill.
Young Master, please think it over carefully and take action as soon as possible, lest you miss this opportunity and regret it too late.
If needed, Qingluo is willing to serve the young master diligently and help him achieve his wishes.
Qingluo bows deeply, requesting your instructions.
"Qiu Ziyue, you bastard, Qiu Ziyue!"
Upon receiving Liu Qingluo's letter, Qi Yuxuan was immediately filled with rage.
He originally thought Qiu Ziyue would train peacefully in the military camp and wait for her return, but he never expected such news to come out.
Every word in the letter was like a sharp knife, cutting into his heart.
Qi Yuxuan sat in the study, clutching the letter tightly in his hand, his face ashen.
He read it several times to make sure he hadn't misread it.
The letter detailed Lu Yuanchangming's various acts of care for Qiu Ziyue, as well as the soldiers' envy and gossip about the relationship.
"Qiu Ziyue, how could you..."
Qi Yuxuan's anger was hard to quell.
He recalled the bet he made with Qiu Ziyue, and the promises he had made to her; now, it all seemed like an irony.
"Qiu Ziyue, have you really forgotten our bet so easily?" Qi Yuxuan muttered to himself.
