Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After a long time, Xie Yunsong let go of Bai Zhiyuan. He walked to the entrance of the cave and explored it, fearing that the wolf corpse at the entrance would attract other wild beasts.

After exploring, he moved a large rock to block the entrance of the cave.

Then he pulled Bai Zhiyuan to sit down.

The flame in front of him was still burning, and Xie Yunsong added some dry firewood into it.

Neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Bai Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why are you nervous?" Xie Yunsong asked casually.

Bai Zhiyuan hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "How did you find me?"

Xie Yunsong stared into her eyes and said, "I found you missing, so I sent someone to look for you. I heard that you and Shen Zhiyi went up the mountain. Miss Bai, do you remember that I once said that the mountain is dangerous and you are not familiar with the road, so you are not allowed to go up the mountain?"

Bai Zhiyuan shrank his head and said, "I wanted to tell you, but Shen Zhiyi said she had sent someone to tell you, so I..."

Xie Yunsong sneered, "Where did Miss Bai's intelligence and decisiveness in the capital go? How come she was so easily deceived after coming to the Northern Territory?"

Bai Zhiyuan choked and said, "I was suspicious, so I was careful and made marks along the way. If it hadn't been dark and raining, I would have gone down the mountain by myself."

Xie Yunsong raised his eyes and asked, "Since you already have doubts in your heart, why did you follow her?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "I just had doubts and was not sure. But after we went up the mountain, I was sure that Shen Zhiyi wanted to abandon me on the mountain. She knew that I had never been to the North, let alone to this mountain. But I still remember her kindness in taking care of me when I first came to the military camp."

Xie Yunsong chuckled and said, "I have seen Miss Bai's methods in the past when I was in Beijing. She doesn't seem to be such a kind-hearted person."

Bai Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "Why? Am I a vicious woman in General Xie's eyes?"

"Although I understand Shen Zhiyi's intentions, she can't hurt me."

"Today I finally figured out where her hostility towards me came from. It turns out it was all because of General Xie."

"Speaking of which, General Xie, this is not the first time I have been attacked for you. Previously it was Princess Changle, and now it is Shen Zhiyi. I am so innocent."

Xie Yunsong looked at her quietly and said seriously: "Actually, you are not innocent at all."

"Ah?" Bai Zhiyuan was unable to react for a moment.

Xie Yunsong approached her, and Bai Zhiyuan unconsciously avoided his gaze.

I only heard Xie Yunsong say word by word: "You are not innocent, because they all found out that I like you."

Bai Zhiyuan stood there in a daze, feeling dizzy and for a moment unable to believe what he had heard.

After a while, she stood up and stammered, "I...I...I...you..."

Xie Yunsong suddenly stood up, and his two eyes as black as the dark night, filled with affection that Bai Zhiyuan could not ignore, met her eyes.

He carefully lowered his face, tilted his head slightly, and kissed her, gently rubbing his lips against hers. Everything around them seemed to disappear, and time seemed to have stood still.

Bai Zhiyuan was shocked at first, his eyes wide open, and he wanted to push away the person in front of him, but in the end he slowly closed his eyes.

Forget it, just sink.

After a long time, he left her lips.

Both of them were immersed in the kiss for a moment and did not speak.

Xie Yunsong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently.

"That..." Bai Zhiyuan mustered up the courage to speak, but spoke haltingly and finally shut up. His ears turned red and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

Seeing her like this, Xie Yunsong's heart softened, and he hugged her again, resting his chin on her shoulder, and laughed softly, "It turns out that Miss Bai, who usually looks carefree, can also be shy sometimes."

Bai Zhiyuan could hear his own heartbeat, one after another, clear and powerful, in such a quiet night.

She raised her hands and hugged Xie Yunsong back, burying her head in his arms.

Her voice came out muffled: "When did you fall in love with me? How come I had no idea?"

Xie Yunsong sighed slightly and said, "Ms. Bai is extremely perceptive in other matters, but she is so stupid in love. Everyone in the world can see that I like you, but you are the only one who doesn't know."

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned. It was not that she was stupid in love, but because of her experience in her past life, she did not dare to touch love again. The betrayal in her past life was real. Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she dreamed that her sincere efforts in her past life ended up with the destruction of her family and death with hatred. She woke up in the middle of the night, afraid that she would repeat the same mistake in this life.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't dare and didn't want to give her true heart again. She was afraid that everything was just a mirage and she was even more afraid that everything in front of her was just a dream, and when she woke up she would still be struggling in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his head, confusion and pain flashed across his eyes, and finally they gradually became clear.

Xie Yunsong felt a pain in his heart. He was always perceptive and he noticed the conflicting feelings of Bai Zhiyuan. He clearly felt that Bai Zhiyuan was not against him, but there was a little struggle in her eyes.

What kind of experience caused her to have so many concerns?

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Xie Yunsong quietly, thinking to herself: Xie Yunsong is not Qi Zeyi, he is the hero of Dali, believe him. In this life, he may come to save you.

Bai Zhiyuan closed his eyes and buried his head in Xie Yunsong's arms again.

She muttered, "General Xie has always been sharp-tongued and always mocked me. How could I know that this was love?"

Xie Yunsong laughed.

Bai Zhiyuan asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Yunsong slightly curved his lips and said, "If you don't like it, you will naturally be like Shen Zhiyi and not bother to pay attention to it. Don't you realize that although you are annoying, you are also liked by others?"

This guy doesn't seem like a novice when it comes to sweet talk. Instead, he speaks it very effortlessly.

Xie Yunsong pulled Bai Zhiyuan away, looked into Bai Zhiyuan's bright eyes, and asked, "Now you know my heart, what about you?"

"Me?" Bai Zhiyuan asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with me?"

Xie Yunsong said with a smile: "I have expressed my feelings to you, so what do you think of Miss Bai?"

Bai Zhiyuan was startled, her cheeks flushed, and her mind went blank. After a moment, she regained some reason and looked up again, only to see Xie Yunsong staring at her motionlessly. Her face flushed, and she buried her head in his arms again, whispering, "You just... I didn't push you away, how else can I express my feelings?"

Hearing this, Xie Yunsong lowered his head and couldn't help laughing. His chest shook with laughter. Bai Zhiyuan blushed and didn't dare to look up.

After a while, the bonfire on the ground was about to go out. Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan sat next to each other beside the bonfire. Xie Yunsong picked up a branch and fanned the flame, which became bigger and illuminated the cave brightly.

The night was dark and quiet outside, and the rain seemed to have stopped.

The two people in the cave snuggled up to each other, and a sweet atmosphere filled the air.
