The long night stretched on, with only a single lamp lit in the general's bedroom.
Chun Zhou sat by the edge of the bed, happily indulging in a plate of peach pastries.
Bai Li Yu, who had embarrassed himself several times, lay on the bed with his face buried in a bundle of blankets, frowning as he muttered, “I haven't reached adulthood yet, and everything seems blurry. Once I came of age, I don't know why I often misidentify things up close. No matter how I adjust, it doesn’t help…”
“For a long time now, it’s been fortunate to have Qing Yu as my half-eye; otherwise, I would constantly make a fool of myself.” Bai Li Yu's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
Hearing Bai Li Yu say that Qing Yu was his half-eye stirred something in Chun Zhou's heart, making her feel a bit sour. She couldn’t help but let out a few cold laughs.
To her surprise, Bai Li Yu’s face turned red with anger as he shot her a glare. “You’re all the same! Just know how to make fun of me!”
“Enough with the nonsense! Let’s get down to business!” Seeing Bai Li Yu feeling self-conscious about his nearsightedness and transforming from a cunning general into an overly sensitive young man, Chun Zhou felt maternal instincts surge within her. With a wave of her hand, she touched the glasses hidden in her embrace. “General, you need to swear an oath first…”
“Swear what?” Bai Li Yu asked in confusion.
“First swear! From now on, if anything happens to me, you must protect me. You can’t just casually say you’ll kill me; if someone else tries to kill me, you have to protect me immediately!” Chun Zhou said seriously.
Bai Li Yu glanced at her and casually asked, “You’re not my concubine; why should I make such promises?”
“Concubine? I wouldn’t care for that! Do you dare to swear?” Chun Zhou challenged him with a defiant look.
“What’s there to be afraid of? I promise you,” he unexpectedly smiled, his brows relaxing and his expression brightening.
Chun Zhou took out a pair of glasses and handed them to him. "Try wearing these."
"Wear?" Bai Li Yu looked at the round, unfamiliar object with its two slender legs, hesitating to take it.
"Oh dear!" Seeing his lack of response, Chun Zhou simply brought the greasy glasses closer to him and put them on for him.
As Bai Li Yu looked at the face that suddenly came near: the woman's red lips slightly parted, with crumbs of peach pastry at the corners. As the glasses rested on his nose, the scenery before him became remarkably clearer.
"What is this...?" Bai Li Yu asked in surprise.
"Glasses! Glasses! They’re a gift for you!" Chun Zhou examined the handsome general wearing the glasses and burst into laughter. "This is the only pair in the world; if you want another, you'll have to wait until the Ming Dynasty in history!"
Bai Li Yu gazed at the woman before him, her radiant smile making his heart feel as if it were tightly grasped by a pair of hands, making it hard to breathe. There was a red mole at the corner of her brow, and when she smiled, she appeared exceptionally kind. He paused for a few seconds and then without hesitation grabbed Chun Zhou's hand and pulled her into his embrace.
"You..." Chun Zhou was taken aback. Before she could say anything, the man's face leaned in closer, and he kissed her lips.
"Ow!" The glasses wedged between them caused Bai Li Yu and Chun Zhou to immediately pull apart. They both covered their noses, staring wide-eyed at each other as the atmosphere grew increasingly ambiguous.
"I'm going back!" Chun Zhou's heart raced like a drum as she turned to run. But she was held back. "I'm not doing anything!"
By dawn, news of Chun Zhou not returning all night spread throughout the general's residence.
With just a pair of glasses and a night of intimate conversation, Chun Zhou quickly rose to become the first woman to spend the night in the general's bedroom.
Before long, Chun Zhou not only enjoyed better food and living conditions, but she also moved into the main courtyard. Bai Li Yu spent most of his time with her, and even Big Yellow, who came along, became the most distinguished dog in the General's residence, strutting proudly down the streets every day.
Finally, she had found a good support! Chun Zhou thought to herself, Great Beauty! The Great General! Moreover, during their conversations, she unexpectedly learned that he was also the nephew of the Current Emperor! He was practically King Zhen Nan with a vast estate in Jiangnan!
When Bai Li Yu casually mentioned, "My uncle is quite powerful," Chun Zhou foolishly asked, "Who is your uncle?"
After that incident, she became more cautious with her words.
It was simply unacceptable that she didn't know General Bai Li was the nephew of the current emperor; she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Bai Li didn't delve deeper into it. But the fact that she existed beside him under false pretenses was something that would eventually come to light…
Ever since he got his glasses, Bai Li Yu often wore them with a sense of pride.
To Chun Zhou's surprise, his nearsightedness wasn't very severe; her glasses fit him perfectly. However, it seemed that his tendency to misidentify people couldn't be easily explained away.
