Instead of being as docile as a lily as it is now.
"Um?"
Chu Qing's body stiffened instinctively when he lifted her up.
After so many years together, this is considered a rather intimate gesture, and it still feels a bit strange.
"What's wrong?"
When Wei Yutang met his clear gaze, for a moment he wondered if he had been doing something wrong all these years.
Perhaps I shouldn't try to slowly melt Chu Qing's heart like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; I could just tell him my thoughts directly.
"I think there are some problems with the way we get along right now."
"Was there something I didn't do well enough?"
"No, quite the opposite, you've done enough, but that's the problem itself."
From any perspective, Chu Qing can be considered a perfect lover.
He is equally outstanding in both life and career, and Xiaxia has also grown up very well under his guidance.
Aside from being a little mischievous, he basically has no other problems.
"What is the problem?"
Chu Qing wasn't sure if there was anything she hadn't done well enough, so she simply asked directly.
“I’ve always felt that I’m not your lover, but more like your roommate.”
The two were very polite to each other, so polite that they were almost a little distant.
Chu Qing had never realized this before, but after he pointed it out, she thought about it for a moment and found that it was indeed true.
It's probably because he had never experienced a similar relationship before and didn't know how normal couples interact.
Subconsciously, I just want to do my best, so being polite is inevitable.
"So what do you want me to do?"
I hope you can be yourself.
After speaking his heartfelt words, Wei Yutang felt as if he had become much more relaxed.
He didn't need the person in front of him to become unrecognizable in order to please him; he would much rather see a Chu Qing who was completely his own.
He can vent his anger when he's unhappy, and he can confide in him when he's feeling down. He doesn't need to be perfect; he just wants a real, living lover.
Chu Qing did nothing wrong; on the contrary, it was precisely because he did so well that Chu Qing gave Chu Qing the surreal feeling that the person in front of him was a mannequin.
"I will try my best."
Despite saying that, Chu Qing actually felt somewhat confused.
"Don't be too nervous, we can take it slowly, I'm just pointing this out."
Wei Yutang had previously hoped that this person could make some changes, but now that he had changed, he felt inexplicably empty.
"good."
That night, the two of them lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
One is worried that what she says will upset him, while the other is struggling with how to make the change.
The system emerged naturally under these circumstances, keeping its mission and its master's instructions firmly in mind.
In the past, this would never have been gossip that someone with an ordinary system like his would have heard.
Previously, so many people in the empire only knew that the marshal and the commander had a very good relationship, but who would have thought that there was such a fatal flaw in their relationship?
"Host, perhaps you could consider taking your anger out on him."
At this moment, Chu Qing, who was already tossing and turning and unable to sleep, immediately responded when she heard the system's words.
Why should I take my anger out on him?
"This is probably the point that Marshal was quite troubled about before. You were too polite to him, to the point that it wasn't the normal way for two people to get along."
Because the intimacy and affection between the two of them never reached that level, even when they shared a bed, they rarely became intimate.
"I understand, I'll try my best."
Although Chu Qing seems completely clueless when it comes to matters of the heart, he is extremely intelligent and can grasp these things very quickly.
The next day, instead of getting up early to prepare breakfast as usual, I stayed in bed and planned to sleep in.
When Wei Yutang woke up, he was prepared that no one would be around him.
As usual, I reached out to touch the spot that had gone cold, but I unexpectedly bumped into a body.
He was feeling a little sleepy, but the moment he touched her, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at the person next to him.
Chu Qing had tried her best to do as the system instructed, but when she realized that this person was staring at her, she still opened her eyes.
She looked a little groggy after just waking up, and her voice had a slightly nasal tone.
"What's wrong?"
"No."
Seeing his sleepy appearance after just waking up, Wei Yutang quickly lowered his voice to deny it, as if afraid of disturbing him.
I even used the remote control to draw the curtains in the bedroom.
At this time of day when one should normally be getting up, the atmosphere in the bedroom was still somewhat dim.
A warm and cozy bed, coupled with an exceptionally cozy atmosphere, makes one unconsciously want to stay in bed for a while.
"I'm so sleepy today, I don't want to get out of bed."
Despite still wanting to stay in bed, Chu Qing, whose consciousness had cleared up somewhat after being disturbed like that, and who was already trying her best to change things, turned to talk to Wei Yutang.
"If you don't want to get up, then don't get up. I've already told the nanny to take Xiaxia out to play today. You can stay in bed as long as you want."
"very nice."
After saying that, Chu Qing quickly crawled back into bed.
Wei Yutang could tell that Chu Qing was really serious about changing you as he had said, and he was actively cooperating with him.
The two of them tacitly stayed in bed in the bedroom, while the only one who got up early thinking he could go find his father, Tiantian, was mercilessly taken away.
When it was pointed out that their relationship didn't resemble that of a normal couple, both of them began to grow closer to each other and gradually change their previous way of interacting.
Everything seemed to fall into place naturally; when their little one wasn't home, the two of them became even closer.
As Xiaxia grew up, she became less mischievous than when she was little. Inheriting the perfect genes of her two fathers, the little tiger grew up exceptionally well.
Before he was even an adult, he had won numerous awards and was subsequently recommended to a new team for an internship.
Almost everyone could see that Wei Yutang wanted to groom his son to be his successor.
Because of the little tiger's excellence, no one had any objections. On the contrary, they were looking forward to seeing what changes Xia Xia would make after inheriting his father's position following the marshal's retirement.
Xiaxia knew from a young age that she would have responsibilities when she grew up, and her father would always talk to her about these things behind her father's back.
At first, the little guy was a bit reluctant, but as his father talked about it more and more, he himself gradually came to believe that this was the mission he was supposed to complete.
He grew up exceptionally well. Shortly after taking over his father's position, he completed several missions with outstanding results, completely putting everyone at ease.
He wanted to be the pride of his father and father-in-law, but he didn't resist others mentioning him as his father and father-in-law's son.
He simply hoped that when others mentioned him to his father and father-in-law, they would also use Wei Xia's two fathers as an introduction.
After Xia Xia inherited that position, Chu Qing gradually began to prepare for his retirement.
The students he taught back then are now able to independently mentor new students, one after another, generation after generation, and so on, continuing in this way.
It's not like it was at the beginning, when he needed to keep an eye on things all the time.
At first, Chu Qing was able to assure that all her purposes in being with Wei Yutang were related to the mission.
But when they are all old and have spent so many years together, they become somewhat uncertain when they think back on this topic.
It wasn't until Wei Yutang, due to the numerous missions he had undertaken in his youth, grew older and all sorts of injuries and ailments began to surface.
While lying in the hospital, relying on numerous machines to barely keep him alive for a while, Chu Qing suddenly felt a sense of despair, as if his entire world had collapsed.
He stayed by the bedside, watching the man's face, now aged and no longer handsome.
Wei Yutang would occasionally be lucid for a period of time, but most of the time he was in a deep sleep.
During his brief moments of lucidity, his favorite topic of conversation with Chu Qing was their past.
Even now, he still speaks with great pride about how being together is the proudest thing in his life.
Less than a month after Wei Yutang left, Chu Qing also left this world. After returning to the system space, he stared blankly in the direction of the void.
Perhaps because all relationships require sincerity in return, he had unknowingly given his own heart away during the process of winning her over.
Before Chu Qing could think about the problem carefully, the system had already quickly erased all of his memories.
The master had mentioned to him that the commander was very intelligent, and if the memory erasure was not done in time, he would definitely notice something was wrong.
And without giving him any time to react, it immediately opened the next dimension.
"Host, welcome to the next mission world: the lazy husband and wife in a farming novel."
Is the son of a Grand Tutor better than a first-rank general?

Chapter 104
Before Chu Qing could even feel the brief pain brought on by grief, her heart felt as if a large piece was missing.
The system reacted swiftly, giving the host no time to react before efficiently handling everything.
Before leaving, Bai Yuan had told the system that Chu Qing shouldn't be given too much time to think about things. After all, this was the Commander, and if he had too much time to think, many of the truths they had deliberately hidden would be exposed.
