Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

As the days passed, Bai Zhiyuan's injuries healed day by day.

Since she was injured, Xie Yunsong did not allow her to leave the tent. She spent her days lying on the bed or walking around the tent with a stick, which was really boring.

Even though Cheng Beixiao would find time to talk to her from time to time, and Xie Yunsong would try to accompany her when he had nothing to do, she was still getting annoyed.

That day, Bai Zhiyuan was still lying on the bed bored. Xie Yunsong knocked on the door and came in.

Bai Zhiyuan looked so solemn that Xie Yunsong laughed and walked closer to her and said, "It's snowing outside."

Bai Zhiyuan said listlessly, "I stayed in the house all day and didn't even notice it was snowing. How long do I have to lie like this?"

In fact, most of her injuries that day were superficial, and they have already healed. In addition, Cheng Beixiao's medicine is really effective, and there is not even a scar left. The injury on her leg is just more serious, and she still needs to use a stick when walking. But it's not a big deal, and I think it will heal soon.

Xie Yunsong smiled and said, "The New Year is coming soon. I asked Lu Zhiling to go to Yanzhou and bring you a lot of fireworks. I will accompany you to set off the fireworks on New Year's Eve."

His words reminded Bai Zhiyuan of last year's New Year in Beijing.

She smiled and said, "General Xie does remember that I like fireworks. I vaguely remember that when I was in Beijing last year, someone ran to the roof of someone else's house."

Xie Yunsong paused. He couldn't even explain his abnormal behavior that day, so Bai Zhiyuan always brought it up to make fun of him.

He looked uncomfortable for a moment, but soon regained his composure and said, "So this year I will naturally accompany Miss Bai to enjoy the fireworks in the North."

Bai Zhiyuan curved the corners of his lips and said, "Thank you very much, General."

Xie Yunsong stroked her hair and said, "You have a good rest. I'm going to the martial arts training ground."

Bai Zhiyuan held his hand and said, "Do you want to watch the military training? I want to go too!"

Xie Yunsong looked at the expectation in her eyes, thinking that he had asked her to stay in the tent every day recently, which was really difficult for her given her personality. His heart softened and he said, "Okay then!"

Bai Zhiyuan became happy and jumped up from the bed. Her leg was injured and she could not walk fast.

Xie Yunsong did not rush her and waited for her. The two of them slowly walked out of the tent. The wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger. Xie Yunsong tightened Bai Zhiyuan's cloak, then took her hand and walked towards the martial arts training ground.

Bai Zhiyuan hadn't been out for a long time, and now everything seemed new to her. The wind, snow, and air outside were all beautiful. Her face was full of excitement and joy, and Xie Yunsong saw it and felt happy in his heart.

Before they knew it, they had reached the martial arts training ground.

The two stopped and heard the sound of soldiers practicing martial arts in front of them.

Bai Zhiyuan quietly watched the soldiers training in front of her. She hadn't been active for a long time and really wanted to practice sword like everyone else. She looked at Xie Yunsong with hope. Xie Yunsong seemed to understand what she meant and said calmly, "Until your leg injury is healed, you are not allowed to touch the sword."

Bai Zhiyuan choked and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Xie Yunsong pretended not to see it.

The snow gradually stopped, and Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan stood in the martial arts training ground for a long time.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, "Yun Song..."

Bai Zhiyuan looked back and saw that it was Cheng Beixiao. Cheng Beixiao approached them, brushed off the snow on his boots, and said, "No wonder we didn't find Sister Bai in the tent. It turns out that she came here."

He looked at Xie Yunsong again and said with a mischievous smile, "Why? Bring my sister Bai to watch the military training?"

Xie Yunsong glanced at him and asked, "Sister Bai?"

Cheng Beixiao coughed lightly and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Xie Yunsong sneered, "You sound so affectionate."

Cheng Beixiao touched his nose awkwardly, turned his head, looked at Bai Zhiyuan's stick again, and asked, "Can you get out of bed and walk so far today? How is it? Does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Bai Zhiyuan said, "Mr. Cheng is a great doctor. I am now well again."

Cheng Beixiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad. But you were too brave that day. You jumped off the cliff just like that. I have to say that you are the first woman I admire."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed and said, "The situation was urgent that day and I was forced to do it. Fortunately, I managed to survive."

Xie Yunsong turned his head and looked at the two of them flattering each other with disdain in his eyes.

Cheng Beixiao said again: "Sister Bai, the New Year is coming, and this is my first time to spend the New Year away from home. Sister Bai, do you miss home?"

Bai Zhiyuan heard him say this and knew that he might be homesick, so he smiled and said, "Master Cheng, you must be homesick. My parents went to the southern border when I was young, and even if I stayed in Shangjing, I would be the only one to celebrate the New Year, so for me, it's the same wherever I am. This year, I can be with everyone, so I don't feel lonely anymore."

Cheng Beixiao said unnaturally: "No, who said I miss home, I just feel emotional for a moment."

Seeing that he was being stubborn, Bai Zhiyuan said, "Thank you, General, for buying so many fireworks. We can set off the fireworks together on New Year's Eve. That will help alleviate Mr. Cheng's homesickness."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Beixiao teased, "Fireworks? Xie Yunsong? Do these two words match Xie Yunsong's temperament?"

"Xie Yunsong, Xie Yunsong, I didn't expect you to be this kind of Xie Yunsong. To make my sister Bai smile, you actually lowered your status."

Bai Zhiyuan: “…”

Xie Yunsong ignored him and turned to Bai Zhiyuan and said, "You've been out for a long time today. You must be tired. I'll take you back."

Cheng Beixiao looked disgusted. When did Xie Yunsong speak in such a gentle tone?

Bai Zhiyuan didn't want to go back. She finally came out for a while and pouted, "I'm not tired. I don't want to go back."

Xie Yunsong: "Be obedient!"

Cheng Beixiao: "..."

Bai Zhiyuan then said reluctantly: "Okay then!"

Only then did he reluctantly follow Xie Yunsong back to the tent, but Xie Yunsong forced him to lie on the bed and rest.

A few days passed, and finally the New Year in the North arrived.

During these days, the soldiers did not have to train, and everyone received new clothes and shoes, and even had meat for food. Everyone's face was filled with festive joy.

Xie Yunsong sat at the table early in the morning to deal with military affairs. Today was New Year's Eve, and Xie Yunsong no longer restricted Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan ran to the new recruits' camp early in the morning to celebrate the New Year with everyone.

After lunch, he walked towards Xie Yunsong's tent. In front of Xie Yunsong was still a mountain of military books.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Today is New Year's Eve. Does General Xie still have so many things to deal with?"

Xie Yunsong looked up and said, "I'll hurry up and finish these. I can take you to set off the fireworks after dark."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded, sat down obediently beside him, and silently accompanied him in handling military matters.

At some point, Bai Zhiyuan had fallen asleep on the table.

Xie Yunsong gently covered her with his cloak. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he suddenly felt that the years were peaceful and he wanted such moments to last longer.
