He gulped down two cups of cold tea, but it did not help.
Chu Qi looked at the moon outside and considered returning to the room immediately, but he was worried about Ji'er making fun of him for being so impatient.
At this thought, he forced himself to calm down. He took out a book on military strategy and opened it in front of the window. He began to read while standing there.
The boring book worked—it ended up calming him down.
When he was finally composed, he started to study the strategy more seriously.
Not long after that, Tong'er came knocking on the study room door and reported, "General, the princess is inviting you back to her room."
Chu Qi immediately flung the book away and strode out of the study.
He slowed down when he was about to reach Ji'er's room.
The thought of Ji'er waiting inside for him made Chu Qi clench his fists. He felt even more nervous than last night.
