Chapter 211 Don’t do this again

The smile on Qin Sheng's face faded little by little, and he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, he lowered his eyes, not looking into Chu Yian's eyes, and said softly, "I'm not unhappy."

Chu Yian frowned.

Seeing that Chu Yian wanted to say something, Qin Sheng took the initiative to ask, "Do you know how Miss Sheng feels about you?"

Chu Yian blinked, feeling a little awkward in front of him for the first time. He coughed and nodded slightly: "I know."

Qin Sheng frowned slightly, a complex expression flashing in his eyes: "Since you have no feelings for her, you should stay away from her."

Chu Yian was even more embarrassed. This question was really hard to explain.

Perhaps in Qin Sheng's view, she knew that Sheng Nianyao's feelings for her had gone beyond the boundaries of friendship.

Sheng Nianyao couldn't control herself. As the one with the initiative, she should take the initiative to stay away, which would be good for both of them.

Otherwise, if Sheng Nianyao really placed all her heart on her, it would only make her life miserable for the rest of her life.

Qin Sheng didn't know about the system, so naturally he didn't agree with her doing this.

He did not extend his hand to those women at the beginning because he knew that women are more emotional than men in relationships and are more likely to act on their feelings.

If you encounter something unpleasant, it is easy to go to extremes.

The methods that he had no use for were now being used by Chu Yian.

Regardless of the Sheng family behind Sheng Nianyao's stance on him, or whether they are hostile to him, Qin Sheng does not want to drag a woman who is not in the game into a dilemma.

Chu Yian coughed and looked up at Qin Sheng: "You know, I know my limits and I won't play with her feelings."

Qin Sheng looked at her and nodded softly.

Neither of them spoke again. After a long while, Qin Sheng spoke again, but his tone was a little hesitant.

"Yi An, no matter who you like or who you want to be with in the future, I won't stop you."

"But Sheng Nianyao can't do that. No woman can do that either."

Chu Yian:?

Chu Yian's pupils trembled as he looked at Qin Sheng, unable to believe that these words would actually come out of his mouth.

Qin Sheng sighed, reached out and touched her head, with a dark glint in his eyes: "I don't know what you are thinking, I just want to tell you that this road is difficult to walk."

"Once you embark on this path, you will face endless criticism and stabs in the back."

"I… don't want to see you like that."

Qin Sheng no longer remembers how many people have scolded him along the way, and how harsh the scolding was.

Because he knew how difficult this road was, Qin Sheng had to remind her even if there was only the slightest sign.

The strange looks people give me are really suffocating.

The words they say intentionally or unintentionally will make people feel embarrassed.

Regardless of whether Chu Yian is really indifferent to their words or can endure all that, Qin Sheng does not want her to suffer these injuries for no reason.

She is the sun in the sky, and should always hang there to provide warmth to people.

Without being dragged into the mortal world and thrown into the darkest and dirtiest mud.

Chu Yian opened his mouth and looked at Qin Sheng's expression, which looked like he had something to say but didn't want to go into too much detail. He couldn't help but slap his hand away.

Unable to bear it any longer, she glared at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Please get rid of this idea from your head right now."

Seeing her angry, Qin Sheng couldn't help but chuckle, put his hands behind his back, and curved his eyes.

Chu Yian quickly calmed down and sighed, "I know what you are angry about, Xiao Shengzi, there is no need to change the subject."

"Of course, this may also be what you really think,"

"But you're such a weird person. You always keep things to yourself and never really open up to anyone."

"It's the same with me, it's the same with my eldest brother, and it's even more so with others."

Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows, leaned against the wall, and looked at her with his arms folded across his chest: "You are not the first one to say this."

Chu Yian was stunned for a moment, and then he put his hands on his hips in anger: "Why do you care who I am, can you be more serious? I'm talking about a very serious topic."

Qin Sheng stood up straight again, feeling somewhat helpless: "I'm really not angry, and there's nothing to be angry about."

Chu Yian snorted coldly, stepped forward, grabbed Qin Sheng's collar and pulled him down.

Qin Sheng lowered his eyes to look at her and bent down obediently.

There was a subtle mist in Chu Yian's eyes: "Aren't you just angry that I want to get benefits from Qi Ze?"

"No, I'm not angry, I'm concerned."

"Qin Sheng, you know I'm greedy and profit-driven. I've done more than just this one bad thing."

"But you never tell me. Are you keeping a record of me in your mind?"

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. No matter how dissatisfied you are, just say it out loud."

"Can you please stop doing this?"

She tightened her grip on Qin Sheng's collar, her voice choking with sobs: "You clearly know that you are my only friend in this world, and the only person I truly care about, but you always do this..."

This was the first time Chu Yian spoke his true feelings so bluntly, and Qin Sheng was completely stunned.

Looking at Chu Yian's eyes slowly turning red and the tears falling from her eyes, my heart felt like it was pierced by something and was filled with intense pain.

Her tears fell like beads from a broken string, and the hot tears fell into his heart.

Qin Sheng had never seen Chu Yian cry.

Although she is timid and cowardly, she often escapes and hides herself when she is afraid.

She always lives like the sun in the sky, ardent and warm.

But now, she was crying.

Because he...

Qin Sheng's fingertips trembled slightly, and his heart was in a mess in an instant.

Chu Yian let go of his collar, tears still in her eyes, but she forced a smile: "Qin Sheng, you know, I don't feel any sense of belonging to this world."

"I used to think of myself as just a passing guest. If I could live, I would live. If I couldn't, I would die."

"Life and death don't matter to me. I've already died once."

"You are the only one who makes me feel that I am connected to this place, that I am truly living in this world, and that I belong here."

"If you..."

If Qin Sheng said nothing and just remained silent, he would keep a notebook for her to keep accounts.

When the notebook is full and he becomes impatient, will he completely distance himself from her?

If that were the case, she would really doubt what she had been doing during this period of time.

In that case, it is better to stay away from her from the beginning and not disturb her life.

She also quietly became a passer-by.

Don't marry into the Duke of Qin's mansion, don't write about the Great Qin Empire, don't get to know him, and don't open your heart to him.

Chu Yian looked at Qin Sheng, tears falling harder and harder.

Qin Sheng's heart had never been so confused. He reached out to wipe away the tears from her face.

But just as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it, and his voice trembled a little: "Yi An, I don't keep any accounts, and I don't have any intention of alienating you."

"Never."

Chu Yian lowered his eyelashes and clenched his hands tightly.

From Qin Sheng's perspective, he could still see tears hanging on her eyelashes.

The air became quiet again. Qin Sheng pursed his lips and said, "I didn't think too much about it. You regard me as your only friend, so why not me too?"

"It's just that some things are not your fault. Why should I blame you?"

Chu Yian looked up at Qin Sheng, waiting for his next words.

Qin Sheng sighed and said helplessly: "Don't I know your temper?"

"You never initiate trouble, and with them... they always come to you."

"It's my fault that I didn't deal with them properly. If I had, they wouldn't appear before you and bother you from time to time."

"Give me some time, I'll figure this out."

This was the first time Qin Sheng told her this.

Chu Yian opened his mouth, and his nasal tone became noticeably heavier when he spoke: "But you're leaving soon."

Qin Sheng hummed: "It's okay, I can solve it when I come back."

"During the time I'm away, I'll try not to let them show up and disturb you."

Chu Yian sniffed: "Can you do it? Will it be difficult?"

Qin Sheng shook his head: "No, don't worry, and didn't you tell me? I'm good at training dogs, I can handle it."

Chu Yian: ...

Chu Yian couldn't help laughing at his words. She wiped the tears from her face and looked up at Qin Sheng, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Okay, if you can handle it, then handle it. If you can't, that's fine too. You still have to focus on military matters right now."

"Anyway, they're just bullying me a little bit, and I can still yell back without getting hurt."

"Just tell me directly if you have anything to say in the future. Don't do this again, okay?"

Qin Sheng's heart trembled, and he hummed softly: "Okay."
