Synopsis: Qin Sheng (Gong/Attack) x Xu Zhaoyi (Shou/Receive).
Not long after Qin Sheng transmigrated into a sickly villain in a certain 'Dragon King' web novel, his system stealthily ...
Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Just a straight man with a clear conscience...
[When did he go blind?] Noodles was horrified.
Qin Sheng was originally in mixed feelings after hearing this comment. He suspected that his wife was mocking him, but he had no evidence. As a result, the brat Noodles was still talking nonsense here.
He was wearing a mask and had a gloomy face so no one could see him at the moment. He could only express his dissatisfaction in a muffled voice and tried to kick the straight man in the sore spot.
He tilted his head and asked seriously, "You gays, the words you use to praise your same sex are so... nightclub-y?"
“………”
He didn't get the same reaction as a cat whose tail was stepped on, which was also because he had made a wrong decision. His wife had long passed this stage and had already accepted in her heart that he was not so straight. However, Xu Zhaoyi was really hit by his words, which were neither too light nor too heavy.
It's not because the other party said he was gay. He had fallen in love with a real man, so there was nothing to be ashamed of hearing such words. He didn't have the mentality of resolutely breaking away from homosexuality just because he didn't like other men and only liked Qin Sheng.
Not to mention those messing around, who wouldn't only like that one person when they truly like him/her?
As for if you unfortunately break up, who will be the next person you fall in love with, male or female, we can only say that it is a matter of fate and no one can predict it. In essence, saying "I won't fall in love with another man" is not much different from "I won't fall in love with another person".
Xu Zhaoyi didn't know whether words like 'I don't like men, I only like you' could make the other person feel more secure, or whether they could be moved by the uniqueness of this sentence.
He just liked Qin Sheng, so he didn't want his attitude to make Qin Sheng feel that he liked him but didn't even have the courage to admit that he was gay, as if a straight man condescended to like a man but was afraid of being associated with the word homosexual.
He intuitively felt that Qin Sheng cared more about the latter. After all, the other person was a rational and almost indifferent person. Like him, he would not take the promises made when the love was deep too seriously. Being realistic was more important.
When people with their personalities are together, what they want more is a tacit understanding and resonance in thinking.
This happened to be the case between him and Qin Sheng.
Although he was in trouble because Qin Sheng exposed his cultivation level, and although the other party inadvertently gave him a seemingly reasonable explanation, he was still worried in his heart. He always felt that if it was just like this, there was no need for Qin Sheng to hide it from him in such a serious manner.
There must be other things going on here, and what Qin Sheng revealed during the chat was just one corner of it.
But at least the other party had given a deadline for honest communication. Since he still liked her and objectively couldn't leave her, he would just wait patiently. He felt that their personalities were compatible and the chances of them getting married were still very high.
Xu Zhaoyi felt that Qin Sheng's words were unpleasant at the moment, mainly because this person kept him out of the matter. He and Qin Sheng were gay, so what did Ling Huan mean by claiming to be a straight man in front of him?
You can't be trying to draw a line between you and him to avoid suspicion, right?
Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and felt that it was not impossible. Qin Sheng had done this kind of thing before!
While pretending to be a sunny and cheerful big boy to flirt with him, she secretly hoped that she would not be seduced by him or something.
In the end, the two looked at each other, gave up the conversation that would hurt each other, and entered the Xu family yard together.
As soon as they entered the door, they felt something was wrong. They felt obviously colder than the last time they came. When they looked up from the yard, the sky was a different color from the one outside, it was gray.
Of course, Qin Sheng followed secretly last time and couldn't tell anyone, lest Xu Zhaoyi mistakenly think he was a pervert.
Xu Zhaoyi glanced at the liar next to him and couldn't help asking, "Are you cold?"
The cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage should be immune to cold and heat, just like Ling Huan's attire, it can be said that he is experiencing autumn above and summer below, each season in its own way. But when he thought that Qin Sheng was actually in poor health, he couldn't help but worry.
"Of course not." Qin Sheng glanced at the holes in his jeans. In fact, he felt quite uncomfortable wearing such pants. If he had known that the vest would fall off so quickly, he would not have created such a persona that would only hurt himself.
He wasn't cold, but he felt ashamed of being caught as an adult wearing children's clothes.
"Qin Sheng told you everything, didn't he?" He said helplessly, finishing the act before explaining, "If it's cold, I might need to practice martial arts to ward off the cold, but it's not about the weather. As long as I don't get affected by the bad winds in this yard, I won't feel cold."
Xu Zhaoyi rolled his eyes at him after hearing the first sentence.
"How to solve this problem? Do you have any ideas?" He had heard this person say this at home. Apart from injecting spiritual energy and preventing fire, he had no other ideas. But perhaps there were some things that Qin Sheng could not say, but Ling Huan could.
Ling Huan really did have one: "There are many ways to expel evil spirits in Feng Shui. However, if the situation is serious, even if we ask a Feng Shui master to use exorcism methods, the effect will be very slow. Moreover, those with weaker cultivation will probably not want to stay here for long."
In fact, when Xu Zhaoyi released the corpse ghosts for revenge, he did not fail to deal with the aftermath. At least he dealt with the ghosts in the corpse ghosts and prevented them from running out and harming others.
But if the corpse ghost's soul is gone, it can be said that it broke free from its restraints and took revenge, but was then devoured and its soul was shattered. However, its body cannot be taken away, and it must stay here to play the role of a victim and a murderer of the whole family.
So that night the place was filled with corpse odor, and many people died. Just by coincidence, it created an environment that became a breeding ground for evil spirits, and the house was contaminated.
Or maybe Qin Sheng wanted to give Xu Zhaoyi a surprise, so he secretly asked Xu Wensen and his wife, and tried to restore this place to the way it was when Xu Zhaoyi still had both his parents. When he was about to start the construction, he symbolically asked a Feng Shui master to calculate the date, and that's when he discovered the problem.
Qin Sheng didn't tell Xu Zhaoyi about this. He was planning to continue after resolving the issue. It wasn't that he was stubborn, but giving up halfway would really drive someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy, especially since he had already told his father-in-law and mother-in-law about this idea.
"But after receiving your husband's message, I did some research. Feng Shui masters generally have low levels of skill. Just because they can't solve the problem with the same method doesn't mean we can't."
Ling Huan raised his chin and feigned concern, "The ritual takes a fixed amount of time, seven days and seven nights. You're about to get married, and you're staying out all night with me for such a long time, is that really okay?"
When Xu Zhaoyi heard the words "your husband", his eyelids twitched a few times, and when he heard the words "under the melon field and plum tree", his eyelids twitched a few more times. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and laughed out of anger.
"It's said online that this is one of the top ten misconceptions of straight men." Xu Zhaoyi scoffed and looked at him: "It's just that I think the gay people around me are interested in me."
He was originally mocking the other person for thinking of himself as a straight man and not knowing the limits by talking to him in a flirtatious manner, but after he finished saying that, his face turned red.
Because he realized that he had made the same mistake with Qin Sheng in the beginning. The only difference was that Qin Sheng was really too nice to him, so he could barely be considered to have a reason and basis, but later he was not so confident.
Qin Sheng didn't know that Xu Zhaoyi felt uncomfortable because he was being ridiculed, but he was quite surprised that Xu Zhaoyi didn't shy away from using the word "homosexual" to refer to himself.
But when I think about it, I feel that this is quite normal. It is problematic to get angry out of shame!
Just a straight man with a clear conscience.
"Okay, as long as you don't mind, it's a deal. We'll stay here for seven days and seven nights." He made the final decision.
"Wait..." Xu Zhaoyi hesitated. "I'll ask Qin Sheng for his opinion. He probably won't mind, but I have to ask. Otherwise, if he knows I acted first and asked for your permission later, he'll be angry with me again!"
He really thought so. Even though Ling Huan and Qin Sheng were actually the same person, if Qin Sheng separated himself clearly, no one would be able to do anything to him.
Xu Zhaoyi was worried that Qin Sheng didn't know that he had discovered that they were a couple. He seemed to care too little about Qin Sheng's opinion, so Qin Sheng would definitely think more about it.
Qin Sheng was speechless for a moment: "..." Click on him, right?
After a long while, he shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Then go talk to him. I'll prepare the ingredients for the ritual. If he doesn't want you here, I can do it alone."
After he said that, he turned and left.
Xu Zhaoyi couldn't put it into words. His true split personality wasn't as difficult as Qin Sheng's clear-headed duality. He watched him disappear, then turned around and spoke with his mind: [Qin Sheng.]
[Yes, what's up?] His tone was gentle and leisurely. If Xu Zhaoyi hadn't known that he was right in front of him, the image of Qin Sheng sitting on the balcony drinking coffee would have immediately popped into his mind. There was absolutely no flaw at all.
He reported perfunctorily, avoiding the main point: "I want to stay here for a few days, is that okay?"
Qin Sheng had just been ridiculed by him, so how could he live up to his sharp comments? He asked: [With Ling Huan?]
[………] Xu Zhaoyi choked. He reported it just as a formality to show respect. In his opinion, Qin Sheng should be fine too. But you actually got out of breath after being told you were fat, right?
[Yes, with him.] He said nothing more, waiting for Qin Sheng to perform.
Qin Sheng didn't agree with him. He was silent for a moment before speaking in a normal tone: "Then please be safe and have fun together."
Xu Zhaoyi: [………]My heart aches.
Ling Huan came back not long after. It was unknown whether he was prepared or he could shrink the distance to an inch, so he came and went very quickly.
Ever since Xu Zhaoyi knew that Qin Sheng might really be in poor health, he had doubts about the idea of scientific cultivation, always worried that he would overdraw something in advance.
Although Qin Sheng is sensible, his situation is indeed too bad. To put it bluntly, even if he has to overdraw everything in his life, it is worth it if he can destroy the Qin family.
At least I'm free in the afterlife.
"How do you do it? Teach me and I'll do it." He stepped forward and took the box from the other person's hand.
Qin Sheng didn't insist on doing it himself. After directing Xu Zhaoyi to set up a simple altar, he glanced at the time and said, "There are still two hours until noon. Let's find a place to wait for a while."
Xu Zhaoyi looked around, went into the house, found two lounge chairs, and placed them under the shade of the tree.
"...That's it?" Qin Sheng joked, "I thought you'd at least show me your bedroom!"
"There's no sunlight in the house, and the evil spirits are even stronger. Don't go in to rest. Just make do here for a while!"
Xu Zhaoyi curled his lips: "Besides, my bedroom is small and not ventilated, and no one has lived in it for a long time. You will have to cover your nose when you go in and come out."
"Well, I heard from Qin Sheng that your parents paid the lion's share of the bill for buying this house. You, the relatives who usurped this position, really deserve to die. It's a pity they don't think so themselves."
Otherwise, how would he have the nerve to hold on to his resentment even after death?
"Why does Qin Sheng tell you everything?" Xu Zhaoyi lost his temper and complained with a half-smile.
He himself doesn't know about this, and his parents wouldn't tell him about this when he was little.
"That's what I wanted to say. How could he even tell you about my weakness? If you have any bad intentions, wouldn't I be doomed?"
At the end, she said seriously: "Your husband is really not good at talking. Please help me talk to him later!"
What is it like to blame someone else and be shameless?
That's it.
Xu Zhaoyi was so shocked by his answer that he didn't have the energy to care about the reference to "your husband". After a long while, he finally found his voice: "Well, I'll go back and give him a good beating for you."
"...Are you serious?" Qin Sheng was speechless. "Your sick husband can't stand your domestic violence."
Xu Zhaoyi glared at him and said, "Don't call him a sickly person. His health is not good, but it's not that bad."
"I just want to use this word to remind you not to be too violent." He said with a hint of meaning: "I guarantee that if you hit him with a pillow, he will be unconscious for a long time."
“………”Xu Zhaoyi’s heart tightened.
So that smack in the face with the pillow this morning really made Qin Sheng uncomfortable? He was too proud to say it, only to complain in a wronged manner when he changed his identity.
He almost stood up and blurted out "Is Qin Sheng feeling better now?", but luckily he held himself back.
Tons of guilt suddenly weighed on me.
Noodles was amazed: [Host, the villain track isn't for you. You're more suited to the kind of literature that involves being tortured and then burned to death. Look at your pitiful technique, it's too good to be true.]
It also depends on the person. Qin Sheng has a good idea: If the person you're dealing with has no sympathy at all, no matter how miserable you act, it's like flirting with a blind man.
[So you can only bully Little Daddy?] Noodles exclaimed in surprise: [Then you are really mean!]
Qin Sheng smirked: [Yes.]
After the two of them waited on the recliner for a while, Xu Zhaoyi began to feel sleepy. The main reason was that he didn't sleep the whole night. If Qin Sheng hadn't scared him with the Qin family's affairs, he would have planned to catch up on his sleep in the morning.
"Go to sleep." Qin Sheng glanced at him and said softly, "I'll watch the time and wake you up."
"No need..." He was worried that Qin Sheng could handle the situation alone. Ling Huan alone would be fine, but he was not used to letting Qin Sheng stay in a dangerous place.
Xu Zhaoyi opened his eyes wide, trying to cheer himself up, but suddenly he felt his vision darken. Ling Huan's hand gently covered his eyes, and the touch was slightly cool, exactly the same as Qin Sheng's, which was a temperature that made Xu Zhaoyi, who had a high body temperature, feel very comfortable.
"Go to sleep." His voice was so gentle that it seemed magical.
Xu Zhaoyi was really coaxed to sleep by him.
Soon it was noon. Qin Sheng looked at his sleeping wife, hesitated for a moment, took off his leather jacket and covered her belly without waking her up.
After all, he was the one who caused Xu Zhaoyi to suffer from insomnia, so he should stop being so rude. Qin Sheng sighed and went to work.
As we all know, leather jackets are a bit heavy, and the rivet decoration on the cuffs is pressing hard between Xu Zhaoyi's upper and lower body, just...
Not only was it Qin Sheng's breath, but it also rose and fell with Xu Zhaoyi's breathing, making its presence quite strong. In addition, the two of them had quite a lot of close physical contact recently. It was not surprising that a young man who was just beginning to fall in love and full of vigor would have a colorful dream in broad daylight.
When Xu Zhaoyi woke up naturally, it was already evening and the sky was getting dark. Qin Sheng was still sitting cross-legged in front of the cushion on the altar, silently chanting spells to exorcise evil spirits.
Xu Zhaoyi raised his hand and found that he was covered with Ling Huan's coat. He looked over and saw Qin Sheng wearing a black vest and sitting cross-legged in meditation not far away.
Before Xu Zhaoyi could repent for the absurdity in his dream, he looked at Qin Sheng's upright posture in meditation, which formed a huge contrast with his inappropriate clothes. Instead of feeling a trace of holiness, he felt even more delusional.
What a sin.
He felt the cool breeze in the evening and wanted to return the coat to Qin Sheng, but as soon as he picked it up, he realized that his body had undergone unspeakable changes due to the dream, and he felt unwell.
It wasn't completely dark yet, and this was in the yard, it was broad daylight.
Xu Zhaoyi was so embarrassed that he almost couldn't face anyone. He gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his body's reaction. Fortunately, he had a coat to block it, so he didn't die. Thinking of Qin Sheng saying that he could use internal energy to keep warm, he felt a little relieved while holding on to his coat.
He breathed calmly and stared at Qin Sheng unconsciously, fearing that he would find out that he had woken up at this time. But the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Qin Sheng opened his eyes helplessly because he couldn't stand being stared at by him anymore.
"Have you slept enough?" He stood up and walked over.
Xu Zhaoyi pursed his lips, hugged Qin Sheng's coat and nodded, looking unusually well-behaved. Qin Sheng felt suspicious and leaned over to touch his forehead. It seemed a little hot, but far from a fever.
From this angle... this damn black vest is simply not worth wearing at all. Xu Zhaoyi felt powerless in his heart. In his previous life, he never dreamed that one day he would be unable to take his eyes off a man's body!
The fever that had just subsided now became even more intense. Xu Zhaoyi had no choice but to cough, trying to hide the truth: "Nothing, I just felt a little cold after waking up."
“…” Qin Sheng frowned even tighter. Xu Zhaoyi had half fire constitution and was practicing the Starfire Technique. He might not feel cold even if he wore only a single layer of clothing in the middle of winter.
This is definitely not normal.
"Are you sure you feel cold?" Qin Sheng couldn't believe it and confirmed it again.
Xu Zhaoyi groaned inwardly, realizing that he had made a stupid move, but now he could only continue speaking: "Well, it might be a psychological effect. I was confused from sleep and my mind is not clear. It will be fine after a while."
"Okay, then you lie down for a while. I'll go get a bottle of water from the car outside for you." Qin Sheng said as he walked out.
Xu Zhaoyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But Qin Sheng turned his back and said to Noodles: [Scan your little dad's body. Maybe he wasn't paying attention while he was sleeping and was invaded by evil spirits.]
