Chapter 69 Chapter 69 A pure kiss

The Qin family seemed to be busy these past two days because of their wedding. From time to time, guests came from far away in advance, and the mess made Xu Zhaoyi reluctant to leave the room.

No one knows what Noodles is doing, but as long as he is in the room, the whole cat disappears.

Xu Zhaoyi had nothing to do, couldn't practice cultivation, and didn't even have a cat to pet. He was so bored that he sat with Qin Sheng at the head of the bed and read his work emails that were filled with numbers and reports.

"No wonder you don't want to go home. Your house is far from the city, and there's not much going on. Doesn't anyone get bored?"

Even if Qin Sheng is special and can act tyrannically in this family, it is meaningless. Obviously, neither he nor Qin Sheng are the kind of people who can enjoy it.

He rested his chin on Qin Sheng's shoulder and read for a while before feeling dizzy, so he closed his eyes and complained silently.

Aside from the initial pause in typing caused by the posture, Qin Sheng let him do what he wanted. After all, he was the one who first suggested they desensitize themselves to intimate physical contact. Now that he was trying to avoid suspicion, what did those hugs mean? Did he think he'd been a hooligan to his wife for seven days?

Hearing Xu Zhaoyi's muttering in his ear, he just smiled faintly and dealt with the email while answering his questions distractedly.

"They may not be bored, but the Qin family's environment is better for cultivation. Not to mention the spiritual energy in the city, there's no air pollution, thank goodness. Between two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. Even if it's boring, we just have to endure it."

[What about you? How did you get by in the past?]

[…I don’t remember.]

Qin Sheng raised his eyes slightly and observed Xu Zhaoyi's expression through the reflection of the computer screen, but happened to meet a pair of smiling eyes, as if he had expected him to do this.

[Testing me?] Qin Sheng chuckled, then calmly looked away and pointed out the truth.

"If you think so, then so be it." Xu Zhaoyi remained noncommittal. He didn't actually have any specific doubts, he just felt that Qin Sheng was a bit suspicious, so he decided to give it a try regardless of whether there would be any results.

Qin Sheng's reaction was indeed strange, but it didn't prove anything. Perhaps Qin Sheng just didn't want to mention his ignorant and dangerous past when he was kept in the dark, or perhaps there was indeed another hidden story.

Xu Zhaoyi was not so stupid as to delve into the matter at this critical moment.

Mainly because he was bored and Noodles was not around, he could only tease Qin Sheng. Unfortunately, Qin Sheng's mind was as deep as a pool of water. When he threw a stone into it, it sank without any splash, and his reaction was really boring.

It's strange to say, before he realized that he liked Qin Sheng, he always thought that he would prefer girls with clearer minds. This is also the reason why he never developed any romantic feelings for Nian Yue.

Jin Nianyue is very smart and can understand people's hearts. Talking to her is like chatting with a psychologist, which is true. But people cannot be seen through too much all the time, especially those who are not strong enough in blunt force.

If Nian Yue looks at him from the perspective of choosing a spouse, she would probably be dissatisfied with him, so they are just good friends.

But in terms of understanding people's hearts, Qin Sheng is clearly better than Jin Nianyue.

At least Jin Nianyue sees through it but doesn't say it out loud, but Qin Sheng may not. He will judge the situation better and after speaking out, he will add a layer of aggressiveness wrapped under the gentle and harmless surface.

Just like just now, if it was Nian Yue, she would definitely look away as if nothing had happened and would never ask herself directly if I was testing her.

Although Qin Sheng's tone seemed to be a gentle teasing, it was actually a warning to remind him to be careful.

Qin Sheng is more terrifying than Nian Yue in this respect, but also more adept at it. He is a soft-spoken person who always stops at the right time.

Logically speaking, he is not the type that Xu Zhaoyi would like at all. His gender and personality are not right.

If he was just being nice to Qin Sheng, he should have forced himself to change his ways when he discovered that Qin Sheng had concealed many things and that even the fact that he was being particularly nice to him was due to his own unusual behavioral logic.

But Xu Zhaoyi didn't have that. He didn't quite understand himself and could only accept his fate. No one wanted to reason with him about this kind of thing.

Qin Sheng's veiled reply made him feel restless and gave rise to a desire to conquer.

God knows he was never this kind of person before. He doesn't like others provoking him at all!

When he was a child, he didn't understand why Zhang Wuji was attracted to Zhao Min. But now, Xu Zhaoyi sighed and glanced at Qin Sheng...

It was also the time when he met his own Minmin Temur.

His 'Minmin Temur' heard him sigh, raised his hand and patted him on the head, and said with a smile: "Okay, wait until I finish the remaining work, I will take you out for a walk."

Xu Zhaoyi slapped his hand away, but when he saw a red spot on the back of his hand, he regretted it and pulled it back to rub it.

This meant that Qin Sheng could only type with one hand.

[What's there to see around here?] He remembered that the area around the Qin family was either mountains or water, and that the people living nearby were all branches of the Qin family. In this area, it was almost like they were the kings of the land.

Although Qin Sheng's manor is not small, it is still dwarfed by this place and is not so isolated from the world.

[No matter how far away you are from the hustle and bustle, you still need to eat. The nearest city is about an hour's drive away.]

Xu Zhaoyi chuckled: [You don't want to take me to the vegetable market, do you?] Or the wholesale kind.

[It's not really a wet market, but there are one or two small shopping malls where you can buy snacks and the like.]

[That's very lifelike.] Xu Zhaoyi wanted to ask if you had been there as a child, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Qin Sheng understood his sentiment after hearing it. He meant he wasn't interested in the snacks at the small mall, so he stopped talking about it and said, "Do you want to know where the noodles are?"

[Just say thank you.]

[Okay.] Quite polite.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "I'll have Noodles go back to Husheng and take out all the jade from the warehouse. I'll infuse them with spiritual energy based on their quality and then give them to Feng Lili. I'll have her hold a spiritual stone auction later."

Xu Zhaoyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. In an era when spiritual energy is scarce, these spirit stones full of spiritual energy are absolutely priceless treasures.

Although it is not as cost-free as spiritual water, spiritual stones can be explained as collected from naturally dangerous places and are not so eye-catching.

If it was just about making money, it would be a huge profit, but Xu Zhaoyi knew Qin Sheng had no shortage of money, so he said, "What evil idea did you come up with? Tell me about it in detail."

"What bad ideas could I have? I just want to have something manageable to grab everyone's attention when needed, especially at an auction like this. Once it's confirmed that the spirit stones are genuine, Qin Kangnian will definitely bring people there in person, and my uncles will also try to join them."

[…Has anyone ever told you that you have a tendency to be overly controlling?]

Xu Zhaoyi was shocked. He certainly remembered that when Qin Sheng went to Hanyan Luoxing before, he mentioned that he wanted to do something in Hanyan Forest, but he was forced to give up because there were suspected Qing Dynasty people from the Qin family living there.

This approach was blocked, so the man spent a day and a night to find another way out and found another more reasonable method to achieve his original goal.

Qin Sheng didn't feel offended and turned his head to look at him: [Just think that you are praising me.]

Xu Zhaoyi rolled his eyes: [I’m sorry, I don’t think I meant that.]

Qin Sheng laughed and asked him, "But don't you think it's reassuring to have a teammate like me?"

[It's reassuring to just treat you as a teammate, but having a sweetheart like you is also quite frightening!]

[………] The sudden and blunt response left Qin Sheng stunned: [So you're kicking me out of this category?]

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Xu Zhaoyi sighed solemnly, "There seems to be something wrong with my brain. I still like you very much, not even a little bit less."

Qin Sheng found that it was actually very difficult for people to break away from clichés. He was actually relieved that he was not deducted points. This mentality can be described as selfish and bad.

Now he really didn't know what expression to make. He looked at him with a complicated expression. Xu Zhaoyi's heart moved when he saw him looking at him, and he intuitively felt that he should do something.

So without having time to report to his brain, he put his hand on the back of Qin Sheng's head, turned his head slightly and kissed him directly.

It was not until their lips touched that Xu Zhaoyi realized what he had done. He decided to go all the way and pressed down with a little force, giving the other person a real kiss on the lips, turning the simple touch into an ambiguous kiss.

His action came without warning and so quickly. In addition, Qin Sheng trusted him enough and was already used to close contact with him from time to time, so for a moment he didn't react and had to hide.

This was not the first time. Qin Sheng blinked. He even had the mood to take the time to sum up. Both times Xu Zhaoyi kissed him, he was confused and bewildered.

Let's not talk about the last time he pissed off Xu Zhaoyi, but why was it this time? Was the atmosphere just now so good that it made him unable to control himself? Or did he say something wrong and irritate someone?

But this time Xu Zhaoyi didn't bite or chew it. He just felt his lips being sucked lightly, so it shouldn't be the latter.

Many things went through his mind in those few seconds, but until Xu Zhaoyi let him go, he didn't remember that he could actually push the person away.

[Um, you… this, are you disgusted?] Xu ​​Zhaoyi only realized it belatedly after he finished and became uneasy, his speech becoming rather incoherent.

Qin Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head frankly. He just felt a little weird in his heart, but it was far from disgust.

Xu Zhaoyi immediately smiled and took advantage of the situation by pecked him on the lips again.

Qin Sheng pursed his lips, and finally had no choice but to indulge him without even saying a word, "Don't do this again in the future."

Not prohibiting means allowing. Xu Zhaoyi performed an enterprise-level reading comprehension on Qin Sheng's acquiescence, so he directly put his arms around Qin Sheng's waist from behind and put his chin back on his shoulder. This time, when he looked at those boring work reports, he didn't feel that the time was long and unbearable.

What could Qin Sheng do when he was being hugged? They were getting married tomorrow, so of course he could only let his wife do what she wanted.

The next day, the wedding took place as scheduled.

This time Xu Zhaoyi did not get up late again. He pulled Qin Sheng out of bed early in the morning to change his clothes.

Noodles is back too, this time the blazer he's wearing is black, probably because he's learned from the last time when the brown one made him look too fat. In short, he looks a little slimmer.

The formal wedding ceremony is not as complicated as the engagement ceremony. The engagement ceremony requires notifying heaven and earth to establish a good relationship between the two families, while the wedding ceremony is to entertain guests and announce the official conclusion of the marriage. Simply put, the latter is just a part of human social interaction.

Amidst the packed house of guests, Qin Sheng brought Xu Zhaoyi out, walked up to the familiar podium, and took the engagement letter that the emcee had handed to them, which they had written when they got engaged last time.

The heart of steel and stone remains unchanged despite wind and frost.

Lovebirds, sharing life and death.

We stand together through thick and thin.

…

My determination will never change, and I will never change it until I die. *

The two of them held the engagement letter in their hands and swore to each other according to every word written on it. After they finished their oaths, they looked up at each other, and a sense of fate came over them as if all this had been predetermined.

When Qin Sheng thought about the blessing of heaven and earth, was it really just guiding him and Xu Zhaoyi to put aside suspicion and work together?

Xu Zhaoyi was simply thinking that when he wrote the engagement letter, he had worried whether he would have to pay a price to break the engagement that was blessed by heaven and earth. He didn't expect that in just a few months, his mentality would change completely.

Man really can't predict the future.

After the oath, the procedure was completed. Qin Kangnian took Wu Yunlian to toast on behalf of his son and daughter-in-law. This scene of Fan Tiangang had been seen once at the engagement ceremony, so no one was surprised.

It was at this time that Qin Xing brought Gu Qingyue back. To be honest, if he hadn't come, Qin Shi would have been waiting impatiently, and Qin Sheng was worried that he would be so radical as to kill his father with his own hands in order to make things difficult for him, causing Qin Yongnian to die today.

[This is too exaggerated.] Xu Zhaoyi couldn't imagine that someone would actually do such a thing. How did Qin Sheng come up with this?

[It's not impossible. Qin Yongnian is now blind and disabled, paralyzed in bed and abandoned to himself. Do you think he can still have a fatherly heart towards Qin Shi, who indirectly caused him to become like this?]

Qin Sheng had a cold smile on his face. "Everyone in the Qin family is selfish and cold-blooded at heart. If I can imagine it, he will definitely be able to do it. He hasn't done it yet, but it's just that the stimulation is not enough."

Xu Zhaoyi tightened his hand upon hearing this.

[There's no need to lump yourself in with them.] He said in a gentle tone: [You are much clearer about gratitude and resentment.]

He didn't say that Qin Sheng actually had a soft heart. You could tell by the way he protected Zhou Jianwei, because he understood that Qin Sheng had to harden his heart to be invincible. Praising him for his kindness was not comforting, but adding to his psychological pressure.

At least at this stage, Qin Sheng doesn't need to be kind. As long as he can clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment, he has done his job impeccably.

Qin Sheng felt a little warm in his heart, and without saying a word, he just silently held his hand back.

On the other side, Qin Xing walked up to him with Gu Qingyue by the hand, looking both proud and nervous: "Brother, happy wedding! I specially brought my boyfriend back to attend your wedding. Are you happy? Are you surprised?"

As soon as he finished speaking these sarcastic words, Gu Qingyue's eyes showed surprise, but he quickly concealed it.

Qin Xing himself was also very upset. He didn't want to get into trouble with Qin Sheng in public again! He was not stupid. He could clearly guess from his mother's attitude that Qin Sheng's identity might be complicated, but he insisted on going all the way to the end!

In addition, Gu Qingyue had been hinting to him recently about the importance of building a good relationship with Qin Sheng. He finally realized that he should win over Qin Sheng. Before coming here, he had prepared a lot of speeches in his mind in order to show his goodwill to Qin Sheng.

As a result, I just opened my mouth...that's it.

Qin Sheng was so amused by his stupid look that he turned his head and laughed, not noticing the surprise that flashed in Gu Qingyue's eyes as he looked at him.

Only Xu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment after accidentally glancing at it, and then sneered.

[Tsk, hold back on your hormones, your brother-in-law and cousin-in-law seems to be falling in love with you at first sight!]

Qin Sheng: […]

What the hell???
