Chapter 15 Apology

Qin Shi slowly released the hand that was holding Li Yuqing, looked at the person in front of him, and apologized in a serious tone.

He said, "I'm sorry. I just said that casually that day. I didn't really want you to cook dinner for two by yourself. I didn't expect you to remember my casual words and made you wait for so long. I didn't mean to deceive you. I went out to meet a friend that day."

"Although I didn't mean to do it, this is indeed my fault. Consider it as I owe you a favor. I can do whatever you want me to do to make it up to you, as long as you tell me."

Inside the spacious house, there was a simple wooden dining table where two people sat facing each other. One was a handsome and flamboyant alpha with an apologetic and sincere expression. He stared intently at the fair and delicate beta opposite him with a serious tone.

Li Yuqing stared at him in a daze. He never expected that such an arrogant young master would actually apologize to him and want to make amends to him.

In fact, I was also stubborn that day, and Qin Shi didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Qin Shi also made a lunch for me at noon that day. At that time, Qin Shi seemed to have just said it casually, and there was no formal agreement for him to make lunch for two and eat it with me in the evening.

He is too idealistic, of course. Xu Yan once said that she takes what others say too seriously, which will hurt herself and make others feel confused and burdened.

Li Yuqing actually didn't know that sometimes people just said things casually and didn't mean them seriously, and he couldn't understand when others were joking with him. In this regard, he seemed very clumsy and would occasionally cause some jokes.

Moreover, it would be fine even if he cooked two meals. There was no need to eat them all at once. After all, there was a refrigerator there. He could put the leftovers in the refrigerator so that they would not be wasted and he would not overeat.

But last night, my brain was just spinning and I had to finish the two servings of food out of spite. I didn't know if I was mad at Qin Shi or if I felt sad. I felt like I had been deceived by Qin Shi and that guy didn't want to get along well with me at all.

But the book has made it very clear that Qin Shi did not like "Li Yuqing", and he is now "Li Yuqing".

Moreover, the original owner "Li Yuqing" fell into the swimming pool on the first day he came here after traveling through the book and disappeared. I wonder if he turned into him.

After waking up, he was reborn into the original owner's body. Will he die at the hands of Qin Shi like the original owner?

According to the plot of the book, this cannon fodder will eventually be offline. He will be used to promote the development of the plot in some unknown time period and overlap with the previous main line. This is how novels are written.

Li Yuqing's mind was racing, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He didn't want to be cannon fodder, nor did he want to die at Qin Shi's hands. He just wanted to live a good life.

It would be fine if he didn't know Qin Shi yet. He could just treat it as killing monsters and passing a dungeon. If he was lucky, he would go through the plot of the book and finally return to his own world successfully, just like playing a game, without any psychological burden.

Even if you are unlucky and really die at the hands of the characters in the book and don't return to your original world, it doesn't matter. Just think of it as a rebirth for yourself.

But he had just spent a few days with Qin Shi, and in his heart he really didn't want to accept that he would die at Qin Shi's hands. This feeling was too unpleasant!

Qin Shi was still waiting for his response to what he had just said, watching the expression on Li Yuqing's face change from dazed to depressed, then to worried, then to sad and suspicious, and finally to angry.

Those expressions were so rich that he couldn't imagine what the beta in front of him was thinking about. He could only ask softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Yuqing looked up at the man who might get him offline in the future. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and whispered to him, "Qin Shi, if you want to kill me in the future, can you please do it quickly, cleanly and painlessly? I'm very afraid of pain."

"What? Say it again?!"

Qin Shi stood up and stared at the beta in front of him in disbelief. He almost doubted his ears. What kind of nonsense was this guy talking about?

He closed his eyes, trying to calm his agitated mood, but he couldn't help but curse angrily, "Murder is illegal, Li Yuqing, are you stupid? Besides, I'm not sick, why would I kill you!"

After being scolded by him, Li Yuqing pursed his lips and stopped talking, but he felt relieved in his heart.

Of course he knew that killing was against the law, but this was the world of books, and he didn't know whether those rich and powerful people here thought killing was against the law.

In his familiar world, he could sometimes see rich and powerful people bullying others. He couldn't imagine how chaotic it would be here.

According to Qin Shi, Qin Shi had no intention of killing him. Even if he accidentally followed the development of the plot and ended up with that ending, it would not be Qin Shi's business.

That's enough. He doesn't feel scared at all. As long as Qin Shi doesn't want to kill him, it's fine.

After traveling through the book and coming here, Qin Shi was the first person he met. Apart from his deskmate Xu Yan, he had no other friends. He wanted to become friends with Qin Shi and get along well with him.

Because he felt that when he was next to Qin Shi, he felt very relaxed and had no worries. It was okay for him to be himself.

The atmosphere fell into an inexplicable silence. The two people were still sitting at the dining table, but their moods were completely different.

One thought the other was really out of his mind, saying inexplicable nonsense and starting to doubt life, while the other was relieved, no longer having so many worries and thoughts, and decided to live here one day at a time and enjoy life.

Qin Shi was so angry that his head hurt. He saw that the beta in front of him acted as if he had not said that stupid thing. His eyes rolled around and he looked at the bowl of porridge on the table with a heartless look.

Thinking about how this guy ate so much last night and refused to throw the food away, and even refused to ask him for help when he had a stomachache in the middle of the night, there was nothing I could do.

He sighed and instructed seriously, "From now on, if you can't finish all the food, don't eat it. Either put it in the refrigerator, throw it away, or keep it and give it to me. Got it?"

"Oh, I see."

Li Yuqing shifted his gaze from the bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge to Qin Shi's face and nodded gently. He knew that he would never do such a stupid thing again. Not only would it be embarrassing, but it would also hurt his stomach.
