“I acknowledge your past methods and talents, but things are different now, and you are no longer the Fu Xingyun you once were.”

The man lowered his head slightly, his eyes obscured by shadows, his expression unreadable. His tone was icy. "What do you want to say?"

"You can't keep people," Qin Weichu said, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead. "Besides, your marriage is purely for mutual benefit."

Fu Xingyun looked at him coldly, "Who told you that?"

"It's obvious without anyone telling you that you don't have feelings for Lin Qiong."

"so what?"

"Then why don't you let him go?" Qin Weichu took a deep breath, his guilt growing stronger. "He'll have a better life without you."

Fu Xingyun's eyes were frighteningly dark, and he tapped his fingers lightly, one after another, "What if I don't?"

Qin Weichu: "Then you are being too selfish. This is unfair to Lin Qiong."

Fu Xingyun raised his head, his deep voice carrying a hint of sarcasm, "Who told you that things are fair between us?"

Qin Weichu's eyes widened slightly, "You..."

Fu Xingyun looked at him, "I won't let him go."

Qin Weichu swallowed hard. "If Lin Qiong wants to leave on her own, will you let her go?"

Fu Xingyun looked at him, the answer in his silence was obvious.

Qin Weichu was somewhat annoyed, "Then what you're doing is no different from controlling someone's personal freedom."

"So what?" Fu Xingyun's eyes flashed with a sinister light, his thin lips moving like knives in the cold wind. "If he dares to leave, break his legs, strip him naked, and imprison him in the house. Even if..."

Even if you crawl on the ground like a worm, you'll never get out.

Qin Weichu's hands trembled slightly, as if he were nailed to the spot.

"You...you..."

Hearing the man's insane reply, Qin Weichu was speechless for a moment.

Fu Xingyun: "Even if he dies, he'll die here with me."

The man's gaze seemed to choke him, suffocating and oppressive. Qin Weichu's legs felt weak and he felt as if he would collapse to the ground at any moment.

Fu Xingyun looked at him, as if she could see right through his thoughts, "Stop thinking about those things. As long as I don't let her go, Lin Qiong will never be able to leave in this lifetime."

Qin Weichu gritted his teeth, about to say something, when a familiar voice came from afar.

"Qin Weichu!!!"

Qin Weichu snapped back to reality in an instant. His earlier bravado vanished like a deflated balloon. He looked at Qin Heng standing not far away and said, "Big Brother."

Qin Heng stepped forward with a dark expression and looked at the two of them. "What are you doing here?"

Fu Xingyun: "Chatting."

"real?"

Qin Heng gave Qin Weichu a warning look, "You didn't say anything you shouldn't have, did you?"

Qin Weichu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Qin Heng walked to Fu Xingyun's side and said, "Alright, go back now."

As he spoke, he pushed the person away, and Qin Weichu quickly followed.

After settling Fu Xingyun in the convertible, Qin Heng looked at Qin Weichu and said, "Come with me."

Qin Weichu shuddered instantly. "Huh?"

Qin Heng said impatiently, "Just come over when I tell you to. Stop with all the nonsense."

Qin Weichu walked cautiously with his elder brother to a relatively secluded spot not far away.

"Tell me, did you tell anyone what you just said?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Weichu quickly said, "Brother, we were just chatting."

Qin Heng's face darkened. "You think I'd believe that?"

Qin Weichu felt a chill run down his spine. "Didn't Fu Xingyun say the same thing?"

"Qin Weichu!"

Qin Weichu trembled instantly in fright and lowered his head, "Didn't...didn't you say anything..."

"explain!"

"I'm just asking him to let Lin Qiong go! Lin Qiong would be better off with me than with him!"

Qin Weichu had barely finished speaking when he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead as he clutched his stomach and collapsed to the ground.

"Qin Weichu, what the hell did I tell you before?! I told you to have some boundaries, but what happened?!"

"So what if you like Lin Qiong? He's married. He married my brother!"

Qin Weichu struggled to his feet. "So what? Fu Xingyun doesn't like him, yet he won't let him leave. Isn't that more shameful than me?"

"Can he be Lin Qiong? He's disabled now and can't even stand up. He needs someone to accompany and help him wherever he goes."

Qin Heng's eyes were bloodshot with anger. "You said that to him too."

Qin Weichu was taken aback.

Qin Heng, enraged, kicked the man hard, yelling, "I'm asking you a question!!"

Qin Weichu's shoulder ached from the kick, and he snapped, "Yes! I told him everything, did I say something wrong?! He's not disabled, is he?!"

Thinking about the filthy thoughts Fu Xingyun had about Lin Qiong, Qin Weichu found Fu Xingyun increasingly terrifying.

He's not a normal person at all.

Qin Weichu yanked the man up from the ground. "Do you even know how Fu Xingyun's legs got crippled? You're making fun of him like that! Don't you have any conscience? Fu Xingyun went to save someone!"

They were trapped under the rubble and couldn't get up!

"I'm asking you, if there was a huge fire around you, would you run? Would you run?!" Qin Heng shouted hoarsely. "Fu Xingyun wasn't incapable of escaping, he wasn't without opportunities to escape, but he chose..."

I went back. Why? Because I heard a child crying!

"If it were you, could you do it?!"

"If it were you, would you go back?!"

Qin Weichu looked at Qin Heng in front of him and was so frightened that his voice trembled, "Big brother..."

"You call me 'Big Brother'? How can you treat your own brother like this?!"

"Only your love is love, and everyone else's isn't?!"

Tears welled up in Qin Weichu's eyes, and he realized how absurd and ridiculous his confrontation with the other person had been. "Brother, I can't help it. I like Lin Qiong. I really like him..."

As he spoke, Qin Weichu grabbed Qin Heng's arm like a drowning person grasping at straws on the bank, "If I don't do this, I really won't have another chance. I... I know I'm such a bastard, a..."

elder brother……"

Seeing Qin Weichu crying uncontrollably, Qin Heng felt a pang of guilt. He then helplessly loosened Qin Weichu's collar, saying, "I also bear responsibility for how you've become. If I had indulged you..."

"If there were less, things wouldn't be like this now."

Qin Heng glanced helplessly at Qin Weichu lying on the ground and said with a dark face, "You'll come with me to apologize to someone later."

After saying that, he walked away, and Qin Weichu slumped on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

As the people who had gathered the dry branches returned from the back of the mountain, the golden oranges on the horizon were preparing to go home.

Lin Qiong placed the dry branches she had gathered next to the stove, then happily skipped back to her tent with the handful of wildflowers she had picked.

"Floating Clouds~"

However, when they lifted the tent flap, they found three heads inside.

Lin Qiong: ? ? ?

Was his technique wrong?

Then I put it down and lifted it again; there were still three.

Qin Heng saw that the person had returned and said, "You've come back just in time."

Lin Qiong: "We're one short for a card game?"

"..."

Lin Qiong took off her shoes and sat down next to Fu Xingyun, shoving the wildflowers in her hand into his. "If you don't gamble, stay away from drugs, prostitution, and prostitution."

Qin Heng: ...

Fu Xingyun: ...

Qin Weichu: ...

Qin Heng: "It wasn't a card game."

Lin Qiong asked in confusion, "Then why are you all gathered here?"

Qin Heng glanced at Qin Weichu, and was about to speak when Fu Xingyun said, "They should leave now."

Qin Weichu looked at Fu Xingyun with some surprise.

Qin Heng and his men had already apologized and understood the meaning in Fu Xingyun's eyes. They got up and led Qin Weichu out of the tent.

Fu Xingyun didn't want Lin Qiong to know.

Because he felt ashamed.

Qin Heng kicked Qin Weichu in exasperation, saying, "You'd better behave yourself from now on."

Qin Weichu touched his leg, which was still sore from being kicked, and remained silent.

Inside the tent, Lin Qiongren looked at the flowers he had picked. "How are they? Aren't they pretty?"

Fu Xingyun glanced at it and replied indifferently, "Hmm."

"Is it pretty?"

"pretty."

After hearing this, Lin Qiong took a large red flower and tucked it behind Fu Xingyun's ear, then smiled foolishly, "It's even prettier this way."

"How do you like it?"

Lin Qiong was taken aback.

Fu Xingyun looked at him and asked again, "Do you like it?"

Lin Qiong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Of course I like it."

The man's gaze was inscrutable. "Do you like me or my money?"

Lin Qiong was somewhat surprised, "Why do you ask that?"

Fu Xingyun: "Just answer."

Lin Qiong answered without hesitation, "I like them both."

You can only choose one.

"There's no choice."

Fu Xingyun's gaze darkened, and the next moment he saw the man lower his head shyly, "I like everything about you, including your money."

"..."

Looking at the person in front of him, Fu Xingyun was momentarily unsure of what he had been hoping for.

Lin Qiong was also a little tired after collecting dry branches all afternoon, so she leaned against Fu Xingyun and said, "Let me lean on you for a while."

The man neither spoke nor moved.

Lin Qiong glanced at the red flower behind the person's ear and smiled, "You look quite good like this."

The young man squinted at him, but he knew that Fu Xingyun was very good-looking.

Then it suddenly occurred to me, "When I went to collect dry branches today, I found a place that I could see."

Fu Xingyun glanced at him and seemed to instantly see through his thoughts. "You want to go."

Lin Qiong nodded with anticipation.

Fu Xingyun: "Then go ahead."

"But I want to go with you." Lin Qiong said, a look of frustration on her face. "It's just a bit difficult."

Fu Xingyun glanced at his own legs and was about to say that he could find someone else when Lin Qiong continued, "I can't get up at three o'clock."

Fu Xingyun: ...

"Just because of that?"

Lin Qiong nodded. "It was still dark then."

Then he looked at Fu Xingyun and said, "Just call me."

Fu Xingyun: "Did I say I was going?"

Lin Qiong looked at Dui expectantly, "Aren't you going?"

"……go."

The temperature dropped slightly on the mountain at night, and Lin Qiong wrapped people's legs up before taking them out to eat.

The person sat by the stove, and since the meal wasn't ready yet, decided to bake some marshmallows to tide them over.

Lin Qiong picked up a skewer and warmed it by the fire like a little old man, then glanced to the side and asked, "What happened to your shoulder?"

Qin Weichu was startled. "No?"

Lin Qiong looked at the person's left shoulder. "Injured?"

Qin Weichu covered it up by saying, "I tripped and fell."

Lin Qiong understood. "That's your style."

"..."

After Lin Qiong finished speaking, she turned her head and saw that the cotton candy had caught fire. She quickly took it back and blew on it, and luckily it was salvaged, although one part was a little burnt.

Lin Qiong looked at the slightly burnt cotton candy and then smiled.

This piece is fine with Fu Xingyun~

Then she ran over to Fu Xingyun with the freshly baked marshmallows, saying, "Here, have some."

Fu Xingyun: ...

Lin Qiong's eyes sparkled. "Eat?"

The man opened his mouth and took a bite, but the cotton candy was so hot that the inside had melted into threads. Fu Xingyun gasped instantly.

"hiss……"

Lin Qiong was startled. "What happened? Did you get burned?!"

As she spoke, she quickly grabbed the man's head and blew air onto his lips.

Fu Xingyun was about to turn her head away as the lips drew closer when she glanced over and found Qin Weichu looking in her direction.

Then she stopped what she was doing and let someone blow air onto her lips.
