Chapter 188 Qi Yan, Welcome Home
"Aren't you curious?" Gu Nan asked.
Qi Yan shook his head gently, looking up at her with soft and bright eyes, "It's no wonder that my sister is so powerful."
Gu Nan smiled. This child was so blind that he might really think she was some kind of deity descended to earth. However, he didn't say anything and changed the subject. "What request did you make to the old lady?"
"I said I didn't want to see Pei Xing, and she agreed."
In fact, his original words were that he hoped Pei Xing would return to the slums with nothing.
But Old Lady An said that she could manage the Cui family but not the Pei family, so she could not agree to this request. But she also said that as long as she was alive, she would never let Pei Xing set foot in the Cui family again, and she would not give him any inheritance even after her death.
The old lady did what she could and opened her heart to him with a clear preference.
Qi Yan was disappointed, but knew that this was the best arrangement she could give, so he accepted it.
Qi Yan rubbed Gu Nan's knees and said, "I also said that the truth of that year should be announced as soon as possible, preferably before the exam."
"Will you think I'm going too far, sister?" he asked softly, as if seeking her approval.
The meaning of this condition was very clear. It was to disrupt Pei Xing's review rhythm and make him do poorly in the final exam. It was a small but painless revenge.
But in Gu Nan's opinion, failure in an exam is nothing compared to 19 years of domestic violence and abuse.
Even this so-called blow was not a blow at all to Qi Yan, as he had completed his final review two days ago.
"It's not too much, it's your right." Gu Nan felt nothing inside, and even wanted to praise, "Well done."
However, she wasn't here to help Qi Yan with revenge, so she could only suppress her inappropriate words and said, "Just keep moving forward and boldly pursue your dreams. Don't bother yourself with people who aren't worth it. I will always support you."
Qi Yan looked at her steadily for a long time, and finally showed his first smile of the night.
His eyes were shallow, but bright and soft, as if the sea of stars in the sky were flowing in his eyes.
He straightened up and leaned over to kiss her, without lust, only tenderness. As their lips and teeth rubbed against each other, he mumbled a few words, "I believe you."
The gloomy life suddenly encountered a huge change. A ray of light seemed to leak out from the dark sky, but it still could not illuminate the way forward.
Qi Yan was very confused. The unknown relatives made him hesitate, and the wrong and hopeless first half of his life made him resentful.
He had nowhere to vent his feelings, like an isolated island abandoned in the fog.
In this cold era, human indifference has been infinitely magnified, kindness has become an endangered luxury, and people can only numb themselves day after day in order to survive hard in this dull container.
Qi Yan suddenly understood why many people said it was an ecstatic happiness.
When you are physically entangled with the person you love, the warmth of their bodies will seep into your heart along the touching skin, gently soothing the scars.
He greedily asked Gu Nan for things, and Gu Nan gave him a precious and fragile warmth without reservation.
Qi Yan didn't know when he started crying. He buried his head in the pillow and let out a long, wailing sob from his throat.
This desperate and desolate life finally saw the dawn before collapse.
She was the celestial light left over from the giant axe when chaos first split, and then she selflessly sprinkled into his life.
He will follow in her footsteps and move towards a brave new life.

Qi Yan almost didn't sleep all night. He held the sleeping Gu Nan in his arms and saw the scenery outside the window on a winter night in the dim night light.
It was not until dawn that he quietly got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
The bracelet suddenly vibrated.
Click on it.
It was a reply email from the magazine.
"Dear artist Qi Yan: Hello. After a meeting, the editorial department has decided that your manuscript does not meet the magazine's publishing requirements. Thank you for your submission and wish you a happy life."
His cartoon was rejected.
After nearly half a month of review, it was finally rejected.
Qi Yan thought he would be very sad, but he was stunned for a moment, then exited the email and continued to make breakfast for Gu Nan.
There will definitely be disappointment. This comic took up a lot of his effort, and the preparation work alone took several years. But for some reason, he is not very sad. Maybe it is because there is something he is more looking forward to than the comic.
He calmly prepared breakfast and then went to the bedroom to wake Gu Nan up.
While eating, he pretended to be casual and said to Gu Nan: "My comic was rejected."
“Pah.”
The fried egg fell into the soy milk.
Gu Nan's eyes widened. "No way, you lied to me."
Qi Yan shook his head sadly.
Gu Nan still didn't believe it. Even Qi Yan's manuscript was rejected. It seemed that she didn't take the hero's talents and skills seriously.
She snapped her fingers. "I know this must be Long Aotian's first step in his counterattack. He's trying to suppress someone before he can praise them. Just wait, it won't be long before the publishing house comes to you on their knees and begs you."
Qi Yan was amused by her, "Why do you trust me so much?"
Gu Nan said as if it was a matter of course, "If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
If you don’t believe the male protagonist, who should you believe? Do you believe her, this little cannon fodder?
The smile on his lips grew deeper, Qi Yan quickly drank some soy milk, trying to suppress it, but he couldn't.
The feeling of being trusted unconditionally made him happier than publishing a truckload of comics.
"I believe you too." Qi Yan whispered.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Qi Yan suddenly became a hot search.
News releases about the real and fake young masters were flying all over the sky like snowflakes.
In addition, except for the Cui family members who are in the military and government, everyone else, including retired old ladies, forwarded the same press release on social platforms titled "The real young master of the Cui family is wandering outside, how pitiful! How hateful!"
The press release was written by the Cui family and was highly biased. The copy was also discussed and released in advance, and consisted of only one sentence:
Qi Yan, welcome home.
Officially stamped, only true, not false.
As soon as the news came out, the whole Internet went crazy.
[Shocked! I'm so lucky to be able to see this explosive news in my lifetime!]
[My eyes are blinded by the dazzling lights! Everyone who appears today is a well-known and influential figure, my friends!]
[Make way, make way, here comes the encyclopedia~ Everyone knows Cui Shao, the youngest person in China to be listed on the Forbes rich list. He is the cousin of the real young master!
You know Cui Zhao, right? He’s Cui Shao’s father and the founder of one of the top 100 companies. He’s the real young master’s uncle!
You know Jiang Wan, a leading figure in domestic ballet, a national first-class dancer, a director of the Dancers Association, a member of the Performing Arts Committee, and the first Chinese principal of the xx Ballet Company, a top international ballet company. She is the real young master's aunt!
… (Five hundred words omitted here)
The most explosive thing was Mrs. An Ruchu, the former Minister of Justice, who had presided over the revision of a series of women's laws many times. Every woman present who was able to divorce freely should thank the old lady!
And she is the real young master's grandmother! 】
After reading the popular science, I was completely stunned. Even the old lady came out. The scene of the real young master's return home was too sensational. / Shocked to tears.
