19 Change your backer
◎Brother Qin Zhen, I'm scared.◎
Late that night, at the Liang family's house.
After washing up, Liang Youwei changed into pajamas, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Liang Jiangsheng's eyes full of disgust, her second sister's tolerance for her for more than twenty years, the sudden change in her status... all these things weighed on her heart, and Liang Youwei was afraid and guilty.
After confirming that her third sister didn't dislike her, Liang Youwei rarely worried about it anymore. She used to think that with the "recognition" and "forgiveness" of Liang Jingyi, the biggest victim, she was a member of the Liang family. But today's slap brought her back to reality.
What should I do? What should I do tomorrow? What should I do in the future?
Second sister couldn't protect her forever, so there was no reason for her to bear the burden for the rest of her life; eldest brother's feelings were something she couldn't digest; third sister, third sister couldn't even control her own future, so how could she care about her...
While my thoughts were wandering, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Liang Youwei came back to her senses and quickly wiped the tears from her face. She thought it was her sisters, so she went to the bathroom to wash away the tears before hurriedly opening the bedroom door.
But when she saw the person coming, Liang Youwei was stunned.
Not them.
She was surprised, her eyes widened: "Why is it you?"
Qin Zhen?
Why is Qin Zhen here? The Qin family clearly didn't receive an invitation, Qin Zhen doesn't have any personal connections with the Shan family, and he doesn't have any business trips...
Hearing the obvious nasal sound, the man frowned: "Did you feel wronged today?" The tears in the corners of his eyes were not washed away, and he started crying again.
Liang Youwei turned her head away from Qin Zhen. She couldn't help but sniffle: "I haven't suffered any injustice. Why did you come here suddenly? Didn't you say you were busy with work recently? And it's so late, how did you get here?"
"I bought a plane ticket right after I heard the news. I'm lucky today because there's a direct flight to Shanghai."
Qin Zhen played it off, took out a soft handkerchief, and wiped her tears gently and carefully from a distance.
Liang Youwei lowered her head, suppressing the inexplicable grievance that welled up in her heart. Seeing his empty hands, she quickly spoke to divert his attention: "Is that so? Why don't you bring a suitcase?"
Qin Zhen paused, still calm: "I just came to see you. If you are okay, I can leave tomorrow. Cry if you want to. I won't tell anyone."
As these words fell, the tears that had been suppressed suddenly came back. Liang Youwei pursed her lips tightly, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Her summer pajamas were just a long suspender dress, and she looked unnaturally thin.
The girl wanted to deny it, saying that she was fine and didn't want to cry, but the tears that surged in her heart wouldn't lie, and they took control of her body and mind: "Thank you, Brother Qin Zhen, I..."
It seems like it's time.
Qin Zhen lowered his eyes and stared at her exposed smooth shoulders, thinking.
At this time, she is very fragile, powerless, and prone to overthinking. She needs a completely peaceful existence and someone who is destined to love her unconditionally.
Qin Zhen saw clearly that Liang Youwei's reliance on her siblings and mother was largely due to "blood ties." Now that the blood ties were gone, she would no longer absolutely trust the Liang siblings and He Jingshu.
Liang Youwei does believe that true love exists between people, but what she wants is not just simple love. What she wants is absolute preference, absolute uniqueness.
This only source is very monotonous: family, friendship, and love.
Eleven years ago, Liang Youwei's biological parents passed away. Family affection is almost non-existent, and friendships are mediocre. She relies 100% on love.
With an idea in mind, Qin Zhen didn't say the usual "It's okay" but took a silent step forward. His slender white knuckles pressed against the girl's cheek, his amber pupils staring into hers, his voice a little hoarse from staying up late:
"The Liang family won't abandon you, but they won't cover for you either. Liang Youwei, do you want to find someone else to rely on?"
Liang Youwei was stunned.
The action of subconsciously trying to escape from this touch also stopped.
Seeing this, Qin Zhen became more confident.
"Liang Ting'an has been monitoring your bills. Uncle Liang has never liked your temper, and Mr. Liang's power is ultimately limited." A cold voice fell into Liang Youwei's ears, striking her periosteum. "Liang Youwei, if nothing unexpected happens, your true identity will be fully revealed by next year at the latest."
The more he listened, the more his crow-wing eyelashes trembled, like the cautiously fluttering wings of a butterfly.
Liang Youwei knew that Qin Zhen was telling the truth. She was a useless person to the Liang family, her eldest brother's thoughts were unfathomable, and those indescribable feelings were inhumane. Her "father"'s disgust was obvious, and she saw her sister's difficulties... The girl closed her eyes tightly.
After a struggle between her inner self and her inner self, Liang Youwei took the initiative to move closer to the man in front of her for the first time in her life. Her movements were slow and stiff, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Brother Qin Zhen, I'm scared."
Her words and actions were clearly flattering and fake, without any concealment. But if she did, she wouldn't be Liang Youwei.
The corners of Qin Zhen's mouth rose in the corner of the shadow. He silently tightened his hands and pulled her into his arms. His tall figure completely covered the girl.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Sincerity is good, and insincerity doesn't matter. Liang Youwei is enough for him.
Entering his arms, Liang Youwei felt that she was surrounded by Qin Zhen's scent, which was lightly wrapped but impenetrable.
The smell is hard to describe, as it doesn't have a specific reference point. Most of the time, it's a hazy feeling, like the smell of frost on a freezing morning or the scent of pine needles after a snowfall.
"Today wasn't formal enough." After a quiet hug, Qin Zhen spoke again. Beneath the calm surface of the lake lay a thick layer of emotion, but he forced himself to suppress it all. "In the future, our engagement and wedding will definitely not be as hasty as they are now."
"...You like me?" He was too serious, and Liang Youwei finally realized it belatedly. She looked up blankly and asked, "But you, you are not sexual..."
Qin Zhen never denied this to her.
"It's true for others, but not for you." Almost unconsciously, Qin Zhen increased his strength and hugged her tighter, his cool fingers touching her delicate back. "Liang Youwei, I like you, and I only like you."
All sex and desire come from you.
The clear promise slowly reached Liang Youwei's ears, and her heart began to beat like a drum. She had never known that her heartbeat could become so fast.
Her back was burning, and so was her heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Zhen finally let her go. His fingertips, which had been holding a pen for years, touched her jaw and asked her in a low, hoarse voice, "Can I kiss you?"
My heart was lifted up again.
Liang Youwei unconsciously pursed her pale pink lips, her heart in turmoil. Shyness, nervousness, confusion, ignorance, and discomfort all came over her one after another, leaving her at a loss.
Was it too soon? They'd just confirmed their relationship, and they were already kissing? Although she was willing, if the kiss was too casual, would Qin Zhen think she was being casual and frivolous? Being open and honest was important, but this wasn't the right way to be open and honest...
Qin Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at her, waiting patiently for her answer.
Liang Youwei was confused and didn't dare to look at him. After a long time, she nodded very softly.
Kiss. It seems that it is not a big problem.
Almost the moment she nodded, Qin Zhen cupped her cheek, closed his eyes, and kissed her devoutly and earnestly. He was much taller than her, so when kissing, Qin Zhen had to bend down so that Liang Youwei wouldn't have to tilt her head too high.
It's a bit tiring, but I enjoy it.
This was the first time Liang Youwei had this experience, and her shoulders shrugged involuntarily. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of the clothes of the person in front of her, closed her eyes, and her pink eyelids trembled.
Qin Zhen only kissed subtly at the beginning.
He gently touched her lips, rubbing them slowly, touching them slowly, full of tentativeness. After realizing that Liang Youwei was not opposed but just nervous, he gradually went deeper and invaded gently.
When the tip of her tongue touched his, Liang Youwei's body stiffened.
She couldn't help but panic and retreated slightly, but the man in front of her became extremely strong and his previous composure towards her disappeared - at some point, Qin Zhen's large palm had moved down, firmly grasping her lower back, leaving her in a dilemma.
The air between her nose and lips was gradually plundered, and tears filled her eyes. Liang Youwei let out a faint hum. The man opposite her keenly caught this sound, and the next second, his invasion intensified.
Qin Zhen took her one step forward and trapped her between the wall and himself.
Liang Youwei's heart trembled. Although she felt inexplicably excited and happy, the panic of being controlled was too strong, making her subconsciously want to push the other person away. Her voice was unclear: "No...Qin Zhen, no..."
"Don't push me away, okay?" Qin Zhen almost used up all his restraint before he was willing to straighten his back a little and lock his eyes with her.
Liang Youwei hadn't regained her heartbeat yet. She sobbed and hit him weakly with her hands: "What are you doing? Why are you so rude..."
Once I get a little angry, I don’t bother to act nice.
Liang Youwei's legs were limp from the kiss, and now it was only thanks to Qin Zhen holding her waist that she didn't fall to the ground. With this personal experience, she didn't want to answer Qin Zhen's question even more. If she didn't push him away, wouldn't she be finished? She could just pretend she didn't hear it.
"I'm sorry," Qin Zhen took a deep breath and hugged her again. He slowly stroked her long hair and comforted her softly, "It's my fault. I couldn't help it."
The more Liang Youwei couldn't stand up straight, the more aggrieved she felt. She even started crying when she spoke: "Qin Zhen, you just bullied me. This was my first kiss."
She accused him weakly.
"...It's mine too." Qin Zhen felt hot and uncomfortable when he heard that. He kissed her hair helplessly, as lightly as a feather. "I didn't mean to bully you."
Liang Youwei sniffed and unconsciously picked at the cuffs of the people around her. After a long while, she asked, "Qin Zhen, then... then when are you leaving tomorrow?"
Tonight's schedule was not originally planned. If he had an early flight tomorrow, she would not get up to see him off - Liang Youwei could get up early, but she didn't want to.
She knew that Qin Zhen cared about her the most.
"No." The man was still holding her, not wanting to let go at all, but his voice was flat and his answer was unexpected. "I'll just work online these few days. I'll be back whenever you return to the capital."
Liang Youwei's ears turned red again. She struggled awkwardly and changed the subject in a low, stiff voice: "Um... By the way, it's too late now. You should go back quickly. And... I'm a little hot."
So, please let go of me quickly and stop holding me.
Qin Zhen paused his fingers: "Don't you like being hugged?"
Liang Youwei moved her shoulders slightly, feeling awkward. "It's not that I don't like it. You know, I used to... rarely get hugged by men other than Big Brother. I just wasn't used to it."
"From now on, only let me hold you, okay?" Qin Zhen lowered his head, looked at her calmly, and gently said, "I'm your boyfriend. I'm more important than any other man, right?"
Liang Youwei avoided his gaze and said timidly, "But big brother is important too."
Recently she has been avoiding Liang Tingan, but Liang Tingan is her elder brother, who has been good to her for twenty-one years. This will never change. People should know how to be grateful.
Is the eldest brother also important?
Qin Zhen sneered silently, his eyes suddenly turning cold, but when Liang Youwei raised her eyes, he instantly regained his previous indifference: "Well, big brother is also important. From now on, we are all family."
Liang Youwei felt relieved and whispered, "I thought you didn't like my brother."
"How could that be? He's your brother. I'll treat your family well." Qin Zhen remained calm. "So before I leave, can I kiss you again?"
Thinking of the mild suffocation she had felt not long ago, Liang Youwei felt both excited and afraid. However, she felt that this anticipation was too unrestrained, so she simply whispered to him, "But you've already kissed me, and you kissed me for so long that I couldn't breathe."
If it was just this sentence, Qin Zhen wouldn't think it was a big deal, but Liang Youwei was unhappy and she would always be unhappy. Even if she was pretending, she would be consistent: "If you kiss me like this again, I will never kiss you again, and you can't even hug me."
"Hmm?" Qin Zhen frowned and looked at Liang Youwei, and a sense of oppression immediately enveloped her.
Feeling a little scared, she avoided his gaze again, speaking in a weak tone but arrogantly: "Don't look at me like that. I don't like it."
Qin Zhen said nothing, but leaned over and quickly kissed the corner of her lips. When she covered her mouth in surprise, he remained aloof and said, "Well, I'll do as you say."
Liang Youwei glared at him deliberately.
Qin Zhen looked at her calmly.
In the end, Liang Youwei snorted, stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear: "I just lied to you."
Qin Zhen silently returned the hug, breathing in her hair, the beautiful amber filled with infinite darkness: "Well, thank you."
【Author’s words】
Youwei's criteria for liking someone are really "standard": good-looking, rich, kind to her, and capable. Qin Zhen, or rather the six people in the group, each one of them hits her point.
