Chapter 135 Xiao Shengzi, will you tell me?
Chu Yian's voice was calm but with a hint of grievance. As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Sheng carefully.
If it were any other time, she would never speak in this tone, but Qin Sheng at this moment really made her feel uneasy.
Qin Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Yian. She obviously didn't say anything touching, but for some reason, Qin Sheng felt a little sore in his eyes.
When did he behave so badly? So bad that even Chu Yian could see that he was forcing a smile.
Maybe he never thought of pretending in front of her, so he made so many mistakes that she could notice them.
Qin Sheng lowered his eyelashes and could no longer smile. He actually had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to start.
Some things are better left to one's own devices. If a grown man actually says those words, it would be too pretentious and not in line with his character.
What happened has happened, and life must go on, right?
Why should he drag Chu Yian to suffer with him?
Qin Sheng pulled the corner of his mouth and didn't look into Chu Yian's eyes again: "It's nothing, what can happen to me? Don't worry."
"Let's go back to the house. We still have a lot of things to do. We don't know how long we will be busy tonight."
As he said that, Qin Sheng turned around and walked into the house, not letting Chu Yian see his lonely look.
Chu Yian looked at his back, and his heart grew heavier little by little.
She didn't have the ability to read people's expressions like Qin Sheng, but she could still detect some emotional changes of people close to her.
He seemed to have... locked himself in a dark little house, cut off from all prying eyes.
Qin Sheng is a very smart man. Maybe one day in the future he will be able to figure it out and get out of that small house. He himself said that he should be given some time.
But seeing him like this, Chu Yian felt a little uncomfortable.
Following Qin Sheng into the room, she closed the door behind her.
Qin Sheng had already walked to the desk and sat down, spread out the paper and ground the ink, looked at Chu Yian, and urged her to hurry up with his eyes.
Chu Yian walked slowly to the table and sat down. His mind was full of Qin Sheng and he couldn't remember how to write the storybook at all.
After a moment's thought, she looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Um, Qin Sheng, when will you lead the troops to the battle?"
Qin Sheng raised his head, and he had returned to his usual appearance: "Ten days later."
Chu Yian was surprised: "So fast?"
Qin Sheng nodded. "The Xiongnu have been harassing our border for a long time, so we have to hurry. If it weren't for the long time it takes to recruit our troops, we could probably set off in less than ten days."
Chu Yian curled his lips, feeling unhappy: "When can you come back?"
Qin Sheng shook his head: "It's hard to say. If it's fast, he might be back in half a year. If it's slow..."
It may take three to five years, or even longer.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
Chu Yian was completely depressed: "I, I will write to you. Remember to write back to me when you are free. If you don't have time... If you don't have time, you can reply later. I'll wait for you."
Qin Sheng was slightly stunned. He thought she wanted to say something, but she actually said this.
Looking at Chu Yian's melancholy eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle, and his eyes softened.
"What are you thinking about? Even if the war situation is getting worse, it's not like we don't have time to reply to a letter."
"But if I go to the border, I might not be able to see your book."
"When you write to me, remember to bring me a notebook. If possible, write more, so that I can see the latest content before everyone else."
Speaking of the storybook, Chu Yian's eyes lit up, and then he stood up straight, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely work harder and make sure you don't see it later than others."
"After all, we are best partners. I can't treat you unfairly even if I treat anyone else unfairly."
Qin Sheng chuckled, and was so taken aback by Chu Yian's words that he temporarily had no mind to think about anything else.
Chu Yian didn’t actually say anything, but she seemed to have some kind of magic that could make people relax involuntarily.
Chu Yian rolled his eyes and took advantage of Qin Sheng's inattention to quickly ask: "Um, Xiao Shengzi, are you thinking about something you shouldn't be thinking about behind my back?"
Qin Sheng: ...
Xiao, Xiao Shengzi?
Qin Sheng looked at Chu Yian in astonishment, automatically ignoring the second half of her sentence. He opened his mouth with an expression that was hard to describe: "I'm not a eunuch."
Chu Yian glared: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a way for us to express intimacy in our world. I didn't say you are a eunuch."
Qin Sheng's expression was even more indescribable: "Quite special, then...Xiao Anzi?"
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian couldn't help laughing. Qin Sheng's indescribable expression and his suspicious tone made her unable to hold back her laughter, and she almost laughed to tears.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "I always feel like you are deceiving me."
Chu Yian quickly stopped laughing and shook his head vigorously: "No, no, I swear."
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows: "I'll trust you for once, Xiao Anzi."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian chuckled, his eyes shining: "Xiao Shengzi, can you tell me what you are thinking?"
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng sighed, looking at Chu Yian with a helpless look in his eyes: "Others try to find out in a roundabout way, but you ask directly. You ask so bluntly, how can I open my mouth and say it?"
Chu Yian quickly shook his head: "It's boring to beat around the bush between you and me. It's much better to be straightforward. Haven't we always been straightforward?"
Qin Sheng sighed, put down his pen, supported his chin and looked out the window without looking at Chu Yian.
"I don't want to say."
Chu Yian slapped Qin Sheng on the shoulder, scaring him.
Her eyes were as bright as a ten-thousand-watt light bulb, and she said earnestly, "Xiao Shengzi, let me ask you, are you worried that I won't remember you after you're gone?"
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng shook his head: "No, don't guess blindly."
Chu Yian: "Are you worried that your good brothers will make things difficult for me after you leave?"
Qin Sheng: ...Can you please stop asking? Really, it's so suffocating.
He really didn't want to discuss the problems of that group of men with Chu Yian, as it made him feel a little ashamed.
As soon as Chu Yian saw Qin Sheng's expression, he knew that he didn't want to say it. How could that be possible?
Without waiting for Qin Sheng to say anything, she hurriedly said: "It seems not. What did you say to them just now? I guess you must have asked them to take care of me."
"With your superb dog training skills, it shouldn't be difficult to make them temporarily behave themselves and pay obediently. I trust you."
Qin Sheng closed his eyes in pain: "Please stop talking."
Chu Yian shook his head: "You refuse to tell me, so I can only guess it myself? I told you that I can't guess it, but you still ask me to guess. You are really unreasonable."
Qin Sheng: ...
I didn't make you guess!
Chu Yian opened his mouth and wanted to continue to express his guess, but Qin Sheng couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to cover Chu Yian's irritating mouth.
In front of him, Chu Yian has always been a very cute, well-behaved, somewhat lively and lustful girl, and she rarely shows her irritating side.
Qin Sheng had experienced the mood of his father-in-law when Chu Yian was angry with Chu Xiuyuan.
All kidding aside, his mood was no better than that of his father-in-law.
Qin Sheng almost gritted his teeth and said, "Please stop guessing."
Chu Yian pulled his hand away, his eyes shining: "So you want to tell me?"
Qin Sheng stared at her for a long while, then reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Some things I can worry about alone, why should you worry about them with me?"
"I just need some time. I'll figure it out on my own soon. There's no need for you to worry about me."
"You won't be happy then."
Chu Yian disagreed with this: "What are you talking about? I'm in such a good mood right now. I can't calm down at all. I don't even have the energy to write in my storybook. I just want to bother you so much that I can calm down. Tell me now! Otherwise, I'll keep guessing."
Qin Sheng: ...
PS: Recently everyone has been guessing about the male lead, and they are afraid that I will kill Xiao Shengzi.
No, Xiao Shengzi is my true love. He won't die suddenly without a reason, and I won't write him to death just to make room for someone else.
Let the male protagonist's problems take their own course. I'm a newbie and don't have enough control over the plot, so I really can't say for sure now. I'll just write whatever comes to mind. He doesn't necessarily have to be the big brother. We'll see how the situation develops.
But I will try my best to give everyone a good and reasonable ending. Let's just let nature take its course... as naturally as possible.
