Chapter 357 Extra 9 Do you... like me?
Qin Sheng pulled the corner of his mouth with a forced smile: "Thank you, uncle, I will."
He turned around and left, and appeared downstairs of the community early the next morning.
Chu Yian changed his clothes and got into Qin Sheng's car.
The community where he lives is not actually very high-end, but it has good security and good privacy.
There is a farmers' market not far away, which makes it very convenient to buy vegetables.
Qin Sheng parked the car and took Chu Yian to buy some vegetables. He was familiar with many of the vegetable sellers. Everyone looked at him and then at Chu Yian, and couldn't help teasing him.
"Hey, Qin Sheng, is this your girlfriend? She's pretty and tall."
"Of course he is. I've never seen any girls around him."
Chu Yian was overjoyed by the praise and was about to clarify when Qin Sheng spoke first and said with a smile, "Not yet."
Chu Yian:?
The aunts joked with them for a few words and let them go buy other things.
After buying the vegetables, the two returned to the community together.
Chu Yian was a little absent-minded.
Qin Sheng slowed down his pace and looked at her sideways. His eyes looked unusually gentle under the rising sun, with a faint and intoxicating light in them: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yian hurriedly shook his head: "No, nothing."
A smile flashed in Qin Sheng's eyes, without further explanation.
They soon arrived at the door of their home. When they opened it and went in, Chu Yian was stunned.
According to her understanding of Qin Sheng, his home should be decorated in either a retro style, or a cold and hard style with a touch of warmth, or something else entirely.
It shouldn't be like this... a little cuteness mixed with warmth, right?
This doesn't fit him at all.
Qin Sheng put down the food in his hand and brought her a pair of slippers.
The slippers are cute too and are exactly her size.
Chu Yian stepped into the house and looked around curiously.
I walked into the bathroom and saw the same cup already prepared.
When she opened the bedroom door, she saw the quilt was neatly folded and the closet was filled with many clothes that suited her.
Chu Yian closed the door and went out to help in the kitchen.
Qin Sheng pushed her out: "You go sit down, I'll do it, it will be quick."
He was really quick and finished three dishes and a soup in about half an hour.
Although Chu Yian's health has improved a lot, it is better for him to eat less oily and spicy foods for the time being.
There are some chili peppers in the dish, but not too much, just enough to taste slightly after adjusting the seasoning.
Picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, Chu Yian's eyes suddenly lit up and he gave a thumbs up: "Xiao Shengzi, you are good. Your cooking skills are better than my dad's."
Qin Sheng's eyes curved: "I learned it specially, so I can make it for you every day in the future."
Chu Yian froze for a moment, remembering the word 'not yet' he said when they were buying groceries. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a rare sense of discomfort. He muttered softly: "Xiao Shengzi, there's something wrong with you today."
Qin Sheng blinked: "Is there?"
Chu Yian hurriedly shook his head again: "No, no."
The smile in Qin Sheng's eyes deepened. After finishing the meal, he didn't let Chu Yian do anything and quickly packed up everything.
The young man from a noble family, who had never done these things before, was now very adept at them and very used to them, without any discomfort at all.
Chu Yian was amazed: "You have integrated into this world very quickly. You have never done these things before."
Qin Sheng sat down next to her naturally: "We had servants before, so it wasn't our turn to do these things. Now I live alone and don't have a nanny."
"Plus, cleaning by yourself can relax you. As they say here, it's stress-relieving."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian's pupils trembled: "Doing housework to relieve stress?"
Qin Sheng raised the corner of his lips: "Yeah."
Chu Yian couldn't understand, tried to understand, but failed.
She looked at Qin Sheng with a puzzled look and sighed: "You suffered a lot in the past."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chu Yian was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
"No, nothing." Qin Sheng slowly stopped laughing and looked down at her: "I quite like doing these things. I like taking care of people."
There seemed to be a layer of fine light in his eyes. If you stare at it carefully, you would slowly be immersed in it.
Chu Yian's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered what he said when he was buying vegetables. He had endured it for so long, and it felt like a kitten was scratching his heart.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask the question I had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Um, Qin Sheng, do you... like me?"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Chu Yian felt his heart beating faster.
In the past, Qin Sheng always hung around her as a friend, but since he called her sister last time, his behavior became a little obvious.
Especially when he said that time, treat him as a man.
Chu Yian thought about it for several days, and based on his behavior, he gradually figured out what was going on.
Especially when they were buying groceries just now, didn't he mean to say that he wanted to be her boyfriend?
And her daily necessities have been prepared in this house...
Chu Yian is very slow in emotions, but she is not completely stupid in this regard. Qin Sheng's performance is so obvious, he almost said it out loud, how could she not feel it?
Qin Sheng's breathing stopped, his heartbeat quickened noticeably, and his hands clenched tighter and tighter.
Chu Yian often asks directly about things he doesn't understand, but he didn't expect that this question could be asked so directly, which really surprised him.
His Adam's apple rolled, his heartbeat quickened, and even his breathing became lighter. He hummed softly, "I like it."
After a pause, he said more bluntly: "The love between a man and a woman is not friendship."
The air froze a little.
Chu Yian opened his mouth, a little surprised, but not that surprised, and asked dryly: "When did it happen?"
Qin Sheng looked at her, thinking of his past life, and his nose felt a little sour: "It's been many years. Not long after you married me, I fell in love with you without realizing it."
Chu Yian was indeed shocked this time.
Thinking carefully back to the years I spent with him in ancient times, many things were actually not without trace.
But she didn't think about it that way at that time. Now when she thinks about it, although he never said that he liked her, his every move told her that he liked her.
Otherwise, why would a great general like him be so bored as to help her build snowmen, plant peach trees for her, and even play around with her?
There are many things that can be done by servants just by giving orders, so why do it yourself?
Chu Yian's voice was a little dry: "Why...why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Why not tell her?
Qin Sheng's nose felt sore, and he lowered his eyelashes. His voice was extremely bitter: "I dare not."
"I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll completely alienate me."
"If I hadn't gotten involved with them, I would have told you openly that I would be an ordinary couple with you and live happily ever after."
"But I...I'm not clean...I'm sorry..."
His voice became more trembling, and his eyes were obviously red after he finished speaking.
Chu Yian didn't know what kind of mood Qin Sheng was in when he said this.
But when had she ever seen Qin Sheng like this?
In her impression, although Qin Sheng would sometimes be depressed, he was strong and patient most of the time.
He would occasionally show his vulnerable side in front of her, but he had never said something so self-deprecating as to say that he was unclean.
Chu Yian's nose also began to feel sour. Qin Sheng should have been the most carefree and unrestrained young man, but at an age when he should be happy, he lived so depressed and had such low self-esteem.
I have already come to a new world and changed into a new body, but I still can't let go of the past.
A tear rolled down from his eye socket. Chu Yian stretched out his hand to turn his face and smiled: "Nonsense, my little Shengzi is the best."
Hearing her words, Qin Sheng's eyes became even redder.
He didn't want to cry, and he didn't want to give Chu Yian the impression that he was a crybaby recently.
But I can't help but feel sore eyes.
Qin Sheng held her in his arms, his voice trembling, tears falling more fiercely: "Yi An, I didn't provoke anyone this time. I kept my distance from everyone."
"I'm not as dirty as I was in my previous life. I'm not dirty this time. I've been waiting for you, waiting for you cleanly..."
