Chapter 206 Extra 1: Chen Liyan x Lin Yunsi
Since childhood, Lin Yunsi has set two very firm goals for his life.
One is to make medicine well and become a very good alchemist, and the other is best to never get married.
This second point is even more firm than the previous one.
The main reason is that he really has psychological trauma.
Since he was a child, he had seen how messy his mother's backyard was. At most, there were about 20 to 30 wives and concubines, fighting and strife every day. As the child of the wife, Lin Yunsi was often caught up in such a struggle and was assassinated several times. He felt annoyed. Only when he was in the alchemy room could he feel quiet. No one who was not necessary was allowed to enter at will. It could be said that it was the pure land of the Lin family.
The main reason for this is that his mother is indeed romantic in love. She falls in love with everyone she meets and swears to each one of them. She also has a high status, and many people are willing to follow her. This situation like the one in Lin Shushu's yard is common in large families and is not an isolated case. Even if one marries fewer people or swears to be with one person for life, it is inevitable that they will become a couple of resentful lovers in the future.
Lin Yunsi had witnessed many cases and gradually became determined not to get married. In essence, he really didn't believe in love because it was too unstable.
He plans to live his whole life with elixirs.
Later, because of a momentary impulse when he was young, he went to see Lin Qinghen, which changed his fate, but it did not change his two most fundamental ideas. Even with the loving couple Yin Jiuxiao and Lin Qinghen around him, he remained unmoved.
In his opinion, Yin Jiuxiao and Lin Qinghen were extremely rare. Even though this couple loved each other and were so powerful, they could not escape the fluctuations of fate.
Especially during the time when Yin Jiuxiao got into trouble, he saw Lin Qinghen so distracted that he almost went with him. Even after he adjusted himself, he often sat there in a daze, not saying anything, as if nothing could make him happy.
Look, this is the pain of love.
It is enough to show that whoever falls in love will feel uncomfortable!
So Lin Yunsi immersed himself in his career for many years, and just as Lin Qinghen promised, he really became an alchemist whose name would go down in history step by step.
But Lin Yunsi never expected that just as he was getting closer and closer to his first goal, someone was deliberately trying to destroy his second goal.
After such a long time, the young boy who used to only know how to make medicine has gradually developed the ability to stand on his own. Especially since Yin Jiuxiao is not around, Beizhou has to seize the time to gain a firm foothold.
At this time, it had been several years since Li Yan sat on the seat of elders of the alliance. The two of them had successfully broken through to the Heavenly Rank, and were now taking advantage of the support of the alliance, the Shen family, and the North State Alchemist Association to jointly host this Spiritual Realm Alchemist Conference.
This was the first real alchemy conference of the entire spiritual world after Beizhou returned a few years ago. Chen Liyan was the chief organizer of this conference and took care of everything.
Lin Yunsi is Diemeng's chief alchemist, so he has to attend as a representative and handle many things.
On the day of the conference, countless alchemists gathered in Xizhou, and the conference was very lively. It attracted much attention and was very successful. Chen Liyan and Lin Yunsi were young and promising, and they were famous for their unique spiritual resonance in alchemy. They attracted more attention at the conference than some long-established alchemists.
Others said that the Shen family would soon decide on a candidate for the young master, and that candidate would be Shen Liyan.
In the beginning, it was Lin Qinghen who pushed him to the position of alliance elder. Now, he has finally stood firm with his own strength. It was not easy at all.
Lin Yunsi naturally also heard about the Shen family's plan to appoint a young master. On the evening of the closing day of the conference, he found someone at the lively banquet and asked about the matter.
"Is it true?"
Others might feel that Tang was being offensive if they asked this question, and even if they wanted to know, they would have to ask in a roundabout way. It's not that Lin Yunsi didn't understand the ways of the world, but there was no need for him and Shen Liyan to talk about this.
"It's true," Shen Liyan did not hesitate, and answered whatever he asked truthfully. Lin Yunsi felt that the look in his eyes when he looked at her was a little indescribably complicated, and a little nervous and excited, "Yunsi, come with me, I, I have something to tell you."
Lin Yunsi was forced to drink some aged wine at the banquet. The wine tasted sweet but had a strong aftereffect. After a while, he felt dizzy. He did not resist when Chen Liyan pulled him away, and kept saying congratulations. It was not until the other party arrived at a deserted place that Lin Yunsi, who was half drunk and half awake, realized that the other party's action of holding his hand was different from usual.
Hold it tightly.
Then Shen Liyan began to speak.
"Yun Si, I am finally worthy of you. I think, I think, we can settle down," he saw Shen Liyan's mouth opening and closing, "I don't want to wait any longer, I will go to my father and grandfather soon and ask them to open the Shen's ancestral hall. I will use the best and greatest etiquette, and then we..."
However, Lin Yunsi's brain was not working at this time, and he couldn't hear everything he said.
What has been decided?
Before Shen Liyan finished speaking, he heard some noise coming from downstairs, which attracted his attention.
The deserted place that Chen Liyan found was a windowsill on the second floor with a garden below. There was no one there just now, but now it seemed like two people had come and were apparently arguing.
He knew these two people, Song Xuemiao and Ding Lian. They were very noisy. Although they had achieved a happy ending, it was inevitable for the couple to quarrel after marriage, and they would quarrel once or twice a year.
Ding Lian has a bad temper, and Song Xuemiao has a lot of ideas. Occasionally when they are in a cold war, Song Xuemiao runs back to Diemeng, sometimes crying and sometimes slamming the table and scolding Ding Lian. Although the couple reconciled sweetly again after a few days, Lin Yunsi saw it and kept it in mind.
You see, the quarrel has started again.
He sighed inwardly, getting married was indeed one of the most troublesome things. He turned around and carefully conveyed this idea to his best subordinate and partner Shen Liyan, and also specifically mentioned his two goals.
"...I said, we can't get married. Oh, let's go," he said to Shen Liyan, "Liyan, look, there's really no benefit in being in a relationship. It's so annoying. It's best for the two of us to stay like this. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Shen Liyan: “…”
He suddenly fell into a very suspicious silence.
Lin Yunsi's headache was made worse by the quarrel of the young couple, and soon Shen Liyan took him to another place, which was a rest room. Finally, no one came.
Lin Yunsi was drunk and leaned into Shen Liyan's arms, his eyes half closed, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
He often leans his head against the other person. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but when practicing spiritual resonance, the two sides must be closer. Besides, it is common to feel exhausted after practicing, so leaning against the other person to rest is normal. With more physical contact, he naturally got used to it.
Besides, we are all good friends and we are just helping each other. What can’t we do?
But Chen Liyan still had questions to ask. Lin Yunsi listened to him asking her questions, her tone a little more urgent than before: "Yunsi, don't sleep yet, tell me, what do you think...what is the relationship between us two?"
He asked this question several times and insisted that he answer it. Lin Yunsi leaned against him and used the bed as a pillow, and had to answer the question even though she was extremely sleepy.
"Didn't you agree to be my subordinate? I am the chief of Diemeng. When you return to the Shen family, you will belong to Diemeng. I will naturally take care of you."
"What else?"
"And? We have spiritual resonance, so we are definitely the best partners."
"…What else?"
Lin Yunsi was so annoyed by him that he turned over and closed his eyes. Then Shen Liyan heard his vague answer.
"I recognize you as my lifelong friend. I am willing to risk my life for you. Is that ok? I am so sleepy. Let me sleep."
Then he fell asleep under the influence of alcohol, leaving Shen Liyan alone with a confused look on his face.
no……!
Aren’t he and Lin Yunsi in love with each other?
Chen Liyan met him in the City of Tears at that time, which was also a turning point in his destiny. After that, the two of them stayed together for a long time and were almost never separated. Later, they had a resonance of spiritual power, and naturally they were bound together more tightly.
Chen Liyan couldn't tell when exactly he fell in love with him. Maybe he was moved from the very beginning, or maybe it was when he cheated on him but couldn't get angry, or maybe it was because of Lin Yunsi's constant protection during their daily interactions... Anyway, he couldn't tell.
He came from Diemeng to the Shen family just to make himself worthy of him. He wanted to break the last layer of window paper while being able to give the other party a long-term future.
He thought that Lin Yunsi had the same idea as himself, but many things were not said out loud, and actions could prove everything.
Yun Si taught me how to make medicine step by step. I thought of him whenever I had something good. Later, he became worried and accompanied me back to the Shen family. They were even closer when they were practicing spiritual resonance. I don’t know how many times they slept in the same bed. That must be because he liked me.
In fact, Chen Liyan had wanted to say it a long time ago, but every time he was about to open his mouth, Lin Yunsi would talk to him seriously about refining medicine or the current situation. He naturally thought that Yunsi didn't want to talk about these things when the situation was uncertain, so he had been trying to keep his footing until now.
Then he discovered that Lin Yunsi seemed to be completely different from what he thought!
What friends? Where in the world are there such impure friends as these two?
Chen Liyan was anxious and angry, and wanted to catch the man and ask him clearly, but the drunkard was already asleep, and his baby face looked red. He had to grit his teeth and finally couldn't help it, so he bit the other person's cheek and kissed him on the lips.
But Lin Yunsi was so soundly asleep that he didn't feel anything at all. At most, he just felt a little itchy, so he moved and turned his head to the side.
Never mind.
Shen Liyan stared at him.
They can only be husband and wife, they can never be friends.
