Only after Shi Ran walked away did Qu Lingyuan turn around.
There were still traces of tears on his face and the tip of his nose was red.
"How did I offend her?" She lowered her head and spoke softly.
It seemed like he was muttering to himself, but also like he was asking Yu Jinjiang.
His lips were dry and Yu Jinjiang couldn't open his mouth for a moment. He moved closer and gently held her little hand.
Qu Lingyuan's hands felt very soft when held.
"For so many years, I've been quite obedient, haven't I? I haven't fought back, I haven't responded to insults. Does she still want me to die? Is it just because of my identity?" She slowly raised her head and looked at Yu Jinjiang, her eyes full of confusion. "But this is so unfair. I can't choose my parents. I was... born into a bandit's den, young lady."
After Shi Ran left, Yu Jinjiang's eyes looked at Qu Lingyuan, which no longer felt cold but were filled with tenderness.
He was thinking clearly, and said calmly: "Because she likes me."
Perhaps due to her injury, Qu Lingyuan spoke slowly: "But...what does this have to do with me?"
He looks innocent and naive.
Yu Jinjiang sighed: "She probably thinks that if you are alive, she might not be able to compete with you..."
Women's jealousy and greed are always so terrible.
Qu Lingyuan leaned back, as if thinking about what he said.
"I'm not competing with her..." she murmured, her tone vague.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jinjiang squeezed her soft little hand and said directly, "Ling Yuan, don't you like me?"
Slightly startled, Qu Lingyuan shook her head.
Yu Jinjiang thought she wanted to say she didn't like it, but she replied indifferently, "I don't know."
After carefully considering the original owner's background, Qu Lingyuan spoke slowly, a touch of sadness in her voice: "I can't tell the difference, Brother Yu. You're the only one in this world. How can I distinguish between family affection... and love?"
You are the only one in the world——
Yu Jinjiang opened his mouth.
He didn't know how to describe his current mood.
It's sour, bitter, sweet, mixed with heartache, a mixture of all five emotions.
"Sister Shi is different. She has had brothers and sisters, and parents. It's easy to tell that her feelings for you are different from those of her father and brothers, but I... I don't know."
Qu Lingyuan's eyes were full of confusion.
She is indeed very confused now.
In this situation, she clearly didn't need to act anymore. She followed Yu Jinjiang's words and confessed her feelings, and the two of them got together smoothly.
Shi Ran may not die, but his ending will not be much better.
Given the male protagonist's protective and paranoid personality, it is absolutely impossible for her to continue staying in Huashan.
But why?
Qu Lingyuan still felt unwilling.
At least she didn't want Shi Ran to disappear from her sight until she got evidence of the former leader and Gu Chi's death.
She also wanted to wait for an opportunity to give Shi Ran a final blow.
Shi Ran's current retribution is only enough to offset the bad things she did to Qu Lingyuan, and is not enough to atone for what happened to the former leader and Gu Chi.
Qu Lingyuan thought that if Shi Ran was not made more miserable, the original heroine and the father who loved his daughter so much...wouldn't their deaths be in vain.
Yu Jinjiang smiled helplessly: "Take your time."
He was basically clear about his feelings, and now he had plenty of time to wait for this little fool to figure out what love was.
Qu Lingyuan's eyes softened as she thought for a moment, "Let's let Shi Ran go this time."
It was the first time she called Shi Ran's full name, and there was a chill in her tone.
"Why?" Yu Jinjiang frowned.
She almost died because of Shi Ran, why did she still want to let Shi Ran go?
"It can be considered as offsetting the trust entrusted by the former leader."
Qu Lingyuan thought carefully.
Because his master had given him instructions before his death, Yu Jinjiang must have been hesitant and struggling when he attacked Shi Ran, which was not good for his psychology.
If you let Shi Ran go this time, next time... you can be ruthless and show no mercy.
The golden medal of immunity from death can only be used once, right?
Yu Jinjiang sighed again: "You are still too kind."
Qu Lingyuan smiled.
Is she kind? At least towards Shi Ran, she was quite vicious, not hesitating to use herself to severely hurt the other party.
Maybe quite kind.
She placed revenge for the original heroine and conquering the hero on the same level.
Obviously the original heroine has nothing to do with her...
She is neither cold nor warm.
She just thought Shi Ran was disgusting.
but......
Qu Lingyuan looked at Yu Jinjiang's face, favored by God, and thought...
If she were in the supporting actress's position, what would she do?
It seems really painful when the person you love loves someone else.
Yu Jinjiang also stared at her, and the two of them looked at each other.
Qu Lingyuan's smile became even brighter.
It doesn’t matter, I’m the heroine now!
*
Qu Lingyuan was injured, so Yu Jinjiang had to carry her back to her residence.
Afraid that a slight bump would hurt her wound, Yu Jinjiang slowed down.
If it weren't for the serious situation of a man and a woman being present, he wouldn't have wanted to leave Qu Lingyuan's residence late at night, for fear that she would get hurt and it would be inconvenient and unsafe for her to be alone.
I wanted to find another female disciple to look after her, but she refused to agree.
I can't resist, so I have to give up.
So he hurried over early the next morning.
Qu Lingyuan hasn't woken up yet.
The wound was so painful that she endured it for most of the night before she was so sleepy that she fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Jinjiang brought a small stool and sat obediently beside the bed. He sat there for the whole morning. He even almost counted all the fine hairs on Qu Lingyuan's face.
It was not until noon that Qu Lingyuan slowly opened her eyes.
