Don't play me...
No, you're kidding me!
A fierce glint rose from the depths of his heart, and Yin Chen's gradually stiffening smile twisted again. His melodious and clear laughter slowly turned into the joyful, excited, and frenzied sounds of a demon devouring souls.
"What's wrong? Ah Xun, that look on your face... you don't want to... you don't want to be with me, right?"
Long Xun continued to look at him quietly with an indifferent gaze that revealed nothing about his thoughts.
"Okay, okay, it seems I've been deluding myself all along?" Yin Chen shrugged. If his smile hadn't become increasingly sinister, his relaxed demeanor would have been more convincing.
A ferocious, beast-like ruthlessness surged in his dark eyes, but Yin Chen did not unleash this ferocity. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly stood up.
His silver-gray hair flew wildly in the water as he moved.
"Since you're unwilling, then I won't say anything more." Yin Chen gave a strange laugh: "I really don't want to put you in a difficult position..."
With a gentle sway of its golden tail, it was about to swim towards the door.
Long Xun, who had been motionless for a long time, suddenly reached out and grasped his wrist.
The Dragon God's palm was warm and strong, and the touch almost made Yin Chen shed tears again, but he didn't.
The merman turned his face, raised his eyebrows, and his handsome face was filled with a devilish expression: "What? It's not that I can't let go. Don't worry, I said I wouldn't bother you, and I won't show up again..."
He was interrupted by a sigh from Long Xun before he could finish speaking.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yin Chen pursed his lips tightly, trying his best to maintain his smile. This was not only to give himself courage, but also to prevent his weakness from softening the dragon's heart.
It's not a matter of self-respect; Yin Chen simply doesn't want his feelings to become a burden to Long Xun. If Long Xun truly can't accept him, he can simply leave.
There is no need for pity based on momentary sympathy.
Long Xun gently pulled him to his side and looked closely at his face.
That handsome face now looks much more mature because of the fine, light wrinkles.
Long Xun had never seen him like this before. In his first life, he died young. In his second life, Long Xun didn't spend much time with him. In his third life, he became a zombie-like creature that would never grow up or age.
I never knew that a person's face could be beautiful even as it ages.
Perhaps it's simply because it's him.
After a long while, Long Xun withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Ah Chen, would you like to hear a story?"
"Um?"
"A long time ago..."
Long ago, he, Qi, and Mu lived together in the chaos. After Qi perished and was reborn into countless universes, he missed his companion and firmly believed that Qi was still alive and could return.
Later, when he found Bei Chengqi, he was confused and ignorant of worldly affairs. He thought he was still doing good for Qi, but Bei Chengqi, who had forgotten, was unwilling to accept this kindness. In the end, all he got in return was hatred.
Long Xun and Yin Chen sat shoulder to shoulder on the red jade coral bed. "Perhaps something happened afterward, and I entered the cycle of reincarnation, becoming a mortal... but also a mortal who is out of step with the world."
He grew from a child into an adult, walked all the paths that ordinary people should walk, and finally stayed at home.
Because he had no feelings, not even emotions, he was seen as a monster by others.
Then one day, he suddenly arrived in another world and met a strange person who could evoke a slight emotional response in him.
Although his initial feelings were only a faint sense of familiarity, along with a touch of annoyance and weariness, the novelty still led him to choose to get in touch with that person.
That person's name is Yin Chen.
...
First generation, second generation, third generation.
Generation after generation, they share the same name and similar appearance, yet possess distinct personalities.
“Ah Chen, I still can’t tell whether I see you as Qi, Bei Cheng Qi, or my friend, that superhuman, or the emperor, or the child I’ve raised.”
"Bei Chengqi told me not to lump you all together, but I still don't know if I've kept that in mind."
Long Xun turned his head and looked at Yin Chen, who was deep in thought, and continued, "I can't even be sure if I really have the feelings you want."
Those things are too complicated, too complicated, he doesn't understand.
Because we don't understand, we are cautious.
I didn't want to hurt him, so I avoided him.
Unwilling to force things, I endured it.
He didn't understand, didn't comprehend, and didn't know anything, but from the moment his memories returned, his feelings for the person in front of him gradually changed.
He is special.
Whether the world becomes vibrant and colorful or remains as chaotic as nothing, it's all the same to Long Xun.
Yet he alone was the only existence with color in Long Xun's pale world.
The recovery of memories brings back vivid feelings from the moments we spent together, which remain clearly etched in my mind.
He still remembers the feeling of "curiosity" he felt when Qi first touched him, and how the other person was startled.
He still remembered that when Qi lay on him and they traveled through the chaos together, Qi cheered and jumped for joy, and he also felt that the chaos was different.
He still remembers the feeling of bewilderment he felt when Qi disappeared, leaving behind only a tiny, newly formed universe filled with his presence.
He still remembered the first time he met Bei Chengqi. The handsome man had a serene expression and was gently smelling the flowers on the branches. He didn't want to break that picturesque feeling.
