As they talked, the conversation drifted to the point that if Qi Qi stayed by his side, he would eventually be used by others to deal with the Ninth Prince, and it was too dangerous for him to stay with him any longer.
How could Qi Qi stand by and watch him smear the Ninth Prince? It's true that he and the Fifth Prince are good friends, but the Ninth Prince is Qi Qi's number one friend in this world.
Then, Qi Qi got angry and said, "You also took advantage of me. Do you think I don't know about your act of playing the victim eight years ago? You can criticize other people, why are you talking about the Ninth Prince?"
"And that time when the Fourth Prince and his study companion beat you up, didn't you also guide me to report it to the Ninth Prince? The Ninth Prince pretended to be passing by and helped you out."
"And that time you were publicly humiliated by the eunuch, and three months later he fell into the pond and drowned. I went to find you and almost died of fright when I passed by there. There was your purse by the rock. I took it and gave it to you, and you said it was an accident. I didn't call you out on it."
"As for your establishment of your residence, the Empress also contributed to it, but she didn't mention it for fear that the Fourth Prince would target you in court."
"besides……"
"Actually, the Ninth Prince is very good to you, Fifth Prince. Why are you talking about him behind his back?"
Qi Qi rambled on and on, but seeing that the drunkard next to him had been silent for a long time, he realized that he might have gone too far by reopening old wounds.
...Qi Qi, whose mind always raced faster than his mouth and who always spoke freely in front of his friends, suddenly and in that instant, he inexplicably grasped a certain human emotion.
Even though he hadn't experienced it himself, just think about it: exposing someone's true feelings in front of a sensitive person...
Qi Qi covered his face with his hands: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
"I didn't mean to say you were bad, I didn't mean that, I,"
A hoarse voice came from the side, each word spoken with a sense of bewilderment.
"You know everything."
"So you knew all along."
Qi Qi then noticed that the person next to him seemed to be trembling all over. He reached out in the dark and touched the Fifth Prince. Sure enough, the Fifth Prince was trembling, and he felt even more guilty.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, A-Yi. I didn't mean to say anything bad about you. You know, in this kind of environment, no one can decide how to live. I didn't mean anything by it, I..."
"So you knew all along."
"You actually knew that."
The Fifth Prince's voice was no longer tinged with alcohol. He flung Qi Qi's hand away, jumped off the bed, opened the door, and ran away. On the way, Qi Qi heard him slam his head against the door. It was a loud thud. The dim light at the doorway flickered on briefly before being blocked by the slamming door.
Qi Qi covered his head and cried out silently in the blankets.
【Oh no! I'm so awful! I knew he was petty—no, not petty, just sensitive—and I still said those things about him. I really went too far!】
None of them are there.
Qi Qi was very worried.
Humans, being creatures that are both complex and changeable, are probably a subject that Qi Qi will never be able to decipher in his lifetime. Qi Qi truly regrets saying such a thing.
Perhaps we should address this topic in a different way. It's not good to rush things and compare one person's sorrows to another's good points.
There should have been other, better ways.
Qi Qi sniffed: [Tongtong, I really have become human.]
Huangfu Yi is a very good person. Apart from these unavoidable things, he is just like the Ninth Prince, and Qi Qi can feel that he treats him very well.
They are all living, breathing people.
Just as he was about to get up and sneak outside, the door was suddenly opened again, in an almost violent manner.
Qi Qi was grabbed by the face and forcibly kissed by Huangfu Yi who rushed in.
"Why……"
Qi Qi's face hurt, and his mouth hurt too, but he felt a cool liquid touch his face.
Oh no, Huangfu Yi really did cry, he's trembling so badly.
Qi Qi hesitated and pushed it.
This person became even more excited.
Qi Qi felt like his waist was about to break, but he managed to raise his hand to touch his hair and utter a few words.
"I... damn... you... are... a... dog...!"
Do humans all have a habit of kissing passionately when they get excited?
"Don't cry, don't cry, I know I was wrong, you're a good person,"
Huangfu Yi released him and sneered in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine? You still say I'm fine now?"
"Very good, very good, very good!"
"You're wrong. You're right about everything. I am that kind of person, and that's not all. There are even worse things I've done."
Qi Qi: "No, you're not going too far, you're a good person."
Huangfu Yi: "Yes, I killed people, I used you, I pretended, I committed all sorts of evil deeds."
Qi Qi: "It's alright. If you don't kill, someone else will. You almost died, so it's not excessive."
Huangfu Yi: "Not only him, but also others, many others. Anyone who gets in my way, I will kill. That's just how bad I am! That's the kind of person I am! You knew all along, weren't you laughing at my self-righteous schemes behind my back!"
Qi Qi raised his hand and said, "Don't get agitated, and don't yell at me. I'll say you're good, and you'll say you're bad. How about we make it a mix of good and bad?"
Qi Qi sniffed: "I'm so unlucky. I got beaten up so much as soon as I got on the ship. I should have known better than to come here to escape the heat. What a mess..."
Huangfu Yi only realized today that Qi Laibao actually knew what he had done. It turns out that he wasn't too stupid, but too good. Not everyone can calmly face the scene of being exposed. From that moment until now, his emotions are still turbulent, shocked, ashamed, angry, incredulous, and inferior... He was halfway through his madness when he heard that he had been beaten up.
Huangfu Yi got even angrier: "Who beat you up? Has anyone been beating you up these days? Who was it!"
Qi Qi complained, "It was you! You just shook off my hand and kissed my lips so hard it hurts, and my back hurts too."
