61 The Gardener's Flowerbed (8)
You are not my wife yet.
Standing inside Qin Fu'an's small house, Xie Yunhuai still couldn't quite process why he had been so obedient and tricked into coming to the boy's house with just a few words.
But now that we're already here...
"There's not much food at home, so we'll have to make do for now." Qin Fu'an naturally pulled his wife, who had been tricked into coming, to sit on the sofa and stuffed a can of fruit he had just bought into her hand.
As for cooking...
Sorry, the seven-day crash cooking class kicked him out on the first day because his son burned down the kitchen.
Thinking of the energetic little boy at home, and looking at Xie Yunhuai sitting on the sofa, both bewildered and obedient, Qin Fu'an's smile became even more delightful.
He then sat down next to Xie Yunhuai.
With such a large person sitting down next to him, Xie Yunhuai stiffened uncomfortably, trying to sneak away to move to the side.
But Qin Fu'an immediately called him his wife.
Xie Yunhuai: "..."
Her body stiffened completely, her whole being filled with helplessness. She stared blankly at Qin Fu'an, her eyes wide open, utterly unsure whether to agree or refuse.
Seeing that his simple address had startled the man so much, Qin Fu'an hid his mischievous intentions and, with a smile, reached out and poked his tense arm.
"What are you afraid of?" Qin Fu'an tilted his head, asking him thoughtfully, "Could it be that you already have someone you love..."
"No!" Xie Yunhuai denied, his mouth moving faster than his brain.
When she came to her senses, she met Qin Fu'an's teasing gaze, took a deep breath, pursed her lips, turned her head away, and said stiffly, "I was just... too sudden."
It's like a meteorite suddenly crashing into a calm lake; it's not just a matter of creating ripples, but the entire lake is in constant turmoil.
Qin Fu'an's appearance was sudden, Qin Fu'an's kiss was even more sudden, and he even said that they had a predestined relationship for two lifetimes... Xie Yunhuai's mind was in a daze and he couldn't sort out his thoughts at all.
He wanted to refute Qin Fu'an's words, but the fragments of memory that appeared in his mind could not lie; otherwise, he would not have followed Qin Fu'an's trail to wait for him outside the supermarket.
Xie Yunhuai was initially annoyed by Qin Fu'an's appearance, after all, he was like a lecherous rogue, and his aggressive and relentless manner upon meeting him did not seem like that of a good person.
Later, Xie Yunhuai would often purse his lips or raise his hand to touch them, feeling the faint burning and stinging sensation that remained on them.
He never imagined that he would be so easily taken advantage of by a stranger, and at that moment he was so weak that he completely forgot to struggle.
But just as he belatedly realized he was angry and wanted to teach Qin Fu'an a lesson, those scattered fragments of memory suddenly flashed through his mind again.
The people in the picture are not just Qin Fu'an.
The two faces Qin Fu'an faced were different.
Xie Yunhuai inexplicably knew that both faces... seemed to be his own.
He found it hard to describe the feeling and wanted to know where these scattered fragments of memory came from, so he instinctively went to Qin Fu'an again.
Finally... she was taken home by Qin Fu'an.
Holding the slightly cool can of food in his hands, Xie Yunhuai suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, looked up at Qin Fu'an, and was thinking about how to communicate with him and express that he needed some time to calm down when the other party suddenly spoke first.
"Are you the gardener of Hundred Flowers Town?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunhuai subconsciously shook his head: "No."
no?
Qin Fu'an sized up Xie Yunhuai, whose features were aloof and cold. Recalling Teng Yan's reaction when he heard the name Xie Yunhuai earlier, he couldn't help but ask, "Then what are you?"
It wasn't that his question was strange, but rather that after experiencing two instances, Qin Fu'an probably only knew that Xie Yunhuai would likely have different identities in different instances.
It may not be a person, or even an entity within our understanding.
After all, the other party's dense, jet-black tentacles were still blatantly clinging to him, acting spoiled and unreasonable.
Xie Yunhuai blinked gently. Under Qin Fu'an's curious questioning, he had no intention of hiding anything and answered seriously, "I am a blade of grass."
A blade of grass.
Qin Fu'an was not surprised at all.
He even felt that Xie Yunhuai, who was so serious and couldn't lie, was adorable from head to toe.
"Is this the kind of grass?" A soft, green sprout appeared in Qin Fu'an's palm as if by magic.
Upon seeing what was in his palm, Xie Yunhuai sat up straight in surprise, looking at Qin Fu'an with disbelief and uncertainty, "You... how could you..."
This was a question that was a little too difficult to ask, yet it was the question he most wanted to ask.
How could Qin Fu'an have a part of his body?
It's still... the most precious part, the new shoots. Even Xie Yunhuai himself doesn't have such tender green shoots now.
He simply couldn't raise himself like that.
But in Qin Fu'an's hand was a tender sprout full of life, and Xie Yunhuai could tell at a glance that it was a part that had been taken from his body!
It could never belong to the second plant.
When he tried to reach out and touch it, Qin Fu'an still kept his palm open, letting him touch it.
When the fair fingertips touched the softer buds, the feeling of belonging to oneself became even clearer.
"This is one of the tokens of love that you and I exchanged." Qin Fu'an blinked and said to the stunned young man with a forced smile, "It was given to me in our first life, and I have always kept it safe."
The live chat was flooded with countless exclamation marks condemning Qin Fu'an's shamelessness.
They recognize this sprout too! In the first instance, Xie's last words were clearly a rebuke of you as a liar, so how did it become a token of love now?!
The streamer is so shameless when he tries to deceive his wife!
Xie Yunhuai couldn't see the words condemning the big liar on his behalf. He just quickly withdrew his finger as if burned, his ears turning red as he stammered, "I...I don't remember..."
As he spoke, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
The feeling of being remembered and desperately searching for something by only one person... probably isn't very pleasant.
He remembers nothing, but for Qin Fu'an, she is the lover he has been searching for for three lifetimes. However, to Xie Yunhuai now, Qin Fu'an is just a stranger he has only known for less than half a day.
Xie Yunhuai was sensitive. In fact, as early as when Qin Fu'an mentioned the first, second, and third lives, he felt that such a pursuit was too unfair to Qin Fu'an.
At that time, he wasn't sure whether Qin Fu'an was telling the truth or not, or how much of it was true and how much was false.
So before, he was just feeling awkward and wanted to avoid the cold treatment.
Seeing the tender shoot that belonged to him in Qin Fu'an's hand, Xie Yunhuai suddenly felt a little sorry for Qin Fu'an, thinking it was unfair and undeserved.
"I'm sorry..." He gripped the jar in his hand slightly tighter and couldn't help but explain to Qin Fu'an, "I... I didn't mean to forget."
The faint blush that had appeared on his cheeks from being relentlessly pressured gradually faded, replaced by guilt and unease. He was no longer as awkward and flustered as before, and consciously took on the label of "scumbag," lowering his eyes and quietly apologizing to Qin Fu'an.
...It seems like they've gone too far in deceiving people.
Qin Fu'an watched as Xie Yunhuai unconsciously clenched his white fingers, and felt a rare sense of panic.
He reached out and cupped the young man's soft, fair cheeks, his smiling eyes filled with resignation as he sighed, "Alright, alright, don't be sad. Why do you believe everything I say? Aren't you afraid I'm just swindling you out of your money and your body?"
As she spoke, she rubbed Xie Yunhuai's cheek with a little force, messing up all the sensitive thoughts that had arisen in his heart.
"I was lying to you." Qin Fu'an admitted to lying for the first time. Looking at Xie Yunhuai's wide-eyed astonishment, he said, half coaxing and half helplessly, "You're not my wife yet, because I'm still struggling to pursue you. I've been pursuing you for three lifetimes."
Xie Yunhuai: "..."
My mind is a bit of a mess; I need to calm down.
Seeing his bewildered look, Qin Fu'an let him daze. As for whether he would get angry after he sorted out his thoughts, he didn't know.
Hmm, it's okay. If the kitten is angry and its fur is puffed up, just stroke its fur and coax it, and it will calm down quickly.
Qin Fu'an is very good at flattering and coaxing people.
Taking advantage of this break, in front of Xie Yunhuai and the audience, Qin Fu'an carefully placed the tender sprout back into a small square box that he always carried with him.
Xie Yunhuai's cheeks flushed slightly as he watched, and he inexplicably felt uncomfortable all over.
He was tempted to run away.
But after Qin Fu'an placed the tender bud down, he looked up again and stared intently at him.
Even though he didn't have any particular emotions, Qin Fu'an's words would occasionally flash through Xie Yunhuai's mind.
"...I'm still desperately pursuing you, I've been chasing you for three lifetimes already."
Three lifetimes... that's been so long, it must have been very tiring, right?
[Author's Note]
Anzai: This isn't lying, it's just a little trick to make my wife feel sorry for me.
Yunzai: (gritting his teeth) Liar! You only chased me for 10 days!
I'm late~ This chapter is too short, I'll write a long and sweet one tomorrow!
