☆, Chapter 75, Mwah!
Luo Binghe had probably prepared himself to be kicked out, and he never expected that Shen Qingqiu would actually nod.
He froze on the spot, his expression frozen.
Shen Qingqiu only then realized what he had done and what his nod meant. He felt like killing him to silence him and then committing suicide out of shame and indignation.
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's not what you think! Let me explain!
Luo Binghe didn't give him that chance. He tightened his grip on his waist and his voice deepened: "...You really miss me?"
Shen Qingqiu frowned as he tightened his grip. Luo Binghe, breathing heavily, pressed on, "Really?"
You're covering my mouth, so even if I wanted to answer, I couldn't!
Does it mean you can only nod or shake your head?
Shen Qingqiu nodded and shook his head intermittently, behaving incoherently. Luo Binghe asked anxiously, "Do you want to or not?"
Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry again, Shen Qingqiu had no choice but to admit defeat.
He felt a strange sense of tragic heroism, and, disregarding his pride, he reluctantly nodded.
This time, Shen Qingqiu saw it clearly. The moment he confirmed it, Luo Binghe's breath caught in his throat.
A tiny spark slowly ignited in his pupils, quickly spreading like wildfire across his entire face and his whole being.
Just as Shen Qingqiu thought he was about to burst into tears of joy, Luo Binghe lowered his head deeply, resting his face in the crook of Shen Qingqiu's neck. He slowly released his hands from Shen Qingqiu's neck and began to peck at the corners of his mouth in a series of light, intermittent kisses. Shen Qingqiu finally managed to catch his breath, managing to utter two words through gritted teeth: "...Nonsense."
Luo Binghe murmured, "I miss it so much too. I can't stop thinking about it for a single moment..."
Shen Qingqiu slowly let out the breath he had been holding in his chest.
He lay on the couch like a dead fish, staring at the roof of the bamboo house in despair. After a long while, he sighed and said, "...Then why didn't you go to find your master in the dream a few days ago?"
Luo Binghe stared at him with his dark, moist eyes and said, "Master, don't you find me annoying?"
It bothers me during the day and in my dreams at night. I see that face every single hour of the day, of course it's annoying!
But before he knew it, he'd gotten used to being clung to. Now that Luo Binghe was practically glued to him, Shen Qingqiu was actually starting to find it somewhat acceptable…
What's going on? What's going on?!
How did things get to this point? Isn't this a bit much?
Shen Qingqiu said dryly, "You know you're annoying, yet you still don't restrain yourself."
Luo Binghe said, "Anyway, this isn't the first time Master has complained about me, so let him be annoyed."
Hearing him say that, Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Just how much does Luo Binghe like him?
Even after being treated that way when he first arrived at Cangqiong Mountain, once Shen Qingqiu showed him a little kindness, Luo Binghe completely forgot the hurt he had suffered and put him in his heart without hesitation.
A fragile heart was shattered by Shen Qingqiu without her even realizing it, then she painstakingly picked it up and pieced it back together like a timid wife, carefully handing it over with anticipation, only to have it shattered and pieced back together again...
Luo Binghe said in a low voice, "Master always smiles so happily when he's at the Cangqiong Mountain Sect. I thought he wouldn't miss me much."
That's utter nonsense.
Master Shen had made a habit of showing off over the years, especially within the Cangqiong Mountain Sect. At most, he would only offer a subtle and meaningful half-smile, or a forced smile, or a perfunctory fake smile. He had never actually laughed heartily. Shen Qingqiu: "Nonsense."
Luo Binghe said, "Admittedly, Master's face is never truly smiling. But of course I know whether Master is smiling in his heart or not."
While clinging to someone and whining sweetly, you're also playing with a strand of their hair. Are you even a little girl?!
Shen Qingqiu rolled her eyes and said, "Yes. You're like a tapeworm in my stomach."
Luo Binghe said, "I don't want to be a tapeworm."
Shen Qingqiu swatted Luo Binghe's hand, which was playing with his hair, like swatting a mosquito: "Then what else do you want to do! Tell me, who have I smiled at!" Towards the end, he swatted the hand after every few words, the idle hand still lingering. Luo Binghe actually started counting: "Many people. Uncle Liu... Master Yue, Shang Qinghua, Ming Fan, Senior Sister Ning, from Xian Shu Peak, Wan Jian Peak, Qian Cao Peak, Qiong Ding Peak, Bai Zhan Peak, those guarding the mountain gate, those sweeping the mountain ladders..."
He doesn't even spare the guards at the mountain gate and those sweeping the mountain steps. This kid is more than just vengeful; the entire Cangqiong Mountain Sect is going to be drowned by his imported, extra-strong, fragrant vinegar from the Demon Realm!
Shen Qingqiu criticized, "That way of calling me 'Shishu' was so insincere. You're not allowed to call me that again."
Luo Binghe said resentfully, "He called me a little beast, an ingrate. That's quite a show of sincerity."
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but laugh. The folding fan was placed beside the couch, and he casually picked it up and tapped Luo Binghe on the forehead: "He's wrong? What are you if not a little beast? You dare to reach your wolf claws at me."
He spoke so fluently that he didn't even realize that he had lost his composure. The last part of his sentence, accompanied by a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, seemed both light and heavy, making him appear somewhat frivolous and extremely unrefined.
Luo Binghe, looking down from his vantage point, witnessed this scene and felt a nameless anger burning within him. He unconsciously shifted, slipping one leg between Shen Qingqiu's knees. Fearing he'd be discovered and kicked off the bamboo couch, he quickly offered his head, allowing Shen Qingqiu to tap him with his fan as much as he wanted, saying, "Even if you're a little beast, you're only Master's little beast. No one else is allowed to call you that."
Shen Qingqiu nearly broke the folding fan.
So cheesy.
That's so damn cheesy.
It's both sore and itchy! It's both numb and pleasurable!
No, this can't go on. Shen Qingqiu decided to get down to business and change the increasingly strange atmosphere.
He poked Luo Binghe's chest with his folding fan to steady him: "Get up."
To get down to business, we need to sit properly first. If one person is hunched over the other, even the most serious conversation will turn into something inappropriate. Luo Binghe was reluctant to give up, but he still got up and sat down on the edge of the tatami mat.
Shen Qingqiu slept for five days, his back was so sore from all the sleeping, but he could finally straighten up. He felt that he looked like an old man with a worried expression, rubbing his legs and back, but others probably didn't see it that way.
Her hair was slightly disheveled, falling over her shoulders. The collar of her undergarment was askew, revealing a section of her fair neck and shoulders, with her Adam's apple and collarbone clearly visible. Because she had just rolled around on the couch, a thin blush rose to her cheeks. She frowned and remained silent, rubbing her lower back.
Luo Binghe, without blinking, leaned closer and gently massaged him. Shen Qingqiu said with satisfaction, "Good boy. So thoughtful."
Luo Binghe said, "Master doesn't know the benefits of my thoughtfulness yet."
How adept at currying favor. Just as Shen Qingqiu was about to get to the point, Luo Binghe continued, "When you are facing Tianlang-jun, if Master needs any help, please feel free to call me."
Shen Qingqiu had always avoided bringing up the topic of Tianlang Jun to avoid upsetting Luo Binghe, but he never expected that it would be him who brought it up first.
Shen Qingqiu pondered for a moment, then carefully said, "Your father..."
Luo Binghe buried his head in his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I have no father. I only have my master."
...
I feel like I'm just like your dad!
Shen Qingqiu shook off his embarrassment and said seriously, "If it's something you have to force yourself, don't push yourself."
No matter how eccentric he is, he's still Luo Binghe's father. He's still someone Luo Binghe once secretly admired. Although the real person is far removed from Luo Binghe's imagined ideal.
Luo Binghe continued working with his hands, saying nonchalantly, "No pressure."
Shen Qingqiu observed him carefully. Yes, he did indeed have an expression that... genuinely showed his willingness to help in the beating. There was no trace of reluctance.
This is actually a good thing. If Luo Binghe is truly willing to join forces with the cultivation world to repel Tianlang Jun, not only will the human realm gain a powerful ally, but Luo Binghe can also boost his positive reputation and make up for the negative reputation he gained at Zhaohua Temple.
He felt a little relieved, but then felt it was a bit unfair.
It's not very ethical to conspire with your son to betray your father.
Shen Qingqiu pondered for a moment and said, "My senior brother, the sect leader, probably won't let me fight."
Just now, Yue Qingyuan told him to rest well before leaving, saying, "This matter can be left to your fellow disciples," clearly indicating that he didn't want him to participate in the battle. Shen Qingqiu said, "The time and place of the first snowfall, Luochuan. You'd better pay attention to this time and place."
Luo Binghe loosened his grip on his waist and said gently, "Sometimes, I feel that Master really knows too much about some things."
With a jolt, Shen Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat.
Are you getting a little carried away?
Luo Binghe continued, "Just like back at the Holy Tomb. Master clearly had never entered the Holy Tomb, yet he knew the layout of the tomb chambers and the guardian demons inside like the back of his hand, and was able to make good use of them."
Shen Qingqiu deliberately downplayed the matter, saying, "Qingjing Peak has so many classic texts, they are not just empty words, they are numerous and there must be some useful ones."
Luo Binghe said "Oh," finished rubbing his waist, and began to slowly comb Shen Qingqiu's long hair that was scattered on his back: "The disciples also read those classics, but they didn't see this much. They are indeed far behind their master."
Damn. How could I forget that Luo Binghe also has an incredible academic talent? He said he "read" that pile of dusty, old books on Qingjing Peak, which means he "knows them by heart," so of course he knows whether they have any "usefulness."
This child isn't Yue Qingyuan. If he doesn't want to say, Yue Qingyuan won't press him, but Luo Binghe will definitely pester him relentlessly and get to the bottom of things; he's not so easily fooled. Shen Qingqiu was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get around this situation when suddenly, Ning Yingying's voice came from outside the bamboo hut: "Master, are you awake? May Yingying come in?"
Good boy, what a good apprentice!
Shen Qingqiu said in a low voice, "You go first."
Luo Binghe paused, his hand still: "Why am I the one leaving, and not them?"
Mingfan's voice rang out as well, "Master, all the senior uncles have arrived. Would you like to get up?"
Why are there so many all at once!
Shen Qingqiu jumped off the bed and pushed Luo Binghe to the window. Luo Binghe walked away, turning back to say, "So, Master likes to sneak around like this..."
Shen Qingqiu tapped him on the forehead with his folding fan: "Who was it that was sneaking around, and whose fault was it!"
Why do they always have to make it look like they're having an affair?
Luo Binghe silently flipped out of the window, then reached back in, grasped Shen Qingqiu's hand, and said softly, "Master, after all this has calmed down, would you like to come with me?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "I am still the Peak Master of Qingjing Peak." If Luo Binghe wanted to see him, he could just come directly to him. Why did he have to go with him? Chunshanhen is going to have new material for this story! In the end, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
Luo Binghe sighed, "I think so too."
Just as the window was closed, the bamboo door of the bamboo hut opened. Qi Qingqi arrived before she did, her voice preceding her. She lifted the curtain, revealing a bright and beautiful face, and pouted, saying, "You've really become more and more delicate. Did you get beaten up at Zhaohua Temple or even vomit blood? You can sleep for five days straight!"
Shen Qingqiu turned around and said, half-jokingly, "Junior Sister Qi, please don't be like this. You've always known that I'm frail."
Qi Qingqi snorted, "I've always known you're a troublemaker."
Behind her followed Liu Mingyan, who bowed impolitely upon entering the house, followed by Liu Qingge. Ming Fan and Ning Yingying followed Mu Qingfang at the very back. The bamboo hut, neither too big nor too small, was suddenly packed with people. Shen Qingqiu was embarrassed; thankfully, Luo Binghe had climbed out the window, otherwise, how could they have hidden themselves!
Mu Qingfang laughed and said, "I told you that Senior Brother Shen looked well and was not sick at all. He was really just sleeping. Now you should believe me, right?"
Shen Qingqiu expressed his shame and showed the other peak masters their seats. After Liu Qingge entered, he scanned the room with a sharp gaze and said, "Junior Brother Liu, I'm here."
Liu Qingge withdrew her gaze, turned to Shen Qingqiu, and asked, "Who was here just now?"
