He emphasized each word:
"I really do."
Shen Meinan felt dizzy and took two steps forward in a daze. She saw Chen Kuang took her around for half a circle and then closed the door himself.
“Plop, plop…”
Shen Meinan's heartbeat quickened, and she stood in the room at a loss.
It was Chen Kuang who said the "taboo", but Shen Meinan widened his eyes and covered his mouth.
Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows: "Why, it seems that I guessed right?"
Shen Meinan whispered: "How did you know?"
Chen Kuang pointed to his eyes and said seriously, "I figured it out."
He smiled and said, "These eyes are the secrets of heaven that cannot be revealed."
"So powerful?"
Shen Meinan believed it immediately and asked nervously, "Then...did you reveal anything else?"
Chen Kuang nodded: "Yes."
"I once heard a story, a cautionary tale about blood ties, about the 'Supreme Bone'."
"Do you want to listen?"
Shen Meinan nodded quickly, brought two stools, and listened attentively to Chen Kuang's story which seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"We're cousins, yet you're trying to steal someone else's talent for your own benefit..."
Shen Meinan said in a daze: "People's hearts are really treacherous."
She looked at Chen Kuang again. The young man sitting opposite her had his eyes blindfolded. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea calmly, as if he was just telling a story.
Shen Meinan felt as if she had become a character in the story...
Could it be that her talent was also taken away?
No, no, no, are bad women really that bad? It seems they aren't that bad... When I was a kid, my father scolded me for being lazy in my cultivation, but she even bought me candied haws.
Shen Meinan was tangled up, but she heard Chen Kuang say again: "Oh, Brother Lin just gave me two music scores, but my eyesight is not good, can Miss Meinan help me read the scores?"
He placed the zither and music score on the table, his expression gentle: "I can play a song for Miss Meinan to express my gratitude."
Shen Meinan naturally wanted it very much.
She originally wanted to listen carefully to the song that Chen Kuang played for her alone, but for some reason, the more she listened, the more confused she became, and the stories Chen Kuang told kept coming to her mind.
Chen Kuang finished the song and said slowly:
"We should be parting ways around tomorrow evening. This song is my farewell gift to Miss Meinan."
Shen Meinan was stunned: "Tomorrow?"
"But the ship won't dock until the day after tomorrow..."
Chen Kuang shook his head and touched his blindfold:
"But I have seen the secret."
The blood vessels in my forehead were throbbing.
"A sudden impulse"...is giving a subtle warning.
…
On the other side, after leaving, Zhou Yanwei did not go back to his room to sleep as he said, but instead leaned on the railing on the top deck and looked at the distant mountains.
"Yan Wei, why are you here?"
Lin Eryou walked up to him in surprise.
Zhou Yanwei pointed to the distance and said lazily, "We're almost at Guandukou—I'm wondering... should I jump off the boat sooner rather than later to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Lin Eryou's steps froze and his expression changed slightly.
He chuckled and waved his fan: "Yan Wei, you are joking. How can there be any disaster?"
Zhou Yanwei said: "Of course..."
He turned to look at Lin Eryou, narrowed his eyes and uttered two words:
“Man-made disaster!”
