Chapter 28 Chapter 28 The Thoughts of Giving Wedding Rings
"Oh my god, you guys..."
Noodles was waiting at the table until his mouth watered, but no one showed up. He ran over and saw the male protagonist and his host hugging each other in an unusually intimate manner, and he immediately exclaimed.
Halfway through the call, EQ hurried to catch up with the line, and hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was too late.
Almost the second after hearing the sound of noodles, Xu Zhaoyi immediately took a step back and withdrew from Qin Sheng's arms. He managed his facial expression well. If you ignore the red ears on both sides, I'm afraid no one would notice that he was embarrassed.
Qin Sheng rubbed his nose, pretending nothing had happened, and said to him, "The meal is ready. Let's talk while we eat."
Xu Zhaoyi was relieved to see that he was considerate enough not to ask why he was hugging him, "Okay."
To be fair, if the person he secretly likes suddenly loses control and throws herself at him, he may not be so graceful. Even if he wants to save her face, he will have to make some indirect remarks.
At the dinner table, Xu Zhaoyi finally told the reason why he was so excited just now. It was because he found a formation in the book "Compendium of Dongxuan Formations" that could dissolve the resentment of evil spirits and allow them to reincarnate directly. It was called the "Huasheng Lunzhuan Formation"!
Qin Sheng suddenly understood. No wonder Xu Zhaoyi's emotions fluctuated so much. In this world's cognition, it was impossible for evil spirits to be accepted into reincarnation. However, the "Compendium of Dongxuan Formations" was given by the system, and like the Soul-Soothing Jade, it was not bound by this rule.
And there just happens to be such a formation here that can help evil spirits skip the cycle of reincarnation and reincarnate directly. I don’t know whether it is due to Xu Zhaoyi’s halo as the male protagonist, or the system algorithm is taking advantage of every opportunity to help him improve the male protagonist’s favorability.
If it was the latter, then it was a very successful outcome, as everyone was so happy that they jumped on him.
But if you think about it, you can understand it. This matter must have been weighing on Xu Zhaoyi's mind. There was no solution, so he could only endure it. Now that there is hope, the heavy emotions suddenly burst out, making it so difficult to control himself.
"Let's study it after dinner."
"good!"
Xu Zhaoyi calmed down. The impulse that had arisen from his emotions before, "Even if Qin Sheng wanted him to marry her, it's not completely impossible for him to consider it," had faded, but...
Looking at Qin Sheng again at this moment, apart from the polite smile on his lips as usual, his expression was calm and unperturbed. However, he found that he actually felt a sense of disappointment that his expectations had not been met.
Not many, but they do exist.
This is totally inappropriate. Xu Zhaoyi has a clear mind. His hesitation at that moment was out of gratitude rather than emotion, and it was not rational. Qin Sheng was right to remain unmoved.
However, rationality cannot completely cover up selfish instincts. People always subconsciously have higher emotional demands on those who truly love them.
It was as if there were two little people quarreling in my heart, one was talking incessantly about reason, and the other was saying that he would not listen and was just a tortoise shelling him.
After dinner, the 'family of four' sat in a circle in the study, discussing how to set up the Transformation Wheel Array.
Husheng was once a great demon. Although he has now become as weak as Thumbelina, he has seen and eaten before. He could tell at a glance that the four centers of the formation were four purple talismans.
It sighed and said, "Before the Dharma Ending Age, although purple talismans were powerful, they were not too rare. A Jindan stage cultivator could always draw a few a year. But now, even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators rarely see them. Most importantly, the lack of spiritual energy has caused many of the natural treasures needed to make purple talisman paper to become extinct!"
In other words, even if Xu Zhaoyi could really cultivate to the level of Golden Elixir one day, it would be like "a good cook cannot cook without rice".
However, Xu Zhaoyi was not discouraged after hearing this. Although it sounded like hope was still slim, compared to before, he now had a direction to work towards, and he was not in that urgent a hurry.
He had observed that Qin Sheng's soul-soothing jade not only prevented his parents from being tortured by yang energy, but also had a certain degree of repairing effect on their souls. Although his parents still could not communicate with him, their condition had visibly improved.
"It's okay, I..."
"It's okay, we can take our time with these."
Xu Zhaoyi wanted to say that he would find a way, but Qin Sheng spoke almost at the same time as him, naturally incorporating the matter into their common goal.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
In fact, Qin Sheng didn't think so much. In Xu Zhaoyi's view, the relationship between them was a transaction, but Qin Sheng paid too much regardless of gains and losses. But in fact, the so-called transaction was just an excuse Qin Sheng used to gain his trust and let him stay with him at ease.
Qin Sheng never forgot that he was supporting the male protagonist for Xu Zhaoyi's system, and he was mentally prepared for the trouble.
The four difficult talismans were temporarily ignored. Xu Zhaoyi took a piece of white paper and roughly drew the formation diagram according to the description. Qin Sheng carried Noodles to sit on Xu Zhaoyi's lap, raised the little stump's eyes, and then ordered, "Come, scan it, and then reconstruct it in 3D."
"Okay!" Noodles opened and closed his eyes, and his originally anthropomorphic big eyes turned into two pure white light bulbs.
Qin Sheng stood up and turned off the lights in the room. Noodles projected the three-dimensional model in the center of the study. It was a simulated rotating formation constructed by light, which looked very exquisite.
Hu Sheng watched in amazement, thinking that this little fly spirit really did have some special skills, no wonder it was so favored in this family. It also had to work hard to cultivate its past skills and not be outdone.
The three-dimensional formation became clearer and more distinct. Husheng pondered it carefully and offered a suggestion that was more feasible: "This formation should be set up in a place where yin and yang energies converge. Let's put the purple talisman aside for now and look for a suitable place first."
Such a place is not easy to find. Qin Sheng had thought about getting some pure Yin energy to replenish his father-in-law and mother-in-law before, but he had no idea how to do it.
Xu Zhaoyi was not sure what he was thinking about. After a few seconds of subtle silence, he said, "I might know a suitable place."
Qin Sheng asked hurriedly: "Where?"
Xu Zhaoyi glanced at him meaningfully, leaving Qin Sheng completely confused before he looked away and whispered four words:
"Your home is forbidden."
“…………”
Qin Sheng and Mian Mian both felt guilty for a moment, but they pretended to be ignorant and curious, not daring to show it at all.
Xu Zhaoyi had been there in his previous life. As for how he got there, it was now a thing of the past that he could no longer recall. In short, that place was like a small underworld in the world of the living that was specifically "serving" Qin Sheng. It really met the requirements.
He couldn't explain why he knew this, so he could only make another excuse: "I just remembered that you told me that after each of your lives, your soul would be intercepted and detained in the forbidden area. But we all know that even if the soul stays in the human world without its original intention, it will gradually become rational and become a ghost after a long time.
But you didn't, which means that the forbidden formation provides you with an environment very similar to the underworld - such as pure yin energy and the punishment of being burned by karmic fire.
Souls burdened with karma must atone for their sins before reincarnation in the underworld, so in theory you can still seamlessly enter the cycle of reincarnation.
But I don't think you'll be reincarnated through the underworld, otherwise how can they guarantee that you'll be reborn into the Qin family?"
Of course, there are some ways to mark the soul, but there is a certain risk of being discovered by the underworld. He doesn't think that the Qin family will take this risk if they have a choice.
"I've never seen the forbidden formation you mentioned, but I suspect it might be similar to the Transformation Wheel Formation, a simulation of a small reincarnation cycle."
As Xu Zhaoyi was speaking, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Maybe the purple talismans we need to set up the formation are already available in your forbidden area!"
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows. This was a possibility he had never imagined before, but it was reasonable and well-founded, so he was convinced.
This matter was put on the agenda for the future, and Xu Zhaoyi became more concerned about cultivation. He still remembered what Qin Sheng said, that he would wait until he reached the ninth level of Qi training before he would be willing to marry him, and then he would move back to the Qin family and wait for an opportunity.
In his previous life, he probably never dreamed that he would still look forward to officially marrying the eldest young master of the Qin family as soon as possible, and even practice hard to meet the other party's requirements.
It sounded like he needed some Chinese medicine to regulate his body. Returning to the room, Xu Zhaoyi covered his eyes and sighed.
After a few more days, with sufficient spiritual energy, Husheng finally restored his human form to the size of a noodle. However, the shepherd's purse leaves on his head were still there, moving as flexibly as octopus tentacles. It was hard to say which one looked more bizarre, it or the noodles.
If a thief could break into their house, Qin Sheng had no doubt that the thief would be scared to death by these two "kids" first.
However, Husheng was always eager to do anything, even more virtuous than the Snail Girl. After learning from Qin Sheng for two days, she took over the cooking. Apart from handling business emails outside, Qin Sheng had completely free time.
After that, the daily routine at home became cooking for the students and washing dishes for the noodles. Two three-head-tall children stood on stools, wearing small aprons and grunting as they worked, looking just like the cabbages being abused by Zhou Baopi. Qin Sheng's mouth twitched every time he saw it.
Xu Zhaoyi went into seclusion again. Perhaps the system couldn't stand Qin Sheng being idle, so it gave him a small task.
This task seems to have nothing to do with Xu Zhaoyi. It is just like doing good deeds and accumulating merits as before.
However, this time, because he had the fourth level of Qi Refining skills that he could call upon at will, the mission was no longer as simple as giving orders and making charitable donations behind the scenes. He had to go out in person.
Qin Sheng glanced at the time given for the task and frowned. It was tonight, so it was quite urgent.
Most of the guards outside were at the third level of Qi Refining, which was lower than or equal to Xu Zhaoyi's level. They mainly relied on numbers to win. With Qin Sheng's current level of Qi Refining, he could still sneak out by himself by bypassing their encirclement.
But the problem was, how could he explain to his family that he had been away from home all night? He could hide it from others, but not from Husheng. He had to tell his family anyway.
If he sneaked out secretly, he would not be able to explain to his family. If he went out openly and shook off the guards, it would alert the enemy. He was in a dilemma for a while.
So he thought about it for a moment and decided to confess everything to Xu Zhaoyi.
After what happened to Xu Zhaoyi's parents, he felt that the relationship between them was no longer based on simple mutual benefit. Perhaps if they were open and honest with each other, they could achieve more with half the effort.
But Mian Noodles advised him not to gamble. What if Xu Zhaoyi suddenly thought that this was a scam and would rather bear the backlash and unilaterally sever their engagement? The current good situation would immediately fall through.
[Host, in his eyes, you have a criminal record after all. In your previous life, the original owner deceived him to death. To be honest, the fact that he is still willing to try to trust you in this life is just naive of him!]
Of course, it also had a lot to do with how they guided Xu Zhaoyi to discover his parents, but Noodles didn't dare to mention it at the moment, for fear that Qin Sheng would become arrogant after hearing it.
At the dinner table, Noodles, who had rarely been able to concentrate on his food, fired off a barrage of questions: "You weren't like this before. Didn't you always believe in not popping champagne at halftime until everything was settled? Where's your sanity? How could you have such a love-brained, tactical, overheated thought? Could it be that your engagement has affected your mind, making you fall in love with him and unwilling to lie to him again?"
Qin Sheng lost his appetite after hearing his nagging. The last sentence made him feel so nauseous that he got goose bumps all over his body. He quickly interrupted the spell and said, "Alright, you're getting more and more outrageous."
What's so outrageous about that? Just keep pretending! It hasn't forgotten the infuriating hug it gave these two people when they ran into them on the stairs before!
Noodles snorted, "No, that's not possible. It's best if my colleague tells him in person after he wakes up. At the very least, if you absolutely must confess yourself, you have to wait until the Qin family incident is over."
"Okay, then let's kill the Qin family first." Qin Sheng rubbed his temples, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He thought of the box that the guardian had put into the mountain.
After dinner, he found the nurse who was photosynthesizing in the main courtyard and asked, "Do you know how to escape into the earth? Can you lead others?"
The guard nodded and shook his head, and said honestly, "Yes, I can, but I can only carry things, not people, not even living things. If I drag a living thing underground, it will be suffocated by the soil very quickly."
"This is easy to solve." Qin Sheng decided to give it a try and asked Noodles to find a wooden box that could hold him. As long as there was enough oxygen during the period, it would be fine.
Noodles dragged the box over and was about to invite Qin Sheng in, but unexpectedly, Qin Sheng picked him up and put him in. Then the lid was closed and the box was pitch black.
The noodles are numb: “…”
Qin Sheng patted the top of the box and said, "Be good, if you can stop breathing, I won't put the oxygen bottle in you."
“………”
"Why aren't you talking?" He knocked again.
“…I’m afraid you won’t like it.” Noodles hummed, ready to wait for Qin Sheng to ask curiously, and then it would bring up the embarrassing restricted scene that happened last time when it was locked in the small dark room.
But Qin Sheng didn't play by the rules and had no desire to learn. "Thank you for your consideration, but that's enough."
“………” Very disappointed.
The human heart is really cunning.
The noodles were forced to take a primitive-level 'elevator', and the protector directly sent it two miles away and then back, and it really didn't alarm the people outside at all.
It's not even bumpy at all, it travels in a straight line without obstacles, it's stealthier than an airplane, and faster than a subway. Apart from the poor environment and the need to breathe oxygen after a long time, there are no other disadvantages.
When night fell that day, Qin Sheng changed into a sweatshirt and jeans, which was completely different from his usual style of clothing. He put on a baseball cap and a mask. At first glance, he looked like a high school student. In short, if you don't look closely at his eyes, most people will never associate him with the name Qin Sheng.
After completing the disguise, Qin Sheng asked Husheng to use this method to send him out of the manor. In order to facilitate the action, he took a taxi to a hidden property and drove out.
The mission was to rescue a mother and daughter, but Qin Sheng arrived at an office building in the city center according to the location provided by the system.
"Are you going to ask me to search floor by floor?" Qin Sheng stopped the car and looked at the entire dark office building, which he estimated to have at least twenty floors, and fell silent.
Noodles was eating snacks at home, and he replied with a distracted look: "That's impossible. By the time you search through every floor, the person we want to save will probably be dead by the time you find them."
Qin Sheng was about to ask it what it thought, but he suddenly sensed an unusual energy fluctuation coming from the sky, and he looked up abruptly.
There are people fighting over here.
He followed the noise to confirm the floors and was counting when the glass windows on the sixth floor exploded one by one. Not only him, but even the security guard on night shift in the building was alarmed.
[Haha, quite clever.] Qin Sheng thought about it for a moment and realized that this mother and daughter were quite good at choosing places to hide.
When practitioners fight with each other, they mainly rely on their own abilities, and usually no one interferes. However, if they cause a big mess among ordinary people and cause panic, they will be unacceptable to the entire circle.
The mother and daughter chose to take refuge in this deserted office building in the middle of the night. The beauty of this is that it does not allow ordinary people to face the threat of practitioners directly, causing the situation to get out of control, nor is it really an "isolated island", so the opponents dare not be too unscrupulous.
However, Qin Sheng felt that they might have made a mistake. With such a big commotion, the security must have called the police, but the fight above showed no signs of abating. It seemed that the other side had some background and was fearless.
At this time, the woman upstairs could hardly hold on any longer. She looked back at her mother who was seriously injured and unconscious, and felt despair in her heart. She was afraid that she would not be able to escape today.
She was filled with resentment. Even if she was going to die, she couldn't just die so easily as someone wished. After making up her mind, she stopped resisting and instead took out a dagger and pointed it at her heart.
This action caused the face of the Taoist priest in black opposite her to change drastically.
"Yangqi Longhu Xuantan Jiang..." The woman opened her thin lips slightly and chanted the spell rapidly. As she chanted, the dagger pierced through her clothes and slowly reached into her heart.
"Shut up!" The Taoist in black moved even faster, not daring to let her finish the spell. He was in front of her in an instant and reached out to grab the dagger.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman who was unconscious on the ground woke up at this time and rushed to stop him regardless of her own safety. He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"Let her go!" the black-robed Taoist said angrily, "She is praying to the gods. After she finishes chanting this curse, your daughter's soul will be scattered!"
Chant the mantra to invite the True Lord of Xuantan, using yourself as the guide. All those who have karmic connection with him, no matter how far away, will be rewarded for their good and punished for their evil.
If it were before the Dharma Ending Age, the Taoist in black would not have to be so fearful. As long as he stopped temporarily, the curse would not be able to do anything to him and could only stop him for a moment.
However, the spiritual energy is now exhausted, and the person who summoned the god has a low level of cultivation and cannot withstand the damage caused by the god's descent. There is no spiritual energy to repair and nourish it, so he is forced to use this spell, and it is only a matter of time before his soul is scattered.
Her soul was destroyed. After tracing back to the cause and effect, the person who killed her must pay the same price. This is also the reason why the Taoist in black was nervous.
Even more cruel than dying together!
What a vicious girl! He just wanted them to die, but she actually wanted to drag everyone else down with her!
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she quickly turned around to stop him. The Taoist in black knocked her to the side with a palm. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he felt his heart tighten, a sense of crisis suddenly came over him, and his hair stood on end. But before he could turn around, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness and fainted.
"My beautiful lady, please stop reading. If you continue, you will die."
Qin Sheng succeeded in his attack and released the black-clothed Taoist's neck, letting him fall to the ground. While talking, he walked to the middle-aged woman, reached out to check if she still had a pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had caught up.
"Who are you?" The woman paused her spell, but she still held the dagger against her heart vigilantly.
"I'm just passing by." Qin Sheng took out two first aid pills and threw them to her, saying, "You decide whether to take them or not. Also, this man in black won't be unconscious for long, so you'd better be aware of this."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, clapped his hands and prepared to leave. His nonchalant look made the woman relax a little. She looked down at the medicine in her hand, gritted her teeth and took one herself.
The effect of this medicine was much better than she had expected. She soon felt that the stagnation of qi and blood was no longer so severe. She quickly got up and fed the remaining pill to her mother.
At this time, Qin Sheng had already walked to the elevator outside and remotely instructed Noodles to delete the surveillance footage along the way. When the elevator door was about to close, as expected, he saw the woman carrying her mother on her back and quickly following.
"Thank you for saving me and my mom... I'm sorry I was so nervous..."
In fact, if you think about it calmly, you will realize that there is no way that she and her mother are worthy of being calculated against by others for saving their lives. Even when they were hunted down today, they were just being used as scapegoats, characters that could be thrown away after being used.
Qin Sheng didn't care what she thought. He just comforted her in a gentle voice out of habit: "It's okay. I understand. Between life and death, it's never too cautious."
The woman's face became even more ashamed. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "It's just that you probably don't know who is chasing me. If you save me, you might get into trouble."
Qin Sheng said, "Who is it?"
"It's the Qin family." The woman bit her lip and looked at him: "I don't know if the Qin family can find out who saved me tonight. If possible, you'd better keep a low profile and stay away for the time being."
When practitioners talk about the Qin family so seriously, everyone usually understands what they mean.
Qin Sheng seemed not to have expected this answer, and his eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.
The Taoist in black was actually someone sent by the Qin family. Fortunately, they didn't have a head-on confrontation just now, and the other party didn't even see a corner of his clothes. Otherwise, to be on the safe side, he would have to go back and silence him.
He was stunned for a few seconds before his expression became more serious. He asked, "Can I know why the Qin family is hunting you?"
There was nothing to hide. The woman gave a wry smile and confessed, "I just know they found the wrong person, but they wouldn't believe me even if I told them. My name is Feng Lili..."
For some reason, after she said her name, she felt a chill all over her body and subconsciously looked up, but the young man who saved her was wearing a mask, but his expression was still gentle. She breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself that she was seeing things.
However, her strong intuition made her explain it immediately: "The wind of the scenery, Mu Zili, Wang Lili."
Qin Sheng nodded with a smile, motioning her to continue.
Feng Lili calmed down and said, "I really don't know why the Qin family sent people to hunt me down, but I know that the person they really want to kill is not me, but my twin sister Feng Lili."
She and her mother were definitely pushed out by her sister to avoid disaster, but she didn't know what her sister had done to offend the Qin family, a behemoth.
In fact, Feng Lili had not expected that it was just a matchmaking, and she was not the culprit. The Qin family would actually be so persistent for a sickly person in the family who could not practice. They would not let go after finding her and would not let her go until they killed her.
"How much do you know about your sister?"
The elevator reached the first floor. Qin Sheng asked while motioning Feng Lili to follow him. Feng Lili had nowhere to go and his home was no longer safe, but he still hesitated for a moment, worried about bringing trouble to his benefactor.
"I……"
"Don't worry, follow me. The Qin family can't find you."
Qin Sheng knew what she was worried about and spoke with certainty. Feng Lili had no choice but to believe him and got into Qin Sheng's car with her mother.
After settling down, Feng Lili began to answer Qin Sheng's earlier question. Anger flashed in her eyes as she said, "When my sister and I were very young, our parents divorced. I followed my mother, and my sister followed my father to Southeast Asia. We haven't seen each other in years. We only recently got in touch, and I never expected such a devastating disaster to follow."
At that time, Feng Lili did a lot of strange things, such as never coming over when she was home, and every time they contacted, it was only through video. Her mother also said that the sisters looked very similar, even their dressing styles were exactly the same. Several times she couldn't recognize whether it was the eldest daughter or the youngest daughter who came home.
At this point, thinking back to all the signs that something was wrong before, what else could Feng Lili not figure out?
It's really hateful. If she was just asked to be a scapegoat, she wouldn't be so resentful. Feng Lili really didn't consider the safety of her biological mother at all!
Just now she thought they were doomed to die, and she would rather die than cast the spell, just to drag Feng Lili to die with her. The Taoist in black was just a by-product.
After hearing this, Qin Sheng roughly understood what had happened. Since Feng Lili was innocent, he didn't mind sending him to the west. After all, it was satisfying for the Qin family to kill the wrong person under the banner of venting their anger for him, but at this stage, he was the one who had to bear the consequences of his karma.
Moreover, he always felt that keeping Feng Lili might come in handy in the future.
So he drove Feng Lili back to the property they came from and let Feng Lili live there with her mother first.
"Don't go out for the time being. Stay here. I will have people deliver daily necessities on time."
After Qin Sheng finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Lili and her mother who was still in a coma. He left another bottle of medicine and said, "This is the kind I gave you just now. You and your mother should take one pill a day. You should be almost healed in three days."
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
"To be honest, I have some accounts to settle with your sister and the organization behind her. Just think of me protecting a clue. Don't feel any burden."
Feng Lili secretly widened his eyes when he heard this. It turned out that the cool feeling he had felt in the elevator before was not an illusion.
It was a close call, I escaped death, but when I turned around and introduced myself, I was almost stabbed by my benefactor.
Fortunately, she explained quickly, and this benefactor was not like those people in the Qin family who could not understand what she was saying.
She opened her mouth to ask her benefactor's name, but when the words came to her lips, she felt something was wrong. Her benefactor had been wearing a hat and a mask, and obviously did not want to reveal his identity. It would seem very rude of her to insist on asking.
Qin Sheng had no idea of her complex inner thoughts. After settling the mother and daughter, he returned to the vicinity of the manor and sent a message at the old place to notify the guards to pick him up.
He had already received the Lingxi Ring, the reward for the mission, but after taking it out, he discovered that it was a set of matching rings, the size of which could be adjusted to the thickness of the wearer's finger.
After taking a look at the function, Qin Sheng knew who the other one was reserved for by the system. It was the Lingxi Ring. As the name suggests, the two people wearing it can communicate with each other in a telepathic way, just like he and Noodles communicated in their minds.
Apart from Xu Zhaoyi, he couldn't think of anyone else to give this thing to, and he didn't have a friend with whom he had such a close relationship that they had such telepathic connection.
When I got home, I wanted to go back to my room to take a shower and change clothes, but as soon as I entered the living room, I saw Xu Zhaoyi suddenly stand up from the sofa and look towards the entrance.
"Where have you been?"
"You're not in seclusion..."
The two looked at each other for a moment. Qin Sheng thought of his words in these few seconds and started to explain first: "I'm going out to get something, and I can't let the Qin family know."
He took off his mask and walked closer, took out the wedding rings and waved them in front of Xu Zhaoyi.
Xu Zhaoyi's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression suddenly became unnatural from the initial worry and seriousness.
This ring, should... shouldn't it be for him?
How could he refuse without being hurtful?
However, given their nominal relationship, it seems normal for them to wear couple rings. Wouldn't it be too pretentious to refuse?
But if I don’t refuse, will it give the other person the wrong impression?
For a moment, it felt like facing a formidable enemy.
It was as if a deer was running around in his mind, and he completely ignored the second half of Qin Sheng's words, which was that the Qin family must not know about it. If it was an ordinary wedding ring, there was nothing to hide from the Qin family.
Qin Sheng had already started to introduce the uses of the pair of rings. Of course, he kindly filtered out the name Lingxi Ring to prevent Xu Zhaoyi, a straight man, from feeling uncomfortable wearing it.
"Pick one and wear it." Qin Sheng said, placing the two rings in his palm and holding it out.
"……Um?"
Xu Zhaoyi was absent-minded and didn't listen carefully just now. Now seeing Qin Sheng letting him choose as a matter of course, he looked very embarrassed, but still slowly reached out and took one from Qin Sheng's hand.
When I tried to put my finger in it, it felt awkward and I couldn't get it to fit on my hand.
Qin Sheng hadn't expected his Kongtong syndrome to be quite serious. Seeing him like this, he could only comfort him: "Just think of it as a miniature walkie-talkie. You may not need it now, but it will be much more convenient when we return to the Qin family."
Xu Zhaoyi looked up at him, his eyes rarely blank. Qin Sheng sighed, grasped his hand holding the ring, and helped him put the ring firmly on the ring finger of his left hand.
[Can you hear me?] He tried to connect.
Xu Zhaoyi’s eyes widened as he heard Qin Sheng’s voice without him opening his mouth: [………]
"It seems I heard it." Qin Sheng patiently taught: "You can try communicating with me in your mind. You have to concentrate on thinking that a certain sentence is addressed to me, so that I can hear it. Once you become proficient, it will be no different from a normal conversation."
Xu Zhaoyi struggled to reply: […Okay.]
He finally straightened his mind and looked carefully at the ring on his hand. This was another "scientific product" that he could not understand.
It was quite novel, and he tried not to think about the hidden intention behind Qin Sheng making them into couple rings.
