Because the content sounds too absurd and the storyteller's voice is too calm and low, it adds a bit of creepy feeling offline.
In this atmosphere, Ye Rong could even hear her own heartbeat clearly, and her fingertips unconsciously grasped his sleeve.
It's the feeling of physical tension that comes instinctively after hearing a secret that's so outrageous that one needs to silence the person, and the secret hope in one's heart that this is really just a story, an absurd dream.
Of course, Ye Rong would not deceive herself into thinking that Shen Yanqing told her all this simply to tell her a story that had nothing to do with reality.
Suddenly, Shen Yanqing pinched her wrist, staring at her face without blinking, not missing a single expression on her face, and said the last sentence: "The man you saw this afternoon who suddenly went crazy was Shen Duo, also my biological half-brother and my biological father."
“………”
Ye Rong thought she would be shocked to hear the truth, but after hearing Chen Yanqing's words, she could vaguely guess something, so that after hearing Chen Yanqing's words, she did not feel surprised after her guess was confirmed. Instead, she felt as if someone had forced a ball of cotton into her chest, making her feel uncomfortable and unable to breathe.
She finally understood why Shen Yanqing looked so pure and indifferent, why he had no fear of death, and why he looked like all his energy had been drained away, and he looked tired and dying like a walking corpse.
And why he was unwilling to leave Bai Zang Mansion.
Abnormal family environment, abnormal parent-child relationship, maybe Shen Yanqing once thought about struggling, thought about escaping from here, but his parents' death still imprisoned him here, and he no longer wanted to leave.
Perhaps for the current Shen Yanqing, there is nothing here that can satisfy him.
The only thing he was interested in was probably the subtle means of torturing people, such as agreeing to let Shen Duo return to the Baizang Mansion and let him reunite with Mrs. Shen and her husband.
But thinking back to Old Lady Shen's expression at that time, which was as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight, Ye Rong always felt that Shen Yanqing's "joking" words were not that simple.
Thinking about how those people in the Shen family were going crazy and running away without leaving any evidence, I knew that Shen Yanqing knew how to control people, just like a cat torturing a mouse. Everything depended on the cat's mood.
Ye Rong was just glad that Shen Yanqing only targeted the Shen family. He seemed to have no interest in the rest of the people and was too lazy to bother with them.
“…………”
Ye Rong calmed down. What should she do at this time? Comfort Shen Yanqing, "It's not your fault that your parents died." "Everything is over. You should look forward." But Shen Yanqing is not a 14-year-old boy, but a 36-year-old mature man, the head of the Shen family with deep mansions, and a big man on the list of the richest people in the world.
Ye Rong didn't think that the boss needed a small shrimp like her to comfort him.
Moreover, she told him that they were neither close relatives nor lovers. The identity of friend was something she had given herself unilaterally. It was not appropriate for her to be so self-righteous and not recognize her own identity.
To Shen Yanqing, she was like a tree hole at the moment.
"………" After figuring it out, Ye Rong looked up at him and said seriously, "I will keep it a secret for you."
Shen Yanqing's eyes moved slightly.
She subconsciously grabbed his sleeve out of nervousness at first, and even the hair on her forehead was wet with sweat, but apart from the visible nervousness at the beginning, there was nothing else to be seen on her.
Even the tension that was originally there slowly relaxed after he finished speaking.
She did not sympathize with his background, nor did she say anything to comfort him, nor did she reveal the slightest resistance or contempt for her identity as a grandmother.
There was still light in her eyes, like the surface of a lake dotted with stars, sparkling brightly.
In the dark and dirty corner, there seemed to be light shining in through the crack.
She had never told anyone about her past, but she spoke it out so easily with hidden malice and a hint of inexplicable expectation, which even surprised Shen Yanqing herself. At this moment, Shen Yanqing had already withdrawn from his previous emotions and his heart had returned to calm, but her unexpected reaction still made him feel long-lost pleasure and relaxation.
He just looked at her like this, and she didn't hide or avoid him, but looked at him quietly.
"So, please believe me." Ye Rong blinked, then looked suggestively at his hand holding her wrist. Although it didn't hurt, her feet were numb from sitting, and her hand was held by Shen Yanqing, so she couldn't move.
Shen Yanqing naturally understood her hint and released her wrist.
Ye Rong let out a long sigh. She had been holding her breath just now, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her body due to her nervousness. Now her legs were numb from the kneeling position on the bed. Now that she relaxed, she suddenly felt hungry.
Ye Rong moved to the bedside, sat for a while before standing up. Suddenly, she felt a little weak. She relaxed suddenly and felt a little dizzy.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yanqing stretched out his long arm and pulled her back from the ground. Seeing the light sweat on her forehead and her pale lips, he frowned slightly: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Rong lay flat on his bed, panting slightly: "...No, I was just too nervous just now."
"Nervous?" Shen Yanqing looked down at her, who looked a little vulnerable because of her bad complexion, and laughed: "You don't show this expression even when facing a gun."
"………" Ye Rong raised her eyes and saw the smile in his eyes. She thought, how can they be the same? One is a mental attack, and the other is a physical attack. With Tian Shuibi, she has full defense against physical attacks and is fearless. Maybe she feels that the potential crisis has been resolved, so she lets herself go at this moment: "I woke up in the middle of the night and was so hungry. I wasted a lot of effort to wake you up, and you deliberately scared me in the middle of the night. How can my weak body withstand it?"
"Really?" Shen Yanqing's expression remained unchanged. His pleasant voice seemed a little low due to the night, but he still spoke softly: "Didn't you say you wanted to listen just now?"
Ye Rong climbed up the pole: "Now I want to drink honey water."
"………" Shen Yanqing really didn't expect her to be so rude. He looked down at her for two seconds, then stood up and left.
Ye Rong lay flat on the bed, looking at the light ball of Shen Yanqing's favorability on the virtual screen of the system. The number inside flashed and had changed to 67.
It seems that she is heading in the right direction.
However, she now really felt a little exhausted, and her body had a slight hypoglycemic reaction, probably because she was really scared just now.
About ten minutes later, Shen Yanqing came back with a glass in his hand.
Seeing that he really brought her honey water, Ye Rong thought, it was after two in the morning and the maids had gone back to sleep. This cup of honey water might not have been made by Shen Yanqing himself.
Ye Rong slowly sat up, holding the cup he handed over with both hands, and looked at Chen Yanqing, her eyebrows curved, with a grateful face: "I'll listen to your secret, this cup of honey water is a reward."
Shen Yanqing: “…”
After Ye Rong finished drinking the honey water, she saw his expression and her tone suddenly became cautious: "...Do you think it's too cheap?"
really.
Shen Yanqing suddenly realized that he was almost tricked by her. He looked up at Ye Rong and saw a sly smile flashing across her sparkling eyes. Shen Yanqing suddenly felt a cat's claw scratching his chest. He stretched out his hand, bent his index finger slightly, and tapped her forehead lightly: "Be honest."
The light ball flashed again, and the favorability increased by 6.
Ye Rong looked obedient and put the empty glass in his hand: "Okay."
Shen Yanqing: “…”
