Chapter 46 Tears
Perhaps because of the gentle night, Li Yuqing stopped thinking too much, slowly emptied all the messy thoughts, and began to enjoy this quiet night.
The stars and the moon in the night sky were shining, and the orchid flowers were emitting fragrance. The two of them stayed on the roof together, one sitting and concentrating on eating fruit, and the other lying down and leisurely watching the stars. At this moment, they belonged to each other.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe because the temperature dropped quickly at night, Li Yuqing couldn’t help but sneeze.
Qin Shi turned his head to look at him and noticed that his nose was a little red from the cold. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, exposing his white calves. He had eaten so many chilled fruits, so if he wasn't cold, who would be?
He stared at Li Yuqing's face and observed it carefully, then he noticed that the man in front of him had a little red cheeks and a little pale lips from the cold. He seemed unaware that his body was cold and was still sitting there stupidly.
Qin Shi got up from the recliner. He didn't feel cold, but if this beta stayed any longer, he would definitely catch a cold.
He walked over and spoke softly to Li Yuqing who was sitting on the chair, "Li Yuqing, go down and go back to sleep.
Li Yuqing rubbed his nose and looked up at him in confusion, "Huh? Going down so soon?"
“······”
Qin Shi felt like his brain was frozen and stupid. It seemed a bit too fast to go down now. If he stayed on the roof any longer, he would probably turn into an ice sculpture. He didn't know what was the point of staying here.
Qin Shi said nothing, quickly took off his black coat, reached out and pulled up the hesitant beta, quickly wrapped him in the coat, and took Li Yuqing's wrist and walked quickly towards the stairs.
It’s a complete waste of time to say so much. It’s better to just take people down.
Li Yuqing was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
In his eyes, he was sitting on the recliner and talking to Qin Shi, but the next second, he was easily pulled up by Qin Shi, and then covered by Qin Shi's coat, and was pulled towards the stairs without any question.
The warm and loose coat enveloped his thin body, the cold was dispelled outside, and his body temperature also rose a little.
He didn't know if his brain was really frozen or if he was too panicked, but Qin Shi's coat was too warm, and the hand holding his wrist was so strong, which made Li Yuqing want to lean on him and absorb the warmth from this person.
Li Yuqing was pulled towards the stairs by Qin Shi in a panic. His mind went blank. In his sight was Qin Shi's tall figure, covered in Qin Shi's coat, which had a faint scent that was clean, refreshing and intoxicating.
The temperature on Li Yuqing's face suddenly rose several degrees, and his head quickly turned in another direction. Then he looked back and saw the lonely fruit plate.
As if he had found an excuse to rely on to cover up his confusion, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Hey? Qin Shi, wait a minute, I haven't got the fruit plate yet!"
The frozen beta had no say, and even with these words, he couldn't stop Qin Shi from leading his men away. Qin Shi continued to pull him towards the stairs, saying without looking back, "Don't worry about it, go downstairs and sleep."
Just like that, the two of them left the rooftop together, leaving behind a lonely fruit plate.
······
It was already late. In the lights-out room, Li Yuqing lay on the soft big bed with his eyes open, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep.
The air conditioning temperature in the room was just right, and I was covered with a soft quilt, feeling warm, but it didn't feel as warm as Qin Shi's coat.
Li Yuqing sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, curled up with his head on his knees. He habitually put his right thumb to his mouth, bit it, and then began to daydream.
Since he traveled through the book, the first person he met here was Qin Shi. Now that he thinks about it, it seems like he has always been with Qin Shi.
Whether inside this house or outside, Qin Shi's presence makes him feel particularly at ease. Even though this person's expression is often cold and his eyes are a little fierce, Qin Shi is a good person.
In Li Yuqing's eyes, Qin Shi is a boy with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Although he won't say nice things, it is reflected in his actions. Moreover, Qin Shi has always been very good to him for such a long time, and he can feel it.
Qin Shi would accompany him to the zoo, watch movies with him, and give him a lot of advice. When he was sick, he would take him to the hospital and take pictures for him. Just now, he was afraid that he would be cold, so he gave him his own clothes to wear. Isn't that good enough?
In the world before he transmigrated into the book, Li Yuqing had no family and his only friend was his deskmate Xu Yan. Perhaps because he came from an orphanage, he was unwilling to take the initiative to make friends with other people in the school.
But now, after traveling through the book, his thoughts have changed. He wants to be friends with the protagonist, Lin Mu, and he also wants to be best friends with Qin Shi, and stay with Qin Shi forever.
Anyway, he will never find someone better than Qin Shi, Li Yuqing thought.
Would Qin Shi want to be friends with me?
I think so. After all, he is so nice to me and he must want to be good friends with me.
Li Yuqing bit his thumb, thinking and answering himself.
Suddenly, a scene popped up in his mind. It was the plot about Qin Shi and the original owner in "The Daily Marriage of Rich Omegas".
No, wait a minute, Qin Shi and the original owner had a three-month marriage agreement. Now that he has traveled through time and space with the original owner, Qin Shi will stay with him. What if three months have passed?
Once the time for marriage comes, will Qin Shi still be willing to stay with him?
In other words, if Qin Shi knew that he was not the original owner, would he still be so nice to him?
Thinking of this, Li Yuqing's face turned pale, his eyes suddenly turned red, tears soaked his face, and he no longer had the confidence he had just had.
If Qin Shi knew his identity, that he was just a soul that traveled through a book, would he still be willing to be friends with him?
When Li Yuqing thought that Qin Shi would never look at him again and would never pay attention to him again, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, sour and bitter, and there was a little inexplicable pain.
Some things seem to be beyond control. Li Yuqing's tears kept falling, and his memory went back to the days when he first came out of the book. Obviously, he was not so greedy at the beginning. He just felt that things like traveling through a book could not be controlled, so he just had to take things as they come.
Before, Li Yuqing thought it would be best if he could go back, but if he couldn’t, it didn’t matter. The worst that could happen was that he would just be offline with the plot. He only had one life anyway, so it didn’t matter where he went. Wherever his soul was, that was his home.
But now, after spending some time with Qin Shi, he has changed. He wants Qin Shi's company, wants to be Qin Shi's best friend, and wants to stay with Qin Shi forever.
Maybe he could still endure the cold without feeling the warmth, but Qin Shi was so good, he didn't want to leave the person who gave him warmth.
Li Yuqing shed tears silently. This was the first time since he entered the book that he could fully release his emotions here.
Maybe it was because Qin Shi had never made him cry for so long.
As he cried, he was so tired that he fell asleep on his knees. From that night on, something in Li Yuqing's heart began to loosen, and some changes quietly took place.
