Chapter 61 (Minor Repair)
"I have gotten rid of my father's executive minister." Shen An sat opposite Shen Jian with a soft smile, but his eyes were calm, and there was no sign of joy at the impending victory.
He is becoming more and more like Shen An, or to be more precise, more and more like the current Shen Jian.
Shen Jian glanced at him, hummed, lowered his eyes and turned a page of the ancient book in his hand.
When they replaced the guards in the dark room, they moved to another room. It was large, but covered with layers of heavy curtains, with golden tassels hanging down. In addition to the high-patterned carpet covering the entire room, there was only a scarlet bed with heavy curtains in the dark corner, and a set of carved tables and chairs for two in the middle.
Shen Jian placed the teacup on the round table, glanced at the flowers in the vase, and felt slightly amused at what he had just thought.
Isn't this normal?
He taught Shen An how to identify people, how to use people, and how to get the most benefits with the least cost for two months. If Shen An was not like him, he would have given up long ago.
The other party did not continue to speak, Shen Jian was puzzled for a moment, and hummed in a long tone for the second time, but did not look up.
He was waiting for this little bastard to give him a "reward".
Although Shen An always acted innocent in front of Shen Jian, the leader could guess what kind of character he was behind his back. Shen An never gave up until he saw the rabbit, so there was no reason why Shen An would not do the same.
Shen Jian imprinted the words in the book into his mind, but he did not intend to interpret them now. He just entered them mechanically, intending to take them out and savor them later when he was bored.
The kid opposite was staring at him with eyes that looked like smoke was coming out of his eyes, although he himself seemed to be unable to see the grievance and ambition that was about to emerge from his own eyes.
Shen Jian sneered in his heart and thought that sooner or later he would teach Shen An what it meant to distinguish between superiors and inferiors.
For the first time, the leader, who actually didn't care much about his position, felt the chill brought by his subordinates' unrestrained behavior.
Shen An blinked, staring at Shen Jian, whose hair was growing longer, and the man's hair that had been swept to his neck swayed slightly with his movements.
He stared at the slightly raised hair tip and smiled silently, and said softly as Shen Jian thought, "Then you should give me a little sweetness, right?"
He leaned forward, wet light quietly spreading in his eyes, his pale lips pursed, so well-behaved that it made people feel pity.
The man in front of him didn't buy his tricks at all. He closed the book expressionlessly and casually stacked it on the pile of books next to the chair. With a "pop" sound, Shen An trembled slightly.
He quietly tensed his body, and the threat that silently grabbed his ankle from the front climbed up and pressed on his shoulders, causing him to sink involuntarily.
Shen Jian glanced at Shen An, and did not comment on his involuntary defensive vigilance, and casually moved his eyes away.
He felt that Shen An was still acting, and his expression was even a little disgusted: “Shen An, restrain your expression a little, it’s a bit fake.”
"..." Shen An seemed a little aggrieved, and drooped his eyelashes in frustration, "I really want to know what you will give me this time."
The chestnut-haired boy lowered his eyes, trying his best to hide the growing curiosity and longing in his eyes.
The black-haired man seemed like a bottomless abyss. No matter how he begged or asked him, he would always calmly give a very simple solution and then casually look away from him again.
She moved it to the books, the flowers, even the curtains, but never looked at him more than once.
Shen An admitted that at this time when they were the only two of them relying on each other, the other party did not care to maintain this relationship as carefully as he did, which made him feel very unfair.
Even though they are surrounded by dangerous enemies, they know very well that the secrets they hold in their hands are the only clue that can prevent them from falling into the abyss.
But every time Shen An got a temporary advantage, he would turn around and use this advantage to exchange for Shen Jian's information.
He knew very well what he could use to keep Shen Jian. If he wanted to get out of here, he had to show Shen Jian his abilities bit by bit, waiting for the man to be in a good mood to give him a little bit of relevant information.
He needed this form to prove to Shen Jian that his efforts would not be in vain.
Shen An lowered his eyes, staring at the scar on his palm left by Shen Jian when he taught him how to use the sword, and came back to his senses after a while.
What was he thinking at the time? Oh... As long as Shen Jian showed a little bit of unwillingness to talk, he would immediately give up this attempt that he was originally prepared to try briefly.
But the man watched him indifferently as he took out these things little by little and put them in his hands, then picked them out at random from the pile of junk and handed them to him without a care, and they happened to be the scrap copper and iron he needed.
The poor leader just put down the book and prepared to patiently answer the dark questions, but he had no idea what his subordinates who were thinking about setting a trap were thinking about.
Shen Jian held his chin, waiting cluelessly for questions from his subordinate who seemed to be too lively.
He thought about the current situation and prepared to reveal a little bit of the truth to Shen An.
Two months was enough time for him to figure out what the "cycle" Shen An was talking about was, and he was quite surprised to discover something.
He confirmed this in the genetic test report that Shen An handed him. In the face of Shen An's obvious curiosity, he waved his hand weakly and avoided the person.
Shen Jian sat alone in the room, sighed heavily and aggrievedly, and dropped the documents in his hand.
The light shone obliquely on the paper, clearly revealing the words "99.999% genetic match with..."
[This world also includes me. ] Shen Jian stood up and thought calmly.
It is better to say that the Shen Jian that originally existed in this world is the real and former self of his.
Shen Jian figured out all the connections almost instantly.
He did go back in time, but not the entire world. Instead, he himself went back to the previous world.
This means...
Shen Jian slowly turned his gaze to the door facing him.
He seemed to be able to see through the wide door wall that blocked his view and see the darkness outside the door, as dark as a green pine tree, silently staring in his direction.
Shen Jian knew that Shen An would not leave. This little guy would only feel disappointed because he had not yet completely gained his trust and that Shen Jian did not go through his hands when he handled things himself.
Shen Jian looked at it for a while, then slowly exhaled.
The leader calmly walked across the soft carpet and stood in front of the door, gently knocking on the dark head through the door.
"I'm now glad that you didn't choose to accept the name Shen An... although you are indeed 'one person'." Shen Jian murmured.
It's very simple. Mo Yi's disappearance has made it clear that this is indeed his world. So his existence at this time means...
On the normal line, Shen Jian was building his Wuyan Tower in an unknown place and method, and met his "Shen An", Shen Xiuzhu, Shen Lanhe...
And the noble children that Shen Jian meets now.
...Perhaps it was not the "Chen An" who was later renamed "Chen An", but the "Chen An" who was renamed "Mo Yi".
This can also explain why the time here in Shen An is [cyclical]. He needs Shen Jian's arrival to prove the existence of Mo Yi in the future. Before that, he is not allowed to exist by the world.
Shen Jian looked at the door for a while, then gently stroked it again.
He sighed and whispered to himself reluctantly, "Although it is a gift, I really don't want a gift like this."
His guilt was overwhelming.
So Shen Jian taught Shen An diligently. He swore that when he was still a lawyer, he didn't teach the newcomers he favored so seriously.
Thinking of this, Shen Jian couldn't help but chuckle, crossing his legs, his expression gradually relaxed.
Shen An now, maybe... has some kind of filter for him? So, he has to find a way to adjust the kid's favorability towards him, just in case it's best not to lose control of the situation.
He did not forget the warning in his dream about forcing subordinates into a corner.
Shen An heard the contemptuous smile from the man in front of him.
He slowly raised his head, but his eyes only stayed on Shen Jian's shoulders, not daring to move upwards at all.
This is what he learned when he was looked up again and again, but was pressed down by Shen Jian.
But Shen An didn't need to think to guess that Shen Jian must be mocking him as if he was not worthy of Shen Jian's sincere teaching.
Shen Jian didn't care about him, but as long as he didn't respond to the man, he would threaten him in a very double-standard way, like now.
He took a deep breath and tried to calmly suppress the resentment rising in his heart. "So what will you give me this time?"
He wanted to know where Shen Jian’s bottom line was.
Shen An lowered his eyes, clasped his hands together and placed them on his legs, looking soft and innocent.
Shen Jian thought for a while and replied, “You did a good job this time.”
He touched the dark head in appreciation, and after taking his hand back, he twisted it unconsciously.
You know what, you really don't know, it seems that Mo Yi's hair is softer than Chen An's.
Shen'an's breathing quickened, his eyes drooped, his body stiffened and his fingers curled up.
His heart began to beat rapidly, and for a moment he felt like a child being gently comforted by his family.
Shen Jian shook his head and continued the strategy he had just set to suppress lightly: “But, this is obviously something that can be done faster, right?”
His dark heartbeat stopped. He didn't move, but he kept his head down, and the ice water poured over him from head to toe.
“Ah, but you can still get a reward.” Shen Jian didn’t know that he had become the time that his subordinates least wanted to recall. He thought about it and said gently, “Compared to mediocre people, Shen An is still very, very good.”
Very, very much. This is a double superposition that seems to be a mockery and also seems to be a compliment.
Shen An felt strangely that he could analyze these four words indifferently. His heart had stopped beating, but his blood was still being forced forward bit by bit by Shen Jian's words.
"Well, I want to tell you something."
The man did not stand up, but just waved his hand casually. Shen An stood up involuntarily and walked over, standing three steps away from the man.
The leader placed his hand on his head and touched it again, "Originally I was planning to walk away alone when you broke free of the loop, but now you are so good, so... I will tell you where I am walking."
Shen Jian calmly examined the young man in front of him.
His breathing suddenly became rapid, and he didn't know which word touched him. He looked at Chen Jian with almost no restraint, and the strong emotion was about to burn dry anyone with a conscience.
But Shen Jian has no conscience.
Feel sorry.
The man thought apologetically that he had to go and meet himself in this world. This was his top priority.
So the child could only wait for him here, and when he came back after finishing all his work, then...
"You're planning to give up on me." Shen An suddenly calmed down and stated in a calm tone.
Shen Jian slowly opened his eyes, “No, I just…”
“So, you are going to abandon me.” Shen An interrupted Shen Jian for the first time. He looked at Shen Jian calmly, as if he had made up his mind.
"So, you're going to look for someone, right? That test report? You're going to look for him?" Shen An asked. He didn't even need an answer, and quickly continued, "I don't care."
"You can find as many people as you want. But I will follow you, and I will prove that I can follow you."
Confused and puzzled, Shen Jian didn't dare to speak. He had a hunch that anything he said now might make the situation worse.
Shen An didn’t even look at Shen Jian, broke free from his hand on his head, and said to Shen Jian coldly, “Tonight, I’m going to kill my father.”
"Take me with you."
