Qin Yu cleared his throat, “No matter what, I will never accept Lin He’s confession, let alone be with him. Okay, I’m done. Did you hear me clearly, Commander Jiao Yi?”
Feeling the great joy coursing uninhibited in his heart, Jiao Yi pretended to clench his fist naturally, put it to his lips to cover the raised corners of his lips, “I heard you clearly.”
At this time, light came through the window, and it was dawn.
“Jiao Yi?” Qin Yu seemed to have discovered something suddenly, with a surprised expression. Jiao Yi paused and looked at him in confusion.
“You’re blushing.” Qin Yu said fiercely.
What?! When Jiao Yi heard this, he subconsciously touched his face.
This time he is really red, Qin Yu thought as he blinked and glanced at the glow rising from his pale skin.
“So this is a deliberate lie the first time, host” The system just noticed the situation outside
“System, don’t speak to me in this tone, it’s too boring.” Qin Yu said in a cold tone.
“Ha!” The man whose thoughts were exposed was so cold and heartless.
***********
“Qin Yu!” Just like last time, Xun Ling went straight to Qin Yu as soon as he got to the Demon Realm.
Qin Yu put down his pen and raised his eyes, “Why is the Emperor here?” Although it was a question, his tone was quite normal and there was no emotion at all.
Xun Ling clenched his fists under his wide and flowing sleeves, then unclenched them, saying, “I heard about Qin He.”
“Oh, if the emperor came here just to talk about this,” Qin Yu picked up his pen and continued to immerse himself in correcting the document, “Well, now that I know it, you can go back.”
Seeing Qin Yu’s calm and unshakable appearance, Xun Ling straightened his lips, there was a hint of gloom between his brows. In fact, Qin Yu’s attitude towards Xun Ling could not be said to be good or bad. It was more of a neglect, which was no different from the past.
But Xun Ling just didn’t like it, especially after he learned all the truth about that year. Obviously, it wasn’t like this a long time ago. You used to always look forward to my coming, he thought.
“You also said that was before.”
When he suddenly heard the reply, Xun Ling realized that he had said what he was thinking out loud in a moment of distraction.
After finishing his words, Qin Yu looked back at him with a flat expression. Xun Ling could not ignore the indifference in his eyes when he looked at him. He was deep in the quagmire of a series of complex emotions such as sadness and regret. He said, “As long as you are willing, we can immediately return to the past.”
Qin Yu’s expression finally relaxed, he slightly rubbed his eyebrows, adjusted his body and looked at Xun Ling in front of the desk with a scrutinizing look.
Hearing the other party mention the past nostalgically just now, Qin Yu answered his question even though he had doubts in his heart. Later, he heard him say that he wanted to go back to the past as if he was suffering from a demon.
Qin Yu couldn’t keep calm anymore, “What nonsense are you talking about?” A vicious person suddenly comes to your door and tells you that we should get back together and go back to the past. Isn’t that just nonsense?
Xun Ling stood there, his eyes distracted.
Something was wrong. Qin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. Normally, Xun Ling would have given him a slap in the face with his words and waved his sleeves before going out. He would not still be standing in front of him, looking lost as he is now.
It was completely inconsistent with his understanding of the other party. Qin Yu tapped the top of the desk with his fingertips, calling back Xun Ling’s attention, “Emperor, is there anything else?” The implication is that if you have anything else to say, please speak quickly, if you don’t, leave quickly.
“Yes, of course!” Xun Ling was shocked by Qin Yu’s words just now. He didn’t know how to react for a moment, but now he’s back to his senses. Fearing that he would be kicked out the next moment, he quickly stepped forward to further shorten the distance between him and Qin Yu.
“There is a seat next to you.” Qin Yu frowned slightly and pointed to the empty seat next to him.
“No.” Xun Ling shook his head. In fact, he had not yet completely recovered from the strong and heavy feeling of loneliness. It turns out that in Qin Yu’s heart, all his true feelings are all lies.
But if he thinks deeply and puts himself in Qin Yu’s position, Xun Ling feels that these words were not too much. In fact, even if he was really Qin Yu, he would say something a hundred times uglier.
After all, what he had done in the past was really too much. Even thinking about it now, he would feel heartbroken and cry, and then be overwhelmed by guilt and despair that made him breathless. What’s more, what about Qin Yu, who has been in the victim’s position from beginning to end?
Why was I so cruel in the first place? He thought about it more than once, but no matter how much he thought about it, it was useless. After all, the matter had come to this, and the most important thing now was to save everything.
“I’m here to tell you something…”
***********
Jiao Yi put down the tea tray and handed the tea cup to Qin Yu. Since the last time someone pretended to be a servant to serve tea and assassinate Qin Yu, Jiao Yi was worried and took over the matter.
“I seem to have seen the Emperor outside the palace just now. Of course, I may have seen it wrong.” After all, it was a fact that the other party was not good at dealing with His Highness, so why would he take the initiative to come to see His Highness?
Qin Yu took a sip of tea, “You read that right, it’s him.” Jiao Yi was stunned for a moment. Lin He had already returned to the Immortal Realm. He couldn’t think of a reason for Xun Ling to come to see Qin Yu, “He came to His Highness for…”
“It’s an insignificant thing, don’t worry about it.” Qin Yu put the tea cup on the desk, looked at the tea leaves floating in it and went through the bloody past told by Xun Ling in his mind, and added, “Don’t worry about it, whether it’s people or things.”
It’s hard to take back the water that has been spilled. Some things just happened, and it’s useless no matter how much you regret it afterwards, not to mention there is no regret medicine in the world.
Even if God’s will plays tricks on people in the early stage, aren’t all the choices in the later stages chosen and done by oneself?
In the final analysis, it’s just your own fault.
It cannot be erased with a simple sentence like “I was wrong, I recognized the wrong person and I regret it.”
“Jiao Yi?”
“I’m here, Your Highness.”
“If one day, you have to choose between me and another person, who will you choose?” After speaking, Qin Yu added another condition, “The premise is, the other person is very important to you.”
“There are no ifs.” Jiao Yi said firmly, “Because no one is more important to me than Your Highness, and I will only choose Your Highness, no matter when and where.”
Will you only choose me? A faint smile appeared on Qin Yu’s lips.
**********
On the other side, the first place Lin He went to when he got back to the Immortal Mansion was Ziyun Garden where Mo Lin was. He stayed there for several days and felt that his feelings for Qin Yu had subsided before he dared to leave for the Demon Realm.
When he arrived at Chengming Palace, Lin He got straight to the point as soon as he came up.
“Do you still remember the question I asked you before leaving last time?” He looked up at Qin Yu with a sweet smile, “Do you have an answer now?”
Qin Yu actually took a step back to avoid it. He seemed to be afraid of getting dirty, “Yes.”
“What is it?” Lin He suddenly felt uneasy.
Qin Yu’s eyes were sharp and he said with a strong sense of ridicule, “The answer is that the Immortal Lord is really good at playing tricks.”
What do you mean?
Frightened by Qin Yu’s cold and sharp gaze, Lin He’s heart thumped and he thought, could it be possible that he knows everything?
Thinking of this, panic swept through Lin He’s body, but he immediately regained his composure and stared at Qin Yu blankly, “What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand?” Secretly, he held on to a corner of his robe as he kept comforting himself that it was okay, he must be overthinking and scaring himself. Apart from him, only Qin He knew about that matter, and since Qin He is dead, Qin Yu had absolutely no way of knowing.
Looking at the other party’s calm pretense, Qin Yu sneered. Reversing his attitude of avoidance, he approached Lin He with a sneer, put his thin lips close to his ear and said chillingly, “Let me guess, are you thinking now…”
