Chapter 3 (1/2)
Here's chapter 3!
[Chapter 3 - Someone wants to hang themselves in the side yard] It's clearer to see from here!
T/N: Another h.o.m.ophonic wordplay again: When Shen Qian Ling's second brother is introduced is in this chapter, there's a pun about his name being Shen Qian Qian (沈千谦) which sounds weird and that people will get remind of 倩倩(qian qian - beautiful, or a lady with a nice smile) or 芊芊(qian qian - exuberant). I'm leaving it as is and putting the context here for flow. 谦(qian) means humble, modest.
”What are you doing, not resting in your room, but running over here.” Shen Qian Feng smiled and walked over, and reached out to adjust his collar.
”Can't sleep.” Shen Qian Ling fully exerted the acting muscles of a best male lead winner; slightly creased eyebrows and worried eyes, successfully creating a beautiful figure that anyone will feel for.
”You feel being in your room is stuffy?” Shen Qian Feng asked.
”No.” Shen Qian Ling sighed, walking silently and somberly to a gazebo; it has been smooth sailing up till now, but as he was too engrossed in acting, he didn't notice a rock on the ground.
In this kind of situation he must, of course, fall down.
”Ah!” Just traveled through time and falling on his face; this is simply a tragedy he does not want.
”Fu-ren, careful!” At this critical time, a red shadow swept down from the trees, and caught Shen Qian Ling in his embrace.
”What did you call him?” Shen Qian Feng is clearly shocked by his form of address.
”Eventually he will be married to me, addressing him like that early is no big matter.” Qin Shao Yu carried him and stood up, ”I'm bringing him back to his room.”
”How can he even faint in fright from a fall?” Shen Qian Feng tried his pulse, ”Seems like his breathing is also not stable.”
Shen Qian Ling continued to close his eyes tightly, and shouted in his heart, try getting carried by someone, it's normal to not be stable alright.
Furthermore his stomach still has his.....
Death seems like a better option.
After carrying Shen Qian Ling back to his room, Qin Shao Yu placed him on the bed, and got Bao Dou to steep some tea.
Shen Qian Ling continued pretending that he's dead.
”Since he's unconscious, might as well take advantage now?” Qin Shao Yu talked to himself.
”Don't be so mean.” Shen Qian Ling's eyes flew open in exasperation.
He just knows that he can't trick this vixen.
Qin Shao Yu smiled like if he's owed a beating. (1)
Shen Qian Ling pulled over the blanket, covering his head.
”Thinking of finding Qian Feng, so that he can stop me from taking you away?” Qin Shao Yu sat by the bed.
I dare you to even guess more accurately. Shen Qian Ling really wants to pull his collar and hysterically shake him.
”Even if you don't take me into consideration, you should still consider the child in your belly.” Qin Shao Yu sighed, ”But if fu-ren truly can't accept, of course I won't force the issue.”
”Really?” Shen Qian Ling pulled down the blanket, suspicions in his eyes.
”Of course.” Qin Shao Yu's eyes are full of grief, ”Although I really want this child, but I can't bear to force fu-ren.”
”Rest a.s.sured.” Shen Qian Ling sat up in one movement, and excitedly pulled his hand over, ”Young warrior, you are so handsome, in the future you will find a suitable and beautiful woman; how can we take this child out?”
”Don't know.” Qin Shao Yu helped him to tidy his hair, ”But don't you worry, even if the fortunes of Zhui Yin sect are exhausted, I will still help you find a way to abort it.”
”It's that difficult?” Shen Qian Ling frowned, the advertis.e.m.e.nt phrase ”A relaxing three minutes, painless abortion without a trace” (2) flashed past his mind. Although ancient times can't compare to the modern era, but there should still be demands for children to have the same parents? In the movies, wasn't it all solved with a bowl of saffron?
”Of course it's difficult.” Qin Shao Yu lightly rubbed his thigh with his hand, and worried said, ”With this situation, where is the child going to come out from?”
This topic is simply too hardcore.
Shen Qian Ling's mind turned to stone once again.
Previously he was only shocked by the cruel reality of pregnancy, and completely did not consider where he's going to give birth from. But there seems to be only one possibility.....he wants to die.
”Originally after 10 months, Ling-er's body will undergo some changes.” Qin Shao Yu said by his ear, ”The child can be safely given birth to then, but if you want to abort it now, I'm afraid there's danger.”
”Changes?” Shen Qian Ling's voice trembled.
”Yes.” Qin Shao Yu rubbed his nape, ”But there's no need to be scared, after giving birth it will change back, there won't be any differences compared to an average man.”
There's even the changing of s.e.xes?
Shen Qian Ling instantly started crying.
”No matter, I will think of a way.” Qin Shao Yu wiped his tears away, ”Trust your husband.”
”There's really a way to change back?” Shen Qian Ling is incomparably anguished.
”Of course.” Qin Shao Yu helped him to sit up, ”I will immediately get a dove and send a letter back to Zhui Yin sect, and get people to paste notices everywhere.”
”Paste notices everywhere?” Shen Qian Ling stared at him with wide eyes.
”Yes.” Qin Shao Yu said, ”So there's no need to worry, fu-ren, the world is vast; there will be someone who can alleviate fu-ren's suffering.”
”Wait!.” Shen Qian Ling grabbed him, ”How do you intend to write the notice?”
”Just to write that a certain man, because he mistakenly ate the inner core of a fox immortal, is now pregnant; so now he's looking for people with relevant talents to help to abort the pregnancy, if successful, Zhui Yin sect will thank them handsomely!” Qin Shao Yu said.
A certain man? Shen Qian Ling worried, ”Will outsiders guess that it's me?”
Qin Shao Yu frowned, ”I'm afraid so.”
”Why?” Shen Qian Ling is full of tears, ”There's so many men in the world.” I just casually asked, don't give me such an horrifying answer.
”Although there are many men in the world, but to let Zhui Yin sect exhaust its funds, there can only be one.” Qin Shao Yu said so affectionately till he can't bear to look him in the eyes, ”Even a fool can guess who it is.”
”We can think for a while first.” Shen Qian Ling crumpled back on to the bed, in utter despair.
If this matter really gets out, then not only will the Shen family burn him at the stake, but the whole world will also right?
