Ch91 - What kind of situation was this? (1/2)
7.4 – What kind of situation was this?
translator: xiin
editors: alamerysl & BlueBug
It has been a little under half a month since Lou Cen woke up, but because some of his vitals had not yet stabilized, Lieutenant General Lou had stayed in the hospital for further testing and observation. Normally, Lou Cen would cooperate quietly, but he was currently in a terrible mood, to the point where he wanted to beat people up.
The person whose eyes he had seen before falling back to sleep was engraved deep in his mind, and he would see that smile in his dreams every time he fell asleep. When he woke up, he specifically asked about that person’s identity, and learned that that person was ‘Yan Qiwen’.

Although Lieutenant General Lou had been in a coma for half a month, he still remembered his fiance’s name. After learning that person’s identity, he was completely unable to match that person with the cowardly mermaid who hid behind Yan Zhaiyan during his own birthday party.
But the nurse on duty assured him that it was the same merman, and they could not possibly have made a mistake.
So, the depressed Lieutenant General Lou debated with himself for the better half of a day about whether or not he liked that particular fish.
Lou Cen felt very unhappy about Yan Zhiwen. It was because of him that he had no way to refuse the engagement and had chosen to go and take on the secret mission in order to postpone the engagement party. And it was because of this that he had fallen into a coma.
But it was also because of him that his physical and spiritual strength broke through the barrier that had been blocking the way and jumped straight to SSS-class, allowing him to become the first SSS-class breeder in the Empire.
The relationship between them could be called complicated, or it could be considered as simple as a straight line. Only, Lou Cen was still very prejudiced against Yan Qiwen.
For example, he felt that Yan Qiwen was merely a little merchild who had been closed up in the Duke’s Palace from childhood. He was raised in a haven, and was naïve and ignorant, even going so far as to threaten him and the Duke with his own life in order to be with him. Lou Cen found this kind of character very unpleasant. He also felt that he did not want to waste time pleasing a silly little merchild – he was currently already an SSS-class breeder, and after considering the merits of his previous mission, as long as he left the hospital, he would immediately be promoted to the rank of General. After that, his goal was to become a Marshal. To fall in love with and raise a merperson now would seriously drag him down.

Although he had an abundance of reasons, enough to allow Lou Cen to throw that moment of goodwill deep into the depths of space, as long as he closed his eyes, he would be able to see that pair of eyes and that simple and quiet smile, to the point where his heart could not help but throb, could not help but speed up and beat faster.
Reason eventually lost to the increasing feeling of wanting to see someone but being unable to do so. Lou Cen made up his mind that since the little merchild liked him so much, it was not impossible to get married, and as long as he obediently stayed at home, he could definitely support him for a lifetime.
After thinking things through, Lieutenant General Lou began to wait for the little merchild to come for a visit. After all, the little merchild had been there the day he woke up, so he subconsciously believed that Yan Qingwen still liked him to the point of being unable to extricate himself, and would come to the hospital more often because he was worried about him.
Heaven knows that Xue Ling had merely calculated the time just right, and only showed up to build up some goodwill before making a bet with the system about how long it would take before the man came to him on his own initiative. Because the man was over half a month late, Xue Ling had lost the bet, and was now angry with the man, deciding to string him along for a year or two.
In any case, they had already cancelled the engagement, and based on the current relationship between the two, they had no reason to contact each other. Xue Ling was very certain that the man’s love for him had already reached the point where he would fall in love with him at first sight, so he had no qualms running off to gain favour with Yan Qingjun and attempt to bring him to the Duke’s Palace before Madame Lou introduced him to Lou Cen.

Because neither side decided to take the next step, Lieutenant General Lou waited, and then waited some more, but that little merman never showed up. Suddenly, it time for him to be discharged from hospital. This was a good thing, but Lieutenant General Lou felt depressed and unhappy, and his heart was full of restlessness.
Even if he had not come for a visit, he should come for a big event such as his release from the hospital, right?
But he still didn’t see the little merman.
As he quietly clenched his fists, Lou Cen decided to postpone their engagement. Since the little merman was not in a hurry to marry him, then he also would not be anxious if their engagement was postponed until later, right?
With that in mind, Lieutenant General Lou was in a slightly better mood and did not think at all to ask his mother about the situation regarding his engagement.
Xue Ling knew that the man had been discharged from the hospital today, but he was really in a bad mood, and therefore was too lazy to bother going to see him. He was so listless during class that Yan Qingjun even became worried seeing him like this.
“Why are you so spiritless today?” By now, Yan Qingjun already treated Xue Ling as an adorable younger brother. After all, his personality and appearance were particularly pleasant. He was a little concerned after seeing him weakly lying on the desk.
“Am I?” Xue Ling glanced lazily at Yan Qingjun and tilted his head in that direction as he spoke in a wronged tone, “Junjun, I’m so sad…” He dragged the last word, and that tiny nasal sound at the end made Yan Qingjun’s heart turn so soft it almost became a pool of water.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been looking unhappy these past few days. Is it because of that sweetheart you mentioned before?”

“Yeah.” Xue Ling’s head rubbed against Yan Qingjun’s hand. After building up his character during this period of time, he felt no pressure acting cute like this. As long as he hypnotized himself to believe ‘I am the cutest’ several times a day, he would surely become even more cute! “He woke up when I went to visit him half a month ago.”
“And then?”
“Wuwuwu.” Xue Ling directly wrapped his arms around Yan Qingjun, looking incomparably aggrieved. “He never came to find me after that day! There hasn’t even been the most basic level of communication between us! He didn’t even ask me why I broke off our engagement! Am I particularly unlikable? … Could it be that breaking off an engagement with me made him extra happy…”
Yan Qingjun’s heart was almost dying from pain. He had already scolded this lovely child’s sweetheart several times in his heart. Which scum could treat such a cute merman this way? It was already bad enough that he didn’t pursue and praise him. Not even asking a single thing about the cancelled engagement was like treating the little merman as though he was something completely unnecessary! He was truly a scum!
He rubbed Xue Ling’s head and comforted him by saying, “No, Wenwen is so cute, clearly everyone will like you.”
“I heard them say,” Xue Ling’s eyes were red as he looked at Yan Qingjun. “That people only praise others for being cute when they don’t know what else to say that’s good about a person.”
Yan Qingjun: “…” After such an enigmatic silence, Yan Qingjun patted Xue Ling on the shoulder and once again opened his mouth to comfort him. “Wenwen is good everywhere, and is particularly excellent at everything. Definitely can’t only be praised for being cute and nothing else.”
