Chapter 123 Who else can this world trust? (1/2)
”There are many things that cannot be accomplished by effort. A person's talent is very important. ” The corner of He Yi Ning's mouth curved, as he reached out to pinch Shen Qi's cheeks: ”For example, someone like you, whose brain is too ridiculous, is also sick, you have to be treated!”
Shen Qi reached out and slapped He Yi Ning's hand away, staring fixedly at him: ”I don't have that!”
”Then tell me, what did Feng Man Lun tell you?” The corner of He Yi Ning's eyes twitched, and the meaning in his eyes became clear.
Shen Qi choked for a bit, then said: ”That day, when Jinghua Manor first opened the party to make me public, he came to find me.”
”Oh?” A trace of killing intent flashed past He Yi Ning's eyes.
”He told me that you have always had a woman you liked in your heart and that you have always been looking for her. In order to find her, you have been looking for many substitutes. I was one of them. ” Shen Qi's mood was still slightly downcast, ”You dare to say that, the reason you accept me, isn't it because I coincidentally also have a birthmark?”
He Yi Ning was so angry that he almost laughed.
Because a birthmark likes a woman?
He wasn't that retarded!
”He also said that you are very attached to your feelings and that once you fall in love with someone, you can't easily change them. So, I'm just a... a shield that protects you from external pressure. ” After Shen Qi finished this sentence, she looked at He Yi Ning confidently and confidently, ”I don't think he was wrong!”
He Yi Ning sighed softly, ”Feng Man Lun is so powerful! His words were always true and false, true and false. It was impossible to tell which one was the real one and which was the real one. If I didn't guess wrongly, his words weren't that clear, but they were filled with guidance. Those words were actually what you had imagined. If you want to confront him, he can just turn his back on you and not admit that he said that. ”
Shen Qi seriously thought about his two conversations with Feng Man Lun, and it seemed to be true.
Every time he spoke, he would act like he was talking about the heavens, as though everything he said was his own business, but the words he spoke did not come out of He Yi Ning's mouth.
Shen Qi's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Could she have been used by Feng Man Lun?
”She really is a silly girl!” He Yi Ning looked at Shen Qi speechlessly and said, ”Feng Man Lun is right, I have indeed been looking for someone the entire time. But I didn't find a substitute, not one. Because I'm not that free. ”
Hearing He Yi Ning's words, Shen Qi was a little happy but also a little unhappy.
”When I was a child, I owed a promise. But at that time, I was only eight years old. ” He Yi Ning smiled lightly and said: ”I am someone who keeps his promises, it is that simple. Moreover, Lin Xi took the initiative to deliver herself to my doorstep, saying that she was the person I was looking for. Do you think I would easily believe what she said? ”
”But you didn't chase her away!” Shen Qi retorted, unconvinced.
”That's because it's more convenient to stay around and investigate.” He Yi Ning chuckled, ”Are you jealous?”
”Nope.” Shen Qi denied it immediately.
”You still say that?” He Yi Ning suddenly laughed mischievously as he reached out his hand towards Shen Qi, about to grab her itchy flesh.
Shen Qi was so scared that she turned around and tried to escape.
”He Yi Ning, don't change the subject! I still have something to say! ” Shen Qi started to shout out.
”Mm, go ahead.” As expected, He Yi Ning retracted his hand, and looked at Shen Qi with a serious expression.
”In your heart, what exactly am I?” Shen Qi stared fixedly at He Yi Ning: ”If Feng Man Lun is lying, then tell me the truth. If Lin Xi is really the person you're looking for, then what do I count as? ”
This question stunned He Yi Ning.
He admitted that the girl from when he was young and the current Shen Qi were both special to him.
One was white moonlight and the other was red roses.
He Yi Ning was unable to answer this question.
He lowered his eyes and said, ”Of course you're my wife.”
”If I had to choose between her and me, who would you choose?” Shen Qi had also calmed down at this moment.
He Yi Ning did not speak.
”Hard to answer, isn't it?” Shen Qi nodded in disappointment, ”I think I understand.”
”What do you know!” When He Yi Ning saw Shen Qi indulging in her imagination yet again, she replied angrily, ”Don't keep thinking random thoughts!”
Shen Qi stubbornly looked at him and did not say anything.
He Yi Ning sighed, extended his hand and grabbed the top of Shen Qi's head: ”One day, you will understand.”
Shen Qi slightly turned her head, and did not look at He Yi Ning.
Now that his words had reached such a point, there was no need to ask any further.
Who else could this world trust?
One by one, he told himself that he would always be with them, but what of it?
They left one by one, giving up.
Enough.
Shen Qi lowered her head, not allowing He Yi Ning to see the look in her eyes and expression.
When he slept, Shen Qi's back was facing He Yi Ning.
She could not sleep.
She didn't know if she could try to believe He Yi Ning's words.
Yet, she thought that if she had a person that she had thought about for more than ten years, a husband that she would marry on behalf of others …
What would he do?
No wonder He Yi Ning was unable to answer his question, because even if it was placed on his body, he would also not be able to answer it.
Why did he force He Yi Ning to answer a question he couldn't even answer?
He was too selfish.
He Yi Ning was not wrong, it was just him.
Shen Qi noticed that her eyes were filled with tears. She did not want He Yi Ning to see it, so she quietly wiped them away.
She didn't even dare turn her body, or look at He Yi Ning's face.
He had curled up on the side of the bed. In this small world, he had protected the little bit of reason and dignity he had left.
Starting from tomorrow, he would be a qualified wife.
