“Well, the waitress at the bar Qi Liuhai, the one with the bangs and halter dress, I’ve asked her for her number several times, but she won’t give it to me…”
Han Shaobai was enthusiastically introducing his goddess to Shen Liang, however, he was stopped before he could finish his words.
Shen Liang squeezed his hand, his head full of question marks, “Woman?”
Han Shaobai liked Shen Yan in the novel, shouldn’t he be gay?
Han Shaobai looked confused, “Hey, don’t think everyone is like you.”
Shen Liang faintly felt that he seemed to have inadvertently broken another setting. But how could that be? It was written in the novel that Han Shaobai liked Shen Yan, so how could he not like him?
“Look closer.” Shen Liang forced Han Shaobai’s head towards Shen Yan, “Stare at him, don’t you feel a heartbeat when you look at him?”
Han Shaobai accidentally retched, “Bff-”
Seeing this, Shen Liang thought he was about to vomit and immediately stepped back three meters, looking at Han Shaobai with a wary expression.
Han Shaobai patted his chest to smooth his breathing, “Brother, I like beautiful women, the kind with big breasts and butts, why are you making me look at a man!”
No way…
Shen Liang was a little suspicious of life and sat down again, “You don’t feel anything?”
Han Shaobai’s face was expressionless, saying no.
Shen Liang remembered that he almost vomited, so it must be true that he doesn’t. Sitting down, he thought for a while but found no reason.
In his heart, Han Shaobai had already accepted the subtle relationship between Shen Liang and Shao Qinhan, and he looked around, “My brother didn’t come?”
The mention of Shao Qinhan made Shen Liang pause, he had always wanted to know what the other’s childhood shadow was, but could not find the information. Looking at it now, isn’t Han Shaobai a walking answer?
“You…” Shen Liang spoke deliberately, “Do you know how Shao Qinhan’s parents died?”
Han Shaobai’s expression suddenly became strange, “You mean my aunt and …. uncle?”
When he said the last word, his tongue seemed to have a thorn stuck in it, vague and untouchable.
Shen Liang sniffed sharply at something unusual, “What’s wrong?”
Han Shaobai took a sip of wine silently, then looked at Shen Liang, “Since you ask me, that means my brother didn’t tell you, and if my brother didn’t tell you, it means he doesn’t want to talk about it, so don’t ask anymore.”
This matter was not honorable to mention when it came to a family like theirs.
Hearing this, Shen Liang felt more and more that something was going on here, he stroked his chin with his fingertips as he thought about it, and finally pointed to the beauty, “Tell me about it and I’ll get you her number.”
Han Shaobai, “I won’t betray my brother for a beauty.”
Shen Liang thought, you have sold him out many times in the original plot, it is obvious that you have no willpower, and would rather die than give up on something, “Let me remind you that the first blow hurts, and in the second you suffer, if you delay for a day, she may no longer be free.”

This is true, beautiful women are always in demand.

Vtfc Oljcu gfaegcfv jcv rja yjmx vbkc, atfc rtbbx tlr qtbcf, “Ktf cewyfg lr lcrlvf.”
Han Shaobai hissed in bewilderment, “How did you get it?”
He has been watching that beauty for several days and none of the men who went to ask her for her number had been successful.
Shen Liang calmly spread his hands, “Oh, I told her that I had lost my phone, so I borrowed hers to make a call. She was kind enough to lend it to me.”
Han Shaobai died.
“Okay, but you can’t say I said it. But I’m not too sure about it, I only know a general idea.”
Amidst the deafening music in the bar, Han Shaobai recalled the old events of more than 20 years ago. Probably feeling sad himself, he lit a cigarette, and after a long while, he blurted out a shocking sentence, “My uncle killed my aunt.”
This sentence was equivalent to Shao Qinhan’s father killing his mother.
Shen Liang frowned slightly when he heard it, but did not interrupt him, signaling him to continue.
Han Shaobai smiled, “You are quite calm, no questions?”
Shen Liang, “So, his father hated his mother very much?”
Unexpectedly, Han Shaobai denied, “It’s not hatred, it’s too much love.”
“The Han and Shao Families were united by marriage at that time, and after my aunt married, she gave birth to my brother after two years. But then she fell in love with a painter and was about to elope with that man, but was caught by my uncle.”
Han Shaobai looked at Shen Liang, “My uncle was a person… how to say, his personality was very similar to my brother, he loved my aunt very much.”
Shen Liang understood in seconds.
Han Shaobai, “But my aunt had a simple personality. She liked to read and draw. She was calm and quiet. She was completely different from him. She didn’t love my uncle. After he caught her, she wanted to run away.”
Shen Liang, “So he killed her?”
At his words, the air fell into silence.
Han Shaobai then said after a while, “…I think so, it was two days before they were found. At that time there was no one else inside that room except my brother and the whole floor was covered with blood.”
After a police investigation, it was finally ruled that the man had committed suicide.
Shen Liang raised his eyes and finally reacted, “Shao Qianhan was also there?”
Han Shaobai nodded and held out his hand to compare a number, “He was seven years old then, and he was in that room for two days with his parents.”
“The door wasn’t locked, but he didn’t want to go out by himself.” Concluded Han Shaobai.
“…”
Shen Liang walked out of the bar, the noise behind him faded and the wind blew in his ears. He hadn’t expected that the childhood shadows he had written on a whim in the first place had been turned by the world into that.
Just a couple of chapters.
They say that those who write are cruel, but it turns out that the world is even crueler than words written on white paper. A ridiculous human being was made to be full of devastation, a life of complete tragedy, only to be destroyed in the end.
Shen Liang put his jacket over his shoulders and slowly walked down the steps when the horn of a car sounded not far away. Subconsciously, he looked up and saw the rear window slowly roll down, revealing part of Shao Qinhan’s face.
“Get in.”
Only then did Shen Liang remember that he had sent Shao Qinhan to the location before coming to the bar and that they had arranged to go home together. He opened the door and sat down, the space suddenly became cramped, blocking out the chill of the night, “Didn’t you say you had a meeting?”
Shao Qinhan raised his hand and loosened his tie, “I finished early.”
He had some impression of this bar, vaguely remembering that it seemed to be the place where Shen Yan worked part-time, and looked at Shen Liang, “What are you doing here?”
Shen Liang, “Nothing, the drinks here are good.”
Shao Qinhan didn’t ask any more questions, he leaned back with his eyes closed to rest. Since Shen Liang said he couldn’t take any more pills, Shao Qinhan stopped taking them.
Maybe he knew in his heart that he shouldn’t touch those things, but other than the pills, he couldn’t find anything to relieve him for a while.
Shen Liang looked at his watch and said to Shao Qinhan, “Are you free tomorrow? Let’s have an appointment.”
During this time, he taught Shao Qinhan how to control his emotions, how to care about others, and how to remember others’ preferences. All of which had begun to be fruitful, only one date was missing.
Shen Liang, “The month is almost over, use the method I taught you to pursue Shen Yan. If you don’t succeed, I lose the bet.”
Of course, he still does not agree with Shao Qinhan’s method.
The end of the bet would also mean the end of their ridiculous relationship.
When Shao Qinhan heard him, he opened his eyes silently in the darkness. For some reason, his breathing stagnated for a moment, “I said you can’t win.”
Shen Liang followed with a fox-like face, “Don’t talk too much, you won’t know until you try.”
The driver parked the car, Shen Liang opened the door and got out, dragging Shao Qinhan with him. This action went from awkward at first to regular, as if they had become accustomed to it.
Nanny Zhang had left dinner ready, but they had already eaten outside, so they went straight upstairs to their rooms.
Shen Liang led Shao Qinhan to the door of his room, then slowly let go of his hand and said as usual, “Good night, get some rest soon.”
When he finished, he felt he had forgotten something, but he couldn’t remember it for a moment. It was all Han Shaobai’s fault, the amount of information he had discovered today was too much.
Shao Qinhan smiled as if he had caught him at something, and gave Shen Liang a sidelong glance, his words carried a slight sarcasm, “So you even forget what you teach yourself.”
When he finished, he slowly raised his hand again and quietly reminded me, “You forgot the goodnight kiss…”
This student was already better than the teacher.
Shen Liang froze for a moment, then reacted and smiled. He looked at Shao Qinhan, wanting to ask something but didn’t, instead, he said, “Remember to dress up for tomorrow’s date.”
After saying this, he hesitated for a second, then leaned over and kissed Shao Qinhan briefly, slowly separated from his body, took a few steps back, and turned around to go to his room.
Shao Qinhan stared at Shen Liang’s back, somewhat lost in thought. He stood silently in the same place for a while before slowly holding the cold doorknob of the door of his room, turning and pushing it.
Both of them were a little strange today.
After Shen Liang returned to his room, he lay on his bed, but he couldn’t sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. He broke the rules, and discussed the existence of this world with System for the first time, “You say… the people in this world are all real?”
System’s shining, glittering body acted as the lighting in the night: [They have body heat, emotions, and thoughts, do you think they’re fake?]
Shen Liang, “But it’s just a novel I wrote.”
System didn’t care: [So what? Maybe you’re also in a novel written by someone else]
Shen Liang didn’t seem to believe it, closed his eyes, and grimaced, “Oh yeah? Then the person who wrote me must be very boring.”
He grew up with lousy grades, his parents died early, and he grew up to be an ordinary dog-blood author, his life wasn’t great at all, it was boring.
[Don’t overthink it.] Said System.
[Being alive is the most important thing.]
[You’re already better than many people just by being alive.]
Shen Liang smiled and opened his eyes silently in the darkness, thinking to himself that living didn’t necessarily mean being better, just like Shao Qinhan, who had been suffering all his life. He didn’t know what came to his mind and suddenly asked System, “What is Shao Qinhan’s blackening level now?”
System replied: [49%]
Shen Liang couldn’t help but sigh, thinking it was impossible to give up, “Forget it, I’ll do it little by little.”
But System said: [You’d better hurry, the mission has a time limit.]
What the fuck?
Shen Liang’s eyelids jumped and he looked up in disbelief, “Why is there a time limit, when did you say that?”
System knew at first glance that Shen Liang must not have read the Host manual properly: [We can’t bind the Host for life, the mission has a time limit.]
And he added: [You still have two months.]
Neither too much nor too little.
Shen Liang said nothing and silently raised his middle finger toward System.
Fuck your mother!
