In Shen Liang’s limited memory, he had never seen a smile that was not a grimace, a sneer, or a chuckle on Shao Qinhan’s gloomy face.
However, he didn’t know if the moonlight was too soft today, but as he stared, he saw a faint arc appear on the other party’s lips, which was fleeting.
“Well…” Shen Liang was a little dazed and nodded, “It’s good that you are happy.”
The goal of people was to be happy.
Shao Qinhan leaned towards Shen Liang again, the movement was particularly evident in the night. After a long silence, he tentatively asked, “Do you think… I should continue chasing after Shen Yan?”
He looked serious as he said this, looking at Shen Liang motionless as if he cared about his answer.
“Yes, why not?”
Shen Liang remembered that in the novel, Shao Qinhan couldn’t get Shen Yan, so he blackened and went mad. He patted his chest and made a promise, “Isn’t it just a Su Qingyan? I will help you.”
When Shao Qinhan heard his words, he let out a sigh and frowned, feeling a little disappointed.
Hearing no reply, Shen Liang merely assumed that Shao Qinhan had fallen asleep. He silently covered himself with the sheet and also closed his eyes preparing to sleep.
However, before he could fall asleep, he heard Shao Qinhan say again, “Shen Liang, can you teach me something else?”
Shen Liang opened his eyes at that, thinking about what he wanted him to teach. Teach him how to be a writer? He was the best at writing dog blood, but Shao Qinhan didn’t seem like someone interested in that, “What do you want to learn?”
“After watching a movie…” Shao Qinhan said, “… after watching a movie, what should I do next?”
Shen Liang fell into contemplation, “…”
Under normal circumstances, it seems that couples… kiss and hug, and play at home? He couldn’t teach Shao Qinhan this. Besides, he and Shen Yan never got to that point.
“Oh.” Shen Liang clasped his hands together, “Normally, couples go back to their own homes after watching a movie.”
Shao Qinhan always felt that Shen Liang was fooling him, “Is that so… ?”
Shen Liang, “Yes, now go to sleep.”
After such a pounding, he was too lazy to change rooms and fell asleep next to Shao Qinhan. But he did not notice the body silently approaching him in the dim darkness after falling asleep.
Since Su Qingyan took Shen Yan away that night, he has never appeared again. Shen Liang waited patiently for two days and finally could not wait any longer, and urged Shao Qinhan to call and inquire about the situation.
Shao Qinhan was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his knees, his fingers tapping on the keyboard quickly, he didn’t even raise his head, “I’m busy, you call.”
Shen Liang had never seen such an inactive person as Shao Qinhan, “You are the one after him, not me.”
Shao Qinhan stopped his movements and looked at Shen Liang with inexplicable meaning, “You were the one who said to do it.”
Shen Liang froze, “What?”
Shao Qinhan looked away, “Nothing.”
He closed the laptop and put it aside, then took out his cell phone and made a call in front of Shen Liang. After three seconds, he switched it off, “He is not answering.”
Shen Liang, “…”
Oh, I’ve learned a lot. It turns out that you can still call like this, and hang up after three seconds.

Shen Liang walked in front of Shao Qinhan puzzled, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll have an accident?”

Shao Qinhan didn’t know what dog blood meant, but he could probably guess that it wasn’t a good word. With a flick of his wrist, he put the cell phone back in place, “I was listening to you.”
If it was in the past, Shen Liang could still deduce Shen Yan’s status, but not now. Because of this butterfly effect of his, the plot was like a wild horse that had gone astray and collapsed to the point where even its mother couldn’t recognize it…
Just as the atmosphere in the living room was falling into a delicate state, Shao Qinhan’s cell phone suddenly rang twice, and Shen Yan appeared on the caller ID.
Shen Liang’s eyes lit up and he repeatedly urged, “Answer it, answer it!”
Shao Qinhan looked at him, slowly pressed the button, and answered, “Hello?”
From the other end came Shen Yan’s apologetic voice, “Mr. Shao, I’m sorry, something happened the other day so I’ve been away for the past two days to fix it. I have worried you.”
Shao Qinhan didn’t seem worried at all, “Hmm.”
Shen Liang, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but be curious and squeezed next to Shao Qinhan and leaned his ear to listen to what Shen Yan had to say.
Shen Yan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Mr. Shao, I’m in a hotel now, can you come and pick me up?”
Shao Qinhan looked up slightly, “My leg is injured.”
It sounded ridiculous, but it was true.
Shen Yan was surprised for a moment, then reacted to the fact that Shao Qinhan’s leg seemed to be injured, “Sorry, it’s all my fault. Is your injury okay, Mr. Shao, is it serious?”
Shen Liang secretly nudged Shao Qinhan, prompting him to nod and say that it was serious, using the pity trick.
Shao Qinhan ignored him, pretending not to see it, “It’s not serious, I just can’t drive.”
Shen Yan expressed his understanding, “Never mind, I’ll take a cab.”
Shao Qinhan looked at the screen of his cell phone, thinking why to call him if he could take a cab. He curved his lips coldly and hung up. Once he looked up, he saw Shen Liang glaring at him, “…”
The air became stagnant.
Shao Qinhan slightly tilted his head and looked straight at Shen Liang, “What are you looking at?”
Shen Liang, “I think you’re a little strange.”
Shao Qinhan smiled, “I’ve already said it all, I don’t chase.”
He didn’t need to say it. Shen Liang knew that people in general can’t do this kind of thing, “When my brother comes back, you will live together. We can look for opportunities then.”
Shao Qinhan was now sensitive to certain words, “It is living in different rooms, not together.”
Also…
“Didn’t you say your brother is self-sufficient, why can’t he rent an apartment on his own now that he is in college?”
When Shao Qinhan said this, a familiar smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Liang inexplicably felt that this sentence was a little familiar as if he had said it to Shao Qinhan on his way to the bar before.
“You let him live here, not me.”
In the original plot, Shen Yan had nowhere to stay in City A because his family was poor, and although he could live in the campus dormitories, the campus was closed every winter and summer. Shao Qinhan, as a sponsor, let Shen Yan stay in his house for ‘unspeakable’ intentions.
Well, hidden.
When Shen Liang thought of this, he suddenly thought of himself and reacted slowly, raising his eyebrows, “Are you incriminating me too?”
The original had dropped out of high school and was a slacker. When he heard that Shen Yan had gotten a big sponsor in the city, he came all the way here to join him. He didn’t even have a job. He lived and ate for nothing, he was even worse than Shen Yan.
Shao Qinhan choked, “When did I accuse you?”
His scolding was obvious and specific.
Shen Liang snorted.
Shao Qinhan got a lump in his throat, he had never seen Shen Liang so bitter before. He pursed his lips, averted his gaze, and said, “…forget what I said.”
As if he was giving in.
Shen Liang leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and when he heard him, he slightly raised his head and saw Shao Qinhan sitting silently. His fingertips twitched slightly and he couldn’t help but reach up to the top of his head, wanting to rub it. But for some reason, when he was about to touch it, he withdrew it slowly.
Shen Liang had always been clear that he could not pour too much emotion into the characters, otherwise, it would affect his judgment. He straightened up, inexplicably embarrassed, and simply said an excuse to go upstairs, “I’m going to take a nap.”
Shao Qinhan frowned, “But you just woke up less than two hours ago.”
Shen Liang, “…”
Shen Liang could only pretend he hadn’t heard and hurried upstairs. He had discovered that he and Shao Qinhan were completely two extremes, one could not get enough sleep and the other could not sleep at all.
In the afternoon, Shen Yan returned. His hands were empty, he had brought no luggage. And who knows what had happened to him in the past two days, he looked more haggard than before and looked worried.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Shao Qinhan sitting alone on the sofa, with a pile of medicines on the table. And the gauze on his leg was half undone, looking as if he was changing it.
Seeing this, Shen Yan rushed forward, bent down, and squatted in front of him, saying with a worried face, “Mr. Shao, let me help you.”
Shao Qinhan was thinking about something right now and was a bit distracted, so he didn’t even notice when Shen Yan came back. Hearing his voice, he raised his head, saw that it was him, and wrapped the half-rolled gauze again.
“No, I’m done.”
He lowered his pant leg and avoided Shen Yan’s hand, looking aloof and indifferent.
Shen Yan only thought that he was playing tough so as not to bother anyone, thus he unconsciously took Shao Qinhan’s hand, “Mr. Shao, it’s okay, just tell me if you need anything…”
Before he finished speaking, the man’s cold, sharp gaze took him by surprise, and his voice faded away. He felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him on a winter’s day, freezing him to the bone.
Shao Qinhan said expressionlessly, “Let go.”
Shen Yan’s brain went blank, forgetting to react for a moment.
Shao Qinhan’s eyes were dark and gloomy as he looked at Shen Yan, and his deliberately low voice, like a venomous snake engulfing its prey, was with silent danger, “I said let go.”
Shen Yan stiffened and released his hand slowly. He had never seen that expression on Shao Qinhan’s face before, it was gloomy. His legs weakened and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Shao Qinhan laughed lowly and looked at him with disdain.
“Brother, you’re back.”
Just at that moment, a curious voice suddenly sounded above their heads, breaking the stony silence. Shao Qinhan looked up and saw that Shen Liang was leaning over the railing and looking down.
“Well, he just came back.”
Shao Qinhan instantly restrained the aura in his body and calmed down again. He picked up the medicines on the table and looked at Shen Yan, but saw that he still hadn’t come back to his senses and got up from the sofa.
A shadow fell and climbed up Shen Yan’s calf on the way. When he saw Shao Qinhan get up, he unconsciously staggered up from the floor and backed up two steps, instinctively avoiding him.
Shao Qinhan did not pay much attention to him and walked past Shen Yan without even looking at him. He leaned against the railing and climbed the stairs. Although his right leg was injured, his walk was still steady.
Shen Liang did not notice Shen Yan’s abnormality because of the angle from above. Seeing that Shao Qinhan was having difficulty climbing, he unconsciously went down the steps and held out his hand to him.
Seeing this, Shao Qinhan curved his lips gently. He handed the medicines to Shen Liang with a harmless expression and asked earnestly, “Can you help me change the medication later?”
Shen Liang looked down, seeing that Shen Yan didn’t notice anything, he lowered his voice and said next to Shao Qinhan’s ear, “My brother happens to be downstairs, why don’t I ask him to come up to help you? You can also ask if he has broke up.”
“…”
Shao Qinhan was already used to him talking nonsense. He pushed open the door to his room and slowly settled on the sofa, “No need to ask, he’s not coming up.”
Shen Liang opened the medicine bag and looked at the instructions, “How do you know if you don’t ask?”
Shao Qinhan lazily leaned his head, and said nonsense with wide eyes, “I asked him, but he doesn’t want to.”
Honestly, he did not expect Shen Yan to avoid Shao Qinhan to such an extent that he was not even willing to change medicines.
“Oh, maybe he is afraid of blood.”
Shen Liang was afraid of provoking Shao Qinhan’s sadness, so he made up a more convincing reason. He bent down to untie the gauze wrapped around Shao Qinhan’s leg and unexpectedly saw the wound with more than ten stitches, he raised an eyebrow, “You can endure such a thing.”
Shao Qinhan said quietly, “Because there is no other way, is there?”
What else could he do but endure.
Shen Liang paused as he silently cleaned the wound.
However, Shao Qinhan seemed to see his thoughts and smiled, “Shen Liang, are you taking pity on me again?”
Shen Liang was about to say no, but Shao Qinhan suddenly leaned close to him. Forehead to forehead, nose to nose, with breaths intertwining. So intimate, it made one feel uncomfortable.
“But I’m not angry…” Shao Qinhan looked at Shen Liang’s clear pupils and said, “I’m not angry that you pity me.”
The author has something to say:
Shao Qinhan: I am super happy!
Shen Liang stop this already huhu😭 come on just realize it
I just hope that one day, Shao Qinhan would receive love and not just pity.
+1000000000000000000000
