Shao Qinhan thought Su Qingyan would be the one to come to his door, but he never expected it would be Shen Yan. But no matter which of these two people came, the result would be the same.
At this point, it was impossible not to talk. Shao Qinhan casually looked up, eyes full of indifference, “Su Family? What does it have to do with me?”
Shen Yan saw him play dumb and looked anxious, “Qingyan has told me that the Su Family is in trouble because of you, and-”
Before he finished speaking, he swallowed the second half of the sentence under Shao Qinhan’s glare, and although he was afraid, he still stood with a pale face, stubbornly refusing to leave.
Shao Qinhan snorted slightly and smilingly asked, “Shouldn’t Su Qingyan himself come to beg me, what does it have to do with you?”
Shao Qinhan had taken action against the Su Family but had not bothered to do so since that time. Now the Su Family’s situation was getting worse day by day, all because of others. The world has always been like this: if you don’t step on it, naturally someone else will.
Strictly speaking, it was useless to beg Shao Qinhan, it was like pushing to nothingness.
Shen Yan’s expression worsened as he heard him, his body trembling as if he had been hit by something. He even forgot about the previous lesson and grabbed Shao Qinhan’s hand in a hurry, “Can’t I beg for him? He’s having a hard time, you shouldn’t go after him anymore…”
Shao Qinhan frowned, but not at Shen Yan’s words, but at the other party’s action of grabbing his hand. He was about to shake it off, but a familiar voice suddenly echoed behind him…
“This matter has nothing to do with him. If there is a problem with the Su Family, maybe there are some enthusiastic people behind it, don’t you think, brother?”
Shao Qinhan’s body stiffened at those words, and he unconsciously looked up. But he saw Shen Liang with his hands in his pockets, standing in the distance with a smile on his face, walking towards them.
Shao Qinhan had the inexplicable feeling of being caught doing something wrong. He reacted like been struck by lightning and shook Shen Yan’s hand off, quickly distancing himself.
But Shen Liang pulled him back, gesturing him to be quiet for now. Thinking about what he said a few days ago, he felt that a prophecy had come true… Of course, it can be said that he had a crow’s mouth.
When Shen Yan saw Shen Liang, it was as if he had seen a savior. He tried his best to ignore the subtle discomfort he felt in his heart and took Shen Liang’s hand, an action that made Shao Qinhan’s eyes tremble.
Shen Yan pleaded, “Ah-Liang, I beg you, can you ask Mr. Shao to stop attacking the Su Family?”
Shen Liang never expected that it was because of this matter, he looked at Shao Qinhan subtly, and replied, “Who told you that Shao Qinhan has something to do with the Su Family? Su Qingyan?”
Shen Yan did not answer, but one could sense that it was so.
Shen Liang believed in Shao Qinhan. Since Shao Qinhan said he would not intervene again, he would not touch the Su Family again. He calmly said to Shen Yan, “This matter has nothing to do with him.”
Shen Yan, “But Qingyan said…”
Shen Liang interrupted him, “Do you believe everything Su Qingyan says? I am your brother, do you believe him or me?”
Shen Yan stammered.
Shen Liang no longer knew whether the plot had deviated or the character had deviated, but in general, everything was already different from the original. The profoundly affectionate nature was no longer affectionate, and the gloomy character was warm.
Shen Liang said in a low voice, “This is a Su Family matter. Think about it: why would Su Qingyan tell you this for no reason? He knows what happened between you and Shao Qinhan, don’t let yourself be used as cannon fodder.”
Shen Liang did not know Su Qingyan, but through big and small things, he could guess a thing or two, and finally said to Shen Yan, “…Brother, I still think Su Qingyan is not suitable for you, he cares about his parents, he cares about what others think… He cares about too many things to give it all up for you.”
“You have good grades. Don’t waste your life on someone who doesn’t deserve it. If you want, to finish college and get a job, it’s better than nothing. This is also the wish of our parents.”
After finishing, he silently looked at Shen Yan, seeing that the other party was stunned and could not come back to his senses, he turned around and pushed Shao Qinhan to move.
Facing Shen Yan, Shen Liang could not get angry, nor did he need to confront him. But probably inside he also sighed vaguely for him for being trapped in such a life. One of the characters in the book, Shao Qinhan, broke out of the established framework, but Shen Yan was trapped inside and could not get out.
The character in the original book is not exactly sympathetic, but not malicious either.
Shen Liang’s arrival not only changed the plot of the world but also had an impact on Shen Yan’s mentality. Just like when the scales are unbalanced, there will always be one side that feels like they are at a disadvantage.
But if they want, they don’t need to push someone who is still virtuous into a dead end.
The streets were always crowded at six o’clock in the evening, with a sea of traffic and a sea of people.
Shao Qinhan followed Shen Liang, looked at his hand holding his, and seeing that he did not speak his heart inevitably hung in the air. He said hesitantly, “I…”
His explanation sounded weak.
“I accidentally bumped into Shen Yan when I was waiting for you…”

Shao Qinhan now finally knew what it was like to have a hundred mouths but not be able to defend himself. But he was startled by Shen Liang, so no matter how he explained it, it would look like an excuse. He opened his lips, but could not utter a single word.
Shen Liang finally stopped teasing him, “It’s okay, I know.”
Shao Qinhan looked at him in a daze, “…Aren’t you angry?”
Shen Liang found it amusing, “Why would I be angry?”
He still understood Shao Qinhan’s character, and it was impossible to tangle with Shen Yan again. Otherwise, it would be dog blood opening the door to dog blood, and dog blood would return.
Shen Liang pulled Shao Qinhan, “Come on, let’s eat.”
“…”
Shao Qinhan was not only not happy to hear these words but developed unjustified anger. He frowned and loosened his tie, trying to ease his discomfort.
He didn’t want to anger Shen Liang, but he wanted him to be angry.
Even if it was just a bit.
A bit would be nice.
The place where they ate was barbecue. The business was booming at night, so it was hard to get a table. Shen Liang remembered that Shao Qinhan had a light taste, so he didn’t order anything too spicy, but eating barbecue always involved drinking.
Shen Liang sat across the table with a bottle of beer in his hand, and shook it, smiling as he asked, “Me or you?”
They always had to leave one sober to drive.
Shao Qinhan shook his head slowly, looking obedient, “You drink.”
He looked at Shen Liang, wondering what he was thinking, after a while, he took the initiative to pour him beer. Shen Liang didn’t think much of it, and the grade of the beer was not high, so he drank it in one gulp.
He had forgotten entirely about his low tolerance for alcohol.
Shao Qinhan, who didn’t know what he was doing in his heart, kept his eyes on Shen Liang’s glass, and as soon as it was empty, he immediately refilled it. Later, he also ordered white wine and mixed it with an unknown number of drinks.
“Wait…”
Shen Liang finally couldn’t drink anymore. He squeezed Shao Qinhan’s hand who insisted on pouring wine for him. He looked at him suspiciously and raised his eyebrows, “If you pour me more, I’ll think you’re up to something.”
Shao Qinhan was startled and had to put down the bottle of wine.
Shen Liang got up and went to the bathroom, by the time he returned, the alcohol had taken effect. His feet had already started to drift. He banged his head, somewhat regretful that he had drunk so much, mixing alcohol was the easiest way to get drunk.
After Shao Qinhan paid, he stood up and helped him, “Let’s go back.”
Shen Liang remembered past events again, and before he could do something beastly later, he could only take advantage of the fact that he was still sober to urge Shao Qinhan, “Later, just… throw me straight into the back seat of the car, okay?”
He was quite drunk, so his words were unclear.
Shao Qinhan nodded vaguely. He helped Shen Liang walk to where the car was but sat him in the passenger seat.
Shen Liang grabbed his hand, his vision blurred, he vaguely sensed something was wrong and asked as if to confirm, “Is this the back seat?”
Shao Qinhan leaned closer to him and whispered, “Yes.”
Then he took off his jacket and put it on Shen Liang, then sat in the driver’s seat and started driving.
People want to sleep when they are drunk, and Shen Liang was no exception. He slumped into the seat and leaned against the window, muttering something under his breath, but it was all incomprehensible nonsense.
Shao Qinhan looked intently at the road and rolled down the window a bit. The night breeze ruffled his hair, hiding the expression in his eyes. He rubbed his fingertips on the steering wheel, thinking of something. After a while, he whispered, “Shen Liang…”
Shen Liang still reacted to his name and reluctantly raised his head, “Mm?”
Shao Qinhan muttered, “Why didn’t you get angry when Shen Yan held my hand?”
Why… didn’t you get angry?
Was it because you have a good temper or don’t care…?
Streetlights spilled over the roof of the car, highlighting warm circles of yellow light. The car whistled as it passed over the bridge, the skyscrapers disappearing, leaving the distant, endless night behind.
Hearing the question, Shen Liang adjusted his position, suddenly frowning and tapping on the window, looking very depressed. He closed his eyes and unexpectedly blurted out, “Angry.”
Shao Qinhan curved his lips in self-deprecation, “I knew you-”
Suddenly realizing something, he unconsciously looked at Shen Liang in surprise.
“What did you say?”
From the alcohol, Shen Liang acted erratically, throwing the jacket covering him to his feet. Scratching his head in annoyance, “I’m angry!”
The truth was, he was really angry…
When Shen Liang stopped on the street today, and saw Shen Yan stopping Shao Qinhan, no one knew how he felt in his heart. It was as if he had been hit on the head until sparks flew out of his eyes, and he had been poured a pitcher of cold water, chilling his heart.
In this world, the one who feared fate the most was none other than Shen Liang.
He was too familiar with the plot and power of the heavens, so no one knew how much he feared that Shao Qinhan would follow the established path, how much he feared that the other party would be entangled with Shen Yan again.
He stood on the busy sidewalk, panicking for a few seconds, but it felt as if it was as long as centuries had passed. There was no way anyone could deny that moment of panic.
But when you’re sober, you can’t reveal it, and only when you’re drunk do you accidentally reveal your heart.
It was good if Shao Qinhan didn’t ask, but once he did, Shen Liang remembered what had happened today, and the result was that the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He sat up abruptly, frowned, and glared at Shao Qinhan, “You can’t see Shen Yan anymore in the future!”
He didn’t look like he was drunk but rather pretended to be confused by alcohol.
Shao Qinhan was startled and reacted, realizing that Shen Liang might be conscious, “Yes, I won’t see-”
Shen Liang, “Neither talk!”
Shao Qinhan slowly relaxed and smiled, “Alright, we won’t talk.”
Shen Liang remarked, “Not even a single word!”
The smile in Shao Qinhan’s eyes deepened as he nodded, “En, not even a single word.”
Shen Liang finally seemed satisfied, frowned, and thought about it, finding nothing to add. Closing his eyes, he dropped into the seat and fell asleep.
As he drove, Shao Qinhan couldn’t help but look at Shen Liang, and the suffocating frustration he held in his heart a moment ago disappeared without a trace, leaving a sense of satisfaction.
He couldn’t help but curl his lips. Seeing the low temperature of the night, he picked up his jacket with his free hand and tried to cover Shen Liang with it, but the person who had fallen into a deep sleep suddenly sat up startling Shao Qinhan, and his hand trembled.
“Also!”
Shen Liang seemed to remember something very important. He slowly looked at Shao Qinhan, frowned, and said, “You can’t like Shen Yan!”
Shao Qinhan thought he would say something else, but it turned out to be this. He slowly let out a sigh of relief and calmed his fluttering heart. He said as earnestly as possible, “I don’t like him, I like you.”
Shen Liang seemed not to understand what he said, blinking uncomprehendingly, and only after a long while did he react, grinning like a fool, “Really?”
Shao Qinhan couldn’t help but smile, he nodded slightly, “En.”
Shen Liang finally closed his eyes at ease and dropped into the seat to go back to sleep. He didn’t need Shao Qinhan to cover him with the jacket, he groped with his eyes closed in search of it.
Shao Qinhan stepped on the gas pedal, he wanted to get home quickly.
The beep of the System rang in the silent car.
[Ding! The villain’s blackening level dropped to 3%]
Shen Liang didn’t hear it, his whole body was drifting, and he didn’t even know how he got home. He only felt that he was helped up the stairs in a daze and laid down on the bed.
He didn’t know who was helping him and struggled to open his eyes to focus, only to discover it was Shao Qinhan. He couldn’t control his instincts and pinned the other man beneath him, his hot, wet kisses falling on his neck.
The white skin with a red spot was very interesting.
Shao Qinhan did not resist, his arms slowly wrapped around Shen Liang’s neck, reciprocating the kiss. But in the end, he couldn’t help himself, and asked quietly, “Shen Liang…”
“…Who do you like?”
After Shao Qinhan finished saying this, he closed his eyes against Shen Liang’s neck, nervously waiting for his reply, and even his heartbeat slowed down.
Shen Liang’s brain was sluggish, repeating to himself, “Who do I like?”
He seemed to be half-reacting to what was happening, and his expression became clear, before continuing to kiss Shao Qinhan. He thought the shirt was difficult to unbutton, so he tugged with a little force, scattering the buttons around.
Not getting a response from him, Shao Qinhan was somewhat dissatisfied, frowning slightly as he stopped Shen Liang’s movements, staring at him in the misty darkness, “Shen Liang, who do you like?”
“Ah, Shao Qinhan.”
Shen Liang said this name without hesitation, let out a laugh, and lowered his head to kiss Shao Qinhan’s face, then murmured, “I like Shao Qinhan.”
Villain or not.
Crazy or normal.
I just like Shao Qinhan.
I like that he’s so obviously covered in thorns, but he’s willing to hold back for the sake of the one he loves. It’s a feeling no one else can have, fiery but pure, crazy but heartbreaking.
In the original plot, Shen Yan didn’t know how to appreciate it, but now, finally, someone is willing to receive all of Shao Qinhan’s love.
“…”
Shao Qinhan lay under Shen Liang’s body, and his body stiffened in response, holding that position for a long time without moving before slowly relaxing. He closed his eyes, but suddenly let out a hoarse laugh. His eyes instantly reddened.
He touched Shen Liang’s cheek in the darkness and moved his lips, wanting to say something, but his throat was so stuffy that he couldn’t say anything. The tears rolled down silently and disappeared without a trace.
Shen Liang seemed to notice this and kissed his eyes drunkenly, consoling softly, “Don’t cry…”
Shao Qinhan looked at him with red eyes, “Shen Liang …”
“I no longer have resentment towards this world ….”
There might have been before, but now, there isn’t …
He once thought he had nothing, but it turned out that God was still willing to leave him something so that his life would not be a failure.
Shao Qinhan’s eyes were red as he hugged Shen Liang tightly. At that moment, he felt that all the pain and suffering of the past were insignificant.
Seeing this, System slowly appeared in the darkness. He had probably never seen a villain successfully rescued before, so he announced hesitantly.
[Ding! Host, the villain’s blackening level has dropped to…]
[The villain’s blackening has been successfully restored to 0…]
[Congratulations…]
System slowly uttered…
[Mission complete…]
