Miss, you really caught the wrong fish!

"Well, just go a little lower—"

"Wow~ Wait, Junior Brother Qin Heng... where... where is..."

The blush on Qing Nian's pretty face immediately spread to her ears. She leaned forward subconsciously, and then shyly buried her head in Qin Heng's arms. Her snow-white, slender legs were also trembling slightly...

"Ahhh, I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry, Senior Nianyi!!! I'm really too nervous. I'll go away first."

Qin Daxianyu's brain froze and he hastily loosened his hand. Just as he was about to take a step back, he found that Qingnian's hand around his waist had tightened even more...

"Nian, Nian Yi-senpai?"

Feeling the "great" warmth on his chest and the warm breath coming from his neck, Daxianyu's old face turned as red as a monkey's butt. The hand that had just been holding Qing Nianyi's was now hanging stiffly in the air, at a loss, and the shirt behind him was already wet with cold sweat...

The delicate body in his arms trembled slightly, slowly raised her head, and looked at him with deep eyes.

"No, it's okay, Junior Brother Qin Heng... It's been a long time since I last attended a dance, so it's normal to feel a little unfamiliar."

Qing Nian exhaled the warm fragrance of orchid lightly, and the blush on Qing Shi's pretty face made her look even more gorgeous and charming. The emotions in her eyes were like the rippling autumn water...

Qing Nian slowly stretched out her hand and interlocked her fingers with Qin Heng again, but after a moment she slowly opened her hand again and it fell into his palm.

"Let's... continue."

"Okay, okay"

----

In the grand and magnificent hall, there was a large and exquisite blue palace lantern hanging. The trembling tassels on the lantern matched with the shining floor and the low drooping velvet blue curtains, which was full of confusion and trance...

Under the light, the two of them danced slowly to the caress of the song, their steps gradually became more rhythmic, and they danced forward to the rhythm of the music...

Qing Nianyi raised her eyes slightly, looked at the boy in front of her, felt his presence and the warmth of his fingertips, and a happy smile bloomed from her smile like a peach blossom.

The tenderness in her eyes seemed to be about to overwhelm the person she was in love with.

The feelings in my heart became stronger and deeper, and I constantly longed to be satisfied...

As the dance progressed, Qing Nianyi's arms around the young man tightened again, the tenderness between her brows slowly dissipated, her eyes were filled with spring water, her cherry lips slightly raised.

"Do the three wishes that Junior Brother Qin Heng promised me still count?"

"Of course!"

Qing Nianyi's face and figure were very attractive and full of charm, and at this moment, she was even more so when she was close to him... Her extreme gentleness and beauty seemed to make everyone in the world feel ashamed, and they no longer knew where to look...

"Then...then Junior Brother Qin Heng——"

"Be my brother, okay?"

----------

Dig, dig, dig!!!!

Brothers, I finally got to this chapter, it was not easy, folks, I've been pushing the plot for a long time, and finally it's here, brothers.

Many brothers may not be very clear about Qing Nianyi's character, because she used to play a lot of knives in her previous scenes, and then slowly supplemented Qing Nianyi's character in these extra chapters, but I only wrote 2 extra chapters and my grandfather advised me to stop writing, so there are only 3 extra chapters.

She is a very gentle and kind girl who deserves to be loved by the world, but her parents' departure has hollowed out her heart. From that time on, she has been living according to her parents' expectations of her. She doesn't care about the meaning of life. Her parents' love is her only obsession to survive. The gentleness and smile constructed by her appearance have nothing to do with her heart, and her own love has long been shackled.

Until Qin Heng appeared...

I will slowly fill in the foreshadowing, no rush

42. Tears

"Mom, brother! Brother is there!"

"Hey~ It's only been a few days, it can't go that fast~"

"Uh~ But, but I want a little brother."

"Nianyi, you can't do it just because you want to. When you have a younger brother, it will be very difficult for Nianyi as a big sister~"

"It's okay! Nianyi is not afraid of hard work! I will definitely take good care of my brother!"

"Hey, really? What if my brother and Nian Yi snatch my favorite toy~"

"Then I, then I don't want them anymore. I'll give all the toys to my brother!"

"Wow~ Xiao Nianyi dotes on his brother so much~"

"Uh-huh!"

"Well...my younger brother is a boy. What if he bullies Nianyi when he grows up?"

"Wu——, no, no, my brother won't bully Nianyi... because, because Nianyi is my elder sister, and my brother can't bully my elder sister,,???,,"

"Haha, I didn't expect that our little Nianyi is such a big sister who loves her brother~"

"Dikong? Woo~ Nianyi likes his younger brother~"

"Okay, then Nianyi must be careful when his brother grows up, otherwise...his brother will leave~"

"Gone? No, Nianyi knows the way home and will take his brother with him. His brother won't get lost."

"Okay, okay~"

--------

"...Be my little brother, okay?"

Still familiar with the gentle and ethereal voice, which contains a strong attachment and expectation

Qin Heng froze in his tracks upon hearing this. He even suspected that he had heard it wrongly. The two of them stopped dancing abruptly in the middle of the ballroom. Time seemed to have stopped, and only the classical music was still playing...

Qin Heng was filled with astonishment, and for a long time he opened and closed his mouth but could not utter a single word. He looked at Qing Nian Yi Mu Zi's eyes, which were gradually filled with golden scales, which contained love, happiness, expectation, and a little timidity. These emotions merged together and turned into a thick mass that pounced on him, leaving him at a loss as to how to respond...

Looking at the still silent Qin Heng, Qing Nianyi's eyes full of love also wavered a little at this moment, wisps of mist gathered in her eye sockets, and the hand that was caressing the boy's palm was no longer restrained, but slowly interlocked with the boy's ten fingers, locking them more tightly, as if...

It was as if if she didn't hold the boy tightly, he...he would leave her at any time, disappear in front of her eyes, leaving her alone.

She was still smiling, her tenderness constantly begging for the boy's love.

Although Qing Nianyi tried her best to suppress her trembling lips, her voice still trembled...

"Sister, sister will be good to brother, leaving all the love and all the goodness to brother, only to brother... okay?"

Holding the boy's hand more tightly, she tried her best to show kindness to him, hoping that he would accept her...

The pretty face still had that gentle smile, and her brows were full of tenderness. She had let go of the last bit of shame and integrity of a woman...

Now all she wanted was a gentle response from the boy, even just a slow nod...

But as time went by, the boy's silence gradually eroded Qing Nianyi's heart and spread. Uneasy emotions took over the peak, eroding that "wishful thinking" and unrealistic expectations...

"...Please...don't leave me alone again..."

Two silver threads passed across Qing Nianyi's cheek, leaving a sad arc. She still smiled and looked at the person in front of her.

The gentleness in my heart has already turned into waves

...We finally met each other...Why

Since it's not for myself, why did you let me meet him?

I don’t want to… I really don’t want to be alone anymore… What’s the point of living like this!?

Why do I have to be excellent, why do I have to smile, why do I have to pretend to be calm all the time!!

...Mother, father, please, just this once, just once

Tell me...

Qing Nianyi held the hand of the man in front of her tightly, and buried her head in his shoulder. Her body couldn't stop shaking from the beginning.

...This won't work. Junior Qin Heng has already given her a lot. This short time together has been the happiest and happiest time of her life in the past ten years...It was her own greed that led to her current situation.

I can't cause any more trouble to my junior brother Qin Heng anymore...

Even though I thought so in my heart and kept reminding myself, the pain in my heart could not be stopped at all... I kept resenting myself for being useless.

She could no longer control her tears, and they kept flowing down like beads from a broken string. Her shoulders had lost their strength, and she wanted to speak again to ask the boy to stay, but her mouth was shaking so badly that she couldn't utter a word for a long time...

I can only express my extreme attachment and reluctance to her with my trembling body and increasingly locked hands.

...I know this is wrong...it will only make Qin Heng and his fellow apprentice hate me...but, but letting the boy go

She really can’t do it!!

Qing Nianyi forced herself to calm down, but the dead pain in her heart could not be suppressed at all. She cried, sobbed, and tried to smile, looking at the boy again and making a final struggle.

“Wu…Sister, sister will really treat you well…Don’t abandon sister, okay…Wu——”

!!!!!!

The unclear sobbing sound instantly woke Qin Heng up. He looked at Qing Nianyi crying in disbelief, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad.

Qin Heng quickly reached out his hand to wipe away her tears, and when his hand just touched the woman's white cheek, Qing Nianyi also held him tightly and put his hand on her face.

Even though her tears were still flowing, Qing Nianyi kept smiling when facing the boy. She rubbed the boy's hand, which he stretched out to wipe her tears, and looked at him tenderly. But even so, the drops of jade beads still kept flowing...

This scene hurt Qin Heng's heart

Yes... Putting aside those external things, the Qing Nianyi in front of me is just an ordinary girl in her prime.

She is so gentle and kind, she should be loved by the world...but...why is it me?

He really doesn't understand...

Such a perfect person, a girl who is gentle to the core

...Why would someone like me fall in love with such a big shot at first sight?

This rapidly growing feeling made him lose sight of his direction, so he felt very scared and uneasy, and even wanted to... escape.

He didn't have time to confirm whether this relationship would last... nor did he know whether he would feel sad and lost if he lost this relationship...

Too many unknown things are constantly telling me to stay away from it...

But looking at Qing Nianyi crying in front of him, his heart softened suddenly...

She seemed to really care about me, whether it was at the previous banquet, or the accidental encounter in the corridor... or even dancing together now...

Qing Nianyi gave him the feeling that she was as gentle and considerate as a "sister", and she was also "sincere" to him...

----

Don't worry, brothers. Today is the double update. Lots of monthly tickets and lots of updates.

43. Final Decision

Qin Heng silently wiped the tears of Qing Nianyi in front of him. The hot tears seemed to burn himself, questioning why he wanted to hurt such a gentle girl...

Seeing Qing Nianyi crying in front of him but still rubbing his hand affectionately to convey his kindness, Qin Heng felt very uncomfortable...

Until now, he still didn't know where Qing Nian's closeness and kindness to him came from. Was it like they had known each other for a long time at first sight?

No... maybe there is some inevitable connection between her and me...

When I first learned about Qing Nianyi's life experience, I was surprised but more sympathetic. Although she was in a high position, she had no one around her. People's love and kindness towards her also came from this. It can't be said to be "false", but it is definitely not honest...

When he was a child, he had lost his most beloved person. His father’s departure was still a lingering shadow in his mind. Although his mother loved him very much, under the pressure of life, as the head of the family, the love she could give him was very limited.

If it weren't for God's blessing that allowed him to meet Uncle Murong and Bingshe, his childhood would have been incomplete and miserable...

In comparison, compared to Qing Nianyi whose parents had both passed away... Qin Heng really couldn't imagine how she had come this far alone, and how that gentleness and kindness engraved in her bones had managed to survive in such a sinister and scheming workplace and business family...

Now she...seems to have everything...and yet seems to have nothing...

Reflect on yourself

His mother couldn't give him anything, but she also gave him everything. Although he didn't have much, he understood the weight of this love... and these were all things Qingnian didn't have...

What she wanted most now was a relative... someone who was willing to give her a little love...

But for some reason, this person chose him who was useless...

Qin Heng was somewhat confused and absent-minded... Suddenly, a lubricated warm feeling on his fingertips brought him back to his senses...

Qin Heng looked around and realized that his thumb had been placed between the lips of someone else.
