Sofia looked at Leah first, and when she saw Leah nodded slightly, Sofia spoke.

"Abin, what are your parents' names? What do they do for a living?"

——Here it comes...

Qin Bin remained calm and responded seriously, "My father, Qin An, is a high school Chinese teacher, and my mother, Li Wenshu, is a high school math teacher."

"call..."

Upon hearing this, Sophia and Leah couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked happy.

However, as if she still wanted to obtain more evidence and support, Sophia quickly asked again, "Abin, do you have other relatives?"

"Yes." Qin Bin nodded and replied, "Grandfather Qin Feng and grandmother Wu Fanghua are both retired workers and are now living out their days at home. My brother, Qin Wu, is 16 years old and a high school student. My sister, Qin Yanran, is 14 and a junior high school student. I also have an uncle, Qin Hua, who is an active military officer."

Sophia smiled even more, but suddenly asked, "Abin, do you prefer a girl with a plump and proud figure, or a skinny and thin figure?"

"??"

Not only was Qin Bin confused, but even Leah was a little confused.

"Abin, just answer. I don't have anything specific to say."

As Sofia spoke, she stood with her head held high and her arms folded, making her proud posture even more obvious.

Sophia's action made Leah suddenly realize something. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her chest, which seemed flat even with the breastplate on. Then veins on her forehead suddenly bulged with anger.

But just when Leah was about to explode, Qin Bin said.

"I don't have any particular favorites. When I choose a partner, I pay more attention to character and personality—"

"Abin, please tell the truth~" Sofia said with a smile.

"...Only children make choices. If possible, as long as it is pretty and suits my taste, I will have it all and I like it all."

As he spoke, Qin Bin couldn't help but look towards the lawn on the side awkwardly, because these were his true feelings.

"It matches! It matches everything! Not a single word is missing, even the expression is exactly the same!! There is no mistake!! You are my Abin!!"

Sophia happily rushed over and wanted to hug Qin Bin, but Liya grabbed her collar from behind, preventing her from leaning forward. At the same time, Qin Bin subconsciously stepped back. His reaction of wanting to avoid him made Sophia pause slightly, and she gradually calmed down.

Sophia knocked away Liya's hand, straightened her clothes a little, and said to Qin Bin with a smile, "Abin, let's get to know each other formally. I am your future--"

"Sophia!" Leah refused to accept this. Since she was sure that the person in front of her was her Qin Bin, she certainly would not let her mortal enemy leave any trace in Qin Bin's heart in advance.

"Liya, I'm just telling the truth. Do you want to deceive Abin with lies for the rest of his life?" Sophia smiled calmly and looked back at Leah.

"You..." Leah couldn't help but blush a little when she was scolded like that.

Sophia said with a smile, "We should let Abin have a correct understanding of the actual future now. In this way, when everything is settled, Abin can make a better choice, right?"

Leah almost gritted her teeth and said, "This is different from what we agreed..."

"No, it's the same. I just added some things. The rest will all unfold as you agreed."

——This bitch...playing word games...

Leah's face looked quite unhappy.

Sophia didn't take it seriously, and still said with a smile, "Liya, you have to distinguish the primary from the secondary..."

"Sophia, do you think I'm stupid?"

"No, no, no, it's just, Leah..."

"That's enough, Sofia. Stop using those rhetoric tricks. Let's talk about the real thing. Bin is mine now, so you'd better stop gossiping. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

As Leah spoke, she had already placed her hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Oh? You're welcome? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Sofia was not at all scared. While sneering, she also had a two-meter-long spear in her hand.

In just a moment, a terrifying aura burst out from the two people, just like...

"Crack, crack, crack~ People from another world, they are really going to get serious now."

“Kachakacha~ Really…Sir, could you take me a little further away later?”

"What? Crack, crack~"

“I’m afraid of being implicated, and I don’t want to die without knowing why. And I definitely can’t escape, so I can only rely on your mercy. Snap, snap~”

"Hehe... Yeah, I'm very kind, no problem~ Kachaka~"

Well, I don't know when Qin Bin hid beside Xiaobai, and started to eat potato chips with Xiaobai, both of them looked like they were enjoying the fun.

Leah and Sophia noticed this scene, and veins popped up on their foreheads instantly, and they looked at Qin Bin fiercely.

"Stop. You two..." But Qin Bin smiled calmly and said, "Please remember, I am not who you think I am."

"!?" X2

"I didn't know any of you before today. This is an objective fact that cannot be questioned for me personally. What you are doing now is just for the man in your mind. It has nothing to do with me. So please, don't involve me, an outsider."

"..."

Qin Bin's words not only stunned Leah and Sophia, but also surprised Xiaobai, and even a little delighted.

After all, this "play" seems to have become even more exciting...

Chapter 009: Qin Bin is ready to risk it all - Part

--outsider...

This word made Leah and Sophia feel empty in their hearts.

Especially since Qin Bin's attitude of wanting to cut ties with them was too obvious, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

However, the two women reacted quickly.

To Qin Bin, who had no memory of the future, they were indeed just people he had just met. He could not understand their feelings at all. Their overly passionate expression of emotions was likely to cause trouble to Qin Bin, or even disgust.

The changes in the two women's expressions, especially the fact that Leah put down her hand that was holding the hilt of the sword and Sofia put the spear into the storage ring, made Qin Bin even more certain that the two women had listened to the tone he had deliberately set.

——It’s good to be able to listen to it...

Qin Bin felt relieved and said, "You two, I am new to your place, like a rootless duckweed - well, I have no one to rely on, and my understanding of this world is close to zero. Under such circumstances, whether I can successfully settle down in this world is what I am most concerned about at the moment, nothing else."

"Abin——"

Sophia was about to say something, but Qin Bin raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Ms. Hall, please hear me out."

"Oh~"

Sofia pursed her lips and really obeyed.

Qin Bin couldn't help but sigh secretly upon seeing this, but he continued speaking.

"I was very lucky. On the first day after I came to this strange world, I was in a life-or-death situation, but my boss saved me. I will never forget this kindness, and I am truly grateful to my boss."

"Well, it's nothing. Don't worry about it." Leah pursed her lips. Although this was not what she wanted to hear, she couldn't help feeling a little happy. After all, in a sense, she was the first.

This is what Leah thought, and Sofia thought so too, so Sofia became unhappy instantly.

However, Qin Bin ignored it and continued, "Now, although there are still many things that are not clear, generally speaking, I am honored to have received the favor of the two of you. Even if this favor is a little abrupt or even shocking to me personally, I am very grateful.

Because judging from your previous behavior, I think my upcoming journey to the other world will not have too many ups and downs, and may even be smooth sailing.

Unfortunately, I dare not, and cannot, respond to you."

Don't dare, can't...

These two words made Leah and Sophia think deeply, and they understood something.

Qin Bin added, "I consider myself to be a good person, but if I really follow your lead and respond to you, I will be tempted to use your feelings in a despicable way to gain living space and convenience for myself in this world.

But because I cannot judge the truth, if I am really not the person in your hearts, then the day will come when it will be revealed. At that time, I will die in a foreign land, but I will have hurt your sincerity.

Without any grudge or hatred, I really don't want to hurt anyone.

So, please treat me as a stranger from another world who has just arrived in your place. This will be good for everyone."

Qin Bin's tone was very gentle, but he seemed very serious and sincere, as if he had completely opened his heart without a trace of falsehood.

Xiaobai, who was standing by, had stopped eating potato chips. When he looked at Qin Bin's clear eyes, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Leah and Sofia, though slightly stunned, could not help but let out a nostalgic smile.

At this moment, the boy in front of them, who looked a little childish, completely coincided with the figure in their minds.

It's him, there won't be any surprises.

Both women were sure of this in their hearts.

At this moment, Qin Bin stepped forward, came in front of the two women, and with a sincere smile, extended his right hand to them.

"Let me introduce myself to you two. My last name is Qin Bin, my courtesy name is Junyu, I'm 18 years old, Chinese, and a recent high school graduate. Well, please take good care of me in the coming days."

The two women paused slightly, and Sophia reached out and shook hands with Qin Bin.

"I'm Sophia Hall, I'm 20 years old, and a fourth-year water student at the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy. Welcome to the other world, Abin."

Sophia shook hands with Qin Bin and then let go, and Leah also stretched out her hand to shake hands with Qin Bin.

"Liya Garcia, 20 years old, a fourth-year student in the Summoning Department of the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy, welcome."

While shaking hands with Qin Bin and about to let go, Leah also added one more sentence.

"Bin, what is 'Zi Jun Yu'?"

Sophia asked with equal confusion, "Yeah, what does this mean?"

"The one in your mind has never told you his courtesy name?" Qin Bin asked curiously.

"Father's name? I never mentioned it." Sophia shook her head.

"No." Leah also said so.

Qin Bin nodded slightly, "That's strange. My real relatives and friends basically call me by my courtesy name, and I feel close to it..."

"this..."

Leah and Sophia were slightly stunned, and then their expressions became slightly complicated, because they could hear that Qin Bin mentioned these deliberately.

Qin Bin said nonchalantly, "Oh, courtesy names are a traditional custom in our area. Generally, people have four titles: surname, given name, courtesy name, and pseudonym. The surname comes from the bloodline and clan, the given name is the expectation of the parents and elders, the courtesy name is the interpretation or extension of the given name, and the pseudonym is a code name, title, or honorific. So courtesy names are very important to us."

Qin Bin deliberately emphasized the importance of a courtesy name, but did not mention that according to the Qin family tradition, Qin Bin would only be given a courtesy name after he officially performed the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 20. Even if he had a courtesy name in advance, it would not be used externally. Qin Bin was a case where his grandfather had given him a courtesy name a long time ago, but it was not officially used.

If the man in the two girls' minds was really Qin Bin, there was also the possibility that he gave up using a courtesy name because he had not undergone a formal coming-of-age ceremony, and thus had not mentioned it to the two girls, which made it seem reasonable that the two girls were not aware of Qin Bin's courtesy name.

Of course, it is possible that the person in the two women’s hearts is not Qin Bin.

However, no matter what, Qin Bin was so deliberate, in fact, he was only deepening the sense of separation between himself and the man in the two women's hearts, consolidating the tone of "they are not the same person", so as to prevent the two women from unconsciously being confused.

The two women were also a little confused by Qin Bin's words, and always felt that it was... too particular.

Seeing the two women like this, Qin Bin smiled and said, "Actually, you can just treat this as a complicated inheritance etiquette of the nobility."

"The etiquette of noble inheritance... That's right, I remember Abin once said that he was a descendant of the royal family..." Sophia nodded in understanding.

But Leah didn't know all this and was rather confused.

"He did say that..." Qin Bin nodded, "That's true. To be precise, my ancestors were indeed royal family two thousand years ago. Qin was originally the Zhao family. What's more, my family has a family tree."

Although Qin Bin's ancestors were not from the same lineage as the First Emperor, they were indeed relatives of the Qin Ying clan. However, after the fall of Qin, his ancestors had no choice but to change their names and split into several branches to hide in the market and survive.

One of the branches is the Qin family, and the Qin Bin family is one of the branches of this Qin family.

Qin Bin paused for a moment, then said jokingly, "Oh, by the way, if we trace our origins further back, my family is a descendant of gods. But that was thousands of years ago, and for people of our time, it basically has no substantive meaning."

Qin Bin was indeed joking, but what he said was also true to a certain extent.

The main origins of Chinese surnames are the ancestors of human civilization such as Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor, Fuxi, Nuwa, Di Jun, Shaohao, etc., and they were endowed with divinity by the people in later generations. In other words, from the perspective of rhetoric, almost all Chinese can be called descendants of gods, and their ancestors were princes and nobles who had fiefs and titles.

Therefore, the saying "Every family has rich ancestors" is not an exaggeration in China.

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener may have taken it seriously.

Leah and Sophia just found it novel, after all, their 'Qin Bin' never said that he was a descendant of a god.

But when Qin Bin's words fell into Xiaobai's ears, it meant something else.

——This guy...it seems he is a descendant of gods, no wonder he can use magic...
