It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"……whatever."

Xie Qingyan pursed his lips, turned his head away after a while, and slumped himself into the sofa. "I just want to talk to you about whether we should make some adjustments to our relationship, or the way we get along with each other?"

"for example?"

Xu Shi asked doubtfully.

"I don't know how to explain it to you, but I really feel bad right now."

The dog woman sighed, "Because I feel more and more that when I see you being affectionate with others, I will feel very irritated."

"Is it because of the erosion of the sea god?"

Xu Shi frowned, "My advice is don't think too much. Now that you have Dongfang Xiao to treat you, you will recover in no time. You will be fine after this period of time."

“…Yes, but not entirely.”

Xie Qingyan's expression was equally grim. "Isn't this a feeling I only had after being corrupted by the Sea God? Maybe I've had it since we went out to sea?"

"It's just that now that the Sea God has invaded my mind, this feeling is indeed getting worse... That's why I hope to make some changes."

It can be seen that her mood has been so low since she left for the palace until now, and the occasional teasing is just a disguise... No wonder she insisted that Xia Wuyou avoid it just now. Perhaps the fact that three people are together is something she resists.

Ah this...Xia Xiaomao on the side remained silent. Is this the time to speak?

In fact, she did not expect that during the time she was away, the relationship between Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan not only did not get better, but instead got worse and worse - and her reaction was similar to Jiang Chengcheng's. She did not know about the erosion of the sea god before, and now she felt a little sad when she heard about it.

She didn't know exactly how the Sea God was eroding her, but she could still understand what he was saying. She also knew very well that Xie Qingyan was fundamentally different from them. He would be more assertive when facing Xu Shi and was more sensitive in this relationship.

Otherwise, why would she be in such a tantrum? To be honest, Xia Wuyou didn't want to see such a thing. In this respect, she was similar to the other girls, or the eldest lady. She would not seriously compete for jealousy. Rather than seeing someone challenging Xu Shi, it was better to keep the atmosphere harmonious.

But she couldn't persuade him now, because the person who tied the bell must untie it... Of course, she also believed that this was not a problem for Xu Shi. Although this bad man was a playboy, he was quite good at coaxing girls. How could he not handle it well?

Xu Shi handled the situation very well, and he casually handed over the initiative to his fiancée. "So how do you want to change it?"

"I...I really don't want much, Xu Shi."

Xie Qingyan said helplessly, "I just hope that we can have more private space, and that you can take care of my feelings occasionally, and stop making fun of me in front of other people."

"Also, I've really been idle for a long time. I also hope to do something like the others, your apprentice, Wuyou, Chengcheng and the others, instead of being an outsider who can only watch you guys working hard but can't join in."

!

Xia Wuyou remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was inexplicably shocked. Oh my God? Could Xie Qingyan say such words?

She knew the other party's character too well. She had also experienced the other party's attempt to rebel against Tian Gang and suppress Xu Shi... Now that she heard her request was so humble, it would be a lie to say that she was not surprised.

Good man, how much CPU did you secretly use when I was not around... She couldn't help but roll her eyes silently, and inexplicably felt a little pitiful for her.

The main thing is that she felt that this was not a request at all. Aren't they just some very basic things when getting along with each other? Not to mention that the second half of her sentence was entirely for Xu Shi, or the entire team, and she hoped that she could integrate into every one of his plans.

"I understand, I understand."

Xu Shi nodded slightly, "But didn't I tell you a long time ago that your current condition is unstable, so I asked you to have a good rest."

"I've discussed this with you before... Why do you have to dwell on this for so long?"

It can be seen that he is actually a little impatient, and obviously does not want to explain these things over and over again. You are an adult and you understand it. Why do you have to argue with him again and again?

Don't say that.

Xia Wuyou was a little helpless. Everyone knew that Xie Qingyan was an arrogant person. Isolating her would probably not be much better than killing her. Besides, she was in a bad mental state right now. So he should try to coax her instead of fighting back, right?

She always felt like she was experiencing some kind of menopause or pregnancy irritability, but Xu Shi didn't seem to think so and still treated her the same way as before, and they were both strong and unwilling to give in.

"Do you think there's nothing I can do in my current situation?"

Xie Qingyan retorted unconvincedly, "And you don't even realize the problem!"

That's right, Xu Shi's answer was only directed at the second half of her sentence. He didn't even mention the first half. But in fact, that was what she most wanted to change.

She admitted that her situation was indeed a bit delicate compared to others, and as she had said before, she felt from the bottom of her heart that she owed Xu Shi something.

But this is definitely not the reason why she should suffer these things. Some people have said before, "You don't owe me anything in the future", right? The two of them have lived and died together. If you still feel that it is not enough, don't say those words! Instead of coming together like this, the relationship between them has become increasingly distant, which also makes her always feel that she is inferior to other girls.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she even felt that it would be better to let Xu Shi directly give her abilities. At least it wouldn't be a drama of expectation followed by disappointment.

Anyway, she couldn't stand this. If I owed Xie Qingyan anything, I only owed you, Xu Shi. What did the other girls have to do with me? Why should I be teased and ridiculed by you for no reason every day, and then I would get angry and everyone would be happy like a clown?

"Don't you know what we are doing now?"

Xu Shi was extremely helpless. "We are now playing a rival role with the Holy See. Not to mention that every step is treading on thin ice, not making mistakes is the most basic thing. Letting you rest well is not only responsible for you, but also for everyone."

"And how could I not know what the problem is? Aren't we treating you now? Once you are no longer troubled by the erosion of the sea god, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

Xia Wuyou always felt that these two people have not yet connected to the same channel. They seem to be talking about the same thing, but in fact their emphasis is completely different.

"...I don't have as good a temper as others, Xu Shi."

Xie Qingyan sighed again, "But I'm not here to argue with you. I don't want to argue with you. I just want to lay things out and make things clear."

"Are you threatening me?"

Xu Shi frowned, "This is just my personality. I don't know what's wrong with me. It's up to you."

"you!"

The bitch stood up suddenly, totally unbelieving that this was what Xu Shi said.

Not long ago, he was still there with a proud look on his face saying "No way", God knows how touched she was at that time, but who knew that it would become like this not long after, this kind of gap would be hard to accept for herself.

However, she did not do anything out of line. She just stared at Xu Shi for a long time. Finally, she just angrily threw her sleeves and turned away.

Xu Shi had no intention of trying to keep him. He just slumped down on the sofa in annoyance, feeling upset and out of breath.

Perhaps no one expected that the relationship between the two would turn out like this.

At least Xia Wuyou didn't expect that. After Xie Qingyan left, he couldn't help but speak, "Isn't it not good for you to do this? I feel..."

To be honest, in her eyes, this is not what should happen after the two of them experienced life and death together. Especially even though both of them have strong personalities, they really don't seem like the kind of people who would care about these things, or even if there is a rift, they will still insist on their own opinions and refuse to give in to each other.

Is it really because there are too many things going on these days? She had heard from her aunt before that it was not easy for everyone to be busy with the cat and cat teaching... In addition, Xu Shi sometimes did things without considering other people's ideas, and had a parental mentality of "this is all for your own good", so it was not surprising that Xie Qingyan was unhappy.

But even so, Xia Xiaomao still thought that Xu Shi should be a little gentler to Xie Qingyan? As a person who had experienced it, she knew that this guy enjoyed the pleasure of training and training, whether it was herself or Shen Qin, and Xie Qingyan happened to be in this range, which could easily bring out his old habits.

But then again, shouldn't training be something that should be done before a relationship is confirmed? Anyway, Xu Shi treated her like this, using all kinds of tricks to make her unable to stop at that time... But Xie Qingyan has obviously done that with you, and you are still doing this, which is a bit too much.

On the contrary, when she is in such a low mood, you still have to be so strong, what purpose can you achieve? It is not difficult to be nice to her, you may have been nice to others before.

At least he has always been good to himself, and one could even say he is very good.

"...Do you also think it's my problem?"

Xu Shi interrupted her, with a questioning tone in his voice, but it didn't feel unquestionable, but rather a bit helpless.

"This……"

This made Xia Xiaomao not know how to respond. If she insisted, her heart was definitely with Xu Shi, but do you think this matter was Xie Qingyan's fault? It seems that it was not entirely.

No matter how she answered, she felt it was inappropriate.

"never mind."

Xu Shi didn't think too much about it. He waved his hand and asked tiredly, "Where were we talking about just now?"

"Speaking of...some plans against the Holy See?"

Xia Wuyou didn't forget the important things because of this accident. "Just now, I think we talked about selling a flaw to the Holy See?"

"Yeah... let's do this for now."

Xu Shi nodded, but it seemed obvious that he didn't have the energy to think about these things. "Let's talk about this after we're done. Don't tell anyone else about Qing Yan and I."

"Uh-huh."

Little Xia nodded sensibly.

then.

After separating from Xu Shi, she immediately found Xia Ke'an and shared the matter with her.

This is the truth. Others can be considered outsiders, but how can a biological aunt be considered an outsider?

She really felt like she had to get it out. She would be miserable if she kept it in her heart.

"Huh? Are they making such a big fuss?"

The old lady was lying on the bed resting like an adult. She couldn't help but sit up after hearing this. "How could there be... Tsk."

She was actually more surprised than her niece. After all, Xia Wuyou did not accompany them this time, but she stayed with Xu Shi the whole time. It was just that she was so busy enjoying the father-daughter love that she did not pay much attention to other things.

But if you think about it carefully, there are actually some clues? But there is no point in saying this. Turning back time is not their ability, and they can't change anything at the moment.

"What is this guy thinking?"

However, the white-haired lady still wanted to complain, "Does he think that he can use his ability to his advantage and can defeat anyone with one trick?"

This is indeed the case. After all, this kind of thing rarely happens in Xu Shi's place. One of the reasons is that many girls have been planted with seeds by him, and normal people are the minority, such as Su Lin, Xie Qingyan and so on.

But as for the former... I feel that she is even more excessive than the one who planted the seeds. If I really hit her on the left cheek, she might even extend her right cheek as well.

Who? Tang Shuang? Sorry, I don't know you well.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Actually, Xu Shi is not wrong. Now that the two of them are in such a stalemate, anything you say will only add fuel to the fire."

She shook her head and sighed. It would not be too late to resolve the misunderstanding until Xie Qingyan's complications were completely suppressed.

"Well, Auntie is right."

Xia Wuyou agreed, but she also had other concerns. "After saying so much, you seem to be the same?"

The aunt and niece no longer worry about whether they are planted with seeds or not, but there is still a difference.

"Me? Don't worry about me."

Xia Ke'an thought for a moment and blinked playfully, "I'm a love-brained person, there's no hope for me."

It has indeed been excessive recently, and the previous rectifications were also very troublesome... The data has dropped a lot, and I am already thinking about some future things, such as a new book?

I would also like to remind everyone to keep warm in autumn. It rained last night and I covered myself with a thin blanket. Now I feel cold all over. Hiss…

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 282 Do you want to do anything else?

2023-10-04

First of all, let me clarify. When I said yesterday that I was considering a new book, it didn’t mean that I was going to abandon this one or something… No matter what the current data is, this book will of course be completed. Starting a new book was a plan I had in mind long ago. It wasn’t an idea I suddenly thought of because I saw the performance was starting to decline. I’ve been considering it for at least half a month…

……

Well known.

The Cold War is definitely not the solution to the problem, never.

At least with the joint efforts of Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan, within a few days, everyone could clearly notice that a crack had appeared in their relationship.

"How did it become like this..."

In his spare time, even a good kid like Pan Feng who didn't like gossip couldn't help but complain to his sister, "If I had known I would see these, I might as well have stayed on the island..."

After all, for her now, whether she is on Silver Pine Island or somewhere else, she actually has room to display her abilities. When she was on Silver Pine Island before, she stayed by Xia Wuyou's side and learned a lot, both in terms of martial arts and new things from the City of Night Sin.

Overall, she may not be able to compare with Pan Ling, but it is not an exaggeration to say that she can stand on her own.

Originally, Xia Wuyou wanted her to stay on the island and let her do some things independently, but for Pan Feng, she actually wanted to see her master's cool operation more, so she begged her master to take her along, so that she could shine here as well.

She still couldn't forget how Xu Shi had shown off in front of the royal family.

As for the result... It's not that I didn't see what I wanted to see. Of course, when I came here, I had to contribute to the sect as a member of the Cat Cult, and this is where I can feel Xu Shi's charm the most. It hasn't been long since then, and the master has really created an organization that is capable of competing with the Holy See... Can someone else do it?

But it would be better if there weren't all those trivial household chores... That's right, in the eyes of the carefree girl Xiao Feng, quarrels between couples are really nothing.

"Sister, think about it carefully. Parents used to quarrel with each other, but they were definitely not like Master and Master Xie..."

Although she has not experienced it herself, she has her own opinion. "I always feel that as long as my father gives in, nothing will happen after that."

It is definitely not like it is now. At first glance, it seems that nothing has happened, but in fact, the atmosphere between each other has long become a little subtle, and everyone can feel that inexplicable sense of depression.

"Do you think the master is someone who would give in?"

Pan Ling thought her sister was cute and silly and shook her head helplessly.

The most important thing is that Master Xie's wife is not either. If two people who are unwilling to give in to each other get together, it is very likely that they will quarrel over some trivial matters. Then no one will be willing to give in. In her opinion, the stalemate will definitely last for quite some time.

The other people around him must also have bad days ahead of them. The silly apprentice can feel it himself. Recently, the master has not been in a good mood. Many things have been pushed directly to himself to do. It is obvious that he has no intention to do them, or he is worried that he might make mistakes in the chaos, so he simply avoids this possibility from the source.
