ASV Chapter 72: Heartless

Translator: Chrysanthemum Bud

(T/N: Chapter title can also mean "cruel, or "to no longer feel any tenderness and love toward someone")

Qin Kaiyi had a long dream.

In the dream, he was just sitting at the table and having lunch, when he saw a man who looked exactly like Wei He walk in from the door. The man smiled and said to him, "The wedding is at two o'clock. Why are you still eating now?"

"Wedding?" Qin Kaiyi had food stuffed in his mouth and his voice was muffled. "Whose?"

"Yours." Wei He looked at Qin Kaiyi in surprise, "Come on, you will be late if you don't go."

"Okay." Miraculously, the dream Qin Kaiyi did not express any opinion on or protest this matter. He looked at his watch which read 1:45, then happily followed Wei He to his own wedding.

Although it was a dream, Qin Kaiyi was able to clearly see the surrounding scene and characters. He saw his parents supporting each other with tears in their eyes, gazing at him with both sadness and happiness as if he were a daughter being married off.

"Dad, mom." Qin Kaiyi thought this situation was very strange, but he couldn't put his finger on why. He scratched his head and asked with doubt, "Who am I marrying?"

"Of course it's your shidi, silly child." Mother Qin wiped her tears and looked gratified. "Finally married you out."

"..." Qin Kaiyi had no expression, but his mouth twitched.

"Go ahead, he has been waiting for you, don't be late." Mother Qin patted her son's shoulder, and said gently, "Being late for your first time getting married will make people have a bad impression of you."

... what does first time getting married mean? Would there be a second and third time in the future?? Qin Kaiyi thought very calmly. But being late for one's marriage really wasn't too good. Of course, Qin Kaiyi at this time didn't seem to notice which person the shidi his mother spoke of was...

Qin Kaiyi, who walked into the church, changed into a suit miraculously. He looked at the empty church and felt an indescribable panic.

But this is what happens in human dreams, even if you are scared... you have to continue.

After walking a long way, Qin Kaiyi finally saw a figure with its back to him in the first row of seats. The figure wore a white wedding dress, and it looked so slim and graceful from the back that hot tears almost gathered at the rims of Qin Kaiyi's eyes–finally getting married, finally not a wizard (T/N: Chinese people believed that if a man stayed a virgin until around 30, he would develop magic powers), and finally... yi? Something seems not quite right?

The marriage partner in a white wedding dress slowly turned around, and Qin Kaiyi immediately issued a sharp, miserable shriek when he saw that face-aaaaahhhhhhh, why would Shen Feixiao wear a wedding dress and look at him with such a solemn expression, ahhhhh!!!

Then Qin Kaiyi woke up. After waking up, he realized that he was already covered in cold sweat, and his head seemed to be on the verge of exploding from severe pain.

"Wu..." Supporting his head, Qin Kaiyi felt that his entire person was in chaos. Feeling somewhat like how he had when he experienced a fever in the past, Qin Kaiyi focused with difficulty and began to observe his surroundings.

... He was no longer in that cold wasteland. Qin Kaiyi leaned back on the head of the bead and found himself lying on a somewhat familiar decoratively carved bed. The bed emitted a strong fragrance that made Qin Kaiyi, already in a confused state, even less sober.
