A Smile From the Villain [BL]

ASV Chapter 73: Thick Nerves

(T/N: warnings at end of chapter)

Qin Kaiyi spent the following days happily as a rice worm.

Shen Feixiao didn't try to force him again, so Qin Kaiyi did nothing but eat and sleep until his face became round.

To a certain extent, Qin Kaiyi had really tough nerves. Normal people in his situation, though maybe they wouldn't go crazy, their mood would definitely fall. But Qin Kaiyi...

"I want to eat shredded pork with garlic sauce." A certain person stuffing food in his mouth was very dissatisfied with today's meal. "Why are all these dishes vegetarian?"

"..." The man holding the fish meat in his chopsticks paused when he heard these words, and then nodded slightly.

"It would be even better with some wine." Gaining an inch and wanting a foot, Qin Kaiyi saw that Shen Feixiao practically unconditionally acceded to all his requests, so he thickened his face to say, "I want it older than a hundred years."

"..." Shen Feixiao slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Kaiyi without expression. He actually felt like he didn't know what to say... Since that day he forced Qin Kaiyi to eat a pastry, Qin Kaiyi, who should have fiercely resisted, suddenly had an attitude as if he might as well make himself at home...

Of course, it turned out that Shen Feixiao was too naive. He would never know that Qin Kaiyi's method to comfort himself was to repeat one sentence: life is like being r*ped, since you can't resist then you might as well enjoy.

Qin Kaiyi still had 25% of return value left to collect. According to the previous rules, he probably would be able to complete his return value with one more task. As the system had not given him any tasks and he had no good way to escape Shen Feixiao, he might as well eat and drink well. After all, the body is the revolution's capital (T/N: Mao Zedong saying, basically you have to be in good health to work)... As for the terrifying experience of Shen Feixiao forcing him, Qin Kaiyi has already pressed it into the deepest part of his mind; he no longer tried to recall those memories, but regarded them as fading nightmares.

"Shixiong." Looking at Qin Kaiyi seeming like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water (T/N: fig.: undaunted), Shen Feixiao's tone changed as he said, "Is your injury better?"

"What do you want to do?" Qin Kaiyi, who heard this sentence, instantly became alert–this fellow Shen Feixiao wasn't still thinking to do something to him?

"Just concerned about you for a bit." Putting down the chopsticks, Shen Feixiao said, "I have some ointment here, you remember to use it."

"En." Qin Kaiyi gave a half-hearted and pithy agreement–although he didn't show timidity in front of Shen Feixiao now, the fear deep in his heart could not be eliminated.

He could hardly imagine that him firmly pretending to be calm was like a little beast who was scared stiff, but tremblingly baring his fangs to show that he was not afraid at all. A glimmer of a smile flashed through Shen Feixiao's gaze. "Relax, I won't touch you now." —Doing that kind of thing was just to finish claiming ownership. Now that you are a canary in my cage, how could I intentionally hurt you?

"Thank you." He obtained Shen Feixiao's guarantee, but Qin Kaiyi's expression wasn't too good. He looked at the plentiful dishes on the table and somewhat felt that he was eating without tasting the food (T/N: common figurative meaning = worried or downhearted).

Then there was silence between the two. This atmosphere might be hard to endure for Qin Kaiyi, but it was a wonderful time for Shen Feixiao.

From his childhood to his adulthood, before falling down the cliff and meeting Yu Hong, he rarely had the opportunity to eat a proper full meal. Therefore, the status of food in his eyes was very important.
