A Smile From the Villain [BL]

ASV Chapter 83

Translator: Chrysanthemum Bud

The following days of Qin Kaiyi's life were dull and tedious.

His depression became more and more serious. Just when his suicidal ideations dominated his thoughts, Qin Kaiyi suddenly discovered that Shen Feixiao had some abnormalities.

Yes, abnormalities. Unlike in the past, when he would stay with him almost every day in the room, Shen Feixiao seemed to have some other matters. His face was somber for many days in a row, and he stayed in the room for shorter periods. His expression carried more unpleasantness.

However, Qin Kaiyi was not interested in investigating these changes in Shen Feixiao. If it were the past, he would probably still think about what actually was going on, but now...

Qin Kaiyi yawned, rubbed his eyes, rolled to his side, and then slept again.

Shen Feixiao didn't say anything, and Qin Kaiyi didn't ask. Matters that should have been easy to figure out became more and more severe, to the point that at the moment when Qin Kaiyi knew what happened, everything was already too late.

When Ziyang Pei brought others and charged into the room where Qin Kaiyi was, Qin Kaiyi was completely stunned. He sat on the bed blankly, and his mouth opened slightly. He appeared to have no clue about the situation at all.

"Qin Shi." Ziyang Pei was wearing all black, and he seemed to be rather travel-worn. (T/N: lit. covered in dust). When he saw a white-haired Qin Kaiyi, there was a trace of subtle pain in his gaze: "Are you all right?"

Are you all right? What a strange hello. Although Qin Kaiyi's mind was a bit sluggish, that did not prevent him from noticing some dramatic changes: "You... what about Shen Feixiao?"

"Why concern yourself about him?" As soon as Shen Feixiao was mentioned, Ziyang Pei's tone sunk: "Don't worry, he doesn't have the spare time to manage you now."

"...Oh," Qin Kaiyi foolishly replied. Then he again felt that something wasn't quite right: "That can't be, what do you mean he doesn't have the spare time to manage me? What's going on with him..."

"Why do you still care about him." Ziyang Pei saw that Qin Kaiyi kept mentioning Shen Feixiao, and his improved mood from seeing Qin Shi was swept clean away: "You've been imprisoned by him and tortured to this state, shouldn't you hate him!"

"Still fine." Qin Kaiyi smiled with embarrassment. Although he disliked Shen Feixiao, he still didn't walk to the point of hatred. After all... these matters were all brought about by his own self.

"Don't talk so much," Ziyang Pei said with an anxious expression. "Quickly follow me."

"...Why should I go with you." Qin Kaiyi sighed upon hearing Ziyang Pei's words. "At that time it was you who sold me out to Shen Feixiao, now what are you doing pretending to be a good person."

Hearing Qin Kaiyi hitting the nail on the head, Ziyang Pei's expression slightly twisted. He took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Little Stone, that time was not of my own volition. Now I have paid off the debt in full, I won't again..."

"Stop." Qin Kaiyi hurriedly made a pause gesture: "Don't get emotional with me. Ziyang Pei, frankly speaking, I don't believe you at all, and I won't go with you."

"..." Ziyang Pei's complexion instantly became overcast after hearing Qin Kaiyi's words. He looked at Qin Kaiyi and gave two low chuckles, his tone full of gloom: "Goodness, Qin Shi, you're really refusing a toast only to be forced to drink as punishment. (T/N: fig.: to hesitate to do something until forced to do even more). I'm not asking for your opinion now. If you want to suffer less, just hurry and follow me."
