Chapter 200: Their Respective Actions
Su Yan: “Since you already know that my senior sister suspects me, how dare you still do this kind of thing? Sneaking me a letter… what if you’re discovered?”
Su Yan was very puzzled. How could she dare to commit a crime in broad daylight? And how could his senior sister not have noticed Qin Yimeng coming here?
Qin Yimeng: “There are a thousand days of being a thief, but not a thousand days of guarding against one. Her attention is all on you. This little matter is still very simple.”
“As for why I’m taking the risk, of course, it’s because I miss you very much. I don’t know when she will relax her vigilance. I can only communicate my feelings with you through words for now.”
Hearing Qin Yimeng say this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Su Yan’s face, and then he felt a pleasant surprise.
He was helpless because of Qin Yimeng’s perseverance. He was pleasantly surprised because she wouldn’t be coming to find him for the time being. This was undoubtedly a good thing.
Qin Yimeng: “Are you secretly laughing to yourself, feeling very happy that you don’t have to see me?”
Seeing this text, Su Yan’s heart tightened, and he quickly said, “Of course not. How could I be?”
Although he was very happy in his heart, he would not say it out loud. He still had that much emotional intelligence.
Qin Yimeng: “I know what you’re thinking, but it doesn’t matter. Let’s communicate like this every day from now on. Tell me everything about you.”
“Mm.”
Su Yan sent the message reluctantly. Only his senior sister needed to know everything about him. What were you worrying about! What was their relationship?
Su Yan complained in his heart, but he was forced to exchange messages with her every day.
Although he had not had any physical contact with others during this period, to be so secretive and not let his senior sister find out… this behavior made Su Yan feel very uneasy. Every time he saw his senior sister, he felt very guilty, as if he were having a spiritual affair.
But thinking carefully, it was definitely not the case. He was just being perfunctory with Qin Yimeng. The person he loved in his heart was only his senior sister. This should not be considered cheating.
Xiao Wu had been very troubled recently. She clearly knew that there was something wrong with her junior brother, that he was hiding something from her. But after monitoring him for so many days, she hadn’t found a single hair.
“What’s going on?”
Xiao Wu once suspected that she was mistaken. But occasionally seeing Su Yan’s guilty eyes made her firm in her thoughts again.
“There must be something wrong somewhere.”
At this thought, Xiao Wu regained her patience.
She believed that as long as she continued to persevere, there would be a day of success, a day when she would discover the person’s slip-up.
…
Su Yan was pleasantly surprised by Xiao Wu’s persistence. Every time he felt he was being watched, he would feel very at ease. As long as his senior sister was here, he wouldn’t have to worry about Qin Yimeng, right?
But Su Yan had been overthinking this matter. Just as Qin Yimeng had said, there were a thousand days of being a thief, but not a thousand days of guarding against one. No matter how strict the guard was, there would be a flaw.
And Xiao Wu’s flaw was very simple: her identity. As the Eldest Senior Sister of Heavenly Water Peak, she was not an idle person. It was impossible for her to be idle every day and stay in this place.
And so, early one morning, Su Yan got the news. His senior sister had been called over by their Master, who said she had something for her to handle.
“Master, oh Master, you’re really going to be the death of me.”
Hearing this, Su Yan sighed deeply. But he knew that this day would come. Even if his senior sister hadn’t been called away by their Master, she couldn’t protect him forever.
After all, didn’t she have to eat? Didn’t she have to cultivate? What if someone was looking for her? These were all problems.
“Now that Senior Sister is gone, she’s definitely going to make a move, right?”
Su Yan knew that Qin Yimeng had a way of knowing the situation here. Her information was very timely.
Sure enough, Xiao Wu had just left in the morning, and her message arrived in the afternoon.
Qin Yimeng: “I heard your senior sister is gone, sent on a mission by your Master.”
Su Yan: “Probably, maybe…”
Qin Yimeng: “That’s great! I’ve only been able to communicate with words for so many days. I can’t wait to see you. How about we meet near the Pill Pavilion later? Very few people go there.”
Su Yan: “Although I’d like to go, I’m busy today. I just happen to have a furnace of pills to refine, so I don’t have time.”
Qin Yimeng: “No time? Is it that you don’t have time, or that you don’t want to see me? If you don’t come, then I’ll have to go and find you.”
Su Yan’s heart jumped, and he quickly said, “No need! I’ll go! Isn’t that enough!”
Qin Yimeng sent back a smiley face, and then the two ended their conversation.
Su Yan put away the jade slip and sighed deeply. He didn’t know how many times he had sighed. Ever since he had met Qin Yimeng, his troubles had not stopped. The number of times he had sighed during this period was more than in a whole year. Was she his nemesis?
“Sigh, there’s no other way.”
Although he didn’t want to go to the appointment, he had to.
Su Yan chose some clothes and hurried towards the Pill Pavilion.
He was a little more confident about this appointment. The kind of thing that had happened last time probably wouldn’t happen. After all, it was still daytime. She couldn’t possibly get horny at him in broad daylight, right?
And people often came there. A girl’s skin might be thick, but she still had to have some face.
At this thought, Su Yan’s heart relaxed a lot.
However, even if he avoided physical contact, after meeting with Qin Yimeng, the verbal harassment had not stopped.
For example, asking him what he liked to eat, what he liked to wear, what color he liked, what style of underwear he was wearing today…
Su Yan could barely stand the first few. He could still brush them off as her caring about him. But the latter…
“Are you a pervert!?”
Su Yan couldn’t hold it in any longer. In this world, the gender concepts were reversed. To ask a man what underwear he was wearing today was like taking a picture up a girl’s skirt in his previous life. It was a very perverted act.
“You think I am, right? But even if I am a pervert, it’s only towards you.”
Qin Yimeng’s expression was calm, not feeling ashamed at all.
It was precisely because she had wanted to be a gentleman that she had missed the perfect opportunity to get on the bus. She had completely seen through it now.
So-called face was not important at all. Whether she could achieve her goal was the problem she should be concerned with.
Ever since she had threatened Su Yan, her image had plummeted. Qin Yimeng no longer cared about this kind of thing and had completely given up.
And what was wrong with a woman being a little perverted? How could she win a beauty’s hand if she wasn’t perverted?
“You!”
Su Yan’s body trembled with anger, but he was helpless.
What else could he do? Qin Yimeng had already said so. What else could he scold her for?
If he hit her, he might not be her opponent. It wouldn’t be fun to humiliate himself then.
“Hmph.”
Su Yan snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring her.
And so, the second “date” ended. Su Yan returned home with a belly full of anger.
When Xiao Wu had completed her mission and returned, she saw that Su Yan’s expression was not right, and he looked extremely depressed.
