Chapter 45 Qin Yan
Qin Yan glanced sideways, remaining silent.
Shen Jing: "Big brother, is your throat uncomfortable? You sound strange when you speak."
Qin Yan's pale fingers traced the edge of Qiao Xiao's bed, a possessiveness that was hard to define, his eyes filled with a deep affection tinged with morbidity.
Feeling bored, Shen Jing said, "Then, big brother, you stay here for now, I'll go somewhere else."
Qin Yan remained silent, watching him leave.
He's gone. She won't blame me, right?
Everything changed; he truly escaped that hell.
Qin Yan lingered in the fresh air, his suppressed nerves almost twisted. A thin shirt covered his battered body, his back view lonely and fragile.
His gaze was fixed on Qiao Xiao's bed, his eyes filled with an almost obsessive madness.
"But I'm no longer worthy."
It was Qiao Xiao's kindness that saved him, so how could he be so despicable as to defile someone else's private property?
“Now, it’s not just my body that’s filthy…” The voice revealed an uncontrollable bitterness and self-mockery.
"You don't deserve it, Qin Yan, you've never deserved it."
However, he will not sit idly by and wait for his death when it comes to revenge.
Waiting for Qiao Xiao's assistance? Impossible. He asked himself honestly, why should he let her expend her energy to help him take revenge and rescue him? She did it willingly, and he could never repay this debt of gratitude.
"Don't let her get hurt, that's the last thing I can do."
Without any hesitation, he left the residential area.
Qiao Xiao only learned about these things after she woke up.
"Shen Jing can protect himself, why is Qin Yan getting involved?!" she scolded in despair. "Teleport, bring them back to me."
"Wait a minute, system, how many more upgrades do you need?"
System: "Host, 25 energy points are needed."
Qiao Xiao: "Deduct directly, upgrade."
System: "Upgrading in progress, upgrade successful. Current system level is four. One strategy slot has been gained, current strategy slot is 5. 25 energy points deducted, remaining energy 75. Job position can be changed, change?"
Qiao Xiao: "Of course."
System: "Transferring to new accommodation location... Transfer successful."
System: "Current location is XX, a 1-hour drive from the city center. It is a single apartment with a monthly rent of 1500 yuan. Utilities are free."
Qiao Xiao's eyebrows relaxed, and her tone became lighter, "Mm."
With just one word, his eyes and brows were full of smiles.
"Mark, locate Qin Yan, teleport."
System: "Deducting five energy points, locating... Location successful, teleporting..."
She had imagined Qin Yan looking utterly disheveled, but what she saw before her was...
"System, are you sure that's Qin Yan?"
She couldn't believe it.
Qin Yan, dressed in a dark suit, was impeccably dressed and exuded an extraordinary aura. Standing atop a high-rise building in a prosperous area, he resembled a powerful minister overlooking everything, giving Qiao Xiao the illusion that she had not saved Qin Yan.
Qiao Xiao: "The injury on his face is still there."
She didn't care about anything else and teleported directly to Qin Yan's side.
"Why did you leave alone?" she asked.
Qin Yan slowly turned her head, calmly unbuttoning her shirt, her arrogant gaze carrying a hint of flippancy. "Isn't it inappropriate for a girl like you to come here with me?"
Something's wrong with his breathing.
Qiao Xiao: "Who are you?!"
Qin Yan removed his thin clothes in front of her, revealing the shocking wounds still on his body.
Qin Yan stretched lazily and glanced at Qiao Xiao.
Her pouty and suspicious look is so cute.
Seeing his silence, Qiao Xiao asked, "Are you his second personality?"
Qin Yan closed his eyes. "Hmph, how could I be the second personality created by that—a piece of trash who can't even protect himself?" His tone was extremely dissatisfied.
Qiao Xiao: "System, treat him, no, cure his physical defects."
System: "10 energy points automatically deducted. Healing successful."
Qin Yan looked at Qiao Xiao in surprise, "Do you really have superpowers?"
Qiao Xiao's previously blurry face became clear.
Qiao Xiao: "Since you're thinking of leaving and don't even believe I can help you, then I'll leave first and won't keep you company."
Qin Yan: "Wait, don't go yet."
Qiao Xiao: "Is there anything else to say?"
Qin Yan: "Didn't you promise to always protect me?" His eyes held an unreachable sorrow and a desperate gamble.
Qiao Xiao: "So, that person just now was your second personality?"
Qin Yan: "No, we've coexisted since birth. He's another soul, but he's world-weary. Most of the time, I'm the one who interacts with people."
Qiao Xiao sighed, her tone softening: "Why did you leave?"
Qin Yan looked away guiltily, his eyes deep and serious. "I don't want to drag you down."
His voice returned to normal, sexy and charming.
Qiao Xiao: "Don't want to be a burden to me? From the moment I saved you, whether I'm a burden or not has long been out of your hands. Qin Yan, I will keep my promise and protect you until death."
Qin Yan couldn't understand where the determination in the girl's eyes came from.
The moon is enchanting, stirring not only the breeze but also the heartstrings.
Qin Yan: "What do you want?"
Qiao Xiao: "What do I want? You don't need to worry about that, I'll ask for it myself."
Qin Yan: "Okay." A smile appeared on his face as he replied casually.
Qiao Xiao's expression changed, and she questioned him, "Didn't you say you were an unregistered resident? How did you get back? Did they all believe you came back from the dead?"
Qin Yan looked at her affectionately, smiled slightly, and said, "That bunch of scum revoked my death certificate. To prevent me from finding out about them, I've just had a little accident and am back from recuperating abroad."
Qiao Xiao waved her hand, saying it was boring, and turned to leave.
Qin Yan quickly asked, "How can I contact you in the future?"
Qiao Xiao replied calmly, "I came uninvited." After saying that, she disappeared without a trace.
Qin Yan's gaze lingered on the mirror, and the person inside seemed to be asking, "What are you doing, you coward? Just letting her go like that?"
Qin Yan: "I can't keep her. Besides, she doesn't belong to me. She belongs to herself. She is free."
"Hmph, talkative, useless trash."
He was used to the other version of himself in the mirror cursing him. Qin Yan couldn't understand why, despite being in the same body and having the same experiences, he had such completely different personalities.
"Once you've taken your revenge, this body will belong to me, and then you can leave this world."
Qin Yan retorted without hesitation: "You won't live long on your own, Qin Yan."
"I don't need your peeping, you useless piece of trash! Hurry up and find those people to get revenge!"
System notification: "Qin Yan's favorability has increased by 10, and her current favorability is 50."
The bustling atmosphere wasn't limited to the market; it also extended to the leaves in the night breeze.
After finishing his studies, Jiang Yu went to bed to rest. His host family was very kind, and he had plenty of energy to complete his studies without having to worry about anything else.
He had a harmonious relationship with the family, except for their only daughter, Ji Xue, who was just starting junior high school. She was always secretly targeting him, but most of the time, Jiang Yu chose to ignore her.
There was a sealed bag under his pillow containing wrapping paper; it was bread that Yan Rui had given him.
"Why should I keep this?" His cold voice was low and deep.
