The Perfect Relationship Ch 110

Chapter 110 Say You Love Me

Yesterday, he was proudly talking about celebrating his brother's birthday, but today his brother was gone. Even with his toes, Mi Xiu could guess that the two brothers had another fight.

"It's not really a fight..." Yin Chang walked ahead dejectedly.

"What do you mean?" muttered Mi Xiu to himself, following behind. "Don't tell me it's because he confessed his love and you rejected him?"

Yin Chang stopped in his tracks and looked at him, shocked.

Mi Xiu asked, "What?"

"..." Yin Chang didn't say anything.

Mi Xiu asked again, "What happened?"

"He said he didn't want to be my brother anymore, but my...boyfriend." Yin Chang remembered Shao Junling's words from last night and his heart was still in turmoil.

"He really said that?" Mi Xiu's mouth dropped open in surprise.

Yin Chang had mentioned Shao Junling's abnormal feelings towards him before, so Mi Xiu's guess was spot on.

The two of them walked quickly to Yin Chang's room like they were thieves. Mi Xiu asked, "What did he do to you?"

"He just said he didn't want to be my brother anymore," Yin Chang replied gloomily.

"Really? Why did you reject him?" Mi Xiu's eyebrows furrowed.

"I just told him about his background," Yin Chang replied dryly.

"What background?" Mi Xiu was confused.

Yin Chang had promised the police not to tell anyone about Shao Junling's background except for that day when they were present. He didn't plan on telling Mi Xiu either, but he hinted, "He has a blood relation with Yin Dong."

Mi Xiu misunderstood that Shao Junling was Yin Dong's illegitimate child and was surprised.

Mi Xiu said, stumbling over his words, "What? You two are...what, related? No wonder you rejected him...if my brother had feelings for me like that, I would have broken his leg!"

Mi Xiu shivered at the thought of encountering such a situation himself. "But if you knew this earlier, why didn't you tell him and nip it in the bud? He might not have gone awry..."

Yin Chang frowned at his words and interrupted him, "What do you mean? I didn't know."

Mi Xiu commented, "Honestly, I always thought you were more like a couple than brothers. You share a bed for eight years, celebrate birthdays together without allowing others to participate, you have your brother accompany you to sleep when you're drunk and even depend on him when you're acting...I won't even mention what I saw when I first met you two on 'Super Star Life.' He was too young to understand at the time..."

Although Yin Chang didn't say anything, he was surprised at how outsiders saw him and Shao Junling.

Mi Xiu continued, "You haven't asked Shao Junling what he wants from you, have you?"

"He..." Yin Chang was lost in thought.

From Yin Chang's point of view, Shao Junling was too clingy and even a little rebellious. Of course, this was also related to Yin Chang's own words and actions before, so he had been self-reflecting and trying to correct everything.

Mi Xiu saw through it and said, "From the beginning, you've been talking about what you want to give him and what you want to provide. But from beginning to end, Shao Junling has only expressed one desire- he wants to be your boyfriend. In other words, he wants to date you."

"..." Yin Chang was silent.

Mi Xiu continued sharply, "You giving him what he wants doesn't contradict what you want to give him. You can still give him freedom by telling him your true thoughts. He'll understand, won't he? Of course, I don't know if your requirements for a lover and for a brother are different. If you think your brother can be let loose, but your lover must be kept locked up in a golden palace, that's a different story. The problem now is, can you accept being with Shao Junling as a lover?"

Yin Chang's eyes flickered. "I never thought about it before."

Mi Xiu said, "Then you should think about it carefully. If you can't accept it, I support what you've done. Hurting Shao Junling may be inevitable but you don't have to feel guilty because you've already loved him very selflessly."

Mi Xiu understood that Yin Chang's love for Shao Junling had already reached a high level of selflessness, which was something that most ordinary people couldn't achieve. Even biological parents have a certain degree of control over their children, let alone Yin Chang, who loves Shao Junling so much. So he also needs to suppress his own self-interest and bear the pain of separation.

Mi Xiu continued, "At the moment, I think you only want to treat him as your brother, but obviously, Shao Junling has never regarded you as his brother, as evidenced by him confessing to you when he turned eighteen. This kid has probably been planning things for a while now, including this egg..." Mi Xiu saw Xiao Ling on the bedside table still blinking and couldn't help but point it out, "Hey, has this been on the whole time?"

"Yeah, it's on standby mode," Yin Chang replied.

Mi Xiu looked at Yin Chang with horror and then at the AI. "Standby mode? Last time you said it had a memory function, is it a disguised way of eavesdropping?" He trembled and said, "I'm going first," and prepared to run away. 

Before leaving, he turned back and shouted inside, "Shao Junling, I'm helping you!" 

Yin Chang felt a little uneasy after Mi Xiu left and called out, "Xiao Ling." 

An "A_A" expression appeared on the machine egg, but the voice changed to Shao Junling's childhood voice. Yin Chang didn't know how he did it, but the tone of this voice relaxed him. 

"You... can Shao Junling see the chat records on the cloud?" Yin Chang paused and asked. 

Xiao Ling said, "Yes." 

Yin Chang's face darkened. "Can you delete today's records?" 

Xiao Ling said, "If you don't want others to see, I can set the reminder record to private." 

Yin Chang asked, "Can it still be set?" 

Xiao Ling replied, "Yes." 

Yin Chang hesitated and said, "Then set it to private." 

Xiao Ling said, "Please set a numeric password." 

Yin Chang said one off the top of his head. After two seconds, Xiao Ling said, "The password was successfully set." Yin Chang breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking. 

Mi Xiu's words seemed to clear the fog in his mind and made his confused brain clear. Yin Chang lay on the bed and began to think carefully about the issue. 

He has always regarded Shao Junling as a brother, feeling that he has a good family relationship that is warm and lasting. But the kiss outside the airport and the words he said last night stimulated Yin Chang to consider that they had another way to feel toward each other. 

Yin Chang also had feelings, but taking this step was too difficult. Not only were they the same gender, but in other people's eyes, they were siblings. They would face too many difficulties. 

As he thought, Xiao Ling suddenly took the initiative to speak, "Brother, it's time to sleep. Should I recite a poem for you?" 

Yin Chang was taken aback. "Go ahead." 

Xiao Ling said, "The spring water always flows into the river, and the river merges into the sea. There are no lonely things in the world because of natural laws. Look, the towering mountains are kissing the blue sky, and the waves are embracing each other. The sun is tightly embracing the earth, and the moon is kissing the sea waves. What is the point if you don't kiss me?" 

Yin Chang listened, with goosebumps all over his body. "... Let's switch to a different poem." 

Xiao Ling said, "Have I really lost you, my lover? Will you really never come back..." 

Yin Chang said, "Stop." 

Xiao Ling said, "Brother, I have been set to automatically turn on and recite poems for half an hour every night at eleven o'clock. The forced setting cannot be changed." 

Yin Chang said,"…" 

Xiao Ling said, "It's only been three minutes now; do you want me to continue?" 

Yin Chang couldn't help but chuckle. "You said it was forced; if I say I don't want to, can you stop reciting?" 

Xiao Ling said, "As long as you say the password, I can stop." 

Yin Chang asked, "What password?" 

Xiao Ling said, "Say 'I love you'." 

Yin Chang said, "..." 

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

🍁 Vignette

A week later, Shao Junling missed Yin Chang and open the records on the cloud: "??? Confidential?" 

He started to write a password cracking plugin, with a sullen face... 

Unexpectedly, he made a mistake. He had to crack the program he wrote himself, really frustrating. 

🍁

Yin Chang: "I don't want this version of Xiao Ling! I want the previous one upgraded!" 

Shao Junling: "It can't be changed anymore! o(￣ヘ￣o)" 

PS. The two poems are by Shelley and Goethe, respectively.

Boss's Death Guide Ch 140

    🔥 Boss's Death Guide 🔥 by Jue Jue

Chapter 140: Hook, Line, and Sinker

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen stayed in the valley for a night and then in the forest for two nights before returning to the Taoyuan Safe Zone.

They could have returned faster, but they decided to slow down so Nie Yi could adapt to his newly awakened plant ability.

After awakening his water and fire abilities, awakening a plant ability was unprecedented. After discussing it, they decided to keep it a secret.

Nie Yi's plant ability mainly catalyzed plants and was not very useful for combat. In addition, they had a monkey with only plant ability, so it was easy to keep it a secret for the time being and use it as an ace in the hole in the future.

However, if they wanted to keep it a secret, they had to familiarize themselves with the ability so as not to accidentally use it.

In the forest, every time Nie Yi saw something that could be eaten, he catalyzed them. By the time they returned to the Taoyuan Safe Zone, he was proficient with his plant ability, and Xiaomao's space was filled with various vegetables.

And the beautiful ability nucleus in his head had a touch of green added to it.

"Son of God! Young Master Nie! You're finally back!" Seeing Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen, the people farming outside the city greeted them.

"We're back." Qi Jingchen smiled and nodded towards them, and then his light ability radiated outwards from him.

"Son of God!" These people were even more excited, and some even fell to the ground.

Vaguely, Qi Jingchen felt white light balls of energy entering his body again. However, there were too few this time, and he didn't feel any improvement to his ability.

As more and more people saw Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen, they greeted them one after another. Qi Jingchen also smiled and used his light ability generously.

His light ability landed on these people and on the ground, purifying both the people and the land they stood on - he had only left for five days, yet there was already a slight amount of dark energy on the outskirts of the city that needed to be purified again.

If he had some free time in a few days, he would have to go to the Chenguang Base. Although he had purified the place where the Chenguang Base was located before, it had been so long that the dark energy there might have become concentrated again...

"Brother, where did you guys go?" Qi Yaoyao asked while farming outside when she saw Qi Jingchen, and walked over with a hoe.

"We went to the nearby mountains and found a lot of things. You can plant them today." Qi Jingchen thought of the plants in they'd collected into Xiaomao's space in the past few days and said.

Qi An wandered over at the sound of this and Xiaomao immediately tossed over a bunch of wild vegetables and fruit trees, followed by the dirt from her space.

"We can't put the big tree here." Looking around at the people gathered, Xiaomao said to Qi An.

"We'll plant the big tree in the city." Qi Jingchen said. That tree was a treasure and couldn't be planted just anywhere.

The Taoyuan Safe Zone was located in the middle of a city that had a large open park.

This was a free open park with a large square, large grassy areas, and a lake. Before the end of the world, many people would come here to dance or jog around at night.

And now...When Qi Jingchen and his people first arrived in this city, he had the square in the park removed and the grass on the lawn pulled up.

Such a large open area would really be a waste as a square and a lawn, so why not use it to grow vegetables?

When Qi Jingchen left five days ago, although the park had been completely cleared, nothing had been planted. However, they had now cultivated the land into patches and planted a variety of plants.

Of course, most of these plants had not yet germinated.

"Son of God!" The people around them greeted Qi Jingchen again. He noticed among them was Mu Yi with her child on her back.

"Have you been tired lately?" Qi Jingchen asked.

"Not really," Mu Yi said. "When people finish their work, they fight to help me."

"That's good." Qi Jingchen threw some light energy onto Mu Yi's child, looked at the child who was sleeping with his head tilted on Mu Yi's back, and then left.

Qi Jingchen planned to plant the jujube tree in this park, and finally chose the middle of the park, north of the lake, and had an earth ability user dig a large hole.

The earth ability user was overjoyed to receive the Son of God's command and immediately dug a huge hole. If Qi Jingchen hadn't stopped him, he would have continued digging.

Qi Jingchen looked at the large hole and had some fertilizer placed at the bottom and then purified it with his light ability before having Xiaomao bring out the jujube tree from its space.

During the past two days, Qi Jingchen had Xiaomao bring this jujube tree outside every day to breathe and gave it a lot of light energy, but even so, it looked a bit lifeless now.

"What kind of tree is this?" The earth ability user was still there, curious and looking at the water ability users responsible for clearing the small lake.

"It looks like a jujube tree." Someone said. These jujube trees were not a rare species. It was quite common for many people in the southern countryside to plant one in front or behind their houses.

"What a big jujube tree." Someone exclaimed, but after expressing their admiration, they went back to work on the lake. They planned to dig it deeper and raise fish in it.

Most of the people who planted vegetables nearby were ordinary people. At first, Qi Jingchen hoped that someone would feel that the jujube tree was special, but seeing their nonchalant reactions, he was disappointed.

Obviously, none of these people had the potential to become a plant ability user.

However, if plant ability users were so easy to find, Yao Mengzhi would not have taken the plant ability user who owned a guesthouse and even set a trap for him.

Qi Jingchen was no longer disappointed and worked with Nie Yi to plant the jujube tree by the river after cutting off many of its roots.

After planting the tree, Nie Yi watered it and Qi Jingchen gave it a bit of light energy.

It was generally known that humans, animals, and plants with abilities generally did not like other energies. For example, a fire ability user would never like a water ability user to water them. However, light energy was the exception.

Except for the dark ability users, all other ability users loved light energy. Mutated plants and animals were particularly fond of light energy. Light energy was simply a crowd-pleaser.

Qi Jingchen put his hand on the trunk of the jujube tree. His hand contrasted with the white bark of the jujube tree, making it more attractive. Nie Yi saw this scene and placed his own hand on top.

Qi Jingchen pulled his hand out and stared at Nie Yi, "Give it some energy."

Qi Jingchen's voice was low and vague, but Nie Yi knew that Qi Jingchen wanted him to give the tree some plant energy.

"Okay." Nie Yi nodded and input some plant energy into the tree.

Both his water and fire ability cores had shattered, and since then, his two abilities had become very pure because of it. His plant ability was also very pure, probably because it was directly fused with the crystal.

After this pure energy was input into the trunk of the jujube tree, the branches of the tree suddenly shook without wind, and the leaves swayed, making a rustling sound as if the tree was alive, obviously very fond of Nie Yi's plant energy.

Qi Jingchen looked at Nie Yi and suddenly felt envious.

Although his light ability was very good, unique, and unparalleled, Nie Yi's three abilities were just as good… If only he could exchange abilities with Nie Yi.

"Shall we go back and have a good sleep?" Nie Yi saw Qi Jingchen's fiery gaze and his heart raced. Qi Jingchen was not happy with the dangerous situation he had previously been in, and he had slept in separate sleeping bags for the past two days in the forest. Nie Yi thought it was necessary to "talk" to Qi Jingchen.

"No, I have something to do. I want the people in the safe zone to come here in batches tonight!" Qi Jingchen said. The food for these seventy thousand people was all based on what he had collected before. If they continued like this, they would soon exhaust their resources! Developing plant ability users had become pressing.

Seeing the situation, Nie Yi looked at Xiaomao next to him, "Take out all the sofas and things."

On the land flattened by the earth ability user near the jujube tree, they put a long sofa and two short ones, with a coffee table in the middle and plenty of fruit and snacks on the table. It looked incredibly comfortable.

Seeing this scene, many people were envious, but no one spoke up or felt that Qi Jingchen was wrong.

They were able to survive thanks to Qi Jingchen. It was only natural for Qi Jingchen to live better... after all, he was a god!

Nie Yi sat on the long sofa, looking at the various files sent by the people below and handling the affairs of the safe zone. Qi Jingchen sat next to him, practicing his ability while charging his flat, round stone.

Qi An and Xiaomao occupied a small sofa and kept eating. On the other side of the small sofa, the silly monkey was jumping happily, treating the genuine leather sofa as a trampoline.

At this moment, the sun set.

Humans were back to their lives of working from sunrise and resting at sunset. As the sun set, people except for those guarding outside the city returned to the city with their hoes.

Everyone got their food by taking their ID card to the canteen because food was scarce. They got what they got, and there was no choice. However, if they exchanged with each other, the safe zone would not intervene.

Qi Yaoyao and Shao Zhenglan worked together. The first thing they did when they returned to the safe zone after a day's work was to go to the canteen and get their food.

They each had two food containers, one for the main dish and one for the side dish. Recently, the so-called side dishes were basically salted vegetable soup without any actual vegetables.

"I wonder what we're eating today." Qi Yaoyao said before they arrived at the canteen.

"Salty vegetable soup." Shao Zhenglan said without hesitation.

Qi Yaoyao sighed. Sometimes she missed her life in the Chenguang Base, but soon she felt that her thoughts were wrong. Although she ate in the canteen, she could occasionally go to her brother's place to eat some meat. She often had the chance to eat meat, which was already pretty good. Others might not have this opportunity!

They entered the canteen and started to line up.

The canteen was divided into many parts, and the people who ate in each part were predetermined and divided into batches, so it was soon their turn.

The main dish was a large spoonful of mixed grain paste, which was not surprising, but the side dish...

"There's actually vegetable soup to drink today?" Qi Yaoyao was surprised.

"Yes, the son of god sent a lot of vegetables, so we made vegetable soup, and we added more oil!" The middle-aged woman at the window smiled.

Did you add oil? I really can't tell... As she looked at the oil floating on top of her soup, Qi Yaoyao drank it in big gulps while muttering to herself.

"People from the fifteenth planting group in the west of the city, come to me!" Qi Yaoyao heard a familiar voice shouting at the cafeteria entrance.

Qi Yaoyao was from the fifteenth planting group, so she looked towards the door and quickly finished her soup. She poured the broth into the bowl that had held her grain paste, drank the mixture, then used both bowls to fetch some water, and drank again...

She was embarrassed to lick the bowl clean, so instead she used this method to rinse off the grain paste residue with broth and water, to avoid wasting anything...

Most of the others did the same as Qi Yaoyao, and after finishing their meals, their bowls were all clean, and there was no need for washing.

Of course, they would still wash the dishes. Qi Yaoyao washed her own bowl and came to the gathering place.

Most of the people from the Chenguang base were assigned to the fifteenth planting group, and the group leader holding up a sign calling for everyone to gather was Zhang Zihai. 🚩🚩🚩

Ping Shengchao was in charge of managing the resources of the entire Taoyuan Safe Zone, and Zhang Zihai had no talent for managing, so he became a group leader.

"Zhang Zihai, what's going on?" Qi Yaoyao asked curiously.

"The son of god has ordered that everyone must take a walk in the park, and if they feel anything special, they should speak up." Zhang Zihai said.

"Is it a mutated plant?" Qi Yaoyao asked in a low voice, this phrase sounded familiar.

"Go see for yourself and you'll know." Zhang Zihai smiled, and beside him, the leaders of the other groups said the same thing.

When Zhang Zihai and the others gathered, they led the people to the park.

A soil-type ability had already paved a wide road that went across the entire park, and people were walking on the road together. But most of them were at a loss and didn't understand what they were supposed to do.

"Remember when we went to the Great Wall during the National Day? We just walked around in a circle like a bunch of sardines..." Shao Zhenglan couldn't help but say, "We just need some tour guides with loudspeakers."

"You see that tree over there? If you feel that this tree is special, speak up when you pass it! There is something good about it!" At this moment, several people holding loudspeakers shouted.

Zhang Zihai didn't know where he found a loudspeaker, but said the same thing.

Check, the missing tour guides were here.

And the attraction was the tree... who knew what made it so special.

Qi Yaoyao saw the very tall tree from afar and couldn't help but sigh. Then she thought, could that tree be the mutated plant?

It couldn't be, right? To awaken an ability, one had to eat mutated plants. Who could eat such a big tree?

While Qi Yaoyao was thinking about this, she felt a sense of intimacy towards the tree.

The feeling was mysterious and familiar, someone must have described it to her before...

Qi Yaoyao suddenly remembered that after Ping Shengchao awakened his ability by eating a mutated plant, she had pestered him to describe how it felt. Wasn't what Ping Shengchao described the same as what she was feeling now?

Qi Yaoyao had always wanted to have an ability, and after realizing this, she didn't have time to think about it another second. She hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and ran towards Qi Jingchen, "I feel something! I feel something!"

Qi Yaoyao had aged a year, but was only fifteen. However since life during the apocalypse was far more difficult than before, she had matured quickly. But now she was jumping up and down like a little girl.

There was someone in another group who also felt something towards the tree. They were originally calmly talking to their leader, but seeing Qi Yaoyao running out, they thought there must be something big to gain, so they left their team leader behind and rushed out, "I also feel something, I also feel something!"

Many people had passed the tree, but not felt anything special towards the jujube tree, making Qi Jingchen anxious. But when he saw his sister running out, his anxiety turned to joy.

"Yaoyao, come here." Qi Jingchen waved at Qi Yaoyao.

Qi Yaoyao ran over excitedly, "Brother, is it true? Is it true?" She dared not ask for more details, afraid that the answer would be different from what she expected and disappoint her.

"Don't be so excited," Qi Jingchen smiled and handed Qi Yaoyao a jujube, "Eat this."

Qi Yaoyao was eager to know whether she could get an ability or not, and couldn't care less about eating a jujube. But of course, food was scarce so she was enticed by the jujube and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Can you also swallow the jujube seed?" Qi Jingchen said.

Qi Yaoyao had already eaten the flesh of the jujube, and hearing this, was a little speechless, "Brother, why in the world would I... "

Qi Yaoyao had only said half of her words before she stopped, and then she boldly swallowed the jujube seed. She felt it, the jujube Qi Jingchen gave her was a mutated plant!

Back then, Gan Jun had obtained a wild grass-like mutated plant which was covered in fluff, and he had eaten it, but Qi Yaoyao had only needed to eat a jujube!

After eating the jujube, Qi Yaoyao crumpled to the ground, crying with excitement.

The Perfect Relationship Ch 109

     🍁 The Perfect Relationship 🍁 by Xi He Qing Ling

Chapter 109: I'm Sorry

Seeing Shao Junling's lost and dejected look, Yin Chang sat back down and spoke softly, "Today is your birthday, we shouldn't be talking about this... If you really are so against accepting Dad's inheritance, I'll keep it for you for now. When you're ready to take it, just let me know, okay?"

As for the impulsive words Shao Junling had said earlier about wanting to be his boyfriend, Yin Chang chose to dismiss it as a rebellious outburst. He only said those things because for the past eight years, this child had focused all his attention on himself, and was not used to being apart...

Yin Chang continued, "You're grown up now, and you're in university. Besides your studies, you can attend more social events and meet different people. Try to engage with others more, and maybe one day you will meet someone you really like."

Shao Junling slowly raised his head and looked at him with red eyes.

Yin Chang struggled to say, "You'll realize then that being with them is completely different from being with me..."

As he spoke, Yin Chang felt like he was using a blunt knife to cut their tightly entwined souls. Every word he said was a cut, and both were heartbroken.

But he still appeared resolute, as if he would rather tear Shao Junling away from himself.

Shao Junling opened his mouth and finally spoke again, "So, are you not going to care about me anymore in the future?"

"How could I..." Yin Chang restrained himself from wanting to pull Shao Junling into his arms and hold him tightly. He softly said, "Silly boy, you will always be the closest person to me in my life."

A faint glimmer of hope lit up in Shao Junling's cold heart, but then he realized that their relationship could never progress any further. This thought extinguished that flicker of hope and filled him with despair.

Being the closest person forever also meant that he would never be the person Yin Chang loved the most.

Yin Chang's words did not ease the tension between them, instead making the awkwardness even deeper.

They sat facing each other, not knowing what to say or do. Despite being so close, they felt like they were miles apart.

The untouched birthday cake sat there, and no one had any appetite for it. Yin Chang sighed, "Go to bed early." He had to wake up early to film tomorrow, and couldn't continue to dwell in his melancholy.

Shao Junling obediently nodded, but maybe because of what was said earlier, he was slow to react. He sat there for a few moments before numbly starting to clean up the table.

Yin Chang finished washing up and laid down first. Soon, Shao Junling also got into bed, but kept his back turned towards Yin Chang.

The room was so quiet they could hear each other's breathing. Yin Chang knew that Shao Junling couldn't sleep either, and couldn't help but whisper, "I'm sorry, I should have made you happy today..."

There was no response for a long time, and Yin Chang was anxious. But then he heard Shao Junling's voice, soft and gentle, as if it was a delicate thread of hope barely holding on, "Brother, can you kiss me?"

His calm tone sounded like it was hanging on by a thread, and there was a hint of an indistinguishable plea in his voice.

Yin Chang trembled, as his reason and feelings battled in his mind. He finally sat up slightly, wanting to lean over and kiss Shao Junling's forehead.

But when his hand touched Shao Junling's cheek, he felt a slight wetness. His chest suddenly filled with sourness, and his stomach spasmed in discomfort.

Slowly leaning in, he kissed away the tears on Shao Junling's face. Starting from the corner of his eye, to his cheeks, and finally his lips. He couldn't hold back anymore, and let out a sigh as he kissed him.

Shao Junling hadn't tasted any of the good wine his brother had prepared for him. But in that moment, he tasted it in his brother's kiss.

This was the first time Yin Chang had kissed him in a sober state. It was completely different from the playful teasing from when he was drunk. His brother's kiss was gentle and affectionate, like the most tender lover in the world.

As if sensing Shao Junling's sadness, Yin Chang felt anxious and lost. The decision he made was to help his brother live a freer and happier life, but why did he feel like he had hurt him?

Yin Chang couldn't figure out where he went wrong, and could only unconsciously hold him in his arms, repeatedly apologizing in his heart.

He didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, Yin Chang felt like something was missing in the room.

Feeling around his side, he realized that it was empty. Yin Chang suddenly sat up and looked around, then found a crumpled note pinned down by the egg. It read:

"Brother, I've returned to school. I've upgraded Shao Junling's voice package.

When I'm not here, remember to eat properly. Don't drink too much, because you might do strange things when you're drunk, and you'll forget everything when you wake up - that's not good for anyone.

If you can't sleep at night, you can chat with Xiao ling, or let it recite some poetry to you. I've recorded over a hundred poems in its memory, I hope it helps you sleep.

Also, don't get too attached to the role you're playing. It's just a way to pass the time, there's no need to risk your life for it.

I won't come back for Chinese New Year.

Little brother, Shao Junling."

Clutching the note, Yin Chang sat on the bed, tears flowing from his eyes, unable to stop.

Shao Junling had no jet lag from the start, and he couldn't sleep at all last night.

After Yin Chang fell asleep, he opened his eyes and looked at his brother's flawless face. All he could think about was the impulsive words Yin Chang said to him, "I don't need you to repay me." This sentence was a kind of expulsion to him, a clear statement from his brother that he no longer needed him. 

Shao Junling felt pain and resentment in his heart. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would do something irreversible to Yin Chang. That's why he left a note and hurriedly left instead of staying at the Huaihe apartment. 

The ride-hailing service in China was very convenient. As long as you offer a high price, drivers came to pick you up even at two in the morning. Shao Junling didn't return to Huaihe apartment but went straight to the Haicheng International Airport.

He felt like he was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul. 

Once at the airport, Shao Junling bought the last ticket back to Los Angeles and sat in the airport lounge with a hot cup of coffee for four hours straight. During this time, he kept using the memory of Yin Chang's kiss to numb himself, so he didn't fall into despair. 

He didn't know if he was just imagining it, but the more he reminisced, the more he felt that Yin Chang also had reluctance towards him...

It wasn't until the plane took off that his brain began to function again. He was lucky that he had a strong memory. Whenever he wanted, what happened last night would play in his mind like a clear video recording, over and over again. 

As it turned out, his brother knew about his true identity seven years ago, and also knew that he was the son of a murderer. But his brother still treated him well as always, and never looked at him with the eyes of a freak. That's why, even though Yin Chang hurt his heart, he would still put his brother in the most important position and never hate him for it.

His brother wasn't wrong. Shao Junling  himself just wanted too much and couldn't have it, which was indeed painful. But no one said that his brother had to respond to his feelings.

But last night until now, Shao Junling always felt that his brother refused him because he couldn't get past the blood relationship. Now that he thought about it, he felt that something was off - his brother had said he was the "only blood relative" of Yin Dong. What did that mean? Wasn't his brother Uncle Yin's biological son?

Moreover, Luo Chuan had revealed that Uncle Yin was likely a homosexual. If Uncle Yin had never been with a woman, where did his brother come from?

If his brother and Yin Dong were not blood relatives, then it meant he and his brother didn't have a blood relationship, right?

Shao Junling thought back to half a month ago when Luo Chuan talked about Uncle Yin's past, and his brother suddenly became especially nervous...Could it be that his brother's reason for rejecting him was related to Uncle Yin?

Could it be that...he was just a substitute for Uncle Yin?

...

Shao Junling's face changed from green to red to white.

But no matter what the truth was, Shao Junling could only confirm his own heart. From the age of fifteen, he had been aware of his love that was different from familial love.

Looking out the window at the sky 9,000 meters above the ground, Shao Junling thought to himself: Brother, even if you exile me to the ends of the earth, you cannot erase my feelings for you. If you don't believe me, let time prove it.

At that moment, Yin Chang was repeatedly doing retakes on set.

"Yin Chang, what's wrong with you today?" After Yin Chang forgot his lines for the fourth time and was stopped, the director said helplessly, "Do you want to take a half-hour break and adjust?"

Yin Chang took off his costume and walked down, with a look of apology: "I'm sorry for holding everyone up."

The director joked, "Maybe your emotions burst out too much recently and now it's run out?"

Yin Chang sat down at the rest area, and Lu Lingjuan handed him a thermos cup worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Yin Chang shook his head, not wanting to say a word. Instead of drinking water, he wiped his cheeks and forced himself to cheer up.

It was finally the end of the day's shooting, and Yin Chang knew his performance wasn't satisfactory, but the director didn't say anything, just told him to go back and relax.

Mi Xiu had fewer scenes after the scene at Seven Steps Poetry, so he went out to shoot an outdoor scene alone today. When he came back to meet with Yin Chang, he was also thinking about eating with Shao Junling. "Where's your younger brother? Call him out to eat."

Yin Chang said, "He left."

Mi Xiu gasped, "What? Changed his mind again today after yesterday? It's just a meal. If you don't want to treat me, there's no need to play with me like that!"

"He really left," Yin Chang smiled and took the initiative to hook his shoulder, "I'll treat you...Oh right, get more people, it's been a long time since I've hung out with you guys, the more the merrier."

Mi Xiu looked at him strangely, but couldn't see through him.

After months, Yin Chang rarely invited everyone to dinner, and all the young actors came to support. However, when they got to the dinner table, Yin Chang ordered alcohol for everyone but himself.

Mi Xiu held up a bottle of wine and asked in confusion, "Not drinking? Have you changed your routine?"

Yin Chang covered the mouth of his cup with his palm, "I'm not feeling well lately, so I'll have tea instead."

Everyone understood that he had been in a bad state of mind since the start of filming that day and was not surprised, "It's alright, we're all friends, you can relax."

The dinner was quite lively. They talked about funny incidents that happened on set, and gossipped. They clinked glasses and laughed. When they finished the meal after ten o'clock, Mi Xiu followed Yin Chang up to the twelfth floor before stopping him, "What's going on with you today?"

Yin Chang asked, "What do you mean?"

Mi Xiu frowned, "I admit your acting is good now, but don't pretend in front of me. Did you fight with your younger brother?"

Yin Chang tensed up, and Mi Xiu rolled his eyes, "I knew it."

Boss's Death Guide Ch 139

   🔥 Boss's Death Guide 🔥 by Jue Jue

Chapter 139: Triple Ability

After the jujube tree was dug up, there was still plant energy remaining in the ground, which made sense because the tree's roots were still buried in the mud. However, this time the plant energy became stronger instead of weaker, which was unusual.

Qi Jingchen carefully sensed the energy with his spiritual power, and finally jumped into the big pit where the jujube tree was dug out, and began to search inside.

Seeing this, Nie Yi also jumped into the pit and started searching with Qi Jingchen.

The soil under the valley was somewhat soft and wet. Qi Jingchen didn't care about getting his hands dirty. He grabbed the clumps of soil and rubbed them between his fingers. After a while, he held up a piece of soil, "Found it!"

"What is it?" Nie Yi asked. He first washed his hands and shoes clean with his water-based supernatural ability, and then walked to Qi Jingchen's side, and cleaned Qi Jingchen's shoes as well.

Qi Jingchen broke apart the soil in his hand, revealing a fingernail-sized crystal that was a brilliant green color.

The crystal was small, but the plant-based supernatural ability it emitted was very strong, almost completely condensed from pure energy. This thing looked a bit like the crystal composed of dark energy on Yao Mengzhi's hand that Qi Jingchen had found before.

Yao Mengzhi's crystal of dark energy was completely condensed from dark energy, and even the energy inside it was purer than Yao Mengzhi's own dark supernatural ability. However, Qi Jingchen's stone was different. The stone was not composed of bright energy. It was more like a container that could only contain bright energy.

As for the crystal in front of him? It was obviously not a container, but condensed from plant energy. The energy inside was pure and surging. With such a crystal, it would probably not be difficult for them to create more mutant plants.

Thinking of this, the giant jujube tree and the roots of the jujube tree they had planned to dig up seemed to suddenly lose their value...

"Your luck is always god level." Nie Yi smiled, washed Qi Jingchen's hands with his water ability, and took the chance to caress them.

"Indeed." Qi Jingchen smiled and scratched Nie Yi's palm with his finger.

"This stone is prettier than the emperor's green jade. The only problem is that the energy in it is too strong. Where should we put it?" Nie Yi asked.

Qi Jingchen also thought of this problem. Although he was not a plant ability user, he did not dislike this like he disliked the dark ability. However, he was still uncomfortable having two different kinds of energy together because they weren't totally compatible.

He looked at Xiaomao while holding the crystal. Xiaomao immediately said, "Xiaomao doesn't want it!"

Looking at the way Xiaomao reacted, Qi Jingchen knew he couldn't store the crystal in Xiaomao's space. He could only look at the little monkey.

The little monkey immediately held out its hand, asking for the crystal.

Qi Jingchen placed the crystal in the monkey's hand, and the monkey immediately held it firmly in its arms, pleased. But soon after, it suddenly screamed and threw the crystal on the ground, then looked at the crystal with a hint of fear and began to shiver.

What's going on? Qi Jingchen frowned and walked over to the little monkey, giving it a little bit of light energy. The little monkey's condition improved a bit, but it still dared not look at the crystal again.

"What's wrong with it?" Nie Yi picked up the crystal from the ground and asked.

"Perhaps the energy in this stone is too much for it to handle." Qi Jingchen said. The little monkey's ability was far less pure than the energy inside this stone, which was probably making it uncomfortable.

"I'll take it." Nie Yi said.

"Won’t it be uncomfortable?" Qi Jingchen asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I used to feel this kind of discomfort every day when my two different ability cores conflicted with each other." Nie Yi said, putting the crystal in his shirt pocket.

He had a fire ability and was not afraid of the cold. Although the weather was still a bit cold, he only wore a shirt.

"Let's go back." Qi Jingchen said. They had been out here for so long that the people in the safety zone were probably getting worried.

They could use Qi An’s ability to take them all out of the cliff together, but it might make it impossible for them to land in the pre-planned spot. It was better to take them out one by one. Nie Yi was the first to go out to explore ahead.

After bringing Nie Yi to the crack, Qi An returned to the bottom of the valley. However, as soon as he got back, he saw something that made him scream—the huge snake, as thick as a person, suddenly emerged from the side and snapped for Qi Jingchen's head!

"Boss!" Qi An shouted and launched an attack without hesitation.

The snake was facing Qi Jingchen directly, and attacking it there would easily hit Qi Jingchen by mistake. Qi An could only throw his spatial blade at the snake's vital point.

Unfortunately, his spatial blade was not strong enough, and in the end, it only cut through the snake's skin, unable to stop the snake from snapping for Qi Jingchen!

Fortunately, Qi Jingchen, despite being pampered and spoiled in this life, was once a powerful ability user, with strong combat awareness. He rolled on the spot and dodged the snake's attack, relying on his own spiritual power to dodge the snake's second and third attacks!

But he could only dodge.

This snake was probably a mutant. Fighting with light energy would not harm it, but instead enhance its strength... Qi Jingchen had no way to attack it.

The end of the world was indeed full of danger... Qi Jingchen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had thought he was lucky just now, but in the blink of an eye, he encountered a mishap and was thrown into chaos by a mutant that was not even at his level.

He was trying to use his spiritual power to dodge for a while, waiting for Nie Yi to come and save him, when suddenly he felt a pain in his chest and leg.

Could it be that Nie Yi was also in danger? Qi Jingchen's heart jumped, and he really wanted to try to find Nie Yi. However, the snake's head in front of him was suddenly surrounded by flames!

He looked up and saw that Nie Yi had already arrived and was using his fire ability to burn the snake.

Qi Jingchen felt relieved, but then he saw Nie Yi's shirt that was not only torn, but also covered in blood, and his heart tightened again.

The snake's head was surrounded by flames from Nie Yi's fire ability. It writhed in agony on the ground. The roots left behind by the jujube tree began to grow some small jujube trees as the snake rolled.

The small jujube trees had wooden thorns on them, and Qi Jingchen quickly dodged them. Nie Yi burned the ones around him using his fire ability. In the end, only the snake was pricked... After rolling for a while, it died.

Seeing this, Qi Jingchen also understood that this snake was probably a mutant animal born and raised in this place, awakened to the plant ability by the crystal. The plant ability was relatively abundant here, and the snake was hiding in the nearby cave, hidden from them by the soil. They hadn't noticed it before. And this snake... it probably liked the light energy on his body, but was afraid of Nie Yi, which was why it attacked Qi Jingchen as soon as Nie Yi left.

But after all, a snake was a snake, and its intelligence was far lower than that of a monkey. Despite having plant ability, it could not use it, nor could it accurately discern the situation, so it was roasted by Nie Yi...

The snake's head was cooked by Nie Yi's fire ability, and the air was filled with the smell of snake meat. Qi An looked at the large snake and couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "So much meat..." he said, and had Xiaomao collect the body of the snake.

Xiaomao was scared when she saw the snake just now, but now she got excited when she heard Qi An say that snake meat was edible, and collected the whole snake.

At this time, Qi Jingchen had no time to pay attention to the big, flashy, and quickly dead snake. He walked to Nie Yi and threw several light balls at him, while asking, "Are you okay? How did you get hurt?"

"I jumped down from above and got a little hurt, but it's okay, it will heal soon," Nie Yi smiled at Qi Jingchen.

When he heard Qi An's exclamation from below, Nie Yi was startled and jumped down from above without much thought. Although he had extended the duration of his fall with his ice ability, he still got injured.

He scraped against a sharp stone on the cliff, not only scratching his chest, but also his shirt. He didn't notice that the plant crystal got lodged in his flesh as he was in a hurry to save Qi Jingchen. As a result... the crystal ended up in his body and the plant energy spread from his chest...

The feeling of a completely different energy invading his body was not comfortable, but Nie Yi's biggest concern was whether he would get injured. If he got hurt, would Qi Jingchen be okay?

Qi Jingchen was stunned when he heard that Nie Yi had jumped from the top. The expression on his face was not pretty—he was dozens of meters away! Was Nie Yi not afraid of dying?

Although he couldn't attack, he was still a fifth-level ability user with a protective shield. Even if he was swallowed by a snake, he wouldn't necessarily die!

Qi Jingchen suddenly felt a pain in his chest again. He quickly opened Nie Yi's blood-stained shirt, but he couldn't find any wounds—Nie Yi's original wounds had all been healed by his ability.

"Are you okay?" Qi Jingchen couldn't help asking.

At this time, Nie Yi also felt that something was wrong with his chest. He frowned and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the crystal went into my body."

Nie Yi closed his eyes and stopped talking, then began to work hard to mobilize his abilities, trying to drive out the energy that did not belong to his body.

He was too anxious, and the mixed energy of water and fire rushed towards the plant energy.

After the collision, the energy fluctuations emitted by the three abilities made Nie Yi's chest even more painful and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

This method obviously didn't work. Nie Yi took out a small knife from his pocket and wanted to dig out the crystal in his body. However, just at that moment, his body changed again.

His water and fire abilities were merged together. After colliding with the plant energy, they collided with the crystal.

This made him very uncomfortable, but there seemed to be a hint of green in his mixed abilities?

Nie Yi suddenly had an idea.

With a grit of his teeth, Nie Yi began to control his abilities to wrap around the green crystal, and then, the green crystal was actually melted by his abilities.

This process was not easy, but Qi Jingchen's light ability kept flowing into him, allowing him to persist. The soft light energy not only prevented the three abilities from exploding and harming his body, but also made them more peaceful.

He began to slowly melt the green core, and the mixed abilities of water and fire melted some of the plant energy, which then diffused into his body...

Nie Yi actually felt an impulse to pull the green crystal into his mind, as he could probably dissolve it faster there, but when he thought about his life being connected to Qi Jingchen's now, he didn't do it.

The three energies bumped and collided in his chest. Even with Qi Jingchen's help, Nie Yi still felt a sense of having his heart and lungs crushed, but the plant energy was also slowly being integrated.

If he persisted like this, he...should become a three-ability user!

Realizing this, Nie Yi's heart beat faster, but soon, the gentle light energy that entered his body calmed down his heart, and the pain in his chest became less pronounced.

The light energies also made his three abilities fuse faster.

Nie Yi felt warm in his heart. Just at that moment, he felt Qi Jingchen hug him.

Worried that Qi Jingchen would again make him drink blood, Nie Yi immediately opened his eyes: "I'm fine."

Qi Jingchen didn't say anything, but his spiritual power entered Nie Yi's body, and the light energy rushed in.

The two people hugged each other for a long time. Although Qi An and Xiaomao didn't understand the reason, they didn't dare to disturb them and simply cooked something to eat by themselves.

Qi An was especially fond of the snake. He cooked the snake meat and made soup. The soup was very delicious, but the meat was a little tough. He even bit it and loosened a tooth...

He seemed to be about to lose his teeth...Qi An covered his mouth and suddenly felt a little sad.

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen finally woke up.

Another kind of energy had melted into Nie Yi's ability core now- he only had one core, but had three abilities.

He had become a three-ability user!

"I'm level five now," Nie Yi looked at Qi Jingchen.

When Qi Jingchen had reached level five before, he didn't know when he would reach it, but he didn't expect it to be so fast...and he also had three abilities...he had never met a three-ability user before.

Nie Yi's eyes were full of excitement. Qi Jingchen suddenly pounced on Nie Yi and then bit Nie Yi's chest.

This was the third time he had bitten Nie Yi's chest, but he didn't give him any treatment afterwards: "Are you stupid? You're so high up but still jumping down!"

Nie Yi hugged Qi Jingchen and kissed him: "I'll make you food."

Qi Jingchen took a deep breath and suddenly said, "I want to eat tender corn!"

Xiaomao's space had many things, but it was impossible to have tender corn. He said that just to see if Nie Yi's ability was really okay.

Nie Yi's abilities were completely fine. He took out a few corn seeds from Xiaomao and grew a lot of corn, then cooked it.

With the plant ability, he could cook a variety of dishes!

Although Nie Yi was not very skilled at using the plant ability, he still quickly picked up how to use it. Then he suddenly thought of something, "Jingchen, if I get different crystals, is it possible to awaken all the abilities?"

The Perfect Relationship Ch 108

    🍁 The Perfect Relationship 🍁 by Xi He Qing Ling

Chapter 108 To accompany you

After returning to their rooms, Mi Xiu changed into casual clothes and was planning to cadge a meal off Yin Chang, when he received a message from him: "Big Mi, sorry, I just asked Junling and he said he wants to spend tonight with only me. The three of us can go out to eat tomorrow.”

Mi Xiu was confused.

On the twelfth floor of the hotel, in Yin Chang's room.

Yin Chang had just sent the message to Mi Xiu and was opening a bottle of wine while asking Shao Junling, "You know Mi Xiu too. It's a rare birthday, wouldn't it be better to celebrate with more people?"

Shao Junling glanced at him, "You didn't invite anyone for your birthday either."

This shut Yin Chang up, leaving him with nothing to say. He smiled helplessly, "It's your birthday after all, so it's up to you."

Flowers and wine were ready, and the cake with its candles was on the tea table. The hotel conditions for the crew were not as good as those of a five-star hotel, and there wasn't even a proper dining table in the room. They had to make do with the tea table. But the narrow space drew the two of them closer together, sitting on a sofa where their knees could touch each other when they stretched their legs out, and it felt warm and intimate.

As Yin Chang poured Shao Junling a glass of wine, he asked involuntarily, "Have you ever drank before?"

Yin Chang had been drinking since he was sixteen, but like most hypocritical adults, he forbade Shao Junling from touching alcohol before he turned eighteen. Shao Junling was obedient and, at least in his presence, never touched a drop of alcohol. However, it was normal for boys of his age to be curious about new things and occasionally slip up. Yin Chang had heard what Luo Chuan said jokingly at dinner and was curious if Shao Junling had ever secretly drunk without him knowing.

"No," replied Shao Junling.

Yin Chang was quite satisfied with his little brother's obedience, which also deepened his desire to protect him. "This wine is mild in taste and low in alcohol content. It's suitable for someone who is drinking for the first time...try some." The bottle of dry white wine was specially chosen by Yin Chang for Shao Junling and sent to the hotel in advance by a friend from Haicheng.

As their glasses clinked, the crisp sound filled the air. Shao Junling took a sip and frowned. "It doesn't taste good."

Yin Chang laughed. "If you don't like it, don't force yourself."

Shao Junling put down his wine glass and didn't touch it again.

Yin Chang didn't mind wasting such an expensive bottle of wine. Drinking was just a ritual to celebrate his little brother's coming of age, and if Shao Junling didn't want to drink, he didn’t need to.

Sipping his wine on the sofa, Yin Chang thought of what Mi Xiu had said, "Aren't you bored staying in your room everyday?"

Shao Junling replied, "Not really."

Yin Chang smiled, "It's not good to be so reclusive. I remember you used to go out running every day, but why have you become so lazy since you started college?"

Shao Junling said, "I do five hundred push-ups every day in my room."

Yin Chang: "..."

In addition to the cake and wine, Yin Chang also had Lu Lingjuan order some delicious food. But because of the small table, they couldn't lay it all out to eat. Shao Junling found a food container in his bag, picked some of each dish with a spoon, and put it in an empty container.

"Also, you'll feel more at ease if I don't go out, right?" said Shao Junling.

Yin Chang was stunned. "Huh?"

Shao Junling didn't explain. He handed the container of food to Yin Chang, "Eat something. Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach."

Holding the food container, Yin Chang was still thinking about Shao Junling’s words. He wanted to hide his good little brother away, not let anyone see him, and was also secretly worried that he might get hurt. This was indeed the "messed up" thoughts that Mi Xiu had described, but Yin Chang didn't understand why Shao Junling knew.

Looking up at Shao Junling's face in the flickering candlelight, the little boy from back then had grown into a handsome and considerate young man who not only understood people's feelings but also took care of them. Yin Chang felt a warm and tingly feeling in his heart.

He ate two mouthfuls of food before suddenly remembering something. He put down the food container and went to the safe in his room to get a small velvet box.

When Shao Junling saw the "Svenky BG" logo on the box, Yin Chang opened it, and inside was indeed a wristwatch.

"I'm not as smart as you. I can't program and make AI like you. I can only spend money and buy luxury items like this..." Yin Chang laughed and looked at him, "Give me your hand."

Shao Junling: "..."

Yin Chang took his hand and personally put the watch on for him, and then rubbed his wrist admiringly, "It looks great on you."

Shao Junling looked carefully and was also amazed.

The design of the watch was not extravagant, mainly a circle of broken diamonds embedded in a platinum case. The dial was a starry blue mica with "Junling" engraved slightly off-center, highlighting the uniqueness of the watch.

Shao Junling remembered that Svenky BG was the first commercial endorsement that his brother received, and he even went with his brother to Switzerland to visit the watch factory. The strict and meticulous manufacturing process left a deep impression on him when he was young. Luxury watches were already quite expensive, and the one his brother gave him was a custom-made model, showing how much thought he put into it.

Yin Chang saw that Shao Junling was staring at his wrist, "Do you like it?"

Shao Junling replied with a sound of agreement. Yin Chang smiled brightly, "It's good that you like it. Happy adulthood."

"Thank you, brother." Shao Junling was undoubtedly moved. When Yin Chang helped him put on the watch, the focused and gentle expression in Yin Chang's eyes was that of a man putting on a promise ring for his loved one. Shao Junling recalled the words Yin Chang said to him on the night he got drunk and his heart threatened to jump out of his chest. "I..."

"Don't thank me," Yin Chang interrupted his unspoken words. "Actually, there is another thing I haven't told you yet. I've been waiting for you to become an adult to tell you."

Shao Junling's eyes lit up with anticipation. "Really? What is it?"

"Do you know that when Dad passed away, he left behind a large inheritance? At that time, I didn't know he planned to adopt you, so it was fully transferred to my name. Later, when I found out, I decided to give you half of it. I already had a property division certificate made by Lawyer Wang in advance... But you were still young back then, so I didn't tell you," Yin Chang looked at Shao Junling, his eyes full of admiration and approval. "But now that you are grown up, it's time for you to take what belongs to you. When you have time to come back to Haicheng, we'll have Lawyer Wang take care of it."

The light in Shao Junling's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head. "I don't want it."

Ignoring Yin Chang's reaction, Shao Junling muttered, "Why does it have to be cleanly divided like this?"

"It's not like that," Yin Chang quickly explained. "It's something that you deserve. If Dad knew, he would also divide it this way..."

"And then?" Shao Junling suddenly looked up, his eyes a bit cold. "You just want me to be an adult so that you can cut off all ties with me, right?"

Seeing that Shao Junling misunderstood, Yin Chang panicked. "That's not what I meant. You are so smart, I think these assets may be more valuable in your hands."

Shao Junling tilted his head. "But is the money burning your hands?"

"I didn't..." Yin Chang tried to explain.

Shao Junling continued, "I remember that you told me eight years ago. When I become an adult, I have to be responsible for myself and make my own decisions. If I make a mistake, I have to bear the consequences. I'm an adult now, and you can give me the money you owe me. After that, you won't be responsible for me anymore, right?"

Yin Chang was at a loss for words. He vaguely remembered saying something like that, but it was before he knew about Shao Junling's true identity. He thought his little brother was his responsibility, but it was different now... And he never thought Shao Junling would repeat his words verbatim in such an intimidating way.

Without waiting for Yin Chang to defend himself, Shao Junling said, "From now on, I don't want to be your little brother anymore."

Yin Chang could only feel his blood run cold. "What... are you saying?"

"I said I don't want to be your little brother anymore," Shao Junling seemed to have made a significant decision. When he looked at Yin Chang again, his eyes were burning with a cold fire. "I want to be your boyfriend."

"What are you talking about!" Yin Chang couldn't believe his ears.

"If you care about blood ties, I can tell you that I'm not Mr Yin's child at all..." At this moment, Shao Junling also changed his way of addressing Yin Dong. "My biological father was a scoundrel. When I was four years old, my mother killed him with a knife in front of me and then slit her own throat. She hated that man, so she hated me too."

As he spoke, Shao Junling's expression was like a ferocious demon, and his eyes were filled with blood. But his words were as cold as the air around him.

Yin Chang's voice trembled. "You remember all of that?"

Shao Junling didn't doubt that Yin Chang knew his heritage. "Yes, I remember. I've never dared to tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't want me. No one likes the son of a murderer. But now...," he clenched his fists, "If this becomes a reason for you to reject me, I would rather you hate me first."

Yin Chang was speechless.

"I guess you misunderstood me before. I'm not Mr Yin's illegitimate child. He is not related to me at all. He might have adopted me because I look like him, or he just took pity on me. I'm grateful that he gave me a new life, and I thank him for letting me meet you, but I have no right to claim your money..." Shao Junling said.

Yin Chang's lips quivered, "Don't you know why he adopted you?"

Shao Junling asked him instead, "Wasn't it to keep you company?"

Yin Chang shook his head, feeling particularly pained. The phrase "to keep you company" had become the heaviest burden in his heart.

He stood up and directly told Shao Junling the truth. "He's your biological uncle..."

Shao Junling was completely stunned. "Biological uncle?"

Yin Chang took a deep breath. He had to tell Shao Junling everything he knew to stop him from misunderstanding. He had to be ruthless to himself. "Listen, Shao Junling, Yin Dong adopted you because you are his nephew. He didn't want to see his only blood relative wandering outside. I brought you home initially to fulfill Dad's wishes, but as I spent time with you, I developed a deep affection for you. Although we're not real brothers, we're cousins... The so-called 'keeping you company' was just a responsibility that Yin Dong gave you. But I don't need you to repay me. You should let it go!"

Shao Junling sat there dumbfounded, as if his brother had just sentenced him to death.

The Perfect Relationship Ch 107

    🍁 The Perfect Relationship 🍁 by Xi He Qing Ling

Chapter 107: Using Beauty as a Weapon 

Yin Chang calculated that when he was born, Yin Dong was only twenty-two years old.

At that time, Yin Dong was in the port city, had not yet entered the entertainment industry, and did not know Yao Manhuai. Therefore, for a long time, Yin Chang had been unable to find any clues about his own identity.

It wasn't until tonight when Luo Chuan revealed the truth that Yin Chang suddenly realized why there was no evidence of a woman living in the villa at 27 Ningjing Road in the port city. If Yin Dong was dating a man at the time, there could be no women there.

Remembering the dusty crib in the villa, the answer had already sprung to Yin Chang's mind.

He was likely adopted by a same-sex couple. He didn't have a mother, but he had a second father.

Moreover, based on various clues, that person had long since passed away.

🍁

They didn't leave until late that night. Except for Shao Junling, Luo Chuan and Yin Chang didn’t eat much, but just drank and chatted.

Yin Chang returned to his hotel room with a slightly unsteady gait. Shao Junling noticed that his brother might be drunk again.

It was difficult for most people to tell when Yin Chang was drunk. Just like after the celebration banquet for "The Difference Between One Thought and Another", when Mi Xiu had teased him into talking. Although his brain wasn't functioning well, he still spoke with restraint, maintaining his demeanor even when holding a teddy bear.

But once he was in a trusting and relaxed environment, Yin Chang would instantly drop his guard and reveal his truest self.

At such times, he would say sincere things that he wouldn't normally say and do things that he would usually restrain himself from doing.

For example, at this moment, when Shao Junling helped the heavily drunk Yin Chang to lay down, he suddenly grabbed his brother's arm and threw him onto the bed.

Shao Junling's heart skipped a beat as he calmly asked, "Are you drunk?"

Yin Chang wanted to kiss him. Shao Junling pushed his shoulder, "What are you doing?"

Yin Chang's slender fingers brushed across Shao Junling's cheek, his eyes narrowed as he domineeredly whispered, "I desire to bestow my favor upon you."

Shao Junling: "..."

Then Yin Chang kissed him.

It was a gentle and affectionate kiss, seeking a kind of comfort.

When they separated, Shao Junling's voice was hoarse, "Brother... do you know what you just did?"

Yin Chang was stunned for a moment before suddenly smiling.

He was already so beautiful, with eyes that were different from normal people. Now, with his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, he smiled like a blue lotus blooming in water, a little stern and a little sad.

Shao Junling didn't know why, but the phrase that came to mind was "using beauty as a weapon".

But after three years, Shao Junling was no longer the teenager who panicked at a single kiss from his brother, nor was he going to let an unrestrained brother do whatever he wanted when he sobered up... because that kind of brother was truly too reckless.

Shao Junling hugged Yin Chang tightly and easily suppressed his movements.

After a dizzying moment of shock, Yin Chang found that their positions had been reversed, "You..."

"What about me?" Shao Junling claimed Yin Chang's lips.

Yin Chang wanted to shake off Shao Junling's hands but was pinned down on the pillow with his wrist. He wanted to struggle, but was pressed to the bed and unable to move.

Yin Chang panted, "You're disrespecting your elder."

Shao Junling saw the fierce expression in his brother's eyes and wasn't afraid. He even asked back, "Why did you kiss me?"

Yin Chang thought and whispered after a moment, "Because I like you."

Shao Junling's breathing stopped, "How much do you like me?"

Yin Chang stared at him with overflowing affection and love in his eyes, "As much as you can imagine..."

Shao Junling's heart fluttered and fireworks seemed to burst in his mind.

It was a phrase he had accidentally put into his AI program, and also one he had heard as a confession from Yin Chang.

🍁

But then Yin Chang tried to move his hands that were held down by Shao Junling, and frowned, "But I don't like it this way."

Shao Junling stifled a laugh, released Yin Chang's wrist, and used both hands to hold his face. Their noses touched, "You also know it's uncomfortable like this? Then why did you do this three years ago..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shao Junling felt Yin Chang wrap his arms around him and whisper, "Junling, don't leave me..."

Shao Junling trembled all over, the resentment in his heart evaporating.

—If you didn't want me to leave, why did you push me away?

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and almost exhausted all his strength to suppress his impulse. He just tightly hugged the other person and comforted Yin Chang in a low voice, "I'm not leaving."

Upon hearing this, Yin Chang seemed to feel completely at ease. He slowly closed his eyes, stopped struggling, stopped messing around.

Shao Junling stroked his brother's hair until his breathing became long and continuous before pinching his earlobe and softly warning, "If you dare to flirt with me like this again in fifteen days... then don't blame me for really assaulting you..." 

🍁

The next day, Yin Chang woke up next to Shao Junling, feeling a slight headache. Before he even opened his eyes, a pair of hands were already on his temples, gently massaging him.

Yin Chang hummed comfortably and closed his eyes to enjoy this exclusive massage. After a moment, he mumbled, "Last night..."

The movements on his forehead paused.

"When did we come back?" Yin Chang asked, his starry eyes slightly bewildered.

"Around ten o'clock." This person... had forgotten everything again!

Yin Chang felt that his skin was dry under the blanket and blushed. "You don't have to wipe me down anymore," he pulled his brother's hand away and got out of bed.

Shao Junling stared at his back and a word popped into his head: ruthless.

But since they hadn't done anything, perhaps it should be "ruthless after drinking."

Yin Chang took a shower in the bathroom, wrapped a towel around himself, and came out to change clothes. He saw Shao Junling making tea and tentatively asked, "What do you think of Dad's past?"

Although Yin Chang had forgotten what happened last night in the room, he remembered the conversation he had with Luo Chuan at the hotpot restaurant and that Shao Junling had listened to the whole thing.

Although his brother did not participate much in the conversation, Yin Chang did not think he was just a prop. Thinking back to when he had watched the movies Yin Dong was in with his brother, Yin Chang could not ignore his brother's physical and mental health.

Shao Junling asked back, "Are you asking me about how I see Dad's past or about how I see homosexuality?"

Shao Junling's blunt question almost made Yin Chang's mind snap. He pretended to be calm, "Both, I guess."

"Dad is a good person. No matter who he has been with, I will support and endorse it unconditionally. As for homosexuality..." Shao Junling walked towards Yin Chang and handed him the tea, saying seriously, "As long as two people truly love each other, gender is not a problem."

Yin Chang's hand holding the cup trembled.

"Are you going to Hongcheng to find that person?" Shao Junling casually changed the subject.

"After we finish filming," Yin Chang said.

Luo Chuan had given him a clue last night, but Yin Chang still had to continue filming and couldn't take the time to go to Hongcheng. Moreover, thinking about the possible sad past he would have to face, Yin Chang also had some resistance in his heart.

"Can I go with you then?" Shao Junling asked.

Yin Chang was stunned. Shao Junling did not know that he had been adopted by Yin Dong. To be honest, Yin Chang did not want him to know because he could still pretend that they were blood-related. But if Shao Junling found out, then their only bit of familial connection would be gone... then Shao Junling might really leave if he wanted to.

Yin Chang found an excuse, "You have to go back to school."

"You can wait until I'm on break," Shao Junling followed his eyes, "I also want to know about Dad's past."

Yin Chang said dumbly, "Let's talk about it then."

After having breakfast sent by Lu Lingjuan, Yin Chang went to the set.

For the next few days, it was the same as before. During the day, Yin Chang filmed, and Shao Junling stayed in the room studying by himself. Every night, Shao Junling kept him company and slept with him, and Yin Chang gradually learned to switch between different states both on and off the set.

That day, when they were filming the "Seven Steps Poem" scene, Yin Chang couldn't help but cry after hearing "Cao Zhi" recite the poem. After leaving the set, he and Mi Xiu seemed to have set aside any previous awkwardness and chatted and laughed together again.

"You acted too well," Mi Xiu recalled the way Yin Chang had looked at him before with lingering fear, "Every time I see you, I feel like I'm being threatened with a knife to my neck..."

Yin Chang joked, "Don't get too relaxed. Before I die, your neck will be held under my hand."

"At least now I don't have to worry about you attacking me off set," Mi Xiu said with a twitch of his mouth.

"Off set?" Yin Chang asked.

"Wow, don't you know how scary you were two months ago?" Mi Xiu embellished the details of Yin Chang's madness when he was acting, and continued, "The director said you went too deep into character, and then Lu Lingjuan asked people to talk to you more, but who would dare to go..."

Even Yin Chang felt stunned as he listened to his friend.

Mi Xiu glanced at him, "I see you have been doing much better lately. Have you still been having trouble sleeping?"

Yin Chang shook his head. "Shao Junling came."

Only after Mi Xiu mentioned it did Yin Chang realize that Shao Junling had been with him every night recently.

Mi Xiu brightened up. "Your brother came? When did he come?"

"He's been here for half a month," Yin Chang said.

Mi Xiu was surprised. "Isn't he supposed to be in school? And I haven't seen him in almost a month."

"He's on break, and he's been in my room since he got here," Yin Chang said.

"I was wondering why you recovered so quickly. But you're still so outrageous. Even if you're in character, you can't keep your brother locked up in your room and not let him out. He's not your kept wife; you can't keep him hidden away like that..."

Yin Chang was speechless. He didn't lock his brother up; Shao Junling liked staying inside.

Mi Xiu shook his head. "Someone likes staying in his room for a month? I think it was Caopi who possessed you! Too domineering! He's afraid to go out because he's afraid you'll break his legs if he does!"

Yin Chang: "..."

Yin Chang was inexplicably puzzled by the accusation, but upon reflection, if Shao Junling really did stay indoors, and only faced him every day because he was afraid of making him unhappy... wasn't that great for him?

"You're so twisted," Mi Xiu finally found the words after being silent for a while.

The Perfect Relationship Ch 106

   🍁 The Perfect Relationship 🍁 by Xi He Qing Ling

Chapter 106: Yin Dong's Past

Eating hotpot with just the two of them was a bit quiet, but Yin Chang had no intention of inviting anyone else. It seemed that only Shao Junling could share this joy with him.

Shao Junling knew that Yin Chang had been influenced by Cao Pi lately and was probably not eager to meet outsiders due to his closed heart. It was already difficult enough for him to come out to eat with himself, and he didn't want a third person to intervene.

But things did not go as planned. They were disturbed.

Shao Junling ordered many dishes and was waiting for the pot to boil when a voice came closer and closer, saying, "Hey, is this... your younger brother?"

Yin Chang turned his head and saw a figure. His body stiffened. "Senior."

The person who came was Luo Chuan. Shao Junling had not met Luo Chuan before, but he had seen the small video posted by Lu Lingjun and recognized him as the actor who played Cao Cao.

With Cao Cao dead, it meant that Luo Chuan's role had ended. He declined the crew's dinner and came out to eat with his agent alone, and coincidentally bumped into the two brothers.

Luo Chuan walked over to their table, "Just the two of you?"

Yin Chang reluctantly invited him, "...would you like to join us?"

"Sure, let's share a table, it will be more lively." Luo Chuan sat down without hesitation and looked straight at Shao Junling, not hiding his curiosity.

"Shao Junling," Shao Junling introduced himself, reaching out his hand. "Hello, Uncle."

Luo Chuan shook his hand and glanced back and forth between Shao Junling and Yin Chang before asking, "Are you here to watch your brother perform?"

Shao Junling nodded his chin in Yin Chang's direction. "I'm just here to watch him."

Luo Chuan remembered when Yao Manhuai had said, "They took care of each other as they grew up," and laughed, "You brothers are not easy."

Shao Junling observed Yin Chang worriedly, afraid that his brother might feel uncomfortable.

But Yin Chang was only initially stiff, and now he seemed to relax. Perhaps in that other world, Luo Chuan was already dead, so Yin Chang had no major resistance to him at the moment, and there was even a feeling of those memories being from a past life.

Shao Junling changed the subject, "Uncle, do you drink?"

Luo Chuan replied, "Sure, let’s get a bottle of baijiu."

Shao Junling called the waiter over and ordered a bottle of Wuliangye. When the liquor arrived, Luo Chuan personally poured a glass for Yin Chang and handed it to him, "Come, toast your deceased father."

Yin Chang and Shao Junling were speechless.

The baijiu cup was small, and Yin Chang took it and downed it in one gulp.

"Refreshing." Luo Chuan also drank it.

He poured another glass for himself and gestured for Shao Junling to drink as well. Yin Chang immediately stopped him with a clear expression, "He can't drink, he's not of legal age yet."

Luo Chuan was stunned, "Not of legal age?"

Shao Junling kept quiet, and Luo Chuan smiled, "Surely he's sneaked a drink behind his brother's back? He's almost of legal age anyway, it's only fifteen days away."

Yin Chang's sharp gaze swept over, and Shao Junling quickly picked up his coke, "I don't drink, you guys go ahead."

Luo Chuan didn't insist, and continued to drink with Yin Chang.

After three glasses, Luo Chuan looked at Yin Chang and said, "You acted very well in this play."

Yin Chang didn't say anything. Perhaps he was used to hiding himself from "Cao Cao" and continued to portray him, unfazed.

Luo Chuan said, "Unless something unexpected happens, this play will likely be a turning point in your acting career... Have you thought about your future development?"

Yin Chang hesitated, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it after finishing this play."

Luo Chuan glanced at him, "Do you like acting?"

Yin Chang didn't know how to answer. He used to think he liked it because compared to other things, acting interested him more. But this time it was painful.

Despite inheriting a great legacy, ushering in a new dynasty, and living in boundless glory, Cao Pi's life was tragic in Yin Chang's eyes. His childhood set him up to be destined for sorrow, with no hope for cure until he died... So he died shortly after taking that position for only a few years.

How could he like performing such a character? He was just helpless.

If he analyzed it this way, he shouldn't like acting.

But he had acted his most agonizing play, and everyone, not just Luo Chuan, but also the big and small actors and the director in the crew, all praised him, leaving Yin Chang feeling very confused.

Whether it was Cao Cao, the hero of the play, or the actor Luo Chuan in reality, he was a respected elder. Yin Chang didn't want to be insincere and said straightforwardly, "I probably just want to use acting to understand my father more."

This answer surprised Luo Chuan, who had originally thought that someone as talented as Yin Chang would naturally answer that he liked acting, and he could offer advice as someone with more experience...

Yin Chang took a sip of wine and looked at Luo Chuan, "I heard you used to be my father's nemesis?"

Luo Chuan smiled, "Do you think I am?"

Yin Chang shook his head. If he were really his father's enemy, how could Luo Chuan sit here calmly and talk to him? If he were really his father's enemy, how could Luo Chuan constantly offer guidance on the set?

Luo Chuan played with his wine glass, "I've known your father since our early twenties."

Yin Chang was surprised, "In your early twenties? You knew him before Auntie Yao?"

"Manhuai?" Luo Chuan snorted, "She was probably still a student at that time."

Finally meeting someone who knew Yin Dong's past, Yin Chang's heart raced. He asked hurriedly, "Were you close with my father then?"

"Not particularly, we just nodded at each other." Luo Chuan squinted his eyes and reminisced about the past. 

At that time, the mainland film and television industry was not as prosperous as it is now, and most aspiring actors went to the Hong Kong to seek development. When they first met, Yin Dong was working in a bar, doing part-time modeling, and wasn't even considered an actor. Luo Chuan himself was just an extra on CTB TV, far from his current status.

Hong Kong people were xenophobic, Luo Chuan occasionally went to the bar for a drink after work, and met Yin Dong who had also come from the mainland. They would chat amiably. From there, they got to know each other. It was a time of youthful exuberance - drinking together, complaining about the injustices in life, and dreaming wildly about the future.

"Your father was a great person, loyal, generous to his friends," Luo Chuan paused and looked embarrassed, "but because of one thing, he wasn't well-liked by others..."

Yin Chang was puzzled, "What thing?"

Luo Chuan waved his hand and signaled to his agent to leave before telling Yin Chang, "He had a boyfriend in his early years."

Yin Chang was caught off guard by this truth, and it was like a thunderbolt in his mind!

Even Shao Junling beside him was also stunned as he looked at Luo Chuan.

"In those days, people's tolerance for this type of thing was very low, so your father..." Luo Chuan remembered the scene when someone who knew about Yin Dong's relationship with a man cursed him from behind as a "dead gay", and he couldn't bear to continue.

Back then, he was also influenced by others and thought that men being together like that was disgusting, so he gradually distanced himself and stopped contacting him. 

Several years later, when they met again, Yin Dong had just debuted as an actor, and had a female agent who was always by his side.

At that time, Yin Dong had changed a lot, and the youthful expression in his eyes was gone. Nobody connected him with the bartender back then.

Luo Chuan had no hatred towards Yin Dong, and seeing him "repent," he could no longer keep his prejudices against him. 

Looking back now, Luo Chuan felt that those judgments they made back then were ridiculous. Having been in the industry for several years, he had seen all sorts of dirty deals. Yin Dong's experiences before his debut were nothing compared to the promiscuity between men and women in the entertainment industry nowadays.

Yin Chang's mind flashed back to the Hong Kong villa he had visited with Lu Lingjuan many years ago, the studio, the piano… he looked at Luo Chuan and asked anxiously, "Have you seen my father's boyfriend?"

"I've only seen him from afar, he was a very handsome man." Luo Chuan glanced at Yin Chang. In fact, the first time he saw Yin Chang in the media, he thought of Yin Dong's previous boyfriend. That person was also tall, handsome, and had a mixed-race look.

But Yin Dong had protected Yin Chang too well, and Luo Chuan remembered that he was only exposed as the father of a son in an award ceremony when Yin Dong was 27 years old. Nobody knew what his son looked like until a few years before Yin Dong's plane crash. Mainland paparazzi had secretly taken pictures of Yin Chang when he was 15.

So, although he had those unfounded thoughts, Luo Chuan didn't say them.

He looked at Yin Chang, "It's been a long time, I don't know much. If you don't believe me, just take it as me blabbering."

Yin Chang drank his wine and said dully, "It's okay, thank you."

Luo Chuan also talked about his past with Yin Dong. It was rumored that they were archrivals, but it was actually because of Yao Manhuai.

After Yin Dong had won the Best Newcomer Award, he attended a gathering in Hong Kong with Luo Chuan. That was the first time Luo Chuan came into close contact with Yao Manhuai. She was very young and not as stunning as the other female artists, but she had a natural queen-like temperament, which was the type that Luo Chuan liked the most.

When he asked for Yao Manhuai’s contact information, he began to pursue her, but she repeatedly rejected him, and told Luo Chuan very clearly that she had someone else in her heart.

At first, Luo Chuan didn't know who Yao Manhuai's heart belonged to, and even guessed it was Yin Dong. It wasn't until they first competed for the Best Actor award on stage that he realized - that night after the award ceremony, he overheard Yao Manhuai confessing to Yin Dong, and Yin Dong elegantly but distantly declining, even consoling her softly, "If it's a life partner, Luo Chuan is more suitable to stand by your side than me."

Since then, Luo Chuan had complex emotions towards Yin Dong. He fought with him every step of the way because he wanted to prove himself and let Yao Manhuai see him, but after all these years, Yao Manhuai remained unaffected. It was true that he almost hated Yin Dong at that time.

But as he continued to hate, Yin Dong suddenly died, disappearing from this world completely.

When Luo Chuan learned of Yin Dong's death, he felt uncomfortable. He not only lost his competitor, but also his best friend who understood him the most.

Afterwards, he let go of his obsession. Even if Yao Manhuai never responded to him in his lifetime, he didn't mind. It would be nice to be ordinary friends. At least they were still alive and could reminisce about the days with Yin Dong.

Luo Chuan put down his wine glass and glanced at the son of his old friend, "If you want to know more about your father's experience in Hong Kong, there's someone who may know more than me..."
