Chapter 252: Be Honest
Qin Sheng shook his head, and a peaceful smile remained on his lips: "If I say I ate it, do you believe it?" β
Zixi frowned: "I don't believe it." β
Qin Shang was slightly silent, and then smiled lightly: "Zixi, can we talk about something else?" You leave my body alone. β
Zixi's tone was light: "You poured out the medicine?" β
Qin Sheng was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "You are really persistent. β
Is this what the default means?
"Why?" Zixi asked him lightly, "You don't trust me?" β
"It's not." Qin Sheng shook his head slowly, raising his eyes to stare at the corner of the warm pavilion, "I just think that there is no need to drink medicine." β
Zixi frowned deeply, and pondered for a moment, "Qin Shang, since you said that we are friends, do you think friends should be honest with each other?" β
Qin Sheng nodded: "This is nature." β
"Then I have a question for you." Zixi raised his eyes and looked at him with a straight face, "Your name is really Qin Shang?" β
Qin Sheng didn't seem to expect her to ask this question, and was surprised for a moment, before slowly nodding: "Really." β
"Growing up?"
"From childhood to adulthood." Qin Shang nodded, in a very certain tone, "I am Qin Shang, Qin Shang is me." β
When Zixi heard this, her brows couldn't help but deepen again: "I want to show you a portrait." β
Qin Shang smiled shallowly: "Portrait? β
Zixi nodded, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and unfolded it on the table.
"Do you know this teenager?"
Qin Shang's gaze fell on the portrait, and the smile on the corner of his lips condensed slightly.
It was as if time had stood still.
He unconsciously put down the wine cup, and his pale and slender fingers rubbed the red-clothed young man in the portrait, and his expression had an indescribable apprehension.
"This portrait ......"
Qin Shang wanted to ask how the portrait was obtained, but considering Zixi's identity, it was not difficult to get this portrait.
Therefore, he quickly resumed his light smile: "It turns out that Qin Shang in the past is like this...... It's been a long time, so long that I've almost forgotten it, Qin Sheng used to be like this......"
So proud and confident, his whole body is filled with the scorching light of the sun.
Listening to the complex and desolate emotions in his words, Zixi's expression slowly rose, and deep thought appeared in his eyes.
The former Qin Shang?
"Zixi." Qin Shang's gaze fell on the portrait, and his tone was as clear as a spring breeze, as light as cotton wool, "Do you know what it's like for a moth to fight a fire?" β
Zixi was stunned.
"I know." Qin Sheng raised his eyes and smiled, but something seemed to be quietly shattered under his eyes, "Not only do I know, but I have also experienced it myself." β
"Qin Shang." Zixi's expression was slightly tight, and his tone was a little hurried, "Did I touch your pain?" If so, I'm sorryβ"
"Nope." Qin Sheng shook his head, the smile on his lips was still as gentle as jade, "Friends should indeed be honest with each other, you have encountered a difficult question and want to ask me clearly, this is normal - even if you are willing to ask me face to face, at least it represents your trust in me, I am actually very happy." β
Zixi didn't speak, her brows furrowed slightly.
"There are some things I especially want you to know." Qin Sheng held his chin and sighed with a faint smile, "I feel like I finally have a friend to talk to, but I feel that I shouldn't be so selfish." β
Friends can pass happiness to each other and share joy with each other, as for some not-so-beautiful things...... Actually, it doesn't need to be said.
Especially a gentle and beautiful girl like her, she doesn't have to share those things that are not beautiful at all.
