Chapter 24: Confession
When Zhang Jinyu came to the lake, Shen Qingchen had already leaned the boat against the bridge, lying in the boat, holding a Erlang Rui, his hands covered by his eyes and closing his eyes to recuperate, so uncomfortable, the pink lotus flowers and the green lotus leaves surrounded the boat, quiet and leisurely. Although it is the end of summer, because of the climate and environment of Mucheng, the flowering period of lotus flowers is always long, and today Shen Qingchen can enjoy this unique tranquility.
Zhang Jinyu smiled, jumped in three steps and two steps, and jumped into the boat, and when he landed on the boat, his movements were light, and the boat did not shake in the slightest.
"Here we are." Shen Qingchen said lightly, his hands were still blindfolded, and he didn't move.
Zhang Jinyu didn't answer, sat in the boat, and lay down on Shen Qingchen's side.
"Men and women don't kiss." Shen Qingchen finally couldn't hold it back, took his hand down, his eyes were clear, and he looked at Zhang Jinyu. Zhang Jinyu just stared at Shen Qingchen, motionless, and his expression was still smiling, without the slightest change.
Shen Qingchen sighed helplessly, sat up, and planned to sit farther away from Zhang Jinyu to keep an appropriate distance, but was pulled by Zhang Jinyu.
"Master Shen has always been romantic, why is he cowardly now." Zhang Jinyu raised his eyebrows, looking provocative, but his eyes were red unprepared.
"......" Shen Qingchen looked at Zhang Jinyu's red eyes, was slightly stunned for a while, and finally pushed Zhang Jinyu's hand away.
Zhang Jinyu felt the feeling of emptiness in her hand, only to feel that her heart was even more empty, and an unknown anger and resentment were intertwined, almost rushing out of her chest.
"Do you think you can hide from me?" Zhang Jinyu said this calmly, and suddenly reached out and pulled Shen Qingchen in front of him, so close that the two of them almost put their faces together, and they could see the fine fluff on each other's faces, and the heat from the snort could directly hit each other's faces.
Shen Qingchen didn't expect Zhang Jinyu's sudden movements, so he slammed his efforts directly in front of the other party. I just wanted to step back and distance myself, but I was startled by the sudden wetness on my lips and froze in place.
Zhang Jinyu has never had a sweetheart, and kissing is the first time, she only feels that her face is about to burn with shame, but she has to bite the bullet on Shen Qingchen's lips like a headless fly, if Shen Qingchen, the elm pimple, dares to push herself away or stay away from herself from now on, she will split the elm pimple.
Shen Qingchen blinked, gradually came back to his senses, felt the warm and wet touch on his lips, looked at Zhang Jinyu's ears that were red and about to drip blood, and his eyes unconsciously bent. Shen Qingchen suddenly felt that the useless burden in his heart was a little ridiculous, he Shen Qingchen had always been free and uninhibited, but he didn't expect that such an emotional matter would have to be taken by the girl's family first.
Shen Qingchen hugged Zhang Jinyu into his arms, and pressed her head with one hand, deepening the kiss with some youth. Zhang Jinyu originally saw that Shen Qingchen didn't react in the slightest, he was already embarrassed to the point that he couldn't do it, but at the moment when he was about to leave Shen Qingchen's lips, he was hugged by Shen Qingchen, feeling this sudden response, his heart was overwhelmingly joyful, and there was a little grievance, and his eyes were already red, and now he fainted a few tears.
Shen Qingchen slowly let go of Zhang Jinyu and kissed her reverently on her red eyes.
"In the future, even if you want to escape, I won't let you go."
Zhang Jinyu sobbed while hanging lightly on Shen Qingchen's chest.
"Bastard, you have a bit of a conscience."
Shen Qingchen hugged Zhang Jinyu and lay down on the boat, under the warm sun, the two hugged each other, talking and laughing, as if they were in the most beautiful fairyland in the world, and time had stopped.
In the prince's mansion, Shen Qingyan wrapped himself tightly with a thin quilt, and tears kept dripping on the quilt like beads with broken threads, wetting one piece after another. Yin Qi sat next to Shen Qingyan, a little at a loss for the first time, he wanted to apologize but didn't dare, he wanted to coax her but didn't know how to coax her, so he could only sit on the side and look at Shen Qingyan blankly, his fingers unconsciously buttoned the edge of his pants, and the whole person was uneasy.
Yin Qi saw that Shen Qingyan was already crying breathlessly, so he hurriedly got out of bed and took a cup of herbal tea, brought it to Shen Qingyan, wiped Shen Qingyan's tears with the sleeve, opened the tea lid, and fed it to Shen Qingyan's mouth. Shen Qingyan looked at the tea in front of him and gently turned his head away.
"Yan'er, it's me who was wrong, don't cry, it's okay, hurt your body." Yin Qi held Shen Qingyan's hand a little anxiously, ruining it 108,000 times in his heart. He just saw Shen Qingyan's reactions of resistance every time he did that, obviously there was something hidden in his heart, and when he asked her, she refused to say it, so he used this somewhat excessive method to make her say it and stop holding it in her heart, but he didn't expect it to backfire, Shen Qingyan is now like a little hedgehog waiting for the enemy, keeping him far away.
Shen Qingyan slowed down, took a deep breath, tried his best to stop sobbing, reached out to take the herbal tea brought by Yin Qi, took a sip, and the cool tea drove out the heat caused by crying, which calmed Shen Qingyan's originally restless heart.
Yin Qi saw that Shen Qingyan had drunk tea, so he waited cautiously on the side, waiting for Shen Qingyan's hair to fall, but saw Shen Qingyan pull him back to the bedside and reached out to hold his hand.
"Although what you have done today is really excessive, it is true that I have not fulfilled my obligations as a wife, even if it is settled."
Yin Qihui held Shen Qingyan's hand and shook his head, just about to say something but was interrupted by Shen Qingyan.
"I can't go on like this, you can't either, it's better to choose another Liangdi one day, I'll ...... too" Before Shen Qingyan finished speaking, Yin Qi suddenly withdrew his hand and looked at her seriously, his cold and hard expression showed that he was really angry at the moment, this was the first time that Shen Qingyan had been angry with her since he met Yin Qi, he had never been angry when he lost his temper on weekdays, and he had never been angry when he refused to have a round room, but this time, he was so seriously angry.
"Do you think any woman can get into my bed?" Yin Qi pinched Shen Qingyan's chin expressionlessly, although he didn't exert force, it brought Shen Qingyan an indescribable sense of oppression.
Shen Qingyan looked at Yin Qi like this, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, maybe she was a little afraid of Yin Qi who was so unfamiliar, maybe she felt guilty about the problems caused by her psychological disorder, and perhaps, she was shocked by Yin Qi who cherished her so much. In this way, Shen Qingyan looked at Yin Qi like this, and a tear flowed down again and dripped onto Yin Qi's hand.
Yin Qi felt the tenderness in his hand, looked at Shen Qingyan's tearful eyes, and finally sighed in defeat, gently hugged Shen Qingyan in his arms, and patted her back little by little, like coaxing a spoiled child.
"In the future, don't say such things, such words will make me more uncomfortable than you punish me." Yin Qi kissed the root of Shen Qingyan's ear and rubbed it around her neck.
Shen Qingyan tightened his arms around Yin Qi hard, and there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes, but soon, the hesitation in his eyes was replaced by a touch of determination.
Shen Qingyan gently pushed Yin Qi away, looked at Yin Qi solemnly, and the seriousness in his eyes made Yin Qi unconsciously serious.
"Yin Qi, I want to confess one thing to you next, it may be absurd, but it does happen, you must believe me." Shen Qingyan looked at Yin Qi's eyes, frowned slightly, and carefully thought about how to say the next words in order to make Yin Qi accept this absurd fact.
"Okay." Yin Qi held Shen Qingyan's hand, there was unconditional trust in his eyes, as long as she said it, he would believe it.
"Actually, I am a born-again." Shen Qingyan spat out this sentence word by word, carefully observing Yin Qi's expression. Fortunately, Yin Qi still looked at Shen Qingyan seriously, did not question, did not make fun of him, just looked at Shen Qingyan seriously, this reaction made Shen Qingyan feel at ease a little, and then continued.
"In the last life, as the eldest lady of the Shen family, I should have spent my life happily and safely, but unfortunately, my stepmother Hongxing went out of the wall, swept up the Shen family's property and eloped, not to mention, and also created perjury, so that the Shen family fell into a place of no return, the tree fell and scattered, and overnight, the Shen family was only an empty shell. My father was beheaded, my brother was assassinated, and I was imprisoned as a puppet. When he said this, Shen Qingyan was already a little choked, the misery and humiliation of the previous life are still vivid in his mind when he recalls it, and the kind of despair and pain that people who have not experienced it can't understand at all.
Shen Qingyan lowered his head, collected the surging emotions in his heart, felt his hands tightened, raised his head to meet Yin Qi's worried eyes, smiled reluctantly, signaled that he was fine, and continued.
"I was already married to my beloved, Yin Yuan." When Shen Qingyan said this, he saw Yin Qi's wide eyes, Shen Qingyan patted him on the shoulder, comforted him, and continued, "When I just married him, he tore off the mask of hypocrisy, I already knew what kind of person he was, but I didn't expect that as soon as the Shen Mansion fell, I would lose any use value, not only did he not give a little help, but also ...... Shen Wanyan got into bed. And I, from beginning to end, was just his puppet, in vain the sincerity I once had for him. Shen Qingyan's eyes were full of surging hatred and unwillingness, and he almost wanted to bite his lower lip.
Yin Qi rescued Shen Qingyan's lower lip in distress, rubbing it on the tooth marks, he didn't feel Shen Qingyan's hostility towards Yin Yuan, he just simply attributed this hostility to Yin Yuan because Yin Yuan was opposed to him, so Shen Qingyan had a rejection of Yin Yuan. Today, after listening to the reason for Shen Qingyan's explanation, the subtle fragments from before were finally spliced together, although this matter is indeed a little difficult to accept, but since it was said by Shen Qingyan, then he Yin Qi believed it.
"What happened after that?" Yin Qi held and hugged Shen Qingyan, his voice was gentle. He knew that something that would be devastating to Shen Qingyan must have happened next, otherwise, Shen Qingyan would not have reacted so violently every time he did that thing.
Shen Qingyan looked at Yin Qi, took a few deep breaths, and organized the language. Yin Qi was not in a hurry, just looked at her quietly, hugged her and gave her strength.
Finally, Shen Qingyan clenched his fists and said what happened next.
"After that, I was sold into the Qinglou, and it was under the persuasion of Shen Wanyan that Yin Yuan personally sent me there."
