Chapter 493: Can’t
"It just won’t do, so stop showing off." Su Yinhe sneered.
"So, what’s there to be happy about? You’re laughing so joyfully." Just as Lin Murong was still blissfully laughing, Su Yinhe suddenly leaned in and asked.
"Ah! Galaxy, you’re going to scare someone to death. Haven’t you heard the saying, scaring people to death?" Lin Murong got totally frightened.
"Tsck." Su Yinhe shook her head, "That won’t do."
"What won’t do?" Lin Murong was confused.
"You’re too timid," Su Yinhe patted him, "You really should practice that."
After this incident, Su Yinhe’s mood improved.
She didn’t need Chi Yan’s praises anymore.
She was happy, but Chi Yan was still somewhat clueless.
Although he was smart, his emotional intelligence wasn’t very high. He liked to ponder Su Yinhe’s thoughts and could often guess them right, but he couldn’t figure out everything.
"Umm, don’t overthink it. It’s nothing." As Su Yinhe’s mood brightened, she even managed to soothe Chi Yan in return.
After she said this, Chi Yan, love-struck as he was, didn’t worry about anything else.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
"Mhm, that’s a good boy."
Lin Murong: "???"
What the hell?
A massive ’pacifying the dog’ scene here.
Sometimes, Lin Murong truly wondered if Chi Yan was a dog raised by Su Yinhe.
Even more of a dog than him.
He was blindly consuming dog food, while Chi Yan was, in front of Su Yinhe, acting like a dog.
Hmm...
He felt he was still a bit higher-level than Chi Yan.
Yes, in this sort of situation, Lin Murong liked making comparisons too.
He must be sick.
Really sick.
The two of them went off happily, leaving Lin Murong, the single dog, overthinking and then starting to foolishly smile again.
It must be said, some people really have a great mindset.
Although quite speechless, Lin Murong could actually have a lot of fun by himself.
"Ah. It’s really like having raised a child." Su Yinhe watched the blissfully smiling Lin Murong and commented.
"A child like this might as well not be born," Chi Yan also tossed in his comment.
Su Yinhe: "???"
"No, young man, your thoughts are dangerous, brain check." Su Yinhe felt a bit tired as she tried to correct Chi Yan’s thinking.
But Chi Yan seemed fundamentally uncorrectable.
Now she felt a bit swayed by him too.
"Hmm? Okay, I’ll listen to you." Chi Yan smiled at her.
Su Yinhe looked at him and sighed.
"Always saying you’ll listen to me, but then you don’t act, right?" After saying this, Su Yinhe sighed heavily again.
"No. I’ve been trying. To you, I am like this, to others..." He couldn’t even finish his sentence.
"Yes, you’ve been trying. I believe, believe you. Never mind, maybe you should stop trying, doesn’t seem to help." Su Yinhe had given up on treating him.
"Ah. Then I..." No more pretending.
Pretending to be a good person, pretending to be obedient, was also tiring. He was now ready to go straight for Lin Murong.
Chi Yan silently prepared to take out a knife.
But before he could draw the knife, Su Yinhe, the capricious woman, changed her mind again.
"No, you should try a bit harder, don’t give up on treatment so soon." She almost forgot, he would one day go with her to her place. If she let him be now, later...
Hard to say.
Scary.
Su Yinhe sighed.
No, no, then keep treating.
Hearing this, Chi Yan put the nearly drawn knife back.
Good, he would behave.
In front of Galaxy, he was always rational, obedient, perfect.
Whatever Galaxy said, he would do.
He just hoped that Galaxy could love him a little more.
The love she gave was already a lot, but he still felt it wasn’t enough. He was a greedy man, the more he felt her love, the more he wanted it.
Not enough, still not enough.
He wanted even more.
Chi Yan looked at her, his gaze gradually becoming intense.
Su Yinhe was also sharp, and she quickly looked up to meet his gaze, but in that instant, his expression had changed back.
Strange.
She always felt something was off.
Su Yinhe didn’t notice anything, yet she felt something was amiss.
Relying on a woman’s sixth sense, she knew there had definitely been something wrong just now.
"Chi Yan, tell me, what was it just now?"
Su Yinhe stared straight at him.
It would be best for Chi Yan not to lie to her.
But there are some things you just have to lie about.
He didn’t want to scare her.
He had said that in her heart, he had to be rational, perfect.
He certainly didn’t want to be seen as a bad person in her heart.
"There’s nothing. Was there something?" Chi Yan’s eyes appeared innocent.
"Um... then there probably wasn’t anything." Su Yinhe doubted her own feelings as she saw his reaction.
After all, this sixth sense thing often makes mistakes, too.
"Um. Nothing." Chi Yan intertwined his fingers with hers.
"So... Galaxy, do you want to do something now?" When Chi Yan spoke, his suggestive intent was very clear.
Su Yinhe: "..."
"Ah, watching a drama, I’ll watch a drama." Su Yinhe understood his hint, but pretended she didn’t.
She, pretending not to understand.
"Alright. Let’s watch a drama." Chi Yan slightly curled his lips.
He knew she understood; she just didn’t take the bait.
But that’s okay, he understood.
With Chi Yan being like this, Su Yinhe herself felt somewhat embarrassed.
"So I..."
"Go ahead." Chi Yan considerately turned on the tablet for her and even prepared some snacks and milk tea.
And a pillow.
"Sit. Watch here. I’ll go make you something tasty. Call me if you want me to join you." Chi Yan had created a very comfortable environment for drama watching.
After setting it up, he went to prepare some delicious food.
It’s not that he particularly wanted to make something tasty, nor did he really want to make anything, but what he really wanted to do most was to stay by her side. However, he was barely holding himself back.
The impulse to devour her overwhelmed him.
He thought of himself as a rational person, but no matter how rational, some emotions just couldn’t be controlled.
The more one tries to restrain emotions, the more fiercely they surge.
And he, had restrained himself for a very long time already.
So long, it was frightening.
But thankfully, he still managed to restrain himself now.
He, a rational person.
Very rational indeed.
Chi Yan walked quickly.
He walked so fast that Su Yinhe couldn’t even call out to him.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Su Yinhe touched her nose, glanced at the tablet which was showing an advertisement.
During the advertisement, Su Yinhe pondered why Chi Yan had run so fast.
Wait, why did he run?
Was she some kind of ferocious beast?
She wasn’t scary at all.
Su Yinhe shook her head.
But, Chi Yan probably wasn’t afraid of her.
Chi Yan seemed to fear nothing.
He was quite brave.
Su Yinhe wanted to think further, but the show had already started.
She got busy watching the plot and stopped thinking too much.
Never mind, she’d watch first and see.
Plus, Chi Yan was making her something delicious, and he would come back.
No rush.
The drama is more important.
