Chapter 136 – Inevitably, There Will Always Be Feelings To Know.

After hearing Xiao YuAn’s answer, Yan HeQing made a light satisfied sound and then withdrew his hand, letting go of Xiao YuAn, who was fluttering like a fish out of the water. He then got up and sat down on the chair beside the wooden table.

Xiao YuAn turned over lying face down on the table, hating the fact that he can’t merge with the wooden table.

President Xiao is thinking about the meaning of life: ‘Marxist philosophy says! That consciousness! Is subjective in form and objective in content1!’

Therefore, Xiao YuAn, who was brainwashed by the nearly one million poisonous words from the original book, would naturally feel that! Yan HeQing! Is a straight man! With a huge harem! That never hesitates! To tease his concubines!

‘Even if his First and Second Female Leads eloped, and the Third Female Lead is now happily married, he still has other wives, ah!‘

Even before, when Yan HeQing said to him that he never had a love affair, Xiao YuAn felt that this was just temporary!

However, after Xiao YuAn’s thousand calculations, he never thought that! Yan HeQing! Who in the second half of the original book spent every single night with a woman! Would Unexpectedly! Become! Gay!

Xiao YuAn raised his head fiercely, turned to look at Yan HeQing, and asked him: “Are you also a transmigrated soul?”

When he saw that Yan HeQing’s eyebrows were raised again and that he was about to get up, Xiao YuAn panicked and hurried to stop him: “Stopstopstop!!! Let me think about this more!!! Let me think! Don’t come any closer! As soon as you get close, my brain gets all confused!!”

Yan HeQing sat back on the wooden chair, seeing how Xiao YuAn was once again facing down with his forehead against the table, and continued to think about the meaning of life.

‘Now that the Male Lead of the Stallion Novel is gay, it seems that this broken novel can no longer be viewed with the logic of the original.’

‘But, Yan HeQing actually said that he liked me?!!’

‘What the fuck?’

It’s like a mess of threads, that at first glance, can’t be sorted out; but as long as you find the right thread and pull it little by little, you’ll find that everything is clearly spread out in front of you.

‘While we were on the mountain, he suddenly changed his attitude from one day to the next after he found out it was me all along.’

‘And when we parted ways that day, he inexplicably smashed the hairpin to the ground.’

‘That also explains why Xue Yan tried his best to separate us.’

‘Even back then, in the market when Yan HeQing carefully handed the hairpin to me, under the lights of ten thousand homes2, and the unseen world of spirits3. How much love was paid wrongly? And how much love was lost?’

Xiao YuAn sighed for a long time, then he raised his head, looked at Yan HeQing, and murmured: “I…”

“It’s alright, you don’t have to give me an answer so soon. You can take your time to think it over slowly.” Yan HeQing interrupted him and then extended his hand to him. Xiao YuAn subconsciously avoided his hand and moved away, only to suddenly freeze in place.

‘Oh no, this kind of reaction will definitely hurt Yan HeQing.’

However, Yan HeQing looked indifferent as he continued to extend his hand and rub Xiao YuAn’s forehead, which was red due to being rubbed against the table: “Xiao YuAn, I’ll have to leave tomorrow. After I conquer the Eastern Wu Kingdom, I’ll come back to you. Then, at that time, you can give me a reply.” Yan HeQing withdrew his hand but stopped midway. He looked at Xiao YuAn with a warm expression, his tone became slow and calm: “But, if by the time of my return, you’re not in Taoyuan Village, and didn’t leave behind any news of your whereabouts, then I will search for you all over the world. Even if that means that I’ll have to dig three feet underground to get you.”

Xiao YuAn said: “Wo-… wow!”

Yan HeQing: “…Wow?”

‘Then then then what should I say?’

‘My friend, you’re really cool and amazing4?’

Xiao YuAn was still wandering through his thoughts, when suddenly, Yan HeQing grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the table again.

‘Why are you doing this again?! Is the script for the miserable Second Male Lead, going to get carried at the bottom of a wooden table?!’

The distance between them was only a few inches apart, and after a few seconds of just staring at each other, Yan HeQing said: “Xiao YuAn, if you don’t mean to return my feelings then just push me away, don’t leave me with any hopes. Otherwise…” Xiao YuAn suddenly moved and placed his forehead against Yan HeQing’s forehead. The light ‘knock’ sound that their foreheads made after colliding with each other, immediately interrupted Yan HeQing’s words.

Xiao YuAn immediately said: “I know. I’ll remember everything that you said to me.”

Yan HeQing replied: “…Yes. By the way, what was that you wanted to talk to me about when you arrived?”

Xiao YuAn suddenly remembered what it was, and subconsciously yelled: “Ah…!”

‘Ah…. I decided to take the place of my Shifu as the army physician. Can… can I still tell you about it?’

Xiao YuAn remembered that when he was at the medical shop before, he swore to Zhang Changsong and Zhang Baizhu that there wasn’t a need to worry about him, that he has a thigh to hold onto5 and that he has a back door to walk through. But now it seems…. at he won’t be entering through a back door, but that his ‘back door’ will be entered6 instead….
