Chapter 578 - Co Clean
Edited by: Molly
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help chuckling when he saw that. He put the tray of food and liquid dicine on the only table, then walked to the bed and sat down.
He patted Yan Tianhen’s head through the quilt and smiled a little. “What I should’ve seen and what I shouldn’t have seen — I’ve seen them all. What should’ve been done and what shouldn’t have been done — we’ve also done them all. Isn’t it a little late to feel shy now?”
When Yan Tianhen heard this, he groaned twice and spoke through the quilt in a muffled voice, “Can’t you let
mourn my lost moral integrity for a while?”
Lin Xuanzhi, “...” He couldn’t help laughing.
When Yan Tianhen heard the stuffy laughter, he relaxed a lot and asked, “What ti is it?”
“It’s already dawn outside. I’ve helped you ask for leave. You can rest with
these days. The East Courtyard will understand.”
Yan Tianhen suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up. He looked at Lin Xuanzhi. “Did you tell those people about my relationship with you?”
Lin Xuanzhi’s eyebrow was gentle. “I haven’t made it very clear yet, but most of the gentlen and the three halls’ elders know that you had to take ti off and recuperate for a while because there was an accident with your cultivation, and you almost suffered a Qi deviation.”
Yan Tianhen gave an “Oh” sound, then hung his head and no longer spoke.
Lin Xuanzhi asked, “Does Ah Hen want others to know? If you want, I’ll tell everyone.”
Yan Tianhen shook his head. “I don’t want to cause trouble for you.”
Lin Xuanzhi paused slightly. His heart suddenly felt warm. It’s not that he doesn’t want to; he simply doesn’t want to cause trouble for .
If the second heir of the secular dynasty got together with the last future of orthodox Dao, it may bring a lot of trouble. Yan Tianhen was never a person who was afraid of trouble. Instead, he was worried about Lin Xuanzhi being implicated and dragged down as well.
Lin Xuanzhi thought to himself, It just so happens that there was also never a mont where I didn’t fear causing Yan Tianhen trouble.
Lin Xuanzhi reached out and held Yan Tianhen’s hand, which was outside the quilt. “How are you feeling?”
Yan Tianhen shook his head. “There is no discomfort anymore. It seems that all the spiritual Qi from before has returned to its rightful place. My entire body even feels free, and my mind is clear.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “I took another careful look at that&#k300J;Decline and Prosperity&#k300K;you were practicing. Apart from not being able to reverse the order, there is nothing that you need to pay special attention to. I’ve already cleared up the turbulent spiritual Qi in your body and returned them to their original positions. You only need to start practicing &#k300J;Decline and Prosperity&#k300K; backwards, and there will be no problem.”
Even the tips of Yan Tianhen’s ears flushed red all of a sudden.
However, Yan Tianhen’s shyness could only last for a cup of tea’s worth of ti at most. Soon, Yan Tianhen threw aside the rare emotion of shyness and raised his head to boldly et Lin Xuanzhi’s gaze. He then leaned back against the bed and curled his lips as he asked. “Huarong Gege, shouldn’t you explain so matters to ?”
Lin Xuanzhi did not answer but also asked a question instead, “How did you sense it was ?”
“I asked you first, so you should answer first.”
“Your question is too general; I don’t know where to start.”
Yan Tianhen thought about it and suggested, “Why don’t we do this? Let’s take turns. I’ll ask you a question, and you can ask
a question. Neither of us are allowed to lie, okay?”
“Okay.”
Yan Tianhen gazed at Lin Xuanzhi and lazily leaned against the bed, like a cat basking in the sun.
“Originally, I should be asking the first question, but who let
care about you so much?” Yan Tianhen pointed his chin towards Lin Xuanzhi and answered, “In the beginning, I wasn’t sure that the man was you, but I’m not stupid either. Although I like beauties, I’m not so superficial that I can like soone just by looking at their face. But ever since I saw you eight years ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I would even fantasize about you in my dreams.”
When he said that, Yan Tianhen couldn’t help giving a light hum as he laughed softly. “In the dream, you always kept
company by my side. It didn’t matter how bold the act was; we had done them all. At first, I thought it was just because I fell in love with you at first sight, but because I couldn’t be with you, I could only make up for it in dreams. But then, when I ca to Myriad Dao Academy, you took the initiative to express goodwill to
many tis, and when you talked about your sweetheart, you would always look at
and hesitate, as though you had a lot to say but couldn’t say anything. You looked like you were recalling fond mories, and you also seed like you were looking at another person through . Huarong Gege, I know much more about you than you think. I don’t have much contact with you, but I also know that you’re not the kind of person who will look for substitutes at all. Moreover, if the person you love is soone else, you absolutely wouldn’t have allowed
to slander him like that, unless that person was
all along.”
Lin Xuanzhi was shocked. “You were able to guess that the person I spoke about is you with just this? This is a bit too far-fetched.”
Yan Tianhen said, “So you could even see through this ah.”
Lin Xuanzhi, “.....”
Yan Tianhen suddenly spoke expressionlessly, “Actually, I rely dread that there was a person who was always by my side, but I couldn’t see his face at all. I didn’t know his na and his appearance, and I would even forget what happened in my dream as soon as I woke up.”
“Then you...” Lin Xuanzhi frowned slightly.
“It was just a feeling.” Yan Tianhen said, “I don’t think I’m the kind of person who would fall for people based on appearances, yet my heart was no longer mine to control after seeing you — if you claim that there was nothing between
and you, I won’t believe it at all. I was just bluffing earlier, but I didn’t expect that it really was you.”
Lin Xuanzhi suddenly didn’t know what to say. Monts later, he smiled helplessly.
From beginning to end, Yan Tianhen had never rembered him, but his dreams were similar to mories. Although they were vague, they gave him so hints. In addition, Yan Tianhen fell in love with him at first sight, and suddenly found out that he had already lost his virginity when his cultivation went wrong, so he had a flash of enlightennt and connected the dots, following his gut feeling that the man was him.
As for those explanations just now, so were true, while others could only be said to be deductions Yan Tianhen made given the current situation.
Yan Tianhen took a deep breath and said, “Now it’s my turn to ask you. My mory has missing parts, but it seems now that your mory should be completely intact, so why do you pretend that you don’t know ?”
Lin Xuanzhi asked, “If I say it’s because I don’t want to take responsibility, will you believe ?”
“If I believed that, then I’d be an enormous fool.”
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help patting his head.
Yan Tianhen grabbed Lin Xuanzhi’s hand. “Give
an explanation.”
“Don’t worry, we have plenty of ti to explain it clearly.” Lin Xuanzhi used his soothing power and held Yan Tianhen’s hand instead. “You did indeed forget many things, but it’s not your fault; it’s the Dao of Heaven’s rules. On the other hand, I rember everything that happened between us, but the only thing I forgot is what it felt like to love you.”
Yan Tianhen paused.
Lin Xuanzhi lowered his eyes slightly and looked a bit guilty. He said, “It’s already developed to this stage. Originally, I didn’t want to respond to your feelings — after all, doing so would be unfair to you, but now that it’s co to this, even if you want to run, I absolutely won’t allow it anymore.”
“I’ve never wanted to run. I’m not the kind of scum who starts sothing and abandons it halfway.” Yan Tianhen mumbled a word, and imdiately looked grim as he stared at Lin Xuanzhi. “What do you an by ‘forgot what it felt like to love ’?”
Lin Xuanzhi sighed slightly. “It’s probably because my heart and mind are deficient, so it’s hard for
to be moved. Naturally, it’s not that I feel nothing, but I can’t feel strong emotions anymore.” As if he didn’t want Yan Tianhen to worry, he added, “Ah Hen, this may only be temporary. I will try my best to resolve the knot in my heart. You...please don’t regret this. I still rember how to treat you well, and I will also do my best to protect you. You just need to give
so ti.”
When Yan Tianhen heard this, his eyes stung, almost making him speechless.
He didn’t know the cause and effect, but from Lin Xuanzhi’s words, he could vaguely feel the Dao of Heaven’s cruelty and ruthlessness.
Yan Tianhen resisted the urge and asked, “Did my amnesia occur first, or did your loss of feelings occur first?”
Lin Xuanzhi opened and closed his mouth. Finally, he said stiffly, “This is the next question.”
Yan Tianhen’s eyes suddenly dimd. “I see.”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled knowingly. “Ah Hen beca even smarter than before.”
Yan Tianhen was distressed. “I don’t care whether you love
or not. As long as you don’t reject
now and you’re willing to let
be with you, that’s enough. As for the past events, you can slowly tell
about them in the future. You didn’t cultivate the Dao of Indifference. According to reason, you shouldn’t be emotionless and desireless–“
When he ntioned lacking any emotions and desires, Yan Tianhen rembered the scene back then when Lin Xuanzhi took the heart stone’s test.
At that ti, he was afraid that Lin Xuanzhi’s heart and mind were already exhausted, so much so that not even the heart stone knew what he desired. Yan Tianhen’s eyes slowly reddened.
Lin Xuanzhi squeezed his hand. “Don’t feel bad. In fact, it was more serious before, but ever since you ca to Myriad Dao Academy, my situation has slowly been getting better.”
“Really?” Yan Tianhen seed like he caught a lifeline.
Lin Xuanzhi smiled. “Naturally it’s true. Don’t be too sad.”
“In any case, even if I feel sad, you still won’t feel distressed.” Yan Tianhen pursed his lips but no longer pursued this topic. “Forget it. As long as you don’t cultivate the Dao of Indifference, you can still be saved. I will pester you every day in the future. You can recover slowly.”
“En. This process may be quite long.”
Yan Tianhen didn’t even have to think about it as he replied, “I can wait. I can wait for as long as you need. I’ll be with you; I’ll always be by your side.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “Okay.”
Yan Tianhen blinked at Lin Xuanzhi. “It’s your turn to ask now.”
Lin Xuanzhi thought about it. “Actually, I don’t have much to ask. As for what I care about most, it’s not how the past went, but whether you’ve been well through these years, how many new friends you’ve made recently, and what happy things you encountered during cultivation.”
Yan Tianhen’s heart beca a soft ss. How can there be soone like Lin Xuanzhi in this world? Even if he forgot what it felt like to love , his actions and words are always expressing love for .
Yan Tianhen answered, “My life is good right now, but also a little bad. I have many friends, and I am in a much better situation than when I was at the Lin family. But sotis, a familiar picture would flash through my mind one second, and I would forget it completely the next second. I knew I had lost sothing very important, but I did not know exactly what I had lost. Until I first t you eight years ago — in that mont, I felt that my heart was complete.”
Lin Xuanzhi didn’t expect him to change the topic right back to this matter again.
