"Ah! You stinky thing! Are you listening to me …" Qing Dan stared at Qinchuan, speechless.
"Listen to me. I think what little Dandan said makes a lot of sense," Qinchuan hurriedly said.
"Hey, you bastard. Do you want me to beg you to chase after another woman?" Qing Dan chuckled as she spoke.
Qinchuan sighed. "Foolish woman, why do you have to do this? Everyone has their own destiny. You might think that I'm good, but others might not. You and Thousand Leaves Silksnow are like sisters, and you want her to be happy, but you're not her. Why do you have to do this?
She really does like you, but she's a bit shy. Can't you be a bit more proactive?
If she really liked someone and wanted to spend the rest of her life with them, then she wouldn't be so shy. My skin is also very thin, but I'm the one who took the initiative to pester you … "
Qing Dan cupped Qinchuan's face in her hands, helplessly shaking her head. "Forget it, whatever. What am I after …"
"Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask you. Although my willpower is strong, even I can't resist this kind of temptation."
"Temptation? It seems that you're interested in Thousand Leaves." Qing Dan smiled as she looked at Qinchuan.
"Have you heard of this saying? If a man doesn't get close to women for a long time, then when he sees a sow, he'll think that it's a peerless beauty."
"You're so disgusting!"
Qinchuan was speechless.
"I'm just giving an example," Qinchuan explained helplessly.
"Then what do you want to say?" Qing Dan looked at him.
"I want to say that you can't force things. Otherwise, you'll get the exact opposite result."
"Alright, I'll stop here. I'm very satisfied with your performance. Here, let me reward you." Qing Dan tiptoed and planted a kiss on Qinchuan's cheek.
"This won't do." Qinchuan immediately picked her up and ran towards the room.
"Bastard, you're doing this again in broad daylight …"
… …
Thousand Leaves tossed and turned in her bed, unable to fall asleep. She wore a set of pajamas as she stood by the window.
The night sky was dotted with stars and the bright moon hung high in the sky. The ground was covered with a layer of silver sand. It was beautiful and quiet. All of this was like a painting. He lowered his head to look at his own shadow on the ground. It was tall and slender, with vague curves.
Every beautiful woman was conceited and confident in their looks, especially those who had reached Silksnow Thousand Leaves' level.
Usually, she knew that many people looked at her with adoration and worship. Sometimes, they could only bury their feelings in their hearts. There were also some bold ones who wanted to get in touch with her. She knew what these people wanted, so she naturally ignored them.
She had never thought about finding a man so early and so soon. Of course, she had never thought about not finding a man for the rest of her life. She felt that she would definitely get married in this life, but the man she wanted to marry never came.
But this time, she felt that her wait had come. Qinchuan's appearance had reborn the entire Silksnow Clan. Moreover, this man was different from other men. She gradually stopped rejecting him, and she even tried to get in touch with him.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly. She felt that his personality was quite good. At the very least, out of all the men she had met, apart from her own family members, he was the one who gave her the best impression.
In fact, she had even considered that giving herself to such a man as a husband wasn't something she couldn't accept.
This man's cultivation was powerful, his medical skills were formidable, and he even had superb cooking skills …
However, she discovered that he didn't seem to like her at all. In fact, he didn't even seem to have any intentions of pursuing her.
Was she really supposed to thicken her skin and pursue him?
Her grandfather had once told her that she had to fight for her own happiness. Although he hadn't said it explicitly, she knew what he meant.
It was said that a man pursuing a woman was as difficult as a mountain, while a woman pursuing a man was as difficult as a piece of paper.
She actually hoped that Qinchuan would pursue her. Deep down, she was still a traditional woman, the very traditional kind. It was truly difficult for her to take that step forward.
She was very conflicted, very conflicted, and this man was her best friend and sister's man.
This left her at a loss. Although Qing Dan said that she didn't mind and would even help her pursue him, she still felt that something was off.
However, for the first time, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
The Buddha said that there were eight kinds of sufferings for all living beings, and one of them was suffering from not being able to seek it.
What one wanted, but couldn't obtain, would be very bitter, especially when it came to relationships. That kind of helplessness was the bitterness in one's heart.
Right now, she had this feeling. With this feeling, she didn't know what to do. Seeing Qinchuan and Qing Dan being so intimate, she felt very envious. She understood Qing Dan's change very well.
Before she knew it, the east began to brighten. Qianye Silksnow stood by the window for an entire night.
She didn't know if she would leave Jianglang Commandery in the future, but she knew that Qinchuan would definitely leave. If she didn't make any progress with him before he left, perhaps their fate would be completely severed.
When she thought of this, she felt a lingering fear. She gritted her teeth and walked out of the room.
… …
Knock, knock, knock!
The sun had just risen when Qianye Silksnow knocked on Qinchuan and Qing Dan's door.
Qing Dan was still asleep. Qinchuan frowned, put on his clothes, and walked out. When he opened the door, he discovered that Qianye Silksnow was standing outside.
Qinchuan was startled. What was this young miss playing at? However, he still smiled and said, "Qing Dan still hasn't woken up. Is something the matter?"
"Can you accompany me for a walk?" Qianye Silksnow said softly, not raising her head.
However, Qinchuan could tell that this woman hadn't slept all night. With her strength, it wouldn't be a problem even if she didn't sleep for ten days. However, it was obvious that her spiritual power was slightly weaker than before. Thus, even martial artists would be affected if they didn't sleep.
Qinchuan nodded. "Alright!"
The two of them walked towards the Jianglang Commandery's rear courtyard. This place was simply too large. There were fake mountains, streams, bamboo forests, gardens, and so on. As the two of them walked, Qinchuan didn't say anything.
"Do you really have nothing to say when you're with me?" Qianye Silksnow sighed softly.
"Say what?" Qinchuan didn't understand. He really didn't have anything to say.
"You weren't like this before," Qianye Silksnow said.
"Perhaps this is fate."
"Fate is in your own hands," Qianye Silksnow said.
"A person can only grasp half of it, at most," Qinchuan said.
"Then I'll properly hold onto that half. I'll definitely hold onto my own half," Qianye Silksnow said with certainty. Her voice was very soft, but it was still incomparably beautiful.
Qinchuan didn't say anything.
However, Qianye Silksnow held onto Qinchuan's hand.
When she held onto Qinchuan's hand, she trembled and almost let go. Her face was completely red, and even her delicate ears were red. She lowered her head, refusing to look at Qinchuan.
Qin Chuan felt that his hand was as warm as jade, as exquisite as fat, and as soft as if there were no bones in it. His heart trembled slightly. Right now, he was feeling very complicated.
Qianye Silksnow was a woman of unmatched beauty. It was impossible for a man to not like such a woman. Of course, that man had to be normal.
"Qinchuan, I, I … …" Qianye Silksnow's face was completely red, but she didn't finish her sentence.
