"Consider it compensation."
"compensate?"
The man was taken aback, looking somewhat bewildered, but still casually put the cigarette into his pocket.
Although cigarettes can't fill an empty stomach, they are the second most valuable "hard currency" among men, second only to [Primal Crystal]. In some ways, they are even more precious than bread.
After the door was closed again, Cheng Yuqiu could no longer hold back. She jumped off the bed and grabbed Nie Qingyun's arm, shaking it violently.
"What exactly are you and my cousin up to?!"
"Why all the secrecy? Why did you put me here all alone?"
Seeing that the girl wasn't wearing shoes, Nie Qingyun had no choice but to pick her up and let her step on his feet as they moved step by step toward the bed.
"Well... to put it simply, we have a bastard infiltrated here, and he's connected to the people who attacked us before."
"I need to find out about this as soon as possible, and temporarily separating from Her Highness the Princess is also part of the strategy."
"So you're not allowed to be stubborn anymore."
"Then why is Mei allowed to stay in the infirmary?!"
Back in bed, Cheng Yuqiu, still clinging to Nie Qingyun, draped her arm over his shoulder and then leaned against his back, continuing:
“Then I’ll switch with her and let Ya Yi come over.”
As she spoke, she looked up at Saotome:
"Please, Mei~"
Saotome found it difficult to explain this matter, and in the end, she could only look at Nie Qingyun with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"No, that won't do," Nie Qingyun said, grabbing the girl's arm and squeezing it.
"You have to be the one living here."
Cheng Yuqiu seemed to have no intention of giving up, so he had no choice but to resort to his last resort.
She pressed all her weight onto the other person's back, her full breasts squeezing together.
"Then, why don't you move in with us too?"
"Anyway, I don't want to be here alone."
This move was indeed very effective. Nie Qingyun's body stiffened instantly, and he felt a little hot from the subtle soft touch.
Since Saotome was still nearby, he couldn't directly use "family discipline" on the young lady, so he could only patiently explain:
"I also have some tasks to do, but they should be finished soon. Then you can move them back, okay?"
For some reason, Nie Qingyun felt that the young lady was unusually clingy today. Although she was usually like this, due to her proud and aloof personality, she would not usually be so direct, let alone say something like "sleep together".
That is indeed the case, only this time it's a little different.
Cheng Yuqiu had been looking forward to taking her relationship to the next level, so she had even secretly decided on the style of underwear she would wear.
The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for her position as the official girlfriend.
But he couldn't let this delay the other party's important business, so Cheng Yuqiu became dejected after making his move.
Seeing this, Nie Qingyun thought for a moment, then reached behind her and patted the girl's bottom, saying:
"If Your Highness behaves well, I will come to pick you up this afternoon so we can go out together."
"They might sneak over at night, who knows?"
"Really? Then you absolutely have to come!"
Girls are creatures that can sometimes defy comprehension, even when you rack your brains, while at other times they are so pure that they can cheer and jump for joy over the smallest things.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this uncertainty that it appears so beautiful...
As he remarked this, looking at the young lady with her long, curved eyelashes, Nie Qingyun suddenly felt a mischievous urge to tease her, so he turned his head and whispered:
"If I bully you again, you're not allowed to complain."
After saying that, Nie Qingyun was already prepared to receive the little fists.
This time, however, Cheng Yuqiu did not pretend to be angry as usual, but instead unusually brought her lips close to his ear.
"As long as it's you... I don't mind kissing or having sex."
Chapter 302: Saotome's Confession!
Seeing Nie Qingyun walking with a hunched back, Saotome, who was following beside him, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then, with a mischievous glint in his eye, he deliberately moved a little closer, and said with a wicked smile:
"Yu Jue is really cute. Even I, as a girl myself, sometimes can't help but feel my heart flutter..."
"Senior must have had a hard time holding back just now, right?"
"You know that's good," Nie Qingyun's lips twitched slightly. The girl in front of him was now practically an acquaintance, so he decided not to pretend anymore. He straightened up and openly reached into his pocket to move the small tent to the side, at least making it look more normal from the outside. Then he continued to complain:
"So you deliberately stayed in the house just now, didn't you?"
"Disturbing someone's private time is not something a lady should do."
The two stood very close as they spoke, as if her secret thoughts had been exposed. In addition, Saotome was not good at interacting with boys, and her feigned composure crumbled instantly.
"I, I didn't..." the girl said, subconsciously adjusting her round-framed glasses as if trying to hide her panic through the clear lenses.
Seeing that his opponent had been defeated so quickly, Nie Qingyun lost interest in continuing to tease him. He simply chuckled and continued walking forward.
"If you're envious, why don't you just get a boyfriend?"
"With your status as a favorite of Qin Hehuan and your adorable appearance, if even a little bit of news about you were to spread, those boys would probably fight tooth and nail over you."
Saotome suddenly stopped in her tracks, realizing that her heart was racing uncontrollably.
This throbbing sensation that accompanied her breathing was a very novel experience for the inexperienced young girl.
Naturally, this feeling was easily defined as a sign of being in love.
The final compliment gave the girl a courage she never had before.
After a brief moment of surprise, Saotome suddenly quickened her pace and grabbed Nie Qingyun's sleeve.
This time, she wanted to provide a proper follow-up to last night's farce.
"Senior, you just said I'm cute, right?"
"Then...so..." The girl struggled to lift her face and look at the other person:
"How about you give me a try...?"
"If you're finding it hard to endure, use me to relieve the pain!"
The girl's voice was surprisingly forceful, as if she had mustered up her courage. Nie Qingyun was so surprised by this sudden scene that his eyes widened slightly.
Just as I was about to speak, I caught a glimpse of a very subtle scene out of the corner of my eye.
Saotome was not tall to begin with; even when she stood on tiptoe, she could barely reach her shoulder.
Thanks to this, the entire view inside his collar was exposed to his sight.
You can even glimpse that touch of cherry blossom pink from the edge of the bra.
Not only that, the other party's wording was also very ambiguous.
The word "use" in this context carries an indescribable erotic connotation.
But at the same time, these two words also reveal a lot.
It is full of self-objectification, and also a kind of negation.
Girls would absolutely never use such words to themselves.
Nie Qingyun, who was always quite sensitive to such matters, immediately sensed the hint of inferiority hidden in the other person's heart.
Thinking back on the girl's behavior last night, Nie Qingyun's expression immediately became much more serious, and he took a step back.
"Ya Yi, forgive me for speaking frankly, but even if I do something to you, it won't change the things between me and Qin Hehuan."
What truly unites us on the same side is a shared and equal interest.
“I’ve already explained this to her, so you don’t need to force yourself like this in the future.”
"That's not how it is!" Saotome interrupted immediately when she saw that the other party had misunderstood, but when she met the questioning look, she suddenly became timid and trembled as she gripped the hem of her skirt.
But since things had already gone this far, it was hard to just let it end like this; she... also wanted to be loved.
"Rinne... she's also senpai's girlfriend, right..."
"She told me about what happened before she came here."
"If that's the case... I can do it too!"
As she spoke, the girl suddenly bent over forcefully, burying her head very low:
"I can be your senior's girlfriend too!"
"My feelings for you... will never be inferior to anyone else's!"
"So please go out with me!"
Nie Qingyun was completely stunned, because he had never expected the other party to actually do it.
After a moment of silence, looking at the girl who was still waiting for a reply, Nie Qingyun finally sighed and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
"I'm sorry, I'm not ready to respond to your feelings yet."
Upon hearing this reply, Saotome trembled, clearly deeply saddened.
Even so, Nie Qingyun had no intention of taking back what he had just said.
Because his relationship with Saotome was far from reaching the point of discussing love.
Moreover, the other party seemed to have no idea of the weight and meaning of those two words.
Therefore, in such situations, the most correct approach is to clearly refuse without leaving the other party with any illusions.
But he couldn't just leave her alone. Seeing the girl's shoulders trembling, Nie Qingyun took a step back, leaned against the wall, and slowly said:
"For Yai, is the word 'love' a verb or a noun?"
Saotome straightened up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and despite still being dizzy from the "heartbreak," she subconsciously answered:
"Of course it's a verb..."
"Levy once said that love is the act of showing love."
"That really is your style," Nie Qingyun looked up at the girl and slowly shook his head.
"However, I think it's actually more complicated..."
As he spoke, he stubbed out his cigarette and then slowly said:
"I think the source of this feeling comes from the process by which humans confirm their own subjectivity through objects, that is, the process of seeking recognition."
"It must be a two-way process that ultimately and always leads to equality."
"To achieve this, one must 'cut' oneself, but humans possess 'free will'."
"This means that there must be a lot of pain involved."
"Only by experiencing these things can we be qualified to exchange our lives."
"I love you" is, in my opinion, the purest, strongest, and most extreme form of recognition for someone.
"It is an absolute recognition of the humanity of the beloved, and therefore the purest and most maximal satisfaction of humanity."
"Therefore, a person who has been loved is the one who has experienced the highest dignity."
"If such a thing could be achieved so easily, then humanity would be immersed in happiness long ago."
"Advice from a senior," Nie Qingyun said, raising his hand to ruffle the girl's hair before turning and waving his hand.
"Aside from war, nothing in this world can bring a greater violent impact to a person's life than love."
"As for me... I'm not confident I can take good care of Mei."
"You'll have to be more careful about who you confess to next time."
These words were truly Nie Qingyun's heartfelt words. Love is not an easy thing, and if he understood this, the other person probably wouldn't be too sad.
However, what he didn't see was that the girl behind him had a brighter light in her eyes than ever before.
