“I’m asking you a question, answer me,” Mu Anxiao stared intently at Feng Qishi’s face.
Feng Qishi had always liked Mu Anxiao, but he had never thought of saying "I love you" to her. Her sudden question put him in a real bind.
“…” His eyes flickered away, hoping his silence would make Mu Anxiao speechless and shift her gaze.
However, Mu Anxiao wouldn’t give up. “I’m asking you, why is loving someone deeply only painful? Shouldn’t it be happiness when loving someone deeply?”
“How should I know?” Feng Qishi responded helplessly.
Mu Anxiao blinked her eyes and continued, “Don’t you love your master? By all rights, you should understand that feeling, shouldn’t you?”
“…” Feng Qishi was utterly speechless.
Mu Anxiao: “…” She remained silent, determined to keep staring at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi met Mu Anxiao’s gaze, then said with resignation, “I respect my master. Besides, the love they speak of isn’t that kind of love. It’s… the love between men and women. You and me, me and you. Do you think… am I the right person to answer this question for you?”
“No,” Mu Anxiao shook her head and tutted, “I’m asking the wrong person.” With that, she turned her attention back to Lin Yan and the wolf demon.
This time, Feng Qishi didn’t look away. Instead, he gazed intently at Mu Anxiao’s profile, wondering what her reaction would be if he were to say those three words, "I love you," to her.
Driven by this curiosity, he hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Silly Mu.”
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at Feng Qishi. “What?”
“I love you,” Feng Qishi declared with unwavering conviction.
Immediately after Feng Qishi spoke these words, Mu Anxiao’s lips curved downwards, and she then raised her hand to cover her chest, saying, “Crazy Shen, when you say that, I feel a tightness in my heart.”
“…” Feng Qishi’s expression froze. He glanced at the wolf demon and Lin Yan, who had turned their attention to them, and asked, “Is it that tight feeling?”
“Yes,” Mu Anxiao complied, nodding.
Feng Qishi then smiled, “Her kind of pain is this feeling of tightness.”
“Why?” Mu Anxiao asked, puzzled.
At the same time, Lin Yan glanced at the maidservant, who, like Mu Anxiao, was clutching her chest and weeping loudly. He paused for a moment, then looked at Feng Qishi, awaiting his reply.
The wolf demon did the same.
“Because,” Feng Qishi said, putting his hands behind his back and feigning an air of knowing everything, “when a couple loves each other, there’s a feeling of exhilaration, a feeling of extreme comfort and happiness. But…” He trailed off, his gaze fixed on Mu Anxiao’s face.
Mu Anxiao met Feng Qishi’s eyes, slowly lowering her hand from her chest, her expression full of curiosity. “But… what?”
Lin Yan and the wolf demon found Feng Qishi’s words to be quite logical, and they both moved closer to him.
“But, if one of the lovers…”
“Master, what does ‘cheating’ mean?” Lin Yan interrupted.
Feng Qishi wasn’t angered. He glanced at Lin Yan and continued to play the role of a love guru, explaining, “Cheating means that in a couple, one of them gets involved with someone else.”
“Isn’t that called betrayal?” Lin Yan fixated on the word.
Feng Qishi was speechless.
The wolf demon forcefully pushed Lin Yan’s head from behind, exclaiming angrily, “Can’t you show some respect to your master and stop interrupting? You’re really asking for a beating like this.” He pushed Lin Yan’s head again.
“Got it,” Lin Yan said, rubbing the back of his head with a wronged expression, and looked at Feng Qishi, “Master, I won’t interrupt you anymore.”
“Remember your promise,” Feng Qishi thought the wolf demon had done the right thing this time.
Lin Yan nodded.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Lin Yan, still looking curious, and urged, “Hurry up and tell us.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you,” Feng Qishi said, lowering his head to think for a moment before asking, “Where was I?”
“Cheating.” Although Mu Anxiao had spent little time in the current world, she had learned many things. Therefore, she understood Feng Qishi’s words.
“Let me start again,” Feng Qishi said. “When a couple loves each other, they feel a sense of immense comfort, to the point where seeing the other person makes them forget all their troubles. But, if, during their loving journey, one of them cheats, the other will become angry, will feel a tightness in their chest. At this point, it’s called loving someone deeply and feeling only pain – heartache, liver pain, pain all over.”
“You’re really good at making things up,” the wolf demon said, “but what you’ve made up is quite reasonable.”
Feng Qishi was able to summarize this largely thanks to Mu Anxiao. Why Mu Anxiao? Because… after he said those three words to Mu Anxiao, he had imagined himself being betrayed by her and considered his own psychological state.
Therefore, he recounted this, which he felt was a profound explanation, based on his own feelings. As expected, the wolf demon was convinced.
He couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of admiration for himself.
“…” He pursed his lips and smiled.
“As expected of someone who’s read ‘Domineering CEO’ novels,” Mu Anxiao said, looking up at Feng Qishi and nodding. “Your summaries are always so well-articulated.”
Feng Qishi’s face froze.
Mu Anxiao, unfazed, turned to look at the maidservant’s retreating figure and sighed, “Her heart must feel even tighter than mine.” She shook her head.
The wolf demon: “…” He stared at Feng Qishi’s profile and snickered.
Feng Qishi’s expression stiffened, and he shot a look at the wolf demon who was snickering at him. “What are you laughing at?”
“I never thought that with your tough guy’s face, you’d be doing things little girls do in private. Truly,” the wolf demon shook his head in amazement, “you can’t judge a book by its cover, nor can you measure the sea with a dipper.”
Tough guy? Feng Qishi had wanted to be a tough guy since he was young, but people always called him a pretty boy. Now, hearing this from the wolf demon’s mouth…
He was both surprised and delighted. “Do you really think I’m a tough guy?”
“That was in the past.”
“…” Feng Qishi tsked. “Can’t you just call me a tough guy to my face? It won’t kill you.”
“…” The wolf demon felt Feng Qishi was being unreasonable and shifted his gaze away from his face, looking towards the maidservant who was slowly crouching down. He frowned.
“Master, you’re a real tough guy,” Lin Yan said, giving him a thumbs-up.
“…” Feng Qishi smiled. “Even though I know you’re not being sincere, it’s quite pleasant to hear those words from you.”
“Master…”
Unexpectedly, just as Lin Yan was about to earnestly continue flattering Feng Qishi, Mu Anxiao’s voice suddenly came from the wood shed, “Why are you crying?”
Hearing this, Lin Yan quickly swallowed the words he was about to speak and looked towards the maidservant.
The maidservant, while sobbing, said, “Mu Anxiao, can you help me?” She was crying in ragged gasps.
