Chapter 213 Confidence
Chapter 213: Confession
Long Yan can be considered a very humble second-generation immortal. Despite her high status, she doesn't have any airs, and most importantly, she doesn't act domineeringly and understands how to empathize with others.
However, she underestimated Zhang Chi.
Just borrowing some seeds, am I such a stingy person, little brother?
Borrow as much as you want, no need to be polite, little brother.
"What are you talking about, sister?"
Zhang Chi clearly knew, but deliberately asked.
Long Yan sensed his bad intentions and felt a surge of embarrassment.
Before, she only thought Zhang Chi was good, but today she saw his bad side.
However, unlike Yin Xun, even if Zhang Chi showed his mischievous side, she didn't dislike him at all, and even liked him a little.
Long Yan glared at Zhang Chi in embarrassment, trying to show her dominance.
In any case, she would never mention those things.
It's too embarrassing. When she wrote the letter, she was still carried away by her excitement at the time. If she had waited a little longer, she wouldn't have sent the letter.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi also knew that she was almost at her limit and should give her some leeway.
"Is sister talking about the matter of becoming Dao companions?"
Zhang Chi brought it up on his own, and Long Yan shyly nodded.
"Is sister regretting it?"
Zhang Chi kept calling her sister, which made Long Yan feel pressured. And when he asked this question, Long Yan's heart tightened.
What would Zhang Chi do if she said she regretted it?
Would he just let it go and pretend that the words in the letter were never said?
Thinking of this, Long Yan felt like her heart was being clenched by a hand, suffocating and painful.
So, she was also such a hypocritical person. Clearly, she didn't want to pretend that the letter was never written, clearly, she hoped that Zhang Chi would agree to her request, yet she put on an appearance of being aloof and not needing anyone.
Actually, deep down, she vaguely knew that with Zhang Chi's personality, how could he not help her when he knew she was in trouble?
"In the end, I am not a good sister."
Long Yan reproached herself in her heart, but she still couldn't say the word "regret".
She was worried that if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity, she might lose Zhang Chi.
Long Yan's heart was in turmoil. After a long silence, she finally made a selfish decision.
"I don't regret it, but I'm afraid you will. I don't want to force you..."
And I don't want to let you go.
Not having children with Zhang Chi, does that mean she would have children with another man?
She couldn't accept this outcome.
If there was no Zhang Chi in her heart, for the sake of family inheritance, she might be able to endure it.
But now that someone was already in her heart, how could she bear it?
Long Yan also prepared for the worst.
At that time, she would get Zhang Chi drunk and secretly borrow his seed.
Since Zhang Chi already had someone he loved, there was no need to force him to marry her.
"Sister, don't worry, I agree."
Zhang Chi saw that she was speaking slowly and estimated that things were almost over with Wenren Li, so he quickly interrupted her and sped up.
Long Yan was stunned. She didn't expect Zhang Chi to agree so quickly.
"This... you..."
"You seem to lack confidence in yourself? How could I refuse such a beautiful woman who wants to spend a good night with me?"
Zhang Chi smiled and spoke lightly, but Long Yan heard a hint of helplessness in his words.
At this moment, Long Yan understood.
Zhang Chi wasn't a frivolous person. He said those words probably because he sensed her self-reproach and guilt, so he deliberately said them, pretending not to care.
Clearly, he had said that he had someone he loved, and no matter how beautiful others were, they were just ordinary.
But now he praised her beauty, how could it not be comforting?
He was really too gentle...
Long Yan was moved in her heart, but also felt a sourness.
She envied Tang Ruoling. Although she didn't become Zhang Chi's Dao companion, she won his heart.
And she became the person who forced Zhang Chi to betray his loved one.
"Thank you."
Long Yan's emotions were complicated. She picked up the wine glass and drank it down, unable to hide the mixed feelings in her heart.
Sourness, because the person she liked already had someone in his heart.
Sweetness, because she finally had the opportunity to get this man.
Bitterness, because she would ultimately hurt Zhang Chi...
Only alcohol could suppress her emotions.
"I agreed to you, why are you even sadder? I thought you would be very proud."
Gu Youyou was very surprised.
Clearly, Zhang Chi had completely captivated Long Yan, but she could feel that Zhang Chi's mood wasn't good.
"Because you don't understand people's hearts."
Zhang Chi picked up Long Yan and placed her on the bed.
This is not the first time she has gotten drunk and ended up lying on her own bed, but it is the first time she has opened up so freely.
Gu Youyou saw that Zhang Chi was unwilling to explain, so she asked, "Why? Why?"
She is a curious baby. If she doesn't figure things out, she will feel uncomfortable.
Mainly because she is idle now, Zhang Chi doesn't need her to practice martial arts, nor does he need her to do anything.
With nothing to do, she naturally likes to gossip.
Being annoyed by her, Zhang Chi finally said, "The ones they like about me are just my disguise. What's there to be proud of?"
"Uh..."
"Don't think too much, I'm just being melodramatic."
Zhang Chi sighed lightly.
People always have melodramatic moments, especially when it's late at night and quiet, it's easy to enter a state of melancholy.
If it weren't for the pressures of life, who would want to live a pretentious life?
But in this world, the weak truly have no sense of security.
As a transmigrator, Zhang Chi doesn't have the expectation of standing at the top of all living beings, but he also doesn't want to be trampled in the mud.
So he has to fight, without power or influence, he has to disguise himself and attach himself to the powerful and the strong.
Having gotten used to insincerity, he won't give his true heart.
Moreover, after pretending for a long time, what others like about him is only his appearance. If he were to expose his true self, others would probably be disappointed.
So, once he starts pretending, he must pretend to the end. If the facade collapses halfway, the consequences would be severe.
As a member of the Demon Race, Gu Youyou naturally cannot understand Zhang Chi, but she feels that there is something she doesn't understand.
"If you pretend in front of others just to protect yourself, then taking down Long Yan should be enough. There's no need to provoke Miao Yin, right?"
Before Long Yan, Miao Yin still had some value.
Now that he has Long Yan, what does he need Miao Yin for?
"The more friends, the more paths!"
Gu Youyou: "..."
That's what you said, but why does your tone sound off?
Is what you're saying serious?
While Gu Youyou was still pondering, Wenren Li quietly arrived.
Seeing Long Yan asleep, Wenren Li smiled and said, "You move fast!"
She is also a smart person and has secretly observed Zhang Chi for some time, so she naturally knows the relationship between them.
She doesn't have any aversion to Zhang Chi's behavior.
She herself has come out of dangerous situations, so how could she not know how cruel the world can be?
She admires Zhang Chi for being able to seize the moment and make choices that benefit himself.
Admiring Zhang Chi is also admiring herself.
As for using less-than-honorable means, so what?
Compared to real villains, they are already quite gentle.
"You came slower than I imagined."
"Wasn't it to give you enough time?"
"Alright, stop talking and let's get started!"
Zhang Chi knew Wenren Li's intentions, and between them, there was no need for foreplay. Both of them had clear goals, so they could just get started.
Wenren Li was a bit surprised and asked, "Are you not afraid she might wake up suddenly?"
"Wouldn't that be more exciting?"
Wenren Li: "..."
She thought Zhang Chi was cautious and careful, but she didn't expect him to be a crazy person as well.
However, she was starting to like Zhang Chi more and more.
In him, she discovered traits that were similar to her own.
That night, Long Yan did not sleep soundly.
In a daze, she heard strange sounds around her, like a dream, making her blush, her heart race, and her body heat up.
When she opened her eyes, it was already morning.
After looking around, Long Yan realized that she was once again sleeping on Zhang Chi's bed, while Zhang Chi was meditating and cultivating beside her.
He really is diligent.
There was a faint floral scent in the air. It turned out that there were several vases in the room, filled with flowers.
So Zhang Chi is actually so romantic?
"These are King's Flowers, also known as Lover's Hearts."
Zhang Chi noticed that Long Yan had woken up and was looking at the flowers in the room, so he introduced them to her.
Long Yan became curious and asked, "Why does it have two names, and such a big difference?"
"It's called King's Flower because wherever it grows, only its fragrance will be present. Other scents will be absorbed and transformed into its floral scent, hence the name King's Flower."
Long Yan nodded, finding it reasonable.
"Then what about Lover's Hearts?"
"Because of its characteristics, it only allows its own fragrance to exist. Doesn't that resemble the mentality of loving someone, wanting to be the only one in their world?"
Can it be interpreted like that?
Long Yan was very surprised, but she also found it very romantic.
However, why did Zhang Chi put these flowers in the room?
Was he implying that a lover's heart can only become the sole existence in the other person's world?
Was he hinting that his heart will always have only one person?
Long Yan subconsciously thought in a pessimistic direction, but she also had a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps Zhang Chi was trying to tell her that he also had feelings for her?
Long Yan pondered the extended meaning of the flowers for a long time.
But she didn't know that these flowers were purely used to absorb odors...
