Chapter 6

Chapter 6

He ShaoChen had returned from overseas not long ago. These people kept calling him and nagging him that they wanted to give him a good home-coming party so he had no choice but to come here.

It was only after he arrived that he realized Qin Yi was also here. He didn’t really like the black atmosphere around that guy so he went out to get some air. Who knew after he came back he would see Fang Xiao!

When had Fang Xiao come back? And when had he met up with Qin Yi? He ShaoChen’s head was full of questions but he knew that this wasn’t the appropriate moment to ask them. So he only smiled and said, “How come you didn’t tell me you came back?”

Ye Ming had hastily recovered himself. Back that time he was worried that once he left the world then this body would become a liability. So within the three days he was frantic to leave the country. So he asked the He ShaoChen who had always had an unrequited crush on him to help him. He didn’t realize Qin Yi already knew about this, but since this was the case then he would just go along with it.

He was still in Qin Yi’s arms but he seemed to forgotten to struggle. His face was very agitated. He lowered his eyes and whispered, “I’m sorry…”

Qin Yi’s palm pressed against the back of Ye Ming’s head. He pressed him against his chest and raised his head to look at He ShaoChen. He smiled but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “You’re very concerned about him?”

He ShaoChen narrowed his eyes. Just then he had been too shocked when he had seen Ye Ming and had acted thoughtlessly. But now he had calmed down and realized the situation was not right. Qin Yi’s expression was not right, he seemed to have misunderstood something between him and Ye Ming… or perhaps he was still carrying a grudge about Ye Ming leaving all those years ago.

At this time the crowd also felt like the atmosphere was strange. Who was this Fang Xiao? Not only had he made Qin Yi reveal a “mortal heart” but even He ShaoChen knew him.

{T/N: “Mortal heart”. I made a direct translation rather than using the meaning, because I think the Chinese is quite poignant. Think of a lofty immortal who seems above base things, but one day he reveals he has human desires too. This is his “mortal heart”.}

Everyone present knew that once upon a time He ShaoChen and Qin Yi were like the best of brothers. But three years ago for some unknown reason the two of them had cut off contact with each other. Even if wasn’t becoming enemies, then it was at the very least becoming strangers.

Now look at the two’s antagonistic attitude! It looked exactly as though they were fighting in jealousy over some person but… this wasn’t possible right?!

The fire of gossip had risen up in everyone’s eyes, so hot that Ye Ming felt his body was burning up.

Ye Ming’s state appeared even more humiliated. His body trembled slightly and his lips were extremely pale. But he didn’t move. If at this moment he angered Qin Yi then it would make the situation even more ugly.

He ShaoChen noticed Ye Ming’s expression and felt pained for him. He desperately wanted to snatch him over but after considering Ye Ming’s situation he didn’t do anything impulsive. If they really started fighting, it wouldn’t affect Qin Yi or him much but Ye Ming was a different story. So he calmed himself and sat down on one side as if nothing had happened. He said, “It was just a casual question.”
