Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 76 National Treasures Reign Supreme (11)

Although he knew it was unfair to Si Qi, he still compromised.

No matter what, he wouldn't actually kill the only son left by the eldest brother.

Moreover, Yi Yang has been by his side since childhood, and he knows his personality better than anyone. Indeed, with him, this girl will never suffer any hardship.

"I can agree to your request, but you must first agree to one condition. If you cannot do so, I will pretend I did not hear what you said to me today, and I will not stop you from doing anything. However, Si Qi will always be your cousin." The old man subtly curled the corners of his mouth, carefully observing his expression.

Si Yiyang said almost without hesitation, "I can agree to any conditions, Grandpa, as long as you approve of me being with Si Qi."

"Okay, I'm not an unreasonable person, as long as you agree to leave the research lab there and go to the army."

Shen Yun nodded in front of the screen. As expected, he was cunning and shrewd. All those years of experience had paid off. He had Si Yiyang completely fooled with just a few words.

2345 chuckled to himself: Hehehe, it seems the host has forgotten who their bargaining chip is.

Although Si Yiyang never wanted to take this path, and even though paleobotanical research, which was as important as his life, was not as important as Si Qi's, he had no choice. Despite the pain, he had no regrets.

If he didn't choose Si Qi, he thought his life would become meaningless.

Not long after, Si Yiyang was sent to the hospital. After all, the cane had really hit him without any fakery, and during this time, the room was surrounded by layers of people.

Even if he grew wings, he still couldn't fly away.

It was another eerie atmosphere, in that same study, with the familiar radio and the familiar "Peony Pavilion." Shen Yun's lips twitched; she could hardly believe what he meant.

"Xiao Qi, I'll make the decision about you and Yi Yang. You can just call me Grandpa."

"What do you mean?" Her smile froze, as if she was about to collapse.

The old man looked up in surprise, his wrinkles deepening. "Hey, weren't we talking about your marriage to Yi Yang? Don't worry, I watched Yi Yang grow up. He's just a little slow-witted, but otherwise he's fine. You won't suffer after marrying into the Si family."

"I'm only fifteen years old, it seems like I'm not old enough to get married right now."

Suddenly I felt a little regretful. If only I had resisted a little more, or knocked that bastard Si Yiyang unconscious and sent him back to the Si family, I could have done it all.

2345 provides a timely reminder: "Host, if your methods are too brutal during the mission, it will attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao rules, and you may not be able to return."

"Heaven is ruthless, and it might quite agree with what I'm doing."

2345: No, ruthlessness and cruelty are two different things.

The old man said, "What's wrong with being fifteen? In ancient times, fifteen would have been the age to have children. Of course, that's not what I meant. I just wanted you and Yi Yang to have a wedding first. You'll still sleep separately until you grow up and then you can sleep together. You can rest assured about that. Yi Yang will never do anything improper."

No, what I'm most worried about is that bastard. If I really agree, who knows what crazy things he'll do. She lowered her eyes, trying hard to think of a solution, "Otherwise, we could wait until I'm old enough to have a wedding, I'm really scared."

Although his grandson certainly hoped that he would get married as soon as possible, from his perspective, it was not good for Si Qi. Looking into her bright, innocent eyes, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long silence, the old man frowned and looked at her, "Alright, let's have the wedding three years from now, when you're eighteen?"

Although the question was directed at her, the tone was undeniably certain.

There was nothing she could do but say "Mmm" in a seemingly shy manner. After all, no one knew what would happen three years from now; life is unpredictable.

During Si Yiyang's hospitalization, Shen Yun visited him once, of course, on her own initiative.

2345 initially thought the host had a change of heart, but then realized the host wasn't such a kind-hearted person at all.

Sure enough, she started her sarcastic remarks as soon as she arrived.

Si Yiyang's injury was mainly on his back, so he had been lying face down. When he heard the sound outside the door, he subconsciously turned around to look. When he suddenly saw the person he had been longing for, he was overjoyed.

A pure white shirt paired with denim overalls, and long, straight hair tied into a ponytail with two strands falling in front, giving her a refreshing and clean look.

"Xiao Qi, come here."

Only a fool would go there.

She smiled and said, "I'll just stand here and talk. It's hot, and it's even hotter when people are close together."

"I'm so glad you agreed to what Grandpa said." Even though he knew she had no choice, he was still genuinely happy.

Shen Yun: "Si Yiyang, to be honest, I don't understand at all."

He struggled to get out of bed and stood opposite her, his lips turning pale white from the pain of his wound caused by the movement.

"We've only known each other for a little over a month. I've never believed in love at first sight. What are you so persistent about? If you don't agree, you can choose a career you like instead of being forced into the army."

His eyes shone with a captivating luster, as if they had been washed with water. He forced a smile, then suddenly chuckled, his whole demeanor becoming flamboyant. "You're right not to believe. I believe more in love that grows over time than love at first sight. But Siqi, sometimes, feelings don't just turn out the way you expect. Feelings are the most unpredictable thing. No one knows when they'll arrive, and no one knows when they'll leave. Maybe it'll happen in an instant, or maybe it'll seep into every aspect of life."

"Perhaps, in your eyes I am just a block of wood, lacking in romance, and you think that my relationship with you is just a passing fancy. But you don't know that only when I am with you can I feel my heart beating, and I can clearly know that my life has meaning."

He touched his chest, his pale face unable to conceal the overflowing happiness. "Being with you makes me happy all the time. I can't even imagine what my world would be like without you."

Shen Yun tilted her head, carefully examining him, then stepped forward, touched his face, her eyes devoid of any emotion, and said, word by word, "Si Yiyang, I should never have appeared in the first place. Whether you believe it or not, I should not exist in your world."
