The resentful best friend travels through daily life

(There is a small change in the previous chapter. I suggest you read the previous chapter first and then read this chapter together (?????))

Shen You patted Li Chen on the shoulder and praised him, "Good boy, if you work hard in the future, you will surely bring honor to your family."

After saying that, Shen You went into the tent, leaving Li Chen, who was praised, scratching his ears and blushing.

Qi Ji, who was standing not far away, concealed the emotions in his eyes and tried hard to suppress the jealousy surging in his heart.

Unrequited love is an extremely torturous thing.

Your mood is affected by that person's every move, but she is completely unaware of it.

But she is also a very good person who will care about you, take care of you, stand up for you, and fight for you.

So much so that when she is nice to others, you have no position and no way to find a reason to justify your unhappiness.

Because you know, that's just who she is.

There was no one in the tent, so Shen You carefully took out his double swords.

These two swords have been with her for a year and she never leaves them. She is so familiar with them.

At this moment, I felt shy.

Shen You stroked the hilt of the knife. The dark cloud pattern was lifelike, elegant and natural, as if Qi Ji had picked clouds from the sky and embedded them in the hilt.

Suddenly, Shen You discovered that there was a cloud pattern that was different, darker, and hidden at the junction of the handle and the blade, making it difficult to find.

Shen You thought it was dust, so he took a handkerchief and wiped the cloud pattern carefully.

But I never thought that there was a mechanism hidden here.

The cloud pattern on the handle actually began to flow, emitting a soft blue and white light.

"I go!"

Shen You was so scared that he almost threw the knife away.

Why does this knife have a mechanism?

Why didn't Qi Ji ever tell her about this?

The cloud pattern flowed on the handle of the knife, recombined, and actually formed the faint shape of words.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the cloud pattern stopped flowing, and the words and love on it were about to emerge.

The handle of the knife was engraved by Qi Ji himself a year ago.

"I only wish my love to be happy and healthy."

Shen You only felt that at that moment fireworks exploded in her head, frying her to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The fireworks fell on her heart and grew tiny buds.

"I only wish my love—"

"Be happy and healthy."

Shen You recited in a low voice, enunciating each word with extreme seriousness.

"My love?"

At this time, Zhou Ning happened to walk in and saw Shen You holding two swords, muttering to himself: "Let me sort it out, let me sort it out carefully."

Seeing that she looked lost, Zhou Ning stepped forward and knocked on her head: "What are you doing? What are you thinking about so intently?"

As if she had found a backer, Shen You pulled Zhou Ning and said, "A Ning, can you translate for me, what does wuai mean?"

"Ah?" Zhou Ning was confused by Shen You's incoherent words and asked, "What Wu, what obstacle?"

Outside the tent, Qi Ji calmed down and prepared to explain to Youzi and Aning about going to the front line tomorrow.

Shen You held the two swords and motioned Zhou Ning to look at the words on the handles.

"I only wish my love to be happy and healthy."

Zhou Ning read the words on the hilt and said expressionlessly, "It's the person I like. Don't you know how to read?"

Shen You asked, "Don't you think it's weird to see these words on the hilt?"

Zhou Ning stood up and went to pack up his things, saying, "Indeed, Qi Ji must have made a mechanism on the handle of the knife. I'll go ask him how he did it some other day."

"No!" Shen You was surprised and anxious, and said, "Don't you think that this, I, this word..."

Zhou Ning said calmly: "It's obvious. Qi Ji likes you. When he made the double swords for you, he put a mechanism in them and wrote down his feelings for you, waiting for you to discover it yourself."

Shen You covered her burning face and asked, "Did Xiao Bai tell you about this?"

Zhou Ning shook his head and said, "No, there is a saying that those who are involved are confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly. Xiaobai and I have always known this."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

It turns out that everyone knows that Qi Ji likes her.

Zhou Ning said: "When it comes to emotional matters, it's best for you to discover them on your own."

Zhou Ning was curious and asked, "So, do you like Qi Ji or not?"

Qi Ji, who had just calmed down and arrived at the door of the tent, happened to hear these words.

He paused, his pupils dilated slightly, his white, bony hands clenched tightly, and his heart was pounding.

He didn't know why Youzi and Ning were talking about this topic, but he also wanted to know the answer.

Or rather, he didn't want to know the answer.

He was afraid... the answer would be no.

Shen You stared at Zhou Ning blankly, every detail of her and Qi Ji emerging in her mind.

The first time I saw him, he was a poor boy.

She had to admit that Qi Ji's looks, those eyes as warm as moonstone, his high nose bridge, and his pale and thin lips were exactly the type she liked.

Moreover, Qi Ji is gentle and polite. He can make her happy and affirm her talents and efforts.

But at that time, she didn't take Qi Ji seriously and only treated him as a playmate.

Later, she discovered that Qi Ji's noble status concealed such a miserable childhood, and she felt more sympathy for him.

When you discover Qi Ji's dark side, you will also think that he is just a little pitiful person.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, Qi Ji was injured for me, and I carried Qi Ji out on my back. What kind of feeling did I have when their lives were at stake?

Why did she refuse to let go when there was a flood, and even wanted to exchange her own life for his? What was her feeling?

When he was kidnapped, Qi Ji confronted his stepmother, who had been hiding for a long time, and came to rescue him. How did he feel?

The four of them have been through a lot together.

These things turned into red threads, binding her and Qi Ji together, like a silent love.

Shen You was silent for a long time.

Qi Ji outside the tent couldn't get the answer he wanted, but fortunately, he didn't get the answer he didn't want.

His fist loosened and tightened, but ultimately didn't go in.

Qi Ji was afraid that Shen You would feel embarrassed, so he decided to come back later.

But each step is more difficult than usual.

"I……"

When Qi Ji left, Shen You sorted out her thoughts and said softly, "I like it."

Unfortunately, her voice was too soft and too quiet for Qi Ji to hear.

"I do have feelings for him that are different from those for other people. I didn't know it before, but now it seems... I like him."

Shen You's eyes were curved and there was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, but it softened the past years.

Shen You smiled and said, "I asked Qi Ji before, and he said he only treated me as a sister, so I never thought about it that way."

Zhou Ning said, "Look at the difference between how Qi Ji treats you and me, and you can tell who is the younger sister."

Indeed, Qi Ji cares about Zhou Ning and takes care of her, but he does not understand her emotions and does not go out of his way to get to know her.

But Qi Ji can tell whether Shen You is happy or unhappy just by a look or a gesture. Sometimes, he can even notice Shen You's loss earlier than the thick-skinned Zhou Ning.
