Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

Chapter 73 A Tenderness That's Frightening

"Knock-"

Jiang Shiyuan knocked nervously on the door and whispered, "Qi Ye, it's me. May I come in?"

A few minutes passed, but Lin Qiye did not come to open the door.

"If Qi Ye doesn't open the door, has he fainted inside...?" Jiang Shiyuan listened intently at the doorway. The inside was completely silent. She turned and looked at the others with pleading eyes. "Should I knock again?"

Xia Simeng stroked her chin. "Why don't you just go in?"

The accompanying doctor pondered for a moment, then surprisingly nodded in agreement with Xia Simeng's suggestion, "I think it's okay. He's been inside for over ten hours from yesterday to today. Just open the door and go in."

Jiang Shiyuan pouted. So why did she have to go and call Lin Qiye? The captain made Lin Qiye's condition sound so serious, as if he might go crazy at any moment. It made her afraid of upsetting him.

The doctor adjusted his glasses and explained, "You were the first to tell Lin Qiye the truth when he was in despair. You also provided that forbidden item. Moreover, I heard that you and he have a very good relationship. Now he is on edge, and among us, you are the best person to wake him up."

Now that things have come to this point, even if she didn't want to go, she had to. Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and gently turned the doorknob.

The room was dimly lit. Lin Qiye was curled up on the bed with his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed.

Jiang Shiyuan went inside and saw Lin Qiye sleeping in the dim light. She turned around, intending to go out and wait for him to wake up, but the door behind her had already been gently closed.

Jiang Shiyuan: "..."

No, I know you're worried that too many people will upset Lin Qiye, but you can't close the door so quickly, can you?

She sat down helplessly by Lin Qiye's bedside, unsure whether to wake him or wait for him to wake up quietly.

She raised her hand and then lowered it, finally taking the blanket next to her and covering Lin Qiye with it, trying to wake him up by warming him up.

As she covered him with the blanket, the blanket fell gently, but the slight force seemed to trigger something, and Lin Qiye opened his eyes and suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“Seven Nights! Seven Nights is me, I am Jiang Shiyuan.” The sharp gaze made Jiang Shiyuan stutter.

Lin Qiye's gaze slowly focused, and he saw that the person sitting by the bed was Jiang Shiyuan. He loosened his grip a little, rubbed his forehead, and muttered, "What are you doing here? Didn't you already return to the capital? Is this a hallucination... Never mind, it seems that I really have a mental problem."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye released Jiang Shiyuan's hand and was about to lie back down and close his eyes.

Jiang Shiyuan nudged Lin Qiye's shoulder, feeling that her voice had never been so gentle before, "I've come back from the capital to see you, Qiye, how are you now?"

Lin Qiye opened his eyes again, and after confirming that it was a real person, he asked in confusion, "Why are you back?"

Jiang Shiyuan felt that Lin Qiye was indeed sick. Hadn't she just answered this question? She looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a silly child and replied lovingly, "I've come back to see you."

Lin Qiye: "...I'm asking why you came back to see me."

Jiang Shiyuan couldn't be so compassionate anymore. She'd heard that mental patients were very fragile. If she directly told him she was coming back to take him to a mental hospital, wouldn't Lin Qiye have a relapse...?

"I called the captain yesterday to ask about your situation. I was a little worried about you, so... are you alright now?" Jiang Shiyuan's voice was gentle as water, carefully choosing each word, very cautious.

Lin Qiye blinked, looking quite helpless. "It was fine at first, but now that you're speaking so gently, I'm starting to get a little scared."

Jiang Shiyuan's smile vanished instantly, her composure crumbling in a second. "You've locked yourself in your room, no wonder I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing."

Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Shiyuan had returned to normal. In fact, he hadn't slept much from yesterday to today and had been sitting in his room all day.

Saying he's in a good state is a lie. When he was a child, he saw a seraphim on the moon who was sent to a mental hospital as a mental patient. Later, he awakened to the Divine Realm, pushed open the door of the mental hospital in his dream, and successfully proved his mental health.

Unexpectedly, he has now really developed mental problems, and he even voluntarily entered a mental hospital. The director of the mental hospital has become mentally ill himself. It's truly a cruel twist of fate. He will probably never be able to get rid of the word "mental illness" in this lifetime.

So he locked himself in his room not only because he was afraid of suddenly falling ill and bothering others, but also because he couldn't accept the fact.

He had stayed up all night and was afraid that if he didn't sleep, his tense state would make him more prone to accidents. However, he still couldn't fall asleep after lying down, so he had to focus his mind on the hospital and play cards with Li Yifei to distract himself. That's why he didn't notice Jiang Shiyuan coming in.

Jiang Shiyuan came in suddenly, and he wasn't prepared. He hadn't slept all night, so he was probably not in a good state. Fortunately, he had drawn the curtains, and the room was dark, so Jiang Shiyuan couldn't see his bloodshot eyes.

Lin Qiye reached out and ruffled Jiang Shiyuan's soft black hair, his voice filled with a lazy laugh, "Don't worry, you've already trained me to be calm and collected. No matter what you say, I'll remain composed."

"It's good that you can still handle it. Aren't you moved to see me today?" Jiang Shiyuan stood up and opened the curtains a crack. The morning sunlight was not dazzling and shone into the dark room, giving it a soft color.

“I asked the captain to pass on a message to you yesterday, but Lao Zhao just said you didn’t come out all night. Now that I think about it, it’s just right. Some things are more atmospheric when said in person.” Jiang Shiyuan turned around and tilted her head to look at Lin Qiye’s handsome face, which was as handsome as ever.

Lin Qiye slightly curled the corners of his lips, "Is there anything you want the captain to tell me?"

"..."

"I told you I wanted to go back to Cangnan with you to see the snow next year."

Speaking of watching the snow, Jiang Shiyuan seemed to remember something and took out a gift box from the backpack behind her. "Here, this is for you."

Lin Qiye accepted the gift box, a slight tremor in his heart. "Watching the snow?"

Jiang Shiyuan crossed her arms and gestured with her chin to Lin Qiye to open the gift box.

"Didn't I say I'd give you a belated birthday present? I kept my word. But I didn't know what you wanted, so I just bought something I liked. I hope you don't mind. I was planning to send it to you on your actual birthday, but I had to give it to you earlier."

Lin Qiye untied the ribbon on the gift box, opened the box, and took out the contents. He felt as if his heart was being wrapped up, soft and tender.

"Hehe~ That's right, it's a snowman and a snow globe, isn't it beautiful?" Jiang Shiyuan pulled Lin Qiye up. "You know how obsessed I am with snow, right? This year I built eighteen snowmen, and next year I've decided to build nineteen!"

Jiang Shiyuan clenched her fist, as if she could already see a bunch of snowmen waving at her.

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, "Nineteen snowmen..."

"So you'd better focus on getting better, otherwise I'll be stuck with this all by myself~"

"I promise you."

Jiang Shiyuan nodded in satisfaction, turned around and prepared to open the door, "Then let's go out, there are many people outside who are worried about you."

Lin Qiye lowered his head and smiled, a hint of tenderness rippling in his dark pupils. A strange emotion welled up within him; he couldn't quite understand its source, but...

At that moment, he seemed to have a strong urge to do something.

Just as Jiang Shiyuan's hand touched the handle, Lin Qiye followed his heart, reached out and pulled Jiang Shiyuan into his arms.

"!!"

Caught off guard, Jiang Shiyuan was suddenly embraced by a refreshing hug, and her mind went blank for a moment.

With his strong muscles, robust frame, and vibrant aura, being embraced by Lin Qiye felt wonderful.

She has hugged countless girls, but she has never hugged a boy!

This embrace was new and warm to her, carrying a body temperature and heartbeat different from hers.

"I'm sorry to have worried you all." Lin Qiye hugged Jiang Shiyuan tightly, pulling her arm close. "I hope I won't break my promise for the first snow next year."

Jiang Shiyuan's heart pounded. She buried her head in Lin Qiye's chest, her nose filled with his scent.

The embrace of a pure-looking male high school student is a bit thrilling.

This...this...isn't this tempting her to commit a crime?!

Jiang Shiyuan snapped out of her daze, her face flushed red, and she shoved Lin Qiye aside before rushing out of the room.

"You broke your promise, so what... I'm not going to do anything to you! Why did you have to make such a fuss..."
