I don't know," Fan Qingchen said softly.
"Then do you want to?"
"No!"
"Don't you miss me?"
"Why would I miss you?"
Qin Chuan thought of the massage he gave her before, the Yin-Yang Hand technique. But while Qin Chuan was thinking of this, Fan Qingchen had also thought of it.
At this moment, she was in the room, her face slightly flushed and hot. She didn't know why her face was hot, and thinking of that thing, that strange feeling in that instant, made her feel as if she were flying.
It was a strange feeling, indescribable, something she had never felt before, but she knew what it was.
Thinking of these things made her face flush even more, because it was Qin Chuan who had helped her. Although it was just his hand touching her shoulder, the pleasure reached its peak.
Just thinking about it made her panic. Qin Chuan's image in her mind became clearer and clearer, like a demon, his smile, and his clear eyes.
Unconsciously, she had a strange feeling, a feeling that was hard to describe, like a lonely, empty sanctuary in her heart. Originally, there was nothing there, desolate and empty, but now something had appeared—sparse vegetation.
But these sparks, like wildfire, made her feel completely different, a strange and novel sensation.
If you were to ask her now who the most important person in her life was, she wouldn't answer the same way as before. Before, she felt empty, her heart desolate.
But now, someone resided there—perhaps not so deeply etched in her memory, but definitely crystal clear.
After all, so much had happened before, especially the special state she had entered under his massage—a peak of life
, a peak of joy and happiness .
She didn't know why, but suddenly her heart was beating fast, yet she was incredibly happy; it was a wondrous feeling.
Heart fluttering!
Actually, she didn't know this was heart fluttering. You know, the most beautiful and blissful time in a person's life is when their heart flutters.
If it's just a man seeing a beautiful woman and feeling a flutter in his heart, that's not true heart fluttering; that's just lust.
True heart fluttering goes beyond that pounding heart; that wondrous feeling is indescribable—a combination of beauty, excitement, satisfaction, and that pounding heart.
Qin Chuan heard Fan Qingchen's heartbeat; it was a strange sensation. He didn't quite understand it, but something was off about this woman.
"Are you alright, Qingchen? Are you scared? Your heart is beating so fast. Should I come keep you company?" Qin Chuan kindly offered.
Fan Qingchen didn't speak. This rascal! Hearing Qin Chuan's words, she couldn't help but laugh: "Don't even think about it!"
"I just want to sleep next to you. I won't do anything, I just want to sleep next to you, okay?" Qin Chuan quickly said.
"No!" Fan Qingchen hesitated slightly this time.
"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.
"No reason, I just don't want to," Fan Qingchen said.
...
In the end, Qin Chuan couldn't get in. The next day, Qin Chuan and Fan Qingchen continued to the cave, continuing their study of the Buddha statue.
Back to how things were before, days passed. During the day, they looked at the Buddha statue, and at night, Qin Chuan tried to figure out how to break down the door.
But the door was too sturdy, and Qin Chuan's willpower was strong enough, but even after half a month, he still couldn't get Fan Qingchen to agree.
During the day, Qin Chuan would still hold her hand, even carrying her in his arms like a princess, and they would go for walks together, getting very close.
But that was all; Fan Qingchen's defenses were too strong, and it was impossible to break through them anytime soon.
Actually, Qin Chuan hadn't planned to break through so quickly. Firstly, he couldn't, and secondly, he didn't know why. This was fine; the process would leave Fan Qingchen with some special experiences and memories.
But Fan Qingchen had clearly become much happier these days, which was the most important thing. Seeing her happy made Qin Chuan very happy too.
"Qin Chuan!"
Another night, Fan Qingchen called out to Qin Chuan this time.
"I'm here, I'm here. Are you scared? Brother will come right away..." Qin Chuan said excitedly.
"You brat, shut up!" Fan Qingchen said angrily.
Qin Chuan was particularly happy now. Fan Qingchen's tone was becoming more and more like a woman's, showing her own emotions, which was a good thing.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, baby. Did you call me for something?" Qin Chuan said.
"Nothing!" Fan Qingchen said irritably.
Qin Chuan asked several times that night, but Fan Qingchen didn't say anything. However, Qin Chuan knew she would definitely tell him again later.
Sure enough, the next evening, Fan Qingchen spoke again: "Qin Chuan!"
"Hmm, baby, go ahead." This time Qin Chuan didn't dare to tease her too much, but
he still wanted to take advantage of her a little. However, Fan Qingchen was already used to his way of addressing her, so she didn't say anything, but asked: "What is love?"
This time it was Qin Chuan's turn to be stunned. What was going on? This woman was actually asking about love? Did he hear that right?
He knew he hadn't misheard, but he just hadn't expected this woman to ask this question one day.
This wasn't the first time Qin Chuan had discussed this question. It was a question without an answer. There were a hundred different interpretations and feelings about love for a hundred different people.
There was no right or wrong in love, only incompatibility. The best love was the one that suited you.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment before saying: "Love is when a man and a woman like each other, then live together, have a child, and then have a child... that's love..."
Fan Qingchen didn't react at all.
Qin Chuan was uneasy after speaking; he'd bluffed a bit. This was the worst he'd ever sounded when he said it, because he just wanted to see Fan Qingchen's reaction.
But Fan Qingchen didn't seem to feel anything.
Qin Chuan continued, "Actually, love is simple. When you have someone in your heart, a day apart feels like three autumns..."
Fan Qingchen trembled slightly, because this time, Qin Chuan's words struck a chord with her. She truly had someone else in her heart.
She didn't feel much about the last part, since Qin Chuan was with her every day. But she wondered if she would miss him if he left.
Maybe, she wasn't sure, but she knew she had someone in her heart.
"Do you have me in your heart?" Fan Qingchen asked softly.
"Yes, you're always on my mind."
"Besides me, how many others are there?" Fan Qingchen continued.
Qin Chuan coughed, almost choking on his own words, unsure what to say. Fan Qingchen was indeed on his mind, but so were others.
