Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Mo Hanyu was stunned: "What——"

"You still haven't found the problem yet?" Bai Ze was getting more and more incredulous, "Oh my God..."

"What do you mean?" Mo Hanyu frowned and stared at him.

"What do you mean? I really don't know what to say." Bai Ze stroked his forehead, feeling quite helpless. "Why don't you think about it yourself?"

"Switch places. How do you think you would react when you hear this?"

Mo Hanyu frowned deeply, his eyes becoming darker.

Suddenly, as if he finally understood something, he raised his head abruptly, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Do you understand?" Bai Ze looked at him.

"..." Mo Hanyu pursed his lips, his eyes complicated, "But I... don't mean to dislike him."

"I just think-"

"Do you think he's troublesome?" Shen Youge looked at him and couldn't help but sigh, "Han Yu, have you ever thought that he is different from you?"

"You've read his memories and heard him talk about his past. Don't you understand? He's different from you. You were always the one taking the initiative in your relationship with him. You wanted to change, but what you said was too extreme."

Shen Youge closed his eyes and shook his head: "That's all I have to say. Think about it yourself."

Mo Hanyu did not reply and sat on the ground for a long time without moving. Only after Shen Youge left did he look up suddenly, looking at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly thought of a question.

How did Shen Youge know?

Did Qin Xiao also tell him?

Thinking of the warm and relaxing atmosphere when Qin Xiao and Shen Youge were together before, Mo Hanyu frowned even more tightly.

Mo Hanyu was worried all the way, and he hadn't figured out how to face Qin Xiao until he returned to the dormitory. When he opened the door, he found that the dormitory was dark and there was no one.

Mo Hanyu was stunned.

"...Do you understand?" Yin Xihui finally helped Qin Xiao to string together all the knowledge. Even though he couldn't help showing some fatigue, he still asked with a smile.

"... Yeah, I guess I understand." Qin Xiao blinked and nodded.

Yin Xihui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He took a sip of tea with a smile.

"What smells so good? The tea you made?"

Miao Kaijie, with his upper body naked, suddenly came closer, and his heat hit his face, and Yin Xihui's smile paused.

"clothing."

Miao Kaijie, who had just taken a shower, had a towel draped over his shoulders. His hair was dripping with wet water, and his muscular chest rose and fell with his breathing. Water droplets slid down his chest until they seeped into the fabric under his waist and abdomen.

Miao Kaijie looked at him for a moment, smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and shot out a string, then pulled the short-sleeved shirt that he had thrown on the bed and put it on.

"Drinking tea in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of not being able to sleep?" Miao Kaijie put on his clothes, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"First, there will be no class tomorrow. Secondly, this tea can help you concentrate and help you sleep." Yin Xihui then retracted his gaze and took another sip of tea. He turned to see Qin Xiao staring at the teacup in his hand, "Do you want it? I have a lot more here."

"Is this... astatine flower?" Qin Xiao asked him, looking at the petals floating in the water.

"Yes." Yin Xihui put down the cup and nodded.

"Isn't that stuff very expensive? Ten silver coins for just a pinch...you need at least a hundred silver coins to make a cup." Miao Kaijie sighed, "You are really rich."

"Hehe..." Yin Xihui laughed twice and said nothing.

For someone like Miao Kaijie, it might be a sky-high price, but in the royal family, it was just the cheapest camellia.

"Is it okay?" Qin Xiao remembered that Qin Xiuyun also had a few cans. When he first returned home, he made them for him to drink every day, saying that it could help him relax and sleep.

"...You family members are so enviable." Miao Kaijie said with a few "tsk tsk" sounds, revealing a bit of envy.

Despite this, Qin Xiao did not feel any emotions such as envy from him.

"I wanted to ask before..." Qin Xiao looked at him, "Why did you say "people like us"? You've been to the mountains before, so shouldn't you also be the descendant of a certain family?"

Yin Xihui glanced at Qin Xiao calmly, then agreed with a smile, "That's right, I'm a little curious too."

“What’s there to be curious about…” Miao Kaijie sneered twice, sat down on his bed, and crossed his legs. “I did go there as that guy’s offspring, but he’s not my biological father. He just married my mother…”

Miao Kaijie's voice weakened, he looked away for a moment, then smiled again: "Oh, actually I'm quite surprised that only that guy did such a thing."

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiao still didn't quite understand. But Yin Xihui already knew the general idea.

"Is that so?" Yin Xihui smiled knowingly. Facing Qin Xiao's puzzled look, he did not explain it to him, but looked at Miao Kaijie, "Can I tell you?"

"Just tell me. I don't know if your guess is right or not." Miao Kaijie didn't seem to care.

So Yin Xihui said: "What he meant is that some families will adopt a child from outside, or adopt a child born by a partner, and let them go into the mountains."

"It means to die in place of your own offspring."

"After all, no matter what the original purpose of going into the mountains was, it has almost become a high-mortality elimination game for our generation, but we still have to participate. It's normal for some people to love their children and not want them to take risks."

"Am I right?" Yin Xihui looked at Miao Kaijie.

"...What a pity, you are right." Miao Kaijie's smile faded a little, and his usual unrestrained temperament disappeared without a trace at some point.

Miao Kaijie is very similar to Shen Youge in some ways. Both of them give people an invisible sense of oppression when they have no expression on their faces. Unlike Shen Youge's natural appearance, Miao Kaijie gives people this feeling because of his aura.

There is always a vague sense of world-weariness about him, and his eyes are sharp, as if he is examining something, but he has always concealed this well with a smile on his face. Once the smile fades, you will find that there is a frightening ferocity hidden between his brows.

“At first I thought most of you were this kind of people, picking up a beggar from the street to send his child to die in the mountains instead of his own... I didn’t expect you were serious.” Miao Kaijie quickly laughed again, looking at the two of them, his narrowed black eyes could not reflect any figure, “Especially Yin Xihui... your father is really willing to let him go.”

"What's there to be reluctant about? His feelings for me may be even worse than those of a beggar on the street." Yin Xihui's brows showed a rare hint of sarcasm, and he replied with a smile.

"What about you? How does your father treat you?" Miao Kaijie looked at Qin Xiao.

"I think it's pretty good." Qin Xiao told the truth.

"…If it were really good, I wouldn't let you go there."

Miao Kaijie sneered softly, with a hint of indifference between his brows.

"You can't say that. After all, it's your own business. How can you let others bear the consequences for you?" Qin Xiao disagreed with his words and shook his head. "Besides, compared to my brothers and sisters, I am the best choice."

"There is never any best choice." Miao Kaijie unexpectedly got into a fight with him, his eyes flashing with boredom, "You are the type who is being sold out and still helping others count their money."

"We are just more honest." Qin Xiao had no expression on his face, "We can't bear to send irrelevant people to death."

"..."Miao Kaijie looked at him and remained silent for a moment without answering.

"Tian Miao is the same...but his brain is not very good, so it's normal that he can't figure it out." Miao Kaijie finally finished the second half of the sentence, laughed, and turned his face away.

Yin Xihui watched the peaceful atmosphere cool down rapidly, and couldn't help but say: "Everyone has different experiences. If Qin Xiao's father really doesn't care about him, there is no need to rush around for his studies. People in different positions naturally have different ideas."

Miao Kaijie glanced at him, knowing that he was trying to ease the atmosphere, he lowered his eyes for a moment and then smiled: "You are so right..."

Miao Kaijie clapped his hands out of respect, obviously wanting to follow Yin Xihui's wishes and cover up this matter.

"What is your purpose here?" Qin Xiao suddenly asked him.

Miao Kaijie was stunned, met Qin Xiao's cold eyes, listened to this jumping topic, laughed, and answered casually: "Just drink and wait to die."

Qin Xiao was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

The next second, Mo Hanyu walked in.

Mo Hanyu looked around and locked his eyes on Qin Xiao: "Aren't you going back to sleep?"

When Qin Xiao faced Mo Hanyu's gaze, he was stunned at first, feeling a little strange, but he forced himself to ignore the strangeness, responded and stood up.

"We've been chatting for so long that I forgot about the time." Miao Kaijie's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at Mo Hanyu with a smile, "You're not angry, are you?"

"I have nothing to be angry about."

Although he said so, Mo Hanyu looked at him coldly without any extra expression.

Miao Kaijie laughed and was about to say something, but was stopped by Yin Xihui.

"Then you guys should go first, it's getting late." Yin Xihui looked at Qin Xiao, "Will you come to see me tomorrow?"

"uncertain."

"Let's contact each other then. Goodbye."

"Ah."

"Goodbye~"

Miao Kaijie waved his arms happily and even made a heart shape with his hands.

Mo Hanyu got angry when he saw him. Without even glancing at him, he turned around and pulled Qin Xiao out.

"...Do you have a grudge against him?" Yin Xihui couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you think so?" Miao Kaijie cried out in injustice, "Weren't there conflicts before and we are trying our best to repair them?"

Look, is this a repair?

Yin Xi complained to himself, but the smile on his face did not change. He looked at him for a long while, then stood up and gave him a can of camellia: "This is for you. Drink more and talk less in the future."

Miao Kaijie: ...
