    Chapter 64 Heartbeat (Second update)

    (sixty-four)

    The forbidden area of Rongyun Sect, Bloody Cliff.

    Shen Tanqi stood silently opposite Yu Ce, and Yu Ce responded with the same silence. The two people who used to talk about everything turned out to be mute at this time.

    After a long time, Shen Tanqi spoke first: "That little chicken that always follows me is actually my system."

    "Yeah." Yu Ce responded quietly without raising his head.

    Shen Tanqi was inexplicably agitated, and his voice became much lower: "Raise your head and look at me."

    Hearing this, Yu Ce slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Tanqi, his dark eyes like a pool of quiet stagnant water.

    It's time to leave, but the relationship is so tense.

    Shen Tanqi sighed and continued: "The system says that if you want to leave, you must follow the plot. The male protagonist in the plot...that is, you, needs a sword to stab my heart before I can leave here."

    After hearing his words, Yu Ce finally had a wave of emotion in his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he spoke with difficulty, "You want me to kill you?"

    Shen Tanqi naturally knew that this request was simply unreasonable and would cause irreparable psychological damage to Yu Ce, but now there was no other choice at all. He could only say this and do this.

    "Don't worry, the system has given me the ability to not feel any pain. Even if you really poke me in, I won't be in pain." As if to prove that what he said was true, Shen Tanqi pulled out Xiaohei, wanting to make another cut on his fingertips.

    Before he could take action, his wrist was tightly grasped by Yu Ce.

    Shen Tanqi looked at him in astonishment, while Yu Ce's eyes were heavy and he pushed his hand back to his side.

    Thinking that he didn't believe it, Shen Tanqi continued to explain anxiously: "Don't worry, I will be fine. I will explain everything to my brother when I go back and I will be back soon. You believe me..."

    Before he finished speaking, Yu Ce whispered: "I believe it."

    He believed every word Shen Tanqi said.

    Yu Ce saw all the magical things that happened to him. He didn't ask, he just didn't want to force Shen Tanqi to talk.

    The wind blew by, and Yu Ce's figure seemed to be meeting him for the first time, still standing tall and tall, his white clothes better than the snow.

    He gently stretched out his hand to straighten the wind-blown hair on Shen Tanqi's forehead, his eyes focused on his face.

    Shen Tanqi was in a daze.

    "Aqi."

    He called out like this.

    "After you go back, take care of yourself." His fingertips slowly moved down and cupped the side of Shen Tanqi's face, as if he wanted to remember his face, every frown and every smile in his heart.

    Shen Tanqi stood stunned, forgetting what he originally wanted to say.

    The fingers on the side of his face were cold. Yu Ce's hands were always so cold. Even if he slept on the same bed with him at night, covered with the same pillow and quilt, his body was still as cold as water.

    He saw Yu Ce smile, very reluctantly, but very tenderly.

    "Have you said goodbye to the goldfish and taro balls?" Yu Ce's voice was shallow. It seemed that they were just saying ordinary things on a very ordinary day and at a very ordinary time.

    Shen Tanqi shook his head, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to look into Yu Ce's eyes, and whispered, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave again if I see them shed tears."

    Yu Ce said "hmm" and said, "That's fine."

    The world was quiet, the wind stopped suddenly, and time seemed to stand still. He and Yu Ce stood there for a long time.

    In the end, Shen Tanqi averted his eyes first and said in a low voice: "Come on."

    It's time to leave, and it's not like I won't come back, so why are you saying these sentimental words?

    He would come back, he swore.

    Yu Ce nodded slightly, and slowly drew out the long sword from his side. The sword was covered with his cold breath, and reflected a cold blue light under the cold sky, with thick fog rising one after another.

    Remembering the system's instructions, Shen Tanqi stretched out his hand, pointed at his chest, and said, "Aim here. Don't think about anything. Yu Ce, treat me as the person you hate the most and poke me in."

    I don't know if Yu Ce heard what he said, but Shen Tanqi could only see that his face seemed to be gradually blurred in the fog.

    Shen Tanqi also drew his sword, faced him, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't had a fight yet. I've made great progress recently, you should give it a try."

    In the fog, Yu Ce's voice, whose emotion could not be heard, came, and he said, "Okay."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tanqi rushed towards him with his sword, with a smile on his lips, and whispered: "Sneak attack, this is also written in the script."

    The cold blades intersected, emitting a deep low roar like a dragon's roar, which echoed for a long time on the empty bloody cliff.

    Shen Tanqi's progress was indeed considerable, but Yu Ce's swordsmanship was so good that Shen Tanqi fell behind within a few rounds.

    However, Shen Tanqi was very satisfied with being able to last a few rounds. This meant that his training had not been in vain these days, right?

    As soon as his thoughts left his mind for a moment, the cold sword suddenly touched his heart. Shen Tanqi was slightly startled. He didn't expect his sword to be so fast and accurate.

    The air froze for a moment, and Shen Tanqi lowered his sword-holding hand and winked at him: "I lost, I'll let you do whatever you want."

    The person in front of him looked at him quietly and repeated in a low voice: "Is it at your disposal?"

    Shen Tanqi was stunned for a moment and responded: "Yeah."

    Next, Yu Ce should finish him off with a sword.

    But Yu Ce smiled slightly, with the corners of his lips slightly curved, and his smile was so beautiful and touching.Shen Tanqi was stunned for a moment.

    "Okay," Yu Ce gently stretched out his hand, put it on Shen Tanqi's shoulder, and said, "Ah Qi, there is something I want to do before I send you away."

    At this juncture, what can Yu Ce do?

    Shen Tanqi looked at him confused, but his body was suddenly pulled closer to him, and the sword penetrated his heart. He felt no pain. Shen Tanqi had no idea that his life was passing away.

    Yu Ce lowered his head and kissed him gently on the lips.

    Shen Tanqi's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the fingers on his shoulders seemed to sense his thoughts and clasped the back of Shen Tanqi's head, preventing him from running away. Yu Ce rubbed his lips over and over again.Flap, slowly intensifying the kiss, the tips of the tongues touching each other, intruding deeply, her breathing entangled, Shen Tanqi couldn't even speak, and her mind went blank.

    He raised his eyes in panic and saw Yu Ce's eyes still staring at him, as if silently confiding panic, grief, helplessness and despair.

    "How could you leave?"

    Lips and teeth connected, Yu Ce bit his lip like a revenge, murmuring.

    "Why are you so cruel that you let me kill you with my own hands?"

    Shen Tanqi clumsily put her hand on his chest, opened her mouth and was about to say something, when Yu Ce kissed him involuntarily.

    With his face held in his hands, Shen Tanqi could only see him and feel his breathing. His eyes were lost in his eyes and he had forgotten where he was.

    "look at me."

    "Aqi."

    "Tell me, have you ever, for a moment,"

    "Ever liked me?"

    Shen Tanqi was stunned on the spot, and Yu Ce's appearance in front of him shone softly in the gold dust. Just like when he first saw him, Yu Ce met him falling into the water by the lotus pond. He stretched out his hand and pulled him out of the water. The moment he came out of the water, the curtainUnder the snowy gauze of his hat, the sparkling skylight and lake color reflected in his eyes.

    He clearly couldn't see it clearly, but his heart skipped a beat suddenly, and then faster and faster, like a weak flame falling into the grassy wasteland, the fire became fierce and intensified.The beating made him gasp for breath without relief.

    Jumping so fast.

    Jumping so fast.

    Shen Tanqi opened his eyes wide as if awakened from a dream - his heart was beating so fast.

    When you see him being wronged, you can't help but want to help him. When you see him sad, you can't help but want to hug him and coax him. When you see him ignoring you, you will be irritable and find it difficult to get angry patiently.

    Do you like it?

    In the fantasy, when his father reached out to hit him when he was ten years old, who did he think of? Who was the person who thought of him when he was kidnapped by Xie Chi and was on the verge of despair?

    Do you like it?

    Immerse yourself in Yu Ce's meticulous care, enjoy Yu Ce's gaze and preference that never dodge towards you, and accept Yu Ce's lame excuses to approach again and again with peace of mind.

    Do you like it?

    If not, why did he look into Yu Ce's eyes, his heart beating fast, and he was dazzled.

    "Your heart will sometimes lie to you. Sometimes it doesn't beat, but it just doesn't happen at the right time."

    "It deceives you once or twice, but there will always be a time when it fails to deceive you. When a suitable opportunity comes, you suddenly discover it, and you will sincerely sigh, so it is so, so it is so -"

    So that’s it,

    ——He likes Yu Ce, and has liked him for a long time.

    From every day and night we spent together, his heart had already given the answer.

    Shen Tanqi suddenly understood, and stretched out his hand to keep the person in front of him. In his slightly stunned eyes, he said eagerly: "Yu Ce, actually, I have always..."

    like you.

    Before he could even speak, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and Shen Tanqi closed his eyes subconsciously.

    When he opened it again, he saw the familiar simple wall tiles in front of him. Shen Tanqi was stunned and looked down. There was a bottle of shower gel in his hand.

    Damn it, he's back!

    However, before he finished speaking, he almost confessed!!!

    Shen Tanqi shouted anxiously: "System! Where are you from the system? Come out quickly!"

    The next moment, the system chick appeared at his feet out of thin air and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Host, you are so efficient at work. You put it back on before I was ready."

    Shen Tanqi didn't care about its politeness, grabbed the chick, and begged eagerly: "Can you put it back on first and tell Yu Ce that I like him and that I have him in my heart!"

    The system made an "ah" sound, and its expression suddenly changed: "You didn't tell him? I thought you told him when you kissed just now!"

    Shen Tanqi:......

    He was silent for a moment, too lazy to complain about it peeping again, and said: "I almost said it, can you go back? You are the system, you should be able to travel between the book and the real world at will, right?"

    Hearing this, the system nodded and said: "I can, but there are no tasks there. I can't stay for a long time. I can only stay for ten minutes, otherwise I will be discovered by the host."

    ten minutes.

    enough.

    As long as Yu Ce can know that he really likes him, that's enough.

    "Okay, if you have enough time, remember to tell him to let the goldfish eat less sweets and be careful of tooth decay. Ask Taro Yuan to be careful when practicing sword practice, so as not to hurt himself, and..."

    The system coughed dryly and reminded: "Well...it may not be possible to say so much in ten minutes."

    Shen Tanqi was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up: "It doesn't matter, as long as you tell him that I like him, I will go back soon."

    After the words fell, the system responded, turning into a ray of light in mid-air and disappearing in front of Shen Tanqi's eyes.

    ten minutes later.

    The system came back, with a cold sweat on my forehead, and he said hesitantly: "That..."

    Shen Tanqi asked expectantly: "How is it? Did he hear it? What did Yu Ce say?"

    The system remembered Yu Ce's cold eyebrows, his heart was still beating, and his voice became quieter and quieter.

    "Well, he said...he didn't believe it and asked you to go back and tell him in person."

    Shen Tanqi:......

    Depend on.

    "Did you tell me about the goldfish and taro balls?" Shen Tanqi rubbed his forehead and asked again.

    The system rubbed its paws and said, "I said it, but Yu Ce said..."

    "Tell you to go back and take care of it yourself."

    Shen Tanqi was silent.

    It seems that someone is really angry this time.
