Chapter 115: Insincere Feelings (5)
Frankly speaking, Canyun's answer was already within Guisha's predictions. He was very happy to hear Canyun's answer because he chose Feng Qinghan.
"So, do you think he'll listen?"
He did not state it directly, but instead asked using words that he thought Canyun could understand.
"At least not yet ."
Satisfied with Canyun's answer, he expressed his agreement and could not help but admire Canyun's loyalty. Once he made up his mind, he would never waver or change for anything, but he also felt worried about it; however, at least Guisha knew that Canyun would never betray Feng Qinghan, and would even clear away obstacles for Feng Qinghan at all costs; although Guisha did not know the position of Canyun in Feng Qinghan's heart, he knew that it must be an extraordinary position. As for the degree, perhaps only Feng Qinghan himself knew it.
"It's stupid, isn't it?"
Guisha couldn't help but speak out his own thoughts, saying that Canyun's foolish loyalty did not earn him Feng Qinghan's absolute trust. In response, Canyun remained silent and did not say anything. Some things did not need to be said out loud, and it was enough to know them in one's heart.
"On the surface, you always correct his superficial habits, but you still indulge him blindly. You are strict but you obey him. Don't you think you have spoiled him?"
Guisha's words once again brought silence to Canyun, but only for a moment, Canyun's voice rang out: "Maybe, anyway, that person has always been like that from the past to now, no matter what I say or do, he will always be like that in the end."
Canyun spoke his mind without hesitation, as if he was talking to an old friend.
"But this time it's different, right?"
There was a lot of meaning in Guisha's words, and he didn't say it explicitly, but I believe Canyun understood it well enough.
"...Even so, my purpose remains unchanged."
"I do. Well, I won't beat around the bush, so tell me what you're going to do about 'her'?"
At this time, Guisha finally turned his head to look at Canyun, and Canyun also turned his head. The two looked at each other and silence unfolded between them. Canyun knew very well who the 'she' Guisha was referring to. It's not that he didn't understand, but after hearing Guisha's straightforward words, he couldn't help but feel some instinctive suspicion.
After a long while, Canyun turned his gaze back to the original direction, and the cold voice sounded again: "If that person meant it, I won't do anything."
"You are the strangest person I have ever seen around him. You are completely different from the others. I wonder how many of his subordinates are like you?"
“Who knows? Everyone’s nature is different, and what they pursue is naturally different.”
"At all costs?"
"Yes, if it's for that person, I have no reason to hesitate."
"Regardless of whether it puts him in danger?"
"I won't let this happen unless I die."
Canyun's repeated firm and confident answers left Guisha speechless for a moment. Sometimes Guisha would think that he and Canyun were the same type of people, and that they were very compatible in some aspects. But after hearing Canyun's answer, Guisha felt that they might not be the same type at all, at least the things they wanted to protect were completely different.
"What you mean is that if I do anything bad to him, you will also eliminate me?"
Without any fear, the ghost seemed to be asking a trivial question. Canyun did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before giving a reply: "I really want to answer 'yes', but even if that day really comes, he may be willing to die in your hands."
"Are you trying to say this is a way out for me?"
"Isn't it? But don't forget what I just said. Unless I die, I will never let him die before me."
This time it was Guisha who remained silent. He looked at Canyun with a scrutinizing and prying gaze. He thought he knew Canyun a little, but now he felt unfamiliar with him. Guisha admitted that Canyun's thoughts were so simple that they were incomprehensible, but he also felt that if it was Canyun, then nothing would be impossible. Even so, Guisha still had to feel doubtful.
"Your thoughts are very simple, too simple to be what you should be thinking. Could it be that everything you did was just for him?"
"What's wrong with being simple? Or do you think too much of me?"
Canyun answered Guisha's question calmly, as if he was clarifying everything, or felt that there was no need to hide anything? Or was he deliberately avoiding the question? Whatever the reason, Guisha couldn't understand.
"Why are you telling me this?"
The implication of his words was to warn the other party not to trust him too much. Of course, Canyun was not vigilant at all. He turned his gaze back to Guisha, glanced at him briefly, and then turned back to his original position and said: "Nothing, probably because I think it's okay to tell you these things. I have to say something like a confidant. Is it ridiculous? There is such a big gap between you and that person."
“It’s a little ridiculous.”
After saying that, Guisha agreed and turned his gaze to the bright moon in the sky again, and continued: "The gap is not important at all. Perhaps it is because you are too obsessed with your status. I am no different from you or him. We are all human beings. You should not despise yourself. You should know that neither I nor he has ever treated you as a subordinate with a different status."
It cannot be denied that Canyun said nothing. Looking at the moon, the two slowly fell into silence again.
