I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 140 Thoughts

Then he opened the terminal and showed a photo to Qi Yan.

In the photo, Lan Xi was smiling brightly, and Huo Linyuan, who was standing opposite him, also curled up the corners of his mouth.

The photographer took the photo from the side, with the pharmacy department's display stand behind him. The overall layout of the picture looks very harmonious and beautiful.

"Now everyone on Starnet is saying that the Marshal is pursuing Lanxi, and that the person he carried out from the Pharmacy Department that day was Lanxi."

"Puh! Even the black hole in the universe is not as big as their imagination."

Ryan spoke with indignation, which showed that he was really disgusted by netizens' speculation.

Qi Yan knew that was not the case, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

Especially when seeing Huo Linyuan smiling at Lan Xi, although he only slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

But the thought that "A Yuan can also smile so beautifully at other people" lingered in Qi Yan's mind.

Seeing Qi Yan staring at the photo absentmindedly, Ryan waved his hand in front of him.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you seem absent-minded today?"

When he first arrived, Ryan saw him sitting alone in his seat, lost in thought.

Qi Yan's abnormal behavior made Ryan have some vague guesses.

The next second, Ryan became serious, looked at him seriously, and said sternly: "Yanyan, tell me honestly, do you like the marshal?"

Because Qi Yan found out that Al didn't tell Ryan that she was a mermaid, she didn't tell him either.

It’s not because I don’t trust Ryan, but sometimes when you carry too many things, you lose the simplest happiness.

After hearing about the Vincent family from Huo Linyuan, Qi Yan could feel that Al was trying his best to create a simple living environment for Ryan.

So Ryan actually didn't know the relationship between his family and the Huo family, and he didn't know that his brother had actually always been loyal to Huo Linyuan.

Now Rui En only knows that Qi Yan is the son of Li Jia and Jun Yan. For some reasons, he lives in Huo Linyuan's house and has lived with Huo Linyuan since he was a child.

"I like it." Qi Yan answered without thinking.

His frankness made Ryan choke and completely disrupted what he was about to say.

Ryan thought that he would at least be shy for a while, so he had already prepared a long speech in his mind to make him face his inner self.

However, because Qi Yan's answer was too matter-of-fact, Rui En confirmed it again: "It's not the kind of liking for an idol, it's that kind of... love, love, understand?"

Considering Qi Yan's thin skin, Ryan tried to be more tactful.

But Qi Yan nodded seriously and replied, "Yes, I love A Yuan." And he is my most beloved.

But there are many kinds of love, including love for relatives, love for friends, love for partners, and even love for pets.

And what kind of attitude do I have towards A Yuan?

Ryan looked at his clear and pure eyes and the obvious distress on his face and knew that he did not realize his feelings at all, or did not understand them at all.

So Ryan immediately decided to transform himself into a caring older brother and vowed to make him realize his true heart.

"Then let me change the question. How did you feel when you saw this photo?" Ryan asked.

Qi Yan pursed his lips, unable to answer at all. He was not stupid, he knew what Ryan meant by asking this.

In fact, after thinking for a whole morning, Qi Yan also vaguely realized some problems, but he never thought about it in terms of emotions.

Until that photo and Ryan's words seemed to wake him up.

At first, Qi Yan always viewed himself and Huo Linyuan as the relationship between a pet and its owner, so he thought it was normal to be close to Huo Linyuan.

I even think that the reason why I don’t want Huo Linyuan to raise other mermaids is because of his desire for favor from a pet mentality.

After all, he would kiss and hug the kittens he raised in the past, sleep with them, feed them mouthful by mouthful, and he also hoped that the cats would be closest to him.

The only difference is that he was a human in his previous life and had human thinking.

As they spent more time together, Qi Yan felt that he and Huo Linyuan had a close relationship and were inseparable.

In his heart, Huo Linyuan is more important than himself, and they are like a family who depend on each other.

But is this love?

"I don't know. I don't understand what love is like. What kind of love can be considered love?" Qi Yan shook her head sadly, feeling a little depressed.

Qi Yan's previous life had no emotional experience. He understood love, but he did not understand love, and he did not know how couples should get along with each other.

"Then tell me honestly, what if one day the Marshal has someone else by his side?"

"The Marshal will eat with that person, sleep with him, play with him, and grow old with him... Will you be sad?"

No! Just hearing this assumption made Qi Yan feel heartbroken.

"If you feel uncomfortable, painful, or even tormented just thinking about it, then that is love," Ryan said.

Qi Yan's eyes slowly opened wide, and his mind suddenly became clear. He wanted to be with A Yuan for the rest of his life, and it would only be the two of them.

He didn’t want A Yuan to like others, be nice to others, or smile at others…

But then his eyes welled up: "I love A Yuan, the kind of love you give to a partner, but what if A Yuan doesn't feel the same way about me?"

It is undeniable that after realizing her own feelings, this photo circulating on the Internet did make Qi Yan feel a sense of crisis.

Seeing his tearful expression, Ryan was at a loss: "Hey, hey, hey, don't cry!"

He wanted Qi Yan to recognize her true feelings, but he didn't want to make Qi Yan cry.

Now anyone who sees Qi Yan's aggrieved and pitiful look would want to put all the good things in front of him.

For a moment, Ryan even had the urge to tie up Huo Linyuan and give him to Qi Yan.

After calming down, Ryan began to help him analyze the situation: "Don't worry, first tell me how you and the marshal usually get along, and we will analyze it together."

Qi Yan calmed down and began to tell the story.

But then he realized that there was nothing to talk about. His daily life with Huo Linyuan was just ordinary.

So Qi Yan simply summarized their daily interactions as: eating together and sleeping together.

Hearing this, Ryan, who was drinking water, spat out a mouthful of water.

It has already developed to the point of sleeping, so what kind of love were they still struggling with just now?

But looking at Qi Yan's pure eyes, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

isn't it...

Ryan asked tentatively, "Is it the kind where we just chat under the covers?"

Qi Yan was puzzled but nodded: "Yeah, sometimes A Yuan would tell me stories."

Ryan choked and felt like he was going to faint.

How should he tell Qi Yan that when a man has no desire for you, it means he has no feelings in that regard?

If it were him and Al, Al would stick to him whenever they were alone.

Thinking of what happened a few days ago, Ryan was still frightened and couldn't help but tremble in his legs.

At this moment, thinking about the nominal foster relationship between Huo Linyuan and Qi Yan, Ryan came to a conclusion.

"Yanyan, forgive me for being blunt, but I think the marshal is probably raising you as his son."

"Do you really think so?"

Seeing the visibly disappointed look on Qi Yan's face, Rui En wanted to slap himself twice for speaking his mind.

After all, I had just realized my feelings, and now I have to accept the fact that the person I like doesn't like me. This blow is too great.

Ryan hurried to save the situation: "But it doesn't matter. After all, you are the only one around the Marshal now, and you live and eat together. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first..."

Seeing that Qi Yan was in a bad mood, Ryan gradually stopped talking about how to liven up the atmosphere.

At this time, Qi Yan looked at her wrist, then forced a smile at Ryan: "Thank you, Ryan, I understand. The teacher just notified me to do the experiment. I'll leave first."

"Hey, Yanyan..."

Looking at Qi Yan's worried back, Ryan felt a little worried.
