Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Chapter 218 Study hard

Zhang Qiling has been acting a little weird lately.

Qin Yuchen sat at the stone table in the yard, watching Zhang Qiling going in and out to help Hei Xia Zi, frowning in confusion.

To be honest, he had just returned from a long trip.

He and Zhang Qiling had just returned from Motuo and had just finished listening to Wuxie's martial arts history. Before he had time to visit Xie's house to see Xie Yuchen, Qin Yuchen said goodbye to them and went out again that night.

From where Qin Yuchen was sitting, it was easy for him to see the scene in the kitchen through the window. He looked at the two people who were secretly competing with each other, and very decisively confirmed that the reason why someone was feeling awkward was not because he didn't take him out, but for other reasons.

As for the other thing, Qin Yuchen hasn't thought of it yet.

I didn't get any answer from them.

Not only that, when he first discovered the problem and asked Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling frowned instantly, said nothing and silently walked away from him.

Tan Yuchen: "..."

Something is wrong, so wrong.

Qin Yuchen lay on the stone table with his head resting on his arms and sighed helplessly.

"Old Tan, come and have dinner."

"What on earth did you do to make him always look at you like he wanted to beat you to death?"

Qin Yuchen was puzzled, so he took the opportunity when Hei Xiazi called him to ask directly.

"Uh..." Hei Xiazi looked back at Zhang Qiling who was standing behind him without saying a word, and smiled awkwardly.

"Nothing much, just had a long talk with him all night.

I gave him a book by the way.”

"Book?" Tan Yuchen was even more confused. "What book?"

"Just..." Hei Xiazi paused for two seconds deliberately. Seeing Qin Yuchen's curious eyes, he smiled mysteriously without saying anything, "A book... to increase your knowledge~"

"Fuck" Qin Yuchen couldn't help but swear, and took out the candy from his pocket and threw it at Hei Xia Zi.

"Hehe." Hei Xia Zi reacted very quickly. He took the candy and put it in his pocket. He turned off the fire, put the last dish on a plate, handed it to Zhang Qiling and asked him to take it to the living room.

"So what book is it?"

At the dining table, after the two of them were seated, Qin Yuchen held the chopsticks in his hand, leaned his face against the person opposite him, and asked again.

Zhang Qiling paused while picking up the food, pretending not to hear.

"Ok?"

Qin Yuchen continued to ask.

"..." Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes and shook his head silently.

"Come, come, let me tell you."

Hei Xia Zi looked at the two of them back and forth, chuckled, leaned close to Qin Yuchen's ear, and whispered something.

Zhang Qiling raised his eyes instantly and looked at Qin Yuchen's face seriously.

Qin Yuchen listened attentively at first, but when Hei Xiazi finished speaking, his expression immediately became numb. He suppressed his temper and chuckled:

"You suddenly want him to study hard?"

Qin Yuchen moved a little further away from Hei Xia Zi, met Zhang Qiling's gaze, and smiled wider:

"Is it too late to think about making progress?"

"..."

"..."

The two people who were attacked by the sarcasm silently put their food into their mouths.

Qin Yuchen pinched his nose bridge in annoyance, exhaled and decided not to ask any more questions for the time being.

After dinner, the three of them went about their business.

Qin Yuchen tidied up the kitchen, threw away the garbage, washed his hands, and returned to the room with some water. He found Zhang Qiling sitting at the desk in a daze.

"Don't study hard?"

Qin Yuchen placed the water cup next to Zhang Qiling and sat on the recliner at the back.

"……no."

"I'll take you to see it."

Zhang Qiling could feel Qin Yuchen's patience gradually disappearing, but he was short of words and couldn't think of how to explain it.

He let out a breath, prepared himself mentally, and decided to use the simplest and most direct method to tell Qin Yuchen what book Black Blind gave him.

He stood up, turned around, held Qin Yuchen's hand, and motioned him to follow him.

Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, used the force to stand up and followed Zhang Qiling to another bedroom.

That was where Zhang Qiling lived when they hadn't confirmed their relationship yet. Later, Zhang Qiling and Qin Yuchen slept together, and no one came to their place, so the house has been empty ever since.

Because of the book, Zhang Qiling cleaned up and started living there again these days.

This was also the beginning when Qin Yuchen discovered that something was wrong with him.

Zhang Qiling pushed open the door. The room was simple and tidy, with good ventilation. As soon as the door was opened, the evening breeze blew in.

"Here." Zhang Qiling's goal was clear. He led Qin Yuchen to the desk, opened the drawer on the first layer, took out a wrinkled book from the innermost layer, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to Qin Yuchen.

Tan Yuchen took it.

This book is badly wrinkled, as if someone had squeezed it hard and then unfolded it again, trying hard to smooth out the wrinkles.

There are no words, no introduction, and no pictures on the cover.

Just from the surface, you can't tell what kind of book it is.

Qin Yuchen had a hunch that this was not a good book, but he still opened it and flipped through a few pages at random.

By the time I realized what I had seen, it was too late.

The strength in his hands suddenly increased, causing the already wrinkled book to be crumpled into a ball.

Qin Yuchen grinned, threw away the book and left the room.

Zhang Qiling blinked and watched Qin Yuchen's figure disappear at the door. The inexplicable emotion in his heart disappeared. He bent down to pick up the book and just threw it into the trash can when Hei Xiazi's voice came from outside.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and chose not to go out.

"Damn it, Old Tan! You just want to compete, why do you have to use a knife?"

"Don't you know how sharp your knife is? I'm a blind timid man and I can't stand being scared!!"

"Hei Ye always keeps his word. We agreed to compete, why are you running?

Also, who told you to show Zhang Qiling those inexplicable things?"

"..."

"Dumb!" Hei Xiazi climbed up the wall in two or three steps, sat on it and shouted at the top of his voice for someone who had not appeared for a long time.

Qin Yuchen stopped and looked at the black bear on the wall from a distance, holding the knife, with a kind smile on his face:

"Come down, let's talk."

"I won't!" Hei Xiazi rolled his eyes and smiled wickedly:

"Old Tan, I saw that the mute knew nothing, so I wanted to help you and open his mind.

Besides, I, the blind man, got that book with great difficulty. How come you and the mute don’t know how to cherish it?”
