"Not anymore." Xia Yinian said softly.
"Don’t overthink it." Gu Lingqian held her, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead again.
Xia Yinian pursed her lips, wanting to push him away, but saw two servants approaching.
She thought too much herself, she and Brother Ling Qian had agreed they were siblings, she shouldn’t doubt that.
"By the way, Brother Ling Qian, are there really a lot of participants in this year’s Alchemy Competition?"
Xia Yinian, in Gu Lingqian’s embrace, looked up at him naturally.
"Yeah, did you think I made up lies just to help Uncle?" Gu Lingqian lowered his eyes, eting the girl’s gaze.
"That’s not it either." Xia Yinian shook her head, "With so many people, it seems really difficult to win this ti."
"As long as it’s a valuable competition, winning is never easy." Gu Lingqian retracted his gaze, looking at the road ahead.
Xia Yinian also retracted her gaze, nodding.
Brother Ling Qian was right, a victory that’s too easy is not really a victory.
"Nian Nian, are you in a relationship?" Suddenly, Gu Lingqian’s voice interrupted Xia Yinian’s thoughts.
"Brother Ling Qian, what nonsense are you talking about?" With no one around, Xia Yinian broke free from Gu Lingqian’s grasp.
"Not really?" Gu Lingqian raised an eyebrow.
"How could that be?" Xia Yinian glanced at the person next to her.
"I’m not in the mood for that now, I just want to pave my own path in alchemy."
"I want to create dicine that can help Grandma Gu, and Grandpa Feng, Grandpa Feng fell into the water and hasn’t woken up, he might beco a vegetative state."
"I hope he can wake up, he is like my own grandpa, treating very well, I don’t want him to stay asleep forever."
"You can do it." Gu Lingqian said with a smile, throwing out a few words, without asking further.
He also knew quite a lot about the Feng family’s matters, anything concerning her, he would find out, undoubtedly.
With Gu Lingqian silent, Xia Yinian didn’t say anything either.
Carrying a small backpack, she directly went upstairs and entered her room.
Gu Lingqian still said nothing, but followed and went inside.
"Brother Ling Qian, don’t you have anything to do tonight?" Xia Yinian took off the backpack from her shoulder and placed it on the table.
"Yes, accompany you." Gu Lingqian sat on the sofa, casually picked up a book.
"Accompany ?" Xia Yinian turned her head to glance at him, "I shouldn’t be so nervous that I can’t sleep, you should go back."
"Not going back, said I’ll accompany you tonight." Gu Lingqian repeated.
"With you here, I won’t be able to sleep, which will affect my performance tomorrow." Xia Yinian murmured softly.
She knew why he wanted to stay, but being alone with a man like this didn’t seem quite right.
"As long as you don’t let your imagination run wild, I won’t affect you." Gu Lingqian smiled at her.
He didn’t want to leave, aside from wanting to protect her, he also had his own selfish motives.
He worried if he left, Uncle would co over, he didn’t want other n near her, just wished he was the one.
Gu Lingqian wasn’t sure if Nian Nian would be angry knowing he had such selfish thoughts.
But lately, his thoughts seed beyond his control.
"Fine, do as you wish, but tonight I need to sleep in bed, there’s a competition tomorrow." Xia Yinian looked at him, furrowing her brows.
"If I don’t rest well, I can’t perform normally tomorrow, I might as well commit suicide."
